Mr.. B. B. Comegys, of Pennsylvania, in
his address before the Bankers Conven-
ton at Saratoga on ''Safe Banking" Thurs
day, gave the following reason for the
disastrous financial occurrences in the
city of New York within the last few
months: "When the national banking
act was enacted. the banks in the Allan
tic cities were most unjustly obliged to
redeem their circulating notes in the city
of New York. Protests against this ar
bitrary feature were unayailing; but, as
a compensation for the wrong, such banks
were allowed to keep one-half of the re-
serve required by law in the banks OF that
city and count it as cash. This opened
door of profit within the law; tempting
bait, indeed, to banks, who could thus
make one-half of their reserve interest
bedripg. This has gone on until the banks
in the city referred to came to hold the
reserve of nearly all the banks in the
country: a fund Of many millions OF dol
lars, most of it presumably on instant
call. 1t needs no discussion to show that
this became a condition of extreme peril;
for every one knows that call-mOney can
not safely be invested in time-paper.
What then! Why, his call-mOney must
be lent on call to bankers, brokers and
stock gamblers Cthe distinction is clear
between these three classes), and on
pledges of such stocks and other stufs as
have an apparent market value"

Satisfied with the Outlook.

The Democratic managers in New l ork
appear to be in the best of humor. The
criticisms which are beginning to appear
in different parts Of the country on the
delay in the appearance of Cleveland's
letter Of acceptance doesn't seem to an
nov them in the least. They do not even
appear to be disturbed by the tone of dis
satisfaction apparent in the New York
World. They talk and act like men who
know what they are doing.
Mr.. Manning says that Buffers can
vass Will be noisy, but will
not hurt the Democrats. At
the Democratic State Committee
rooms it is stated that reliable infOrma-
ton has been obtained that where one
Democrat in the State proposes to vote
for Blaine twenty Republicans are certain
to vote for Cleveland. This condition of
affairs is regarded as encouraging. 1t
certainly ought to be if there is no mistake
about it.
Arrangements for stumping the state
have not vet been made, and they
will hardly be completed before Sept. l..
A short, sharp campaign is thought to be
advisable. There Is a general desire to
know what Tammany will do. The So

have the campaign well in hand and

Can,nairn Scandals.

Very little attention has yet been given
to the real issues Of the campaign. The
press and the party managers have devo-
ted about all their time to matters that
relate wholly to the candidates. The
public has been sickened with scandals
that ought never to have found place
in reputable newspapers. The Republi-
cans were the aggressOrs. They first put
forth a nasty story about Cleveland.
When Cleveland was asked by his friends
what they should do about it he answered,
Tell the truth" They did tell the
truth. An investigation showed that the
story had only a slight foundation, and
that il contained nothing that lessened
the respect Of honorable men LOT
Cleveland. A Democratic paper then
published a story rejecting on Blaine's
private life which placed him in very
unenviable light. Blaine promptly de-
pounced the story as a falsehOOd, and
ordered a libel suit to be begun against
the paper which published it. He will
have a chance to show that the story is
false probably before the election.
1t must be apparent to every one that
while these stories tend to lessen the
respect Of the people for their pOliti-
cal leaders, they do not make votes
for either candidate. The majority
of those who believe them don't care
whether they are true or not, and those
who don't believe them, or are in doubt
about them, will not be influenced by
them in casting their ballots.
1t is perfectly legitimate to attack
Blaine's public record. If he was dis
honest, if he was jobber, if he betrayed
the trust reposed in him while holding a
great public Office, the people ought to
know it. When a man becomes a candi-
date for office he, in effect, says that he is
worthy Of the confidence of the public.
He expects that his public record will
be scrutinized. If he has held office ana
/ been dishonest, it is fair to conclude that
If given another office he will be dishon-
est again. 1t is right, therefore, that
BIaine's record in Congress should be
kept before the public; but there never
was anv good reason for publishing the
story of CIeveland's relations with the
Buffalo widow or the story that Blaine
| was persuaded with a shotgun to marry
/ the lady who is now his wife. In all
probability one Of these men will be
| President after March 4, and it will not
be pleasant to reflect that the occupant Of
| the highest office in the gift Of the greatest
nation Of the world has a nasty scandal
| connected with his name.
Iii to be hoped that the scandal period
Of the campaign is about over. Cleve'
| lands letter of acceptance may be ex
pected in a few days. The issues viii
then be fairly joined, and the campaign
/ will begin in earnest. There are great
/ differences between the two parties, and
there are important problems which the
| people want to hear discussed. 1t il
much better that the people should be
warned against the centralizing tenden-
cies and corrupt practices Of the Republic
can party, and shown the injustice of the
present high protective tariff, than thai
they should be entertained with scandals
about the private lives of their candi
/ dates.

Dana, of the New York Sun, is receiv-
ing almost as much attention from the
press of the country as either of the
Presidential candidates. His refusal to
support Cleveland and his championship
of Butler have subjected him to some pref
ty severe criticisms. The position of the
New York Sun in the campaign does not
appear TO be fully understood. Dana pre-
tends to be a Democrat, but the
truth is, probably, that he is
lust about as much Of a Democrat
as he is a Republican. 1t doesn't make
much difference to him whether Cleveland,
Blaine or Butler is elected. His main
idea is to keep the Sun before the public
and have it talked about. He appears to
be succeeding admirably. If he should
fall into the ranks and support Cleveland
his paper would, to a certain extent, lose
its prominent position.
When was it that the Sun gave a square,
honest support to any candidates 1t
certainly did Hancock more harm than
good. Prior to the meeting of the Demo-
cratic National Convention it devoted its
time chiefly to killing off candidates. 1t
was more amusing than successful,
because the candidate to which it had the
greatest objections was nominated.
1t isn't helping Butler any by sup
porting him, because Butler hasn't
the remOtest chance of being elected.
None knows this better than the Sun. 1t
is not at all improbable that the Sun will
drop Butler when he ceases to be useful
in aiding it to keep up its sensational
style of treating the leading matters of
the day. Butler. if dropped, will have no
right TO complain, and, doubtless, will
not complain.
The fact is, Dana isn't running an or
gan. He is trying to publish newspaper
that will make the stockholders happy.
The stockholders appear to-be remarkably
well satisfied. They certainly ought to
be. 1t would not be surprising if Dana
should support St. John or Subsidy
Pomeroy before the campaign closes. If
the Sun can be boosted by advocating
either of them for a short time it is pretty
certain that it will hoist the prohibition
flag. The Sun is a business institution
and its object is to make money.

There is no doubt that the French are a

There is no doubt that the French are
progressive people. ''One Of the prOpO-
sails submitted for a change in the French
constitution provides for the payment of
voters for the time lost at the polls. As
it is, the elections come on Sunday, and
the people are spared loss; but it is now
urged that the minutes or hours spent in
line should be an actual source of profit.
If compensation were TO be reckoned by
the minute, a new obstacle to promptness
in voting would be furnished" While
this looks like a startling proposition,
this plan may be a great improvement on
the old way of letting the floating vote be
put up to the highest bidder. 1t is hardly
probable, however, that it would limit
bribery or induce a better class of voters
than already exercise the elective fran
chise. AS the people would have to pay
an additional tax to the government to
pay themselves for voting, it is hard to
see where they would be appreciably
benefited.
