The current number of Annals of the American Academy of Political and So cial Science contains an article on post al savings banks from the pen of Ed ward T. Heyn of New York city. It Is one of the most thorough expositions of the subject that has ever appeared in the literature of this country, giving as it does a condensed and satisfactory history of the experience of a dozen or more European countries with savings institutions inaugurated and directed > by government Mr. Heyn has been at i great pains in studying the systems of European and colonial governments and has made a close study of the reports is sued by the departments under whose charge the savings banks have been op erated. The evidence gathered from all sources without exception points to un alloyed benefits and the complete prac ticability of the system. The point of Mr. Heyn’s article is in the application he makes of the lesson he has learned by an exhaustive investigation of his subject. It is that the United States should as soon as possible establish post al savings banks, and he concludes his paper by calling attention to special reasons why this should be done. As a demand for the establishment of such a system is among the “anarchistic” pro posals of the People’s Party, the con cluding portion of Mr. Heyn’s article is here reproduced: “Ex-Postmaster General John Wana maker, a practical business man, is an enthusiastic advocate of postal savings banks. In three annual reports he urg ed their adoption and showed that there was a steadily growing sentiment in fa vor of the establishment of such insti tutions. He showed that there were 12,000,000 people in this country who worked for wages. The government, in the interest of better citizenship, should extend every encouragement to induce them to become savers. He demonstrat ed conclusively that private banks did not afford protection, that they general ly were not conveniently situated nor open at hours agreeable to depositors. He also showed that in most of the states the laws for the protection of de positors were entirely unsatisfactory, and that the banks were not carried on under such conditions as to retain the confidence of their depositors. Air. Wan- amaker proposed that the secretary of the treasury should keep an account of all deposits by states, and, to put the money into circulation, should offer the funds arising in each state as a loan to the national banks of that state at a rate of interest fixed by him, and that the same should be declared trust funds and be preferred claims against the bank. “Mr. Wanamaker also suggested that the money received from deposits could be used for building new postofflees. The government could use the money for the establishment of a postal tele graph and a postal package express and take these agencies out of the hands of corporations. “The widespread failure of banks in recent years renders the establishment of postal savings banks an imperative duty which the government owes to the masses. Thousands have lost their sav ings which they had amassed by hard work and self denial. Many of these banks were loosely and dishonestly man aged, and their affairs were adjusted with great loss to their depositors. “Hon. C. S. Fairchild, assistant sec retary of tho treasury under President Harrison, said that while attorney gen eral of New York he was compelled to wind up the affairs of 22 savings banks, with a loss to the depositors of $4,000,- 000. He became convinced that the pro fessed guardianship exercised by the state over these banks amounts to noth ing. The depositors were really without protection against the dishonesty of the bank officers. Three out of every eight of the savings banks of Maine suspend ed between the years of 1872 to 1879, and in the state of New York 22 banks failed with a capital of $4,475,661. One hundred and seventeen banks, brokers, savings banks aud trust companies fail ed during the year ending June 30, 1891, having liabilities of over $38,- 000,000 and assets of over $20,000,000. During the three years prior to Jan uary, 1891, the failure of state savings banks and private banks in 23 states uumbered 210, with losses amounting to over $32,000,000. The losses in the same year in Ohio and Illinois, through the failure of state, saviugs and private banks, aggregated over $8,000,000; the number of banks in existence in the last year was 12,666; the number of failures was 79 and the percentage of- failures 0.62, with assets amounting to $6,125,- 189 and liabilities to $11,024,628. “Hon. James N. Eckels, comptroller of the currency, in his annual report for 1894 says: “ ‘No one can deny that banking has overreached itself in many communi ties. Profits are sought by several insti tutions when one strong bank only could be able to make them. ’ “In advocating a system of postal savings banks it is in no antagonism to private banks existing at the present time. The private institutions will be needed as heretofore. In England the number of private savings banks did not decrease when the postal savings system was adopted. The government pays only 2‘8 per cent interest, while the banks pay 3 aud 4 per cent. The Hungarian postoffice reported in 1892: “ ‘The private savings banks can nev er see a competitor in the postal savings banks, because their organization is di fferent and because they serve a differ ent class of people. The postal savings bunks have not exercised any injurious influence on the development of private saviugs banks, which is shown by the circumstance that since the establish- A The Three Committees. Dropping a Ball Through the Earth. “G. H. ” of East St. Louis asks the following curiouH question, “If it were possible to bore a hole a foot or more in diameter entirely through the earth, and to then start a 100 pound ball to falling through this 8,000 miles of hole, at what point would it stop?” In an swer to this we will say that weight, in the sense to which our correspondent alludes, is the measure of attraction of gravitation, or, in other words, it is the measure of force with which a body is attracted to the earth. This attractive force decreases both ways from the earth’s surface. Therefore if a ball should be started on the tour outlined in your query its weight would decrease to a certain extent with every yard of its flight (or fall), until finally, upon reaching the oenter of the earth it would have no weight whatever. This curious state of affairs would be brought about by the gradual lessening by the force of attraction, or gravitation, until the center of the globe would have been reached, at which point the ball would be held in suspension, as though fixed by numerous magnetic points. In other words, at the center of the earth the phenomenon of weight is entirely want ing.—St. Louis Republic. E dwin W.

I am not aware that this idea is held outside this coun try, aud if it is confined to England many various causes may have led to the belief, which possibly arose in com paratively modern times—no earlier than the crusades. Nothing is more probable than that several crusaders brought home the gor geous feathers as curiosities, a strange sight, aud so likely to make a deep im pression. Nothing is easier to conceive than that some misfortuue, death from disease, loss of wealth or other “bad luck” may havo happened to more than one possessor of the beautiful feathers, aud that they would on that account soon Le credited with beiug the cause.

I desire to commend the work of the three national committees which have joined in the management of this cam paign. Co-operation between the mem bers of distinct political organizations is always difficult, but it has been less I I so this year than usual. Interest in a common cause of great importance has reduced friction to a minimum. I hereby express my personal grati tude to the individual members as well as the executive officers of the national committee of the Democratic, Populist »nd Silver parties for their efficient, untiring and unselfish labors. They have laid the foundation for future suc cess and will be remembered as pio neers when victory is at last secured. No personal or political friend need grieve because of my defeat. My ambi tion has been to secure immediate legis lation rather than to enjoy the honors of office, and, therefore, defeat brings to me no feeling of personal loss.—W. J. Bryan.

For instance, they show that over one-third of the women who kill themselves are not yet 25 years of age. They show that women take poison, where men shoot themselves, and they show that the poor, sick and the infirm are not by any kind of reckoning in the majority. A physician who makes a study of at tempted suicide said this: “Get a girl past 25, and she’ll go hrough poverty, sickness and desertion «nd misery enough to kill ten men. The more people suffer the more they cling to life. I’ve seen It in hospitals. It is not the patients with the incurable diseases or the hopeless cripples who beg to die, but the young, strong, vital woman, who hates pain and doesn’t want to suffer it, even for the chance of getting well. It is a strange thing, this getting of a girl past 25, but not uncommon. Any physician with a large family practice will tell you of a dozen cases in his own circle of knowledge. Sometimes it is called pyromania, some times kleptomania, sometimes catalep sy, sometimes hysteria, sometimes feign ing and sometimes tantrums—it’s all the same thing—nothing elso to do. ” Another physician told of a girl who committed suicide and who left a note stating that her reason was that she w’as tired of doing the same things over and over every day. The monotony of life had become unbearable to her.— Philadelphia Times. It is reported from Washington that the three parties which supported Bry an in the recent election will all follow the course deoided upon by the Repub licans and maintain permanent head quarters at the national capital.

V aricocele ax ? stricture ment of postal savings banks the depos itors in the private banks have not de creased, but increased very materially.’ “The many failures of late years, however, prove the necessity for the government to interpose its restraint and c xercise its powers for the protec tion of the people against fraud and mismanagement of private funds. Sav ings banks, when originally started, were for protection only, and it was not intended that money should be loaned out at a higher rate of interest, but it H as to be invested in government bonds f.hich could be converted into cash on short notice. The banks, however, loan ed out money indiscriminately, taking uncertain security. Depositors who were entitled to get their money on demand were compelled to give 60 days’ notice before they could obtain the same. Over One-half of the entire deposits in many of these banks were invested in mort gages, in real estate with a fictitious value, in loans of very doubtful securi ty and in stocks aud bonds of railroads and other corporations which had been copiously watered. Postal banks would not encroach on national banks, because they are totally different in scope and oharaoter. National banks were estab lished to lend money on personal secu rity, to deal in exchange, receive depos its and issue notes. They have no right to do busineq? on borrowed capital, be cause they are then operating on a fic titious credit “Postal savings banks wonld be a great convenience in many towns and small villages where private banks do not exist. In France, where there are no postoffices, letter carriers serve as intermediaries for making deposits. It was ascertained by the visits of county seat postmasters that in the New Eng land states the average distance from the postoffice to the nearest savings bank was 10 miles; in the middle states, 25 miles; in the southern states, 88 miles, and in the Pacific slopestates, 52 miles. “Provisions for deposits and with drawals in postoffices would be a great convenience for travelers when away from home. Private banks have their doors open for depositors only a com paratively few hours, closing at 8 or 4 o’clock, while the postoffices are always open until 6 o’cloox. “Some have objected to the establish ment of postal savings banks by the United States on the old cry of paternal ism and centralization. This is the an cient and often repeated slogan of the followers of the Manchester school, who believe in the noninterference of the state, regardless of the rights and wel fare of the masses. It is certainly more paternal to carry the mails than to pre serve the savings of the people. “Other advantages would follow if postal savings banks were established. At the time when the new system was first discussed in England Mr. E. Chad wick, a member of the constabulary and police commissioner of London, in a notable article published in The Jour nal of Social Science, showed that post al savings banks would be a preventive of crime. He cited a number of cases where murders had been committed on old people who had been known to hoard sums of money. “The following appeal of Ex-Post master General John Wanamaker is a true expression of the conclusion of the author: “ ‘With the undoubted evidence from every nation of the world save two, that, like the United States, have not established depositories, of the excellent results of this branch of postal service; with the agitation of this subject in thiB country for a quarter of a century; with the almost universal cry for it from the plain people, evidenced by let ters and petitions to the department and by the newspapers throughout the coun try, I urgently ask that some one in each branch of the coming congress will study the subject and endeavor to secure favorable action upon one of the many bills presented at every session to estab lish postal savings depositories for the people.’ ” “Confound tho boy,” he exclaimed ar he opened one of the letters the post man had brought aud spilled half his coffee. “What is the matter, dear? Look out! You will spoil the tablecloth,” remark ed the wife of his bosom. “Tablecloth be hanged. It’s that boy Tom.” “What has he been doing? I am surf he’s getting along finely. He writes me that he is on the eleven.” “That’s all very well, but here 1 have a bill'from his tailor, aud I only paid one last week. ’ ’ “But look at the nice set he is in.” “Yes, but why tho mischief doesn’t he economize? Doesn’t the young rascal know the value of money?” “But Tom is so young, dear. You ought to make allowances for him. ” “Allowances! For heaven’s sake! 1 havo been making allowances enough for him, and I’ll stop his allowance this month,” he cried as he left the break fast room to go to the office.—Chicago Times-Herald. No. 13 In Rome. An observing tourist who visits Rome and walks through the streets is doubt less surprised that there are very few houses bearing the ominous number 13, nearly all the houses that should bear those figures being marked 12b or 14a. Nor is the superstition re garding the fateful 13 absent from sci entific and phlegmatic Germany, for the other day a merchant in Berlin ap plied to the magistrate of the district to have the number of his shop changed from No. 13 to No. 12b. The magis trate, however, refused to grant the pe tition. In Frankfort, on the other hand, the owners of buildings bearing No. 13 are allowed to change the figures upon a simple application to the proper au thorities.—New York Tribune. Good For a Paragraph. It may turn out that the Spaniards aro already practically beaten in Cuba. It may bo that the exact reason why Weyler returned to Havana so suddenly was that his army had met its fate in the Rnbi bills of Pinar del Ria The Cuban side of the engagement in the Rubi hills, as told in the New York Sun, is that he was trapped into advancing over ground that had been honeycombed with dynamite mines. Maceo’s mon, behind rocks and trees, returned tho Spanish fire, bnt ap parently retired before it At the mo ment when Weyler’s force« were over the dynamite it was touched off, the story goes, and 1,200 of Weyler’s men were killed and 1,600 wounded. Wey ler’s dispatches would, of course, give no hint of such disaster, but if it really occurred the Spanish army will be de moralized. The bravest men in the world could not be forced forward over hidden dynamite mines. An example of American journalistic enterprise is seen in the fitting out by the New York Journal of a yacht to carry special news dispatches from Cuba to Key West, whence the dispatches can be telegraphed to New York. Havana, being under military government, the war censor reviews all dispatches sent out and suppresses those not in accord ance with the wishes of Weyler. The Journal expects to get and publish the news undoctored. The yacht employed for the work is the Vamoose, one of the swiftest, if not the swiftest, steam ves sel ever floated. She can do 26 miles an hour. The distance between Havana and Key West is only 87 miles. The Vamooso will cover tho distance in four hours. Being engaged in an altogether peaoeful vocation, tho carrying of news dispatches, there will be no occasion for Spanish warships to interfere with her. The little American princess, Mrs. Marlborough, honored Mr. Wales and his family greatly by inviting them to visit her in her castle Blenheim, which she bought a little more than a year ago, the former owner boing thrown in with tho castle.
