sorry spectacle is being presented in
the United Statessssnate. 1t has been the
habit Of the AmeEesn people to regard with
pride, az well asSYnh distinct feeling OF
confidence and reinsurance, the upper house

associated in ourvtJ.Dtght and speech with
the most exalted c3{ception of personal dig
nifty and patriotic I@evotion. But what a
mortifying change Aas recently occurred
The senate of tbe eaton is today in the

Banks for the People.

In the Washington correspondence OF the
Record last Saturday attention was called
to the agitation for the establishment of a
system of postal savings banks in this coun-
try and figures were given which show the
success and popularity Of the system in
other countries where 1t is in operation.
The establishment OF postal savings banks
in this country would be a great stimulus
for saving 10 many people Of small incomes.
Many are suspicious Of banks, and many of
those institutions will not take the money OF
the small deposltors. anyway. There would
be full confidence and trust in government

The chief objection urged by Supern-
tendent Pearse against the plan to re-
arrange the teachers salary schedule
upon a classification based ON merit is
that 1t would devolve upon him the UNI

would no doubt be thankless task, yet
It ought not to stand in the way of the
proposed change II 1t promises better

We welcome our esteemed contemporary
the Tribune, to active membership in the
Anti-Yellow Dog league, which, in response
to the suggestion of the mes-Herald, has
sprung up in this state. Referring to the
republican love feast about to be held at
Springfield the Tribune warns the state
central committee against snap conventions
and efforts to hamper the independence of
delegates to the national convention in the
interest Of either favorite sons or "the un-
known presidential preferences of the
BOSSES" The Tribune then has these preg-
nEnt and timely words to say:
"And finally it is also rumored that some
thing will be done In the way Of fixing up
state ticket. The ixers must be careful
not to make it a yellow dog one. This Is
not going to be a good year for those
animals On the state ticket. Bosses, de-
ceved by the tidal wave successes of 1894,
may think any cur will safely do to run in

yellow dog candidates will not only run far
be hind their ticket but they may cause so
The safe rule Is to nominate on the hy-
pothesis that the contest will be close. and
that only popular men can be elected. Take
no chances that unpopular men may be
pulled through. Gamblers may play that
game, but prudent politicians do not"
Well and truly spoken Nothing could
add to the pertinence and Significance cf

ceived by the tidal wave majorites of 1891,
