There is no more hopeful evidence Of
thrift and economy than that afforded
by the remarkable growth all over the
country OF, building associations, or
cooperative banks, as they are some
times called. In their best form they
rest on purely mutual agreements to
encourage saving and to make 1t pos
sible to apply the money ordinarily
spent in rent toward paying for homes,
are restricted as to territory and are
formed by men of about the same in
comes and similar ways of life. The
system is extending. Louisiana, where
the idea is comparatively q new one,
has twenty-one associations with as
sets of three and q half millions.
There are more than Ave thousand
shareholders, one fourth Of whom are
women, and more than four hundred
colored persons are on the list. The
shareholders are rightly proud of the
two thousand houses they have built
or aided to build. Other states have
done even better. Not q few Of the
suburban villages within an hours
ride of New York city owe their ex-
istence to building associations. Some
of the societies have been managed
with extraordinary business sagacity.
In the yearly report Of one it was no
ticed that single share on which
twenty-five cents week had been
paid had earned in four years twenty
one dollars. That Is, the subscriber
had paid in altogether ffty-two dol
lars, and at the end of four years found
seventy-three dollars standing to hit
credit. If he has chosen to be a Dor
rover rather than a mere investor he
has still profted by his dividends as g
shareholder, and when his accounts
are closed his borrowing has not cost
him more than If he had made an Or
binary mortgage loan, while he has
had the advantage Of long time and
small monthly payments.

in his official character could scarcely
believe that he rode to the door of the
meeting of the Shovelers' Union with
the intention of addressing it, and then.
after hesitating in his carriage a few
minutes. returned home without carry
ing out his purpose. When they came
down town yesterday morning they
asked one another if it could be true.
They discovered that it was, and that
discovery has tended to lose him what
ever respect they could have had for a
weak but possibly well-meaning man.
The Office of Mayor of Indianapolis un-
der the present charter requires a man
who has executive capacity, backbone
and cool judgment. Mr.. Sullivan has
none of these essential qualifications.
Seeking a third nomination, he was led
to believe that to make an address TAX
ing sides with the men whom the police
have been holding in check for three
days would promote his cause. On his
way to make that speech he doubted
the wisdom of such demagOgy and
faltered. He must have forfeited the
regard of the crowd whom he dare not
address, as he has long since of intelli-
gent people generally.

IL 1881 90 27 Chinese came to this
country, and 1864 in 1882. Then the
law prohibiting Chinese immigration
went into force and only 5.370 came dur
ing the rest of the decade. In 1880 the
census showed 105,613 Chinese in this
country, while the. last census showed
107, 475-a gain of only 1862 in the dec
ade in spite of the fact that Gill had
come TO our shores during the ten pre-
ceding years. OF the 1924 Chinese
who were here in 1880 and came during
the succeeding decade, nearly 10000 had
returned to their native country. None
could come after 1892 because of the ex-
clusion law of 1881. That was the law,
with few notifications, which the
Senate passed, but which the House
would not pass, but gave the Senate the
Geary bill. The original exclusion law
was sufficient to keep the Chinese out,
as only 5.370 got in during eight years
of IN
