you WOulo uS'O
soeu Hring witness to Jul previous
statements as to the Governors use OF
such language. We will mail you this
week a clipping from the Columbia Reg
ister, of July I'd, which may serve to
satisfy you as to u correctness on this
subject. Yes, Ned, the Governor has
given his reasons for not signing the tax
extension bill, which was about as fol-
lows: That he had to raise money to pay
the interest on the public debt, and that
the banks of the State, being u%nfriendly
to the administration, he could not bor-
row the money with which to meet this
interest. But he did not pay his own
taxes until some time afterwards. This
goes to prove that he was not in sympa-
thy with the poor people of the State, in
this as well as many other instances.
Besides it has already been proven that a
certain bank in the State offered to loan
the STATE money 45F yr-pdFpose u pay
ing this interest, which, we think, places
the Governor in an awkward position.
What we think of the Governors man
agement of the Coosaw case is just this:
Our State treasury is now short at least
s125. 900 for want of a man to have man
aged this matter coolly and calmly, re-
garding the interest OF the State from
more than one standpoint. Good-by,
Ned"

AHISINT7T CASDTDATE

Mr.. Blaine's letter to Mr.. Clarkson
announcing that he VIII not be candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
the presidency reduces the Republican
situation to the simplicity of a field
with but one candidate. The party
must either renominate Harrison or
enter the campaign with the aclnowl-
edglnent that his administration has
been failure The latter course is
not to be anticipated. The president
will have no opposition to renomina-
ton except, perhaps, the artificial can
didacy Of aspirants who may take this
method of suggesting themselves for
the second place on the ticket.
Blaine and Harrison represent the
maximum and minimum of Republican
strength to-day. It was the misfortune
of the first to come before the nation as
a positive against negative force; it
was the good fortune OF Harrison that
his opportunity came when the mega
tive which opposed Mr.. Blaine had be-
come positive force, and he thus won
the favor OF the influences which de-
cided the contest against Mr.. Blaine.
BY degrees the aggressive opposition
to the latter has worn away. The dis
trust which he formerly excited no
longer exists, while ne retains the en-
thusiastie following which has made
him for many years the most conspicu-
Gus figure in his party. His nomina-
ton would have sorely tried the
strength of the strongest man that
could have been found to oppose him.
Harrison, ike Cleveland at the end
OF his presidential term. has lost the
quality which made his first election
possible. The two men are marvel

THIS story OF a dinner at Senator
Hale's, which was printed by the Wash
ington Post, has an air of probability
in view of the well-known fact of Mr..
Blaine's opposition to harsh measures
against Chill:
Alter dinner and while the gentlemen
were enjoying their CHASED and their eli
gars the conversation turned upon the
Gillian affair As the discussion deepened
Mr.. Blaine became aeutely excited and at
last he broke out in a violent denunciation
of the idea that Chilli should be dealt with
harshly. He declared that, although the
Valparaiso incident was nothing more than
drunken squabble in disreputable stun,
signifying nothing, the Chilian government
had already apologized for it ten times more
than ours had done for the brutal and bar
barous massacre of Italian citizens in New
Orleans st this Marquis Imperial is said
TO have bowed in his best style and compli-
mented the great secretary on his magnan-
unity and craftsmanship. Blaine then went
on to characterize in the severest terms the
disposition TO exact further concessions
from Chili-this az a time when the presi-
dent was VIGOROUSLY determined to do that
very thing-and wound up by declaring in
the most emphatic manner that IL the adj
ministration should adopt such n policy as
that he repudiated it and wanted to be so
understood.

In vain he tried to shake it off. It was

LoANTSe MONEY on LAND,

Congressman Oates has introduced a
bill authorizing national banks to lend
money on real estate security. Obiec-
ton is made to the bill on the ground
of danger TO the banks surplus, result
ing from long loans, and the need for
money to meet the demands of deposit
tors. This objection looks like beg
ging of the question, for indirectly
money is loaned by national banks on
land. Perhaps not by all Of them, but
in many instances. The banks money
is let out to a friend who makes the
loans on land direct, the bank not being
known in the transaction. If any dis
asters have resulted from this practice
we never heard of them. We do hear
of smashups resulting from speculation
by bank officials in stocks of various
kinds. But that is totally different
matter. Private banks make a prac-
tice of lending money on land, and I'M
less it be reeklessly done, no danger
Whatever Is incurred.
By removing the restriction now i'm
posed on national banks, q larger and
much more convenient supplyof money
would be placed at the disposal of the
land owner, who, with the best secur-
ity in the world, would no longer be
compelled to go in search of private
money lenders to make such bargains
as they may please to exact of him.
We see no reason why the bill should
not become a law.

seph Ellinger, p e. Eamunbon, w. w.
Lunn. II. Miller and T. G. Helm. The.
document is quite lengthy, and charges the
present incumbent. John w. Rankin, with
official misconduct in this-that he has will
fully and corruptly removed from
the county of Fayette, and has
thereby abandoned and vacated the Office
of county clerk of Fayette county, and fails
to give the Office his supervision, and asks
that he be suspended from office and that
some competent person be appointed TO fill
the Office until ne can be legally ousted
therefrom.
There is a desperate effort being made to
take Rankln's Office from him. The rumor
is current that Judge Feichmuller viii in

from him and his deputies. and VIII appoint

THE burning of the Royal hotel in
New York with its scores of human
victims, re-directs attention to the lack
OF effective fire escapes in those hotels
which happen to be burned. The scant
means of escape which are provided
are usually of little value because of
the terror of the guests. It is proba-
bic that coil of rope in each room
would be worth more in saving life
than all 9th er methods of escape that
could be provided. It is easily utilized,
it catches the attention of the guest,
and it is adapted to every place of

GOVERNOR BOYD took charge yester-
day OF the Office to which he was elected
by the voters of Nebraska several
months ago. It is mark of distinct
progress that even after months of de-
lay Republican sin" can be made to
comprehend the workings of the voting
out process. A governing precedent
with the party was set in 1876 when it
was decided that it could not be voted
