To prevent the further organization Of banks
is to put in jeopardy the whole system by tax
ing from il that feature that makesit as il now
is, banking system free. upon the same
terms, to all who wish to engage in it. Even
the existing banks will be in danger of being
driven from business by the additional disad-
vantages to which they viii be subjected by
this bill.
In short, cannot but regard the fifth sec
ton Of the bill as a step in the direction of
the destruction of the National Banking sys-
tenn Of our country, which, after long Pc
riod of business depression, has just entered
upon career of unexampied prosperity.
The withdrawal Of currency from circulation
by the National Banks, and the enforced wind
ing up of the banks in consequence, would
inevitably bring serious embarrass-
ments and disaster to the business of the
country. Banks of issue are essential instru-
nents of modern commerce. If the present
efficient and admirable system of banking is
broken down, it will inevitably be followed by
a recurrence to other and inferior methods Of
banking. Any measure looking to SUCH
result will be disturbing element In our
financial system. 1t will destroy confidence
and surely check the growing prosperity OF
the country. -srs -4s...ys
Believing that the measure for refunding
the National debt is not necessarily connected
with the National Banking law. and that any
Refunding act will defeat ITS own object if it

OleOmargarine Bills Vetoed,

Two bills for the regulation of the sale of oleomargarine have engaged the attention of the New Yolk Legis- lature largely the present winter. Both were intended to make the sale of the article odious. One was introduced by Mir. Sheldon, and especially required the advertisement of the use of oleo- margarine in boarding houses, restau- rants and hotels. This bill was vetoed last week. MT. Fenner, of Chautau- qua County, was the author of the other bill. It forbade the coloring of oleo- margarine. The intent of the bill was obvious, for the natural color of oleo- margarine is white. It is only after the addition of coloring matter that it as- sumes the desired golden hue. The Governor has proved implacable with this bill also, vetolng it. The farmers of the Assembly were palpably dis tressed by the veto message, hoping they had secured an advantage of their enemy. The Governor regards this bill as more objectionable than the one already vetoed. It also, he says, in fringes the patent laws of the United States, and is therefore unconstitu- tional
 A motion to pass the bill over the veto was lost by vote of AS to 49, the requi- site two thirds not favoring it's passage.

Afraid of Being Cheated.

Tho uneducated mind does not see thu ough those forms by which business is transacted. There is 8 well-known story of two honest Dutch neighbors. One of them, Hans, borrowed $2O from the other, Jacob.
 "Musn't give you writing for dis, Jacob ?" said honest Hans, as he pock- eted the money.
 "Yah, dat is what they do, I dinks. !"
 Hans scrawled something, which meant that he had borrowed $2O from Jacob, and would repay him as soon as he could. He handed it to Jacob.
 "No, I don't Keep this," answered Jacob, scratching his head, as if in doubt. "You must keep it so dat you'll know you owe me de money" A similar perplexity as to written promise to pay once sent an honest but ignorant Hoosier out of court room in hot haste, lest he should be cheated. In the early days of Indiana, the lawyers used to follow the courts in the different counties. "Riding the circuit" it was called, and demanded horses that could struggle through mud roads and swim over deep, rapid streams.
 During court session lawyer bar gained for pony for $25, on credit ol SIX months. The next day the owner brought the pony, but required security for the payment of the price. The law. yer drew note at the top of page ot fooIscap, and signed it. His brother lawy CTS, some twenty in number, signed it, and then the court-three judges wrote down their names.
 The lawyer presented the thoroughly signed note to the man, and was sur prised to hear him say, "Do you think I am fool, to let you get the court anc all the lawyers on your side? I see you mean to cheat me out of my pony"
 Up jumped the alarmed man, ran out of court, mounted the pony, and gal loped for home as fast as the horse could carry him.

merely at their call, which will not be content merely with the regular party trademark, but which for the sake of the cause of it's party, and despite Con- gress and conventions, will advocate only worthy measures, and support only fitting candidates.
 Thus, and thus alone, can the press of any color save its own party from decay, by forcing leaders to depend for support, not upon discipline, not upon party spirit and party patronage, but upon the essential excellence of the party policy and the character of the party candidates. When leaders know that their own party press, which goes into every house and reasons with every voter, will ask first of all whether the candidate nominated ought to have been nominated, and whether the policy pro- posed is @ sound policy, and whether those who propose to lead are worthy and honorable and faithful leaders, the first care of those leaders will be to pro- vide body of sound doctrine, and to present candidates like the old chevalier of France, without fear and without 1eproach.
 AN INDEPENDENT PRESS.
 Gentlemen, if the name of the royal Governor Crosby be remembered for his abortive attempt to destroy the freedom of the New York press, shall not that of Governor John Jay be reverently cher ished for furnishing to that press the principle of its independent power? No paper and no man who fears to be in the minority has the power to create a majority. It is the unquailing advocacy of it's own principles, when 1t stands alone, and honorable support of party when party proclaims them; it is scorn of falsehood, and baseness and bribery in sustaining them; it is manly justice to opponents, and unsparing exposure of offenders and offences which. di>grac- ing its party, tend to weaken and destroy it.; it is austere allegiance to high ideals of public virtue and perfect reliance up- on the ultimate justice of the people it is all this which ms.hes an independ- ent press the greatest power ln ChrlSten- dom.
 Gentlemen, if I have spoken but simple and obvious truths, if your hearts respond to mine, and your judgment rati6es my words, if you agree with me that the independence of the press IS it's true power, and it's proper function is to lead parties and leaders. not to fol low them, then as we stand in this mid summer glory of Central New York, as we recall the heroes and tell the inspir- ing story of our State, shall we not re- new our loyalty to the great advocate who gave our press it's freedom, and as children and sons of liberty who over threw the statue of the king, resolve that the sovereign power which shall carry New York still higher and further upon her glorious way shall be the i'm per1al independence of the press of the Empire State

 In @ speech at Burton-on-T Trent on Tuesday, Lord Carnarvon charged the Government with being responsible for the civil war in Ireland. MT. Chamber lain, in a speech at Birmingham, said MT. Parnell would be satifed with nothing short of repeal of the union. He be- lieves the Land bill is the maximum measure of relief any English Parlia- ment will grant to Ireland.
 -Cablegrams from Ireland report that large force of military was sent from Cork to Skibbereen. The railroad had been tempered with, but this was discovered in time to prevent an acci- dent. The mob was 5000 strong at Skibbereen. An attack was made on the branch of the Munster bank and the military charged the rioters. There was no loss of life. The priests, fifty in number, urged the people to disperse. The general in command of the Cork district has asked for more troops. It is said that the tenants on the large es- tates in that county have combined to strike against rents. There are rumors of Fenian plot to blow up the Govern ment powder mills at Ballincollig, four miles from Cork.
 Reports from Ireland are that West Cork is in state of anarchy, and large drafts of constabulary are being dis patched there. The police throughout the country are greatly dissatisfied Eleven of them have been killed and 400 disabled since the rioting began. Large numbers of them are resigning, while others remain on simply to become en- titled to the retiring allowance.

Industrial Secrets.

A century ago what a man discovered in the arts he concealed. Workmen were put upon an oath never to reveal the process used by their employers. Doors were kept closed, artisans going out were searched, visitors were rigor- ously excluded from admission, and false operations blinded the workmen themselves. The mysteries of every craft were hedged in by thick-set fences of empirical pretentions and judicial af frmation. The royal manufactories of porcelain, for example, were carried on in Europe with spirit of jealous exclu- siveness. His Majesty of Saxony was especially circumspect. Not content with the oath of secrecy imposed upon his workpeople, he would not abate his kingly suspicion in favor of brother monarch. Neither king nor kings dele gate could enter the tabooed walls of Meissen.
 What is enormously called the Dres- den porcelain-thate exquisite pottery of which the world has never seen it's like was produced for two hundred years by a process so secret that neither the bribery of princes nor the garrulity of the operators revealed it. Other dis coveries have been less successfully guarded, fortunately for the world. The manufacture of tinware in England originated in stolen secret. Few read CTS need be informed that tinware is simply thin iron plated with tin by being dipped into the molten metal. In theory it is an easy matter to clean the surface of iron, dip it into bath of boil ing tin, and remove it enveloped with a silvery metal to place of cooling. In practice, however, the process is one of the most difficult in the arts. It was discovered in Holland and guarded from publicity with the utmost vigilance for more than half @ century. England tried in vain to discover the secret, un- til James Sherman, Cornish miner, insinuated himself master of the secret, and brought it home. The secret of manufacturing cast-steel was also stealthily obtained, and is now within the reach of all artisans.

Breaking the Prairie.

By breaking" is meant the first blowing of the virgin prairie, the effect of which is to turn the sod and expose the roots to the sun, thereby killing them. When this sod has routed, the soil is ready to produce it's first crop of grain. The best month for "break- ing" in Kansas is July. Then the grass and weeds are we'll started and their seeds have not yet formed, con- sequently when the sod is turned there are no germs which in the following spring can shoot up and trouble the farmer with another crop of weeds and grasses. Breaking" is done at all seasons of the year, but never so suc- cessfully as during the month named.
 When the natural sod of the prairie has thoroughly rotted, the ground is ready to receive its first seed. If the breaking" is done in July, the spring Jollowing will be the proper time to "put il" the crop. Corn is with us the crop which most engages our time and attention; supplying as it does sus- tenance for the family as we'll as for the herd, upon it's successful cultivation and careful storing depends not only the comfort of the stockman, but his very existence. Failure of the corn crop is to the farmer what bankruptcy is to the merchant. Corn supplies the power by which all the operations of the farm are prosecuted, being the prin- cipal food for the horses and mules, and by exchange with the store keeper, fur nishes the family with many conve- niencts necessary for comfort. t.-Boston Bulletin.

Policemen's Hats, Past and Present.

When the late Napoleon III. was poor clerk living in London he was once called upon to serve as 8 special police man. The occasion was one on which Royalty was to show itself ill the streets of the British metropolis, and all fash ionable London was in a ferment of preparation. The police arrangements were perfection. Several hundred specials were sworn in, including aquiet, self-possessed young fellow, stoutly built, and wearing a heavy mustache and chin whiskers, who gave his name as "Louis Napoleon, clerk. , He grasped his baton, pinned on his shield, and took his place in keeping the line open for the Royal cortege. Ten years afterw. rd he was Emperor of the French, and, with his brilliant and accomplished Empress, Eugenie, set the fashionable styles for all Europe. He frequently mentioned to friends the incident on London Bridge, where he wore Q police man S helmet and yielded the truncheon of the Brit sh bobby" These helmets were ugly, clumsy affairs compared with the natty. stylish and well ventilated felt helmet hats which Knox, the famous natter, has inst undertaken. under q special contract. to supply to the entire police force of New York.-New York Star, June 2,
