makes the banks put up first class gilt
edge security and then government
issues to the banks 80 per cent. of the
amount of that security in National
bank notes; then If the bank fail to re-
deem its notes on presentation govern
ment does it and keeps the securities.
That is all there is to it. 1t must be
borne in mind that National banks
stand ready. and are by law compelled,
at any time to redeem their outstand-
ing notes in money. No man has ever
lost cent through National bank notes.
When those banks were established,
they were necessary and beneticent in
situations. They have outlived their
usefulness and are rapidly passing out
of existence. Nobody favors the per-
petuation of National banks, because
that involves a new issue OF United
States bonds. The bankers do not care
anything about keeping up the system,
because it is surrounded by restrictions
and annoyances, and has become un-
popular; besides. there is nothing a
National bank can do which a private
bank may not accomplish, and there
are many things National bank can
not do, which bankers and good bust.
uess men say banks ought to be allowed
to do.

WRONG IDEAS.

Our Populist friends seem to have
mistaken ideas about National bank
currency. They imagine that govern
ment presents outright to the banks a
certain amount Of money which people
are compelled to take in payment OF
accounts. That is all wrong. Ma
tional bank currency is simply negoti-
able promissory notes. A note issued
by our home bank, for instance, reads:
The First National Bank Of Caldwell
will pay to bearer ten dollars, on de-
mand. That is what they all say, OK
cept, of course, difference in the num-
Der of dollars. If you have a note of
The First National Bank of Caldwell,
you can present it and demand pay
ment in gold or silver coin, or legal
tender issued by government. Bank
notes are not legal tender; they are
simply demand on the issuing bank
for legal tender The reason why ;ney
pass current, at par, as money. is be-
cause the world has absolute confidence
in the ability of the banks to redeem.
But suppose you present note and
the banker refuses, or says he can't re-
deem it, then government steps in,
closes up the bank and proceeds to re-
deem all the outstanding notes of the
insolvent or repudiating bank. How
can government do that, you ask? Be-
cause government has compelled the
bank to deposit with the Treasurer of
The United States bonds sufficient to
cover all the notes of the bank and ten
per cent. more. The government

didn't agree with him. We believe the

In THESE political times the proper
thing is to pour fourth eulogies and
panegyrics for the benefit of aspirants
for future public favor. Nobody ap-
pears to have any time to devote to the

the sEeREE PROPOSITION.

The proposition made by President
SEBREE to farmers under the Sebree
ditch is substantially as follows: TWEEN.
,ty-fve thousand dollars are to be ex-
pended in charging the ditch; that will
increase the capacity so as to supply
all the land under it. The farmers
have the privilege Of doing work and
otherwise providing for the payment of
the $685. GOO within reasonable period
of time, for which they are to receive
$500 inches of water, or, il desirable
and payment can be made. a greater
quantity. Then it is proposed to dis
tribute free among the farmers two
thirds of the corporate stock, pro rata,
in order that the actual owners and
users of the water may have full and
equal representation in the manage.
ment Of the property.
Now, that seems like fair PROPOSE
ton. Indeed, at first blush, almost too
fair to be genuine. But there are rea-
sons behind this why such men as MIR.
SEBREE, Governor WHITE and others
should be disposed to treat literally
with the people of Canyon County.
They hsve large interests here. Mr..
SEBREE lives here, and, perhaps, al
ways will. and Gov. WHITE is laying
plans to make this his home at no very
remote time. These men understand
that unless the country surrounding
them is progressive and the people
prosperous, they cannot hope to be pro-
gressive and prosperous themselves.
They, also, haye begun to sensibly ap-
preciate the fundamental fact that the
water rental business is not exactly
the right thing for this country. We
are glad that they are the first to see
it, and THE TRIBUNE may be excused
for believing that, in slight measure.
it had something to do with opening

The TRIBUNE has always maintained
that greater care should be exercised by
the people in the selection of county
commissioners than any other officers.
II the commissioners are all right,
nothing can 60 very much wrong. That
is sure. 1t is evident that the Repub-
licans Of this county have acted IN this
matter with commendable discretion
and wisdom. The nominees for COM
missioners are unexceptional in every
respect. Mr.. E. X. HAYES, of the first
district, is a young man in years but
we'll matured in business qualifica-
lions. He stands before the people of
this county without a blemish or dis
ability. He is entitled to the best sup
port of the Republican party and the
hearty approval of all classes. ALEX.
AMBER BLEssINGER, of the second dis,
trict, is one of the old landmarks. He
has lived among the people of Canyon
County for years and years, enjoying
their confidence and respect. There
need be no hesitancy about reposing an
important truss in a man of Mr.. BLEs.

Mr.. SWEET and the editor Of the FREQ Press

There is touch of simple, unaffected

noteworthy that Mr.. SWEETS name is
mentioned first, disclosing delicacy OF

men of pre-eminent attachments. No
admirer of Mr. SWEET ever paid him a
higher compliment. Greatness and

ately for the state, but one of the finan-

at high water materially shorten the
course 1t Is as full of modern steamers as
the Mississippi, and has in addition the
thousands of odd boats and 1unks of the
Chinese. 1 could fill this paper with the
mention of the different kinds of craft and
their loads, and among the ships there are
many which would be surprise to Ameri-
can readers. There are Chinese life boats,
for instance, everywhere. They are low
junks with oars and sails, and they watch
the river during the storms and pick up
such sampans and fishing boats as are over
turned. They are under the control of the
districts through which they go and form a
sort of river police.
Now and then they capture a smuggler or
a pirate, and here and there outside of
some of the villages / saw boats which had
been cut in half and set up on end. l asked
what they were, and I was told that they
had belonged to pirates and thieves. The
culprits had been caught and beheaded, and
their boats were thus put up warnings
to their brothers to beware of the law.
Such boats are usually put up at the places
at which the crimes were committed.
Everywhere you meet with native and
government officials. The different pro-
vinces have their customs officers, and they
levy heavy tax on all the native boats,
each official gets his squeeze and the taxa
ton is terribly heavy. The customs COL
lected for the general government are in
the hands of foreigners. for the emperor
cannot rely upon the honesty of his own
officials, and so an Irishman, Sir Robert
Hart. collects his duties for him. and his
boats and officials are at all of the leading
ports. You see their customs officers scat
tered all along the banks of the river, and
at high water they sometimes use the little
huts of bamboo. which are brought down
in the RATS from the upper Yangtse.
This valley of the Gangtse Kiang is a
vast garden. All along it's course the grass
is as green as Egypt in winter, and two or
three crops year are everywhere grown.

but also as to every creek and canal con-

are more bikes here to the square mile than
you will find in the Netherlands. Sailing
along the Yangste you see these bikes in
every direction. They are about twenty
feet high and from thirty to forty feet
wide at the base and their tops form the
roads and paths OF the country Along
them you see all sorts of Chinese charac-
