By the bank statement of July the total capital of the national banks was re ported aa $477,000,000. , . There ap pears to bo a tendency towards a moro rapid development of private banking th&u of our national bank system , deposits and capital in the last year ahowiug a greater percentage of in crease in the former. This is evidence that the profits of banking under our national lawa have greatly diminished and that the advantages of circulation are not coniidered as great aa they once were by investing capjtaluta. " " . DISAFrECXION IN THE RANKS Mr. Blaine has opened the Mnino campaign by ono of these nggrossivo and powerful political speeches for which ho ia BO noted. The liberal oxtractn published in TUB DP.K'S special dispatches give a com prehensive idea of its char acter. It bases this appeal for popu lar support for the republican party on it's record and dofiea his opponents to point to a single measure calcu lated to meet the national need which during the past twenty-one years han been introduced into the body of our statutes by the democracy. With the cry for a now party , which ia being hoard more and moro frequent ly nowadayn , Mr. Blaine has plainly no sympathy. Ho be lieves existing party organizations supposed to voice the pooplo'a needs , and ia convinced that the few camp followers which have traveled in the wake of the majority , and brought moro or loss discredit upon the repub lican party , have not to any great de gree Impaired its usefulness or injured its efficiency aa an organization. Mr. Blaino'a views , it must not bo forgot ten , are these of a strong partisan , and partisanship ia always moro or loss one-aided and contracted in its vision. The disaffection existing in both political parties ia Creator , wo imagine , than party leaders are pre pared to admit. Thnro ia a ques tioning among a class of people plo who , while not very con spicuous on the political stage , alill take a warm and intelligent interest in public affairs , whether either of the existing party organizatitina are not unfitted to grapple with the great problems of the day. Aa stated by a recent correspondent , these problems are "an honest and therefore cconom- cal expenditure of the public moneys , an upright , business-like reform of the civil service , a wiser readjustment of taxation and a moro practical provision 'or the increase of international trade and maritime commerce. " . It is a feei ng that the cowardice of party load ers and their followers in congress alone prevents cither the republican and democratic parties from grappling with these problems , which is largely responsible for the nonlitnont demand- ng a now party. That demand is not likely to cul minate in general and concerted ao- ion for some yoara to como. Experi ence proves that political parties ou a ; roat scale cannot bo made to ordor. Ihoy spring into being either in con- acquonco of some striking occurrence hat stirs up the popular mind as the now republican party came into existence - once in consequence of the repeal of , ho Missouri compromise. Or they are the slow evolution from the con- uaion caused by the disontcgration of old organizations which no longer moot the popular requirement. ) There are signs .that the present is a ransition period which will either result in radical reforms m existing 3arty methods o'r in the formation at Homo future day , not far distant , of a party , brave enough and strong enough , because of their bravery , to grapple with the isauc-a which are daily becoming moro clearly defined to the pooplo. There are thousawlo of votora in the ranks of parties whoso allegiance hanga on H very alendor thread , but who do not deem it best to sever the connection be cause of their hope of parly reforma tion within the party linos. And there are other thousands who are hold within the ranks because of their fooling that any movement at the present time would bo premature and predestined to failure. The time is upon the loa ders of both the political parties when they will do well to consider what measures must bo taken to preserve their organization. Confidence in po litical measures and party management once lose is difficult to regain. The idea that the reins of government have fallen into the hands of a few ambitious aud not too scrupulous rep resentatives of the people , is making a headway which evidcnca itself In the independent movement through out the country. Isolated cases of revolt in the ntatoa ugainst Bossism ii spreading and may soon become a chain bngenough and strong enough to bend together a national movement. The issues of antimonopoly opoly and revenue reduction are call ing together thousands from the ranks of the republicans und democracy. Each and all of those movements rep resent an element which demands party reform on the alternative of re volt from the nominations of party loaders. Of ono thing wo may bo certain for all political history proves it when parties no longer voice the wishes of the majority they are not long in taking their places among min ority organizations or else in ceasing altogether to exist , THE Z.OJSS BY STRIKES. Of the three great strikes inaugu rated lost spring , each of which had strong popular support und sympathy , none have proved successful. The freight handlers' strike failed because the corporations employing the strik ers took advantage of thn incoming utroara of immigrants to fill their places with men out of employment and who know nothing and cared nothing for the griovauccn of the laborers. The great Oohocs strike and the strike of the iron workers were unsuccessful bccauso the condi tion of the market permitted the mill owners to shut down production and live on their accumulated capital , while the operators were starved into submission. The struggle in each CMC was a long and a bitter ono , but it waa vain , because the odda were too heavy at the very outset against the striking workingmen for any sub stantial hope of success. Conservative estimates place the loss during the past year to the workingmen ingmon in this country , crowing out ot strikes , at 80,000,000. This loss has fallen upon all who share with laborers and mechanics the fruits of their toll. It has been felt in every line of business which gains a portion of iU support from the daily earnings of our wage workers. Production stim ulates production , and fho lack of tha atimulas which six millions of dollars naturally brings has been seriously evidenced in every section of the country whcro labor troubles have boon in progress. The struggle of labor within the past year has gained moro sympathy than over before in our history. The press has very gen erally boon on its aido. The theory that workingmen have no right to contiauo to control wages has boon exploded in fifty of our loading jour nals , It haa boon well argued that to say that a workingman is bound to ac cept whatever may bo offered him or atop aside if someone else is willing to take it , is equivalent to saying that lie must surrender himself completely to the solfiahnoaa of capital and per mit the standard of wagca to bo de termined by the most triftlosa and in different in the ranV.s of .labor. Ono great result scorns to bo evolv ing itself out of these costly strug gles of the workingmen to elevate their position by their own efforts , and that ia a growing tendency towards an arbitration of disputes be tween employers aud employe. This plan has always been advocated by THE BEE whenever possible. All Treat advances have boon the results of compromise , and the qroateat ad vance in securing happier relations be tween capital and labor in England and the continent has como from a submission ot mattnra under dispute to boards of arbitration , where de cision has generally been accepted by 30th the contending parties. No ono 3oliovca tint this will over prove a complete solution of a great problem. But it will go far towards preventing ; ho long and bitter conflicts , which , in ; ho end generally result in serious .ccuniary losa to the ono side and ; reat inconvenience * to the other. THE O&D DODQE. It ia an old dodge of the railroad oolitic il managers to divert attention rom the call for anti-monopoly legia- ation by forcing upon party leadoia other and losa important issues No sooner haa the demand como from the people for lawa regulating railroads than the monopolies suddenly take a burning interest in prohibition , or jo into wild hysterics over the injus tice done to women in refusing them the nuflrago. By this trick they have often boon nuccessful in raising bogus iuauoa , which subordinate nn overpowering public sentiment , and undue the cover of the smoke raised by their action , in es caping untouched by unfriendly legis lation. This plan is now being put in suc cessful operation in California by the Central Pacific managers , who have beguiled several republican county conventions into urging the state con vention to insert a plank in the plat form in favor of "Sunday as a day for rest and recreation. " The San Fran cisco Chruniclc assorts that "Not only has this boon accomplished , but what is moro to the purpose of the men who put up the job , the Sunday it- sue haa become to all appoarancoa the paramount ono. The discussion of the extortions and discriminations of the railroad haa been almost entirely aban doned by the interior press , and whole columns are now devoted to the Sun day it sue. Republican and demo cratic politicians , are now in structed to swing themselves on "tho Sunday business , " and by their clamor drown the anti-monopoly cry. " The Chronicle pointa out that if the republicans wish to win in the coming contest they muat not subordinate the burning anti-monopoly issue. They should point out to the temper ance people the utter insincerity of any plank thai could possibly bo in serted in the platform with conaent of the mass nf the f arty. They should aay that , if the aui Union t ia unanimous enough in California to desire a re straint to bo placed uptn the free sale of liquorf the 'minority resides in every cityf.oonutj , town and township government to cuioroco such restraint.

KEEP IT BEFORE THE PEOPLE- When Vavontino was registrar of the West Point land office , ho robbed and dwindled the homesteaders by playing into the hands of an organized gang of land sharks. This system of plunder nnd blackmail of home * stcadora continued under Valentino's succeBtors until his bosom friend and partner in rascality , Doctor Peter Schwonck , WAS overhauled nnd ousted. Valentino , with the most brazen audacity , made a dcspo- rate effort to prevent Schwonck'a re moval , and finally , after Schwenok was forced to resign , ho imposed on Secretary Teller and Commissioner Itaum by representing Schwonck as * a political martyr. It was Vftlontino'o man Friday , Schwonck , who was sent from Washington to Liccoln on a mission to procure a cortificd census blank which was deliberately forged nnd when detected disgraced Nebraska in the eyes of the whole nation. Does any uano man doubt that Valentino selected Schwotik for this criminal errand - rand ? Will any reputable man dare assert Valentino was ignorant ot the fact that there was no state census taken in 187" , and hence the pretense under which ho tried to seat Majors was a sham aud a fraud ? After Valentino had drawn his fall pay as judge of the Sixth district for the time ho had served ho presented a claim to the legislature for salary during the time which Judge Griffey had acted as judge , and for which Griffey had already boon paid. Valentino's parsonal ftp- peal to the legislature , and his promises of rewards in the shape of federal patronage , resulted in an al lowance of $1,875 , which was niado in the bill for the relief of E. K. Valentino tine , passed by the legislature of 1877. This downright robbery of the tax payers nobody has as yet dared to dofond. Valentino has been in Congress nearly four yoara and during that time his business has chiefly boon to hunt for spoils , log roll jobs and sup port monopoly legislation. An active ally of the star route ring , jjho chitnpionod | the star route swindle in a memorable speech which was inspired by the Brady-Doraoy gang. On nearly all measures tending to reduce taxation and lessen the bur dens of the producing and industrial classes Valentino's vote is recorded in fvor of reckless extravagance. Since his advent in congress his solo aim has been to domineer in politics through aystematio bulldozing and corrupt use of patronage. Ho has debased the public service by recommending to office dishonest and disreputable men who wore totally unQt for any place , and he is the confidential associate of reprobates and rogues. This is in brief the record of fho man , who Books' tfak'orce himself upon the people of Nebraska for a third term in Congress. PERSON ALITIE 3.

The headquarters of the department of the Platte was unusually gloomy yesterday in anticipation of the exodus - odus of BO largo a number of the moat popular members of the staff. Col. Uoyall baa boon ao long in the depart ment , and through his length of ser vice and splendid record is so evident ly known that every ono regrets to lose his companionship. Major Martin's genial hand grasp and cheery tones will bo greatly missed from the adju tant general's oflico. Captain Bourke will perhaps be especially missed by the newspaper men to whom no'was a perfect mine of information , illustrat ing his stories with a ready How of wit and humor which made them doubly interesting and instructive while his unvarying cordiality and readiness to oblige even at the expense of his own personal convenience will not soon bo forgotten by the fraternity. A host of friends in Omaha social circles will re gret his change of station and his brother oflicera will join the civilians in wishing him a pleasant journey , new honors and a happy homo m Arizona. Captain Roberta will not easily bo replaced in the dopatrmont. As an emergency man he was unequalled , often filling the oflices of aide-do cs amp , assistant adjutant general and judge advocatn when occasion de manded. His doak in the room of the adjutant general was rarely unoccu pied and his unvarying courtesy made him a general favorite with all with whom he came in contact. So much has boon said of General Orook and of his relations to our people that nothing need hero be added. The last act of the general was to recommend an increase of the Omaha garrison and the enlargement of the post , and both ho and General Sheridan worked bravely to that end before the last session of congress. To-day the general issued the follow ing : PABEWELL OEDEU. HEADQUAHTEUS DEPARTMENT OF THE TLATTE , 1 OMAHA , NKHUASKA , August 30,1882 j General Order .No. 17.

MINBEN IT * WAYS. The County Seat of Kearney Dual- lies ? , Base Ball md Braaa Bund Briefs. Kearney county , Neb. , Aug. 128. Minden , the county seat of Kearney county , has been neglected nnd has not received the notica due to ita size and importance. Thia may be duo in part to the fact of Minden being located away from the line of any railroad , It has boon demon strated in this caao at toast that it is possible to have a good town even whore there is no railroad. Tbo crops in the vicinity are as tine as any in the state and business is proportionally good. On Saturday the last , the republi cans of the Lincoln precinct appointed primaries to the county convention , to bo hold at Minden on Soptembar 2. The following were appointed in favor of Judge Post for Congress and L. A. Kent for secretary of atato : Goo. Harding , A. 0. Christensen , S. 'P. Tuttle , W. W. Wood , S. 0. Stewart , nnd E. G. Godfrov. For assessor , G. L. Godfrey. For road commissioners , L. A. Kent 22(1 ( LiU- rent ? Kjerulff. There ia not much doubt but what Judge Post will receive ceive the support of the county. The county tenchorainstitute closed on Fridayafter a two weeks' session at this place. About thirty teachers were in attendance and the aeasion was made very instructive. W. W. Wood , 'of Minden , had charge of the institute and is deserving of much credit for its success. Prof. Wulkor , of Rule , took a prominent part , and added much to ttio general interest. The state superintendent was expected to bo present but failed to put m an appearance. ljrof. Walker has been engaged to teach the Minden school for the en suing year. The Sunday school county convention was held at this place on Saturday and Sunday. It was well attended by Sunday school workers both scholars and teachers. The con vention was conducted by Mr. Stev enson , atato Sunday school mission ary. The reporta of the work done in the county the paat year were very encouraging. The model Sunday school waa diecuased and many good points brought out. Base ball has its devotees in Min den as elaewhere , and the boys are good at the bat. They have played several good games with the clubs in the vicinity. We would be doing an injuatico were we to neglect mention ing the brass band. They have boon moro changes of late in the band that have put it back more , but for all that it is full of good music. One drawback to the. town is Ha mail facilities. At present it receives its mail by the way of Kearney , a dis tance of twenty miles which has to be made by atagu , it should be so ar ranged that they could receive their mail from Newark , which ia on the B. & M. R. 11 and ia only ton miles dis tant , lit that way the mail would reach Minden the same night instead of the next night as under the present atrangoment. Building is progressing rapidly , and if it continues Minden will soon double in size. The Kearney County Gazette ia building a new office. S. P. Tuttle and S. B. Robinson are each preparing to build dwelling houses. C. II. Miller ia about to put an addi tion on bin hardware store. Joseph Pinckham will erect a largo barn later in the fall. Ohas.
