We give this explanation OF the Press
as an interesting statement, whether or

The Atlanta Constitution prints the fol-
lowing interesting special from Columbus,
Ga:
Nuscosee farmers. both white and
black, were in town to-day in numbers.
and it seemed that every one came to
turn loose money. It was no unusual event
during the day 10 see one enter store,

"One negro farmer went into store.
paid his obligations in full, and had s173
left, to spend as he liked. Another negro
paid $3.50. the principal and interest OF a
loan Of Sl10. and had a. neat sum Of money
left. He thought that he could rake up
couple of bales of cotton more around
his farm the money from which will be
all his own. y well-llnown merchant,
who is also a planter, states that he had
not sold a bale Of his cotton yet, but was
holding it for 10 cents or higher. Things
were brisk all over tbs city. The mer-
chants generally reported that they had
had a splendid trade.
-Four years ago the Constitution was tell
ing its readers that there could be no
prosperity under the gold standard, and
that unless the mints were opened TO the
free coinage Of silver money would get
scarcer. the price of the farmers products
would decrease, and disaster would over
take the whole country. How does this
item OF news from Columbus strike YOU
in the light of the Constitutions prophecy
four years ago?

CURRENT TOPICS.

In connection with the suffrage laws Of
the Southern States attention has been
directed to the fact that the State of
Oregon. at its election last June, failed
to repeal a provision in its Constitution
excluding negroes from that State. The
law reads:
NO. free negro or mulatto not residing
in this State at the time OF the adoption
of this Constitution shall come, reside
or be within the State, hold any real es-
tate or make any contract or maintain
any such therein. The legislative assem-
bly, shall provide by penal laws for the
removal. by public officers of all such me-
groes and mulattoes and for their effec-
tual exclusion from the State ana for
the punishment of persons who shall bring
them into the State or employ o. harbor

THE NEW YORK BANK DEFALcA.

The arguments made for the national
bank system as one that should SUPER
sede and cXtirpate the State bank system
are two. The first is that its notes, being
practically endorsed by the United States
Government. are always good at their face
In every part OF the Union. The second is
that under the national bank system the
United States Government sends inspec-
tors TO examine the affairs of the rational
banks. and thus rotten ones are at once
exposed. and the public is thereby guarded
against unsound banks. When these ar
gumcnts are critically examined they are
both found TO have no substance what
ever in them. and the fact that they have
SO long imposed upon the public, and con-
tue to impose upon it. is a singular Illus
tration OF the way in which the public is
Guiled by slams.
As 10 the first of these arguments, the
feature of the national bank note which
country. produces no practical result that
IS worth serious attention. Payments made
10 one State for goods purchased in an
other are not made with bank notes or
any other form, OF cash. They are all made
with exchange. The national bank note
cuts no figure, therefore, in the commerce
that goes on between the States. The
"good-all-oveT-th e-country" feature is a
convenience 10 travellers, but they could
easily project themselves by carrying coin
and bank checks on the places they go to-.
This plea has, therefore, but little practi-
cal Importance.
The second argument is just as deceptive,
and. perhaps. more SO. Ii is qucs tonaDle
if the Governments bank examiners have
ever been of any practical value. In the
first place they are all political appoint
nents, and comparatively few of the
knowledge and capacity to make 4 real
examination of a banks affairs, ii they
had the industry and application necessa-
ry for it. In the second place, to make
an examination of banks affairs that
would be worth anything. each book in
the bank must be gone into thoroughly,
and in addition to determining upon the
character of each entry, to see whether
II Is a jee,ltlilld tc OIe VI iCl, liit
voucher for each entry must be inspected
10 see If ii contains the entry. To make
such an eXaminat ton as this of one bank
requires vast amount of time and labor,
and, when it is considered that quite a
number of banks is assigned to each
examiner, the hopelessness of getting any
real examination from the political ap-
po:ntments that are made is at once
seen.
These views are now brought into sharp
public notice by the defalca ton just made
in New York. The note teller of the First
National Bank is found TO have stolen
100000; his stealinss run over twenty
years; his accounts have been regularly in
spected by the Governments examiners,
and not week passed after they approved
of his accounts before his immense defal-
cations come to light. OF what value is
a system which can allow such results as
this? And this case is not exceptional.
Similar ones are happening every Gay all
over the land. The only two arguments
for the national bank system go up into
smoke as soon as they are critically ex-
am;nad
