TEsc Postal Savings, sssgs!1.

We have a representative OF ~ limited
ability, in Congress from this district;
he is furthermore known to be midas
tlious and painstaking in lis position
he has secured iiatterng attention in
the House and has demonstrated that
brains and courage are recognized as
being valuable adjunct to member,
ship Of that body.
Now, it so happens that Congress-
man McComAs has yet project, one to
which he will bend his best energies,
and that is the Postal Savings Bank.
We do not purpose discussing the
merits Of the measure in this article,
bat simply wish to say that the Postal
Savings Bank is fortunate il having
been adopted by so able and &cgr. s2jve
a godfather and further, that, now that
he has three sessions before him in
which to advocate its passage, the
American people can pretty safely ex
pect the Postal Savings Bank.
That we may not lie misunderstood,
we will say that the measure as formu-
lated by Mr.. MtComaS is, in cur crin-
ion, one Of prim" Importance and will

WHY SUNSET wEPT.

1t Is said that our minister to Turkey,
Hon. SUNSET Cox, was very much affected
recently by visit to the grave of HANNI-
BAL, his sympathies being so wrought upon
that he shed tears over the resting place of
the famous Carthagenian general. We are
not told what occasioned the emotional
overflow. Mr.. CoX's is one of those bright
sunny natures that never take affection to
heart. And even If he did, HANNIBAL.
has been dead so long that the
wound ought to have been cured in Mr..
CoX's breast by this time, 1t has been
over 2, 900 years since the famous general
and statesman kept the oath of eternal hos
tility to Rome, made to his father at the
early age of years, by taking his own life
rather than be betrayed into the hands of
his enemies. Such lapse of time ought to
be sufficient to assuage ordinary human
grief over the death of an individual. 1t
was perhaps the recollection of one trait in
HANNIBAL's nature that touched the well
spring of Sunsets sympathetic nature.
During MS civil administration HANNIBAL
developed the qualities of a great re-
former. It was his hostility to the
embezzlers of the public revenues
and monopolizers of Office that chiefly
crowned his fame as civil ruler. 1t was
perhaps because of the recollection of this
fact that Sunset wept. There are no
HANNIBALs i'll these days of political de-
generacy. Mr.. COX's twenty years in con-
gress gave him an opportunity to know
enough of American pOliticaI life tn realize
that when brought in contrast with the
sterling patriotism Of the old Carthagenian
barbarian. it would make an angel weep

WASHINGTON, Sept. PA gentleman
OF high standing in the Republican party,
and who is well known in Minnesota and
we'll acquainted with the history of her
men of prominence, says that he is more
than disguised with the methods which GER
tain alleged journalists have been pursuing
in their antagonsm of the Democratic can
didate for governor. He says:
Decency in political warfare must prevail.
The time for the avocation of the detractor
and defamer of public men has passed away
in this country. Nothing can be accomp-
hshed by assaults upon the private characters
OF public men. When see q paper of re-
spectabll1ty and standing in community be-
foul1ng its columns in a vain effort to smirch

ANOTARLEINPEACHMENT

An illustration of what one honest, wide
awake newspaper can do is found in the re-
suit of the fight between the Philadelphia
Times and the mayor of that city. When
the Times first preferred charges of NAL
administration against Mayor SMITH. the
mayor and his friends smiled in contempt
upon what they professed to regard as the
puny effort of partisan paper to make po-
lltical capital The Times kept bang
ing away, hunting up evidence and
publishing it, until at last. in respect
to the aroused public sentiment,
the common council of the city of Philadel-
phia has been compelled to impeach the
mayor and he is now arraigned Oh trial
The Times has made a damaging case
against him, and if the statements which
have been published are borne out by the
testimony there seems to be no escape from
conviction. 1t is pretty tough ON the sec
ond city of the Union to have its chief mag
istrate impeached on charge of embezzIe-
ment, but it is fortunate thing for the
city that it has newspaper with the moral
pluck and power to hunt the rascals down.

A SUGGESTION FOR CHICAGO


When Chicago was laid waste by the
great fire, universal sympathy was aroused
for her desoIate condition, and from all
quarters Of the country poured in a golden
stream to strengthen her and enable her to
recover her former greatness. That she
has done so need not be said. But of the
immense amounts of money which then
remains yet good portion I'M
used. With the accrued interest, this
fund now. it is stated, amounts to 1,700,-
600. Chicago no longer has any need of it.
She cannot hOnorably spend it for any
other purpose, except as was originally in
tended, to relieve distress. 1t is altogether
improbable that Chicago will ever again be
visited with calamity of universal nature
such as the great fire. What, then, shall
she do with this large uneXpended balance
of charitable contributions? There is
one obvious means of dispOsing of
it which would meet with general
commentator. Let her send it to Charles
ton to be used as building fund OF in any
other way the wisdom of competent COM
mittee may suggest. Charleston still stands
in dire need, and although the generous re-
spouse from all sections of the country to
her appeals have relieved the pressing ne
eessltIes of her people. there is yet much to
be done. The Chicago fund would be sin
gularIy appropriate, for having been 0Orig
inally subscribed by the people, it would be
donation from them again, and the pur-
pose for which it was at first intended
would thus, analogOusly, be carried out.
