We condemn the efforts of demiuroanies tocreate Jealousy and antagonism between the when their interests are identical. The growth of the one is tho prosperity of the other.

i Tke facta that have been brMMrkt to light in regard to Secretary Sherman1 favoritism to one ofJ the' Kew York banks cannot be denied or expkined away. They are damaging alike to him lj The First National Bank of New York, with a capital of only $600,000, subscribed for $87,000,000 ih four-percent, bonds, expecting to be able to work them off at a profit. These bond were to be delivered the first of July, at which time the money for them waa to be oaid. Tlie first of July came and the money was not pakl for them. The iirstof August also came and over $25,000.000 wa still unpaid of the s4im due. payment of it, or Ha pre4entation lor i payment rather, stopped, 1 ueiore it nau .i thrfMnrli the Ch'arlnv.bou! . paeu llirougll Xiiu viearing-uousc. In the lirst mace he favored thk bank by extending the time of payment, and next he protected it whoa the presentation of a draft due the Government would have seriously embarrassed it. But thk k not all. This first Na tional Bank of New York has boon , specially favored at other times. It is otha since the fact was 1 m Hue known that an average deposit I t40,000f000. belonging to the boyAitinanr la.aail Ivnitm l I lnta.'rv1 tfl lu in KiAAItlVUlr isau uws naav w T the vaults of thk bauk for inoaths without interest, r la Wall street, where interest Is counted by the day and often by the hour on large sums, tke magnitude of such favoritism k apparent. When John Sherman went up into Maine, a few weeks ago, to preach the doctrines of resumption he proclaimed that the feeding operations were closed; that the bonded bubt of the 2.kmeiitvi liafl Itfinn rtif 1 1 n rl oil a m low rate of interest, and everything ' was cleared up. When he Was here in , i i, .oa r.ll j Cincinnati last week he Was COmpeUed i to admit that the funding operations '" h hd "t pushed the New York banks for the ! money in tmvment for the four-per t cent, "bonds. He didn't tell the businoes men os 'Chance here that he had allowed that New York bank to cut off the coupons and draw the interest on those bonds for which it had not yet mid. But . . " A." 'wwUt such was the fact. Is this what would be called fair business principles be tween men doing business on an equality? Is it customary for a debtor to pay interest on money before he receives it? Would Mr. Sherman do seek a thing, he himself being the borrower? For, after all, these financial transactions between the Government and the bunks should be measured by tlie same t strictions as though it were to anotner i man. An officer snouia snowno javors because he represents the Government, nor should he ask any. Let it be business and that alone. Last of all, the fullest publicity should be given to all transactions between the Government and its finanoial areata. j Tha enforcing of such an oraer of secrecy as Mr. Sherman prommgaieu yesterday will only add to hk embarrassments. The press of the eountry will not be kept in ignoranee of the doings of the Treasury thereby, but there will always be, a snseicioa that something is being kept back. There is no crisis impending to require the suppression of the facts as they occur. Mr. Sherman had far better take the people of the eountry into hk confidence if he wants to enjoy theirs.
