WASHINGTON, Dec. 6--The following
appeared In the editorial columns Of the
Washington Post to-day:
Senator Maxey Of Texas is reported as
declaring that the tariff issue should be
pushed for all IL Is worth, aud that Dem
ocrats should formally cut loose from
Randall and his followers, and place MIN
beyond the pale of the party. TIE Post
agree, that the Democratic party has no
one distinctive issue Il the tariff IS not
one, aud II that revenue reform should be
pushed what would 1t do? "Cut loose"
from Mr.. Randall.
How can he DC "placed beyond the pale
of the party?"
Suppose he be "rerudiated and dlaa-
vowed" how will that either harm him
or help the Democratic party? Would
1t strengthen the party to bar Mr.. Ran
dali and those who vote with him out of
the ucu,?

ment ever engaged IN a foreign war;"
said Mr. Herbert, ait would be very glad
to avail itself OF the services OF
the G, ntlemen and would then very quick
| ly ahrogate this law In that event such
an act would be O matter Of expediency;
o do 50 now would be an act OF justice,
which would go far towards healing the
ranking snimosities Of war. | shall push

deavor to have IL passed. 1t is due To

no better on the fSce OF this globe"
| MiILER's NATIONAL BANK SCHEME,
| Special 20 the Gazette.
| WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Congressman
Miller of Texas hopes to have bill
passed at the coming session to enable
! national banks to carry business by de-
posting with the United States treasury
! gold aud silver coin instead of buying
| United States bonds at a high premium
for the purpose of deposit. Now the
banks are allowed on.y to issue paper
currency representing 80 per
cent. of the banks peposit,
aud the bonds are purchased way
above par. az would not compel them to
purchase bonds" he said, 81 would
allow them to deposit gold or silver coin
aud to issue $l20 currency for every
s 90 coin on deposit. | would make an
assessment upon all the banks of per
cent. on their currency, and that assess
| -. a 10, ffNf
fund. II bank should fail
the government could draw
upon that redemption fund for 20 per
cent. of the currency not secured by de-
posit. Thus all the the banks taken to-
gether would be security fol every indi-
vidual bank. AT hrst sight my propo-
sltion might seem a premium upon fail
ure, but there would be such close watch
and examination that sharp practice
would be impossible. II, by enabling
| them to increase their currency and To
get along without investing In bonds at
such high premium as the and "a per
cent bonds carry, they will not go out Of
business.
