New FIVE DOLLAR BILLs.-It will be
necessary to issue new notes now at ali banks
whose charters expire. The "hves' are to
have the vignette of the late President Gar
field, executed in the engraver's best style.
The scene on the backs of these notes repre-
senting the landing of Columbus or in fact
any of the pictures on the back of any of the
national bank notes, will not appear on new
notes, but instead, some finely shaded lathe
work, and in the center, the charter number
of each bank. On tine border of the face of
the note, instead of numbers and letters to
designate the denomination of the note, there
will be the charter number of the bank, so
that if any part of the note is torn the small
pieces can be identified by the number.

Of all the reports issued by government officers none are more interesting than those of MT. Knox, Comptroller of the Currency. They are always clear, instructive and read able. He presents statistics skillfully and his discussion of financial principles is intelligent and consistent.
 In his report just issued Mir. Knox has something to say about the extension of the national bank system which is worth notice. During the year ended with October there were one hundred and seventy one new banks organized. year ago four seventbs of all the national banks in number were in the New England and Middle States; and these latter had about seventy two per cent. of the banking capital. Both in number and in cap ltai the banks In the rest of the country have been gaining upon the East for several years. In the year now reported only one-ffth in humber of the new banks are located in New England and the Middle States. and these latter have less than one fourth of the new capital.
 These are Interesting and important facts and they will be received with satisfaction by the friends of the national bank system. The chlet element of hostility to the national banks In the past has had it's origin in those parts ot the country where the benefits of the system were least known. But, as the Boston Ad0e'ttser points out, ''it is one of the great advantages of this system that the profits of those who engage in it are propor- tlonally larger in the case of small banks than 1n that of large ones. It thus offers induce ments to the small capitalists of remote vil- lages to establish banks and to extend bank ing facilities. It is pleasant to see that this fact is at last making itself known in the South and on the Pacific coast, where during the last year no less than fifty new banks have been organized"

THE TOWN CONVENTION.

The nominations made by the Republican town convention last evening are commenda- ble. Messrs. Feldman, Beecher and Sperry were deservedly complimented by being re nominated for Selectmen. The manner in which they have attended to their duties as Selectmen in the past needs no praise from us. MT. Henry w. Crawford, the fourth nominee, is a well known and popular busi ness man in the eastern part of the city. He has ability and integrity and if elected will make an efficient officer. For Assessors Messrs. Merriman, Gilbert and Robert F. Baldwin were nominated. Messrs Merriman and Gilbert are members of the old Board, and Mir. Baldwin has hitherto proved him. self to be a capable and careful Assessor. The nominee for Town Clerk, MT. Charles k. Spiegel, was for three years Assistant Town Clerk under Mir. Botsford. He is up- right, accurate and skillful, and is thorough ly qualified to fill the office for which he is nominated. Those two tried and faithful public officers and Democrats, Harmanus M Welch and Theodore A. Futile, were very properly given place on the ticket.
