SIBERIAN AND THE PRESIDENCY.

SHERMAN and THE PRESIDENCY.
1t is probable that Secretary Sherman will
meet with opposition to his Presidential as
pirations from an unlocked for quarter. His
policy in disposing of the bonds of the gov
eminent may be looked upon in some di-
rections as masterpiece of financial en-
cheering, hut in others it meets only the
severest condemnation. The national banks
have reason to remember him, and by the
time they are required to substitute four per
cent. bonds for those now on deposit as Sc
curity for their circulation on the first of
July next, they will feel in no friendly mood
towards him.
Few of the national banks have had the
forethought to provide themselves with the
four per cent. bonds necessary to replace
those bearing higher rate Of interest on de-
post at Washington. Their neglect was
natural and not to be condemned.
When the nav bonds were first
issued they sold sparingly., Gradually the
sales increased, but only in such proportion
as to lead to the impression that the pur-
chasers were private individuals seeking q
safe investment for their surplus earnings.
For the,first few months even the most sa-
eacious financiers would have thought that
several years would be required to consume
the whole amount authorized. But few
bankers began to take up the bonds, and the
subscriptions continued to increase. Finally

the infamous conduct Of Mr.. Hayes in dis
approving Of q STRICTLY judicial decision ct
the diotation OF partisan malignity ought to
awaken the indignation of every honest
citizen. II has but one parallel in history.
II is related briefly in the book of books
thus:
PLATE saith unto them, What shall I do then
with Jesus, which is called Christi They all
say unto him, LET him be crucifed" And the
governor said, 'Why! what evil hath he done?','ss
But they cried ont the more. saying, .l4st him
be orucifed." When PLATE saw that he could
prevail nothing, but that rather 70 tumult was
made, he took water, and washed hla hands
before the multitude, saying,I am innocent
Of the blood Of this just PERSON: see " e it,
Is Jesus was tried before PLATE and was
found guiltless, yet, consenting to the clamor
Of the populace, the Judge gave him over to
be orueifed. Gen. Porter was tried before
q court OF Mr.. Hayes own selection and
pronounced innocent, yet Hayes, obedient to
the olamor Of . despicable and dishonored
party, has consented to continuing him in
dishono.. When the two transactions are
compared, that Of plate stands forth bril-
liant with noble manhood, while that Of
Hayes sinks far below the level of the most
cruel and abject wretch that history consigns
to universal execration. a
Tho case seems to have become one of
politics, and not military evidences" We are
glad Of it. If the Republican party, in I'D.
dition TO it's already heavy load Of infamies,
can endure this browning shame, the Democ-
racy can. But in the name Of outraged
Justice and our common humarity,w we pro-
test against SO detestable an exhibition Of
partisan malignity. s, f.. S. .s 7.

SARATOGA, May 28.-The American Baptist
society held its ffty-ffth anniversary this after
noon. The abstract of the annual report was
read. At the close of last year the society had
q debt of 20,000. By various efforts in Janu-
airy $19, 400 was collected and the balance has
been covered by private subscription. Total
departments, 1888, ALB, being $50, 800
over last year; $500 was donated by
churches and received from Investments of
funds for missionary wo-k. Total issues of
the society since 1924, 107 500 600 books tracts
and periodicals.. During the year the society 8
corporteurs visited $50, 600 families. All mis-
sionaries appointed since 1867 are strictly mis-
sionary and have organized 1000 Sunday
| schools. Among the wants are $4,000 to be
invested, income to be used for the distribu-
ton of bibles among the colored people, and q
like sum for the permanent fund.
Rev. DR.. Osborne presented this:
WHEREAS, The Southern Baptist convention
appreciating the Importance of catchistlcal in
struction of the people in the fundamental
| mlttee to prepare catechism, and AZ the need
of such instruction is by no means sectional,
and it is eminently desirable that our doctrinal
teachings be uniform; therefore
Resolved, That the board of this society be
and is hereby instructed to proffer cooperation
with said committee and that the board be
authorized to appoint committee, if after
correspondence it is deemed advisable to CO.
operate with committee of the Southern
i convention that such catechism whom pub
lished may be approved, endorsed and recon-
mended for use throughout the whole land.
j This resolution caused an animated discus
| sion, during which it was stated that the
catechisms now in use are too obstruse and
j otherwise unsuitable. Resolution passed.

i. THE SOUTHERN MINNESOTA.

Sale Of the Controlling Interest to the Mil
waukee s. st. Paul Company-Extendink
the Line.
There have been for months past rumors
that the Milwaukee & St. Paul company had
purchased or was about to purchase the South
ern Minnesota road. During the last few days
these rumors have assumed tangible form.
Consequently, upon finding among the arrivals
at the Merchants last night s. 8. Merrill, lof
the Milwaukee & st. Paul road,
and sP. NJ. Myers and J. G. Eas-
ton of the Southern Minnesota, GLOBE
envoy proceeded to investigate. Mesars. Easton.
and Myers were readily found and the desired
information freely given. These gentlemen
stated that there was some 81, zoe, 600 of COM.
mon stock of the Southern Minnesota road,
and that the majority of this stock had been
purchased by the Milwaukee & st. Paul COM
pany. There is no preferred stock, but there
is q bonded indebtedness on the eastern end
of twenty-five Thousand dollars per mile,
Thousand dollars. The road is now in
the hands of the bondholders, with an ami
cable agreement with the stockholders, that by
paying up all arrears and interest the stock
can take possession, and that such payment
must be made by the lat Of January, 1883.
The Milwaukee company have, at present,
simply secured control of the stock, and will
perfect their title in the future. This practi-
cally gives the control of the road to the Mil
waukee company, but no change is to be made
in the management or working operations Of
the line. 3H
In regard to the extension of the line these
gentlemen say it will be pushed to the western
boundary Of the State very rapid ", and prob
ably reach there by september. There is some
delay owing to the necessity Of bridging the
Des Moines river at jackson, but that will be
completed by the Goth of June. and they will
then commence to lay iron at the rate of a
mile and half per day. They
also expect to build thirty miles into
Dakota territory this year, but that
will have to be done by another company, as
the present organization is only empowered to
go to the State line.
These gentlemen expressed some surprise at
the movement'of the st. Paul & Sioux City
company in building a line from Heron lake
to the Missouri river, as the two tracks will
run parallel to each other and only two 4or
three miles apart. They say, however, that
this will make no difference with the Southern
Minnesota plans, except to hasten the work
Mr.. Myers declares that he will have more men
at work than have ever been seen before or
the same length of road.

syndicate was formed in New York which
surprised the country by subscribing to
twenty millions of bonds. A few months
elapsed, when subscription of fifty mil
lions was made. This was quickly followed
by subscription forall that remained, some
one hundred and fifty millions. Then
salvo of applause went up oil over the coun-
try, and the newspapers all sang peans OF
praise to the financial sagacity of Secretary
Sherman. His success in funding the
bonds of the government at q reduction of
two per cent. in the rate of interest. It
was great achievement, no doubt, but its
full import was not understood until about
a month since. Then the truth dawned up
on the country, especially that part Of the
country comprising the national banks. A
few days after the bonds we're taken the
financial reports showed small premium on
four per cent. bonds. That premium has
been constantly increasing ever since, until
yesterday they were quoted at 1.0511aa. The
effect of the policy is simply this: The
national banks are required to substitute
four per cent. bonds for the six per cents.
they now have on deposit by the first of
eJuly next. In order to do so they are COM
PEELED, by Sherman's financial policy, to pay
a premium Of five and q half per cent. for the
privilege of making the exchange, and to pay
it to the syndicate, which holds all of the
bonds that can be utilized for the purpose.
Let us see what Shermap's financial pol
10y has cost the national banks. Their cir
culation is, in round numbers, three hundred
and fifty millions of dollars. To maintain
this circulation they are required to keep on
deposit three hundred and eighty-f five mil
lion dollars in United States bonds. Pre-
Stunning that third Of the banks have had
the foresight to provide for replacing their
six per cent. with four per cent.
bonds-a liberal estimate-and we
find that two hundred and sixty mill
lions of bonds will have to be purchased by
the banks from the syndicate, at a premium
of five and half per cent. This is equiya-
lent to the levy of tax upon the banks,
payable to Mr.. Sherman favorites, of over
fourteen and quarter millions of dollars.
~
Every bank with capital of hundred
thousand dollars is required to pay fifty.
five hundred dollars to the syndicate, or re-
tire from business. = f.. .a."t.' =E1'1i
While all bankers do not charge that Sher-
man foresaw this emergency, many OF them
do, and those persons who make the allega.
ton are persons who are apt to know best
There seems to be but little doubt but Sher
man knowingly played into the hands O
the few capitalists who compose the syndi
cate at the sacrifice of the great majority O
the national banks While the syndicat,
and Mr.. Sherman have undoubtedly made /,
good thing of it, it has been and will be !,
heavy tax upon the banks. For this reason
therefore, the GLOBE does not. hesitate t,
say that Mr.. Sherman can never be tn
President of the United States if the in
fuence of the national banks can prevent it
He has simply farged out his patronage t
= few grasping capitalists, without regard K
the interests of the peg pie at large.
