SENATOR wISDOM.

The senior Senator from Minnesota has
lust left for his Western home after one of
the most labOriOus sessions in the history of
Congress. We are sure that the best SYM
pathies and wishes and prayers of the citi-
zens of the District Of Columbia will not
only go with him and follow after him, but
that they will continue to How out toward
him during the recess, supplemented and
reinforced by the bensOns Of the producers
and consumers the whole country through.
Had II not been for his efforts in the Senate
and in the conference committees this Dis
trict would have fallen far short Of its
necessary appropriations, while those sums
needed foT the deficiencies in the various
branches of the public service that arose
from the pinching, demagogical, parsi-
mony of the Randallites of the Forty
fourth Congress, and those for tl.e prose-
cution of work on the public build
ings and for tire improvement OF
rivers and harbors would have re-
mained locked up in the Treasury instead
of being disbursed to furnish food to the
laborer and employment to the idle. The
wishes and recommendations Of the Com

National Banks In virginia.

To The Editor Of ne National Republican!
SIR: desire toshow you the way Virginia
stands for banking capital In consequence Of the
act Of Congress charging 10 per cent. tax on all
bank issues except those Of national banks,
and this will apply to fourteen States In the
South and Southwest also. On the lst Of Jan.
uary, 1850, nineteen years ago, the capital Of
the Virginia banks was Sl5,315, 1855; ; circula-
tion, S10.9l4,l96; deposits, $7,962, PAS; bills
discount ga ,575, ,002: specie, s. 109,637. On the
1st Of November, 1873 the capital of Virginia
national banks was $3.50, 900; circulation, -, 2.
i91 ,0sO deposits s., ,i39 OOD; bills discount,
S,0O5, ,i20; specie, ~, 49, aud these banks had
on deposit In the Treasury to secure circula-
tion and deposits, 1896, ,25O.
In the Treasury redemption-fund, si29 s34
and In tho hands of reserve agents, Si53 093,
making In all S3,0i5,l77. Taking the whole
capital aud stock S559, III of deposits and max
Ing the communities that much poorer by the
establishment Of these banks. On the lst OF
November, 1877, the capital was $3,4s5, 900
circulation, S2,5l6,G23.
Now, suppose IL Congress was to withdraw
the national bank issues and put in their
place greenbacks, the issues in all would he
S6GU, 100000 or S670,0O0OOO, aud S200,00O, 900
Of silver and gold In the Treasury would be
ample to redeem what might DO required, for
l suppose hardly anybody would expect It to
remain long at par without providing for It's
redemption. The people would then have one
currency, aud not depend on 1900 national
banks. The matter rests with the South, South
west, and West to do this thing. II they rely
upon New York and Boston 1t never will be
done. kEMPER.

NEW LONDONs VERDICT ON COLONEL
WAIT,

In the course Of a review Of Connecticuts
representation in Congress, the New London
Telegram says: "The Representative from
"this district, Colonel JOHN +. WAIT, fur
"nishcs the only redeeming feature in the
"present Connecticut delegation in the
House. Being the only Republican Repre-
sentative from the State, his duties have
necessarily been very arduous, for he has
"been called upon to render services to many
"Outside Of his immediate constituency. He
"alone Of all the members from Connecticut
twas qualified by previous legislative ex-
"perieuce for the successful discharge of the
duties Of Congressman. He has dis
charged those duties creditably on the floor
"of the House, in the committee-rooms, and
at the Departments in attending to the
private interests of his constituents. He
!" has not taken a particularly prominent
part in debate, but on proper occasions he
"has spoken to the point, notably in the
Colorado contested election cases, in which
"his speech was the most effective that was
made against the outrage of seating PAT

We sincerely commisserate the proprie-

the daily drivel of editorial nnstiness that

over its utterances. No amount Of money

being within it's bounds. If il would only
inspire to a proper respect for the laws of
the country, the rights of all the people, and
mutuality of regard which brings real
confidence and friendship between sections,
then the nation cannot have too much of it,
and it cannot be too highly appreciated.
But there is love of ambition which is but
desire for greatness and power, and which
seeks to subiugate rather than TO foster and

A View of Nebraska.
LINCOLN, NEB., July 26, 1878.

Lincoln, NEB, July 20, 1910.
To he Editor Of the National RepuJIieda!
SIR: The future of Nebraska never looked
more encouraging than ut the present time.
Upon all sides we see prosperity. II Is great
sight to sec immense fields of grain waving In
the bright sunlight-felds that will insure
freedom from financial distress to the farmers,
and q consequent strong business condition Of
all relative circles. lie who has labored
against serious rcverses in past years, the
most overpowering of all being the grass
hopper devastation, eau now, in the beautiful
cloud of adversely passing away and the clear
sky Of prosperity coming before him.
IMMIGRATION
Within tho past twelve months over 3000,-
900 acres OF land has been settled upon In this
State, aud within the last sixty days one
county In the southwestern portion of the
State, Harlem, has doubled in population.
Every train that enters the State from the
East Is filed with immigrants. To such as are
inclined TO work no State offers greater in
acknowledged schools, churches, fine water,
healthy climate, and US good land as ever the
light Of Heaven shown upon. Government
land can still be found in the southwestern
counties, but | do not think there will be an
acre left for entry In the State within twelve
months. Now Is the time to step IN, ana, II
honest and industrious you can always find
friends ready to give a helping hand. Rail
road land Ia this State Is being held rs high rs
$l5 per acre. and II is not better, II rs good, as
the Government land In Harlem and other
southwestern counties.
THE CAPITAL.
Lincoln Is undoubtedly the most orderly
city in the Union Of its size. The temperance
boys run the machine. All the city officers
are temperance workers, and NJ q consequence
the office of police judge has been abolished,
there being nothing for him to do. have yet
to see person In the place under the in
iiuence OF liquor. The city has u population Of
5000 aud only one police officer. This is a
good showing for the temperance boys.
| POLITICAL.
The Republican State Central Committee
met hero Oh the cath instant, and selected DC.
tober ] as the day upon which to hold the con-
aud other State offices. The feeling among
Republicans in this State Is very bitter against
| Hayes policy, aud his action In removing Re.
publicans to make room for Democrats Is do
nounced upon Rll sides.
While there are great many anxious TO Sc
cure the nomination for Congress, think II
safe to say that the present incumbent, Hon
Frank Welsh, will be renominatcd. Nebraska
will give a Republican majority Of fifteen
thousand this fall, and with Grant and Conk-
ling as the nominees In 1850 will double that
| start westward again tomorrow, and will
drop you an occasional item by the way.

far ~ the colored IAN in the Southern
