Metropolitan Barbarisnl-


 The Broadway stage is relic of barba- rism. It's existence and prosperity show not that we are in an advanced stage of civiliza- tion, but the contrary. That many people travel in it without complaint shows either abjectness of soul or spirit crushed by con- ditions against which it is in vain to rebel. London and Paris are far ahead of us in this respect. The despicable stages which we have here would not be put up with there. From first to last, the Broadway stage is a fraud, an outrage and 8 nuisance. When you hail the conductor he scarcely deigns to stop for you if you are male. He expects you literally to ''catch on," and in order to enable you to do so with the greatest conven- fence to himself, he draws neither to the right nor to the left, but leaves you to follow in his wake to the middle of the street. The 8 me procedure is observed when you make your exit. In both cases your boots are often muddied to the lest degree, and the cireumspection necessary to avoid being run ever or upset is at once a training to the eye and general calisthenic exercise. Both up on your entrance and your exit your hat, es peciaIly If it be a tall one, is crushed against the parallel bars that extend just beneath the ceiling of the stage, the continued motion of which thro #s you against the knees and in steps of the passengers, to say nothing of the treadirg on toes which they pseleEaly endeav or to protect.
 The sprinRless character of the omnibus and the severe jolting which it gives to the human economy during prolonged ride re- mind one of those ingenious shaking ma chimes (sometimes found in ''hygienic homes') ). which, on being firmly seized by the patient, throw every muscle of his bod ! into severe palpitation. Add to this that the omnibus is supposed to accommodate tweI-s people only, while it is often forced 70 hole seventeen or eighteen, seysrA' of whom ar, necessarily ID such 8 position that they car neltaet stan" .urai- ht, sit or lie down, snt '' y De well thought that the sum of dis comfort is complete.

AN INTERPRETING BILL.

AN INTERESTING
 Representative Buckner's bill to amend the national banking laws seems to cover the ground pretty well. It provides that the capital stock of banks may be increased frsm time to time by depositing the full amount of the increase and securing the approval of the comptroller of the currency, provided that before issuing certificate the comp troller of the currency shall be satisfied by the afidavits of the president, cashier, and at least three of the directors. and by Q special examination of the affairs of the bank by one of the national bank examiners, that the increase of the capital is required by business, and is not made for the purpose of paying existing liabilities of the banking as- sociation, or to avoid an assessment on the of the capital stock.
 The section amending the law relative to the misdemeanors ot bank officials provides that every president, cashier, teller, clerk or agent of any national banking association who embezzles, abstracts or wilfully misap- plies any of the moneys, funds or credits of the association, or who, without authority from the directors, issues or puts in circuls. ton any of the notes of the association, or who, without such authority, issues or puts forth any certificate of deposit, draws any order or bill of exchange, makes any accept ance, loans or discounts, assigns on any note, bond, draft, bill of exchange, mortgage, judgment or de- cree, or who, without such author ity, makes any loans or discounts or in any way uses the credit of the association, or who makes any false entry in any book report or statement of the association, with intent in either case to injure or defraud the association or any other company, body polite, corporate, any individual per son, or to deceive any officers of the associa- tion, or any agent appointed to examine the affairs of such association; and every person who, with like intent, aids or abets any officer, clerk, or agent in any violation of this section shall be deemed guilty of mis- demesnor, and shall be imprisoned not less than five years nor moro than ten.
 This is comprehensive. The bill further provides that every banking association shall make to the comptroller of the currency five annual reports which shall give the resour- ces and liabilities at the close of any past day specified by the comptroller. It is further provided that the comptroller shall have power to call for special reports when ever, in his judgment, the same are necessa- ry. Whenever the shareholders, represent in g one fifth of the capital stock, request an examination of the condition of the bank the comptroller shall order such examination to be made.

kansas; so he took up his carpet bag and went there. His judgment was right. He soon found his chance. He went into pol itics with the same recklessness which had characterized his career as warrior. No political villainy was too deep for him to con- ceive, and no scheme too bold to find execu- ton. When everything became ripe he was chosen to the Senate for the full term begin ming in 1871. His opportunities for in- dulging his peculiar gift for wickedness were more limited in Washington than they had been at home. But such as they were, he cultivated them to the utmost. Before his term expired the tide of indignation in his State arose and he was swept out of politics, only to take up his residence in Little Rock in the quarter where Dorsey and other carpet baggers had built fine houses, known in local parlance as '"Thieves' Row." This is his first prominent reappearance.
