THE Post conquers its disguest for

with great reluctance.

THE San Antonio Times, in a dig
nified, caustic and elegant way, reads
the Express lesson upon the Essen
tials to the successful conduct of pub
lie journals" which that empty pre-
tense and awful jibe on decent jour-
nalism might heed, and still do itself
no very fatal injury. The Express
course here of late has been almost
inexplicable on any other theory than
that it has gone daft, or that it has
come to the conclusion that there is
more money in dirt than cleanliness.
THE STATESMAN criticised its brutal
treatment of the Thompson assassina-
ton, and at once the dastardly paper
commenced a system of personal
abuse of the editor as vile and con-
temptible as ever animated from a
Billingsgate sheet on earth. Deter
mined not to be drawn into any such
squabble, THE STATESMAN has been
careful in all of its treatment of the
Express to avoid personal reference
except pleasant allusion to the late
marriage of its editor. This forbear
ance has been met in the way the
Times says, in an article which we re
produce elsewhere to-day. There arr
none Of us perfect, but indeed the
Express has gone too far, and it ha:
earned the contempt of every fai

conduct has been noted. Fie, fol

THE news of the prospect of an ear
ly adjustment of the troubles in Mex
leo is hailed here with delight. 1t
could be nothing else save genuine
disaster if there was to be racket in
Mexico. The permanent injury would
be very grave, but the interruption in
the present trade and the destruction
of existing combinations would also
be serious. We sincerely trust that
the better second thought will prevail
and that peace will still continue her
blessed offices in that rapidly awaken
ing country.
WITH the further quarrel between
the Post and News we have nothing to
do save to record its salient points and
tragic events. The Post on Saturday
published the celebrated mortgage for
$4,000. That mortgage cuts little
figure in the case. There is no earthly
reason why the News should not tote
one If it cares to. There is not a rail-
road OF any other corporation what
ever which is not mortgaged to some
extent or other. The solyency of
company SO situated is indicated by Its
ability to pay interest on its mortgage,
and other paper, pay cash for what it
buys and for the Improvements it
carries forward. This matter will not

A SPLENDID FIELD FOR IDLE CAP
ITAI..

The bank vaults Of San Francisco
are so full of coin and other currency
waiting favorable openings for invest
ment, that the banks are compelled to
refuse to accept deposits. A few
days ago gentleman of this city sent
$4,000 to the Hibernia bank, aud a
few DAYS thereafter the bank acknowl-
edged receipt, but informed the cor
respondent that it did not receive de-
posts of over $4,000 from any one
dcpositor. The other $1,000 was
therefore held subject to his order.
This either denotes very prosperous
state Of affairs, or great sta gnation
in business and lack Of confidence.
If the San F'ranciscans only knew, they
could invest over $5,OOO,O0O in the
mines of this region, with the GER
tainty Of receiving immediate and
enormous returns Unfortunately fol
them and for Wood River, the Sar
Franciscans have been so swindled by
mining sharps that they would not in
vest in mine even if it were tillet
