Their savings in post offices, whence they are

money from its citizens. The system would be
worthless unless it We're permanent After the
national debt shall have been paid In the
not many years, the government will not need to
borrow the peoples money and pay interest on it.
Government will not then have need for any money
more than It's revenues. AS this Is not a s.pater-
nal government, but quite the reverse, postal
savings and similar institutions are not in Uncle
Sans line OF business.

The discussion OF Senator Shernan's three per
cent funding bill in the Senate finance committee
yesterday Indicated a favorable report That the
bill will pass the Senate nobody seems TO doubt
and II Is equally certain that bill for three per
cent bond Will pass the House. The democrats
would like TO defeat the Sherman bill and pass one
originating with their political side OF the house
and il is apparent that they intend to try II.
The vetoed bill OF the last Congress, which was a
democratic measure, Will be introduced While
both parties in Congress approve the plan OF the
three per cent bond II is not improbable that they
viii antagonize each other upon IT. Each side is
intent upon getting the political glory which, it is
believed, viii attach TO the passage OF this meas

regular meeting thereafter, all cases
of conviction under such law, SO
regulating such sales,and it shall be
the duty Of the City Attorney to re-
port to this Council any such con-
victions as may be bad in the Cir
cult Court Of this county.
Now, be it known that more than
a month ago, the Recorder reported
to the Council that one liquor
dealer had been convicted before
him for violating the liquor-law.
But the Council took no notice of it.
Another meeting came around and
nothing was done; third meeting
has passed by, nor has q motion
been made to revoke his license.
Why? We are constrained to break
the silence, and to inquire Did
the Council intend anything by
those resolutions? Our efficient
police could, we verify believe, close
up nearly every saloon in town be-
fore Christmas, if the Council would
stand by those resolutions, which
would be simply to stand by the
law Why don't they do it? Did
they mean by those resolutions sim
ply to warn the saloon keepers not
to get caught? And do they mean
now to intimate to the police that
they must relax a little their efforts
to convict? Or were the resolu-
tions simply emptiness and moth
inc more? We are told that no.
body is asking that the license be
revoked. That the law says, "a IL
cense may be revoked upon the pc
tition in writing, of any inhabitant,
&c" Well, are not our worthy
Mayor and Councilmen "inhabi-
tants" Of the City, and are not they
fully apprized of the facts? If any
one of them wanted dog-taX abat-
ed, their official position would
hardly be regarded as incapacita-
ting them from asking that favor
of the Council, and il they are too
modest to vote on their own petit
ton, quorum can be had if one
abstains from voting. Come, gen
tlemen, some one of you step out
side the bar and present this petit
ton. Let the spirit Of the resolu-
tions be carried out Such tech
nicalities are ''too thin" Do your
duty, or repeal those resolutions.
It is time for all good citizens to
hold up to 5corn and contempt
these empty promises, until they
are either retracted or fulfilled

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
Their Notions and Oars.

R, in the Tyler Independent,
in a lengthy letter on Parkersburg' 5
interests, business and prospects,
among other good and true things,
says:
The old moss-back ideas, that
prevailed SO largely here at one
time, of sinking the interests of the
public to the enhancing of individ-
ual interests, have given place, as a
mere matter of policy, to the mod
ern progressive idea, that the very
best way to enhance private inter
ests, is to work for the enlargement
and for the interests of the entire
town. With this principle in view
and continually working up to it,
Parkersburg has made more sub
stantial growth in the last ten years,
than in all her past history. And
to-day, there are more enterprising
men in Parkersburg, working for
the general interests of the town,
and for the interests Of this end of
the State, than can be found any
where else in West Virginia.
The Chicago Board of Trade re-
fused a rental of $500 for one of
their Offices for a liquor-saloon, and
took s. 800 for it for temperance
restaurant,-Erchange.
That Board of business men are
wise enough to know that $500
| legitimate rental is infinitely more
desirable and valuable, than $500
extracted from the heart-sorrows of
suffering wives and children.
1t is about time for some of our
leading society men to learn that it
is not etiquette or good manners to
grab hold of lady's arm, when
walking with her, instead of offer
ing her his arm. Well-bred people
do not follow this fashion, but the
I parties here are to be excused, as it
is supposed they know no better
| Ue2el Democrat.
We are sorry to say, the same
may be observed down here, and
/ the more sorry we are that some of
the ladies do not seem averse to the
innovation.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1881.
Onr City Administration.


At the commencement of the last
municipal campaign in Parkers-
burg, the Prohibition ticket was in
fair way to sweep the field. The
enemy was dismayed, and the fate
of the Liquor-traffic in Parkersburg
seemed to be doomed. But some of
our best citizens, still clinging to
the old barren idea that you can
better "regulate' than ''prohibit, "
threw themselves into the breach,
and under the name Of Democracy,
and with the usual promises Of re-
form and enforcement Of law, the
whisky cause doomed" and tri-
umphed under the banner of Iii
cense.'
Since the FREEMAN came into eX-
istence, we have said but little in
criticism of this administration.
We have spoken in warm approval
of the efforts to enforce law and or
der in the City, and, we say now
that it deserves great credit for the
partial success attained, and in Civ
ing to the City what we regard as
the best police force the City has
had for years. We attribute its
efficiency mainly to the fact that
there has been at the head, a Chief
Of Police who has ever had a repu
tation for doing his duty, regardless
of friend or foe and the Mayor and
a majority Of the Council deserve
credit for standing by MIN in the
face of loud mutterings from the
law-breakers and their hackers.
And when this administration
granted license, unfortunately to
men of known incorporate habits
to men who have year after year
confessed repeatedly their guilt in
violating the liquor-laW-to men
who have been convicted of such
violations, under this administra-
ton itself yea, when they granted
these licenses, and entered upon
their solemn records attested by the
hand of our worthy Mayor that
they were eft persons and not of in
temperate habits" even then we
were silent, waiting to see the good
results that were promised
We stood by in respectful silence
when the following high-somding
resolutions We're unanimously
adopted by the Council:
ResoLved, By the Mayor and Coun-
ell of the city Of Parkersburg.
1St. That it is the sense of this
Council that licenses for the sale of
spiritousand malt liquors be grant
ed in this city for the year commen-
cling May lst, 1881.
2nd. That in granting such licen-
ses this Council expect and require
Of all persons 50 licensed, a strict
observance Of the law regulating
the sale Of such liquors.
Sd, That any violation Of the
law 50 regulating such sale, know
ingly and wiIfully committed,
shall, upon conviction Of the party
SO offending, revoke (work) a forfeit
ure Of such license the remaining
portion Of the year for which it was
granted, when duly passed upon by
the Council.
4th. And that it shall be the
duty of the Recorder Of this city to
report to this Council at its next
