The New York National Banks, that were
IN such hurry To deposit greenbacks in the
national treasury and take up their bonds,
found themselves rather picked up when,
alter the funding bill was defeated, they con.
cluded they didn't want to return their circu.
lation or to take up their bonds as much rs
they did. Secretary Window decides that the
banks cannot withdraw their legal tenders on
redeposit of their bonds and continue their
circulation as 1t was before they made the at.
tempt to reduce the same; but that the green
backs must remain and their old circulation
be cancelled; but they can make new deposi,
Of bonds and get new circulation if they wish

While England and France and

bring freiGhts to our ports and 70
carry freights from our ports in
foreign built ships, it is not easy
to see why the laws Of the United
States shOuld select citizens Of the

AT one time it seemed quite pro-
bable that the legislature might
submit the prohibitory question to
the people at the coming spring
election, but at present the indi-
cations are quite the contrary. 1t
looks as if the majority of the
liquor dealers were more in favor
of prohibition than license, as when
the prohibitory clause was in force
in this State in was not in force,
for the simple fact that it was a
dead letter. We believe a good
strong license law is worth more
than all the prohibitory laws in
the country. The Toledo Blade
says it all in q few words:
"Having demonstrated beyond
any doubt the hopelessness of pro-
hibition, let us act the part Of SEN
sible men and try the next best
thing judicious license system.
We can not eradicate. let us miti-
gate. We can not uproot the evil ;
but we can greatly circumscribe
its effects"
