sherman and His Pet Bank.

If Mr.. John Sherman as Secretary
Of the Treasury of the United States
has madeany private contracts with
the Wall.slreet Syndicates, who con-
troll the remainder of the four per
cent. bonds the fact should no longer
be kept secret. Heis a public officer,
and his official acts should be made
public.
III is charged that n New York
bank that has been favored with
Government patronage to the extent
of S2O0,000,000 at a time is behind on
a contract, and has been granted an
extension by Mr.. Sherman.
1t is further charged that this pet
bank is now holding S37,000,000 OF
Government four per cents for specu.
lative purposes-that is, waiting for
a rise in them to unload.
If instead of raising in price those
bonds should decline, say 2 per cent,
either that bank or the Government
would lose s740,000-a sum that
would so far impair the banks CAPT,
tai that it would probably have to
close up business. If such a loss
were to occur to the Government the
people would justly hold Mr.. Sher,
man accountable for it.
The market price Of those bonds
is ! per cent. lower to-day than it
was six weeks ago, while if trade re
wives this fall, as it is claimedit will,
the price of these will still further de,
cline, because the capital that now
seeks investment at per cent. will
command 6 and 8 in other channels
and the market will be glutted still
more with low.interest bonds.
Mr.. Sherman has a contract for the
delivery of this s97, 100000 of bonds
at q premium. 1t is already past
due. Why does he not insist upon
its fulillment?
On the other hand, why does he as.
sert in his speeches on the stump
that he has completed his funding
operations, when he has not?-Ea.

Much of the hawking and splitting

A Ckange.

Since the Democrats have had con.
troll Of Congress. jobbery has to a
considerable extent been banished
from the National Legislature. By
cutting down the subsidies to cor
porations and individuals, and the
withholding Of land grants TO rail
roads, the expenditures Of the Gov
eminent have been reduced about
forty millions . year. Silver has
been partially remonetized, and DUR
nag the next session. will be put on
ran equality with gold. The Pacific
railroads. have been compelled TO
make provisions for the payment Of
stlieir Indebtedness to the Govern
'inenk fsSo Credit. Mobilier transac-
tions have been allowed, and many
THthef abnses which were sanctioned
by the Republican party, have been
reformed, since. the Democrats assum-
pd eontfoIof Congress. Had the Re-
publican party retained their major
tityin this branch of the National
Legislature Everything would have
gone .onFin tile same old channel
The Leaders Of that party. are the
men who i1hugurated the policy Of
extrayagau6e and Corruption which
has well ISgh ieankruptcdr the ma

in kontfnna 10 4 Il abuses which they

fore cry out very Bitterly agdihstythe
reformation which the Democratic
majority have been Instrumental in
bringing about. But the ref0rma-
ton in the Legislative department
cannot be made complete while fraud
and corruption exist in the admins
tration department Of the Govern
ment. Offices of high public trust
appear to be administered for the
exclusive benefit of relatives, friends
and political rings. The only way
to eifectually break up these abuses
is by the substitution of officials who
will have the nerve to expose and re-
form all wrong doing in high places.
In 1876 the people voted to make a
change all round, but their wishes
were disregarded, and they were
cheated out of their votes. A change
in the administration is Just as i'm
portant as reform in Congress, and
just as necessary to complete the
good work Of reformation in the abus-
es that have been created by the sys-
tenn Of reckless extravaganza adopted
by Republican administrations. A
great many people have grown sus.
picious of the desperate tenacity
with which the Republicans cling to
office, and are beginning to see the
necessity of change. Voters are
becoming convinced that in order to
preserve the Union it is not absolute.
