Six Hundred Thousand Against a Few
Hundred.

In his report or the condition OF the saw
ings banks. the Bank Superintendent treats
the violent talk of the ScHwAB and MOST
Socialists as serious matter. We cannot tell.
he says. how soon we shall be compelled to
confront great anarchical uprising. But
he gains courage when he thinks OF the vast
army Of savings bank depositors, and Of the
hundreds OF millions they have at stake.
In truth, the figures he presents show to
how slight an extent our people have been
affected by the communistic rawlings, and
how futile the disorganizing efforts OF Mosr
and SCHwAB and their little company OF wild
agitators must be- Take this city, where, II
anywhere in the Union, they must look for
their largest following. We have In New
York twenty-five savings banks, which hold
SPA. 1851, representing open accounts to
the number Of 6lS.O94 That Is those deposit
tors are equal in number to nearly half the
population Of the city, and the average OF the
accounts Is the very considerable sum OF
S395.45. Even last year. which was one OF
business depression, the great sum OF $73,-
052,0S7 was deposited in the city savings
banks, and So, 235, go was credited as interest
on deposits.
With SO vast body OF capitalists, OF saw
ing and prudent people, New York is in no
danger from ngitators who propose to destroy
the rights Of property. 1t Is plain that the
Industrious workmen pay no heed to such
crazy talk, and that they go on accumulat-
ing, rs far as they are able, in utter disre-
gard Of school of Socialists who cry out
They have deep personal interest in the
~ Vi al al fnr
on it depends the security OF their own pos
sessions, and they are not the enemies OF cap
ital, because they are capitalists themselves.
The returns OF elections also show to what
IN insignificant extent the teachings OF men
like MosT have taken root here. At best,
these Socialists can muster only few hun
dred votes. and they are chiefly those OF nat
uralized Germans and Bohemans who came
here already indoctrinated and intlamed
against social order-men who have not yet
entered into the spirit OF our political insti-
tutions, and who are altogether out OF SYM
pathy with our republican society There
are not enough Of them to elect single man
to Office, and nowhere are they regarded
with more aversion and contempt than
among the workmen themselves.
The disposition to accumulate property
which is SO general, the vast sum OF the
savings banks deposits, and the great multi
tude OF depositors arc unQueStionably O safe
guard against social anarchy. But they arc
more than that. They afford practical evil
dence that the people are not tainted with
the poison, that they are natural enemies OF
those who would lead them to war upon law
and order.
Tho Anarchists shrek very loud because
they are so few that they could not other
wise attract the attention which their vanity
requires. Meantime, OF his own motion,
the industrious and level-headed workman
quietly deposits in the savings bank against
q rainy day the sums he saves by prudent
and valuable snlf-denial.

The roller skate mania is rigging with such

The roller skate mania is raging with such
virulencs in the West that legislators as well
as c.ergymen feel called upon to consider how
1t may be checked. A member of the Mime
sofa Legislature has introduced a bill provid-
ing that males and females shall not DO al

saloon keepers. whose business is seriously
damaged by the rival attraction. The saloon
keepers have resolved to boycott the stock
holders OF the rinks. but II the latter happen to
be total abstinence men they may be able to
survive ostracism. The roller skate seems at
present to be the most disturbing clement Of
American civilization.

The Beginning OF Ills Troubles.

A good thing to come Is commonly 0lp-
posed to be better than good thing past.
and so most people would rather be In Mr..
CLEvELAND's shoes than in Mr.. ARTHuR's
this present week. Tho philosopher. how
over, would be inclined to congratulate MIR.
ARTHUR rather than his successor. The
former has got over his public troubles;
the troubles OF the latter are just beginning.
Mr.. ARTHUR Is free from the importantly Of
Office seekers. and can return to his own vino
and fig tree with none to fear or make him
afraid. He carries into private life the gem
eral respect OF his countrymon, and even tho
venom OF faction within his own party will
soon cease to assail him. He Is freed from n
great responsibility, and henceforth his time
Is his own. And he can live in New York.
Mr. CLEVELAND, on the other hand, sturdy
and wcll-dlScsting ns lie is will find his con-
stituton and his temper sorcly tried by the
persistent demands Of the Office seekers. II
Is the inal!enable right of every American
citizen to get u job under the Government II
he can, and several hundred thousands of
American citizens will try to exercise that
right this spring. They are going on to
Washington in multitudes, aud poor Mr..
CLEVELAND can't barricadc tho White House
against them. II they don't talk him deaf,
dumb, and blind, he may thank his stars.
They will give him no peace and he can't
give them oil place; and go soreness OF
spirit will arise among them, aud some of
them will begin to abuse him with as much
fervor as they are now praising.
No President can escape the fate OF his sit
uation, and each must begin as thoy all do by
making enemies. There isn't bread and but
ter enough for the whole Democratic nursery.
and SO there will be bowling and making Of
faces.
But worse than the enemies which n
President must make arc the tlatterers and
parasites that get around him and mislead
his judgment and balk his best Intentions. IL
they can. But from these Mr.. CLEvELAND's
sound sense may. perhaps, BIO trusted to de-
liver him.
So, on the scoro Of comfort'and agreeable
surroundings, Mr. ARTHUR Is to be con-
graduated rather than his successor. But
what shining opportunities of personal dis
tnction and public duty lie before the latter!
And with these are perils to which thought
full men cannot be blind.

There is some talk about Brother BLAINE
going to the Inauguration ball. Certainly
he should 90. and bring all the other can
didates with him. 1t would b" n fine sight
10 see CLEVELAND. BLAINE. BUTLER and ST.
JOHN all dancing in the Same figure. Which
0. them would show up as the best dancer ?
Which would take the cake? This is a
suggestive question. and only experience
and critical observation can answer it
fully. Tho ordinary impression among the
ladies would probably be that Brother
BLAINE would be tho most graceful anu ee-
giant. and ST. JOHN. with his long and dropping
moustaches. the most agile and picturesque
but we have no doubt that in artistic and cul-
tured dancing BUTLER would carry off the palm.
Yet. in spite OF that. the eyes OF all the ladies
would doubtless be fixed on Brother CLEvE-
LAND The man who has SO many Offices to
give away would certainly outshlno in Il ball
room all the other fellows that he has Just
beaten at the ballot boxes.

THE VIRGINIA MIDLAND EARLY TRAIN.
( letter from Lynchburs says:
The early train on the Virginia Midland
Railway. which commenced running July D,
aud which leaves Washington at a. m. and
teaches here at , p. M, is fast becoming a
!nvorre. train with the travelling public.
and the reasons for this rapidly growing
nopularity are easy to discover. Passen-
"ers, particularly from Baltimore and Wash
ington, can take an early breakfast in either
city and take dinner in Lynchburg. Those
whose destinations are intermediate points,
>av Warreulon, Culpeper, Orange, &c.,
reach those points in time to transact q
DAYS business and return home on an even
ia% train, reaching Baltimore before mid
night. AT this point the new train makes
YEA. o,ab!y close connections with the Rich
.aonn and Ale shany +. r., whereby passen:-
~, for Buchanan, the Natural Bridge and
otuer points on .ha. road reach their desti-
na;ion in time for tea. The eastern connec-
lions over the Richmond and Allegheny
road are equally favorable. Passengers for
the Southwest, instead of laying over here
Tor twelve hours, as formerly, now expe-
renee but slight detention, and persons go
ing 10 Liberty Blue Ridge Springs, Roam
oke, Salem, Christiansburg, Allegheny,
Montgomery and Yellow Sulphur Springs
yet to their various points of destination at
all carly hour OF the evening. The former
service was ahoniuahlr, but all that Is gen.
elu,ls'y forgiven because of the present en-
terprise of the Virginia Midland road, which
has now furnished better passenger, mail
and express service than its patrons ever
enjoyed before. Success 10 the early train"
