what are the Examiners for =

What is the use of having examiners
OF the Government for the protection
of the public, il such a state of affairs
can occur as is shown by the disclos-
ures of the conditioned the Pacific and
the Central National banks in Boss
ton, following closely upon the explos
sion in Newark
1t is an open secret that many of
these examiners are incompetent
clerks, unskilled in bookkeeping, who
are sent out from Washington by favor
on sort of holiday excursion. Bald
win centrived, as cashier, to get away
with two millions and half, which
would bave been impossible with any
rigid test of the banks accounts. He
called the examiners work mere
farce, which in no way interfered with
his operations.
Over two millions are swamped in
the Pacific Bank of Boston, consum-
ing the whole capital and an outside
million from the stockholders. And
although the institution was In bad
odor, and may be said to have carried
ON it's business under the cover of an
other bank in good standing, it was
allowed to go on without Ihe scrutiny
which the law provides as security
against impotent or corrupt manages
ment.
The Central Bank was only saved
by outside aid. The books are report
ed to be correct, but the President
carried enormous loans Sin his head, "
made without the knowledge of the
directors, to a speculator in stocks who
not long age had been oornered in a
venture very similar to that in which
he was Ypheld by this President, who
is reported by the examiner to be
"henest."
The Comptroller of the Currency,
who makes these appointments, ought
to be held to strict account for theiI
fitness and integrity by safeguards that
would provide against ignorance and
colluslon.
Some Of the most glaring failures
may be traced directly to the selection
of favorites and of relatives for thii
duty of examination. Banks reported
to be unquestionably solvent have
been Immediately crushed down by a
load of transparent fraud. A brother
in-law examiner, who made the re-
port in the notorious case of thu
German-American Bank in Washing
ton, right under the eye Of the Comp
troller of the Currency, has been prof
itably employed for years as its re-
ceiver, deriving his authority from th'
same source.

The Carb rry Case.

The entire session of Court, yester-
day afternoon, was occupied by Geo.
IL. Bates, Esq, in the argument for
the defense. He denounced the course
pursued by Mr.. Davis, the superinten-
dent of the mill, for placing Carberry
in the position of watchman, with
orders to keep out all who did not
work In the mill, and then failing to
sustain him. He also commented
severely on Thomas 8. McCaferty,
the foreman, who stood by during the
entire tragedy, without once opening
his lips, when word from him might
have prevented the shooting. Mr..
Bates then argued at great length his
pleas Of self. defence and accidental
shooting.

A Lucky Pump Maker.

A recent number of the Washington
ID. C.) Post gives an interesting sketch
how one Augustus DeGrummuud, driven
at the national capital ewing to the
general Introduction of Potomac river
water, was In his financial desperation
led to venture sending dollar to M. A.
Dauphin, New Orleans, La, and In return
obtained Sl5, 600, having received In re-
turn half of ticket No. I, $40 in the 18th
monthly drawing of the Louisiana Stata
Lottery on Oct llth. This good luck Of
worthy Washingtonlan will tempt
many to correspond with the benef1cent
NJ. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, prior 70

over half a million OF dollars on Decem-
ber 18th, under the sole control Of Gents
G.. T. Beauregard of La, and Jubal A.
Early of Va, and some one else will be
put In history in like manner.

PLAYING EUCmRE FOR KISSES

PRETTY LITTLE PAsTIME THAT sHAD-
ows IN A WINDOW BROUGHT TO
LIGHT.
From the Kingston Freeman.
An uptown young lady and gentie-
man play games of euchre mig hts in the
young lady's parlor under the agreement
that when he wins he Is to kiss her and
when she wins she is to kiss him. The
arrangement seems to have been very
satisfactory, and 1t has astonished the
rest of the folks who are not In the Sc
cret why it is they do so love to play
euehre. If one of the members of the
family happens to be in the room when
games are won or lost why the fulfill
ment of the contract Is put off until a
kissing opportunity occurs, and it is said
that in some instances when large
number of forfeits become due 1t re-
quires ain ost n continual kiss and return
Tor half an hour or more 10 finish up
This practice person would suppose to
be quite wearing and exhaustive one,
but the young,people bear up under IL
wonderfully and seem quite cheerful
aud happy. Had it not been for some
jea lous onaps the secret compact be-
tween the two probably would never
have been known to the world and thus
other couples deprived of the chance to
test lt themselves. Ine jealous youths
while looking at the window one night
saw the forms of the couple shadowe cd
on the window shades, and as they CO uld
see them play cards, and then when the
| last card was slapped down hear one on
the other say, 80. glory It's my turn
| or so, cream and peaches, will try II
this time |" and could see the shadowy
motions as of kissing. they surmised the
whole thing and told it as big joke
when they were only signing that they
couldn't have part in the contract.

In that distant and perhaps only
mill lennial day, when longssuffer-
ing people succeeds IN having its
telephone poles and wires put under
the ground, where they belong, the
number of wires used will be no
disadvantage. But just now while
they encumber the streets any
contrlvance promising to lessen
the quantity employed is of public
Importance. Hence the duplex wire
system of telephones. Dy which
persons can talk forth and back on
the same cir.ut Is of value, not
only on the other grounds claimed
for it but on that of lessening the
number of wires. This gain
however, should not diminish
efforts to have all wires OF
communication put out of sight.

SECOND EDITION
Republican Honesty.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The Republican otto
day is harping about full and fair vote,
and an honest count, and says with
these victory will not be doubtful. This
is the same old cry for the past nine
years. He was..always sure 10 elect the
Mayor, but when the votes were coun-
ted his party fell short. An honest
count in his estimation is the importa-
tion of negroes from adjoining states
who will be provided with tax receipts
from forged seal, Intimidation by
United States Marshals, and money pro-
vided for his party by the honest tax
collectors from Philadelphia. He should
be ashamed to make use Of the word
honest for the people here and elsewhere
know that bis party is kept togather by
the worst thieving known to civiliza
ton. Not only stealing at Washington
by the millions, but in the City of
Philadelphia by tens of thousands, and
years this has been going on, and
this is the reason why his thIevlng
party controls that city. A good subject
for the Republican, at this time Is the
southern Brigadiers. For some time he
has silent on fremained his subject, and
people wonder why he shut up like
clam so quickly.
He has taken Mahoneism to his
bosom and exclaims, "The solid
South is broken" This is great COM
fort to him and his thieving party. 1t
would be well for him to look out for
the solid North and the Stalwarts and
Half Breeds. 1t is about time for this
honest count party to commence colo
lot. 70 tn Laor,
an eye on this sly old coon. This
boasting of honesty is a mere clap
trap to deceive. The people of this
city are not ready to trust this thievr
ing party with its government, for we
have but to turn either to the North,
| East, South or West and find the same
old complaints, stealing, robbing and
| Investigations which mean but farce
| to let the thieves off. We want no
such party to come into power in this
city or State. The Democratic party
in Delaware needs no Investigations.
The public money entrusted to its
care in both city and State is account
ed for honestly. At the next election
the old theme of tariff and low wages
will not count. / suppose our me-
chanics and laboring men will have
their tickets marked again and be
threatened with discharge if they do
not vote them. 1t cannot be possible
that with all the tricks they may re.
sort to honest workingmen will vote
to put this thieying party in power.
We call on all Democrats and every
man who has the prosperity of our
city at heart to vote against this
thieving party. Put them in powe,
and the city will be bankrupt in five
years. Democrats to the front
