Colonel j. w. Ray, of indianapolis
addressed the Merchants and Real
Estate Exchange Tuesday evening oh
Savings Banks. He said:
The first bank of this kind was es-
tablished in 177S, and from that time
they have continued to increase rapid
ly in numbers and usefulness. The
first savings bank in America was
established in Philadelphia in 1916.
The banks are usually managed very
carefully, and the trustees serve with
out pay. The report Of the bank ex-
amihers of New York show that there
were among these banks but three
failures in fortv-seven years. These
banks encourage industry and econo-
my from the fact that they receive
very email sums on deposit. and man
does not have to wait until he has a
large amount of money saved up be-
fore putting it in bank. They are,
therefore, gatherers up of small sums
which otherwise could not be saved
at all. Statistics show that this has
grown to an immense business, hun
drcds of millions being invested in it.
Last fall Boston had no panic, which
was owing to the great number of saw
ings banks in that city. The figures
speak volumes in behalf of this sort
Of banks. In indianapolis there are
nine savings banks, and from imper-
feet reports of their condition it may
be safely asserted that there are not
less than 10, 600 depositors and 81 500, :
600 on deposit. If $500 be placed on
deposit at the end of the first year the
principal and interest will amount to
S545; in i've years, $7S6. As; in ten
years, 81 ,5O4.9O. Experience has
shown that eight per cent is about as
much as these banks can afford to pay
in Indiana. Mr.. Ray then gave a
number Of cases, within his knowl-
edge. showing the practical benefits
resulting from the frequent deposits
of small sums. And the habit is one
Of benefit to the employer rs we'll as
the employe. IF the latter i careful
and economical in his own affairs, he
will show the same qualities in the
affairs of his employer. There is no
competition or rivalry between savings
banks and banks OF discount and de-
posit, for there is room for both and a
separate field for each.

Another bread riot in the Missouri
penitentiary The miserable wretches
whose misdeeds have forced q great,
brave and humane people to lay their
strong hands upon and confne them,
have been seized by a merciless and
corrupt ring of soulless politicians
and sold, and now in their slavery are
able to obtain food to keep them alive
only by riot. Such is the chapter OF
history this leasing business is writing
for Missouri. Slavery, abolished as
to the individual STAKEHOLDER is adopt
ed as State enterprise, and in addi-
inflict upon malefactors, starvation is
added to the portion of the unfortu.
nate and helpless victims. 1t may
save the State a few dollars, but II
conflicts with the theory of the Con.
stitution, shocks common humanity
shames religion, and diseraces a great
State.
A more horrible place than the
Missouri penitentiary, under the leas'
ing policy, it were difficult for imagi
nation to paint. Starved and fed OF
rotton food until especially subjected
to disease and death, the dead convict
is hustled, nude as a newborn ba be
into a rough, pine box, and buried
with no ceremony or recognition OF
his humanity than marks the inter.
ment of a rabid dog. The men are
denied soap with which to wash ol
shave, and hence go for weeks with
unshaven faces and unwashed bodies;
and when discharged at the termina-
ton of their sentence, although the
law requires that they be sufficiently
clad, they are sent into the wintry
blasts shivering, with their garments
so badly moth eaten that they will moi
hold together until the poor wretch
gets out of the city.
Such arc the facts as stated by one
who is evidently informed. And
added to all this, the lessees are con.
stantly coming forward with applica
tions for State aid, alleging that the
institution does not pay. Did mer
ever know such infamy to prosper?

to travel; he had to cross the Kansas
and Missouri rivers, but he was Bound

Senator Pease. of Mississippi. on

Sheridan in Louisiana. and said the
President had been declared an
usurper and : military dictator. He
had been arraigned on mere newspa-

tempt to overthrow the government OF
Louisiana, the President had only
performed that which his oath of Of

was bound to recognize kellogg as

Kellogg left him. He said the act of
Wiltz was part OF . conspiracy or the
part Of the Democrats to overthrow

one word of ccneure has come from

ist. He WAS surprised that an Amer
lean Senator should stand in his place
and apoloeise for the outraess com.
nitted in Louisiana IN the hast few
years, when IL had been shown that
3. 500 persons had been murdered
there for political reasons since 1866
He read from the report Of Mr.. Schurz
upon the condition ef the South made
in 1865, and said he begged to assure
Senator Schurs that the condition of
affairs he found then had been grow
ing worse every day since. This new
movement at the South meant revolu-
ton and the destruction of the Re
public Under the political teachings
Of the senator from Missouri (SeAurz)
his State had been turned over to the
secession Democracy. and he would
have the Republiean party aow turn
over the South to the White League
banditti. The old kuklux organiza-
ton and the White League Of to-day

The Houston, mo Pioneer relates
the following: While Doctor Young
and Hayden Lynch were on their way
from Waynesville to this place they
stopped at a cabin BY the vayrids to
warm The proprietor announced
himself rs q doctor of medicine. and
was entertaining his guests with
vivid account Of the honors he bore
off at the Mcdowell Medical College
at the time of his graduation. While
intent on his narrative, an obtrusive
hen, oblivious Of the profundity of
the doctors discourse, and of her own
duty rs a genteel bird. entered the
room, and flying upon the bed depos
tied thereon . new laid egg. A we'll
bred hen would, of course, have re-
tired quietly and waited for another
voice to have sounded her praise, but
this plebean biped, copying her mos
ter's example, at the close of the per-
formance, cackled loudly to call atten-
ton TO the feat she had 90 expedi-
tiously accomplished. The pseudo
doctor was annoyed at the intrusion.
To think that high toned chicken Of
his own brood, one he had nurtured
with great care, and instructed in the
profoundest mysteries of hen litera-
ture, should 20 far forget the respect
due her master NJ to cackle in his
presence, and thus interrupt and
break the thread of his narrative, just
at its most interesting part. Annoyed,
yet seeking not to appear %, be glanced
furtively about for . missile to hurl
at the offender. A cat at his feet
seemed the most convenient object,
and seixing her by that rear append :
age vulgarly called . tail, and with .
back handed toss threw her at the OBJ
trusive biddy, and thus drove her
from the apartment. The doctor re-
sumed his narration, and tho cat en-
sconsed at his feet, seemed to take
her use rs a matter of course. A few
moments passed and another hen, en-
ulative Of her predecessor, entered
through . crevice in the logs, sought
the nest, and beside the 6rst deposit
| ted another egg, all unobserved by
the master Of the house, but much to
the merriment Of his guests. The
host had reached q point in his nara
tive just preceding the climax. and
was using the pronoun | with fright
full frequency, just as the hen accom-
plished her purpose and broke out
with the most internal din Of which
the bird language is capable. For.
bearance was no longer . virtue; and
the exasperated man sprang to his
feet, made several brief. ejaculaiory
quotations not found in Scripture,
and seizing the recumbeut cat, waved
her fiercely over his head for 4 mo-
ment, and then hurled her at the Of
Tending bird A squall from both cat
