There is one great good to flow from
the campaign just ended. The Ameri-
than they were upon financial questions
affecting the policies Of nations. The
educational value of the teachings OF
the campaign can scarcely be overesti-
mated. While a great deal of dogma
tism and falsfty was dealt in and to
the confusion of ideas and much to the
perplexity Of the people, nevertheless
the effect Of Il all must be to incline men
to study in the after calm, and to search
out the truth soberly, and in the atmos-
phere of reason.

eyes are large, fine and rather sad in

The Assessor of the City Of Washing
ton has asked the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia to lay tax of 81
a year upon bicycles for use of the pub
lie streets. That is both silly and un-
just. The bicycle should be taxed as
and with all other personal property,
and it is so taxed in this State. To lay
a street tax upon bicycles would carry
with 1t, in justice, tax upon carriages
and buggies also, for use of the streets,
and why not tax on baby carriages and
hand carts for using the streets? All
discriminating taxes of that kind are
unjust

It Is somewhat remarkable that the
committees now at work upon the city
charter with view to correcting its de-
fects, though they have been employed
month and have held four sessions,
have not received from citizens a single
communication upon the subject. The
Inference is that the people are content
to await the report of the committees
and then criticise the results. Perhaps
it is as we'll, since there viii be ample
time in which to do that before the final
submission. So far as examination Of
the proceedings of the committees have
been made public, it would seem that
they are wisely making haste slowly,
and that the very fewest changes pos
sible will be made. Yet if there are rad
ical defects which can be remedied,
there ought to be no false economy prac-
ticed to save space in making the pro-
poSals public. While we are at 1t, let
us get the charter as nearly right as can
be done.

Savings hanks and building Associn-

Savings Banks md building Associn-
tions Not Sufficiently Permanent.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 30.-The American Eco
nomic association this morning took up the
subject of investments, ex-Secretary Fair
child leading the discussion. Mr. Fairchild
quoted statistics, showing the amount of
money held by the savings institutions, and
called attention to the fact that in periods
OF depressions and panics the withdrawal
of this money from the banks was menace
to the business community. He thought
therefore, that greater permanency should
be given to investments of savings and
asserted that in his opinion building asso-
Citations permitted the withdrawal of moneys
invested with them upon too short notice
from the investors.
Prof. Giddings of Columbia gave 1t as his
belief that the growing hostility to the class
usually known as capitalists was perilous to
the business community and to the govern
ment itself.
Prof. Joseph Johnson of the University of
Pennsylvania, Shepard Homans president of
the American Actuaries' association; DR.. G..
w. Farlane of Philadelphia, Thomas l..
Greene of the Manhattan Trust company of
New York and others also spoke.
The session was resumed after 3 p. m,
the subject under discussion being THE
Duty of the Government Toward the In
vestor" The discussion was led by Prof.
Arthur T. Hadley of Yale. Prof. EIldey
was followed by Skipwith Wilmer of Balti-
more, Prof. w. F. Folwell and others
who discussed the several theses in a gen
eral way
The day was ended by a banquet at the

chants and Manufacturers association OF

BAD JOB OF BANK BURGLARS
Almost Within Reach of a Fortune and
Fail. N".'-
ATTACK A VAULT IN AN iowa TOWN
Safe withstnnds Their Efforts Though
Liquid Explosives Are Used
on the Door of the
Cash Box.

NEWTON, Ia, Dec. 30.-(Special Tele-
gram.) .)-Between the hours of 1 and o'clock
this morning the Bank of Sully, at Sully, Ia,
fifteen miles southeast OF here on the Iowa
Central, was entered by three burglars, who
successfully made their way into the vault
and secured S27.75 in pennies and one $40
bill, but were frightened away before they
had effected an entrance to the safe, which
contained more than 100000 in cash. Tools
were taken from a nelghboring blacksmith
shop. The burglars had little difficulty in
reaching the interior of the vault They
then attacked the safe. The hinges were
knocked off and they attempted to demolish
it by means of liquid explosives. Three ex-
plosions followed, but they were not suf-
fcient to open the safe. The first aroused the
cashier of the bank, l.. II. Sherman, who
lives near. He rushed toward the bank,
giving an alarm as he went. His approach
was discovered and the burglars fed, fol-
lowed by five shots from his revolver. His
aim was not effective. The night was in
tensely dark, and, although a posse was inn
mediately formed, the burglars could not be
tracked. The sheriff went from here today
and will continue the pursuit. Suspicion
rests upon strangers, who have been seen
in the neighborhood

Meeting of Tuesday mt Des Moincs
Was Not Harmonious.
DES MONIES Dec. 30.-(Special Tele
gram.)-It leaked out today that the fusion
of Iowa silver forces effected yesterday was
not accomplished without trouble. The fact
that from the opening of the conference
General ]. b. Weaver, populist, was the pre-
dominating spirit in the deliberations dis
turbed the democrats greatly but he could
not be suppressed. When the committee was
named to draft a careful address to the
voters, and General Weaver was made chair
man of the committee, by the influence of
populists and silver republicans, there was
more trouble. Then he was made chairman
Of the subcommittee of three. 1t develops
that the general had an address already
drafted, which he was prepared to spring
on the conference and have 1t adopted at
once. Some of the democrats became sus-
picious that this was his plan, and before
he could present his paper IL was agreed to
let the address wait so II could be given
careful consideration. Now the democrats
are troubled as to how they can suppress
the general, who is expected to be too rad
ical. John S. Murphy of Dubuque is also
on the subcommittee and he is expected to
side with the general. William Connor of
Des Mones is the third committeeman. The
full committee will probably take charge
of the address, and serious disagreement

MANY REOPEN THE PROSECUTION
Trouble Over Pensions I'm the Iowa
Soldiers Home Again.

DIES MONIES, Dec 3O.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-There is trouble among the trustees
of the Soldiers home as a result of the re-
cent prosecutions for holding out pensions
of inmates. When the cases were dismissed
in the federal court, it was on the agreement
that the commissioners would take steps to
petition congress to enact a law to provide
for turning over parts of pensions to in
mates. Now it develops some of the COM
missioners do not want to do this and are
willing that the cases be tried. Colonel G.
L. Godfrey one commissioner is said to
have been appointed by the governor with
the understanding he would move for such
legislation. S. B. Evans of Ottumwa, an
other commissioner, opposes the move and
others agree with him. District Attorney
Fullen declares the cases will be pushed un-
less the agreement is kept.

Cause of David Binl<eIy's Death VIII
lie DiliicmlI 10 determining.

NEW YORK, Dec 30.-An autopsy on the
body Of David Blakely, once managing ed
itor of the st. Paul Globe and city editor of
the St. Paul Pioneer Press, AMI late man
ager of Sousa's band, was held today in the
presence Of representatives of Mrs. Blakely
and the insurance companies which had is
sued policies to Mr.. Blakely's life. Mr..
Blakely died November Z and the dispute
which led to the autopsy is over the ques-
tion whether death was the result OF an ac-
cident sustained some time before or was
due to natural causes. Coroner Tuthill said
after the autopsy that the body was so badly
decomposed that it would be at least six
weeks before the exact causes of his death
could be exactly determined.
