The idea of this extraordinary arrange

considered in his true sequence. First
the sorter should be remembered and
tho state addtesses put on. Then

postman should be less fagged than
usual, it will be ohscivcd the stieet

The cunu'iig or the Omaha bankers is
cleaily leeognlable in a scheme for the
oigaui.atiou or iiMisBouii Itivcr Clem
tug Mouse association, in the inteiest of
which a meet lug was held in St. Joe on
Wednesday. The rollowing cities have
been invited to become nioinlieiH or the
pioposed association: Sioux City,
Omaha, Lincoln, Leavenwoith, Alehl
Him, St. loo mill Kansas t"iy. At the
St. Joe meeting- C. II. Iiuhoir, inanagei
ot the Lincoln Cleating House nssocia

with the tactics lately employed by the
Omaha banks in their clients to pteju

or this city by unjust disciimiualiou,
the principal routine or the gtaball
policy having been discussed at some
length in these columns. Hut nolw ilh
standing all that Omaha has Hum rat
done the Lincoln banks have not suf
foietl. U anything they have gained.
Country coiicHpoiidentsgeuetally iiudoi
slaml the situati and the fact that
Lincoln banks pay thieo per cent on
balances while Omaha only pays two.
together with other advantages Lincoln
is able to oiler in the way of accommoda
lion has enabled the banks in this city
to mom than hold their own.
It does not icquiie any particular pre
spicarity to bo able In discover in the
latest emanation fiom the Omaha Ilium
cieis, a deteiuiinatioii lo accomplish by
sttategy what they have failed to ac
complish by open watfare. IT Lincoln
goes into tho association she will be sub
ject to tho tiiles or the same, and the
Miles are largely dictated by Omaha.
Without going into details at the pre'
out time, It may bo stated that it is pio
posed to enforce a uniCoim into or two
per cent on the deposits or countiy
banks, and other regulations distuHtefiil
to the banks in Lincoln. Some of the
pioposed iiiles of minor impoi tance,
however, aie not objectionable.
Omaha bankeisareevideutly actuated
by the idea that if Lincoln can be pre
vented from olfeiing a higher rate of
ioteiest on country bank balances and
lestrmned fiom holding out any special
inducements, the business of the banks
in the towns or thestate would naturally
leave Lincoln and go to Omaha, it being
tho largest city and having the most ex
tensive banking facilities. In other
woids, the pioposed Missouri Kivoi
doming House association appamntly
cloaks a scheme on tho part of the
Omaha, St. Joe and Kansas City banks
to take business away from tho banks
in the smaller citiesniinieil Tor their own
direct benellt.
Soino or tint changes advocated are
undoubtedly or value, and it may be
that monies may eventually shape them
selves in sin h a manner that it would
be advisable Tor Linei In to enter the
association; but just now them is a reel
ing in this city that Lincoln, ulmaily
being disci ununited against by Omaha
and the larger cities, has nothing to loxo
by stay ing out, and apparently quite as
little to gain by going into tho associa
tion. ((.V1IM.H TltO.M LAhC WI'LK.)
