botfli.nlng of the present joar. From
information furnished at thoolllco of the
comptroller of the currency it appears
thnt the total number of suspensions
docs not exceed eighty-flvo , whereas
guciowork has mailo the numlwr more
than twloa ai groat. Tlio correct llguros
nro certainly largo enough , and yet
when tno fact ia stated that the entire
number of national banks in the country
is upward of 3,900 , suspensions and fail
ures to the extent of only about 2
per rent cannot bo regarded as very
rcnurkablo under existing conditions.
On the contrary , such a i ecord may
fairly bo accepted as uvldonca of a most
creditable cato and conservatism in the
nmuagomont of the national banks as a
whole , the tendency of which should bo
to g\o ! them a stronger claim to public
confldonco.
H is to bo borne in mind that all the
banks which have jteldeil to the finan
cial stress did not fall. A considerable
propottion of thorn closed tholr doors as
a measure of protection to depositors and
stockholders and most if not all of them
will lesiunooperations in utio time Some
have already done so , with very satis-
'actory ' results so far as securing n to-
urn of depositors and a. tommul of pub-
io confidence is concerned , and others
ire preparing to resume. It seems

Ireland there will be comparatively few
asos in which depositors will bo largo

banks are just rts secure now as when
hey wore issued a feattuo of the na
tional banking system which , if generally - _
orally known , is not so well appreciated
it should bo. Under the old state bank
cnrioncy system the case was quite dif-
bront. The holder of u state bank note
; ould never bo entirely sure of getting
ts face value and when the bank failed
that put an end to its notes , except in
are cases where they were i edeoinod at
a small percentage of their face value ,
mt such instances were rare 'Indeed.
The national bank note is not nflcotod to
ho slightest extent by the suspension or
failure of the bank that issues it.
A Washington dispatch states that
the responses of the banks to the last
Mil made by the comptroller for reports
) f their condition are eminently satis
factory. They show the banks to bo
in an exceptionally good condition ,
especially in the great financial contort ) .
Thrt comptroller of the currency re-
.marked in jcforonco to these reports
that they show that the national banks
generally are conducted on proper prin-
iples and along safe lines in a word ,
conservatively. This is certainly reas
suring and the care and caution which
have enabled the b.inks to make such a
showing is to bo commended , but it may
not bo out of place in this connection to
observe that there is some danger of the
banks carrying their conserva
tism to such an extreme that
bound and legitimate business iti-
teicsts will suffer. There is a
manifest tendency to do this which it
would not bo wl&o to encourage. The
banks should not only now , but at all
times , icfiibo to lend their support to
uncertain or speculative undertakings ,
but It h a gtoat mistake to withhold
aid fiom established enterprises that
ate on a bound basis.
ci.wium : J.Y TIIK sna.iTts.
It is reported that Mr. Cleveland is
urging upon democratic senators who
agree with him on the financial question
the necessity of adopting some eloture
rule which will enable the majority in
the .senate to teach a vote on questions
within a reasonable time. It has boon
the rule of the senate since the begin
ning of the government to place no
restriction upon debate. A question
before that body may bo discussed inter
minably and it is not necessary that
such dibcussion bo strictly confined to the
subject matter , nor is there any rule
limiting the number of times which a
senator may address the senate on any
question. Suoh restrictions would of
course In time exhaust the powers of an
obstructive minority to pi event action ,
but as they do not exist such a minor
ity , if it have the onduiunco , may talk a
question to death , as has been done often
in the senate.
Thin principle of unrestricted debate ,
which has always been maintained by
the senate , it is said the president regards
gards as being the greatest obstacle in
the way of a speedy lopoal of the silvot
purohiihfi law , and it is certainly an ob
stacle of no small proportions. Having
this to stand upon the free silvci
senators may talk a year if they are dis-
puscd to , or through both sessions of the
Fifty-third congress , in opposition to a
measure repealing the Sherman act
The two Nevada senators , Jones ant
Stewart , would bo good for at least a
score of spneches each , and doubtlos !
the Culm tide sonatois , Teller and Wol
coit , could be counted upon lor as manj
moio. The senators from the other sil
ver states would do their level best to
rival those from Nevada and Colorado ,
while i'elfor of Kansas and Allen of Nebraska -
braska would help to swell the free sll
vor chorus as often and \oliuninoiisl }
as possible. It is easy to see , therefore ,
that a small minority of dotot mined sen
ators iiiuv with the right of unrestriotoi :
debate utterly defy nnd eventually defeat
the niajoiity simply by talking , and as
to the free uihor men in the senate it Is
by no means certain that they are in i
mill irity. On the contrary , it is prob
able that when the time comes for them
to develop tholr stiongth it will bo
found that they constitute a majority.
In any event it is not likely that the
senate will depart from a rule which it
has always observed and which lias
grown to bo regarded as a distinguishing ,
and highly important characteristic o
that l dy. Attempts to ostablisl
cloture in the sonata have boot
made in the past , notably ono dur
ing thn session of the Fifty-firs
oongros , when the republican majority
desired to pass the federal elections bill
but such attempts have met with little
support. The lust attempt was vigor
ously fought by the democrat * ) , and sucl
of them as tuudo u record at that time
and arci titill In the senate will hardly

the principle of unrestricted senatorial
di'twto. As to the wisdom of the princi
ple there la undoubtedly ix good deal to
bo said on both sides of the ques
tion , but It is unquestionably a
fact that the right to tnlk to
any extent which senators have always
enjoyed is a prorogatUo they all appre
ciate , irrespective of party , and ono that
they will not be easily persuaded to sur
render. It is not at all incredible
that Mr. Cleveland may have suggested
moh a departure , and if ho has done so
it Is safe to predict that this is ono executive -
ocutivo request that will not bo complied
with.
up HAIMIUADS IN
That railway corporations nro nvorso
to paying tnxos so long as there is any
possible way of evading thorn is a propo
sition that has become almost a byword
the whole country over. Everywhere
the original systems , by which the prop-
ortj of railways was assessed in the
same manner and by the same bodies as
the property of private individuals is as
sessed , have been found to be unsatis
factory. The pernicious influence ox-
or ted by those great corporations
served to shift upon others the
burdens which in justice they
ought to have borne. To rem
edy these defects "now legislation has
been enacted in many slates providing
for separate assessments of railway
pi oporty by state boards who nro sup-
o cd to bo removed from the domlna-
ion of the tailwav corporations. While
mprovumont has boon noted under the
low regime , the railways have not
eased to. employ the same methods as
ormorly in order to escape taxation.
n some sections they have succeeded in
ecuring control of the state boards , in
thers they have fought the assessments
nch by inch through the courts. In
Cansas they are at the present moment
naking a legal contest against the now
aluation. In Indiana they aio gathor-
ng strength for a supreme struggle this
all.
all.Tho
The situation in Indiana , as described
a correspondent of the Chicago
'fcntltl ' , is substantially this : Up to
Sill ) the of the
property thirty-fivo rall-
oads having trackage within that state
vas assessed at less than $70.000,000. A
usv tax law and a new assessing board
, ho following year brought on a change
that was no loss than a veritable rovolu-
, ion. The valuation of the railroad
iroporty was rni-ed to $1(50,8011.000. ( and
copt at that figure for 1892. The tail-
oads protested. They went' to law and
, ho ultimate decision of the United
States supreme court is not expected
intil the coming October term. The
taxing ollicials , how over , have taken the
statements of the railroads and have
constructed from them some very interesting
toresting returns to support their
contention Unit the railroads have at
ast been put upon a proper nnd just
.axing basis. They find that the mileage
within Indiana of the roads traversing
that state constitutes 117. 7 per cent of
iho entile mileage. They , therofoie ,
assume that the earnings within the
state bear the sam'o ratio to the total
earnings and find the surplus earnings
have been as follows : 1&89 , $27,9.20,511 ;
1S90 , Si.-,2S',92 : ' ) : ! ; 1891 , $5G,20ib9V : , 1892 ,
$ : iiC2ilti7. , ( : : In other words , fl voyeurs
profits would ha\o equaled the cntiio
valuation as assessed before the new law
went into olToct. In these figures they
find the justification of the inoieasc of
150 per cent in thu assessment of 1800
over J8S9.
The methods employed by the rail
roads in Indiana in fighting the pay
ment of taxes do not differ from those
that have boon universally witnessed.
The plea of poverty has always been a
standing argument , but it had little
weight before the Indiana board. If it
is raised again this year the railway
otlicials will have their attitude toward
the World's fair passenger traflle hurled
back at them. They predicted that the
now law would compel them to reduce
their working force and they inveigled
their employes into joining in a formal
protest that its enforcement meant idlo-
ne&s and poverty to them. That these
threats were groundless was aoor
pro\on when the law went into
ollect without causing the discharge
of a single employe. It seem
thnt the time has coma when the
tlu cad-bat o complaints of the railway
officials have caused to bo a source of
alarm to honest public olllc'ors. When
the railroads learn that their persistent
elloi ts to evade taxes do nothing but
draw upon them a greater persistence of
the people , they may possibly conclude
that the wisest plan is to bear a fall-
share of the public burdens and that
their profits Ho in increased business
rather than in evading just taxation.
THIS people of Cuba , according to what
appears to bo good authority , do not de
sire independence of Spain nor annexa
tion to the United States , but merely a
fair measure of home rule , and this has
been promised by the Sp.inish gdveni-
ment. It may bo that n majority of the
Cuban people do not want to bo sop.i-
rated from Spain , but if homo rule Is
granted them it will undoubtedly bo the
fir.st step loading to ultimate indepen
dence , and if that should bo attained
then would arise iho question of annexa
tion to this country , with powerful
influences favoring it. There is a strong
sentiment in this country that Cnlu
ought to bo and ultimately must bj a
part of the United Stated , but it is kept
in repression for obvious reasoin. Any
movement here to promote annexation
would bo regarded by Spain as un
friendly , lint Cuban independence
would bo immediately followed by an
American movement in behalf of annex
ation that might prove to bo irresisti
ble. Spain is growing weaker your by
year , and it would seem that the time
cannot bo ronute when she will bo toi
decropld to retain her hold upon her

Tan free silver convention which is to

the far western states ; but before all
else , the ofTect of the convention upon
the financial conditions of the country is
the first thing that will be looked for.
If the views of the radical free silver

otherwise than disastrous.

Tiir.KK is something a little suspicious
nbout the complaints of the insufficiency
of the appropriations for the support of
the state institutions made by the last
legislature. The complaints come only
from the men who have always stood as
the apologists or the defenders of the
rings which have long preyed upon the
state logislatiuo. In the meantime , none
of the state institutions have * yet been
closed up.
Tin : decision of the federal court upon
the proceedings for an injunction re
straining the State Board of Trans
portation from reducing freight rates
under the maxima JlXed by the now law
is awaited with unusual interest by per
sons in all parts of the state. It is the
commencement of , a legal , light which
will end cither in- the overthrow of the
law or in its complete vindication.

for n long time in a state of mind ever the
conspiracy of the civilized \voild to got
silver at less than fl "U an ounce. Nothing
excites him so much as thu thought that the

worth of silver in payment of a dollar's
worth of debt. Ho has no doubt whatever
that thoio is such a conspiracy. and ho
agrees with tno bloodthlisty govoiuor of
Coloi.ulo that the people of the west will not
stand it.
At the Topeka convention ho oxpicssed
the conviction Unit the present llnnncial dis
tin banco Is caused by Now Yoi It men in
f in ther.inc.0 of the glgautlo crime against
silver. "When the men of Now York , " ho
s.iis , "can loan nionoy .it 7.1 per cent , do
the not want a panic by which they can
liio. . ' " H will bo observed at once , nt
lu.isit by Now York men , that this Is a rather
original and sti iking view of the situation.
Veiy few pursons who have observed the
course of the llmincial disturbance whicli
has diminished values to thu amount of hun-
dtedsof millions , hnvo looked deep enough
into causes to discover that the holders
of securities in which this shi Ink-
ago has taken plate bi ought it
about themselves in order to gut -75
per cout for nionoy. The reason why
e.istoin people have not thought of this is
probably because they aio so near the con-
tprof dlstutbnice that they are unable to
get the situation in poisportive , conso-
quontlv cannot discoin causes so accurately
as the clear sighted statesmen whoso lives
have been spent In the midst of people who
produce silver w bieh they know is vvoith
SI y. ) an ounce and aio obliged to sell it for
70 cents. 'J ho tiuth is , we suppose , that the
bracing air of the now states chuilU's the
vision so that the statesmen of that legion
see things that are not ill earned of in the
fogs tn.u envelop the Atlantic eoist. Some
eight yeais ago thoio was a missacio of
Chinese miners \Vjonilng whicli e.istoin
people , knowing that the inhabitants of
\Vjomingwcio civilized Chiistians , could
not understand until the Jiitlar explained
the matter by saiing that the C'hinese
killed themselves just to throw suspicion on
while Christians and make it uncomfortable
lor them. That explanation had not been
thought of
