SENATOR WINDOW has introduced a
bill in Congress authorizing the establishment
of National Savings Banks, but with restric-
tions which voluntary association would
accept The true method of securing the earn
ings of the laboring man is the establishment
of postal savings banks such as exist in Eng
land, Canada and Australia, and in three or four
countries of continental Europe which have
copied the example of England. The advan-
tage of the postal system is not merely its uni
versal accessibility and convenience, but that
it would not require the expense of new build
ings and only in few large cities an addition
10 the number of officers This economy would
enable the Government TO transact the busi-
ness on a slender margin and yet at profit to
the treasury. Besides this is no untried or
venturesome experiment. The postoffice sys-
tenn has long been established in England and
several other countries, and it has steadily
grown in usefulness and popularity wherever
can be made to it have the weight of feather
Our Government will sooner or later adopt it,,
and every proposition which causes discussion
of the general subject will hasten the day.

is being pressed with vigor. With the view to
testing the constitutionality of the act recently
passed by the Legislature prohibiting corpora
tions from employing Chinese laborers, a test
has haa,, ,ada hv fha nf the
President of the ulphur Bank Quicksilver
Mining Company. This is the sequel to the re-
cent street parades of the so-called Working
men" who went from place to place in San
Francisco demanding that various corporations
should discharge their Chinese employees. In
addition to this assault the almond-eyed Celes-
tials have been subjected to another attack
from another direction. The San Francisco
Board of Health has declared the quarter
known as "Chinstown' nuisance and steps
will be Immediately taken to put it into de-
cent shape or destroy it altogether. In this
last the people OF San Francisco Will have
hearty sympathy. This reeking hole has been
q stencil and abomination for years and it is
high time that il was 0yerhauled. If John
Chinaman proposes to live in American cities
he has got to learn some of the first principles
of decency, matter in which it is the current
| impression his education has been entirely
neglected
