1t is harsh thing to say of members of
Congress that they prefer the pleasures Of
the bar-rooms to the post of duty in Con-
gress, but it is said by the Democratic organ
in Washington concerning a number of the
Democratic Representatives. 1t Is difficult to
avoid the suspicion, however, that there is
less zeal for temperance in these structures
than eagerness to hound the whole party into
the policy of few foolish leaders.

Senator Ingas's views upon the Indian ques-
bOn, as set forth in a speech on Saturday,
may not include all the wisdom or all the
humanitarianism of the age. but they are for
cibe, not to say picturesque. Mr.. Ingas's
tribute to the ability of the Indians seems to
be entirely sincere, and when he said that
in diplomacy, within very short period,
"tbey have shown a brilliant and shining
"capacty for lying that has never been sur
"passed by any foreign Minister or Secretary
"of State" he spoke with all the fervor of
conviction.

The system of bribing servants to get the
custom of their masters is probably old as
the trade of shOp-keeping, and no domestic re-
former will ever be able to eradicate the
abuse. Buffers are human. and even cooks,
it is asserted by those familiar with the intel
lectual habits Of these august persons, are not
superior to ali the weaknesses OF the race.
But even the man who is cheated has some
satisfaction in learning the extent of his

The steady strengthening of the savings
banks, which has been going on now for sew
eral years past, is the best possible indication
of the general diffusion of prosperity. The
reports for the past year, given elsewhere,
show rapid and sure growth in the number of
depOsitOrs and the SURPRISES of many of the
banks. 1t is estimated that the total increase
in deposits in the State is $45.000O00
Every well known bank shows a marked in
crease in the number of open accounts, a
considerable margin of money deposited over
money withdrawn during the year, and an
appreclable strengthening of the surplus.
The hopeful view which General COlley
takes of his condition after the battle of
Drakenberg might be of more account
If his defeat in that conflict were not
due to over-c confidence. The loss OF
nearly one-fifth of his forces, in
GLIDING seven officers killed or wounded,
tells badly for his judgment, while it demon
strates the sagacty OF the Beers who decoyed
him to the fatal pass. The moral effect of
the victory is already apparent in the deter
mination of the Beers in the Olange Free
State to send supplies to those who are in the
field.

lovely day and all that could be wished for
showing off the Alamo city TO the greatest
advantage Our distinguished visitors ap-
peared upon the streets bright ana early

"a visit 10 the Old and classic pre- incts Of the
Alamo, whero Crockett and Bowie gave up
their lives for Texas independence, where
they wandered through the honorod struc-
ture, guided by citizens. Many had not seen
the old building before, but the history of
its martyred heroes dwelt with them
childhood. To them this was a great
pleasure. It is to be hoped this
DAVIS visit to the Alamo may end in its pur-
chase by the state, and saved from the sacre'
ligious hand of improvement. A drive to
the missions was nextin order The tirst and
second missions Conception and San j ose
were each visited and admired. Being several
miles below the city on the river the trip was
made in carriages, thirty-four in number,
and il made joyous procession.
