POSTAL SAYINGS BANKS,

It is perhaps two months since the
EXAMINER first called attention to bill
introduced IN the house of representa-
tives by Mr.. Manning, of MISSISSIPPI, for
the establishment of postal SAVINGS
banks. We are pleased to learn that the
house committee on postoflices and
postroads has agreed to report this bill
favorably, and the prospects are that 1t
will become law. Under ite provisions
deposits can / e made at any money
order postotiioe in sums ranging from ten
cents up TO one hundred dollars, no
person being eIlowed to have a larger
sum than five hundred dollars stPuding,
at one time, to his or her credit The
annual rate Of interest on these deposits
viii be two per ceutum. We trust the
bill will become a law. IT Is in the in
terest of the WORK 'ng classes, who desire
to place their small say .ngs, laid aside
for "a rainy day" in place of absolute
security. Successive postmasters- gen
eral have recommended such in
stitutions, and i Representative Man
ning's bill is adopted II will but
comply with the popp'a- demand. The
same experiment has been tried IN
France snd proved eminently successful.
Let us adopt it in this country and test
its merits. 1t VI" at least prove bene-
fit to the poorer thrifty classes WHO do
not find encouragement to place their
savings in the banks Of the land.

WHAT WILL ooNeREss boz

Il congress going to do anything
about the star route businessP We ask
the question because the people want to
know. Evei ybody remembers the he
roic virtue displayed by Postmaster
General James when he declared war on
these star route thieves. With what
Spartan courage he bearded the
robber lions in their dens. 1t
really seemed as though something
astonishing was to be done. Gsr
field was living then-for it was before
that End Of July-and he insisted the in
vestigation and prosecution should be
thorough aud complete. He promised
to see an end put to the stealing, if it
took the balance of his term TO do it.
How much we have lived since those
daysl First, MacYeagh, the honorable
and very accomplished attorney-general,
dlsgusted " .th Garfelds successor, let
the star-route cases go by default, AS it
were. They fell through for want of
preparation. Then Postmaster-general
James, who raised the first hurrah over
the business, resigned his Office and
went into the more luxurious occupa-
ton of banking. Ex-senator Howe, of
Wisconsin. came y as the new post
master-generf' and his son-in law has
been and is of counsel for the star
reuters Thus the matter drags along
the peculators enjoy immunlty and the
government winks at tLAu enjoyment,
disincliued or unable to interfere with
it. The new attorney-general, Mr..
Brewster, has professed his determi-
nation "to probe matters to the bot
tom but what has he done? Not any
thing that {. Istldl public knows of. II
government officials and congressman
imagine the people are going to condone
the offenses of the star route plunderers,
they are badly mistaken. The whole
country has lLng with the exposures;
everybody is aware OF what has been
done. Nearly two years have gone by
since the first hue and cry, end yet Brady,
Dorsey and their chums are as placid
and unmolested Rs ever. They even
revel in their security. Is the govern
ment poweriess to bring them to Justice?
Cannot congress do anything in the
premises The people are looking
rather wistlJlly, but suspiciously for
action. The government has spent
money freely to convict Gruteau. Why
cannot it do as much for the prosecution
of Brady, Dorsey & Co? Here is MT
subject for congressional vigilance.

Mr.. o. Wilde, the young Irishman
who is travelling around the country as a
superior being, is too utterly critical for
any use. The Atlantic ocean disap-
pointed him, and the Niagara Falls we're
so absurd that he felt called upon to
spend an hour explaining how the great
Designer might have improved the
lines of beauty. The Power that created
the ocean and the falls also created Mr..
Wilde, and without wishing to be too
critical, we must be permitted to say
that if more brains and modesty and less
hair had been thrown into the young
man, this country would have been bet
ter of, at least to the extent of the loose
change that he will pick up here for inli-
tating the eccentricities of his mamma
on the lecture platform.

NOTES OF THE DAY.

Governors are Il good deal like other
men. The Governor OF Texas has writ
ten a book, as We are all aware. The
Governor of Indiana Porter) is in the
lecture field, bis favOrite talk being eu-
titled, Indiana II Her Dawn" He de-
livered it at Evansville last Wednesday
night, and press reports say it was a
good and sensible talk. Let us encour-
age our Governors, They will do credit
to the age if gwen au opportunity.
The secretary OF internal affairs in
Pennsylvania, who fills a position there
somewhat between onr comptroller and
commissioner OF history, insurance and
statistics, has just submitted his annual
report. 1t shows there are SI,I72, 789
taXables in the state: value of taxable
real estate property in the state last year
was S1,540,69S ,27S There was sos, ,6IO,-
524 worth of property exempt.
Is the world becoming totally de-
PRAYED? From Montlep1, Canada, is re-
ported the death of an eight-year-old
boy, caused by excessive indulgence in
the use Of alcoholic liquors. The coro-
ner's jury brought in a verdict of willful
murder against the parties who fur
nished him the liquor.
Felo de Sc has its curiosities. At
Paducah, KY on the 18th, Philander
Henderson, aged thirteen years, COM
mitted suicide. No cause is known for
the act unless grief over the absence OF
favorlte brother who ran away from
home and was not permitted to return
by the father
The state agricultural society of
Georgia was in session at Augusta on St.
Valentines day, the 18th inst. The senti-
ment was decidedly in favor Of planting
more grain aud less cotton. Hope other
states (Texas among them will take the
hint.

SPIRIT OF THE TEXAS PRESS.

Henderson News fdem.) Some OF our
exchanges are inclined to kick because
Mr. Hal. l.. Goshng was elected presi-
dent of the Texas Press Association-he
being republican in sentiment. If the
Press Association of Texas is to be made
a political body, we want nothing fur
ther to do with it and will tender our
resignation. We care not what political
tenets MIR. Gosling may hold, he Is as
consummate gentleman as Texas at-
fords.
Terrell Star (dem) Many of our ex-
changes have declared in favor of a
farmer for governor. 1t would be a
novel;and wholesome innovation to have
"a real, genuine farmer as the chief eX-
ecutive The farmers are the great con-
servative element III American politics,
but after all the true test for officials is
fitness, tiGelity and capacity, regardless
of what class they belong TO.
Brenham Banner (dem.); Hon. d. B
Culberson writes to the Texarkana In
ter-State from Wash ng con, that the par
ties are so evenly divided that nothing

both pal lies. Evely measure, Therefore,
which pal ,akes of part nature must
lie over. Tbs is veg good condition
of affairs, aud should enable conL less to
pass such measures as will be beneficial |
to the whole country.
Sherman Courier Chronicle (dem):
From official figures we le9'l that the
occupation taxes of the state J elded a
revenue last yea Of SG07GG335. Ofthis
amount liquor dealers paid over half, or
Sl57,522. Does it require IN ounce of
brains to see thi an ad vaiorem t, yW II
be necessary to make up any deficiency
caused by abol'sf;ug the license system?

1t is not at all probable that Governo
Roberts recommended the purchase of
4 hundred copies of his book on Texasr
for the use of the Sam Houston normal
school, at Huntsville. Mr. Baldwin,
the principal of the institution, seems
TO have been the moving spirit in the
transaction. Why he did so is a mere
matter of conjecture, for certainly the
work has no value as a text book. Per
haps the principal hoped to make fair
weather with the old alcalde, although
there is no reason TO believe the Gov
eruor would endorse or appreciate such
an exhibition of adulation. By good
rights principal Baldwin should have
paid the bill himself

Senator Coke, as will be seen from
this mornings kilograms, got in some
good work for Galveston yesterday,
succeeding, as he did, in securing the
passage of the bill appropriating $780,
O00 for the further improvement OF Gal
weston harbor The senator's earnest
action in this behalf will evoke univer-
sal commentator, for surely there is no
sectional feeling, anywhere in Texas
that is unfriendly to Galveston. She is
the chief city Of the state, and we all de-
sire to see her receive the most liberal
treatment at the hands of the national
government. In brief, whatever bene-
fits Galveston is, measurably, benefit
to all Texas. But Senator Coke should
not rest content with doing this good
work for Galveston. There are yet Sa-
bine Pass, Velasco, etc. They are all
important poipts and Texas can utilize
them all

Mississippi is talking Of calling con-
stitutional convention. We had one of
these conventions in Texas in 1856, and

ton, she viii make money by steering

From all accounts Emore Texans are
going TO New Orleans to spend the car
nival season than TO Galveston. It is .
pity TO have our chief metropolis passed
10y in this way, but it is TO be remem-
bercd that not until very recently was
there any certainty that Galveston
would attempt a Mardi Gras celebra-
ton. New Orleans posted the people
early and they made their arrangements
accordingly.

One Of the brethren swore that he paid

Statesman giving McCorkle particular

hasn't anything to do with this fuss, not
withstanding it is litigated in the name
of the church.
