The Maverick Bank.

The announcement made this MORN
ing that the Maverick bank had made
q general assignment for the benefit
of all his creditors, astonishes no on
who is familiar with the circumstan-
ces. The run on this bank has been
too persistent to be other than an or
ganized scheme, otherwise after the
occurrences of Saturday and the en-
dorsement of Mr.. Maverick by the
banks of this city, the run would have
ceased. 1t did not, and Mr.. Maverick,
finding that he could not Immediate
ly return the deposits made by his
friends during Saturday and subse-
quently, and not wishing farther to
embarrass them, has taken this course.
1t is wise precaution, as 1t will en-
able him to show his assets and prove
that the run was senseless and that
his friends were justified in advanc-
ing funds as they did. No bank in
this state could have stood against
such run in which $l75,00 were
drawn out at the most critical season
of the whole year.

THE AMERICAN HOTEL OFFICE.

Harper's Weekly.
The American hotel proprietor
differs from his brother elsewhere in
the extent to which he gratuitously
supplies a social exchange for all
well-behaved individuals who see fit
to avail themselves of it. An out
slider who enters European hotel lie,
as rule, expected TO state what
brings him there, but in this country
he makes about as free use of the
place as he does of the post-office;
enjoys its chairs, light, and warmth,
and seems to regard it as general
club of which he is a member in full
standing, but relieved from any pay
ment of annual dues. In times of
political or other excitement, the A
merican hotel office, with ITS broad
spaces, presents the appearance of
town meeting, and at all times it is
more or less headquarters for pol
itians, business men, and others,
who have no real claims upon its
hospitality.
It's understood that some of the
new large hotels in process of erect
ion in New York will not offer facili-
ties OF this description for those who
are not guests. The would be visitor
must pass the gauntlet of concierge,
and satisfactorily explain the why
and wherefore of his coming before
gaining access to the interior, and
even the guests will not be encour-
aged in the habit of spending their
idle time in the precinct presided
over by the clerk. 1t remains to be
seen If this ransatlantic order of
things will gain q permanent foot
hold on our soil. The American of
to-day Is gregarious. He likes his
hotel to be run on the same princi-
pie as his railway cars, and regards
them as mainly useful for sleeping
purposes.

What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
The people are very quiet so far a.
any movement in the direction OF the
city election is concerned, bnt public
sen timent is ripe for revolt against
the present reigning forever.
The people want mayor who will
not only preside with dignity and
fairness over the city council and ex-
ecute the city ordinances, but repre-
sent the best elements of the COM
munity, by his exemplary conduct in
his every day life.
A prominent German who has OPP
portunity 20 know the sentiment of
the German citizens AYERS, that they
are very unanimous in favor of a
change of city administration, but
despair of its being brought about be-
cause the Americans are Indifferent.
On the other hand, better posted
Americon citizens complain that the
Germans seem to be content to be
bOssed forever. The truth is, If the
Intelligent taxpayers were to come to-
gether they would find a wonderful
unanimity of sentiment prevailing.

The mayor of our city is like light
on hill; every one expects to look up
to see him; every object beneath him
should be flooded with the light of
his good example, his wise action,
and his splendid character.
Our city has become large bust
ness concern; its capital is over twen-
ty-five millions of dollars; Mavericks
bank is q small concern in compare
son. Such a concern cannot be long
run on the hurrah principle, and the
people who back this municipal cor
poration are excusable for feeling uu-
easy over their affairs.
