seeking homes and those who have
capital to invest for speculation.

markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of every
purchaser. At the present low
figures a poor man can make regu-
lar payments on valuable home

Ond ballot as the first showed that they
might have done, but these men knew
that Western interests would suffer no
detriment by making Mr.. Reed Speaker,
and when they saw that their personal
or State favorite had no chance of sue
cess were quite as willing to support
MIR. Reed as any other man.
Mr.. Reed resides in the very north
eastern State in the Union, but being in
full accord with the aims and purposes
of the Republican party he is of neces-
sity national rather than sectional
man, and, as such, one section will fare
rs well as another at his hands. His
committees will, and, indeed, of neces-
sity, must be made up very much the
same as they would have been had
either of the other aspirants been Sc
lected for the speakership.
Whatever other parties may do in the
future, it is high time that those who as
sume to speak for the Republican party
should cease to demand the selection of
this or that man ON the ground that he
is from the West or from the East.

tion and gambling. We need the preach
ing of nobler creed than that money is
the one thing to be sought, and not to
have an abundance is to fail of the great
end of life. We need new gospel of
social ethics which will teach that hon.
est manhood and pure womanhood, that
brains, intelligence, faithfulness and
uprightness are the essentials to Great
ing the best society, and that nothing
can be more disgraceful than the vulgar
display of those who have become sud-
denly rich by accident. We need to i'm
press the young people of this country

his family, and that she is the ideal
woman whose devotion, tact and grace
conspire to make for her family an at

NATIONAL BANKS AND G0VERNMEN Mt
DEPOSITS.

The Secretary OF the Treasury has an
nounced his determination to reduce the
number of national bank repositories
and also the amount of government de-
posits until both shall be brought to
nominal figure. This is in accordance
with the views expressed by General
Harrison during the late campaign, and
will be continuation. on larger scale,
of the policy already inaugurated by
this administration.
The number of repositories and the
amount of government deposits in them
are now abnormally large. They be-
came so during Cleveland's administra-
tion. In 1883 the number of national
bank repositories was 40, and this was
the highest they had been for many
years. In 1886, when Cleveland came
into office, there were 132 repositories.
In 1886 they were increased to 16O, in
1887 to 200, and in 1888 to 29O.
At the same time the government
deposits were increased from S12,90i,-
432, in 1885, to 1913, 4S9 in 1888.
During Cleveland's term the number OF
repositories was more than doubled,
and the government deposits were quin-
tupled. OF the 15S additional banks
which Secretary Fairchild designated
rs repositories, nearly all carry what
are called at the Treasury inactive ac-
counts"-that is, accounts not necessary
in the transaction of government busi-
ness. They are otherwise known as
Surplus banks" The government
funds they carry are part of the Treas
ury surplus, and their designation as de-
positOries was a matter of favoritism
and not business.
Secretary Window will reduce the
number of repositories about 80 per
cent. and the amount of deposits about
two-th irds. The order will take effect
gradually, so as not to disturb business.
The surplus banks" or those having
inactive accounts, will be required to
surrender 10 per cent. of their deposits
on or before Jan. Is, 1890, and those hav-
ing active accounts will be called upon
for 10 per cent. of their deposits over
and above the amount actually needed
for the convenience of public business.
Further calls will be made from time to
time until the amount of deposits and
the number of repositories shall be re-
duced to the normal. The money thus
withdrawn from the banks will be used
in the purchase of government. bonds,
reducing the public debt and the an
nual interest account. We call this
good financiering.

OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT.

There is no doubt that the system Of
civil-service examinations is capable of
improvement in several particulars.
Commissioner Roosevelt recently COM
planned of P0stmaster-general Wana-
maker because he was reported to have
criticised the character of the questions
prOpOunded to applicants for admission
to the railway mail service. Mr.. Roose-
welt is an enthusiastic young man and
an ardent supporter of present meth
DDS, but, though he means we'll, he is
hasty. There is abundant proof that
the criticisms are well founded. The
latest comes from Senator German, a
man who is no friend of the reform, but
whose testimony in individual cases is
not less worthy of attention than if he
were its supporter. Said Mr.. German,
in recent talk with reporter:
] never pay any attention to the small
appointments but there was one case in
Baltimore some time ago that attracted my
attention. A very bright yOung man, of
splendid physique. and perfectly familiar
with every street and number in the city,
submitted himself for examination for a
position as letter-carrier He could read
and write. had been attending night-schoO,
and was in every way fitted for letter.
carrier, but he failed when asked the most
direct route from Baltimore 30 China He
said he had never been to China nor did
he expect to GO there. and he only wanted
to be a aletter-carrier
NIr. Roosevelt and other. advocates of
the system can do more to make it pop
ular and acceptable by looking into
such complaints and remedying defects
than by ignoring them and berating the
critics. The reform is yet in an en-
bryOtic state, and all suggestions look
ing to Improvement should be consid-
cred.

SECRETARY MOBILES REPORT.

The annual report of the Secretary of
the Interior is unusually long, and treats
very fully of all branches of the govern
ment service belonging to this inn
portant department.. No other depart
ment of the government embraces so
many or such varied interests, and it is
but just to say that Secretary Mobiles
report shows very thorough knOwl-
edge of them, and of administrative de-
tails. The report is much too long for
the Journal to print in full, but the main
points are given elsewhere.
The Secretary recommends consider
able increase in the appropriation for
pensions. The estimate Tor the current
year was SSO,O0O.OOO. The Secretary
finds this sum inadequate to the
necessities of the service, and
recommends an increase to S97, ,210,2 252 i'll
order that "a liberal and legal payment
may be made to all the deserving pen
sioners of the Republic" He recon-
mends the passage of dependent pen
sion bill, and gives strong reasons there
for. He would grant pension "tO ev
cry soldier and sailor who did substan-
tail service during the war in the army
OF navy and was hOnOrably discharged
therefrom, and who, being dependent
on his daily labor for his support, is now
or may hereafter be disabled from
procuring his subsistence by such labor"
This is iii accordance with the known
views of President Harrison, who will,
no doubt, make the same recommends
ton in his message.

sBCTIoNALISM IGNORED.

The Republican members of the in
coming House of Representatives en-
tirely ignored the appeals on behalf of
section in the selection of their candi-
dates. What is known as the West,
that is, the States west of the Atlantic
States, contains a decided majority of
the Republican members. 1t, therefore,
stands to reason that if they should
unite upon one man. the East would be
in perpetual minority. During the
past few months certain papers in the
West have appealed TO the aspirants for
the speakership to unite their votes
upon one of the candidates who would
be Western man, but all such appeals
fell upon deaf ears. The supporters of
Messsrs. Mckinley, Cannon, Henderson
and Burrows well knew that there was
nothing in the situation that made it
necessary for them to unite on one of
these gentlemen in order to defeat Mr..
Reed. IL the interests of the
great West would have been put
in jeopardy by the success of
Mr.. Reed, the supporters of all the
candidates from Western States could
have united to defeat him upon the Sec

THE TEN.STORY BUILDING.

The past week has exposed the weak
ness and the danger of the elegant fire
proof ten-story building. In Boston it
was tinder- in Minneapolis death
trap. In both instances the buildings
were costly and striking. They were
advertised as ten-stOry buildings, and
their exteriOrs were designed by the
architect and the builder to impress
those who saw them with the prosperity
and munificence of the owners. Even
in Boston they were built to impress the
public with the fact of the great wealth
OF the men or corporations building
them. The Minneapolis building was
one of the objects of local pride.
"Have you seen the ten-stOry Tribune
buildingT the visitor was asked. and, if
he hehadnOt, he was taken around to see that
marvel of stone, and brick, and opulent
fittings. 1t was constructed not only for
business purposes, but to strike the eye
and to impress people with the match
less prosperity of the growing city of
the Northwest. But with all the ex-
penditure to impress the senses with
the enterprise of the builders and
the rapid growth of the city, no suitable
provision was made for the safety of its
occupants, who numbered many scores.
A fire on any of the lower floors meant
death to the occupants above, because
there was but one avenue of escape-an
elevator and narrow stairway running
around it. This elevator way, in the
event of a fire, was chimney with i'm
mense draft to draw the smoke and
flames into it. There was not second
stairway in the building nor a fire.
escape on the outside. Consequently,
every man who went to the elegant
rooms above went to the chamber of
death in the event of a fire on the lower
floors. In such an hour, all the fine
marble, all the frescoed walls, all the
plate-glass and mahogany doors were
hollow mockery. An outside ire-escape
ladder, while it might have been
blemish to the outward magnifcence,
would have been worth all the opulepce
of construction and establishment.
Safety has been sacrificed to show and
the vulgar love of display. That is all
| there is about it. but it is enough.
