HATING ALL THINGS NAT1oyAL.


The action of the House on the Bank bill was
not unexpected One of the chief reasons for
distrusting the Democratic party, and earnestly
urging its defeat has been the conviction that
its ineradicable hostility to the National bank
ing system would make that party. in spite of
itself, and in spite of all the efforts of its more
sensible members, dangerous to the public well
fare. The cause of this hostility is well under
stood. A large proportion OF the active mem
bers of the Democratic party were Jealous in
the cause of rebellion, remember that the sue
cessful organization of the National banks gave
tire enendous power to the Union cause at a
critical period and cherish toward that system
an intense and vindictive hatred, which Is all
the stronger aud more dangerous because many
of them. doubtless do not confess, even to
themselves, its real origin. Many other active
members of that party. being saturated with old
States Rights theories, feel intense hostility to
a National currency, as potent force III form
ing and preserving a National feeling. With
ancient and obsolete notions ruling their minds,
they conceive that the Federal Government has
no business to be concerned III the issuing OF
currency through the agency of any bank or
ganization, and believe that the Sta es alone
should be permitted to organize and control
note-issuing banks. They have close political
relations with the Government in many Demo-
cratic States, and conceive that in the Organiza-
ton of State banks on the old Democratic plan
they would find fat picking for themselves and
their friends.
Against these influences the more rational
Democrats in Congress are poweress. Many
times this has been proved, but never more
clearly than in the recent action on bills pend
ing. 1t must now be recognized as settled
thing that so long as the Democratic party
retains power in either branch OF Congress,
nothing can be done to save the National bank
ing system from destruction. The question
whether it is desirable to preserve that system
need notl now be argued. The conservative
and business interests of the country fully agree
with the Republican party in that matter. have
strongly appreciated the merits of the National
system, and feel that its overthrow would be

FAILING TO CLEAR THE SIDEWALKS
Superintendent Waling. After every fall of snow IN
the city dozens of letters sent tho Mayor or tho
Police Commissioners, asking why the police do con-
pei certain persons to clear the sidewalks In front thee
houses THERE'S surprising ignorance in regard to thaa
matter among all classes Of citizens The fact that the
police cannot compel any person to clean his Sidewalk
after snow storm. All they do is to make report
e the Corporation Attorney and he bring suit and
collect fine. As upward of 10000 violation, Of the
ordinance regarding and ice sidewalks were ro
ported to the Attorney by the police last winter anybody
can see that 1t impossible to enforce the ordinance
would take the attorney ten years to conduct suits foe
the violations which reported after fair sized fan

TWO VOTCES FROH CUBA.

On another pago will be found two valuable
contributions to the literature of the Spanish
treaty. One is from the correspondent, An
American in Cuba" whose trenchant argu-
ments against the convention have attracted
general attention both in Washington and
Havana. The important point which he en-
phasizes in this new letter is that the people of
Cuba are not nearly so anxious to have the
treaty ratified by the United States Senate as
are the officials III Havana and Madrid. The
Government has the alternative of getting
bounty of $50 100000 from the United States,
which will go long way toward meeting the
$32, 900, 900 required by the budget, or of at
tempting to squeeze the entire amount out of
an island that has been impoverished and re-
duccd to bankruptcy. The Cnbans know that
the bounty will not go to them, but to the Gov
ernment which has oppressed them with a
cruelty and "a rapacity without n parallel in
history. Why should they be anxious to have
the island saved for Spain 1t the failure Of
the treaty involve the loss of Cuba. it will be
the Governments loss, not theirs. Indeed, it
may prove TO be their gain.

to consent to no franchise which was not sold 10
the highest bidder and which did not secure 10
the city a proper proportion of the companys 8
earnings. What he says regarding those gwen

attention. 1t is not too late for the city 10 get
the full value of these franchises If proper repre-
sentatlons are made to the commissioners VINO

difference of opinion is as to the mode OF APP

Some of the committee think the present
method should he continued-that is that three
officials in each city should name the Bridge
CommissiOners-while Mr.. Low and others stren-
uously insist that the appointing powers should be
lodged in the two Mayors. Mr.. Low is unques-
tiOnably right In both New-York and Brook

SPEAKING OF CATS.

In the course of the glowing eulogium which
The Sun lately pronounced upon its office cat the
statement appeared that the gifted animal was
soldier as well as a scholar And to the end that
the public should be duly impressed with tho cats
militant qualities it confidently asserted IN tho
same biography that he could whip his weight in
cats
Now in order to discover whether The Suns cat is

soldier and discriminating scholar, we have sug-
gestion TO offer. viii The Sun consent to allow 1t
cat to fight an Unknown cat Marquis of Queens

fdent that if such q match could be made
tho lovers of exciting sport would turn

The Sun would act as second to hIs own office cat;
and perhaps. considering the laudable object of the
battle and on the understanding that hostIllties

We are aware that The Sun has given the public

Bartholdl fund expects every truly patriotic New
Yorker TO do his duty. In view OF these consldera-
tions we look to see The Suns cat place himself IN
the hands OF his friends opposing no objection to the
proposed match. The only thing that makes against
our suggestion is tho possibility that cat

an improbable possibility. Political economists
assure us that the supply Of cats is always equal

The color of the Holstein, black-and-
