1t is doubtful if there is philoso-

begin to fret, the next day after the

they hadn't got their share. And
then, some things are as much
stronger than philosophy as blood
is thicker than water. Tempera-
ment is one Of thea. Inherited
mental traits, or habits that hive
crystalized into disposition, are
more of the same sA3Et. A fnan who

The great metropolitan Journals

that fact furnishes no good reason

cities. After all, Ii Is. struggling Ia

is not only the bulwafk Of liberty,

is made that this power is sOme-

criticised. Alt@i f-4it

PARK BENJAMIN writes TO the New

O'Rourke, who invented the device of
placing button ON the shank of cork

from an old paper, which says Jo-

their moments of inspiration, may talk

mingle little gratitude with their adj

than them all. Miss O'Rourke, like her

lightful compound of ingredients, both
mental and corporal, of the most OPP
posite nature"

bank circulation shall be redeemed upon per-
centage OF notes outstanding that the banks
in operation shall pay their proportion OF ex-
pense and the remainder to be borne by the
Government, which alone receives the benefit,
and should, therefore, pay its just shares. The
Government has for the past fifteen years an
nualy received an average OF moe than
So, co., 900 of taxes upon deposits upon sys-
tenn unknown elsewhere in any country, and 1t
il certainly but just that 1t should bear the ex-
penses OF redemption OF those notes from cir
culation. of which 1t receives the entire benefit.
The total amount OF national-bank notes re-
ceived for redemption by the Comptroller OF
the Currency and ut the redemption agencies
of the treasury during the year 1880 is shown
TO have been S60,098, $40. The number Of
bank notes which have been issued since or
ganization OF the system Is 137677,2l9 vaiued
at 1885, 068, 1886. or these 90, 936, &c., valued
Mt S641, O05 1884, have been redeemed, and
80. ,653, valued at S342, 063, 45l, were still
outstanding Oh Nov. /. 1880. The amount of
national-bank currency destroyed during the
year ending Oct 81, $780, was S35, 539, $50.
The Comptroller says: The total losses
charged off by banks during the year were
S14. 706, 406, and for the four years previous
SS5, $4,000. The total losses charged of dur
ing the last five years are more than 20 per
cent. Of the entire capital of the banks. Dur
ing the last five years the average number Of
banks annually passing dividends Oh account OF
losses have been 279. The average amount Of
capital upon which no dividend has been paid
during that time is $42, 266, 244, from which it
follows that, for a continuous period Of five
years about one-seventh of the whole number Of
banks in operation have paid no dividends, and
that nearly one-tenth Of the total capital has
been unremuneratlve.
The Comptroller deals at considerable length
with the subject Of national-bank taxation.
He admits the right Of the States TO tax the
shares of banks organized under State laws,
but holds that they have no right TO impose q
higher tax on national-bank shares than on
any other money capital in the hands of indi-
viduals. He recommends Congress to pass
law fixing the maximum rate of taxation which
the State can impose on these shares. The
Comptroller repeats his previous recommends
ton that the national law imposing tax on
the capital and deposits Of the banks and pro-
viding for the use of the 2-cent check stamp be
repealed. He says that the tax on spirits, to-
bacco, and beer, together with the customs
revenue, would be quite sufficient to meet all
the expenses of the Government, and to reduce
the public debt at the rate of hundreds of
millions of dollars every year. The abolition
of the match tax and the tax on patent
medicines is also recommended.

THE new passenger coaches in Phila-
delphia, which carry the people from
point to point as cheaply as the street
cars, are immensely popular, and the
supply of them is not yet equal to the
demand. The street-railway injunction
delayed them somewhat, but that has
been dissolved, and, as the street rail
roads gave bond to secure the coach
company against damages, which are
estimated at $50, 900, suit will presently
be begun to recover that amount. The
coaches run every three minutes, but
the President of the company says there
are not tenth as many as could be
proftably employed, and that they must
be run every half minute to accommo-
date the travel.

"purinp NV whit 10 the British nostot,,cs 7

During my visit to the British postofice I
examined with much interest the system of
telegraphy for several years past connected
with the postal service. This method Of corre-
spondence ia thought to have made great ad-
vance since 1t was changed from the manage
ment Of private corporations, responsible to
nobody, hardly to public opinion, and placed
business has increased many fold, the
cost OF sending messages has been
largely reduced, and the service
ispcrformed in localities it would never have
reached under the pecuniary stimulus of pri-
vate enterprise. At the same time it yields a
margin Of profit to the royal treasury. Ii it
not time for us to renew the inquiry whether it
il wise to leave this important instrument Of
correspondence In charge of corporations
whose primary object is gain to tho managers
and stockholders, and the convenience of the
public secondary only?"
Mr.. Maynard renews for consideration of
Congress the suggestion made by his prede-
cessor, that the word " fraudulent" as it oc-
ours IN sections 8, 929 and 4,041 Of the revised
statutes, preceding the word "lottery," should
be stricken out. He says "That Congress-
while expressly forbdding the use Of the ordi-
nary mail to all lottery companies,
whether fraudulent or not, should
intend to afford special security Of
registry system and convenience and safe
y
gagged in employments declared by the SUI
preme Court of the United States to be de-
moralzing in their effects, no matter how
carefully regulated, unless express proof Of
fraud can be made against such companies, is
not to be assumed. Congress will not inten-
tionally aid in demoralizing the public by af-
fording extraordinary postal facilities to per-
sons or companies whose business accompanies
this result"
He further SAYS that the legal positions taken
by his predecessor concerning the power of the
Postoflice Department to exclude lotteries from
the Use of the mails meet his approval, and I'M
der the recent decision Of the United States
Supreme Court in the case of Stone vs.. The
State Of Mississippi, he has felt it to be his Of
fetal duty also to give full effect to the actions
of any State Legislature in its effort to relieve
the public from the evil consequences of per-
nicious legislation in the past.

news the recommendation OF Postmaster Gen.
hey that newspapers containing lottery adver-
tisements be deprived Of the privileges Of the

The Dominion Government of Canada
gives to the syndicate contracting to
build the Canada Pacific railway
$25, 200, 900 in cash and %, 10000 acres
of land finishes the portions of the
road at present being constructed, and
hands them over, with the portions al
ready constructed, to the company when
the whole line is finished. The value of
the portions of the line constructed and
handed over by the Government is
roughly estimated at $50, 100000. The
company gives security to the amount of
81 900, 900, together with certain por-
ton of land, as security for the working
of the line. When the line has been
worked for period deemed sufficient to
insure its continuance, the security,
both in land and money, will be handed
back by the Government to the COM
pany, with interest. Estimating the
land at 50 per acre, the gross subsidy,
with the completed sections, represents

ment pays the syndicate for construct
