At last accounts, the deposits in *he
savings banks of the L T »ited Stales

numbers, to $2,200,-
lnB " 000, COO—an impres
sive total, which represents an aver
age of nearly $l5O for every man, wom
an and child in the country. An
analysis of the figures discloses a
singular concentration of savings
banks. More than four-fifths of the
deposits, or, to be more nearly exact,
a little more tliau 87 per cent., are in
the 11 New England and middle
states, leaving less than 13 per cent,
distributed among the other 3-i estates.
There can be 110 question that savings
banks encourage thrift, says Youth's
Companion. People are a great deal
more likely to lay something by for a
rainy day if they feel a reasonable as
surance of finding it when they need
it. with a pleasing addition of inter
est. These figures show that large
sections of the country are entirely
■without savings banks. It is the con
sideration of this fact which gives
weight to the argument for the estab
lishment of a postal savings-bank
system. There is much to be said in
favor of that system; yet when we
examine the practical working of the
British post office savings bank,
which has been suggested as a model
for this country, the result does not
encourage imitation. For the last
four years the bank has shown a year
ly and increasing loss, and the Lon
don Times declares it insolvent. In
view of this fact, congress may well
hesitate to establish postal savings
banks. Without waiting for action in
that direction, communities which
lack institutions for savings may
-wisely devise means to found tlietn,
and to foster and safeguard them by
state legislation.
The annual report of the federal life
saving service- is one that is read by

department publi
cations. and yet it deserves to be widely
read as a record of heroism and service
10 humanity performed by the life
guardsmen who patrol our ocean and
lake coasts to save life and property,
justly observes the Chicago Tribune.
During the last fiscal year 700 ship
wrecked persons have received help
at the stations. The value of property
imperiled was $9,737,260, and of prop
erty lost $2.245,8€<h Out of 3,436 per
sons whose lives were in danger only
53 were lost. 'To accomplish these re
sults has cost the government $1,535,-
936, an insignificant sum when the
number of lives and immense amount
of property exposed to loss are taken
into consideration. The men who per
form these services are heroes, and yet
the general superintendent says that
certain of them "are among the poorest
paid servants of the government"—an
injustice which congress should re
move. If any men deserve o be well
paid it is our coast life guardsmen.
Borrowing a convict from state prison
to open a safe seems rather a startling
tiling to do. A dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune from Columbus, <).. tells of
such an occurrence: "In order to se
cure valuable papers belonging to her
dead husband,' Col. P. J. Piekard, a civil
engineer, who died a few days ago, an
expert safe-blower, now a convict in
the state penitentiary, was loaned to
Mrs. I'ickard by the warden to open the
strong box in which the papers were
kept. The prisoner was conveyed iu a
closed carriage to the safe, which he
blew open, and was then returned tc
his cell. All Col. Pickard's private pa
pers were locked up in the safe, and
the plan of securing the services of a
burglar was adopted. It took the con
vict 12 minutes to open the safe."
R. Moore ran for justice of the peace
in Bourbon county, Kan., at the recent
election, and was defeated. He pub
lishes an affidavit regarding his elec
tion expenses and gets in a fling at
his successful rival in this fashion:
"Uniontown, Kan., Xov. 28, 1!)(J0: Not
having any blanks, and being a law
abiding citizen and a defeated can
didate for justice of the peace in Ma
rion township, I hereby certify under
oath that I did not expend one cent

Ituriil *■"«•«•«• Delivery of Vnllw n llenefl
c«nt Kesult of MeKlnley'ii
Ail m 1 ii I*l rn I ion.
The riirsil free delivery lias been
such a success that it has
no open opponents. Thia has not al
ways been the case. When the ex
periment was proposed by the Har
rison administration it was quite gen
erally condemned and congress made
a meager appropriation for a very
limited trial of the scheme. It was
denounced 011 the ground that, it
would involve an expense far beyond
the advantage promised. When the
Cleveland administration succeeded
that of Gen. Harrison a halt was
called and the postmaster general
demonstrated that rural free deliv
ery of mails was impracticable be
cause of the great cost. The scheme
of the Harrison administration slum
bered four years. The McKinley ad
ministration took up free delivery in
earnest-, and under the energetic di
rection of ex-Assistant Postmaster
General Ilcath the experiment was
pushed with vigor and intelligence.
Rural free delivery is more tlifin
the word success would imply, since
it is the adoption of a new policy that
is certain to change the relation of
city and country to an extent that
may be called revolutionary. To the
middle of November 2.(>14 routes had
been established in -14 states, serving
a population of nearly 2.0(10.(101) peo
ple. By July 1 next 4,300 routes will
have been established, carrying the
mail daily to 3,500,000 people. De
ducting the expense of the old system
as far it has been discontinued, and
making allowance for the increase of
revenues under the new system, the
cost of free rural delivery is about
60 cents per capita. At the present
time 31,000,000 residents of cities and
towns have free delivery. In the ham
lets and 011 the farms within the lim
its of a reasonably free delivery sys
tem are 21,000,000 farmers and villag
ers to whom a daily mail service can
be extended at a cost of $13,782,224.
If congress could be induced to cut
off the flagrant abuses of the regula
tion of second class matter, enough
would be saved to the postal revenues
to pay the entire expense of rural de
livery and something to spare.
The scheme for a rural free delivery
is a republican device. It was urged
by Mr. Wanamaker when he was
postmaster general, and was started
to be quickly abandoned. It was
taken up by the present administra
tion, never having had the support
of democrats in congress until it was
an assured success. Rural free de
livery is one of the great services
which the republican party has ren
dered the country. It is of vast eon
sequence to the large farm areas that
its full benefits will not be realized
for years. The agents of parties are
criticised oftener than applauded—
criticised for insignificant and seem
ing defects. Would it not be fair,
once in awhile, to recall a great serv
ice like the free rural delivery and
place it to the credit of the party
which has rendered it?—lndianapolis

BRYAN'S MAGIC TOUCH.
The Discredited Pr«»|»lie» of Disaster

Hold.
So William Jennings Bryan intends
to start a newspaper of his own. He is
to do this in order, as he announces, to
keep "in touch with social, economic
and political problems." It is to be a
weekly newspaper, sans news, issued to
touch the aforementioned problems in
order "lo provide an income sufficient
for my (his) pecuniary needs."
We sincerely trust that Mr. Bryan's
anticipations of a success that will al
low him "more time with his family
than he has been able to enjoy for sev
eral years" will be realized. If all who
voted for the nominee of the Kansas
City convention will only send a sub
scription of one dollar to the Common
er, Lincoln. Neb., it will establish Wil
liam Jennings Bryan in the bosom of
his family beyond the necessity of run
ning for the presidency every four
years.
Talk of the Midas touch! The man
who. by keeping "in touch with social,
economic and political problems" in
the columns of a weekly newspaper, can
hope to allure one dollar a head from
0.502.025 American citizens annually
has a snap beyond Col. Sellers' dream
of selling eye water to 500,000.000 sore
eyed Chinese!
Great is Bryan, there's millions in his
touch. —Chicago Times-He raid.
IT7"Mr. Bryan's finish is in sight. ITt
formally announces that he will estab
lish a weekly newspaper in Lincoln,
to be devoted to the principles of the
Kansas City plaiform. If lie ever had
any chance of election to the presi
dency it will be gone before he i.as
been editing three months. lint what
fun Editor .1. Sterling Morton will have
with his Lincoln contemporary, and
what a relief to the rest of 11s when Mr.
Bryan gets a newspaper of his own to
advertise himself. "Mine enemy" who
writes a book runs great risks, but
when he starts a paper he is simply in
viting grief in varied and bitter form.

PROSPERITY INFLATES.
In"re«»e of Money In (.'lrt'nliitlon
Through n n HnneNt
folic)'.
In the report of the director of the
mint appears convincing evidence of
the utter absence of any necessity for
an artificial inflation of our national
currency. For the.fiscal year we pro
d'iced $71,000,000 in gold, over $6,000,-
000,000 in excess of the output during
the banner year of our history. The
wtrld produced $306,000,000, a gain of
$19,000,000, and this despite the prac
tical closing of the Transvaal mines nc
cause of war.
Statistics upon this subject, as affect
ing the United States, throw additional
light upon a feature of the recent re
port of the secretary of the treasury.
Within the comparatively short period
of four years t here has been an increase
of 33 per cent., or $500,000,000, in the
circulating medium of this country,
fully meeting the demands because of
extraordinary emergencies and of the
increased volume of money moving in
response to enlarged and more active
industries.
Nearly two-thirds of this expansion
has been in gold coin and certificates;
one-fifth in silver dollars, certificates
and subsidiary silver coin, and the re
mainder in government and national
bank notes. This keeping pace upon t,
solid footing with the most wonderful
development of general prosperity iu
the history of the country should cer
tainly silence those who would have
made us the silver dumping ground of
the world, on the plea that we could not
have enough money with which to car
ry on business unless this suicidal policy
were resorted to.
The increase that has been made in a
currency that is good the world over,
is greater by 50 per cent, than all the
mints in the country could have 1 timed
out in silver hed they worked at their
fullest capacity, 24 hours a day. Our
home crop of gold is annually increas
ing, and the "gold of the old world is
flowing to our markets. A great nation
is permitted to vindicate the adage of
honesty as a policy.—-Detroit Free

Mr. Bryan lias recovered his breath
and. being sure of his wind, enters t he
lists for the third battle. In a pub
lished communication Mr. Uryan an
nounces the democratic platform for
1004. His announcement of that plat
form is in itself an announcement of
his candidacy for the nomination in
1!)U4. The self-declared candidacy is
made more emphatic because he insists
that the platform for 1004 shall be the
same which he forced upon the Kansas
City convention this year, and which he
says he had a right to force upon the
convention because in all but two states
the delegates had been instructed for
his renomination. At the beginning of
the democratic platform for 1904 Bry
an places the distinctively Bryanistic
doctrine of free silver, lie does that
because he knows that he rises or.falls
with free silver.
Bryan reads out of ihe partv for
1004. as for 1900 and 1806, the gold dem
ocrats. In his eyes defeat for the dem
ocratic party is less to be deplored than
obscurity for Bryan. Perpetual candi
dacy brings Bryan a better income
than ever did the practice of law .
But will the democratic party be
asinine enough to accept again the
leadership of Bryan? Bryan thinks it
will be, and he can claim the law of
probability as a witness that if that
party has done an idiotic thing twice
it is likely to do it the third time.—Troy
Times.

New York, Dee. 2"). —The Tammany
committee of five at a meeting held
Monday issued a statement that Chief
of Police Devery could rid the city of
vice in two hours if he so chose.
They further say that they will pre
sent facts to the grand jury in the
event of no immediate action being
taken by the police.
Chairman Nixon presided at the
meeting. Several members of the
police department appeared before
the committee and said that the
places mentioned in the list given to
Chief Devery by Chairman Nixon
were closed. The majority of the
places were gambling dens and disor
derly houses.
After an executive session of two
hours, Chairman Nixon gave out the
following statement:
"The list of suspicious places
handed to the police is by no means
complete and we shall be guided bv
developments as to when and how
they shall be made public. My object
is to close such places, and by clos
ing them demonstrate to their own
ers that those who have taken money
from them for protection, lack the
power to protect. No matter what
party is in office, about the same sort
of men will be found farming out im
munity.
"Every department of the city gov
ernment except the police depart
ment is doing good work. I am satis
fied by what I have found that the
chief of police could close every gam
bling house and pool room in the city
in a few hours. Our motive now is to
show that these places are not pro
tected by the Tammany organization
and, further than that, to show that
a system which has existed during
this and the. preceding administra
tion, can be stopped if the police de
partment can be induced to act. A
single-headed commission with power
can remedy existing abuses, not only
for a time, but permanently. A bi
partisan police commission and the
excise department are the sores on
the body politic and they should be
reformed jointly, and they will be
when the people come to a full
knowledge of the iniquities which
owe their existence to them."
A DUEL AT A DANCE.

New York, Dec. 25.—An Italian
dance at Mamaroneck, N. Y., which
was started Sunday night as a Christ
mas celebration ended Monday morn
ing in a muderous row, one man be
ing killed outright, another so badly
stabbed that he is expected to die
and several others receiving bad
wounds. The scene of the tragedy
was the "Foot and a Half House."
The row was started by Antonio
Dori. Verata Naraglano was waltz
ing around the hall with a young
woman who had refused to dance
with Dori. The latter followed them
about the hall, ridiculing their danc
ingand making himself generally dis
agreeable to them. Naraglano replied
to his taunts and Dori challenged
him to a duel. The dance was stopped
immediately. Naraglano and Dori
started outside, followed by all the
revellers.
Naraglano drew a revolver. Dori a
stilletto. The latter made a plunge at
Naraglano and drove his stiletto
deep into the man's breast. Narag
lano fired twice. One shot tore open
Dori's arm and the other struck An
tonio (iuiseppi, one of the musicians,
in the eye, the bullet penetrating the
brain. This immediately precipitated
a general light. When the Italians
had fought themselves tired (iuiseppi
and Naraglano were helpless on the
ground. Dominico Chippi and (iui
seppi Cortez were bleeding from
many cuts.
(iuiseppi, the musician, died last
night and Naraglano is still uncon
scious.
After the fight there was a general
flight of Italians from the town and
as but little information can be ob
tained no arrests have been made.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 27. —The annual
haii(|uet of the .left'ersoniati club of
Lincoln last night brought together
nearly .'!()() representative men of the
democratic ana populistic parties of
-Nebraska, together with a number of
leaders from other states. William J.
Bryan made his first appearance at
public gathering since the election
and the greeting accorded him was
never more hearty.
Aside from the remarks of Mr.
Bryan, the event of the evening was
the speech of .(ohn W. Kern, defeat
ed democratic candidate for gover
nor of Indiana, who aroused the ban
quet.ers to a high pitch of enthus
iasm, not only by his laudation of
Mr. Bryan, but by his outspoken crit
icism of those democrats whom he
accused of contributing to Bryan's
defeat. His denunciation of demo
crats who offered "gratuitous coun
sel to the democracy," though he
mentioned no names, was accepted
■•is a reference to ex-President Cleve
la nd.
Mr. Bryan, whose subject was
"Principles Live," said in part:
"At this banquet, surrounded by
neighbors who have been my friends
for ten years, I may be pardoned for
saying a word of a personal nature.
Five times you have voted for me for
public office —twice for congress,
once for the United States senate and
twice for the presidency—and no
candidate ever received more loyal
support than you have given.
"Whether I shall ever be a candi
date for office again is a question
which must be determined by
events. No one can speak with cer
tainty of the future, for one's des
tiny is not known (tntil his life's
work is complete. I shall be content
if it is my lot to aid in the triumph
of the principles while others enjoy
the honors and bear the responsibil
ity of office.
"The holding of public office should
lie an incident and not the extreme
aim of the citizen. It should not be
an end, but the means for the accom
plishment of a purpose.
"The presidency seemed desirable
because it would have enabled me to
give effective aid to certain reforms
which I believe to be necessary to
the public welfare, but defeat—even
a second defeat —does not lessen my
interest in this reform, and time? may
prove that my work is to advocate
rather than to execute.
"The Commoner will give me an
opportunity to participate in public
tliscnssions, and I ain sure that an
editorial pursuit will furnish as much
.ntellectual enjoyment as I could
have found in the White House, and
n addition thereto will give me more
time for home pleasures.
"The principles for which we con
tended in the last campaign still live
ind we who believe in them must
continue to fight for them. An elec
tion does not change principles; it
mly determines what principles shall
be for the time being applied."
Mr. Kern, who spoke in response to
the tisast "The liank and File,"
praised Biehard Olnev, David B. Hill,
I'iourke Cochran. Robert. E. Pattison,
Alexander K. McC'lure, Arthur P.
Qorman, Henry Watterson and other
{fold democrats for their course in
the late campaign and "their pat
riotic protests against the advance
3f the hosts of imperialism," and con
tinued:
"It is in no spirit of bitterness,
however, I add that there were a few
men, once prominent in democratic
ranks, who in the midst of all the
stormy scenes of this mighty contest
remained silent, except that now and
then they took occasion to furnish
iid to the enemy by making public
lenial that they were in sympathy
with the cause of the people,
"For the sake of the future welfare
af the party I shall attempt no harsh
criticism of the course of these gen
tlemen, but I will not forbear saying
here ami everywhere that they need
not be surprised if any gratuitous
counsel which they may seek to
thrust upon the millions of loyal
lemocrats who fought the good fight
mid kept the faith shall fall upon re
luctant ears."
