Our Banking System.

In his recent speech in the national
House Of Representatives, Private John
VI. Allen, OF Mississippi said:
1--WE have been unable 70 get "A Dill
rcported TO carry out that pledge In the
Democratic platform In favor OF the re-
peal Of the 10 per cent. tax on the issue
of state banks, and many Of our Demo
cratic colleagues have turned their
backs on this Democratic declaration
and are as much opposed to 1t as II II
were Republican measure
The Democratic National Convention
did not pledge" the Democratic party
to the repeal OF the 10 per cent. tax
upon the circulating notes OF state banks
but simply RECOMMENDED" its repeal.
Besides, the Chicago Convention com
mitted the Democratic party TO the doc

land himself does not look upon with

the Wilson bin ought not to object to
the course Of The Democrats who decline
to vote for the repeal Of the 10 per cent.
tax.
So we do not mourn over the fact
stated by Private Allen. but are rather
pleased to learn from such authority
that so many OF the Democratic members
of Congress are opposed to fne debase-

saws the eight denominations have 300
adheronts. and that there are 1850 persons
who have no affiliations Of any sort with
any religious body. He continues: There
were last Sunday In the fifteen churches
Of the town less than 1900 people; that is,
for every three persons who went to
church there were seventeen who did not
go. Most Of the religious societies are in
debt. every church Is Of wood. and several
of the organizations have neither a church
nor a hope Of having one"
The Boston Herald admits the truth OF
these statements. That paper says:
'Mr. Hale's paper is faithful state
ment Of the decadence Of religion and the
present makeshifts to secure its mainte-
nance in n great many respectable coun-

We suppose that as to this matter Vir-

OF the ediiices or Of the people, were ever
before in so good a condition as now.
