OUR NATIONAL BANKS.
What They Do for the Poor MAJ

What They Do for the Poor Man.
In speech at Memphis, Tenn,
Congressman Moore said:
I do not believe that it is possible
for wiser system of banking to be
invented than that which was estab,'
hshed by the Republican party
twenty wears ago, and whose benign
and useful existence is rendered
possible for twenty years longer by
Republican votes IL the present
Congress as against the bitterest and
most determined Democratic oppo-
sition. Why any reasonable man
can advocate, as the bourbons do,
the abolition of the present national
banking system, and the substitution
OF wildcat State bank system in
its stead, is one of those inscrutable
problems that no practicable, sensi%
BILE business man can possible di-
vine. The former system combines
IN it all that is safe, convenient, and
desirable, while the latter contem-
plates all that is dangerous, undandy,
troublesome, and disastrous. Under
our present wise system a man may
travel to any portion of the
civilized world and his way
without annoyance in our ma
tional bank bills, usually de-
nominated greenbacks. Under the
wildcat State bank system he
cannot pass from the capital to dis
tant portion of even his own State
without submitting to both the shaw
ing of his bills aud the annoying,
costly, and uncertain Inconvenience
of dangerous counterfeits. Now
counterfeits are rearly heard of.
Under the old Democratic rule the
counterfeit detector' was an inevita-
bic and absolute necessity. Then
even the shrewdest and most skillful
experts could hardly tell the precise
value of their bills. Now no man
thinks of even looking at the name
OF the bank, because he knows that
it is Republican money, that the
faith OF our good government is
pledged for its security, and that
it is, therefore, not subject to
the faint of even Democratic sus-
picion. He can, at will, inters
change it for either gold or silver at
par, and when at night the poor la
borer lays him down to sleep,
he dreams the dream of happiness,
because he is positively certain that

THE TRUTH OF 1T.
A Plain Statement of the Case In the
Late Elections.
Boston journal

Boston Journal
The reaction against the Republic
cans in the late elections is no
greater, if, indeed, it is SO great as
that which took place in 1874. In
that year the Republicans from hav-
ing majority of one hundred in the
House went into minority by nearly
that figure. In twenty-five States,
covering northern and central por-
tons of the Union, with the Pacific
States; the Republicans have elected
112 members of the House to ia
Democrats. In 1874 these same
States elected 80 Republicans and
la Democrats and others who acted
with them. In the new apportion
ment these States have gated
twenty members over the number
they had in 1874, and that gain the
Republicans have secured, while the
opposition has simply held its own.
Ii the results IN States which have
usually been Republican in Presi~
Dental elections are compared one
by one with the results .in 1874, it
will be found that with the exception
of New York, the Republicans stand
as well as in 1874 In the spring of
1874 the Republicans were beaten in
New Hampshire by 1,460 votes; at
the late election the Republican ma
iority in that State on al candidates
except Governor was about 5000.
In Connecticut the Democratic ma
jority is only one third that of 1874,
and is due to the fact that twice as
many Republicans as Democrats
neglected and refused to vote. In
New York, despite the general Re-
publican decentralization, the Dem
ocratic majority for the candi :
date, which was the fairest test
that of Judge Of the Court of Ap-
peals-was only about 10000 against
Mr.. Tilden's $4,000 in 1874. There
was no general election in New Jer-
sey, but the aggregate vote for rep
resentatives show Democratic plu-
rality Of 5000. In 1874 the Demo
cratic majority was $4,000. The
Democratic majority of $4,000 in
Maryland in 1874 was reduced tc
about 5000 this year. In Pennsylva>
MIA, despite the fact that thousands
of Republicans voted for Mr.. Patti
son to defeat Cameronism, the joint
vote Of the Republican candidate ex'
ceeds that of the Democratic candi-
date, while in 1874 the Democratic
ticket was elected by $500 majority
In Welt Virginia the Democratic mas
| jority in 1874 was $500 At the
late election this was reduced
to about 1000. In 1874 tht
Democrats carried Ohio by
1900, in 1877 by 22,50O. this veal
by $4,000 In 1876 and 1878 the Re
publicans carried the State Illir OIL
was Democratic in 1874 by 10000
this year it is Republican. Simila.
comparisons with the votes of othe
States in 1874 and 1882 would sho1
that Republican defeats and losse
were less heavy and decisive at tn
last election than they were in 1874
We are not undertaking to prov
that the Republicans have not met
serious repulse, but we think tina
these comparisons show that the de
feat was not SO general or marke,
this year that any one can assum
that the Republicans, with a goo,
ticket, and by wise action on til
part of Congress and general de
termination to be worthy of conf
dence, cannot carry the Presidents
election of 1884.

An Earthquake Warning.

N. Lemarchand, French writer,
sends to the press circular warning
the public in all earthquake dis
tricts of probable perturbations of
the earth's crust on or about June |,
1882. These seismic troubles. he
anticipates, will be due from cosmic
causes, and not from the unaided
forces of upheavel in the terrestrial
depths. His forecast Of the date
is based on an alleged observed
cycle, measured by a number OF
lunations, at the completion of
which great COMMISSIONS OF the earth
surface occur, as in the year 10 OF
our epoch, marked by great erup-
ton of Vesuvius, and like unex
pected Disturbances over different
parts of the globe. Ia confirmation
of tue calculation by which he CON
cludes there will be unusual seismic
commotion in June next, he cites a
forewarning, made upon the same
cyclical date, of the of Vesuvius and
Etna 10 1873 and 1879.

There are few persons who do not like
to be informed of scandals about other
people. They shudder ut them, of course
and are properly indignant, but never
.neless they think it hard luck if anything
derogatory to their acquaintances circu-
latcS without their hearing of it, So, in
misunderstanding horse car yesterday
morning, when a sad-faced man asked
his companion if he had heard of the
sad fall of Deacon Boxer a pillar in the
Rev. DIR. Shouter's congregation, all the
rest of the passengers pricked up their
ears, and listened intently for details.
Yes said the sad man, when his
neighbor protested ignorance of the
event, 81 lamentable affair indeed. An
other good man surprised and brought
low; the light of another home put out
beyond repair" ''But how did it hap
pen?' 'interposed total stranger at the
other end of the can, who had listened
with ill-disguised impotence to these
moral reflections. "Please come to tho
facts" 80. as to that returned the
sad man, ''he slipped on the ice on Ire
mont Street last evening, and fell with
such force on student-lamp he was
carrying home that the man TO whom
he took it for repairs said twonld be
worth at least twice the cost Of q new

it is a singular fact that in the converse
