i NATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM. What Comptroller Trenholm Has to Say on the Subject, Wasnisaroy, Nov, 8. —William L. Tren- holm, comptroller of the currency, concludes his annual report to congress with remarks on the national banking system, of which the following is the substance: [he present financial prosperity inducing the expectation that the funded debi be paid oft as fast as the bonds mature, the question arises as to what changes should be made so the national bank system will not suffer from the with- drawal of this support, upon which the sys- tem is based. The banks now holding 3 per cent bonds are forced into the market as pur- chasers of 4 per cent bonds, The demand for 4 per cents puts a constantly increasing pre- mium on them, so that it is doubtful if the banks can afford to hold or buy them after 1891, For this reason it is not now too early to consiaer what legislation is necessary to remove the element of uncertainty from the system, The problem now to be solved is how {0 remedy the currency features of the national baik system so as to obtain popu- Tar approval of them. * The principal objections to a_mational bank currency appear to be an objection to paper money in any form to national bank notes upon ‘the assumption that they take the plac an equal amount of paper which might be issued directly upon the credit of the government and the objection that a currency deterimined in volume by a detinite percentage upon de- posited securities of high value can never possess the flexibility of volume which are the chief commerelal advantazes of bank currency in any form, ‘These ohjections can be answered by the fact that the people will have some forin of paper money and that the presentnational bank currency is the least objectionable of any which we have had any experience. ‘That national bank being redeemable in greenbacks, 1 widered as a kind of government money on which banks get a vrofit, a privelege withiout which national banks’ could not be maintained, and which is the cheapest price for which the people can _get any banking gystom of eaual u ility.

The Mecca of Ohess Players From the Four Quarters of the Globe. THEODORE TILTON IN PARIS. Some Eminent Chess Players—Honors to the Memory of Paul Morphy. Paris, November 11.—[Correspondence of the BEE.]—As a hbler 1 chess, 1 have often taken oceasion, during my so- journ in Pavis, to spend an idle hour at the Cafe de la Regence. This time-hon ored temple of Caissa is the Mecea of chess-players, Pilgrims from the four quarters of the globe yisit it with curios- ity and respect. Though London is the center of the chess world, yet the English Divan has no such long sweep of histori- cal associations as the French Regence Built on the spot where Henry IV make his victorious entry into Paris, the Cafe de Ia Regence maintains the genius loci, and is a perpetual battle-ground of kings. As n monument of the past, its name is itself a history, and bears witness toa corner stone laid in the early part of th pighteenth century—or more than years ago. Indeed, the Regence is of such a goodly age that among its original fre- quenters were Roussean, d’Alembert and Marmontel, who were all in their graves before the dawn of the present centu It was the trysting place of Robespicrre. It was the BIVOUAC OF BONAPART! It does not boast of any tangible relic or souvenir of Robespierre, but it preserves a small table of grey marble, on which the young Corsican lost many a g of to his friend Captain Bertrand. fterwards, St. Helena, where the great exile was allowed to do little else than to play chess, he still played it badly. His memorial table at the Re gence, bearing his almost illegible name on a worn-out silver pls f n put to much s since his day, and been the seene of many a more brilliant chess-contest than he himself was ever able to wage. It is true that he won some pid vietories over Madame de Remusat, yetall his recorded gnmes, without ex- ception, are of inferior quality. But therc is hardly more similarity or connection between the strategy of chess and that of military mancuyres, than there is be- tween the game of Dbilliards and a bom- pardment. Moreover, to reach the rank of mastership in chess requires from the aspirant lus supreme und undivided at- tention to this one purs making 1t profession, as a man makes a professi of law or medicine. Hence the masters of chess can be gre nothing else. And they “few and far betweon” 1 ent time, when chess s everywhere dif- and popularized throughout the zed world, there are not more than Tiving players of prime force—not age of one to a nation. But it has been the singular fortune of the Re- ce to have had, during the whole course of its long history, an uninterrupt- od succession of the ' The old homestt resident player of the first r \luxy of the Regence star of the first magnitude.

These were Legal and Verdoni 1s and Calvi, Boncourt and Monret-—all giants in their day. And one them was not only o giant but a dwarf. This was LITT MONSIEUR MOURET, who was such a pigmy that he was able to wiggle into the celebrated machine “primate d has never been without a nk. The plang- ncy which ho known as the Chess Automaton, whe he hid his timy self from all spectafo like a mousc in n wainseot, and whe daily, for many months, from his place of concealment, he moved the fatal fin gers of that grim wooden Turk who ad- ministerec checkmate to lords and Iadies, to princes and potentates, und toall other visitors who were willing to give good pay for being well rubbed. It was aTong time before the cunning imp within was :d by the curious world without, ry different type of man from Mouret DESCHAPELLES, whose form was tall and_ stately, whose face never wore a smile, and whose d position was so jealous that “he bore, ike the Turk, no brother near the throne.”” He disdained to play with any opponent on even terms, bui always gave odds. At length, when a few younger Dl whom he had trained, grew into an bquality of force with their trainer, and he was no longer able to from them ut odds, he suddenly ceased to play altogether, and proudly abdicated” his ?ulmn»hip. The sceptre passed to La- our FRENCH CHESS PLAYERS, What a master! There are elderly gentlemen still at the Regence who were the comrades, chums, cronies of Labourdonnais; and they never tire of relating their reminiscences of this ishing genius, He was noton player of players, but their man of men, t is strange that there is no likeness of him at the Regence. I hunted up & co- iporary portrait of this celebrated ‘renchman, engraved for an early num- ber of the Palamede, an old & that no longer ¢ ul I was surpri to find that his head was noble enough to be called classie. 1 think thatchess owes to Labourdonnais more than it does to any other master, dead or living; for it he who set free and gave to the ces'’ the soul which Philidor had re- stricted too narrowly to the ‘‘pawns.’”’ Moreover, 1 am sure that it w Labour- donmas who dled and moulded the mind of Paul Morph just as Morphy in turn the inspiration of Steinitz, nd just as Anderssen was the foster ather of Zukertort. The untimely death of Labourdonnais bequeathed to St. Amant the leadors of the Regence. There was a disparity of force between the two maste bourdonnias had beaten the best player, Macdonnell; but St. Amant w beated by Macdonnell’s r, S ton he elegant dandy; ALMOST A “'DUDE.”’ He was quite too awiully exquisite. There 18 an amusing tradition in the ecafe, that s eustomary seat was near a front win dow, where his handsome features might be seen in the best light. He played every afternoon until he heard the sharp rat-a- tat of his wife's parasol on the outside of the window-pane, summoning him home to dinner, Always, as soon as he heard the signal, he jauntily rose, gentoelly abandoned the chess-board, airily bowed 1o his opponent, and skipped away on tiptoe afier the imperious parasol, us it coe Amant THE OMAHA DAILY BEE flittgd around the corncr bearing the prickly name of KIEZRRITSKY, was St Amant’s successor, ducted the French periodic which, in honor of tha cafe, was called La Regence He invented n gambit that still bears his name, though the gambit itself may now almost be said to exist no more. He was 1 1 and sickly man, with too much brain for his body; and he wasted early MONDAY, R an, and con r the Russian came a Prussian. This was NECMANN He, too, found an early grave. He has not left behind him a due measure of rep utation with the public at large; and yet all studious readers of the mastery of chess know that Neumann's style was uncommonly clear and pure—like that, for instance, of Captain Mackenzie, of New York. HARRWITZ had the leadership at the time when ho had such competitors of roche, Jout naud and_ Devinek, but when Morphy came to Europe to eross swords with the champions of I nd, Germany, and France, Harrwitz defeated by the young Ame n, and soon after quitted Paris, France and chess, ROSENTHAL, a Pole, grew up at the Regence, and be- came, in his turn, its leading player; but he is now seldom seen at lis oid haunt in the Rue St. Honore. There have been personal feuds, and he stays away; but his time as profitubly devoted elsewhere toa private club of wealthy gentlemen, with whom he has a lucrative and unique position, such as Philidor or Labourdon- nais would have deemed “an carthly par alise.” The present representative chief of the Regence is AR~ . US DE BIVIERE. He received his first chess training from Kiezevitsky, and became the intimate friend of Anderssen, Staunton and Mor- phy. Hemay now be justly called the doyen, or veteran, of living chess players in France. Buta rumor. has just been set afloat that this accomplished man is shortly to be appointed to a position in the government commission for the com ing centennial of the French republic. In case of his retirement from the eafe, which seems presumable, his successor in the chieftainship will be his young and amiable rival, Johann Taubenhaus, who last summer me within @ hair's breadth of winning the first prize at the mterna- tional tournament in London. So the long and unkroken cham of master-p ers at the Regence, extending ov veriod of 150y, y Sign of a miss The game of chess, lowever, is the pub- lic property, not of its few masters, but of its many umateurs.
