A PENNY SAVING SCHEME.

A move has been inaugurated in Eng
land in connection with the free educa-
ton scheme which went into effect at
the beginning of the present month.
Under free education, the parents of all
children who go TO school between the
ages of five and fourteen years, are now
saved the expense of paying the six
cents per week which previously they
had to pay for every chIld's education.
School directors have been everywhere
instructed by the department of educa-
ton to induce the parents, in all possible
cases, not to appropriate the threepence
a week for each child to their own use,
but to deposit in school savings bank for
the child's future benefit. And the
heartiness with which the gov
ernment's appeal to the school
directors, aud of the directors to
the parents, has been responded to, may
be Judged from the fact that, in the one
typical city of Manchester, within the
first ten days of the schools commencing
work. no fewer than {, 1000 new accounts
were opened in the school savings banks.
The chief argument in support of the
scheme Is that il viii stimulate a greater
degree of thrift in the minds of both
children and parents And lead to habits
of greater economy. The same thing
has been suggested and urged for adop.
ton in this country, but without success,
so far as NE have heard. The points
suggested in favor Of the system have in
them some pretty strong argument, but
there are others equally strong against
it. One reason why il would be imprac
ticable here Just al this lime IS that il
would in a short time withdraw from
circulation enough money to further EN-
barrass the money situation.

UNREQUITED BENEFITS.

The south has made extraordinary
progress in cotton manufacture within
the last ten years. In 1880 there were
667, S54 spindles operated in the southern
mills, while this year the number re-
ported is $3.50, 1913. The greatest inn
provements has been in the states of
Georgia and the Carolinas, which have
two-thirds the spindles in the south to-
day. This marvellous prosperity IS
largely due to the system of protection
in force in the United States; but strange
and unnatural as it may seem that sec
ton persists in its opposition to that
benefcient system. This can only be
accounted for upon the prevalence OF
strong, implacable prejudice, for it can
not be said that people with sufficient
enterprise to use the advantages thus
afforded are so ignorant as not to know
better But it is not alene in the manu-
facture Of cotton that the south is bene-
flied by the protective system. The iron
and lumber and rice and sugar indus
tries share the vivifying effects OF the
policy that reserves the best market to
products of home industry.

The new tariff imposed by the Next
can congress upon American live stock
is to go into effect Nov. /, but it is ex-
pected that before that date Secretary
Blaine will have succeeded in securing
the application and full operation of the
reciprocity clause of the new tariff law
enacted by our congress, thereby fore
stalling the proposed embargo upon our
animals, the hog and horse portion of
which find good demand in the land of
the AZtecs and Montezumas.

The gold-standard advocates Of Europe

and the balance of the world believe that
the silver policy now pursued by this
government has already brought shout a
condition that threatens a panic in the
near future. The point 10 that declara-
ton is that there has been issued by this
government, already. too large a volume
of certificates representing silver. the
effect of which will be 10 shake public
confidence in the stability of money
values. Prompted as this scheme Is by
selfish interests, instead of the public
welfare, there IS nothing surprising in
such a declaration, but it will not cause
many people in this country 10 think
that there IS too much money in circula-
ton, or that its value IS in the least i'm
paired.

Kentucky's Centenary.

From the New Y rk Tribune
Kentucky is already preparing to cele-
brate the completion of her first century
as state of the Union, although the
time for the celebration is nearly nine
months distant. Kentucky Twas the sec
ond state to be admitted, following Yer
mont by more than year; for the recent
celebration at Bennington conceded
neither with the date of the battle fought
there nor with the date of Vermont
acquisition of statehood, the latter being
March 4. 1891 Kentucky came in as
the fifteenth state on June i, 1872, and
the celebration of the centennial OF that
event in her history viii take place next
summer. An elaborate celebration Is
already planned. The next state IN the
historic line is Tennessee, which Is Ken
tuckys junior by four years to day.
No other states centennial occurs IN the
present century, but Ohio viii have It's
turn early in the next.

After all the fuss the Democrats have
made about silver and free coinage 1t
is now clear that that party IS going TO
dodge the question in the pending cam
paign in the states, and it is very doubt
full that anything will be said on thst
side in the next congress. The legisla-
ton of the last congress, enacted by the
Republican majority, has '1eft 1T on

lift the veil until after 49, If defeated
this year and next on the tariff questions,
which they will strive to make the one
issue, the Democrats will try to recoup
on the silver question. If they should
succeed in the pending campaigns they
will dismiss the silver question alto

WANTS 100000.

Prompted by the success of Galveston
in securing the aid of the government to
the extent of $4,000, 900 to establish
deep harbor at that point, Savannah,
Ga, is now organizing movement to
secure an appropriation of S3,0OO,0OO to
increase the depth of water in the Savan-
nah river, from the city to its mouth,
from 211 feet to 26 feet, SO as to admit
the largest sea-going vessels to the city
wharves. Next to New Orleans, Savan-
nah claims to do the largest export bust
ness of any port from the mouth Of the
Chesapeake bay to the Rio Grande on the
Gulf coast, and that the exports from a
larger area of the country and more states
90 through that port than any other. As
to southern products cotton, turpentine
and rosin particularly-the claim is
probably correct. But Savannah is one
of the oldest cities in the country and has
had large sums of money expened upon
her harbor and the river, and So, 000, 900
will no doubt appear to be big sum of
money to put in there in view of the de-
mands that will be made upon the gov
eminent for that class of improvements,
and the further view of the probable
scarcity of funds available for such pur-
poses. The Atlantic seaboard has
monopolized the bulk of appropriations
made for harbor and waterway improve
ments and the balance of the country
feels that its claims should have little
more consideration in the matter of
public improvements before any further
extravagant sums are spent on the
favored portion.

A Hoodooed Party.

From the Troy Chief.
1t is claimed that the New York DEM
ocratic convention was run in the in
terest of Governor Hill for president.
We can't see it. The platform squarely
endorses Cleveland's position on the sill
yer question and condemns Hills. What
is more, unless something happens be-
tween now and then of more consequence
than has happened thus far, when the
Democratic national convention meets,
Cleveland will be its nominee. He has
hoodooed the party. They cannot see
any man for president but him. Another
run and another disastrous defeat IS the
only thing that will take the superstition
out of them.

The irrigation bureau of the depart
ment of agriculture is making a scientific
study of the water currents through the
underlying gravel beds of western Kan
sas and eastern Colorado. Along the
Kansas division of the Union Pacific
railroad are several wells which pene-
trate this water-bearing gravel. For SIX
months record has been kept of one OF
these wells. Gauges and other apparatus
have been employed. The readings
show that there are rises and falls OF
this underground water, and that there
is a regular movement obedient to laws
vet to be discovered. In furtherance OF
this investigation Engineer Blaisedell, of
the bureau, has been sent to western
Kansas to put floats IN dozen or more
of these wells. In this way it viii be
possible in short time to know the vol
ume and all about the movement OF this

not taken the advice that was gwen
them to repudiate their mortgage indebt-
ness, but are paving it up as fast as they
get the money for their crops. The sta

are encouraging to all holders of farm

of the farmers of the country 1t IS

pursuing in this respect, and 1t will re,
