Rural ci edits reoeiveJ considerable
attention and discussion at tbe gover
nor's confereooe in Richmond, Va.,
last week, when a resolution was
adopted wbiob baa for its object tbe
abolishment of tbe farm mortgage
system and the establish meat of a new
system of state banks governed by a
uniform law. These banks under tLe
resolution, wonld be finanoed by pri
vate capital and wonld operate tinder
legislation sufficiently elastic to en
able them to issue bonds for sho't or
long terms upon American farms In
lien of mortgages. Tbe bonds in tnrn,
in tbe opinion of tbe governors, would
te listed under state supervision on
tbe stnok exohange of tbe world. Tbe
resolution under wbiob. It is hoped to
bring this about approves a plan of
flnanoiug rural credits, yet to be de
tailed but similar to those abroad.
It piovirtes for tbe appointment of a
committee ot Ave governors to draft
suob a plan and a bill legalizing it
Ibis till must be submitted to the
governor of each state ot tbe union
and upon approval of two thirds shall
be sent to tbe legislatures of the vu
rious states for enactment. And here
la where the farmer will ba beard in
the matter. It is a question whether
ba prefers having bis farm bonded
and tbe bonds boodled about ty an un
ktiown buyer as a speculating medium
on tbe stock exobaoge ratber tbsu to
raise money by mortgaging to some
money lender of bis acquaintance at a
lawful rate of interest. It appears to
us that rural credits are amply able
to oare for themselves without calling
on tbn stook exobange for any assis
tance. The American farm is abont
the only thing that bai kept clear of
the stock gambler's clutches and
the proposition to let bim bare a
wbaok at tbem, tbougb emanating
from an august oooolave of governors,
will undoubtedly And scant support.

divided them luto two lots of thirty

at three for $1 and the other at two
Tor $1. In bis absence his-clerk sold
the sixty ducks at five for $2, realizing
the sum of $24. If sold according to
instructions one purchaser would have
got thirty ducks for $15 and the other
thirty for $10, making $25 for the lot

. Governor West is preparing, accord
ing to press reports, a till wbioh will
be presented to the next legislature
giving the governor tbe power to re
move from office all sheriffs and proB-
eoutlng attorneys who fail to enforce
tbe law. One of our exchanges ob
serves that tbe governor iaaotuated by
tbe test of motives in this matter, but
probatly tias not considered what
might happen with snob power ia the
bands of the chief exeootire. In
efteot tbe proposed law would take tbe
power of reoall out of tbe hands of
tbe people and plaoe it ia tbe bauds
of tbe governor. This would te all
right as long as tbe state bad a gov
ernor who was a perfeot man, endowed
With infinite wisdom and understand
ing. But what dangerous power it
would bo In tbe bands of tbe uotrupt,
and Mr, West will some time retire
from the otTloe and aootber wilt fol
low. The supreme nothoilty is tbe
people, They choose their governor.
They choose their sheriff and distriot
attorney and reserve fur themselves
the power to reoall the same. An
absolute monarchy is tbe ideal form
of government but it is uontiogent
upon the monarob. The trouble is to
get a good monarob or, as Is tie oase
disoussed, a good governor, it ia will
that the power of recall remain where
it la aud that tbe legislature refuse to
grant the executive tbe unlimited
power asked for ty Mr. West. t Mi,
West's plan ia this regard would be
r dangerous invasion of popular rights.
California baa a batit of dividing

Clate commonwealth baa split its voto,

third time. In 1680 acoording to tbe
figures, California gave Uarfleld one
vote and Baooook five, Twelve years
later Cleveland received eight votes
and Harrison one, a result duplicated
to tbe memorable campaign of 1896,
when McKluley received eight and
Bryan one, tbe state baviog swerved
