How Politics Pay.
Bedrock Democrat.

Postmaster General Gresham is re-
ported to have discovered three men
now employed in the Chicago Post
office to whom the Government has
been paying salary of $500 year
who have no duties to perform. The
departments special agents have de-
clared the offices sinecures. The men
who have held these places are well
known politicians who have been al
lowed a salary they made no pretence
Of earning. How the postmaster hap
pened to drop on the delinquents at
the present time, in the midst of a
campaign, is not explained. The Of
fees are held by Republicans friendly
to the Republican ticket, who are do
ing as much to earn their salaries as
they ever did. While the post, aster-
general will be commended for his
desire to prune the department Of
idlers, good many people will won
der how he happened to make the
discovery that they were doing moth
ing to earn their saleries in the inter-
i'm between the Republican National
Convention and the day of election.
If the President had not declared over
and again that he hoped to see Blaine
elected there might be suspicion
that these Offices were to be abolished
because the persons holding them
were the devoted adherents of Blaine
and Logan. But we know that both
the President and the postmaster
general are sincerely interested in the
success OF the Republican ticket, be-
cause they have said so.

is not difficult to see how easily the New
Orleans insult can be overbalanced by recent
devotion to Southern principles. AS an eV'-

fact that General Butler sat in the House Oh

Batter can carry the delegation from his own

hoard of directors, which ought to be an
efficient check upon the president. LII pfaet,ce
IL has been shown that these directors may pc
mere dummies and that the president may
WELD absolute authority and direct everything
without consulting or informing them. The
consequences of such an arrangement may III
any time be disastrous for no man, Whatever
his character and reputation may be, is ut TO De
iptrusted, irresponsibly, with large sums Vi
money belonging to other people.
Recent events have shown that even the best
meaning and most honorable men may, when
placed in such circumstances, do things uhder
nressnre which nobody would have thought
them capable Of The fact is that no man
ought to be subjected to such temptation, anu
if men are so subjected aud fall, the blame must
be put Mt least as much upon the system us
upon the individuals. The more prosperous
community is the greater is the necessity ior
puttng restraint upon bank officers, inasmuch
rs the mere observation of current opportunities
for profit may easily overcome the resolve OF an
ambitious man who has free access to millions.
II will not do to trust whollyto character, as too
many instances prove. The one sure recourse
is system which so ties the hands OF the pahh
officers that they cannot handle the funds OF the
bank for any other purposes than those OF
legitimate business The depositOrs may put
their faith in machine, but they cannot trust
implicitly in any one-man power, ana they
ought not to be asked to do so. OF course when
boards OF direction neglect their duties, or allow
a president to usurp all the powers OF action
they betray their clients, and such neglect
ought to be punisha Die, for it has been far too
common in the past
In safely conducted bank the board should
know and take part in everything of Importance
that is done. To make up directories OF men
whose names alone are wanted, and that merely
for advertising purposes, is in effect to deceive
the public by pretending that a vigilance VIII

ouslv the presidents could do little harm; but II

THE PREVENTION or BANKING FRAUDS.
The American people have already learned
that in public concerns the only way to obtain
absolute security against wrong doing is to re-
move all opportunities. Experience shows that
whenever power is placed in the hands of in
diyiduals, tendency to abuse it is apt to arise.
Human nature is weak in the face of tempta-
ton, and especially when pecUniary interests are
involved. Systems, therefore, which provide
ample checks and balances are demanded, and
of late years have been adopted in all public
Offices, and in many if not most private bust
nesscs. The recent dissipation of bank funds
which has contributed SO powerfully to disturb
financial circles was largely due to the impru-
dent concentration of power in the hands of in
diyiduals In theory every bank is managed by
