There seems to be a conflict of ideas in
Cincinnati ON the subject of banking.
We do not refer to the Fidelity catastro-
phe but to later development of what
might be called the individual school of
banking, in which the officers of the
bank stimulate trade and at the same
time provide against a rainy day by
making the deposits of customers per-
form many nimble evolutions In the
market. The gains, if any, go to the
skilful manipulation, the losses are borne
by the owners of the money. The old
and moss grown financial notions which
are crystallized in the banking laws of
the United States and the several States
do not agree with those of the new
school and constant immigration to
Canada has been the result for sew
eral years. But in Cincinnati. the new
school of banking seems to have made
many proselytes and they seem to have
the courage to suffer for their ideas.
Two more Cincinnati bankers gave bonds
yesterday to appear for trial.

Speaking of the new steel steamship
that w. T. Clyde & Co. are building for
their New York, Charleston and Florida
Line-the first steel steamship ever built
in this country for the carrying trade
and expected to be one of the largest and
fastest ships in the coast trade-the New
Orleans fmes-Demoerat quotes the state
ment of the Messrs. Clyde that the fact
that steel ships can now be built il.
America is due entirely to the reduction
In the cost of iron and steel following
the development of the iron interests of
the South and looks forward to the time
when the industry itself will be trans
ferred TO the South. 1t is within the
range of possibility that the generation
now ON the stage of being will see the
beginning of an era of ship building ON
the Gulf Coast of the United States
which will surpass anything hitherto
known. Materials and labor are both
cheaper in the South than in the North
and must remain so.

each other on the very important ques-
ton. There is also a great difference of
opinion among the wool growers, many
favoring the admission of carpet woods
free of duties. The interests of the dealers
are not identical, what suits the Boston
market does not suit the Philadelphian
There are reasons too why the wool
growers should see the matter differently.
Some staples need an admixture of the
foreign wool to give them value,
finding better market in proportion as
the foreign woods are cheaper while
other American fieeces have serious
competition in the foreign product which
the growers would like to exclude alto
gether.
1t is the fashion of politicians and
many writers in discussing this problem
to speak of wool growers, iron workers,
and other classes of industry as entirely
homogeneous, with interests identical
in each class, whereas we see that not
only are the interests of the manufac-
turers of wooden goods and those of the
raisers of sheep not the same, but the
members of these classes do not agree.
Boston and Philadelphia differ; some of
the manufacturers favor, some oppose
the removal of the duty on carpet woods;
the wool growers themselves do not
agree.
Viewing the inhabitants of the United
States merely as consumers their inter
ests are identical. The customs duties
are too high, they amount to tax on
the people for no other purpose but to
keep the prices of certain articles higher
than they otherwise would be, they have
outlived their purpose of fostering GER
tain industries, they must be reduced.

the following:
The last number of the Florida
Farmer has strong kick against the
Legislature for enacting a fence law, i.
G. the farmer must fence his peaceable
land in so the stock raiser can let his
thieving herds run loose. This is going
back to the dark ages with vengeance.
No wonder Florida don't boom. Out
here fences are rarity, curiosity. We
say to the stockownsr: Take care of
your stock. BY this means the small
farmer saves tne expense of all fences
and gets rid of fence row weeds. If
Florida will enact no-fence law she
will have taken big step in advance.
To be sure, Mr.. Citrograph, to be
sure, but do you not understand that
hogs have votes? Those same fences are
the chief reliance of some Florida politi-
clans.

Al FORCE I'M NATIONAL POLITICS

There was hard fighting all along the
line in the Republican campaign for the
Presidency this year. but We think ii
can safely be said that III the contest OF
ideas and popular education which has
Just ended, the New York Tribune fairly
surpassed all competitors on the Repub-
lican side III the originality, force, and
success of its work in behalf of the ma
tional ticket The Tribune did not make
mistake. Every blow it struck made
clearer to men of both parties the abso-
Lutte impregnability of the Republican
position. 1t certainly Set people to
thinking, by its broHdsides on civil SER
vice reform, the tariff, the discrimina-
tons of the Cleveland Administration
against Union soldiers, It's revelation of
the drift of Wage-earneFs away from the
free trade party, its admirable work for
the farmers and for temperance, and
the persis'ency with which it claimed
and proved that England desires the
defeat of Protection in America. Over
800, 0G0 copies of the Tribune'S political
leaflets were circulated during the cam
paign. If to any Republican newspaper
must be awarded the merit of leader
ship, We doubt if there is one which will
contest it with the Tribune The paper
has proved itself anew TO De practical
force in national affairs, as we'll as de-
voted champion of Republican ideas.

We are afraid Mr.. Parry will be disap-

he sticks closer to the facts. The state
ment that the Representatives were
nominated and elected as anti-Sabin

concerned, is fiction. At least one OF
the representatives-eleCt WAS brought
out for that position by this paper,
which certainly refutes the story that
he was nominated as apti-Sabin." J.

lay down the course for various repre-
sentatives to pursue is extremely lmpu-
dent, and We don't believe it will sue

WHILE the absorbing question as to
who shall be selected U. s. Senator from
Minnesota overshadows all other topics,
the legislative members should choose
wisely in naming the next speaker OF
the House of Representatives. Upon
the man who occupies tins responsible
position will deyolve great labor, and to
his ability much will depend in the
way of pushing the business of the ses-
sion. To make good and efficient pre-
siding officer the man selected must
possess executive ability of a high order,
a thorough knowledge of pa rliament-
airy tactics and get himself thoroughly
posted on needed legislation. The APP
preaching session will need to be con-

at is lamentabie fact that the Grand
Army organization, in the late cam
paign, was prostituted To political uses
by oyer-Zealous partisans. The unwar-
ranted abuse of the president for official
acts, the marching in professions with
Grand Army badges and uniforms, were
all against the spirit and law of the asso-
citation. These things cannot be done
with impunity and the non-partisan
character maintained.-NO Rerie,c.

TIE Washington correspondent paws
the following handsome compliment to
Senator Sabin:
Senator Sabin was warmly greeted by
his associates when he appeared on the
floor Of the senate to-day and assailed
with questions as to his chance for re-
election, which he parted with the as
surance that he was not losing sleep over
the matter. A good deal of interest has
been exhibited here In the Minnesota
senatorial contest mainly on Sabin's ac-
count. He is much better known here
and in the East generally than any OF
his opponents, and the desire to see him
returned is general, though Of course
without prejudice TO other candidates
His reputation as an effective working
senator with an exceptional capacity for
getting what he wants for his State, bis
friends and himself, and implies rather
more confidence in his reelection here
than careful reading of the Minnesota
papers would seem to justify. If the
probabilities therein reflected are real
lied there will be good deal of disap-
pointment here.
