The refusal Of the city clerk of Wichita
TO submit the census returns is a worse
give-away on that town than is the report
that was sent from Leavenworth. The re-
fusal will lead people TO believe that the

Meridian has been greater than the loss in
Leavenworth.-k City Sun.

Second Comptroller Gilkinson OF the
treasury department has made new
ruling in regard to claims against the
government, which is sensible to de-
gree. In deciding upon claim which
recently came before his department he
found that it was a just one and should
be paid Whereupon a clerk, who had
been long time IL the department, said
that the claim might be an honest one
but that the precedents were against it.
Comptroller Gilkinson replied: 1.-The
duty o. the clerks and officers of this
division is to ascertain first whether the
government honestly owes this man the
money which he claims, and second,
having so ascertalned, to find some law
which will authorize us to pay it to him. "
1t has too often been the case that gov
eminent officials take the position that
they must guard the government against
fraud, to such an alarming extent, that
they look upon every just claim as an
attempt to rob. and thus cause great
deal Of injustice.

Smuggling matches are not under the
ban of the law in California, but they
draw the line at being an innocent wit

President Garfield had taken place at
Lathrop instead of Washington the
chances are that MIR. Blaine, who was

choice in selecting his companions for
the future: commendable change from
his practice Of q quarter of century

DO well to prepare himself for some
surprises when he marches through the

don't expect TO see: surprise at not see

suspect the cause of his greatest surprise
Will be to find himself there.

PUBLIC SCHOOL, SAVINGS BANKS.
The Globe-Democrat saws of Mr.. Thi,

The Globe-Democrat says of Mr.. Thirdly
who established these savings banks ii
public schools, that:
He began to try the plan in two schools
Of Long Island in 1885. He says the trial
there and elsewhere has proved a complete
success. Out of $50 pupils in two schools
666 became depositors of nearly $1,000
Thirty-five schools in five different states
have adopted the bank plan, and in al
cases with success Thirteen thousand
pupils are reported as depositors OF SD, 900
There are also clubs of boys outside OF
schools now working up the same principle
TO great advantage.
His recent investigation of the working
of these school savings banks has been
highly satisfactory, as the above state
ments prove. The idea is an excellent
one. 1t has passed from the experiment
stage to that of assured utility and Sue
cess. Why should not this system be
introduced into our public schools
Children pick up pennies and nickels in
various and proper ways, and yet usually
consider that the only use for their small
gratuities is to spend them for candies
and toys.
At the risk Of cultivating the mer-
cenary spirit too early in children it
is well to teach them the import
ance of saving. 1t increases their
self-respect and self-importance to feel
that they are possessors-proprietors Of
something of value in their own right.
1t teaches them habits Of economy, and
these cannot be learned too early in this
spendthrift country. Think OF CSC pupils
in two schools who have saved on an
average from their chance pennies $3.50
each, or 1900 who have saved on an
average $3.50 each! And the system is
yet only in its infancy.
Who will be the first to start the say
ings bank in our schools? There is no
patent on the invention, and every one
of our public schools should have its
children's savings bank under a carefully
guarded system. The money could be
placed monthly in one OF our savings
banks, where it would draw interest, and
every child would be stimulated to fur
Their saving when it saw that what it had
already saved was earning something.
