HONOR TO WHOM HoNoR is DUE.

Murder will out" says an old adage,
and time solves most mysteries. For near
Iy two years the authorship of the plank
in the Chicago platform f~avoring the re-
peal of the prohibitory tax on State banks
and how it got into the platform has been
a matter of profound mystery. Tn APP
pearance of the resolution was a surprise
to the country. There had been no previous
agitation and no popular demand for any
thing of the kind. 1t had not been dis
cussed in the press, and nc State conven-
ton had declared in favor of it. The res
olution came like the proverbial clap of
thunder from a clear sky. 1t Immediately
raised a connection Republicans de-
nounced it as a step towards the restora-
ton Of wildcat banks. as it plainly is.
