SECTIONAL sTRIFE.

Sectional pride is commemorate so
long as it induces only friendly strife to
excel; but when it is permitted to en-
gender a spirit of hatred for rival local
tiles and determination to inJure them.
it deserves the condemnation of the
country. There is an unmistakable
spirit of antagonism in New York to
the worlds fair. The principal leader
of it is the New York Sun, but almost
every paper in that city is keeping up a
constant fusilade of sIurs. The Sun
makes no secret of its desire TO injure
the fair, and deyotes all the fertility of
its editorial brain to Matching argu-
ments to persuade the business men of
the city to withhold their exhibits. The
hysterical filings of the New York press
against the inter-ocean city of years
past have caused only smiles among
outsiders; for the missiles were harm
less, and displayed only ridiculous
childishness. But the case is very diff
ferent now. Their attack is in dlrec-
ton which can do very material harm to
the exposition. TO make its position
plausible. the Sun has worked up feel
ing that New York is made a victim OF
discrimination in the matter of space
and location. The absurdity of the
charge seems too ridiculous to be
worthy of refutation; but it is likely to
be very catching one with New York
people. The management of the worlds
fair is no more in the hands of Chicago
than it is in the hands of New York. 1t
is chosen from every state in the Union,
and the state of New York has the
largest representation in it. The space
set apart for the city of New York is
far the largest and most favorable of any
city.

BANK DEFALCATIONs.

Bank wrecking and defalcations are
getting 10 be matters Of daily occur
renee. The banks are not going to the
wall through financial crises. but
through the coId-blooded robbery of
their officials. The Capitol National
Bank of Lincoln, Neb.. has just been
wrecked, and left with liabilities
amounting TO 81, 100000 and no assets.
The paying teller of Delaware national
bank yesterday confessed to having
embeZzled at different times money az
gregating 500, 900. Such news is so CON-
mon that outside the suffering localities
it has ceased to arouse interest. 1t is
evident that there is something radi-
cally loose in the means of guarding the
public from these vast robberieS, and
soon the people will believe, and many
do now, that they have much more to
fear from banks than anything else
in the world.
The train robber is saint in COM
parISon TO the bank Wrecker and en-
bezzler. If you have the courage to
stand out against the former, you have
some show of folling him; but the bank
wrecker gives you no earthly chance.
He steals your confidence with an up
right and congenial presence, and de-
liberately robs you by methods which
you are powerless to divine.
That President MOSHER, of the Lin
coin bank, could have gotten away with
so much money without arouSing the
least suspicion before the end was
reached seems incomprehensible; and
that mere paying teller could have
stolen $4,000 by Titles without being
caught in the accounts which were kept
by different ones seems still more mys-
FERROUS.
The anxiety of the people who de-
poSit and own stock IN banks is set at
rest by the thought that there is bank
examiner to keep track of the affairs
and prevent crooked work among
officials. But it seems that these fellows
are smarter than the bank examiners.
1t is most strange that some method
cannot be hit upon which will put an
effectual end to this growing crime.
The state and nation should devise a
uniform system of keeping bank &C.

sufficiently complex to enable an ex-
aminer to detect the slightest discrep

counts of the same. The abIest minds
should be called into the work of devils
ing a system which will be absolutely
safe for depositors and stockholders.

THE KENYON REPORT.

1t is serious matter to say that a
state officer is either bungler or a
blockhead, and the GLOBE is at loss
without the use of similar terms to ex-
plot the report of Public Examiner
KENYON yesterday submitted to the
governor. III this report, as published
in another place, the examiner asserts
that the GLOBE Publishing company mas
overcharged Ramsey county for the pub
LEGATION of certain official notices OF
delinquent tax lists and eXpirations OF
redempti0nS, and cites three instances
covering a period of about three years.
In each of these cases, Mr.. KENYON as
Serts that the price should have been
% cents per description, but the GLOBE
received about three times that amount.
This is entirely correct. The price
was % cents per description, and that
was the price charged and received by
the GLOBE. But it seems to have en-
tirely escaped the notice of this most
accurate individual and excellent ac-
countant that each of the publications
WaSinSerted three times, instead of once,
and that the charge was for that num-
Der of insertions. Mr.. KENA ON appears
to have overlooked this fact, and that
he did not mention it is credited to an
omission, not blunder. He knows the
law, for on any other theory, he is unfit
for the position he fills; therefore it is
not for his information, but for that of
the general public, that the following
extracts are given:
Each county auditor shall, at least three

bill therefor duly rendered the county.
1t was approved by the auditor and the
county commissioners. and, in the
course of time, paid by the treasurer.
These are the facts which are omitted
by the astute public examiner, and the
reasons are best known to himself. He
may take his choice of the horns of the
diiemma-that he knew and was disin-
genuouS. or that he was entirely ig-
norant Of the law and the facts.

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 24. Lewis Red

trayed to the police by the daughter
of Oaks Redwlne will say nothing. He
will not tell how he effected his mys-
FERROUS disappearance, but does say he
has not been away from the city at any
time. He denies absolutely having
taken any money with him, and laughs
at the idea of his being defaulter to
any large amount. He says if anything
like $4,000 has disappeared somebody
else got it. Bank Examiner Campbell
is in charge, but is not able yet to say
anything more than that the deposhorS
will get their money.
Thomas Cobb jackson, young law
yer, and one of the most prominent
young men of the South, a son of Capt.
Henry jackson, of this city, and grand
son of Gen. Henry Il. jackson, of Sa-
vannah, committed suicide last night.
No cause is assigned. The suicide is
probably the greatest sensation Atlanta
has ever known. He and his father
had just reached home from
their office. Capt Jackson stepping
out, had gone only short distance
when the report of a pistol was heard.
Going back, he found his son dead. He
had been respondent for several days.
This was largely due to overwork. He
and Lewis Redwine, the defauter, were
warm friends, and 1t is supposed Red
wines troubles unbalanced Jackson'S
mind.

The Lake Crystal Union fayors Hop
klns' bill, as follows:
Representative Hopkins, of Waton-
wan county, has bill before the legis-
lature in regard to villages voting aid to
public enterprises. which is one of the
best moves in favor of country towns
that can be made. 1t should pass and
become a law.
!. The Duluth Commonwealth has the
sfollowlng TO say ON the proposed tax on
ore:
The Legislature will probably put a
tax OF three cents ton on ore for five
cYears, with provision for increasing
I it to five cents after that. That will
have Il mixed effect. Were contracts
are already in force it will fall upon the
mining company and make serious
burden. Where contracts are made i'll
the future it will be taken into account
and will fall mostly on the owners of
: the land, who would not be crippled by
it. But tits not properly laid anyway.
1t ought to be tax on mineral deposits
SO levied that it could not possibly be a
tax on mining.
