federal govrrnment-is against the interests OF
every state, and of every county, CITY, and town
In which there is bank or in which one is
wanted. The interests OF the people, whether
We regard them individuals needing sufficient
banking facilities to develop their lands and
handle their crops to advantage and carry on
their various concerns or As state needing rev.
enue to pay its officers and the interest on its
public debt, alike demand that the federal law
taxing deposits in bank be repealed To this
end it is plain that men in all ocutlons should
work in unison. In New York one bank alone
cuts Its capital In two reducing it five millions
at one stroke. The total reduction there amounts
to thirty millions of dollars. This affects our
state also for eastern banks re-tiiscount the pa-
per which our banks have discounted for their
customers. Just taking water out of one
side OF pond lowers it on all sides so the re-
l ducng oil banking capital in New York makes
money scarcer and denrer i'll our banks Some
OF our best counties have less than one fifth of
the banking capital they had before the war In
some there are new towns tina need banks the
1 need is felt in many of our counties; there is
/ room ior large banks In several OF our growing
4 cities. In some of the rich grazing and farming
counties OF the southwest the rate is from fifteen
to twenty per cent, owing to Il lack of bankin
4 facilities. A large congressional district in tho
4 southeast, containing fifteen counties has only
| one bank in 1t. In the central southern part III

favors for ourselves; for the taxes, federal state
county and city, will remain our capital
i We are merely asking that tax on the prosper

There has never been but one objection urge,

rently well taken, and that Is easily answered

CELESTI4L CONJUNCTIOYS.

pretty spectacle in the early mornings just now
is the appearance of Jupiter Mars and Saturn with
the waning passing them. like lair queen re-
viewing her celestial forces. The three planets
may be seen in the east a little before
sunrise almost in horizontal line, the
brilliant Jupiter on tue right, the leaden-hued
Saturn on the left, with the ruddy Mars midway
both in position and brightness. Tomorrow morn
ing the moon will be near Jupiter. and on Thursday
and Friday will successively pass Mars and Saturn.
Mars too. is rapidly journeying eastward, and on
the 3Oth inst. oyertakes the moro sluggish Saturn
The conjunction Of these planets will be re-
markably close so that to the naked eye the two
bodies will appear only one. The nearest ap-
proach happens III the afternoon, and will thus be
invisible here; but Mars and Saturn will still be
snch near neghbors on the mornings of the 30th
and 3lst as to afford unusually interesting spec
tacle.
In olden times such striking planetary coniunc-
tion would have been regarded sign of the anger
of the heavenly diyinities, or an omen of coming
war or pestilence. Some 1000 years ago. two
Chinese astronomers, Iii and Ho, were even be-
headed for exposing the Emperor to tho wrath of
the gods by not giving him notice Of approaching
eclipse. And only few months ago from this
same Flowery Kingdom came intelligence al
most equally neutrality-suspicious. at
least in the nineteenth century. There was

HOW TO SUCCEED.

OF course the Democratic leaders will take no
step backward, for they themselves have SAID 1t.
The new bills so their trainers and ndor5ers insist.
embody all the aggressive demands of the partisans
of State Rights and will embarrass, cripple, and hui
initiate the Executive quite as thoroughly and salts
factory the original riders would have DONE The
supremacy OF the late the Nation will be just
as emphatcally asserted, but it will be asserted IN
different language. so that the President will be
estOpped from inteFpOsing any objection III the
shape OF veto Now il is possible Ihat somebody will
be disappointed before this little plan is carried
out according to the advertisement. The vetoes of
Mr.. Hayes were not directed solely or mainly
against the manner in which the Federal authority
was weakened. Ills objections were deeper and
fundamental. He insisted that the National
authority should remain supreme in Ma
tionaI matters. If, then, when the DEM
ocratic plan comes TO be fully unfoded, it
should appear that the new move is only the old
one under different guise, il Will be liable to meet
another veto as prompt and determined as its pre-
decessOrs.
There is plainly but way for the
Congressional majority TO fulfil the promise
of their prOclamations, and that Is to
frame bills which will sweep away the Federal Flee
ton laws and at the same time do 1t so slyly that
the President will not find it out. This would be
dscOuragng task Tor less sangnlne statesmen tnan
the Democratic managers in Washington Recent
experience to prove that Mr. Hayes scrutinzes
with considerable caution documents which are
presented TO him for his signature, and it is prob
able that he will try to instruct himself pretty
thoroughly as to the scope aud intent of the new
bills before he subscrbes his name to them.
Under the circumstances the cheerful con-
fidence of the Democrats in their ability to
catch the President asleep and swindle everybody
else is altogether surprising, especially Since they
have taken pains to publish their intentions, and
have started out with an unusually loud brass band
at their head
