Bissell's Annual Talk.

/ Postmaster General Bisselrs annual re-
port is rather brighter and more breezy
. than such reports usually are. 1t contains
recommendation that will stir up the
politicians and the publishers of trashy
literature.
The Postmaster General wants to make
the postomce department self-sustaining,
and therefore he is anxious to get rid
of some of the burdens which have been
saddled upon it.
He doesn't see why the mails should
be burdened with the Congressional Rec
ord. Congressman who never deliver
speech on the floor Of congress appear in
that publication as the authors of speeches
that take hours to read. They are largely
made up of extracts from various publ
cations, and it would not be surprising
if some of these days soap and patent
medicine advertisements should appear
in them. If congressman want their
speeches and other literary productions
to reach their admiring constituents they
ought to pay the postage on the Rec
ords they send out. There is no good
reason why they should have the free
use Of the mails.
The attack of the Postmaster General
on the cheap novels that are now carried
in the mails as second-class matter will
arouse the ire of publishers of that class
of literature. And yet the Postmaster
General is right. Publications of that
sort are as much books as cloth-bound
volumes, and publishers should be re-
quired to pay book postage on them.
The spoils politician will object strenu-
ously to the recommendation that fourth,
class postmasters be brought under the
civil service regulations. The Postmaster
General however, says that if postmas,
ters of that class were removed for cause
only, the result would be vast improves
ment in the postofice service, and there
is no doubt that the statement is correct.
1t is difficult to get competent men to ac-
cept the little postoffices that pay $50 or
500 a year, and when a competent man
gets one of those Offices he ought to be
allowed to hold it as long as he wants
it. The good of the service should be
aimed at. The wishes and interests of
the spolsmen should not have any weight.
There are other recommendations that
are good, and congress should act upon
them promptly. The sooner the post
Office department is made self-sustaining
the sooner we shah reach 1-cent postage

A Special Message.

! The tone of the message which the gov
I ernor sent TO the legislature yesterday,
and the topics touched upon in it, leave
the impression that he feels that unless
/ the legislature is prodded a little it viii
/ not accomplish a great deal this session
/ Only about three weeks Of the session re-
main, and the really important measures
have as yet received very little considera-
ton.
The governor thinks that our judiciary
system needs a very thorough overhaul
ing. He Is right about that. BY imDrov-
ing it so that it would be i'm harmony with
our present needs and our understanding
of what it should be the state would be
benefited in many respects, some Of
which the governor points out
The governor is in touch with public
sentiment in respect to the public schools,
and the necessity for a general registra-
ton law. He knows. as every well-wisher
Of the state knows, that a stop must be
put to ballot box frauds. The people want
a pure ballot, and they win have it, even
if they have to turn down the machine
politicians in order to set it. Unless the
ballot box is put beyond the reach of fraud
it will be impossible to get self-respect-
ing men to go to the polls or to take any
interest in elections. The elections viii
fall into the hands of those who are in
politics for what they can make out of it.
If reports are to be credited both the
democrats and the populists were guilty
Of TvfaI
elections-hence, neither party is in po-
sition to accuse the other, and the best
men Of both parties are now demanding
a law to put an end to corrupt election
practices. They see the evils and dangers
Of such practices and they insist upon
legislation that will make them impossi-
BILE.
The startling feature of the message is
the announcement that the Northeastern
road Is not paying operating expenses
and the interest on its bonds, which are
indorsed by the state. Gov. Northen's
message issued only a few weeks ago.
contained an entirely different announce
ment In that message the people were
given to understand that the road was
earning enough to meet all Of it's obiga-
tions and that, therefore, they need not
feel any anxiety about the matter-that
the state would not be called upon to pay
either the bonds or the interest on them.
1t seems however, that the figures that
were given Gov. Northen by the states
agent did not convey the whole truth
that is, that the physical condition of the
road had been allowed to run down, and
that the net earnings would have been
much less had not this been the case. AS
it looks now the state win not be able to
get enough for the road to pay the bonds.
The advice the legislature should give
the governor is to sell the road as soon as
it can be sold at a fair price. The longer
a non-paying property is held the less
likely is the state to get rid Of it without
a serious loss. If it becomes a foot ball
for the politicians the state viii be out
a large sum before it gets rid of it.

North Carolina 6 senatorships.

The st. Louis Globe-DemocraJ censures
the republicans of North Carolina for their
alliance with the populists. Better no
United States senator's" it saws. than
the surrender of a grain of republican
honor and honesty" The Globe Democrat
unwarrantedly assumes a great deal to
bo true when it talks about the republi-
cans of North Carolina surrendering a
grain of republican honor and honesty
in return for a senatorship. In the first
place, it would be rather difficult TO sur
render something that is not possessed,
and in the second place, the republicans
have not yet got the senatorshio, pur-
chased at the price of amuation with the
populists. And what is more, they may
not get it, There is no affinity between
the populist and republican elements in
North Carolina. They made a coalition
in a cut-throat game, and having won the
stakes they are now prepared to cut each
others throats for the DOODLE
Mr.. Marion Butler, who will boss the
new legislature, is unpopular with the re-
publicans. They look upon him as unre-
liable and tricky Mr.. Buffers PROPOSE
tion that he take the long term sena-
torship for himself and give the repubIi-
cans the short term did not entirely please
the republicans, but they regarded the Of
fer as the best terms they could get and
went to work to select a man for the
place. Recently, however. there has been
a halt in their plans and a frog in the
throat of their enthusiasm. 1t has come
to their ears that Mr. Butler is plotting
to capture both of the senatorships for
the populists and give the republicans
nothing.
The changed state of affairs comes
about this way: Butler believes now
that ten more populists than republicans
will sit in the legislature Butler will. il
is said, force the fusionists into caucus
and pledge every one to stand by the eau
! Gus action. The populists will then eau
Gus themselves into all of the offices, the
/ two senatorships included, and leave the
republicans to eat as dry a dish of crow
/ as ever cloyed a political palate If But
/ Ter cannot work his little confidence game
through to the end ne may let in as his
colleague in the Senate a man who is more
of fusonist than a republican But
Raleigh advices say he will try to turn
down his allies and keep the spoils
for his own party.

1t is suspected that there is connection
between the projected silver trust re-
ferred TO In these columns the other day.
and the great war indemnity that China
will be compelled to pay to Japan. The
purpose Of the trust, so it is understood
is to obtain control Of the output of silver
of both this country and Mexico Mexico
has bcen supplying China with her silver
circulating medium. Should the trust be
able to control both the American and
the Mexican silver supply, IT might be
able to wiring a good profit out Of China

as a factor in the silver question, for the

The stockholders of the Shoe and
Leather Bank of New York city have been
assessed to make good the loss which the
capital Of the bank sustained by the steal
ing of its funds by one of it's bookkeepers
and a confederate, who was a customer
of the bank. The amount which was
stolen was, according to our New York
dispatches $35400O, The amount which the
stockholders win have to make up is about
$4,000, as the bank had a surplus of $3.50, 600
A question which presents itself is this:
Ought not the president and directors Of
the bank be required to make good the
loss of the bank? 1t seems that the money
was not all taken at one time. 1t was taken
at various times through a period Of
been discovered at the time it was had it
not been for the fact that the bank had
announced that a new and modern sys-
tenn of keeping the books of the banks was
about to be adopted, thus making it inn
possible for the guilty bookkeeper longer
to keep his crime concealed.
Was not the president and directors TO
bidllt Loi the lOSS OL lHt money w nat
sort of bookkeeping must that of the
bank have been which made it possible to
rob the bank for eight years and to steal
$3540 without detection? Was it not the
duty of the president and directors to have
adopted long ago a system of bookkeep-
ing that would have made the robbing of
the bank by the means employed impossi-
bic? And is it not strange that the disap-
pearance from the assets OF the bank OF
so large a sum did not attract attention?
Bank presidents and bank directors in
too many Instances nowadays are alto
gcther too negligent in the discharge OF
their duties They do not take the trou-
BILE to verify the statements of their en-
ployes that everything is right. They are
more intent upon looking after their OWE
ease and comfort than they are in dis
charging the duties they have undertaken
to perform. A good law would be to com.
pei the president and directors of a bank
which has suffered a loss through thou
neglect to make good the loss. If there
were such a law as that in New York it is
safe to say that the Shoe and Leather
/ Bank would not have suffered such a
/ heavy loss.
