DORIS the Daily GAZETTE know that the
national bank scheme and the sub-treasury
scheme are two of u kind! Moreover. does
il know there is a plank in the last state

banking system! If il knows these things,
why does it mass all its battery against the
sub-treaSury scheme, while the twin fraud

No, TIE GAZETTE knows nothing of
the kind. Many persons who know
very little of anything, and least OF all
about the national banking system, as
sumo such to be the case. but that does
not make it so.
Even if it were so, however,-if the
national banking system were as bad as
the sub-treasury scheme, there is not
the same urgency to oppose it as there
is in opposing the sub-treasury. The
national banks are here. II they are
an evil, it would be still greater evil
to destroy them. Withdraw their

Having Known No Kindness, They Return

1t is not an thing in the Ar

witnessed it myself-for a riding horse to
come home or to the gate of its owners

horses that are never doctored nor treate d

enemy rather than a friend; horses that
live out in the open and have to be hunted
to the coral or Enclosure. or roughly cap
tured with \ lasso az they run, when their
services are required.
| retain a very vivid recollection of the
first occasion of witnessing an action of
this kind of a horse, although / was only a
boy at the time. On going out one summer
evening l saw one of the horses of the es-
adjustment standing unsaddled and uu-
brldled, leaning his head over the gate.
Going to the spot, l stroked his nose. and
then. turning to an old native who hap
pened to be near, asked him what could be
the meaning of such u thing. II think he
is going to die" he answered, 'horses often
come to the house to die" And next morn
ing the poor beast was found lying dead
not twenty yards from the gate although he
had not appeared i'll when | stroked His
nose on the previous evening, but when l
saw him lying there dead and remembered
the old natives words it seemed to me- as

IhO American Girl Has Undergone q
Change of Late.
This charming product of the western
world has come into great prominence of
late years in literature and in foreign life,
and has attained a notoriety fattering or
otherwise to the national pride. No'insti-
tuition has been better known or more
marked on the continent and in England,
not excepting the tramway and the Pull
man cars. Her enterprise, hor daring, her
freedom from conventionality, have been
the theme of the novelists and the horror
of the dowagers having m~arriaReable
daughters. Considered as "stook," the
American girl has been quoted high, and
families %impecunious but noble have given
her eclat az belonging to Il new and CON-
quering race in the world. But the Ameri.
can girl has not simply u slender figure and
IA fine eye and a ready tongue, she is not
simply an engaging and companionable
tact. and ~adaptability. She has at length
seen in her varied European ex-
perience that it is more profitable to have
social good form according to local stand
ards than a reputation for dash and bril-
liancy., Consequently. the American girl of
no longer the dazzling, courageous figure.
In England. in France, in Germany. in It

the land. She has retired behind her
mother. She who formerly marched in the
van of the family procession. leading them

cal dance, is now the timid and retiring
girl, needing the protection of Il chaperon
on every occasion. The ~satirist will ind no

type whom he continues to describe.

has hanyeQ her tactics altopether.
And the change has reacted on
