On the Second,

In the discussion as to the pronunciation of
Sebastopol it seems to have escaped notice
that the word is bastard Greek, a survival of
Byzantine days. 1t is a combination of
sebaste, the feminine of sebastos, meaning
August, with the sense of imperial and rolls
city. If, as is reported, the excellent white
car p]ronounces the word with the accent on
the third syllable, one can only say that it
would have better become his imperial mouth
to have placed the accent on the second
syllable. This is in substance what the actor,
Macready, said to King George, the Fourth,
of England, when he condescended to ask
the actor to obleege him with apinch of snuff.
Even kings and emperors make mistakes,
but the world need not follow them into
error.

The Two Bills.
ChiCdUO Tribune.

Now that both parties have presented their
schemes of tariff reduction, the voters are
brought to the forks of the roads. One
party proposes a reduction of S55, 00o, 900,
much of it taken off wool, and the other of
S7O,O 900, 900, two-fifths Of which is to come of
sugar. The means and methods proposed to
reduce the surplus are widely different. The
democratic party is struggling and fighting
to take the road which leads to free trade,
while the republicans are determined to take
the other fork and keep inside the lines of
protection.

Written for The Bee.
October's sheen is on the trees,
His breath is in the air;
And on the misty mountain top,
His purpling glorics are.
Low in the valley rank on rank,
In many a broad platoon,
The rustling corn a murmur makes,
Mid crisper airs than June.
The sumach with its leaves aglow,
Flaunts out beside the rill,g
And blood red banners mark thy step,
On every sloping nil.
Thou art the choicest of them all,
oh, month Of garnering grain;
| love to feel thy cooling breath,
Upon my cheek again.

HomOcidal Tin.

Adam Forepaugh's elephant Tip has killed
another man, making a homicidal record that
is nearing twenty. Ought showmen to be
permitted to retain creatures that are con
stantly killing human beings! Charles
Reade, in one of his short stories, advanced
the theory that all elephants had homicidal
longings, whether they were INDUCED or not.
This seems to be disproved by sufficient evil
dence. But some elephants are notorious
man-killers and they ought to be shot. Tip
is one of them, and his doom should be pro-
nOunced instanter.

Two HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLAR,

w HCNDtED AND FIFTY DOLLAKS
were appropriated by the regents
Of the Nebraska state university
to carry on incubation in the
swine plague in the physiological
and hygienic department OF domestic
animals. 1t would be interesting to
know whether the two hundred and
fifty dollars go for the purchase of the
hogs, the virus or the plague. The
truth of the matter is that the extern
sive experiments which the university
has carried on in the agricultural and
veterinary departments have proven
valueless. They have been an expen-
sive hobby and should be abandoned.

THERE is q necessity for the revision
of the banking laws in nearly every
state of the union. Under the lax sys-
TEN of state control and inspection,
wild cat banking has been encouraged
so that there are nov in existence state
banks rotten to the core and liable to
tumble at the first outset Of financial
stringency. 1t is a sad commentary on
the laws of the state of Illinois, when an
institution, such as the Traders bank Of
Chicago proves to be, was allowed TO do
business for years apparently without
responsibility to anyone. Controlled
by its president alone, without ven the
check OF directors or stockholders on
his management, he had fine opportuni-
ties for misusing the savings Of many a
poor man. The abuse calls loudly for
reform. 1t is the duty of the state to
see to it that the depositories for the
keeping of peoples money are response
BILE for every dollar of deposits.

The WhitechapeI Horrors.

The devourers of romances are asking for
the whereabouts of Robert Louis Stevenson,
whose name is greatly in mems mouths since
the commencement of the Whitechapel hor-
rors. Scientific men seem to incline to the
view that the monster is a man of high at
tainment leading a dual life in the Hyde and
Jekyll way, and the thought has even crossed
som minds that the crime was suggested to
the criminal by Stevenson's CHASTITY tale. In
the meanwhile the author is blissfully UNI
conscious of all the hubbub, for when last
heard from he and his devoted wife were on
their way to the islands of the Pacific. Prob
ably this means Tahiti, for Mrs. Steven
som daughter is living there with her hus-
band, Edward Strong. a Californian artist en-
gagged by King Kalakana to paint ~fresCoes on
the walls of the royal palace.

Banking Responsibilities in Equity.

The American Bankers association
adjourned from the convention at Gin
cinnati without paying any regard to
the necessity of some check to prevent
the possibility of frauds similar to those
perpetrated by Bedcll. This swindler
could not have utilized the check which
he received from a customer for his
bogus mortgages because 1t was made
out to his employers, the firm OF Ship
man, Barlow, Laroque a. Co., but he
gave it to his accomplice, Henry, who
deposited it to his own credit in his own
bank, and then Bedell a short time
afterward obtained from Henry his
check and placed it to his own credit in
his own bank. Could this have been
done without awakening some suspi-
cion? Is not a bank something more
than a mere machine for the exchange
of values? Whilst there can be no
desire to impose upon banks the
duties Of detectives, they ought
to be something more than mere auto
mata. A bank must know pretty thor
oughly the extent of a mans business,
and the bank with which the notary
Henry deposited his funds must have
had strong suspicion that the checks Of
Bcdell's firm were not in the regular
line of his every day transactions, but
were of a suspicious character. The
fraud was devised obviously because
Bedell was certain that the bank would
take NJ cognlzance of anything which
was correct according to the system,
and so long as banks maintain this atti-
tude, there will be other frauds from
time to time based equally upon the
mechanism of banking and transpar-
emily clear from the c~ommon-sense point
of view. Is it not a fair question
whether all banks have not obligations
in equity besides those which rest upon
| the technicalities of the law. The
| State Bank of New York City is con-
testing its liability for the Bedell frauds
purely upon a technical point. This
cannot be considered commendable.

Death of a Journalist.

The suicide of Edward Grey, the Jap
anese scholar, has been wrongly attributed
to pecuniary troubles. 1t was known to his
most intimate friends that for the past twelve
months he has complained of dreadful pains
in his head, the result, as he believed, of
liberation of the brain. 1t seems only too
probable that IN a paroxysm OF agony too
great for endurance he rushed for his revol-
yer and ended his life by a bullet through his
head. He had just returned from Japan,
where he had made extensive purchases for
his Japanese art emporium, and he was en-
gagged in q work on Japanese metallurgy,
part of which had been completed. He had
many friends among American journalists,
having been on the New York Herald for
some years as ali art critic and genera
writer.

place, and secondly the over.crowdlng into
cities. II seems TO US that no one reform
will remedy both Of these things, and that
two changes are necessary. Let us take
first the separation between the maker and
the seller. The one remedy that has been
devised for this is cooperation, and IL has in
variably proved imperative. Wherever 1t
has been tried capital has been on the alert,
and has put down prices to such a point That
the cooperative workers have been COM
PEELED TO give up the contest. Then the
prices went up again. There are illimitable
funds at the back of these great slop shops
whose dens Guido the bolgias Of Dante, aud
in q contest between a firm with no capital
save knowledge and industry and another
controlling the Fortunatus's pause OF un'
bounded credit, the issue is not and cannot
be doubtful. In our opinion the only remedy
is in the Introduction of the guild system
with such notifications as the changed lie
of modern times demand. According to the
guild system the cloaks and dolmans made
in New York city could only be sold in New
York city. 1t is clear that If New York city
insists upon making mems and wcmcn,s fur-
nishing goods for the whole republic, the
women of many cities will be without the
work which belongs to them as u sacred right.
II the shirts worn by men IN Omaha are
made in New York, then the workwomcn of
Omaha will follow their work to New York,
and it is this congregating together in the
metropolis of myriads of women begging for
Christ's sake to employers to give them work
that they may remvin pure and honest, which
enables employers to pay them Just what
they choose. They go into inc market for
labor, and buy the cheapest article they can
get. What this means is being told by Nell
Nelson. II means that a delicate woman is
being treated worse than a brute beast, or u
piece of machinery, that her capabilities Of
work are squeezed out of her by the most
hidcous slavery, ami that she is worn to
death in a few years. This could not be if
Omaha women made cloaks for Omaha
| women and shirts for Omaha men, which is
the true law of protection. For then each
great city like Omaha would be the natural
center for all that work which is done
in the filthy dens Of New York and Chicago
Much Of the work is botched, because the
workers come from everywhere and do not
know how to make the articles properly, or,
if they have the knowledge, are 80 driven by
| their inhuman taskmastcrs that they cannot.
The adoption of the guild system would end
this unnatural state of things, since none
could be members of a guild save those who
were thoroughly qualified. This reform will
be considered by capitalists as IL blow at
their rights, but it is the outcome of a cry
for a change which is not to be withstood.
The workers suffer, the interests of consum-
ers are disregarded, and the time has come
for a new system,
