POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

l have correspondent with q large
number of Congressman concerning
the need OF Postal Savings B snks, stat
ing that practically all d rest of the
civIliz9d world has them, and put the
question, why should we mt have
them2" In reply, Congressman w.
". Bowers, OF SIN Diego, Cal, in
closes his Postal Savings Bill" which
he says has been pending in Congress
for four years, and be writes: The
bankers and sharks don't want any
Postal Savings system. That's the
answer to your Why not?'"
In England these institutions were
established in 1861; in Canada, in 1868;
in Austria Hungary, in 1888; and they
have also been established in France,
Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Ger
many, Italy. Norway, Sweden, Swi:zer
land, India, Ceylon, Finland, Japan,
Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and
Trinidad. But, doctors of the United
States of America, you and your cl:-
ents can't have them, because TIE
bankers don't want them!" Mer-
chants, you can't have them, because
the bankers don't want theml Farm
ers, you can't have them, because the
bankers don't want them! Mechanics,
you can't have Postal Savings Banks
in which to place securely your say

must deposit with their institutions, it

you desire the benefit these institutions
would be to the masses of the people
and to the government, you can't have
them because the private bankers
don't want you to have them. How
do you like it, What are you going to
do about lt7 This is a free country
for the bankers and other privileged
classes; if they think Postal Savings
Banks would be against their personal
interests, they car prevent the people
from having them!
These institutions would place q
Savings Bank with absolute security
within the easy reach of every citizen
of this great country. How it would
benefit the people and you, doctor, is
so apparent that it need not be ex
planned. Rich men put their spare
money in u S. bonds for safety and

bring the people Of the entire nation
closer together now than we're the PEG
pie of a single State then. Our devel
opment is rapid, and our needs often
urgent. Why should we cling to the
cid stage, coach methodist No other
nation is so slow in it's political action.
In England a political compaign sci
dom lasts more that six weeks-g9ner
ally much less. Here campaigns
last about six months. In England
the new Parliament begins it's work
soon after election. France and Ger
many are about as prompt. Here,
even after u long campaigns, our
new Congresses seldom convene
until over a year after election.
! Oar Revolutionary fathers could not
foreeee such wonderful develop
ments as railroads and the telc-
graph, SO could not be expected to pro-
vide for the same. All must agree that
the dates that have governed US since
the early time should be changed.
December is a very bad time for the
converting of Congress. Nothing Of a
Legislative nature is ever accomplished
before &C )urnment for the holidays.
Congress should meet either long
enough before the holidays for IF
tie work, or it should not meet until
after the holidays-s1y either Novem
Der 1 or January 10, There is no spe-
cial reason why the elections should be
IN Novt mber. The first Of October
would be a better time. And there
should be no short sessions Of the old
Congress after the new Congress has
been elected. Suppose we have the
election the first Tuesday in October,
and the meeting Of the new Congress
the first Tuesday in the following
month-November. That would give
time for all honest political autonomy,
and in cas- of a contest, the evidence
could come up and a decision be
reached while the facts are fresh.
Any Z of every party can see how
desirable these changes are. Then
there are other changes. Every Con
gresham ought to have a string to
him" that is, his constituents should
have the right to recau him If he does
not give satisfaction. This recalling
could be done by a petition signed by a
N )rity Of the voters of his district.

Committee. Asserts That the Nebraska
Orator Is Elected.
CHICAGO, Nov 4-The returns received
by the Associated Press up to midnight
indicate the probable election of Mckin-
Icy and Hobart, although returns are so
meagre from u number Of doubtful states
that this conclusion can only be reached
by an estimate based upon the gains and
losses. The bost estimates obtainablo in
dictate that Maine and Vermont have
given majorities somewhat reduced from
the September elections; that New Hamp-
shire gives about 10000, Massachusetts
about 10000 and Rhode Island and Con-
necticut by proportionate majOrities, all
for Mckinley. New York is estimated at
above 100000 and Pennsylvania reaches
a68, $50.
Maryland has been carried for the Re-
publican candidate for president by a ma
jority exceeding 10000, and Delaware is
confidently claimed by both, apparently
in dispute although the plurality is not
likely to exceed 1000.
The returns from West Virginia are not
sufficient to Justify the claim of either
party. Ohio has given a very large Re-
publican plurality, and Kentucky is APP
parently assured to the Mckinley column,
although later returns may not justify
this claim. Tennessee seems to have been
carried for Bryan, Notwithstanding the
confidential assertions to the contrary of
the Republican managers, and the same
is probably true of North Carolina H.
diana and Michigan, as we'll as Minne-
sofa, indicate heavy Republican gains
and strong probability that they have
gone for Mckinley. Illinois will give
Mckinley over 100000 plurality, and Ne
braska and North and South Dakota are
very close and still in doubt. Wyoming
seems to have gone for Mckinley.
The returns from the Pacific coast states
are too mcagre to justify any claim re-
specting them. The states Of Virginia,
South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, AL
ALBANIA, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri,
Colorado, Nevada, Montana and Idaho
may safely be placed in the Bryan column.
Inc returns IRON Kansas ana IeIas are
scattering and indicate nothing, although
heavy Republican gains are reported from
Dallas and Galveston.
This morning Chairman Jones gave out
the following signed statement;
"There is no foundation for the claims
Of the Republicans. There Is at this time
no reason to think that any one Of the
states claimed by me for Mr., Bryan has
failed to vote for him. While misleading
reports are being sent out in all directions,
private advices assure us that each one Of
these states has gone for Mr.. Bryan. The
most extravagant claims rs to Kentucky
and Indiana have been telegraphed all
over the country, while in the last few
minutes our committees assure us that
both are safe for us. Mr.. Bryan is ccr-
tainly elected"

are that the state Of Nebraska on the pres

Seventy three precincts outside of Omaha
and Lincoln give Mckinley 10,OOS; Bryan,
$500.
Both candidates made big gains over the
vote of 1894 The gains about offset one
another, however In the larger towns Of
the state Mckinley led Bryan, but In the
smaller villages Bryan slightly led.
On the theory that Bryan carried the
farmer vote tho present situation is favor
able to him, since no returns Of import
ance have yet been received
The Fifth ward of Lincoln gives Nc
Kinley S13 and Bryan GA. At Democratic
headquarters 1t Is claimed that Mckinley
will carry the city Of Lincoln by not more
than 600 but they say they will be offset
in other parts Of the county, and chances
are that Bryan will carry Lancaster
county.
At midnight Chairman Post, of the Re-
publican state COMMITTEE claimed the
state of Nebraska for Mckinley by ma
jority of from 1000 to 5000. 1--WE have"
no said, received very scattering returns,
and it is impossible to give anything like
accurate figures. Complete returns have
been received from only eighty-flve pre-
cincts in the state and we have neither
footed up the totals or made comparisons
on them. The returns however, indicate
gains sufficient to warrant the claim l
have made"
Telegraphic advices to Mr.. Bryan say
that Saline county is conceded to Bryan
by the Republicans by majority of 800;
that Crete gives Bryan 337 to 356 for Nc
klnley. Grant, Bryan, 247; Mckinley,

Chairman Manahan, of the Lancaster
county Democratic committee, predicts
10000 Democratic ma jority and says he is
supported in this claim by the fusion state
chairman. He says the Lincoln majority
is u loss to the Republicans of 1900, and
that the full returns from the county pre-
cincts outside the city will reduce Nc
Kinley's majority to about 800 Manahan
expresses the belief that the fusionists
will elect all six Of the congressman from
Nebraska. He asserts that Brady is Ger
