POSTAL SAYINGS

New York Tribune: A postal saw
ings bank bill has been agreed To by the
house committee on post offices and
post roads, and is thus insured full
consideration in the house. 1t appears
to be. judicious and well guarded in its
provisions. Deposits are to be received
in sums ranging from 10 cents to 800,
no person being allowed to have on de-
post more than $500 at one time. In
terest is limited to two per cent. There
is no doubt that the measure, if il be
comes law, will prove beneficial and
popular, especially in country districts
where there are no saw
ings institutions. The convenience
of placing small sums of money in the
safe-keeping of SO trustworthy custo-
dian and good paymaster as the United
States government will create habits of
saving in many thousands of people who
ordinarily live from hand to mouth.
With the improvement in the civil serv-
ice which has come from the long period
of Republican administration, there is
not much danger of the governments
losing by the defalcatiOn of postmasters.
OF course the depositors would be alb
solutely secure against loss, for if a post
master should embezzle the funds de
posted at his Office the government
would have to make good the amount.

Topeka Commonwealth: A gentle
man of this city, who has just returned
from Cincinnati, says that he attended
one of the meetings held by Harrison,
the revivalist, at st. Paul's NJ. Z. church,
and that when the audience had assem-
bled and the house was filled, the pas
tor of the church arose and asked con.
tributions for the Methodist churches
of Kansas, some of whose ministers
were obliged to go barefooted and in
ragged garments, and who suffered for
the necessities of life. 1t was strange
thing for a Kansan to hear, and will be
stranger to the people of Kansas. The
