POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Postal savings banks are urgent
ly needed in the United States, and
it is admitted by those who are in
a position to know, they would
contribute materially to the con
tentment, the confidence, the
wealth and independence of the
people and encourage them to
thrifty and economical habits, and
also in this way they would be an
element of strength and stability
to the government. We claim all
this, and considerable more, for
postal savings banks.
Probably there is no other one
thing that congress could do at this
term to allay the universal distrust
and discontent among the pcoplo
than bv the establishment of
postal savings banks similar to
those in operation in nearly all the
other leading countries of the
elobe. The aggregate of annual
deposits in England is enormous.
There the system has been in
operation since 1861, where one in
seven of the population are depos
itors. The number of these de
positors is over 6,000,000, and the
amount deposited each year is
$150,000,000. It may interest some
of our readers to know what the
government does with this money.
The money received in deposits is
invested in government securities.
The difference between the income
of these securities and the interest
paid depositors has been more than
sufficient to pay the expenses of
the management. It is the work
ing classes of Great Britain who
avail themselves ot these advan
tages, and the popularity of the
system can be seen iu the enormous
aggregate deposits between 1880
and 1894, which exceeded $1,500,
000,000. More than a billion and
a half dollars. Apply the same
system to the United States, and
these figures would appear insig
nificant in the same length of time.
There are only 1,017 savings
U, r.ks in this country, while in
England there are more than 10,
000 postoffices that receive deposits
as agencies of the postal savings
system.
There is hardly a city or town of
considerable, size in the United
States that has not had experience
with bank runs and bank collapses
during the past three years. All
this would have been largely pre
vented if the postal savings system
had been in operation. The people
would have had their small savings
safely invested in government se
curities, instead of hidden away in
deposit vaults, or old trunk
and stockings, or buried in the
cellars. Exchange.
WHY NOT ON COFFINS?
Among the hungry people who
are begging congress to put a high
er tax on the American people for
their special benefit, are the manu
facturers of quinine. This drug
that is now absolutely essential to
the health and happiness of more
than one-half of the American peo
pie, is now on the free list, and it
can be bought at retail for about 50
cents an ounce. Before it was put
on the free list the people were
compelled to pay from $3 to $4 an
ounce for it. One of the begging
witnesses swore that in 1879 they
got $2.75 an ounce at wholesale
and now they were selling at 23
cents an ounce. What they want
is blood tax enough to enable them
to get their old rates out of the
sick people of this country, and
they are likely to get it under the
McKinley policy. Dispatch.
The Chicago Record, which sup
ported McKinley, is not in harmo
ny with the high tariff faction of
the republican party. Yec it should
have known that a republican vic
tory with the "advance agent of
prosperity" as its candidate, would
mean a McKinley tariff. But that
paper asks the senate ways and
means committee to be good enough
to reflect that it is the public and
not the monied interests for whom
ibijr r paid i &o tblit work.
Berlin and Vienna newspapers
any that the Russian government
proposes to banish Tolstoi within
the next few months. The minister
of the interior is said to have been
charged with the duty of collecting
evidence against the famous novel
ist, and to have already enough
material to condemn him from the
Russian point of view. The special
ways in which Tolstoi is supposed
to ''menace the state and array
class against class," are by advo
cating freedom of religious sects
ffom government restrictions, and
liberty of conscience, and by de
nouncing the paternalism or des
potism and militarism of the
Russian Bystem. The czar is Baid
to have been influenced most
strongly against Tolstoi by his
articlo on "Persecution of Chris
tians in Russia in 1895," which
was published in the London Times
nearly a year ago, and has been
circulated in the form of a German
pamphlet throughout central Eu-
rope and some parts of Russia. The
holy synod wus stirred to deep
wrath ov Tolstoi's biting criticisms
of its religious intolerance, and the
chief procurator at once presented
to the czar a strong case against
the author-reformer.
The Examiner has been pub
lishing expressions of opinion of
prominent Pacific coast men about
the defeat of the funding bill. The
following is that of Mayor Pen
noyer of Portland: The defeat of
the Funding bill is a most pro
nounced victory for the people of
California, with the Examiner in
their lead, over the most uncon
scionable monopoly on the Western
Hemisphere. Their fierce struggle
in this matter hiS been watched
with interest all over the Union,
and they deserve the most un-
stinted praise. If the Southern
Pacific con now be balked in Us
efforts to have the federal govern
ment expend two millions in
building a harbor for ils own
private benefit, the people of the
whole country will be placed under
renewed obligations to the people
of California. '
In a recent issue of the New
York Herald was a suggestive car
toon. It represented two portly,
big-bellied gentlemen on their way
to Washington city to assist Ding
ley in making a new tariff bill.
One was labeled "Trust" and the
other "Monopoly." They arrived
all right as is indicated by the re
ports of the tariff hearings. Ta-
coma News.
Here's some more "prosperity."
The Minnesota State Savings bank
failed this week; also the Germnn
National bank of Louisville.
The indications are - that tho
"advance agent of prosperity" is at
least four years in advance of the
prosperity.
There is more catarrh in thia section of
the country than all other disraaes put to
gether, and until the lost few yearn was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
yeare doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to core with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney fe Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. Ii acts directly on the blond

offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Bend for circulars and testi

The Legislative Deadlock.
At tills writing tlie lower house ol
the Oregon legislature is still In confu
sion. The llourne republicans are
slaying out praotloally In a boc'y. The
populists go la and coaie out according
to their own sweet will. The four
democrats seem to have frequent culls
on the outside. The ouly btayeks arc
the republicans who are iu fnvor of
the election of Mitchell as senator.
This is ait ocur a correct statement a
we can gather from the conflicting re
ports published In the various papers.
The house should have organized
the first day. We doubt the wisdom
of those who are staying out. The
populists and democrats should not
have followed the bad example of
those republicans who have refused to
be present, and should not lunger lend
their aid to this disgraceful condition
of affairs. The populists claim that
they are forced to adopt these tuclies
In order to force reform on the republi
can majority. This may be true, but
they should remember that reforms
promised by the Bourne wing of the
, republican party, under compulsion,
will likely be disregarded when the
i compulsion is removed. There is but
little, if any, difterenoe between the
two wings of the party one being as
corrupt as the other, one being for
Mitchell for senator, and the other for
Bourne for speaker. Between Mitchell
and Bourne the people can hardly see
any difference. Both have been in
consistent; neither can lie trusted by
the people. Mitchell has undoubtedly
sacrificed his principles for his parly,
while Bourne has treacherously tried,
while secretary of the republican stute
committee, to turn his party over to
its enemies. We may be excused for
devoutly wishing the destruction of
the republican parly, but no man cun
afford to respect the traitor who, like
Bourne, sought the destruction of his
party when he was one of Its trusted
officials.
We think It unwise for the demo.
crats and populists to aid either one of
these men iu their f-eltlsh schemes.
Let them take their seats and vote
their convictions. The record will put
the blame where It belongs. If Ibis
unsettled state of affairs continues, the
Hipuliats and democrats will have to
share thv bhttue with the republicans.
Organize and get to work, or resign

New York's Greatest Scene.
New York's famous thoroughfare,
Broadway, has been the scone of some
wonderful events. But the one scene
which still stands as the most remark
able, iu point cf enthusiasm, Is Louis
Kossuth's famous ride up Broadway,
iu 1831. Kossuth had already seen
and passed through a crowd of 600,000
people in bis triumphal ride up the
great thoroughfare. The culminating
moment, however, occurred when the
great Hungarian patriot reached t ic
comer of Broadway aud Ann street.
The sight that burst upon him stag
gered him for the moment. In the
open square directly before him was
massed together u quurler of u million
of people, aud when this vast con
course broke into a united cheer Kos
suth was fairly bewildered. No man
saw this grei.t event so well and ud-
vunliigeously as did I'urke Godwin,
the veteran New York editor and
Kossuth's closest friend iu America.
Mr. Godwin was with Kossuth, and
for the first time he will now tell the
story of the marvelous event In the
February Ladies' Home Journal. The
actual scene at Aon Htreet will also he
shown In a picture by De Tlinlstrup,
showing Kossuth Iu his carriage us the
ureal scene burst upon him.

STANLEY'S BENEFACTOR.
History of tho Great Explorer's
Fostor-Fathar,
starting In Now Orleans at an Early Age
He lleoaine Widely Known and
Jteapaetori Deaertod by HI
Adopted Children.
Many New Orleans citizens remember
Henry Hope Burnley, who adopted
Stanley, tho explorer, and gtive him
his flrat upward atari in life. Very few,
however, have any recollection of Stan
ley, the famous traveler in Africa.
Henry Hope Stanley, says tho Now Or
lenns Post-Dispatch, was born in Eng
land in 1815. He came of good family
and was hihly educated.. Ho had
a brother who was killed by s. full from
a carriage during the war. After his
father's death, which occurred early in
Stanley's life, his mother married an
Episcopal minister. She is 6aid to be
still living and her son by the second
marriage inherited Htimloy'a fortune.
The young Englishman was of inde
pendent mind, and determined to carve
his own way to success. Accordingly
he came to Amcrioa about 1887, first
landing in Charleston. S. C. There the
young man heard of the great west and
made his way to Texas. Ho found a
wife in tho Lone Star state, but little
in the way of fortune, and the couple
determined to remove to the southern
metropolis.
Although Stanley was twice married,
neither wife bore him children. Their
kind hearts hungered for the touch of
buby lingers, aud at various times the
household adopted little orphans and
bestowed as much love and care upon
them as if of their own blood. Strange
to say, none of these fatherless ones re
mained tccomfort the closing years of
their benefactor's life.
Joanna, the first adopted child, died
after hor marriage to a local druggist
who has also passed away. Henry
"Stanley Africanus" went into the
world uguinst his foster-father's will
aud was never forgiven, while Annie,
who shared the homo with the explorer,
is said to have eloped with the coach
man. About this time Stanley made the ac
quaintance of nu individual known as
"Cedar" Smith on account of his busi
ness, whieh consisted in exporting
Louisiana cedar. About 1S4.1 they took
I trip up lied river on a cedar purchas
ing expedition, intending to ship a
large cargo to Knglund. They were
gone some time. Facilities for mail
communication were neither vapid nor
plentiful in those days. Stanley heard
little of affairs at home. He returned
to New Orleans to find his wife had
taken sick and died during his ubsenco
from home. Soon afterward he mar
ried .Miss Miller, an F.nglishwoman.
He then changed his business, becom
ing cotton weirrhcr for the firm of
Payne, Dameron & Co., the predeces
sors of Payne, Kennedy & Co.; later he
obtained employment with Wright,
Williams & Co., in the same capacity.
He made a good deal of money in the
days when there were fortunes in the
cotton-press business. When the war
broke out he took no part in the con
diet, but with his wife went over to
England to revisit the scenes of his
youth. He left his dwelling, facing
Annunciation square, in charge of airs.
Stanley's sister, Jlrs. Walter Nicholl,
who occupied it with her husband dur
ing the absence of the Stanleys. When
(ien. Ilenjamin llutler made his head
quarters in New Orleans he ordered the
seizure of the house and the Commer
cial press, putting his soldiers in the
latter. t
Mr. Stanley's friends took advautage
of his British birth and foreign resi
dence to appeal to the English consul.
Tho latter promptly sent word to But
ler to release the property within twenty-four
hours. T he orders were obeyed
and the soldiers marched out and
camped in Terrell's press across the
street. Ab soon as the war ended
Stanley ond his wife returned. Stan
ley resumed the cotton-press business,
butwas uotas successful as in the ante
bellum days. In 1870 ho Bold the Com
mercial press to Lehnan & Abraham
and bought the Liverpool press, which
he conducted until his death, although
he left the management principally to
James Knndolph and Oeorge Johnson.
In W, he went up to a plantation to
look after the crops, in which he waa
interested, suddenly became ill and in
twenty-four hours wodead. His sec
ond wife 'preceded him to the land of
rest. Mr. Stanley was a member of
Mount Moriah lodge, a prominent ma
sonic body, and was buried in its tomb
at Metairie ridge,
Interesting If True.
It is often a matter of curiosity with
the observer of feminine ways to know
why women should wear so many orna
ments while on the street, sayit the New
York Ilecorder. To sec a delicate little
woman, whose waist is surrounded by
an enormous belt, from which depend a
number of small bottles of glass and
silver, watch charms, bangles and heav
en knows what besides, is enough to
create wonder in the mind of 11k unini
tiated. The habit Is looked upon as a
fad. Probably it is, but an English
writer says it is something more. This
learned Britisher asserts that the Amer
ican girl curries in (he little bottles
which dangle from her belt a lot of qui
nine pills. When she grows weary from
the exertions of a shopping tour she
takes two pills; if chilly, one pill; when
hungry, which is otten the case, down
go two pills; if she gets her feet wet
she swallows an antidote in the shape
of ten pills. This is one of those things
which may be described us interesting
if true.

An illuminated cat Is among the
curiosities of the patent office at Wash

and is intended to frighten away "rata
