II there is one thing more dlsccrnable
than another in the signs of the times, II
is that tie day of newspaper organs is
past. The people now clamor for news

transpire. and outside of religious papers,
the paper that dcvotos itself TO the ac-
ouirement of one line Of information, and
the pursuit of one distinct and settled
purpose is counting a precarous exist

For five years the Virginia Sun has
devoted itself to the PRONUNCIATION OF
Populism. and given its energies TO the
fostering OF the Populists cause and

THE GOOD OF SAVINGS BANKS.

In his recent interview in The Times.
MIR. Edward Atkinson stated that the
people OF Massachusetts, have on deposit
in the various savings banks Of the
State the snug sum Of $i5o.O00000. which
fact is in demonstration Of the thrift
Of the New England people. And that
is something in which the Southern
people are lacking. They do not save.
They do not heed the injunction. Take
care Of the pennies. and the dollars viii
take care Of themselves"
That there are many savings banks in
Massachusetts Is due to the fact that
there is a demand for them; but. on the
other hand savings banks DO much to-
wards the cultivation Of the habit OF
thrift.
The function Of savings banks is thus
described by distinguished French
writer:
1T is the savings bank which has
taught the workman Of France how he
can become capitalist in moderating his
consumption TO bring ii within his pro-
duction. and in amassing the excess,
called savings. in a fruitful place, In
complete security: from the bank he
leans how capital is formed, and how
it can be produced. The savings bank
is. i'm fact, a school. which seems to be
created for the apprenticeship OF indus
trial business. 1t teaches man TO
govern himself, 10 resist bad or useless
impulses. and so aids in building up
sound discretion, which is the first sue
cess in life"
There Is good sense in this. In one
sense, I bank account is a means OF
grace. once a man gets nest-esg
in bank. he is careful 10 save the
nickcls and dimes that he might other
wise waste in liquor or other vicious
indulgences. lie thus grows up to be
a sober, industrious citizen, with habits
Of thrift and economy. and he takes a
more lively interest in the financial wei
fare Of the community in which he lives.
He feels his importance. and he be-
comes the champion Of good government
and national integrity.
The man who has balance in saw
ings bank to his credit. and who has
watched the deposit grow from year TO
year. is the friend Of banks, and the
advocate of the best barking system.
1t is the man who saves nothing that is
most loud-mouthod in his dcnunciation
Of banks and money-lenders.
There are several good savings banks
in Richmond. and we could wish moth
ing better for the business welfare Of
Richmond than that all the people should
patronize them. We would advise pa
rents especially to have their children
open an account at a savings bank not
simply as a means OF saving money, but
as a means. as We have explained, OF
cultivating habits OF sobriety, THRIFT, and
economy. which are essential to we'll
rounded character.
The ideal community IS n community
Of home-owners, and The boy who be-
gins in early life to save his surplus
earnings is almost sure to own his home
when he grows up to be a man.
