The Chicago Tribune, a Republi-
can paper, has the following para
graph:
The national banks who have re-
tired their circulation and brought
about thereby the terrible stringen-
cy in the New York money market
sustain themselves on the ground
that they. acted in se,f defense
against the Carlisle amendment to
the funding bill. This amendment
would have prevented them from re-
firing all their circulation practical
Ily, as it would in many cases have
been impossible to collect all their
notes. These notes, they say, are a
debt due the public, and they do not
propose to be put into a position
where they cannot pay their debts.
Theoretically this is true, but when
we come to inquire, practically,
what actual damage the banks would
have suffered, we find it to be abso-
lntely Insignificant by the side Of
The havoc they have done by their
contraction. The danger to the
banks was mainly ideal, and their
course hes been romantic not prac
teal. They have forced in two OF
three, days n contraction of the cur
rency greater than Secretary McCul
loch dared to carry out in many
months when the currency was far
more inflated than now. The banks
would lose a few thousands of dol
lars by their inability to retire their
circulation as freely as now but they
will lose hundreds of times more by
a general financial disaster.

Inauguration day a legal holiday.
This measure will please those who
would like to see our Presidents in

ter the fashion of aroyaIor imperial

are renewed and increased efforts to
surround with extravagant pomp
and parade what ought to be 4 very
simple ceremony. Thomas Jefferson

Magistrate Of d democratic republic

The toady press correspondents
who were at President GAREIELD's
coat tail the morning of'his depar-
ture for Washington city, inform the
country that he "arose that morning
as usual!' Wonderful, wasn't it?
1t isa pity he didn't "arose" unusu-
ally with a club in his hand, and
drive away, a dozen or two of the
disgusting and sycophautic 'slush'
writer's who locked around his home
to dog him to Washington to tell
how he got up, laid down, eat, spit,
&C., on the way there. Bah! What

The. butter ard cheese bill' has
passed the House. 1t is rather a
sweeping and.silly measure, so much
so that if made a law would be the
deadcst kind of a one. 1t provides
that whoever makes butter or cheese
that is not the genuine article, shall
stamp the true name thereof upon it
in letters that all men may read.
That is to say, oleomargarine may
be sold, but it must be sold as oleo-
margarine and not as butter. That
lis well enough, but when the bill
goes on to say that whoever puts
alleged butter before his guests shall
FIRST acquafnt them in regard to the
component parts thereof, or incur a
fine of from $40 to $500 and go to
Jail, it is coming it rather too strong.

living a short distance from Cincin-
natl was murdered by ayoung man
who was the sutton of his daughter.
The mnrderer, ferdinand Seitz, was
tried, found.guilty of murder in the
seconddegree and sentenced for life.
He has new been in.the penitentia-
ry thirty three years, never having
been outside the walls of the prison.
On n occasion he saw a train of
cars, being the only one he ever saw,
as he was committed before the rail
road era. One of the jurors who
found him guilty has circulated a
petition asking for his pardon, and
it is now in the hands of Governor
Foster. Should he be pardoned, the
manners and customs of the present
day will be as new to him Is the
faces he will encounter.
Temperance men wishing to found
settlements where no liquor can be
sold will be interested on the decis-
ion of the United States Supreme
Court in the ease of the Colorado
Springs settlement. Building lots
were there sold with the condition
annexed that Intoxicating liquors
should never be vended or manufac-
tured on them,. and this condition
having been violated by a grantee,
who attempted to open a barroom,
suit was brought to eject him. His
defense was that a man has the right
to do anything not prohibited by law
on his own property; but the Su.
tpreme Court has decided against
him, and has adjudged his title for
feited by his breach of the condition
of his grant.

We believe with the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, that the State of Ohio
a be carried by the Democrats
next fall upon state issues. The
Republican party of the state has
m~isbehaved to an extent that has
brought it under condemnation
The Psople are dissatisfied with the
way the Republican party has man
aged the affairs ofthe state, and win
defeat it at the polls upon its record.
1t is totally unnecessary TO drag ma
tional issues into the campaign since
it is not concerned in any way with
affairs ont of the state. The offices
to be filed are state offices exclu-
sively, and will not be called upon
to exercise any functions that in any
way touch upon national politics.
No doubt there are questions OF
great moment that concern the peo,
pie Of the country generally, and in
good time it will be we'll enough to
make political issues of them. But
the question that interests the PEG,
pie of Ohio at this time is how to
get rid. of Republican m%isgovern
ment in the state. By and by II
may be all very we'll to discuss Che
tariff question and all that sort Of
thing, but next summer the thing te
be done is to, bounce the Republican
party in Ohio. The gentlemen who
re-preparing programmes at Wash
'ington, will do well to keep this fact
in mind.
