A SUMMARY Of the condition of the
Rhode Island Savings Banks is printed
in the Providence Journal of the 10Th
inst, which contains some very interest
ing and significant figures. The whole
number of savings banks is 81, and Of
depositors 93,194. The average to each
deposition is $5OO5O, and the largest
amount due any .depositor $6S,s9l.S5.
The increase in deposits from the pre-.
Vious year is $4,03S, S,6A 81; the average
rate per cent Of last dividend in so institu.
tions II per cent per annum; and the
amount loaned on mortgages Of real cs.
tate in other States, 45,27O 40. The
total amount due depositors is $4G,Gl7,.
1873 0S, and the excess Of assets over lis.
bilities, $l,7sO,48 55. Such figures as
these show that Rhode Island, though
little, is thrifty and provident. Out OF its
population Of 1883, almost one half are
depositors in the savings banks, with an
average Of over $500 to each person, laid
away for rainy day. The result shows
that the homilies Of old Roger Williams
have borne good fruit. 7s.

where II Is held that the government
may bring action for the recovery OF

but likewise of those which, on account
of the statute of limitations, are not
accessible The commissioner says: /
desire that you will exert yourself to
discover all cases In your district where
any taxes cannot now be assessed
lowing te the limitation OF section 20,
act June 30, 1864, amended, and sec
ton ., act of March 2, 1869, without Il

assessed without penalty. But In eases
where delinquents neglect or refuse to
take this course, you will at once report
the facts to the proper United States

same time to the terms Of the above
mentioned decision Of the supreme
court. In view of the importance of

The Pulaski Patriot says we never
become tired Of telling the people that
Mr. Isaac Clements is not great man.
Whenever we have ventured the
assertion that Mr.. Clements is not
gentleman Of transcendant abilities, we
have done so in response to some friend
of Mr.. Clements who has asserted his
possession of towering intellect"
We do not desire to belittls Mr..
Clements We arc the last person who
would do 30. In him we recognize .
gen tlemsn of considerable ability as
a politician. He has been industrious
in studying the method by which the
politician wires in and wires out Of
difficulties. He has fingered at the
footstool Of Senator Logan, and has
drawa political wisdom from that
statesman as baby draws milk from
its mothers breast.
But, for all this, Mr.. Clements has
not given any evidence of tho posses
sion of great abilities, let the little ed
itor, cay what they may. 1t is true
he once spoke in congress, and in.
structed that body on the important
question Of the dog-bouyed Grand
Chain of the Ohio river; but tina,
speech did not prove his greatness. 1t
is true that he voted for a
salary grab, and did 80 with delibera.

desired him to vote 10 condemn the
salary grab, but this vote did not es
tablish his greatness. 1t is true he

THE GRABBER AND HIPPO
CRITE.


Mr.. Clements must abide by his
record, and thereon must stand or fall
Let us see then what his record Is.
s We charge that his record proves
him to be salary grabber and polt,
ical hypocrite.
The record shows that Mr.. Clements
voted for Hurlbut's substitute for the
bill of the special committee on salary
grab, which substitute proposed to give
to members of congress $4,000 per an
mum and actual individual expenses in
going to aOd returning from Washing
ton.
We know he claims that this is the
best he could have done, but if all con-
gressmen had thought 80, Senator
Conklin' repeating bill would not have
been adopted
The Hurlbut amendment was so
palpably salary grab, that his con.
stituents have concluded to permit him
to remain at home. They say they do
not desire to be represented by Gen
Buffers tool in the salary. grabbing
business. 1t remains to be seen whether
the people of this district desire to
be represented by the tool of the tool of
Butler in the reprehensibls business of
grabbing the public money.
Tho record also shows that he
lodged all the votes upon the civil
rights bill. lie feared the white peo-
pie Of his district we're opposed to the
bill and would vote against him if he
voted for it; and he knew that if
no should vote against it the nsgroe.
would not support him tor re election.
Therefore, political coward that he is,
he lodged the votes upon the bill-did
not vote; 80 that he might say to
Democrats and white Republicans: 81
lid not vote for the civil rights bill"
md TO negroes; 81 did not vote
gainst the bill, and am in favor Of
t."
Since his return from Washington,
ir. Clements has been playing hide
nd'seek on the civil rights question.
lie stands upon platform endorsing
!, but he has been assuring Democrats
hat he is opposed to it. This We
barge with emphasis.
This, in brief is Mr.. Clements re-
ord in the salary.grab and civil rights !

question and how any person can, In
the light il throws upon his character,
vote for him we cannot conceive. He
abused the confidence Of all bis con-
stituents by refusing to labor for the
absolute repeal of the grab law, and in
attempting to grab, under tho lead Of
Butler and Hurlbut, thousand or two
dollars; he has deceived the negroes
by lodging the vote on the civil rights
bill, and has abused the confidence Of
tn. white people by declaring bis op.
position to the civil rights bill and al
the same time en- dorsing declaration in
its favor.
