POLITICAL GOSSIP.

primaries seeking the nomination for
county commissioner, did so with the
full intention of abiding by the result
thereof. Like every man who has due
regard for the equity of our primary
election. / accepted that result, and an,

Republican principles and the Repub-
lican party and its candidates as any
one can be. l desire my friends, the
thousands of them who supported my
candidacy in the primaries, to know
this, assuring them that my wish is for
the success of every man whom the
Republicans have nominated.

Volcanoes and the caaaI.

Geologists say volcanoes may readily break out at any point in the Andean and Rocky mountain chain-the back bone of two continents. This may oc- cur at one point as well as another, so far as geologists can see and weigh the forces of the earth's interior-at Panama as well as at Nicaragua, at Colon as wAll as at Greytown. There are no active volcanoes at Panama, but less than two hundred miles away there are sleeping ones that have been very destructive. Neither in Nica- ragua nor in Costa Rica is there an active volcano, but about two hun dred miles away, in Guatemala, there has been a volcanic outbreak accom- panied by earthquakes.
 Honors are thus easy. The Nica- ragua route is no more endangered by earth disturbances than Is the Panama route-either may be overwhelmed in that way, but neither will probably be in this century. No disaster of a volcanic nature occurred in the last century that would have crippled a canal laid on either route, And as for earthquakes, the danger, says the last commission, 'is essentially the same" and that in neither case is it sufficient to prevent the construction of a canal.
 The opponents of any canal are working the volcano for all it is worth, and a considerable more besides, and their attacks upon the Nicaragua route are not inspired by a love for the other route, but by a desire to embarrass and weaken the Nicaragua route so that no canal at all will be authorized this year. Delay is what they are waiting for, and not a choice between two rival routes.

Branch National Banks.

The Missouri and Kansas bankers, sitting in convention at Kansas City, promptly objected to the centralization scheme now pending in Congress, known as the system of branch bank ing. The Missouri bankers declared it "unwise, unsafe, unsound and detri- mental to banking interests of the United States" while the Kansas bank CTS declared it "unpatriotic, un-Ameri. can, unbusinesslike, and as tending tc establish a monopoly of the great business of banking in the hands of a few millionaires to the exclusion oi the Vest" These expressions of opin. ion sufficiently show that the Western and Southern bankers do not propose | to be hitched on to few Eastern l banks as mere incidents and toll gatherers for them.
 It is claimed that the lesser banks would in this way have the support of the parent bank when money be. comes light or a panic prevails, but this advantage which might not be effective at all times is offset by the centralizing tendencies of the proposed system. England employs 1t, but Eng land Is a small country in which cen tralization Is feasible and desirable. What suits England might not suit Is no danger that the experiment will be speedily attempted, and much dis cussion must precede any such radi- cal change in the national banking system.
