STATE BANKS.

Instead of encouraging the re-
opening of State banks of issue by
repeating the 10 per cent. tax on
such currency, Congress would do
better to submit an amendment to
the constitution absolutely prohibit
ing the States and all private and
public corporations from issuing any
Dill or note TO circulate as money.
We thoroughly agree with the fol-
lowing terse AID forcetul statement
OF the matter by the St. Louis Globe.
Democrat
This demand for the repeal of a
tax which stands as a safeguard
against paper money of poor quality
and mischievous tendency involves
even greater possibilities of disaster
than the free silver coinage fallacy.
Under the state banking system as
it formerly existed the business of
the country would be transacted
with a form OF currency subject to
constant fiuctuation. The notes
issued in one State would be refused
in another, and thus each State
would be practically compelled to
shift for itselfin the matter of money.
History tells and many people can
remember how the plan worked in
anti,bellum days. There were as
many different kinds of currency as
there were States, and the best of
it was not to be depended upon for
week at time. The banks were
a detrlment rather shan an advan>
tage. to the public, as they flooded
the country with bills that were 4
source of general confusion and
systematic loss. 1t was customary
to make negotiable paper payable at
the residence of the creditor, some
times hundreds of miles distant from
the home of the debtor, in order to
avoid the necessity of accepting
money that could rot be used out
side of comparatively small area.
The people surely do not desire the
restoration of that sort of currency,
with all its manifest drawbacks and
dangers. We are doing well Under
the present admirable system, and
there is no reason why it should be
undermined by the removal of the
tax that alone serves to prevent the
States from issuing vast quantities
Of cheap and unreliable currency.

AT Home And ABROAD.
The Latest Intelligence by
Telegraph and Cable.
Five Men and Four Race Horses
Killed in Collision.

The Boston express freight ran into the
Brattleboro freight, bound south, about a
Thousand feet south of the Gag station at
Harrison's Landin;, Conn.,, on the New
London Northern Railroad. The engines
came together head on, and a frightful
wreck was the result. The first car of the
southbound train contained four racahorses
bound for the races at Croton. Four o. the
five men in charge of the horses were killed
outright, and one was fearfully injured
that be died few minutes after reaching
New London.
The men killed were as follows: Charles
Hinev and William GiIlen, of Ballston Spa,
N. Y; Edward Moore, OF Norwich, Con-
necticut residence unknown.
or the fifth man nothing was known and
there was nothing apon his person which
would tend to identity him.
The racehorses killed were Teddy R.,
Brockway, Wonderful Cure and Jennie
Maynard. The car which carried the horses
and men was carried, after the collision,
over the engine Of the northbound train and
then fell over on its side. Other cars of this
train we're also thrown over and to the side
Of the Boston freight.
The cause of the accident has not yet been
determined and no one can be found who
will venture theory. The railroad officials
have nothing to say. The coroner and medi-
cal examiner were at work in the case, and
the engineers, firemen and other train hands
and railroad officials were pat upon the
stand. The train dispatcher OF the road was
declared to be the person ut fault, and he
was placed under arrest by the coroner.
