Hon. Rankin Wiley, Jr., of this
county, and State Senator from the
9th District, is a candidate for Pres
ident Of the State Senate, and We
are glad to know thathis candidacy
Is meeting With much favor from
his colleagues in the Senate. and
from present appearances it looks
very much like he would receive
the caucus nomination. He would
make an excellent presiding officer,
being well posted in parliamentary
law, besides being a man of excel
lent executive ability, good law
yer and courteous gentleman, he
would bring dignity and statesman
ship to the position of presiding
officer. We hope it will be the
pleasure of the Democratic Senators
to nominate Mr.. Wiley in caucus
and elect him President of the SEN
ate.

Republican Scheme.

The scheme sprung by Steve Elk
ms to defeat Hon. Chas J. Faulkner,
Jr., for reelection to the q. S. SEN
ate, this winter, will be dismal fail
ure. The plan is for the Republi-
cans in the Legislature to settle on
some Democrat whom they will sup
port, and then try and get ths friends
of this Democrat to stay outside Of
the Democratic caucus in sufficient
number to defeat the Democratic
caucus nominee, Cwho, of course,
will be Mr.. Faulkner, and with
these and the Republican votes to
elect the boiling Democrat to the
Senate. OF course, Democrats will
not enter into the corrupt bargain.
1t shows plainly, however, that the
Republicans regard Mr.. Faulkner
as dangerous adversary, and would
resort to any means to defeat his
reelection to the Senate. Mr.
Faulkner will succeed himself.

No wild Cat IN n.

An exchange says that some peo-
pie profess a great deal of apprehen-
sion lest the old State banks should
be re-established as consequence
of the late great Democratic victory
on a platform demanding the repeal
of the 10 percent prohibitory tax on
those institutions. No Democratic
speaker or newspaper during the
late campaign advocated the re-
establishment of the old system of
State banking, nor was that the in
tention of the committee which
framed the platform or the conyen-
ton which adopted it. But it was
everywhere stated that the general
government had no legitimate right
TO utterly destroy a purely State in
stitution. Legislatures should have
the right to say what rate of taxation
should be paid by State banks, and
if the general government can and
will furnish a better and cheaper
and safer circulating medium than
the States can devise, the people will
certainly use it in preference. I'm
der the operations of such an eco
nomical and business like admins
tration as the country has the right
to expect at the hands of the Demo-
cratic party, the National debt will
be paid in a very few years; and the
basis for our National banking sys-
tenn wiped out. Its therefore, prop
er and right that some system to
take its place should be devised and
perfected, and the people will be
benefited by bringing the general
government into competition with
the several State governments.
There is really no occasion for
alarm. The Democratic leaders
have just had an object lesson in the
facility with which the people can
and will assert their prerogative
and turn their affairs over to other
hands if their chosen servants fail
to properly administer their trusts,
and that lesson can be repeated.

The advocates Of the robber tariff
need an additional lesson or two
before they can be brought to their
senses They belong to the class
which for many years has cried lit
tie else but Bourbon" at it's politi-
cal opponents Can any more strik-
ing display Of the spirit Bourbonism
be adduced than the exhibition
which they are now making of them
selves2 Blindly refusing to profit
by the terrible furnishings which the
people have at two successive gen
eral elections administered to them,
they announce that their protective
leagues will be kept up, that their
representatives in Congress will
continue to refuse to respect public
opinion and they will appeal to the
country once more upon the issue
which twice brought them defeat.
So be it. This will probably be the
best way to extirpate root and
branch political organization
which, if it ever had any usefulness,
has long since outlived it, and which
is a blight upon the fame and the
prosperity of the nation. 1t might
have been supposed after the cleo
ton we would have rest from the
false and senseless assertions that
the robber tariff increased the wages
of worlingmen. But this kind of
stuff is paraded with more emphasis
than ever, accompanied by hypoerit-
zeal walls over the alleged lowering
of wages to come as a result Of the
Democratic victory. No protection
print, no protection orator could, if
life depended upon it, be able to
adducc half dozen instances in the
whole United States where employ
ers who have benefited by the Nc
Kinley bill have voluntarily raised
the wages of their employees.

MAKING BANKS sAFeR.

Collector Hepburn's Rccomme mutations
Likely to Be Adopted
NEW YORK, Dec. e.-United States
Senator Chandler is the chairman of a
committee which win make an INTEREST
ing report to the senate within the next
few months in regard to national banks.
The committee is that ON failed
national banks, and in the last few
months it has been busy investigating
the national bank failures of the last
year or two, paying particular attention
to the Maverick national bank. of Bos-
ton, and the Keystone and Spring Gar
den national banks of Philadelphia.
A member OF the committee says that
the testimony which had been taken in
connection with the committee's inves-
LEGATION into the failure of the Maverick
bank would show some interesting
things Several office boys, he said,
were down ON the books of the bank
as borrowers of sums of money running
as high as $4,000. Another case that
the committee found was that of a
negro valet who was down ON the books
as the borrower of $50, 900.
The report of the committee will bear
directly ON the recommendations that
have been made by Solicitor Hepburn,
who has advised the adoption of
nhans5co VI u sWcSpillS nsleufe III NJ
honal banking laws. The changes that
he recommends all point toward pre-
venting national bank failures through
causes that have brought many of the
recent downfalls,
The members of the committee, be-
sides the chairman, are Senator's PETER,
Carlisle and Brice. During his recent
stay IN this city with the senate COM
mittee on immigration, Senator Cham
der has been in consultation with a
number of bank presidents and officials,
with whom he has discussed the solicit
or's recommendations.

houses of congress We're called to order
for the second session of the Fifty-sec-
ond congress at noon Monday.
This session will close next March,
when Mr.. Cleveland is inaugurated
president and new congress will come
into existence.
The Democratic members wear a
broad smile over the future supremacy
of the party, while the Republican
members are correspondingly depressed
at the way their party has lost its grip.
The Populists are disappointed, as they
expected to hold the balance of power.
This they will not do as they remain
Just about the same in number.
AS is usual the attendance in the
house is small. It is understood that
nothing but routine work will be at
tempted until after Jan. 1.

ability to reform the tariff, have al
ready notified their employees of an
