The Bangor Commercial which at
tributes the rise in taxation in this city
to the fact of a Republican administra-
ton doesn't know what it is talking
about. All the appropriations of money
have to pass the two boards of the city
council, the aldermen and the common
council. The aldermanic board contains
a Democratic majority. Both boards ap-
proved of the appropriations made this
year, which constitute the basis of the
years taxtaion. If any of these appro-
priations are unneces sary or extravagant
then both parties are responsible But
as matter of fact none of them were ex-
travagant or unnecessary. Some extra
ordinary expenditures had to be made
this year, and they would have had to
be made no less had the Mayor been a
Democrat instead ola Republican. To
attribute the increase of the tax rate to
the fact of change in the administration
is simply silly.

We have seen a good many rebukes in
our esteemed Democratic contempor-
aries of late for calamity shouting, but
if there has been any calam ity shouting
anywhere approaching this from a speech
delivered before the Iowa Democratic
convention it has escaped our observa-
ton:
We have met at critical time. Our
country and our party have alike reached
a crisis in their affairs. From all parts
of the land comes the wall of financial
distress The whirling wheels and ring
ing hammers of industry no longer join
in the glad music of prosperity, A
spirit of dread and anxiety floats like a
threatening cloud over all the marts OF
trade, and a ban of witchcraft seems
to have palsied the arm of public works
Waving fields and bursting granaries
attest the kindness of Providence, but
they condemn the weakness and folly OF
man, whose governmental policy compels
thousands to want in the presence OF I'M
told riches, since the absence OF med1-
UNI of exchange prevents the willing,
all-supplying tiller of the soil from bring
ing to the mouth of the consumer the
superabundance of food which he has
again received from natures horn of

We congratulate the Populists upon

we refer is Mr. LATE Pence, representative

The chief source of danger to the re-
peal bill in the ssSenate is flibustering.
1t seems to be practically certain that
there is majority for repeal If vote
can be forced. Now filibustering is very
wicked when it is used to defeat meas
ure which you are in favor of; but it is
all right when employed to defeat a
measure which you are against 1T is then
called saving the country from unwise
legislation by parliamentary tactics.
When the election bill was before the
Senate our Mugwump brethren regarded
flibustering to defeat it as perfectly
legitimate and when the idea of intro
ducing cloture to force a vote
was suggested they held up their
hands in holy horror. Now that
the boot is on the other leg they
are talking very differently. Even the
idea of cloture is tolerated. Indeed some
of them are suggesting it.

RAyING AGAINST BANKs.

Senator PETER is Populist, and the
first duty of every good Populist is to
rave against banks. The political cate
ehism of the Populist party runs appar-
entity in this way: What is a bank? A
bank is an institution to rob the poor
man under the form of law. What
should be done with banks? They
should be torn up root and branch and
all the money in them transferred to
the pockets of the people. What is a
banker? A banker is legalized rob-
Der. Imbued with these notions, the
long-whiskered PETER undertook the
other day to get lick at the banks. 1t
is well known that in all large cities
many of these institutions are paying
their depositors in checks and not in
"lawful money! as the law requires.
This is a technical violation of the
statute, and the comptroller of the cur
rency may call them to account for it.
AS a general rule the law is proper, but
Congress was wise enough to see that
there might be contingencies in which
it's strict enforcement would be exceed
ingly disastrous, and so it made provision
for it's suspension by leaving it some
what to the discretion of the comptroller
of the currency whether to enforce it or
not. An emergency has now arisen
when to enforce it to the letter would
produce widespread panic and disaster.
Yet in the>anidst of this emergency PETER
Jumps into the ring and demands to
know if it is being enforced, and if not
why not. PETER is probably not bad
man. He is simply man carried away
with an idea. He deems it part of his
duty to hit bankers head whenever
he sees one It is not altogether because
he hates the banker that he does this,
it is partly because he loves the dear peo-
pie His logic is this: the banker is
robbing the dear people, therefore if I
demolish the banker help the people
If it wasn't for the widespread ruin
it would cause it would be a good thing
to let him hit the banker as hard as he
wants to. That would be the best way
in the world to teach him that that sort
of performance isn't in the interest OF
UuG pCOplO du oil, ptAu feioolJ PASJeAoASAeei
to them. Of course the country can
not afford to incur so much expense
simply for the sake of educating PETER.
1t is altogether better to allow him te
remain in his present benighted state OF
mind. But if the experiment that PeHel
wants made could be, madesnot only would
he be educated but he would be over
whelmed. There would Immediately
be such rapid acceleration of the present
panic and it would become SO universal
that PETER would not hesitate to part
with his hirsute chin appendage for the
sake of Disgusting himself and thus
escaping the wrath of the people.
The best friends of PETER are the sena-
tors who, when he started in his rawlings
against the banks, promptly Shut b i'm

NAMES OF BATTLES.
Those That May be Inscribed on Regi
mental Colors.

A subject now under consideration at
the War Department is the compilation
in general orders of the names of battles
that may properly be inscribed ON the
colors of regiments and on guidons
These inscriptions, (which are Especially
cherished by the soldier, are provided
for in existing regulations, but it is felt
that they are in great need of revision
and tabulation. According ito the New
York Sun, there are interesting differ
ences in this respect between the regi-
ments. The infantry, for example, COM
prised, before the civil war, only ten regi-
ments. Nine others were added in 1861,
and each of these contained three battal-
ions, so that after the war the nine second
battalions were recognized as independ-
ent regiments, forming the twentieth to
the twenty-eighth regiment inclusive,
while the nine third battalions formed
the twenty-ninth to the thirty-seventh
inclusive That allowed many promo
tions and appointments for war services
and Congress also, in 1856, added eight
new infantry regiments, making forty
five in all. In due time came consolida-
lions, the result being our present
twenty-five regiments. These changes
must evidently be considered In making
up the battle record for the flags.
