THE RIGHTS or DIRECTORS.
The California tiapal Convention
Against Corpora ions.
lphilatlelrhIa Tlmea.l

good deal Of feeling Is manifested in the
California convention ON the subject Of the
management Of banks and savings natitu-
tons I'm that State, and the latest San Fran
cisco papers report the adoption Of u string
ent provision for tho personal liability of
stockholders, directors and trustees. The
section as adopted was an amendment offered
by Judge Terry. and reads as follows:
Each stakeholder of q corporation or joint
stock association shall be individually and
personally liable for such proportion of all It's
debts and liabilities contracted or incurred
during the time when he was a stakeholder as
amount Of stock or shares owned by him bears
to the whole of the subscribed capital stock
or shares of corporation or association. Tho
directors or trustees Of corporations and joint
stock associations shall be jointly and sever
ally liable to creditors and stockholders for all
moneys cmbcZ2lcd or misappropriatcdb by OIL
GERS of such corporation or joint stock associ-
alton during the terms Of Office OF such direc-
tors or trustees.
There was vigorous opposition made to
this, and it was declared that its adoption
would break NJ half the corporations in the
State. for no capitalist would be willing to in
vest his money IN banking when he ran so
great risk Of personal responsibility. Tothis
the answers were thai banks and savings i1Sti-
buttons were rs much bound to he honest and
safe as individuals carrying on business, and
should he held to equally strict account; and
that If some Of the banking corporations We're
curtailcd of power and some Of the great
CAPITALISTS in them induced to retire, ii would
be q blessing rather than an injury 70 the
state. Nearly two-thirds of the convention
took this Wow. and the tone of this large
majority, 1t is very evident, Is strongly in
favor of restricting cooperative power. Other
sections OF the proposed constitution will no
doubt present the same characteristics.

War Upon the National Banks.
IPitteburg Post.l

u
Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, has indicated
to several Of his associates now in Washing
ton the position which he believes leading
Democrats IN Congress will take during the
coming session upon the financial question.
He thinks they will, upon consultation with
each other. conclude that no party can over
succeed in this country with platform which
looks towards irrcdeemable paper currency.
He thinks, therefore, that the Democrats will
be disposed to drop their greenbaek discus
sions and projects, and in their place unite in
a war upon national banks. He thinks they
will beable to practically unite their party on
this. and also TO draw much strength from
the Republicans, many Of whom have long
been opposed 80 banks, but since the late ac-
tion of the banks in regard to silver he feels
confident that the opponents to the banks in
both parties will rapidly increase in number.
II seems to us Senator Mcdonald has struck
q sensible vein.

The Republican congressional committee,
Of which Eugene Hale was chairman and Geo.

They made two assessments on all the de-
partment officials, and authorized u third by
the different aState committees respectively
on such ofliceholders as were credited to their
States. A good deal of the money thus col
lected was expended in keeping up the No
tiondi Republican, as it was deemed party
necessity to maintain it at least during the
campaign. This was done by paying it two
prices for documents. and ordering immense
numbers Of theng. A good deal of money was
used in paying poll or "capitaton taxes" in
Virginia. For this purpose DR.. Jorgensen
cost the committee about $4,000, and the man
that ran against Goode half as much more
The Democratic Congressional Committee,
on the contrary, had less than $1,000 in ALL
which sum was mostly expended for docu-
ments In the way Of contrast these figures
are worth remembering.

An inspection of the official returns oE the

Many Of the Democrats mt home and abroad
entertained approximations that their as
tendency In the House was endangered Pow
erful Influences were exetted by some Of the
Democratic journals In different parts of the
country. and still more potent ones from pri-
vate sources, to have the combination scheme
carried out. The general plan of the cam
paign was conducted largely on this line and
every effort was put forth to make it n sue
cess. We now have tho official results. Where
are the Democratic Representatives who were

sagacious enough to foresee In what such an
arrangement would result. They are not dis
appointed. Trading and tral1icking is poor
business for a party which has always boosted
of its devotion to principle The tampering
with Gen. Butler resulted MS we predicted.
and he got tho hest end of the bargain, as he
usually does. IT those Democrats who were

becoming allied with him. secretly favored
his programme, can find any comfort In look
