Savings BANKS For the People.

There is ground for saying that the
Postmaster General will make the postal
savings bank proposition a leading feat
ure of his annual report. The chief ad-
vantage of such a system Is that 1t would
encourage thrift among the people. They
can now. of course, put their little saw
ings in savings institutions, but a large
proportion of them are not within easy
distance of such institutions, and still an
other portion have no confidence in banks.
There is no doubt that vast amount
of money would be entrusted to the gov
eminent annually if satisfactory pos
tai savings bank system were adopted.
A difficulty the government would en-
counter is this: What securities could
the money be invested in that would In
sure its safety? The time is pretty GER
tain to come when it will be difficult, if
not impossible, to get government bonds.
1t is not easy to get them now, even when
a high premium is offered for them.
To find satisfactory securities would put
a pretty heavy burden on the Postmaster
General. Still, the difficulty in finding ac-
ceptable securities would not be permit
ted TO stand in the way of the postal
bank scheme
The pressure for the scheme comes
mainly from the rural districts. The
country people VINO have little savings
would gladly trust their money to the
government at a small rate of interest.
They don't know very little about banks,
and much of that which they do Know is
not calculated to inspire trust in them.
They see accounts of bank failures and
that makes them regard such institutions
with suspicion. For the cities the situa-
ton is different. The people have bet
ter chance to know something of banks.
and, hence, they have confidence in them.

According to our dispatches of yester-
day, the city council of New Orleans finds
itself unable to provide further funds for
the sanitary fight. and has taken steps
to raise money. The information is that
the city has been spending $4,000 a month
because of the fever ever since the vista
ton began, and that it is losing not less
than 100000 a week through suspension
of business and diversion of trade The
pestilence Is very costly thing, from all
points of view. Manifestly, an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure in
matters of this kind. This should be
taken into consideration i'll other southern
cities when there is proposition to i'm

The Richmond Dispatch, having heard
for a second time the rumor that ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland desires to be United States
senator from New Jersey to succeed Sen
ator Smith, whose term expires in 1899,
says: This repetition of the story makes
it seem that there is something in the
report" Not necessarily, by any means.
There are certain persons and newspapers
which cannot be happy unless they are
throwing mud at Mr. Cleveland. When
they come into possession of a tempting
COB of mud, they revive the senatorship
story so as to give them an excuse for
throwing it.

Preston that the output of gold for the

of the sum total Mr. Preston estimates
that two-thirds viii 80 into the c-rculat-

ton of S16o. 100000 of gold to the money of

is increasing rapidly, the silver production
is failing off. This being true the pre-

There may develop differences between
Mr. Henry George and the democratic al
lance which nominated him for mayor Of
New York. While the democratic alliance
did not use the word silver in its plat
form, 1T emphatically Endorsed the Chi
cago platform of 1895, which included the
free, unlimited and INDEPENDENT coinage Of
silver at the ratio of Is to l with gold. Mr..
George gave the New York Herald of sun
day an interview in which he said: Il
am not silver man, and never was one.

ticket last year because they more nearly

than any others. ! shall stand on
the platform Of 1856" He had reference
to the municipal Platform on 1885, upon
which he ran for the mayoralty on the la
Dor ticket. 1t is a little difficult to see
how Mr.. George Is going to avoid a strict
adherence to and advocacy Of tbs. sixteen
to one idea embodied in the platform upon
which he has been nominated. The peo-
pie who have nominated him say they
mean to make the fight strictly on the line
of the Chicago declaration of principles.

that Mr.. Corbett will be seated when

1T HAS COME TO STAY.

Especially lnopportune just at this
time is Congressman Grosvenor's at.
tack upon the civil service law. All
parts of the country are suffering
from an aggravated attack of spoils-
men IN Office. Healthy-minded citi-
zens in Greater New York are aghast
at the prospect of that'city being for
years under the miserable domain of
Tammany. In different states dur
ing the last year have legislatures
been held up and necessary leglsla-
ton thwarted through the voracious
selfishness of petty politicians hunt
ing for place and power.
Portland is awakening to the fact
that good government is denied her
because the spoilsmen, headed by
Pennoyer and Davis, are turning the
city machinery into an instrument
for the protection and enrichment of
themselves and hungry henchmen.
Only through the patriotic efforts
of Presidents Harrison, Cleveland
and Mckinley has the national gov
ernment been saved from being
football, tossed hither and there by
men incapable of managing their own
private interests successfully, but
confident of their ability to serve in
the public capacity.
The advance of civil service re-
form during the last ten years has
been the most gratifying ohenome-
non of our national life. Steady
progress has been made in lifting ma
tional offices from out the clutches of
the spoilsmen, and though heavy
obstacles have been thrown in the
way, the work has gone persistently
on, till now most of the departments
in Washington are being conducted
on business basis.
This government was not insti-
tuted to provide positions for all who
want them. There are higher and
more weighJy matters which should
occupy the attention of our execu-
tive and lawmakers. The early
policy of the nation was in favor of
the governments work beng done
by those most competent to do it,
and it was not until Andrew jackson
found his way to the presidency that
the idea of parcelling out the offices
on account of political preference be-
gan to dominate. None will gainsay
that the heads of all departments
and such offices which depend upon
political policy, should be filed with
men In sympathy with the principles
of the dominant party; but it is just
as true that every small clerkship
should not be delegated every four
years as a reward of political merit
The country has too much politics
now; what it needs is more business
sense in the conduct of its AFFAIRS.
The continuation of the civil ser
vice idea offers the only hope in thi;
direction, and we believe the Amer
lean people can be depended upor
to see that 1t shalt reman. President
Mckinley was right when he salc
"The civil service system has the
official sanction of the people.

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

1t VIII BE Counted In the House on
Wednesday = Congressman Murray
About Persuaded Not to Contest South
CaroIina's vote-TiIlmau's Threat.
WASHINGTON, Feb s.-The feature of
the week in the house will be the cere-
monies on Wednesday on the occasion
of the counting Of the electoral vote
and the formal promulgation of the
election OF Mckinley and Hobart by
the vice president Of the United States.
1t is a state occasion but of q very for.
NAL character.
Representative Murray, of South
Carolina, the only colored man now in
the house, who had decided to protest
against South Cardinals electoral vote,
has been appealed to by his associates in
the house not execute his programme
and it is likely he will abide by their
advice.
Murray had caused to be prepared a
petition of monster proportions signed
by thousands of citizens of South Caro-
lima, protesting against the counting of
the electoral vote of that state ON the
ground that the election laws and the
state constitution of South Carolina are
violative of the constitution of the
United States.
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
said that if Mckinley is going to be
inaugurated on March A the vote of
South Carolina would have to be
counted next week. He asserted that
the opposition to counting the vote had
behind it a scheme to reduce southern
representation in congress and in the
electoral college and declared that if
the Republicans intended to make an
attack ON South Cardinals state consti.
manner than by endeavoring to prevent
the counting of her vote for Bryan.
