Now, whatever may be claimed for west
ern mortgages, the time has certainly come
when we should apply 10 this matter The
home maxim which teaches that we should
not put too many eggs In one basket. II is
true that these Investments enable our banks
to declare larger dividends than they other
wise could, but we should not lose sight the
well-known principle which should always
govern savings banks, that large divi-
dends are Of secondary importance
as compared with absolute safety
Confidence In our entire system of savings
banks Is all important 10 the end that our
workingmen and middle classes, for whose
benefit they were more especially established,
may use them more and more extensively.
Disaster to any one Of them iniiicts an injury
upon all and is shock to public confidence
which causes irreparable injury to the general
welfare Of the State. Experience demon-
stratcs clearly and conclusvely that high
rates Of interest are not the attractive feature
Of savings banks In the eye OF the depositor,
but rsther absolute freedom from any mis-
givings or uneasiness with reference TO the
safety OF the principal The banks paying
the largest dividends are not those which
show the most healthy growth. But even
lf the reverse were true, still the
State owes 1t to the general welfare
of all 10 see that such policy is
pursued as shall prevent, as far as may be,
the possibility Of disaster TO any. There are
several savings banks in Vermont which |
believe should have divided fully ouC-half
per cent less per annum to their depOsitors
during the last four years investing the eN
ira halfpcr cent. in premiums upon first
class municipal bonds, bonds Of cities and
counties whose credit ranks so high that in
| case Of any financial Stringency they would
be readily convertible without sacrifice. To
do otherwise is to invite run upon the
weaker institutions upon the slightest indlca-
ton of approaching financial disturbance.
Let those who prefer high rates to absolute
safety withdraw their funds from savings in
stitutions. Trustees should cheerfully wei
come such Withdrawals as being for the good
OF their institutions. To try to attract de-
posits by high rates Is subverting the purpose
for which savings banks werc established.
and In my Judgment Is little less than q
crime. II is my well settled conviction that
the law allowing investments In western
mortgages should be SO amended as to per-
nit only 10 per cent Of the entire assets OF
any savings bank or trust company TO be in
| vested therein.

WHAT THE STATE NEEDS.
from the Ludlow Tribunc.l

lfTOm the LuulOW lTlDunc
What the state needs is rcsolute,
capable, incorruptible executive, who
with strength of mind aud body can
give his best powers to the service of the
state. Such a man the TRIBUNE has
persistently presented in its candidate
Hon. c. s. Page.
Whether he shall receive the nomina-
tion or not, will make no difference in
our honest conviction that Of the candi-
dates thus far presented he is best fitted
to serve the whole people. The servant
of no clique nor clan "he will not even for
the sake of being governor, tie his hands
in any way or pledge subserviency to any
interest,"" and the marked business
abilities which even his enemies
concede, ft him for .
wise and conservative management OF
affairs. That the people of Vermont
will secure his services by electing him
governor is the Txibune's sincere faith.
1t will be of little avail to try the "dark
horse" plan in this campaign. 1t is
morally certain that ore or the other of
the candidates that have been so long
before the people will receive the nomi-
nation. So far as the Tribune is con-
cerned it would much rather support
Col. Woodbury., II Mr.. Page could not
carry the convention, than to give sup
port to any man who may hope to slide
into public favor as a compromise. Let
the contestants fight It out manfully and
abide the result.

ncrs uSEARrHED BY THE AxrI-ALcoHoLIo
CoyoREsg

The Anti Alcoholic Congress in Paris
brought out many serious facts, one Of
which Is that the dram-shops In Paris have
risen since 1880 from q, 600 TO 5000. In
thirty years the consumption of alcohol has
been trebled, aud as much as 30, 600, 600 gal
IONS has been manufactured out Of potatoes
for the French market This shows an aver
age yearly consumption OF over twelve
quarts per adult man, The consumption OF
alcohol doubled between 1876 and 1885. II
Of the Nord, while strangely enough In the
wine countries Of Southern France the con.
sumption Is lowest. However, deaths from
alcoholism are much fewer ia the north Of
France than either in England on Russia.

French Military Forces.

An intelligent officer at the arsenal
in conversation said that France to-day
had 500, coo fully equipped soldiers in
active service at home; within seven
days l, 200, 900 could be put in the field,
and within three weeks total of g.
500, 900 men could be had for effective
war service. This seems like big fig
uring on paper. but from the large
bodies of soldiers located in every viii
lage and hamlet wherever you 60 it
doesn't seem like boasting. There
seems to be general impression that
trouble may arise from Italy at any
moment. therefore France is prepared
to rush a torrent upon her shores.
-Four heavy iron-clads are lying in the
outer harbor several others inside the
docks, with six or eight steel cruisers
all ready for their crews. A fleet OF
sixteen first-class war ships, and about
twenty torpedo boats could be reported
ready for sea from Cherbourg alone
within twentv-four hours notice. The
yards at Brest and other stations are
said to be equally prepared, showing
that France must have a powerful
navy, not old-fashioned ships, but of
the latestim approved batteries and speed,
steel cruisers recording twenty knots
and upwards. = Cherboarg Letter.

Johnny Food. tho Be.r.

There was a Sunday school excursion
from Wilmington to the Geological gar
dens recently, and one Of the happdest
boys in the party was 1e-year-old John
Conway. 1t was his first visit, and he
took in the sights with open eyed won
der. BE fed the elephants his Last cake,
spent his final nickel for peanuts to
throw to the prairie dogs, and he fairly
bubbled over with excitement when he
reached the bear pits and looked down
at the funny antics Of the animals.
Seeing the open spaces on the lower
side of the pit, Johnny stole away from
his companions and took a position by
which he could look through the bars.
In an evil moment the lad turned his
head to look at something behind him,
when n of the bears caught a glimpse
of his finger ~protruding through the
bars, and a moment later the digit was
transferred to bruins stomach. The
boys screams attracted the attention of
n Of the guards, and he was sent to
the German hospital for treatment
Philadelphia North American.
