POSTAL savings banks may be a
reality before Mckinley goes out of
office. Postmaster General Gary has
been collecting data from all parts of
the world regarding such institutions
and in an interview recently said: IT
am satisfied in my own mind that postal
savings banks will be one of the
features of this administration if we
can inaugurate the system. There has
been opposition from other savings
banks in the past, but I think that has
died out. Most savings institutions
have more money than they want. I
am connected with one in Baltimore
that has required depositors to reduce
their balances to certain amount.
Postoffice savings banks would help
the other banks, and they would con-
stitute one of the greatest incentives
to patriotism. Give a man an interest
in the government and he is pretty
sure to take deeper interest in it,

CHICAGO Record: Wherever postal
savings banks are in operation women
are among the most appreciative
patrons of the system. AS rule
women are more careful of small sums
than men, and seem to have more
practical realization of the value of
such Accommodations. In many families
it is only the foresight of the wife that
leads to provisions being made against
day of adversely. The desire of
women more generally than men is for
a place of absolute safety for their
small savings rather than high rates
of interest. Consequently they are
especially appreciative of the stability
which the postal savings bank affords.
Probably congress could do no other
one thing that would so commend it to
the women of the country as would the
establishment of a postal savings bank
system.

SEEK A DELAY,

= The railroad companies are now try
ing to demonstrate that majorities do
not rule, by attempting to set aside the
verdict of the people in favor of the
taxation of railroad lands. The An
derson law passed blythe legislature Of
1895 aud Endorsed by the people at the
following election is being fought in
the courts at Brainerd, and the princi-
pal grounds upon which it is being
fought appear to be because of defect
i've blanks sent out by the secretary of
state and other technical defects in the
passage of the bill and conduct of the
election. The case will be carried to
the highest courts, and by the time a
final decision is reached the railroad
lands will probably all be disposed of.

Every boy should have his head. his
heart and his hand educated. Let this
truth never be forgotten. By the
proper education of the head he will
be taught what is good and what is
evil; what is right and what is wrong.
BY the proper education of the heart
he will be taught to love what is good,
wise and right, and to hate what is
evil, foolish and wrong. And by
proper education of the hand he will
be enabled to supply his wants, to add
to his comforts, and to assist others.

IF anyone hoped that England would
ever enter an international bimetallic
agreement, the hope must have been
removed when he saw the sentiment of
the English people when the govern
ment bank proposed a slight change.
The London correspondent to the New
York Tribune sums up the matter very
nicely: ''London bankers are not leav-
ing any stone unturned to defeat inter-
national bimetallism. The members
OF the clearing house have emphasized
in every possible way their hostility to
the conversion into silver any portion
of the bank reserve for it's note issue,
A group of members of. parliament
who recently formed a monometallist
committee have warned the chancellor
OF the exchequer that there exists in
the house strong feeling of hostility
to any concessions to the bimetallists
in America and France, and that a
large body of government supporters
will be compelled to vote with the op-
position if the Indian minis are re-
opened or the gold reserve of the Bank
of England tempered with. The Times
is also making dead set against BIZ
metallism, returning to the attack
every few days with renewed energy
and bitterness. The Economist rein
forces it on the same lines to-day, cen
surfing the recent action of the gov
ernor of the bank. Only ministry Of
exceptional courage could hope to defy
the financial opinions of the CITY. and
the present government has not been
conspic uous for fortitude or inflexible
purpose. The answer which the gov
eminent will give to the bimetallist
proposals is still in doubt since the adj
vice which has been received from
India is unknown, but it is probable
that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach will con-
vince his cabinet associates that mac
ton is the safest policy

Louisville's labor parade on Labor
Day furnishes an interesting item.
There was to be division assigned to
"the unemployed" but when the day
arrived that division had not a single

everybody being employed, or to de-
sire on the unemployed not to make a
public exhibition of the fact, We are
not told, but the hint is there are very
few idle hands in Louisville. The

Resolutions DenyinE That the Senator Ii Un.
just TO His Workmen.

CIEvELAND, o., Oct. 6.-The street railway
employees Of Senator Hanna to the number of
800 met last night to refute the charge that the
Senator is a labor crusher." A committee,
composed Of six Democrats and six Republicans,
was appointed to draw up resolutions. as follows:
1--WE. the employees of the Cleveland City
Street Railway Company, recognizing the fact
that sundry unfair and unjust statements have
been made and published relative to the treat
ment accorded to labor and labor ORGANIZATIONS
by the Hon. NJ. A. Hanna, President OF this
company, take pleasure in stating:
Il. That we have been for many years in his
employ, and therefore feel that we are entitled
to judge of his real attitude toward his EN-
ployees;
courteous. and just to those in his employ, we
desire to 80 testify.
-. That in the many years in which he has
been the head OF this organization we have
always found him kind. cordial, and frank in
his treatment OF US; always accessible to those
who desired to present suggestions, complaints.
and grievances; always willing to listen to
statements of individuals or delegations of his
practicable. any conditions which they deemed
unsatisfdctory; and as a result the employees
Of this company have never found 1t ne essary
or advisable to resort to strikes or concerted
details OF service, or wages, or TO enter upon the
formations of organizations having such end in
view. Mr.. HaEna's treatment of all those en-
ployed in operation OF his road during the fifteen
been such that we feel 1t O pleasure to testify to
his admirable qualities as an employer. and also
feel warranted in denouncing AS untrue, unjust,
and malicious the charges that have been made
toward labor generally.

and faculty were the objects Of his attack, and
insisted that they mcrited all he had said in the

In consequence another attack was made on
him this AFTERNOON. and he was severely beat n.
The persons attacking Brann were J. b. Scar
borough, attorney and u trustee OF Baylor Uni
versity; George Scarborough. son Of J. Il. Scar
borough, and X. II. Hamilton. another Baylor
student.
They seized Brann in the Provident building.
took him to the middle OF the street. and beat
him with a cane and a buggy whip. 1t was
done before the police could interfere.
The assailants were promptly arrested and re-
fused to give bond for forcibly and illegally re-
straining Braun of his liberty and for agra
waited assault.
Prosecution was also instituted against George
Scarborough. Charles Carroll, Carroll LovelRce,
and R.H Hamilton, the four students who hauled
