Mr.. Cannon in PENNSYLVANIA.

Pennsylvania Republicans are
loyal to their party. More unthink-
ing. more unreasonable loyalty could
hardly be conceived. 1t is no won
der, then, that they are rejoicing in
the appearance of Speaker Cannon
and Chairman Sherman under the
banner of the organization" Half
Of them only want an excuse to
swallow the whole dose-gang,
thievery Capitol scandals and all.
An endorsement of the regular
party from Washington would be an
abundant excuse. Failing that, they
will accept and act upon an endorse
ment which is strained until it
cracks.
Mr.. Cannon's address in Philadel-
phia Thursday evening provided the
endorsement strain and all. 1t was
remarkable for the following plea
for regularity" and the following
disregard Of every other interest in
American politics:
On November 1 hope to hear that
Pennsylvania has given 10000 majority
for Stuart and the whole Republican
ticket There is not money enough I'm
the whole Commonwealth Of Pennsyl-
vania-nay, in the whole World-to
swerve the integrity of the candidates
on the Republican ticket.
The Lincoln party is being used by
Democrats 10 aid them in usurpng The
balance of power in the Republican
H.F IN los H. #H
ers of Roosevelt. The Democratic plat
form adopted two years ago is not in
accord with the principles OF the Presl-
dent. Therefore, how can the Lincoln
party stand for the idea Of Roosevelt
If yOI want 10 hurt your Industries
turn down the Republican party and the
Republican ticket.
That these are the sentiments Of
the President is not 10 be taken on
faith. He has had abundant oppor-
tunity TO speak for himself. He was
recently at the State Capital. Sena-
tor Penrose journeyed often enough
TO the White House. Theodore
Roosevelt did not need Speaker Can
non for mouthpiece.
The only thing the President said
at Harrisburg which can be CON
strued as having any bearing on the
campaign now current is this:
You have by law protected the State
treasury from degradation and conserved
the public moneys for use only Tor the
public interest
How was that done? Chiefly by
the election of a Democrat as State
treasurer. The legislation which
followed his overthrow of the or
ganization Mr.. Cannon thinks so
precious was a hurried attempt to
leave as little as possible for the re-
former TO uncover. Yet the chief
issue in this campaign-after that
of regularity one of the dis
coveries made by the new treasurer.
In the words of the Philadelphia
Press it is:
That a board Of officers had spent
100000 without any specific appToPria-
l ton. without any actual accounting
without any public knowledge - and
that, too. whom the charitable InstItu-
tions of the State were starved on the
plea OF want of revenue.
Mr.. Cannon might easily be in
better business.

SATURDAY. OCTOBER 20. 1866.
The Districts Banking Laws.

Strong and conservative banking
interests in the District of Column
bia succeeded at the last session of
Congress in securing passage of a
law for effective regulation of the
banking business in this city. 1t is
a curious fact that until that law
passed there was no statute for the
proper supervision of banks other
than national institutions. 1t was
too often the accomplishment OF
people OF Il speculative turn of mind
10 get charters wherever they
chose, and then open a banking es-
tablishment in the National Capital.
responsible to nobody, guaranteed
by nobody, and utterly without GER
tification of character, solvency or
capacity. Year after year this con-
dition continued, until at length a
determined effort brought about the
passage OF a new law a few months
ago.
Under this act the Comptroller of
the Currency is given supervision
over all banks and banking institu-
4ions in the District, whether they
be national or State or private in
character. and under whatever laws
they may be organized. Thus the
District is the only place within
which the national banking authori-
ties have authority over State
banks; and this anomalous condition
has already opened up some uncer-
tainties, disclosed in connection
with the closing of the local branch
of the Aetna Banking and Trust
Company.
The Aetna concern has headquar-
2ers and its parent banking house
in Montana, but is organized under
Wet Virginia law. There seems to
&c very little in the assets held by
the Washington branch which would
justify anticipation of consider
able dividends TO depositors. And
whether the assets of the parent in
stitution may be held for the claims
against the Washington branch is a
question not very clear under the
new law. Neither is it plain what
authority the Comptroller has in
such a case as this to enter, exam
ing, and. if need be, close. an institu-
tion operating in another State but
with a branch here.
These questions are of the largest
Importance in connection with the
operations of the new banking law.
The Aetna concern was small and
with limited business, and its
troubles have created only the
slightest ripple in local business
circles But it is none the less i'm
Portant that the question thus
raised be settled. either by a ruling
constituting the new law. or by an
amendment 10 il.

Commentaries In, Not On, tie Bible.

Even so serious and prosaic an affair
rs the writing Of a Biblical commentary
may have its romantic side. When the
late Bishop Westcott died il was supposed
that he had left In manuscript a COM
pIete commentary on the EpisJle 10 the
Ephesians, and under this sUppOsi-iOn
his executors entrusted the editing OF
the material TO the Rev. }. NJ Schu-hof-
Mr. SchulhOf soon discovered how
ever. that the notes on Chapter II were
missing, so that the expected pOsJlu-
nous commentary was apparently in no
sense complete. In spite OF this gap in
The material. Mr.. SChulhOf was urged 10
publish the commentary as he found it
a course which he Obstinately refused 10
take. so that for eighteen months work
on the projected book was at a stand
still
Everything was explained, however.
and Mr.. Schulhofs course was justified
when the missing notes were eventually
discovered by the bishops son, the Rev
Henry WcscoJJ. between the pages of
Bible which ne had Inherited from his
fathers library.
