RANKS AND BONDs.

The condition and prospects of ne-
tioual banks is becoming q matter OF
interest and Of some anxiety. From
their inception they have been Sc
cured by depositing national bonds as
required by law. Already ae the gov
erGment calls in its bonds and cancels
them, the banks are finding it difficult
to obtain the necessary bonds on
terms not exposing them TO lose. The
8 per cents, their principal resource,
will also be retired, and other bonds
NUT DO obtained or the charters sur
rendered and the banks become State
banks, But why not buy 4 or a per
cent bondsP FIRST, because there is
heavy premium upon them, and
second, because the approaching eX-
t'nclion of government bonds will
compel Congress to provide some
other mode than these bonds Of insur
ing security from the national banks
when bonds purchased at premium
will be no longer available. The
uncertainty of what new means
of security from the banks
Congress may select, and what changes
it may make in the public manage
ment OF the national banks, make
those Institutions desire to retain their
per cent. bonds, even without inter-
est, rather than 20 into an outlay for
now bonds that may soon be available
for the purpose required. The New
York Indicator points out ;hat when
the bonds arrived at maturity are all
retired, the government will have to
90 into the open market to buy up inn
mature bonds. 1t will then be to the
interest of government that the bonds
should he had at rs low a rats as posi-
BILE. But il the national banks are
compelled to purchase, the price will
be kept up, aud the government will
be met in the market by rivals OF its
own making. The financial questions
coming before Congress are OF tre-
mendous importance, and as yet no
/ idea exists of what its action will be,
or how II will provide satisfactory Sc.
ourity for the banks when no more ma
tlonaI bonds are to be had.

nULsARIA,s HELPLEssNEss

The noble struggle the Bulgarian
people are making for independence
is aroasing the worlds admiration.
Bulgaria is a small country, and unless
II is supported what can 1t do
effectually against an overgrown des-
potism like that OF Russia' The
powers" look on, not without sym.
pathy, but they offer no help. Aus
tria has shown some sign of being
awake to the situation, but the ir-
Auences of Germany keeps 1t back
from giving practical aid. Russia is
year by year attaining warlike
power that will in time prove danger
GUS to the European countries. Slowly
but surely, the huge serpent is gather
ing up its coils, and the time is coming
when no European government will
be safe from It's deadly spring. Yeti
Inconsistencies or reckleEsness,
Russia is allowed to pursue its
schemes unchecked. Such a
policy cannot but bring ca
lamitous results to Europe. 80,
unsupported and alone, Bulga-
ria has, hopelessly and despsiringly,
to submit to The riveting about it of
such chains as years ago aroused the
vain shrleks and protests Of unhappy
Poland. The ssrpentine policy Of
Russia in Bulgaria is seen in the kind
Of hypocrisy she adopted. No nation
troubles Bulgaria but Russia, and
none but Russia has iuteriered with
it's internal affairs, kidnapped its
Prince or bullied its pc pie. Yet
Russia assures the Bulgarians that the
sole object Of its inference is the safety
and welfare of the province and its
deliverance from danger and distub
ance. Could satan himself veil bis
heudishness under a more profound
refuge OF lies, treachery and deceit
than Russia is now displaying in
Bulgaria?

MEMPHIS APPEAL.
DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
PUSH ON THE CoLUmN.

The grand reception OF Bob Tsylo
on Tuesday, the numbers that turned
out to hear his speech on the bluff,
the enthusiasm Of the Democrats con
trasliug 30 conspicuously with the
apathy Of the Republicans, showed
that the tidal wave which swept over
Shelby county and this Congressional
district on the 9th Of August instead
Of subsdng was gaining in volume.
II The election could be held today,
the Democrats would sweep Shelby
county and the Congressional district.
But II is just four weeks until the day
of the election, and it remains TO be
seen Whether this enthusiasm will
flicker ont or grow in intensity. 1t
must not be permitted to languish.
Democrats, work and work uuceas-
iugly; keep up the fires on the hills
and in the valleys. Organize a PheIan
club in the city, and let it rally the
Democrats OF the city and tend mis-
sionsries into every civil district. The
Democratic candidates for the Legis'a-
ture must go into the byways and the
highways. Much good was accom-
plished in the last canvass by resort
to the old method OF still hunting, and
our candidates for the Legislature
should penetrate every nook and cor
ner Of the county. Democrats, we
must take no step backward; on the
contrary, let US advance our standard.
Our glorious victory two months agc
was the result Of vigorous and intelli
gent labor, organization and hard
work. Let US see that cur organiEa
ton is preserved, and let us again
work with a zeal that will overwheln
the enemy BY its irresistible momen
tum. To achieve signal victory W.
must push on the Democratic column
now in line eager for the fray.

PURE CHRISTIANITY.
Argument In Favor of Ignoring
Hell In Missionary work.

Dies MONIES, a., October g.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the large au
ditorium Of the Grand Opera House
was filed for the opening OF the sec
ond days proceedings of the Ameri-
can Board of Missions Of the Conere-
gational Church. The Rev. Judson
Smith, DID, of Boston, one of the
foreign sPcTetariee, read an address On
the subject OF Constant Factors
in the Missionary Problem" The
address stated that, while it might
seem that all of the unevangelized
nations need different things at the
hands of the Christian world, yet
they had one common need of "a
tonic of great faith, the inspiration
of new moral lille, the illumination
aud breadth and uplifting power
which the knowlege OF God in Jesus
Christ hiss always brought to men and
to nations" In conclusion he said
IF, then, we mean to succeed in our
missionary work, il we would touch
the needs OF lost world aud
work where our efforts, under God,
will tell the most, we shall make it
our leading aim, always and everv-
where, t. bring the power Of Chrst's
words and name, unmodified by
human speculstions, unshorn of a sin
gle truth, home to the souls Of sinful
men rs the only hope of salvation;
like Paul we shal determine to know
nothing among thess nations save
Jesus Christ and him crucifed; we
shall Judge the wisdom OF all plans by
their adaptation to this end; We shall
measure success by its relation by
this result.

LAND HUNG Err.

There is a sort OF menta! disease
well known among farmers as "iand
hunger" 1t is an inordinate and un-
reasoning desire to possess land, not
for the profit, or at least the imme-
date profit it will bring, but for ihe
mere sake Of no ding it. The posses
sion OF laad leads to desire to extend
cultivation over il, aud in that way
comes negligence Of the best methods
Of cultivation for the sake Of covering
mary acres with crops, aud crops 30
raised are commonly Improbable
Capital is reduced by the payment for
estate that brings no profit. There is
want OF money to purchase the best
agricultural implements and working
stock, and to employ ample labor and
efficient supervision. EffO I is scat
tered over too much space and no
where Is the cultivation done a! its
best Under such circumstances there
is for the proprietor life Of debt and
anxiety, and often of ultimate bank
ruptCy. The Nashville Lambermdn
instances case that wildly illustrates
the evils following the indulgence Of
land hunger. A successful farmer
himself gives the particulars. He had
fifty acres nearly paid for, well cult
waited aud paying satisfactorily. A
chance OF buying cheaply an sdjoin-
ing farm ltd him to go further into
debt to secure it. The new land pro.
duced well, but some help and more
implements and stock were required,
entailiDg still more debt. This and in
terest eat up all profit. Ready money
was scarce, the old farm, owing to diff
ficulties and divided duties, yielded
less than before. Want of money in
hand caused the loss OF chances to buy
we'll and sell quickly as bad been done
flrmerly. Tires years demonstrated
that TOO muchland me ant too much care
and too little profit, The new farm was
sold at small advance on the pur'
chase price, the farmer got out OF debt
and went industriously to work upon
his original fifty acres, and with 8
mind eassd of perpetual anxiety he
made more money from the small
farm than he could clear from both
together. The dry goods dealer and
the grocer never buy unproductive
stock for the cake of having a large
stock in possession, and the farmer
acts unwisely who clipples himself
by acquiring more land than, in 8
business way, will pay fair profits
Many OF our Southern farmers woulC
be prosperous, where embarrassment
is terpetually robbing them of peace
of mind, il they would sell the lane
they do not require in business way
and, eased OF debt, with capital to cult
vate a sufficiency OF land, they woult
prosper and enjoy life.
