The Oregon Disaster.
The officer in charge of the Oregon at the
time of the collision with an unknown
schooner says tbat though the night was
tarllt, he did net see the vessel until it
was tee late te change the course of the
Oregon, though the order was promptly
given by him te de se. He says that the
' light shown from the ether vessel was a
white light, and apparently that from a
lantern held aloft by some one en beard as
a danger signal te the great steamship
bearing down upon the little one. The
Oregon's officer thought it wa3 a pilot
beat, and as he knew the captain
did net desire te take en a pilot
until he get te the bar, the order he
gave was intended te sheer the Oregon off.
Ne cries were heard from tlie ether vessel,
which is supposed te have sunk at
once, after drilting away upon deliv
' ering the sideling blew upon the Oregon
which tore se big a hele in her that she
sank despite hW water-tight compartments,
which her captain says were all closed.
As the ether beat was sunk with all en
beard, this is about the substance of the
information we are likely te have of the
accident; though some of the passengers
of the Oregon are said te declare that they
saw a red light en the schooner.
There will certainly be great difficulty in
the public mind in accepting the state
ment of the officers of the Oregon that
with two officers en the bridge and several
men en the lookout, en a night free from
mist and with the stars shining, they did
net ebserve the schooner until it was se
close te them that tb,e course of the Oregon
could net be changed at all. It is most
improbable that the schooner was without
the, usual colored lights, in the position
in which she was right in the opening te.
the pert of Jew xerk and in the track of
many ocean steamers. It was a position of
danger, in which her signal lights would
surely have been burning. Her master was
evidently conscious that the steamship
threatened him and was turning the vessel
way from her. Masters of little schoon
ers de net willingly get in the way of great
steamships traveling at the rate of eigh
teen miles an hour.
The only rational belief in this matter
must be that the schooner was seen by the
lookout en the Oregon in time te have
avoided her, and that the commander had
some reason for net avoiding her. It may
be that the explanation is found in the
fact that he thought she was a pilot beat.
It will be remembered that a short while age
a pilot beat was run down by a steamer she
was seeking te beard about thissame local
ity. Then thasteamer struck the beat astern
in and just rode ever her. The inference is
tbat ocean steamship commanders have
little regird for pilot beats, and feel little
inclination te avoid destroying them,
when they persist in pressing upon
them their unwelcome service. With
their great sire and strength they
knew that they are in no danger from
themselves from pilot beat collision, and
they incline te let the little fellows take
care of themselves and if they get hurt
consider that it is their own fault for their
presumption and foolhardiness. The
pilot carries bis life in his hands when he
seeks the vessels that the law requires te
take bun en beard and pa) him well for
services that they de net want.
This theory will explain the indifference
of the Oregon te the approach of the beat
that sent her down. Instead of leing a
light pilot beat It was a heavily ladened
merchant schooner, with weight enough te
t;ar out the side of the Oregon v, hen the
latter struck her, as though she had struck
a.reck.
And the hesitation tobelievo all that the
Oregon's commander says, will net be les
sened by his declaration that the doers in
the water tight compartments were all
closed. If se tli vessel would net have
been sunk by a breach made in net mere
two of the nine; unless we are te believe
that the dividing of a ship's hull into
water-tight cerapartmeuts is wholly inef
fective te save her from sinking; which
sour previous experience does net teach
ua. Ner will the Oregon's commander
gain credence te his story by his further
declaration that the ship's beats were suffi
cient te have saved all en beard though
there had been no vessels near te take off
$ their leads. The facts clearly seem te be
quite otherwise.
Postal Savings Bank.
Mr. Leuis E, McCema.3, a flight young
congressman from Maryland, albeit a Re-
publican, has written an article for the
newspapers in exposition of the plan of
postefflce savings banks. The money order
r aad postal note systeras.fer the ready trans-
f of money by mail, have been success-
i fully introduced and operated by the postal
t branch of our federal government. In
y-,t .postal facilities we have much te borrow
,;,aad much te learn Trem ether nations.
; 'England 'and Switzerland especially, can
f. taaeh us valuable lessens. Foreign govern
'mats have engrafted postal savings banks
apea their mall service with success. Eng
land adopted them in 1601, and last year in
,,1,1 te depositories there were 0,453,707 de
gpsjlis, and the total amount due depositors
wm about 233,000,000. The colonies have
fallowed; and Belgium, Italy, the Jftthw
lands, France, Austria, Hungary, Sweden,
and Norway haw established tlie.system;
Germany, Tlavla and Austria are about te
adept it.
Wnlle ourpeepleare rlghlly ausplcteus of
anything tbat smacks of paternalism and
of the extension of government interference
In privates affairs, the high authorities
WUicb have commended this system cntitle
it te respectful and comprehensive popular
consideration. It is haidly expected te
take the place of banks, for it will reach
manifold points vvliere there are no banks.
Tluvblll new pending in Congress provides
that money order postefflces only can be
authorized te receive deposits ; no single
deposit can be less than 10 cents, nor mere
than 1100; no mere than $100 can be
deposited by ene person in 30da)s; no
person's deposits cau exceed $500. Fer
economy, security and the encouragement
of savings the most elaborate prevision is
te be made. The subject is a geed deal
mere worthy of attention than most of
these that engage congressional Interest.
Going te Tlcces.
There is nothing surprising in the disclo
sure that the Republican majority in the
Senate is about te go te pieces ever the
issue raised by Mr. Edmunds. It is alto
gether certain that n number of his party
colleagues never had any heart or faith in
his position. It v. as at first defeated In the
caucus and then adopted by a slender ma
jerity, with a goodly number of absentees.
Already provocation is given fortheso who
chafed under the caucus dictation te re
sent and resist it. With the resolu
tions of the caucus and the speech of
Edmunds ringing in their ears, the sen
ators, under Legan's whip and lash, have
gene straight en nnd confirmed Dement,
for surveyor of Utah, ene of the most ob
jectionable presidential appointees, because
he had once done Legan a favor. Very
naturally Senater Teller, whom Dement
had grossly offended, is indignant at this
and announces his revolt from caucus, a
position in which he is said te have the
sj mpathy of an yck, rlumb, Mitchell,
of Oregon, and iessibly Cameren aud
Mitchell, of Pennsjlvania, and ethers.
Edmunds' position cannot be sustained,
because it is illogical, inconsistent and ab
surd. II is contention te see the president's
private papers, while these who agree with
him unite in admitting that the Senate has
no right te sit in judgment upon the presi
dent's suspension of officials, is a waste of
time as well as a strain upon public pa
tience. The Senate has new been engaged
for weeks in considering, resolving and de
bating upon the suspension of a man whose
term has long expired. Of what avail this
wasta of t itne and empty speech ? The offices
are being administered by men, w ho.theugh
appointed for six months or mere, are net
yet confirmed. Their predecessors can
never be restored. If they themselves are
Tejec ted their functions will devolve upon
assistants, chiefly of their own appoint
ment. The president will in all probability
again designate them for the same places.
He will certainly net cheese persons mere
acceptable te the obstructionists.
The better class of Republican senators
see tills. They knew that Mr. Edmunds
has been well described as one who
can see a ily en the bam deer
and le!e sight of the barn deer it
self. He is a hair-splitter, a law
yer delighting in technicalities and
losing sight of the bread equities of the
case and Us patriotic and public aspects.
He is in this light for the love of the op
portunity te exercise his peculiar talents
and te werr- his political antagonists.
Sherman, Legan and a few etheis who aie
playing for political position back him up
because they think it keeps the Democracy
distracted and worries thepresident. They
all seem te be oblivious of the fact that the
patience of the country is being strained
by their trifling ; the practical, business
sense of some of their colleagues discerns
this and befeie many days we may leek for
a bna'c-upef the senatorial ice.

According te the reriert et the secretary
of the interior, there are in all men, women
and children 200,000 Indians. They occupy
134,000,000 acres or land. Ceuntins rive te a
family, thore are fj2,000 heads of iamtlies, or
ever 'J.&00 acres te each Indian family. These
children of the ferest have invested mid un
insisted funds amounting te $17,000,000, and
tliey own another million of acres of land, en
the market, but net yet sold or pild for, and
there must still be reckoned, their houses,
cattle and crops. Congress annually appro
priates for them for support and education
Irem ?5,000,000 te $7,000,000, And yet with
all this mouey oxpended, it is admitted that
the present Indian system deeH net civillre,
or educate or Christianize the Indians. Why
is this thus?
The prominent fact about the Oregon dis
aster is that after the collision the vessel was
enabled te keep afloat for 8 hours, thus giving
her mere than COO passengers ample time
te leave the deemed Cunarder. Thus the air
compartments with which modern steamers
are equipped hae demonstrated their utility.
Had the essel sunk rapidly, the less of life
must have been tremendous. It is no light
matter when a steamer such as the Oregon
gees down. She was valued at $1,260,000,
and she carried 1,600 tens of miscellaneous
freight Amid the general rejoicing eer
the safety or all en beard tlie steamer, It has
recehed but little notlce that nothing has
been heard of the schooner which struck her,
which is btlleied te bae gene down with all
en beard.

The following was the introduction ten
concert pregramme tu New Yerk, en Sunday
evening, which attracted a large audience,
many et w hu.u came no doubt te ceft :
"I'lrst Sunday recital in New Yerk of the
Texas cowboy pianl't, A. O. Babel, pro

is dazzllugly brilliant; he plays wltn cloth

instructions. Nothing like him has ever
been heard."
The pregramme assertion that Mr. llabel
had never recehed nny instruction had pre
pared the critical audience ler something ex ex ex
tromely funny. But these who came te
sneer remaiu'Hl te praise. Their critical
taste was everw helmed by their admiration
at the wondereus and dexterous manipula
tion of the keys by n breezy and muscular
Westerner, w he had never endured or in
flicted the "melodies" of scales or flve
tlueer exercise. More than one-half the au
dience was comjiesed of ladies. It was very
curious te them te see a man like JeetTy
usurp their domain, but n cowboy "a
roelvored, bewie-knled, ombrereed,

above their comprehension, and hence their

stage was ihe ene we hae all become fa

It could be seen that this selection was
made te suit his peculiar talent. The hod hed

quick changes of right and left hands were

appeared te be the result of twenty years'
lucestaut practice favored by unusual
strength, whereas he subsequently told the
reporter he had begun only six or seven

he was jieasessea et taste und feeling. Every
thing presented was te exhibit his remarkable
digital dexterity. He received an encere for
his admirable rendering of a medley et
national airs and ler one of LUzt's w altzes.
Fer a second number he introduced the
"Last Kose of Summer," which was the
means of establishing him in the favor of the
audience, "The way he stacked up against

My condemnation Is net what an education
contains, ler I believe It would ben very excel
lent thing ter u young man or woman te knew
Greek, or Latin, or Hebrew-. I (.ay j es, If It could
be kH en them as one would a bonnet, or an aero
of land, or a yoke of oxen. I believe lu a busi

class. 1 wish every young man In the country
had a geed business education, or such an edu
catien us should fit him te fill acceptably aud
usefully the podltlen of a geed merchant's clerk.
