Around an opposite corner came fussy old
woman, holding closed green umbrella.

goodness, will no one stop it?' Nobody felt
inclined to stop the peaceable old trotter

HILL SEES THE PRESIDENT.
Senator Hill Holds a Long Consultation
with Mr.. Cleveland.

Senator Hill Holds a Long Consultation
with Mr.. Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The one great
feature of interest in political circles to.
day is the visit Of Senator David B. Hill
to his greatest political rival, President
Cleveland. Senator Hill came to the
White House this morning by appoint
ment, presumably arranged by Congress-
man Rockwell, of New York, during his
visit to Mr.. Cleveland Tuesday. That
his visit was more than a mere perfume
tory call, is attested by the length of the
interview. 1t lasted twenty minutes, and
during that time Mr.. Cleveland received
no cards from the waiting politicians in
the cabinet room. Hill came early. The
great flood of office seekers had not be-
gun to flow into the White House when
he arrived. He passed rapidly through
the hallway in the public part of the man
sion into the room of Private Secretary
Thurber, who evidently had been posted,
for he ushered him into the adjoining ex.
ecutive Office without a moments DELAY.
When Mr.. Hill entered the presidents
room word was sen to Doorkeeper Loef-
fer that Mr.. Cleveland was very busily
engaged and could not see any visitors
for some time. AS a consequence, the
arriving delegations soon filled the cabi-
net room, and by the time Mr.. Hill left
the White House there were more men
than seats in the apartment. The inter
view was, of course, of a strictly private
character, but from the fact that it had
been previously arranged, and from its
length, there can be little doubt that it
was of more than a mere official or social
character.

We designate this as the superlative OF
Tuffness. We not only regard it alone
in that light, but we think that this is a
cruel blow to several deserving men.
In other words, we judge that we are
to infer from COLONEL BIssELL's grand
manifesto, that the p~ostofices are to be
given alone ID the professional politician
and peculiarly partizan place-hunter.
That is to say, if SMITH land not your

worked with all of his vigor and enthu
siasm to show that Mr.. CLEVELAND

You'd gun-shot of possibility that the said
SMITH expected the postof1ce in his town.
And especially is this true where there is
but one newspaporial SMITH.
But MIR. BIssELL says that the man
who gets the p~ostofice must be a fellow
who, so far as present business is CON
cerned, has no visible means of support.
THE GLOBE believes that to those who
did the best work for a victory and those
who have done the most for the party in
power, are the ones who should be hon
ored with appointments to places of trust.

the case it was reasonably expected that
the last congress would make liberal pro-
vision for its extension. 1t refused to do
so, however, and the people of rural COM
munities must be content with existing
conditions for at least a year or two
more. This measure, it should be OBJ
served, passed the senate, and its failure
was due to the house-an instance of
democratic economy. Another of the
bills that failed for which there is a wide
popular demand, was the one to establish
postal savings banks. There are the
most cogent arguments in favor of banks
of this kind, particularly in the smaller
towns where there are no savings banks,
and where their establishment would en-.
able millions of the people to put away a
part of their earnings in a place of abso-
lutte security. The tendency of such in
stitutions would be to encourage pru-
dence and thrift among the people, and
their demonstrated success in other coun-
tries amply attests their value. But con-
gress failed to be impressed by these con-
siderations and the bill failed.
All these measures, had they become
laws, would have contributed to the gen.
eral welfare and none of them would
have added anything to the cost of gov
eminent. Their failure is a part of the
evidence of the incompetencY of the last
congress. They will all doubtless be
brought forward in the next congress
and there is reason to hope with a better
chance of success.
