In his address before the Indiana bankers
yesterday, United States Bank Examiner
Caldwell took decided ground against gov
eminent postal savings banks, and gave
strong reasons for his position. Among
these are the difficulty of making safe
investment of money which might be de-
posted with the government, and also the
difficulty of securing safe management
Fancy, if you can" said Mr.. Caldwell,
'the 7036O postmasters, and especially the
G6,725 Of the fourth-class in the sparsely
settled districts, receiving deposits and act
ing as advisers to Uncle Samuel in the
matter of investments in farm mortgages
and local securities" Furthermore, fancy,
if you can, the additional embarrassment
that would follow from the changing of
80, 600 or $4,000 of these custodians every
four or eight years The truth is. there is
no popular demand, and little or no room
for postal savings banks in the United
States. The entire field is well occupied
with savings institutions of different
class.

asked that the defendants be required to
show what amount of money or other prop
erty has been realized by j. PierpOnt Nor

ton of the assets of the railway company
and in whose possession these proceeds are

that orders of the court may be issued
making persons or corporations winch nave

part of such assets of property, parties to
the suit.

The Journal offices were yesterday re-
moved to the new and beautiful building
constructed for its use on the southwest
segment of Monument Place, where the pa
per will make its permanent home. This
building is believed to be as complete and
thorough in the appointments necessary to
the production of daily newspaper as any
structure ever designed for a similar pur-
pose, and persons who have inspected the
building and its appliances and who are
qualified to speak intelligently, express the
opinion that it would be difficult to devise
a more suitable structure. The Journal is
not at present prepared to receive it's
friends in it's new quarters, but in the
course of a few days-due announcement
of the date will be made-when it's machin-
cry and furniture have been put in place
and everything is working smoothly they
will be invited to call and view the various

Quarrels between medical men are apt to
be very personal but the charge brought
by DR.. Hamilton, former surgeon general
of the United States Marine Hospital Serv-

of more serious import than any personal

TAXABLE PROPERTY IN INDIANA
AND ILLINOIS.

The following appeared in the city col
umns of the Journal yesterday:
Some of the state officials who have COM
pared the Indiana tax figures with those of
Illinois, have discovered that, although the
population of that State is nearly double
that of Indiana, the amount of taxable
property in this State exceeds the amount
in Illinois by $472, 512,093 The total assess
ment in illinois in 1896 was $S16, $40, while
that of Indiana in 1897 was 81, 2S9. 191, 713 The
state officers say that the excess in Indiana
is caused by the fact that in Indiana little
property escapes taxation, the railroads be-
ing compelled to pay their full share
Without some explanation this may be
misleading. The actual population of In
diana by the census of 1890 was 2,192, 404,
and that of Illinois was 1896 451. The esti-
mated population of the two States in 1897,
made by their respective Governors for a
political almanac was: Indiana, $500, GOO,
and Illinois, 4,919,51O. The disparity be-
tween the estimated population IN 1897 is so
much greater than that between the actual
populations in 1890 as to suggest that the
Governor of Illinois is a much more liberal
may have drawn some inspiration from
Chicago. The population of Illinois lacks a
good deal of being double that of Indiana,
as the census of 1900 will show.
The difference between the assessment of
property in the two States for taxation is
largely due to a difference in the basis OF
valuation. 1t would be a serious mistake
to infer that the actual amount of taxable
property in this State exceeds that in Hill
nois, which is undoubtedly the richer State
of the two it is much the larger terri
torially and the more populous. The diff
ference in the assessments for taxation is
largely due to the fact that the law in this
State requires that real estate. including
lands and improvements and buildings
thereon, shall be valued by the assessor
price they would bring at a fair, voluntary
private sale, not a forced or sheriff's sale. .
This is the correct basis of assessing prop
erty for taxation, its operation being that
as the assessment increases, the rate of
taxation may be reduced. The effect of the
law in this State has been to greatly in
crease the assessment, as no doubt SINH
lar law would in Illinois. 1t is probably
true that corporations pay more taxes in
this State than they do in Illinois, owing to
the more searching character of our tax
law, but the difference in the assessment of
the two States is mainly due to the differ
ent rule of assessing real estate.

Controller of the Currency Eckels has
said many true things concerning financial
and monetary matters, but nothing truer
than the statement that this failure (of
the bimetallic commission). coupled with
the. change of nations from a silver stand
ard to a single gold one demonstrates that
the trend is inevitably toward a universal
acceptance of the gold standard" This is
an application of philosophy to finance. 1t
is a recognition of the fact that the deca-
dence and discarding Of silver as a stand
ard OF value is as strictly in accordance
with the law Of evolution as the substitu-
ton OF friction matches for the old flint
box or the electric light for coal oil and gas.
The commercial world will not turn back
wards in it's progressive march to accom-
modate the owners OF silver mines.

Ministerial Relief Board.

The morning session of the missionary
convention was largely devoted to the de-
livery of reports that were published in
yesterdays Journal. B. C. Hagerman, of
Bethany, W. Va, began the session with
a short Bible essay entitled, "Bible Exam
pies of Missions and Missionaries" Jabez
Hall followed with an address entitled Our
Plea to American Christianity" which was
well conceived and much appreciated by
the convention. A NJ. Atkinson OF Wabash,
then gave a talk on Ministerial Relief"
Mr.. Atkinson is corresponding secretary of
the ministerial relief board He said that it
would be a lasting disgrace not to take
care of the old ministers who had devoted
their lives to ChriSt's cause. He said that
his association was not a charitable organi-
cation, as It's work was the paying of
debt that the church owes TO its worthy
ministry. Continuing. he said: THE church
that dOleS out charity TO wOrn-Out minis
tiers deserves the intensest contempt. These
old men have been working on half-pay all
of their lives. What class of people give
more than the ministers. and they are now
the sufferers? Why should the church not
take care of and pension its worn-out min
out servants
