sav1n gs bank or building and loan asso-
citation. 1t may be urged also that, no
matter what its effsct upon savings banks
may be, II safer place can lie furnished
for the deposit of the earnings of the
laboring man, it ought to be furnished.
Safety is doubtless of the highest import
ance, and if the postal savings bank were
going to supersede institutions which
were attended with any considerable
amount of risk, other considerations
should not stand in the way of its crea-
ton. But the savings banks as now
conducted in the East are attended with
very lnconsiderable risk of loss to the
depositor. Certainly the danger of loss is
not serious enough to call for their abol-
ishment, and the substitution of another
1lnd OF institution regardless of all other
considerations.
Inc whole value of the savings
bank to the laboring man does not
consist in keeping his aecumulations
safely That is an important part, but
by no means the whole. A savings bank
ought to, and will If properly conducted,
tors in making accumulations. That is
to say, it will as far forth as is consist.
emit with safety, invest its money in home
enterprises, which will furnish work for
the workingmen who are depositors in it.
through the savings bank the working
men of community become co-opera-
| tors. They help one another, and they get
h0J of Of mid
and financial training. We're it not for
the assistance of our local savings banks
many enterprises which have been of in
calculable benefit to the masses could
never have been undertaken. These banks
create reservoirs of capital through our
State, which are available to help build
up enterprises in which the people are
employed. The danger of the postal sa-
wings bank is that it will gradually draw
of these reservoirs to the West and
South, and leave us with little accumu-
lated capital for enterprise to draw on.
Summed up briefly, the local savings
bank tends to keep money at home and
thus to promote home enterprises. The
postal savings bank-so far as it's effect
on Maine is concerned-will tend to send
! it away to other parts of the country, and
in consequence to cripple home industry.
The slight additional security the postal
savings bank would give to the Maine
workingman's accumulations, would be
more than offset by the tendency to in
| vest them where he would get no benefit
| from them in the shape of opportunity to
labor. as he does now. Hence il the postal
local savings banks, it would be injurious
| to our people as Bank Examiner Timber
| lake holds.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

sIn remembrance of Gods goodness to
us during the past year which has been
so abundant let US offer unto Him our
Thanksgiving and pay our vows unto the
Most High. Under His watchful provi-
dence industry has prospered, the con-
ditions OF labor have been improved, the
rewards of the husbandman have been in
creased and the oOmfors of our home null
tsplied. His mighty hand has preserved
peace and protected the nation. Respect
for law and order has been strengthened,
love of free institutions cherished and all
sections of our beloved country brought
into closer bonds of fraternal regard and
generous cooperation.
For these great benefits, it is our duty
to praise the Lord in spirit OF humility
and gratitude and to offer up to Him our
most earnest supplications. That we
may acknowledge our obligations as q
people to Him, who has SO graciously
granted US the blessings of free govern
ment and material prosperity, l, William
Mckinley, President of the United
States, do hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the TweDty-fifth Day Of
November
3 for national Thanksgiving and prayer,
which all of the people are invited to OBJ
serve with appropriate religious services
in their respective places of worship.
On this day of rejoicing and domestic
reunion, let our prayers ascend to the
Giver of every good and perfect gift for
the continuance of His love and favor to
US that our hearts may be filed with
charity and good will, and that we may
be ever worthy of His benefcent concern
In witness whereof, have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this TWEEN

ence Of the United States the one hun

Upon the 1nerest pretext of taking meas
ures for reparation for the murder OF
German missionaries. Germany not long
since took possession Of portion of the
territory belonging to the Celestial King
dom in the Shan Tung Peninsula. The
movement at the time was viewed in di-
plomatic circles as O means adopted by
Germany to secure permanent foothold
i'll the East and late events would seem tn
confirm the suspicion, for the German
Government now considers the land &C.
cupied by its forces in the Shan-Tun
peninsula to be insufficient for naval
station and proposes to enlarge its hold
ings, despite the fact that such action has
met with the earnest protestations of China
accompanied with the request that Ger
many withdraw the troops already landed
there. Russia's aid has been sought and it
remains to be seen whether China's repre-
sensations to her will bring about the
needed pressure on Germany which will
result in Observation-Disclosures of her troops
from the land in question. Obviously
Germany went there with the intention
to remain.

POSTAL BANKS AND SAVINGS BANKS.

If Bank Examiner Timberlake's as
sumption be true that money deposited in
postal savings banks will either be CEN
tralized at Washington by investment in
government securities, or will flow large
IL to the West and South, then certainly
his conclusion that the effect of such
banks will to be unfavorable to the East is
correct. OF course it may be said that
depositors would not necessarily select
the postal bank in preference to
the savings bank, or the building and
loan association, but the trend would
undoubtedly be in that direction since it
would be generally felt that money depos-
tied with the national government would
be safer than when instructed to any
private or semi-p-iyate concern, like a

The election in the Sixth Illinois dis
trict for successor to the late Congress
man Cooke came near being a Republic
can defeat simply because more
thar half of the Republican voters of the
district did not take the trouble to go to
the polls. AS the district is usually
strongly Republican, a large percentage
of the Republican voters seem to have
taken it for granted that the Republican
candidate would be successful and
SO did not bother themselves.
