been promptly paid. Senator Farwe IL
advocated the rebuilding of the national
debt at two and one-half per cent, al
lowing. national banks circulation
on such reduced bonds at par. OPP
position to any legislation for con-
tinuing tho national banks was
voiced by Senator Reagan, of
Texas, who declared that the banks
had been guided by a policy pc
c~uliarly their own and at war with the
best interests of the country" and by
acterized the bank note currency as
mushroom stuff" which had already
brought distress upon the country.
Under present conditions the banks
cannot outlive the national debt. I'm
less legislation is provided for their
continuance the limit of their existence,
as banks of issue, will be 1907, the brief
period of nineteen years. But many of
them will not wait to reach the period
of natural death. Undoubtedly more or
less Of them will from year to year
surrender their privilege OF issuing
currency, so that it may be expected
nearly all of them will cease to have
circulation several years before they
will be forced, under existing condi-
tions, to abandon it,. 1t is claimed there
is at present no profit to the banks in
this circulation. If that be so there is
no reason to suppose there will be profit
hereafter. The advancing value of the
bonds necessary to secure circulation is
a fact against the organization Of new
banks. In short, all the circumstances
of the situation forbid the idea that the
national banking system will be en-
larged,' but on the contrary assure its
gradual decline.
The question Of universal interest to
the people is, therefore, shall provision
be made for continuing the national
banking system, or shall. it be allowed
to expire and the circulation thus lost
to the country be replaced by other
forms of currency, as gold and sill
yer certificates, coin or greenbacks?
This question is surrounded with diff
culties which it will be the duty Of con-
gress to wisely and thoroughly consider
when other matters of greater urgency
are out of the way.

THE death of Roscoe Conkling will
doubtless renew discussion as to several
matters concerning which there has
been controversy. One of these relates
to his views regarding the presidential
election of 1876, and the method adopted
to determine the result. 1t was freely
claimed at the time by the democrats
that Mr.. Conkling believed Mr.. Tilden
to have been elected, and this claim
seemed to gain strength from the fact
that Conkling manifested no sympathy
with the plan of an electoral commits
sion, preserving throughout q studied
silence with regard to the election and
to that project for determining the
result. The republicans were more
solicitous regarding his opinion than
that of any other man in congress, and
it is we'll remembered that great pres
sure was brought to bear to induce him
to make some expression on the matter.
When the electoral commission plan
was being formulated, and the greatest
anxiety prevailed throughout the coun-
try, it was reported from day to day
that Roscoe Conkling was preparing a
great speech on the subject, and never
was promised utterance awaited with
greater solicitudc by men of all parties.
The speech was never delivered, and
very likely none was prepared, though
it is probable Conkling did at one time
seriously intend to speak OF the matter.
Had he done so, there is very little rca-
son to doubt that it would have been in
opposition to the electoral commission,
on the ground of its unconstitutionality.
Is it not more than likely that the
counsel of General Grant dissuaded him
from doing this? The other matter of
controversy relates to whether there
was an understanding between Garfield
and Conkling in 1880 by which
in consideration of the latter engaging
actively in the campaign he was to be
allowed to control all appointments
under the administration, in the event
of Garlield's election, in New York. The
friends and adherents of Conkling have
always insisted that there was such an
agreement, and charged Garfield with
betrayal of a solemn compact in appoint
ing Judge Robertson-an ardent sup
porter of Mr.. Blaine, who refused to be
bound by the unit rule in the conven-
tion of 1SS0-collector of customs at New
York. A great deal has bccn said on
both sides of the controversy, but so far
as We know Mr.. Conkling never gave
any intimation that there had been such
an agreement. The inference,
however, was supported by strong
circumstances, and there are
doubtless very few who do not
believe that the price of Conkling's
support of Garfield was his control of
the New York appointments. With
regard to both these matters history
can make no authoritative statement,
since the only man who could have
remedied all doubt was silent respect
ing them to the end. Perhaps it is
well for his own fame, and for the fame
of others, that he was silent.

THE collapse of the American eX-
change in London and the disclosures
incident thereto, will not improve the
foreign estimate of 'American character
for honesty. The object of the institu-
tion was good, and had it been honestly
managed it would have been of great
service to Americans abroad and profit
able to those in charge of it, but it is
shown to have been conducted solely
with reference to plundering its contid-
ing victims, some of whom are heavy
losers by its collapse. The concern was
given a reputation by the connection
with it OF several reputable men, among
them Senator Hawley, who was the
president, but these men appear to have
really known very little about its opera
tions. There is perhaps some excuse
for their not being better in
formed regarding it, but they will
nevertheless have n share of the blame
for the collapse. Already the matter
is being referred to as likely TO be dis
advantage TO the presidential chances
OF Senator Hawley, foresh allowing that
in the event of his being nominated for
either place on the national republican
ticket his connection with the exchange
would be used against him. Yet no

The Iowa legislature, which adjourned,
had an exciting session, but did not accom-
plish much of permanent value. Prohibition
lists are grumbling because more radical tenn
perance measures were not passed, and on
the other hand there is complaint that the
new pharmacy law puts a stigma on drug
gists, and makes it almost impossible to get
liquor and spirits for even necessary pur-
poses. A bill TO regulate railroad fares failed
and the only thing that was done in the way
of railroad legislation was TO apply the prin-
ciple of the interstate commerce law within
the limits of the state, and to make the rail
road commission elective.

THE deal between the fllibusters and
anti-6llibusters in the democratic party
over the direct-tax bill by which the
deadlock was so readily broken is now
explained. The fllibusters have agreed
to permit a vote TO be taken upon the
direct-tax bill in December on condi-
tion that they can tack an amendment
TO the bill to remove the existing limi-
taGions upon the payment of further
claims under the captured abandoned
property act. The amount OF claims
under this act, which are now barred,
aggregate about SO, 00O, 900. So that if
the direct-tax bill ms amended be passed
in December, the north would get about
sl7 ,OO0, 900 and the south Sl5, 900, 600.
The brigadiers would be pleased with
this ''even trade" although the. north
would get a million ortwo more out OF

THE course of political events in Ohio

THE course of political events in Ohio,
while generally favorable to Mr.. Shcr-

rent that the friends of the senator

there is a possibility of this failing.
