''Some of the names of towns are arrived at
in a peculiar manner" said 7. L. Dawson at
the Grand. For example, the town of VAN
daiia. in Illinois, which was named in a sim
gular manner. The man VINO owned the land
on which the present town OF Vandalia is sit
uated was man without great deal OF edu-
cation. and wanted u lawyer friend of his.
who was e wa. to give him name for his

should name his town 'Nandalia; or. the
home of the Vandals. 1t was at that time

BANK TAX AND TARIFF,

Two Issues VIII Not BE Joined by the
southern Democratic Leaders.
The Democratic managers of the tariff bill
in the Senate are not greatly disturbed over
the intimation that an amendment will be Of
fercd providing for the repeal of the state
bank tax. They do not believe that it would
be pressed by those who have the deepest in
terest in the success OF the repeal.
The southern Democratic Senators are the
ones who are most concerned about the re-
peal OF the state bank tax, and they also con-
stitute the element in the Senate most inter-
ested in the passage Of the tariff bill, and it is
not believed that they would agree to imperil
the tariff bill or TO delay it in any way by
pressing. in connection with it as rider. u
measure which they consider of only COM
parative Importance.

WEST PoIsT. n. Y. June 5.-There was the
usual clamor this afternoon and appeals to
Capt. Miller, the quartermaster. for tickets of
admission TO the riding hall. Tne tickets
were issued to about 400 persons only, and
the less fortunate had to be content with peer
ing through the entrance ways.
Three galleries were packed. the board Of
visitors occupying the south side. Capt.
Craig and troop of twenty-seven cadets re-
Gently from the graduating class gave fine
exhibition of esquestrianism. The cadets first
appeared ON saddles and then rode bareback,
going through several hazardous feats in
horsemanship by mounting and dismounting
while the horses were gallopins around the
circle. The hurdle riding was up to the
standard. and the board manifested their ap-
probation OF the exhibition by repeated ap-
plause.
The exercises this afternoon terminated
Capt Craig's services here as instructor of
cavalry tactics, he having been transferred to
another post.

A SECOND DANIEL.

The debate which has been in progress for
a week past in the House of Representatives
on the repeal of the state bank tax has not ex-
cited that public interest which it perhaps de-
serves.
The friends of unconditional repeal have all
along been sangulne that they would easily
carry their point. They are not SO confident
now.
As vote will be taken OH the question to-
day, it is too late to offer any suggestions.
No argument would now probably affect the
result.
new star, however, has arisen in the
financial armament. and its brilliant scintil-
lations have attracted general attention and
some admiration.
Mr.. Rayner, a Democratic representative
from Maryland, on Monday last bolted the
Chicago platform on this subject. He wasn't
at Chicago and don't know how this plank,
at variance with his conscientious convic-
tions, was slipped into the platform.
The inference is that nobody ia bound by a
party platform who did not personally par
ticipate in its construction.
Mr.. Rayner made strong appeal against
renewing system that had once bankrupted
the country.
At what period the state bank system bank
rupted the country he failed to tell US. The
event. if it occurred. has certainly escaped
some memories that are considered retentive
He conceded the defects in the national
banking system. but claimed that they could
be remedied to meet every emergency.
Experience does not teach that it is any
easier to remedy defects in national law
than it is to remedy them in state law.
This Congress has not shown alacrity in
remedying defects in any laws.
The climax of Mr. Rayner's "bold utter
ances" " was reached when he asserted that
:" the right of the states to issue money is a
concurrent right with that of Congress- and
that when Congress exercises the power it is
an end of the rights of the states.''
A press correspondent says that this was
the first time during the debate that this view
of the case had been impressed upon the
House. and Mr.. Rayner was piled with ques
tions by leading lawyers.
We should think So Also we should like
to ply Mr.. Rayner with question or two.
Would not the logical effect of his views, if
carried out, be to wipe out the states and re-
mand them into a territorial condition?
The states created Congress and invested it
with certain defined duties and powers. Does
not the logic of Mr.. Rayner make the creature
greater than the creator?
Is there not some inconsistency in Mr..
Rayner's highfalutin peroration? 81 hope
to see the day." he exclaims, "when the
great question of finance shall be taken out
of politics. 1t does not really belong there.
Politicians are not qualified to deal with it."
Without the politicians how could We have
either national or state currency? Does he
advocate return to the shinplaster era,
when every man made his own currency by
printing and circulating his individual prom
ises TO pay?
Please enlighten us, Mr.. Rayner. THE
TIMES is open to conviction.

who was found in an almost starved condition
