As to Bank Examinations.
There is surely something wrong
abouta system of bank examinations
which never detects a defalcation until
the last dollar is abstracted from the
1111. ‘
The failure of the National Union
Bank of New Orleans is a case in point.
Through a clumsy system of false en-
tries that could not have withstood one
single rigid investigation it was robbed
inafew years of its entire capital, a
half million dollars.
From the multiplicity of'such cases
one is almost led to believe} that 'bank
examiners lack one essential sense——
, eyesight, says the New York Herald.
Whisky and Ollicial Rebates.
The vaunted dispensary liq'ior law of:
South Carolina, which was to reduce '
the evils resulting from the liquor traf-
fie to the minimum and produce a profit
to the State in the bargain, has got it-
self or the officers charged with its ex-
ecution into diszrace‘ already, and its
point of weakness could easily have
been forsce'n, by any intelligent man. .
Upon the test1monyof the Governor of
the State it appears that the commis-
. sioner for the pu'ehase of liquor t1 be
Bald at the State ,dispensaries, or his
son for him, has been buying of deal-
ers who would pay him a rebate. How
much has . been paid in rebates is not
made public. Perhaps Governor Evans
himself does no“ know.
That anybody should have expected
that the liquor traffic of a State could
be carried on by the State without of-
ferin'g an almost irresistible temptation
to the State oflieialsin-eharge to farm
their position for their ,own profit 1
past belief. We do not believe that
Senator Tillman, 'who was chiefly re-
sponsible for the passage and first
enforcement of the law, overlooked
this probability, for be is shrewd enough
to see that any extensive liquor distill-
ing firm could afford to offer alarge
inducement to the purchasing agency
in consideration of securing the sale of
the whole amount to be used in the
State dispensaries. And he is too good
a, judge of human nature to expect
every man who should happen to secure
the purchasing agency 'to be strong
enough to resist this temptation.
So far as the authors of the law were
concerned, it is probable that this was
iorseen, but that the law was intended
to serve a political purpose for the time
being, and that they were net I partied
larly concerned about the opportunities
it would eventually 1111‘ ml for oflisial
corruption._ Governor Evans exoner-
ates Senator Tillman from any com-
plicity in the corruption, but his ex
ppsure of the the rebate purchases will
only convince every thoughful man
, that shrewd, wide-awake men of affairs,
with 'a. fair knowledge of human nature,
should have expected nothing else from
' the adoption of this method of control-
ing the sales of liq nor.
In some form or another this fatal,
"weakness is certain to manifest itself
sooner or later whenever the State or
general government undertakes to
carry on any branch of the business or
industries of the country. It'does not
make any difference whether the busi-
ness is the sale of liquor, the manage-
ment cf'the railways, canals and tele-
graph lmes or the running of the manu-
facturing industries of the country. All
the experience of the past shows this
to be true, and he has studied State
' control of any form of industrial activi-
ty to little purpose ‘wh01 expects any
other result. The less a government
has to do with the management or con-
trol of any business or industry that
can be carried on by private individuals
or corporations, the better for the
government as well as for the cause of
public morality.

THE EVENING
GOOD OUTLOOK—Continued
fixtures used by the two railroad com-
nanies much better than the granite
blocks.
There can be no question, but that
the work, both as to the widening and
the paving can be done very much
cheaper at this time than ever haters,
and it would also furnish employment
to many, who are now out of employ-
men nt. '
There is another matter that to me
seems of greatest importance, and for
which I ask your consideration, and
that is the necessity, of a thorough re-
vising, of our City Charter.
We have been in existence as a city
about three years and a practical ex-‘
perience has demonstrated to us, that
there are very many
that can be made' in our charter, and if
this is to be done, it is not too early to
refer the matter to a competent com-
mittee that they may prepare such a
, revision and be ready for the next ses-
sion of the Legislature.
To this matter I hope you will give
your serious consideration, and take
such action as to you seems beet.
Thanking you for. the consideration
given former suggestions, I hope that.
my ideas herein contained will meet
with your appprbval.
