A NEW YORK correspondent, in n re-
cent letter, talks about the wealth of the
Presidents, and says: general Grant is
estimated at $2OO,OOO, which makes him
the richest ex-President since Buchanan.
Hayes is not rich, though In well-to-do
condition. Andy johnson and Abraham
Lincoln each left $4,000. Frank Pierce
entered the White house poor, but went
back to Concord worth 100000. Willard
Fillmore made a snug fortune out Of the
law, and was comparatively rich when
he became President. General Taylor
saved his army salary, and was in indie
pendent circumstances when elected to
the Presidency. He held the office hardly
year and half, and left property
worth $4,000. Tyler was bankrupt
when the death Of Harrison made him
President, and he married fortune in
Miss Gardiner. He went out Of office
rich man, but he became leader in the
Confederaoy, and his property was sunk
in the general ruin occasioned by the
war. James X. Polk had good oppor-
tunity to make money before his cleo
ton, and he was an economist by nature.
He left $l5O,0OO. Martin Van Buren, was
the richest Of all our Presidents, his
estate being estimated at Ss00,000. He
made money as a lawyer and also as a
politician, and his real estate purchases
became immensely profitable, but his
money has been almost entirely wasted
by his heirs. Andrew Jackson was not a
money-making man. He lived nine
years after the expiration of his term of
office, and left only large landed estate
commonly known rs the Hermitage.
John Quincy Adams was methodioal
business man and an economist. He left
about 100000, which at that time was a
large sum. James Monroe was so poor
in his old age that he became the guest
Of his son-in-law, Samuel L. Gouveneur,
In this city, where he died. Madison
was more successful in taking care ofhis
money, and left his widow property
which enabled her to live handsomely in
Washington till the end of her days
Jefferson passed his last days in much
distress, and was really afraid that his
place would be sold by the sheriff. He
was an object Of public charity, and ,
subscription was opened in his behalf il
this city, but his death occurred so soor
that the benevolent effort was not re
quired. Old John Adams left an estat,

THB LIGHT on yesterday published the
appeal for help from r. L. Lee Camp No.
/, Confederate veterans, Of Richmond,
Virginia, for assistance at their fair
to be held In that city in May, for the
purpose Of establishing home for the
disabled veterans. The object is a
worthy one, and there are many in San
Antonio who could easily make some
liberal donation, either in money or
merchandise. Many posts of the Grand
Army Of the Republic have sent large
contributions, and notably w. II. Lytle.
Post G. A. r., of Fort Scott, Kansas,
have made arrangements whereby they
will send q car load Of corn to Rich

the success Of the fair, and 1t is to be
hoped some response will be made from
this city towards the object.

PUBLIC opinion is rapidly setting in
against the debasing habit Of pistol
carrying, and it will not be long until
the practice will be entirely done away
away with. Heretofore in all the cru
sades against the pistol the public
simply stood aloof and let the news
papers do all the leoturing, but quite
recently the correspondents have taken
it up and have inveighed so strongly
against 1t that there seems to be some
chance accomplishing something. The
pistol should go, and If there was n
penalty making 1t felony to be found
carrying 1t, the race of sneaking towards
would be rapidly thinned, and the record
Of their victims will grow beautifully
less.

Our Presidential Campaign Offer.

The attention of our readers is
called to the astonishingly liberal
campaign offer of the publishers of
the WEEKLY PIONEER PRESS:
1t is proposed to send the WEEKLY
PIONEER PRESS to any address. 10
those who are unfamiliar with it's
columns we would say that the
WEEKLY PIONEER PRESS stands at
the head and front Of journalism in
this country. For full and complete
news and miscellany, interesting cor
respondence from all parts of the
world, accurate and complete market
reports, it is excelled by no weekly
paper, East OF West.
Those subscribing now will receive
the paper during the entire presdien-
tial campaign and until after the as
sembling of congress, next fall. We
have made a clubbing arrangement
which permits us to offer the WEEK
LY PIONEER PRESS for eight months
and the DICKINSON PRESS for one
year for $3.50, cash in advance, and
confidently expect that every farmer
and mechanic in the county will
avail himself of this opportunity to
secure their home paper and a first
class metropolitan paper for the
small sum above named. This offer
will be open until next September,
but i'll order to cover the full cam
paign, subscriptions should be made
at once. Or to any of our subscribers
who pay their subscription one year
in advance we will send the PIONEER
PRESS for the eight months for SO
cents, or the PIONEER PRESS only for
the small sum of IS cents.

The Democratic National Convention
NOminates Cleveland and Hendricks.

NOmlnateS ClevclanQ anu HENDRICKS
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE conven-
tion reassembled this morning and
after a short time got down to bust
ness.
During the taking of the second bal
lot whenever a vote was lost to
Cleveland the Tammany men began
cheering. Hendricks gained one vote
in Illinois, which caused continuous
cheering. Handkerchiefs, hats and
umbrellas were waved and the band
struck up but could not be heard.
AT ll:30 A. M. the Tammany men
were standing on their seats and
the convention was very noisy.
1t was some time before the chair
man was able to restore order and
when he did it was only temporary
as the cheering broke out afresh
when Tammany proposed three
cheers for Hendricks. After this
the tumult somewhat subsidized. At
| ter order was restored Voorhees, with.
drew the name Of Mcdonald and an
nounced that Indiana would go for
Hendricks. John Kelly withdrew
from the hall and at l2:49 guns were
fired on the lake front in consequence.
At lilo p. M. the nomination of
Cleveland was conceded and num-
Der of states changed their votes
in his favor. The announcement of
second the ballot at 9 z. M. showed a
clear majority for Cleveland and is as
follows: Cleveland, 6s3; Bayard, 81:
Hendricks, 4511a; Thurman, 4; McDon-
aid, 2; Randall, 4. The convention
then adjourned until P. NJ. 1t is be-
lieved that Villas will be nominated
for vice president.
The convention at 1904 p. M. NOM
mated Hendricks, by solid vote,
for vice president.

The need Of depositary for the saw
ings Of the laboring classes. wherein
small deposits might be made, and In
forest therecn received ~ the deposit.
or, even though at rate lower than the
ordinary interest charge on loans. was
early recognized. To meet 10 savings
banks were established by benevolent
individuals. the primary object being to
induce the poor 70 make sach savings.
The hrst regularly organized bank OF
this kind Ia England was established at
the beginning Of the present century.
The irst savings bank In the United
States was organized at Philadelphia In
1916, the second al Boston In the same
year, and tho third at New York three
years afterward. Savings banks are
now chartered and regulated under
general laws In every prominent Euro
pean and American State.
The idea Of connecting savings ba nks
with the postal system originated in
England, almost az soon a. the propo
sition TO establish private banks of saw
ings was adopted. In 1893 Mr.. white
head proposed she estsblishmsat OF
suoh institutions In connection With the
post Office. IL was not. however, acted
upon until over fifty years afterward.

passed Parliament in May. 1861, and
went into effect IN the foliowinr San
