be imposed q ak of Soy one half OF one
per cent. pr annum upon the average
amount of notes in circulation; IL Is
further provided thai there shall Dc no
national bank notes issued OF {"
less denomination than ten collars;
that each national bank, except in Case
of failed bank, shall redeem or retire
its notes in the first instance at It's own
office, or at agencies to be designated
by it, aud that no fixed reserve need
be maintained on account of deposits.
Another very important feature OF
this plan is the exemption of State
banks from taxation by the United
States, in cases where it is shown to the
satisfaction of the Secretary OF the
Treasury and Comptroller of The Cur
rency by banks claiming such exemp-
ton that they have not had out
standing their circulating notes exceed,
ing rs per cent. of their paid up and
unimpaired capital that their stock
holders are individually liable for the
redemption of their circulating notes to
the full extent of their owner
ship of stock; that the liability
of said anks upon their circu
lating notes constitutes under their
State law a first lien upon their
assets; that such banks have kept and
maintained q guarantee fluid in United
States legal tender notes including
treasury notes of 1890 equal to thirty
per cent. of their outstanding circulat-
ing notes when presented at their prln-
cipal or branch offices. 1t is quite
likely that this scheme may be usefully
amended in some of its details, but
am satisfied it furnishes basis for a
very great improvement in our present
banking and currency system.

A GEORGIA Judge last week, in SEN
fencing to death a negro man convict
ed of outraging white woman, said,
"If the judges of the courts would call
special sessions and give speedy trials
to persons accused of such.crimes, there
would be fewer lynchings. The slow
ness of the courts in administering JUS
tice is largely responsible for the people
taking the law into their own hands,
The Judge spoke the truth, and if hi;
wise advice be taken, and such crimi
nals as he referred to be tried, convict
ed and hanged on the day of their ar
rest, lynching would soon be lost art
in the South.

8 PEACE Nor YET AssURED.-A dis
patch from Toxic says that peace ne.
gotiations are proceeding. The Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs has handed to
United States Minister Dun counter
proposition for transmission to United
States Minister DENLY. Owing to the
impenetrable secrecy surrounding
the negotiations, it is impossible, at this
stage, to discover the exact nature OF
this proposition, but it is sup
posed to differ from Minister Denby's
original proposition mainly in respect
to the amount of he.idemnity demand
ed by Japan and in the adoption of GER
tain rather onerous guarantees for the
faithful execution of China's pledges.
1t is rumored that one of these guaran-
tees is the continuation of japanese oc-
cupation of Port Arthur until the treaty
conditions are fulfilled, but it is ap.
pretended that.such a demand may in
volve Great Britain, to which nation
such occupation would be obnoxious.

is Characteristic of them that they
never saw the wisdom of it until now.

The "reformers" of New York are

form is utterly impracticable where
every body has the privilege of voting.
Where all have right 10 pie, every
man wants some of it, and will fight CT
do worse for his share.

THE fact, as previously stated in the
GAZETTE, that large number of the
members OF the present Congress tried
to rob the government by attempting
to draw their mileage, though intend
ing to remain at home, tends neither to
prove that the voice of the men who
elected them was the voice of God, or
that reliance can be placed upon popu-
lar government. This may be seditious,
but it is true.

The tariff act passed at the last ses-
sion of the Congress needs important
amendments if it is to be executed eff
fectively and with certainty. In addi-
ton to such necessary amendments as
will not change rates of duty, l am still
very decidedly in favor of putting coal
and iron upon the free list. So far as
the sugar schedule is concerned, 1 would
be glad, under existing aggravations, to
see every particle of difierential duty
in favor of refined sugar stricken out of
our tariff law. IF with all the favor
now accorded the sugar refining inter-
est in our tariff laws it still languishes
to the extent of closed reineries
and thousands of discharged workmen,
it would seem to present hopeless case
for reasonable legislative aid. What
ever else is done or omitted / earnestly
recommend that the additional duty of
one-tenth ola cent per pound laid upon
sugar imported from countries paying q
bounty on its export, be abrogated. 1t
seems to me that exceedingly important
considerations point to the propriety OF
this amendment.
With the advent of o new tariff poll
cy not only calculated to relieve the
consumers of our land in the cost of
their daily life, but to invite better
development of American thrift and
create for us closer and more profitable
commercial relations with the rest of the
worlds follows as logical and impera-
tive necessity that we should at once
remove the chief, if not the only, obsta-
Gle which has so long prevented our
participation in the foreign carving
