editor and reporter, as well as the editorial
writer, Is moral and intellectual; and the part

identity laid by in some system of popular saw
ings institutions, where each deposit made is a
continued kindly temptation to the depositor to
add yet more to 1t. the benefcent change in the
condition and propriety of the aboring people in
America would be simply Unreasonable. Chi
