Governments Depends on Banks.

In answer to a query by the Omaha
Bee: If the government may at some
time be compelled to abandon gold re-
demption of its paper obligations, WY
may not the banks also?" the New
York Evening Pos! makes this reply:
Surprising that the cause of sus-
pension is the same in both cases, viz. /,
a shortage of gold to redeem with,
which of the two is most likely to Oh
tain it, In every instance where tho
government has run Shorthand there
have been four such within four years
it hus had RECOURSE 10 the banks to
obtain the means to continue gold pay
ments. SO it appears that in every such
case the banks have had the means and
have put the government on it's loot
when it was lettering to it's fall? How
did this happen? Evidently because
the banks had car ital, whereas the
government had none. Anybody who
has assets can always command good at
some price. il is the function Of banks
to have their assets in such shape and
form that they can be quickly turned
into gold. Governments have no assets.
They have only ths borrowing power
and the taxing power. As long as they
are in good credit they can borrow, and
that IL what our government has done
four times in four years. So 1t appears
that as regards ability TO redeem, the
government depends on the hanks
whonevsr pinch comes. IL pinch
should come tomorrow it would have
no other recourse.

THE CHRLsrIANI.

The Christiana swells with pride,
Her hopes without alloy;
Her every ripple, every glide,
Is eloquent with joy.
For years and years, her only fate
Has been to get the jeers
OF Board of Trade and shippers hate,
UnmoV-ed by her tears.
For now and then her channel shifts
And vessels scratch their hulls, d."
In creeping through her muddy riffs,
Between the swearing lulls.
Then Uncle Samuel takes hand,
Aud with his great long arm,
Extracts ton or two of sand,
To clear the stream OF harm.
But now her fate becomes more bright,
Her future fills with hone;
Her glist'ning check shines in the light,
She finds no cause to NOPE.
Proud, proud is she. her surface decked
With craft in gala dress;
The breezes playing there unchecked,
With wanton playfulness.

A vessel built for war; III

Just off the rivers shore?
Yet not with thought of war to frown,
The Wilmington lies there; ~
But, honoted namesake of the town,
The towns rich gift to bear.
A happy gift, this silver dish
This bowl for lemonade

In one good work to aid.
In truth, for civic pride it stands

And when the BOAT in distant lands,
To wars stern task must rise

Upon this gift of ours;
And know our hearts are with them then,
Through all their stormy hours,

astonishing invasion Of the rights Of the citizen
which seemed more likely TO promote resent

they want to do which the injunction as now re-
