Presentation to Major George S.
Merrill.

One of the most pleasing features in the
national G. A. r. encampment at Denver
was the presentation to Maj. George S. Mer-
rill of Massachusetts,, past commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army Of the Republic, of
an elegant jewelled badge of the order. The
badge had been prepared by order of the ma
tional encampment at Baltimore last year,
and was presented to Maj. Merrill on behalf
of the national encampment by Comrade
Henderson, United States Senator from Ne
braska. Comrade Henderson made an elo-
quent speech of presentation, recalling the
great services rendered to the Grand Army
of the Republic by Maj. Merrill, and the
very high appreciation of him by the entire
body Of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Maj. Merrill replied in very feeling way,
and the enthusiastic manner in which he
Was received by the encampment showed
how warm a place he holds In the hearts Of
all the comrades. The badge is Of solid
gold, about six inches in length, surmounted
by gold eagle. Next below is the rank
bar, bearing four stars, each one of which is
a diamond, pendant TO which is the corps
badge of the 10Th army corps, in the centre
OF which is a large diamond. Hanging from
the rank bar by heavy gold chains is the
badge of the G. A. R., surrounded by a
heavy gold laurel leaf. The badge Is in
scribed on the back as follows: "The Ma
tional Ennampment to Comrade George S.
Merrill. in hearty appreciation of his dis
tinguished services"

New York City Politics.

New York City has new Controller Con-
troller Campbell resigned few days ago on
account of i'll health, being warned by his
physicians that the step was necessary to his
recovery. His illness has been aggravated,
II II was not caused, by the prosecutions to
which he has been subjected since the. dis
covery of the Carroll frauds. This embez-
element occurred before Mr.. Campbell came
into the Office and probably no one questions
his integrity. But he did not train with the
Tammany crowd, and they made his life
wretched by vexations investigations and
malicious charges. Worn out with the
struggle he resigned the Office
II was then incumbent on Mayor Edison
TO appoint new Controller, The Office is
one OF the highest responsibility and re-
CURES for proper discharge of its duties
business talents of the first order. There
were applicants enough. the New York
papers say as many as thirty, whose claims
and qualifications were urged upon the May
or's attention; but most of hem were poll
ticians to whom the Mayor was unwilling TO
give such an office. He sought among the
business men of the city for one who would
assume the duties, but one and all, they
made excuse. To take an office which in
vo'ves constant warfare with John Kelly and
the New York Aldermen is not agreeable to
men she value peace and a good name.
Moreover there is a question about the ten
ure 1t being in dispute when the term ex-
pires. The Mayor was baffled In every di.
fection, until finally, and to the surprise of
every one, he appointed his own private
Secretary, S. 81. Grant, to the place. Mr..
Grant was willing to take the Office, as it is
q much more important one thai he had
any right to expect would ever be open to
him, and he was able to give the required
bond for 100000. What is quite as impor-
tant, the board of Aldermen would confirm
him he never having been sufficiently prom
inent in politics to make himself obnoxious
to Tammany.
But it's sad comment on the condition
ofthings in the metropolis when its most
important financial Office goes a-beggng be-
cause men whose character and capacity
would recommend them are unwilling to en-
counter the malignity of the political ee-
men's which SO largely control affairs. John
Kelly aud his runs shop backing have no re-
spec far good intentions or conspicuous fitlel-
~ ia office unless he spoils car BE- divided
with the hlinmers. Give Kelly power to
diciale Nro shall ill the subordinate places
and he does not much care who fills the
higher ones. His purpose is to hold the
City of New York by the throat while his
henchmen fatten on the salaries of the city
departments. They are Tammany Demo-
cra's for what they can make, and Kelly is
their agent. They will vote as he dictates
for Democrat or Republican provided he
keeps them in clover. Politics in New York
Is trade by which thousands make living.
and the Tammany ieiy is the organizer
of corruption.

Protection for the Banks.

The Boston Advertiser, in view of the
discovery since the failure of Shaw and
Brothers of the amount of paper of that firm
held by the banks, suggests the establish
ment in Boston of a central agency for New
England, which shall ascertain for the nfor-
nation Of the banks that enter into the ar
rangement the amount of paper of any one
firm or individual held by them. 1t is not
contemplated that the amount held by par
ticular banks shall be revealed, but the gross
amount that is held by the associated banks.
The Advertiser argues that such a scheme
is not only possible, but would be of the
greatest utility. Of course it depends upon
the action of the banks whether such an ar
rangement is established; but in view of re-
cent experience it would seem to be a good
time fer the banks to organize for seIf-pro-
lection. If there had been such an arrange
ment in this State alone by which the
amount of the Shaw paper held by the banks
could have been known, much that the
banks now hold never would have been
taken. The Advertiser of the 4th instant
follows up the suggestion previously made
with these timely considerations:
The attempt at collecting for the use of
banks, precise information on the amount
of commercial paper issued by any firm,
both as promissor and endorser, need not
be abandoned ON the ground that such at
tempts have been made and have failed.
In 1880 the mercantile agency of Edward
Russell & Co. made such an attempt, but
we're not encouraged to continue, although
the conservative character of the agency
was recognized, and the want which they
tried to supply was urgent then, as it is now.
Another attempt in the same direction was
made at the clearinghouse, but it did not
work well. The individual banks, then,
must either forego an important element of
protection, or they must overcome preju-
dice, and entrust their information to some
one. A. present they are obliged to trust
examiners; there is, consequently, no final
reason why they should not trust common
agent Of their own choice. The point to be
achieved is that any bank shall have an OPP
portunity to learn with precision how much
of a particular line of paper is held in
known number of banks. And that cannot
be accomplished, save by candor ard coop
