AGAINST NATIONAL BANKS.
To the Editor of the Globe:

To the Editor of the Globe:
You take the Bryan Democrats to tasl, bo
cause they do not show a proper spirit
towards the Democrats who voted for Me-
hlnIey, or Palmer, which was the sama
snlng: You are right in saying we should NOT
Ieei vlndlctive' towards our former com
adueS, ana II is true we may need their helm
four years from now but the best course
is Tor US to merely let them alone. There
are not enough of them to start again with
tb ue e s3d up petition to put ticket in
tne nelo. Their party is dead, no matter
what It's name was, and it is not showing il
proper respect to keep on heaping abuse on
1ne men VINO tried to do their duty and
persisted in the attempt. Let us drop a tear
over their graves and remember only their
many virtues. 49,
They can neither help nor harm us again.
ana we freely forgive the one great ezra
tum" of their lives. We would respect them
more If they had all voted straight for NC
hlniey and monopoly. for rottenness and
r1otlng in high places and for every thing
that the o b has always included in the
expressive word McKinleyism. l mean we
would respect them more as leaders and
democrats, but we do not deny that they
are deserving of respect for honesty, and a
disregard OF personal interests which some
might call recklessness
we agree with the G / b and advise the
Bryan men to, in future, disturb them not
out let them rest, way down in the grave
where Mckinley has laid them"
we may nave mixed up our poetical quo
rect US.
We also agree with correspondent who
said he had hope of the G o b yet" We
think the paper has been generally fair to
all sides in allowing them to state and de-
fend their opinions in it's columns even IL op-
posed to the views of it's editorial staff both
during the campaign and since election. We
have never included the G l e in our list
OF the slain Of the battle OF November 3d. and
we trust 1t will again be wholly on the side
of the people in 1900; it may have erred in the
past, but was not Intentionally Immoral
on the subject Of f16 to IT, nor 16 to any
thing else.
We dislike "paternalsm" more If possible
than the G | e does, but is not the national
bank act an instance of 'paternalism I" worse
In its results than anything the populists
even have done in Kansas?
What law now on the statutes of any state
is more paternalistic" than the act of
congress, approved February %, 1862 estab-
fishing the national banks? This was a "war
measure" and even at that date passed the
senate by a majority of only two. Ought the
system to be continued indefinitely?
We do not ask these questions in order to
"entangle' the IL o b.e in it's .'talk, . but
only to get information. Ben. Franklin once
said when inquired Of as to how he came to
have so much knowledge, that it was because
he was never ashamed to ask questions. b.

PLATT OWNS TT.

There is strong taste of humor
about the Republican conference held
recently in New York city, resulting in
the selection Of Mr.. Joseph H. Choate
as suitable representative of the En-
pire state in the United States senate
The action Of these amateurs is
eminently creditable to their hearts.
but not to their heads. Mr. Choate Is
the best possible selection that the
party could make. He is eminent in
legal ability and irreproachable in
character. He would help to restore
the state of New York to that emf
nence in the senate which she enioyed
before politics fell to so low a level.
But Mr.. Choate stands about as much
chance of being the next senator as he
does of going to heaven in a chariot of
fire. The Republican party is in full
control of the political machinery Of
New York and owns the state legis-
lature, and the Republican party's
name in that state is Plat.
There has never been any supremacy
Democratic or Republican, Tammany
or anti-Tammany, in that state that
can compare in the absoluteness of its
rule to the dictatorship of Platt. The
people who bewail the weaknesses of
republican institutions find no ar
gument so strong as the power which
men like this petty New York boss
are able to acquire, to hold and to
strengthen year by year in a state
which stands at the head Of the Union
in wealth, in business and in it's as
sumption Of intelligence. great big
boss like Conkling can at least give a
reason for his being. A man of un-
scrupulous instincts, but of wonderful
executive ability and quick to shift and
turn with the varying currents of pop
ular opinion like Mr.. Quay, of Penn
sylvania, let's US see how, by delicate
manipulation, as well as by vulgar
deals with the baser elements, he main
tains his seat.
But Plat is an enigma. His first
appearance In politics was comic. He
has done nothing to redeem himself.
Yet from his advent with cap and bells,

WHO IS MIR. AUSTIN.
Police Gather In Prominent Of
fetal Who Gives That Name.

At o'clock this morning Lieut. Pothen
ana Sergeant Mccarthy arrested on a charge
of disorderly conduct two women and a man.
The trio, when booked at the station, gave
their names as Sam Austin, Anna Clark and
Lily Ford. Austin was much put out over
the arrest, and after a consultation with
Capt. Rouleau, put up $50 as bail for the
party. The bail of each was fixed at SIS, but
as there was no change handy the bill was
retained by the officials. Neither Lieut. Po-
then nor Sergeant Mccarthy would say any
thing about the arrest further than Austin
was prominent official and if they gave up
who he was under what circumstances the
arrest occurred, they were liable to lose
their positions. Austin, as he gave his
name, did not wait for the receipts for the
bail money, these papers being taken in
charge by Lieut. Pothen. Had Mr. AI1stin
explained who he was before arriving at the
station he would have saved himself and
friends deal of annoyance, and also $45 in
cash.
