THE New York Herald asks this question
"What shall the poor do with their saw
ings p, and says;
"Itis very bad and demoralizing thing
to destroy The confidence OF poor people
who have been persuaded to practice absti-
nence and lay by their earnings. The ten
dency OF rotten, ssFindling savings banks
is to demoraliZe the laboring classes, de-
stroy their habits of foresight and thrifl
and tempt them to spend as they go In or
der TO make sure of enjoying the fruit OF
their earnings. To beget such habit of
mind in the laboring classes is more de-
plorable than TO cheat them out OF their
money. These numerous and fagraD,
abuses of their confidence not only destroy
their past savings, but discourage them
from making attempts to save in future.
The astounding corruption which has been
exposed in the management of savings
banks tends to make the poor reckless and
improvident, tempts them to spend their
money in hurtful indulgences, and points
to large increase of taxes for the support
OF the INDECENT by public charity. 1t is for
the interest of the community TO prevent
PoupCAAshl oy ciCOuIaSihe hduibS vi saw ing
among people who live upon their daily or
weekly wages. The savings banks, SO long
as they possessed public confidence, were
the most powerful OF all incentives TO prov
idence and abstinence. The demonstrated
rottenness OF SO many OF these institutions
is serious blow to the morals of the most
deserving class in the community"
The savings banks have been good insti-
tutions in many cities. 1t is only since the
corruption has become so frightful in
Washington that officers of the govern
ment, from member OF the Cabinet to the
lowest tide-waiter, could steal with impu-
nifty, that dishonesty ike a moral leprosy
has spread over the Northern States and
infected every part Of society untsr the

she was suddenly confronted by her cousin
Andrew Dougherty, who seemed to be in u
half intoxicated condition. He commenced
to converse with her, and soon an sltercs-
tion of words ensued about some tfital
matter, and he becoming enraged at her,
suddenly drew a revolver, and fired at her.
She noticing the action, prepared herself
and when he pulled the trigger she threw
up her hand striking his. thereby saving
her lite, as be had pointed the barrel direct
ly al her face. he intended the bullet to
be fatal one, and her escape was very
narrow one. As II was the ball passed just
over her right ear, grazing the skin, and
the powder singed her hair.

him, and he started off in O great hurry

not badly hurt the excitement subsidized.

Mr.. EDITOR: - The Presidential

little effect on this young city, but the
price Of oil affects the spirits of our
citizens more than all other causes
combined.
Our city is overfowing with men
looking for employment Men come
here and spend the little money they
bring with them and then leave for
home, wiser if not better men. This
is the same story told day after day.
You can see hundreds of this class of
people every day, and l would advise
all who have 20 depend on their labor
for their daily bread, if they can earn
their board at home, to stay there, and
not risk coming here so long as the
price of oil is below SO per barrel.
Some few wells are being put down.

The Batcman Hotel, at Harms
City, was burned down on Monday
morning last, and SO rapid was the
progress of the fire that Mrs. Bateman,
three daughters and one son, and
man named Brown, Of New York,
were burned to death. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from light
ell cigar or match thrown under the
counter in the office.
Mr.. John Frick Of Philadelphia,
and little daughter arrived in town
on visit on Thursday last, calcula-
ting to spend about week here. On
Sunday, however, tho little girl WAS
taken with a severe sore throat, which
it was feared would terminate in diph-

departed for home. We hope soon to
hear that the little girl has completely
recovered.
