An international Bank.

We can recollect when United States
bank. or The United States bank. or
proposition to establish United States
bank, was almost constantly used as
bugbear TO frighten the voters from voting
the Wing ticket. Now there are numerous
national banks IN this country. They may
be found not only in cities but In small
towns And the present banking system
is deservediy popular. We have, we sup
poee, q currency SO good that mono
better can ever DO expected. In old days.
however. 1t seemed To be regarded as one
OF the rights OF the States that each State
should have banking system of its own,
and not only so. but system differing
from those in vogue In the other States.
The spirit in which our people have re-
ceiyed the proposition TO establish an in.
terbational bank has reminded as Of those
old times. Before many years roll over
our heads the commercial world will have
universal currency. Like government.
al postal telegraph. international banks
win soon be considered indispensable.
The sooner. therefore. we concur in the
proposition TO establish bank chartered
By the United States Government for the
use Of the countries represented in tho
psn-Amer;csn Congress. the sooner we
shall yield to manifest destiny" The
Wsuhineton Port says the proposition is
intended to supply want that. even with
our present Imperfect international rels-
tfons. has been injuriously felt as in
volvine the necessity Of depending entire

The Negro Convention.

To-day will assemble in this city con-
yention of "the colored people of the
State" II would not surprise us If II
should turn out that the call is correctly
worded. and that large majority of the
delegates are "colored people" and but
few of them negroes properly so called.
The colored people, or the negroes, how
ever, have the right to select a name for
their own convention, and We shall not
complain whether they call themselves
Negroes or colored people, or their conven-
ton negro convention or colored peo-
Piles convention.
The object Of this convention, as stated
in the call for its assembling. is to take
into consideration the political, education
nj. moral, and financial condition Of the
colored people and all other interests az
fecting them as people and as citizens of
the United States and of the State of Vir-
GINA, and to enact such general policy
for their government and conduct as shall
tend TO enhance and improve their condi-
ton"
Will this convention break off the Ma
HONE shackles Will it set free the negro
voters of Virginia and allow them to vote
the Democratic ticket if they desire so to
do? Or will it denounce as enemies oil
white persons who do not "foregather
with carpet-nagsers. scalawags, and the
other bad men who have for twenty years
and more used the negro as their most
willing and useful tool!
A thousand negro Democrats in Rich
mond would do more to demoralize the
whites and aid the negro race than all the
negro voters here can do for that race sc
long as they array themselves as the enc
mics Of the whites. How can the negro
hope TO be respected when he asks but one
question at the ballot-box-namely. which
ticket are the white men voting? He votes
against his employer all the time. After
oil Is said. however. that can be said upon
the subject, it still remains true that it is
doubtful whether the whites here ought Il
try TO get negro votes by making conces.
sions Of any kind 10 them.

SamueI ]. Randall.

A Roman sentinel as regards the matter
Of duty; gladiator in the arena OF par
liamentary tactics: patriot. statesman,
and one OF the strongest friendsand Doblest
champions the South has had in Congress
since the war. has fallen. SAMUEL JACKSON
RANDALL died at o'clock Sunday morning.
Mr.. RANDALL. was born in Philadelphia
Penn. October 10, 1923, and was the son OF
a well.known lawyer and Democratic poll
ticjap of that city. The deceased was reared
70 and educated for mercantile lie, put
soon developed a fondness for politics, and
after serving four terms in the City Council
of his native city and one term in the State
Senate was elected TO the United States
House Of Representatives. He took bis
seat in that body December z. 1868, and
afterwards continuously represented the
only Democratic district in Philadelphia.
He served on the Committee on Banking.
Committee on Rules. and Committee on
Elections, and attained prominence as
chairman of the Committee on Appro-
priasions. December 4. 1875, he was elected
Speaker Of the House, Mr.. KEEB having
died the previous October He was re-
elected 10 that position in the two follow
ING Congresses and occupied the chair
until March 8, 1891. Mr.. RANDALL was one
of the strongest debaters in Congress,
man of granitic integrity. and OF almost
unparalleled will-pover and tenacity IN
pursuing the course Of what he considered
duty and patriotism. AZ regards questions
arising in his own party he was frequently
at variance with certain elements, but
none either in or out of his party can say
that SAMUEL J. RANDALL was not honest IN
his convictions and conservative. or
did not follow the middle path. bis
fight against that infamous measure the
force bill marks an era in the history OF
the legislation of this country. For forty
seven consecutive hours SAMUEL JACKSON
RANDALL never left the floor of the House,
but held the shield of his great influence
over the defenceless South, receiving
heavy blows. and by parliamentary thrust
and parry prevented the passage of mea-
sure that would have been most terrible
outrage upon this section and gross vio-
lation of the Constitution. During the
present session, owing to illness, MIR. RAN
DALI was never able to take his seat. This
was matter of special regret, owing to
Speaker REED's arbitrary rulings. With
out rejecting upon any other Democratic
member of Congress it may be said that
SAMUEL. j. RANDALL was of all the men,
bers of Congress of his party the best
equipped and the most thoroughly armed
TO take the would-be Gar by the throat.
The South's debt of gratitude to RANDALL
can never be paid. She should wreathe
his tomb with laurels and forever burn
above it the incense of affection in his

Rhode Island.

Wisconsin, Iowa. and Rhode Island all
threatening TO throw off the Republican
yoke! What an encouraging fact! THESE
three STAGES have ever since the war been
regarded as hopelessly Republican. What
ever Ohio, or Pennsylvania, or Illinois, or
any other State might do, those three
States were always counted upon as
bound hand and foot to the Repub-
lican party. Very recently we called
tho attention Of our readers TO the
prospects of q brighter future fop the
Democrats in Iowa and Wisconsin; and
now we have the pleasure of boosting that
the Democrats have actually triumpbed IN
Rhode Island. The results of last weeks
elections in that State will be that the
Democrats will control the General Com
mittee of the Legislature, and tho Demo
cratic candidates who received plurality
of the votes at the general election will be
chosen and the Republican Governor

if no such trickery be resorted to as that
which placed HAYES in the presidential
chair in 1877 and converted Montana into
a Republican State in 1889.

there last week. The term of one senator
expires in 1898 and of the other in 1895.

Mr.. WIsEs SPEEcH.-The Congressional
Record containing GEORGE WIsR's speech IS
worth reading. He began as follows:
MIR. WISE: Mr.. Speaker. ] do not intend
TO follow the example OF the gentleman
who opened this case in behalf OF the Com.
mittee on Elections. In travelling out OF
the record be evinced q disposition to gam
an undue advantage. and this morning the
gentleman from Wisconsin Mr.. HAUGENI
initiated his example by making the state
mont TO this House that IL ~ custom IN
Virginia in purging the polls to post no.
tices aud then have them torn down, -,
Mr.. HAUGEN: No, not custom; Will
not say that.
Mr. BAUGEN / say 1t IS method whicn
has been pursued; and have paper
here
MIR. WISE: When ] called your atten-
tion to the fact that what you were speak
ing of was done one year after the election
MIR. HAUGEN: That is true; and the
gentleman was party to it.
Mr.. WISE: You, sir, said that l was Q
party TO it.; and denounce that as talse-
hood. =,
Mr.. HAUGEN (holding papcr); Mr.
Speaker, would like, to have the oppor'
tunlty 10 put lllls III J1c lt,IU".
Mr.. WISE: l object to your putting in
the Record any falsehood.
Mr.. ROWELL: Then object to the de.
nunciation of a statement as " falsehood.
when there is q court record to prove 1t Is
not falsehood.
Mr.. WISE: There is no court record.
His references to tho dead snegroes who
had been brought into his case afforded
both instruction and amusement to thu
House. His speech was worthy of beinl
printed along with Colonel O'FERRALL's.
