While no great army seems to exist in
Switzerland. the whole able-bodied male
population of the country can readily he
made into an army. The natural defenses
of the country have been utilized TO tho
best advantage, and great care has been
expended upon numerous defensive works
on the frontiers. No canton may have
more than 800 men under arms. If dis
putes arise between cantons they shall alb

District Attorney Burk is one OF those
Democrats in whose mouth the advocacy
of the Popocratic ticket. with all its fads

he yet has frequent rational intervals in
which he speaks his real sentiments. Yes
terday in a group of acquaintances Mr..
Burk was asked why his voice had not as
yet been heard for Bryan and free silver.
Mr.. Burk replied that he had been very
busy and hat he expected 70 take part in

of nearly every town and are a
standing advertisement of lack OF
taste, and show great carelessness
on the part both of the authorities
and the inhabitants. What If a
town is too poor to hire someone to
cart away all the trash. An hours
work by every inhabitant in his
own neighborhood would give us
clean streets. The council should
require the people to keep down the
weeds and remove the trash if they
are too thoughtless to do so without
being required. But by little care
and the cultivation Of a public SEN
timent great deal of the paper and
trash of all kinds would never find
it's way to the streets. Teachers
and parents should frequently eau
ton their children against throwing
paper on the streets. A piece of
paper blowing about the streets is
not only ugly but is responsible for
many runaway.
Another means Of town improve
ment is the repair and painting of
houses, fences and outbuildings.
For the most part this can be done
without any great outlay and is a
great saving as well as a means of
improvement When times are hard
and people are discouraged then
these things are apt to be neglected.
But it is usually the very time when
many people have enough time on
their hands to do these without
much cost. And it is curious to
note how the habit of making things
beautiful spreads. One catches it
from his neighbor until the entire
neighborhood is affected. | will
speak again of the possibility of
other Improvements, such as the
improvement Of streets which might
take place by the co. operation Of
citizens and that without much
outlay in money. Pullman needs
an awakening in this matter Of inn
provement and there is no better
time than now. Let everybody go
to work with a viii at once and in
a few years we will have the most
beautiful town in eastern Wash
ingtOn. E. A. BRYAN.

TOWN IMPROVEMENT.

the fact that it affords a great
amount Of pleasure and comfort to
the inhabitants and renders them
happier and better. There are low
er reasons than this-commercial
reasons, which show themselves in
the price of property, the increase
in population and importance, the
making Of a reputation for the town,
etc. but these are not only lower
but of less Importance. All our
striyings are in the long run to
crafty our wants, to gain happi-
ness, and we too often neglect the
near and obvious means Of securing
this while looking away beyond to
means that are out of our power.
We 90 to the city ana walk with
delight through the beautiful parks,
gay with brilliant flowers which are
all the more brilliant on the back
ground Of dark green sward Or
we admire the mansion of the rich,
and the beautiful lawn with its
well kept shrubbery, ornamental
vines, clean walks and bright
flowers, and we wish that we were
rich that we might enjoy all the
beauty. forgetting meanwhile that
it is not wealth we are admiring
but beauty and proportion and ar
rangement which any one may
have at the expense of little eff
fort A bit of bright green sod,
closely mown, is the handsomest
outdoor decoration any city or town
can possess, and it may be had at
the expense of little labor and a
few cents worth ofwhite clover, blue
grass and red top seed. If your
yard is very large, try small plat
of it first and keep it perfectly, and
| assure you it will give you more
than you imagine pos
sible. If you have rented property
do it anyway. There is no need to
deprive yourself of all this pleasure
through fear that your landlord
may gain by it. And then flowers.
Do you love to see a smile or to
hear the merry laugh of a friend?
Then you will be made happier by
seeing the pure, bright, beautiful
flowers in your dooryard. Are you
weary with labor? Are you heart
sick at unrequited effort? Are you
downcast with business cares?
Nothing can 50 cheer you, so per-
fectly draw your thoughts away
from care and sadness as watching
and caring for these beautiful
plants.
Nothing makes a country town
more attractive than trees. The
lawns should be ornamented with
trees, the streets should be lined
with them. If cared for for a few
years they make a town so inviting
and homelike as to excite admir-
alton and remark from every stran-
ger, to say nothing of the comfort
and pleasure they give to the PEG
pie who live in it. 1t is a public
and private duty of every citizen
to plant and protect trees. The
owner of vacant lots can add to
their value no more surely or quick
ly than by planting trees upon
them. A fine tree often catches the
fancy Of a purchaser and is to be
credited with the sale Of lot.

WHY MARTIN WAS REJECTED.

Chief Justice Martin is admitted on
all hands to be a capable and upright
judge.
Republican state convention on account
of the dissatisfaction with his decision
upon the mortgage redemption law. Or
that occasion unquestionably Judge Mar
tin made a mistake.
The main reason, however, for his de-
feat in his candidacy for denomination
vas because he was a pronounced advo-
cate of the free coinage of silver. Upon
that question he had the honesty and the
holiness frankly to stand by and declare
his convictions. He did not fear to let
it be known he had not changed at the
dictation of the ST Louis convention or of
the gang OF bosses in Kansas.
The fact that he refused to flop from
free silver to the gold standard when the
order was given was a crime which could
not be overlooked. and the Morrill, fac
ton cut him down.
We certainly honor Judge Martin for
uttering his honest opinions so frankly
that nobody could misunderstood. We
prefer such a man rather than the one
who has been in the past loudest in his
declarations in favor of the free and IN
limited coinage by the American mint OF
the entire silver product of the whole
world at the ratio of sixteen to one-and
who now processes to be for a gold basis
only. The one seems to be honest, the
other seems TO be dishonest.-ieaven-

from loss through bank failure. The
government could do this with very
little risk.
Let the governments examination ex-
tend 10 a close scrutiny Of the char
acter as well as the quantity of the
banks assets. Let there be provided a
small bank tax 70 raise a guaranty
fund. and Immediately upon failure
let the government pay the depositors
in full and take charge of the bank S
assets. The tax would be light upon
the banks and the resulting benefit to
them by increased deposits would more
than compensate them for this burden
A moments examination of the gem
eral advantages to be gained ought 20
convince the most obdurate that the
plsn is both desirable and practicable.
To begin with the banks would do a
safer and more conservative business.
The Adventures in banking would be
weeded out, and partly through this
and partly through examination, bank
failures would be rare. Then as the
government stood back of the deposit
ors money, even in times of panic,
would 60 into the banks 10 find It's way
into the channels of commerce and not
he demonetized by private boarding.
The banks would not need to keep an
unusual surplus on hand. to meet a
possible run through lack Of confidence,
for there is nothing that need scare
the depostor under such conditions.
Two things conspire in ''hard times"
to contract the currency, to make idle
money, in other words to demonetize
money. One is that the private owner
of money through fear of loss, if he
invest or deposit his money, boards 1t,
withdraws it from circulation, demone-
ties it: the other is that the banks in
self-defense. in times of financial SIAM
pedes. must be ready to meet any de-
mands that may be made on them by
runs or otherwise. and must keep on
hand a large and unused surplus of
idle and demonetiZed money. 1t is
useless to charge the private owner
of money. or the banks, with desiring
such a condition. Each wants as much
to use his money and get a profit out
of it. as the owner Of houses wants to
have them occupied, that he may col
lect rent. An absolutely safe bank
ing system, that would guarantee de-
Dositcrs from loss, would go a long
way toward preserving business con-
fidence in all commercial communi-
ties. and in preventing individual and
banks from withdrawing money from
the channels of trade.
A national banking system should be
as solid as the nation. Then viii
money seek deposit there, and from
thence find its way into the channels of
trade and avoid safety deposits and
stockings. From a banking system.
thus secure will come benefits to the
banks and the public. And when the
government has a first lien upon all
the property of the bank to reimburse
itself for its guaranty to pay deposit
ors its risk need not be great-in fact
none at all. as by small tax upon the
banks a fund would be provided to
meet all such liabilities.
This proposition is of more import
ance and it deserves more considera-
ton than it now receives.

PROTECT DEpOSIToRS.

There is one thing in reference to
our banking system that deserves more
attention than is accorded il. The
matter is that some plan ought To be
devised whereby depositors are in
snred from loss in ease of bank failure
Banks should he run upon such safe
and secure business principles as TO
make failure practically impossible
National bank examiners should he
able 10 know Just what sort OF security
upon which the banks Were loaning
the money OF depositors. The govern
ment should guarantee the depositor
