. The Chicago Record has prepared a
postal savings bank bill, which will
undoubtedly be introduced in congress
next month. The idea is good one,
and in general way will meet with
the approval Of adherents of every po-
litical party. The bill as drafted has
some faults, however, which will I'M
doubtedly be remedied in congress. AS
it now reads it fixes a limit on indi-
vidual deposits, and also fixes a time
limit on Withdrawals. These defects
will undoubtedly be remedied by
amendments allowing the depositor
limitless account, together with the
privilege of checking out whenever ne
pleases. Another defective provision
allows the postofice department to re-
loan TO national banks and on state
and municipal Improvement bonds.
This section will probably be amended
with the provision that no money shall
be loaned on bonds bearing date pre-
-vious to passage Of said bill, and that
all bonds shall! he for improvements
made after such bill becomes law.
With these amendments the bill would
undoubtedly give general satisfaction.

Since 1868, or during the last twenty
nine years, Cuba has been in open re-
volt nearly thirteen years. The ten
years war was very costly in blood
and treasure, both to the mother coun-
try and to the island, and there had
not been great recovery from its raw
ages when the present Instruction
broke out in February, 1895. Since
the last uprising the Spanish govern
ment has sent to Havana more than
100000 men, the flower of the youth
and chivalry Of the nation. OF these
it is admitted more than $4,000 have
been killed in battle or disease, and it
is probable that the number is nearly
double that. Nearly half as many
more have been sent back to Spain
crippled by wounds or broken by dis
ease, to be burdens upon the communi-
ties in which they live.

Up to the time of this writing, the
yellow fever outbreak in cities near
the Gulf of Mexico has been less dis
astrous than on any other occasion Of
the coming of that plague. The death
rate has been low, and in the larger
cities there has been no panic. It
would be interesting to know how far
this mitigation of horrors is the result
Of the sensible course pursued by the
authorities and the newspapers. APP
parently the precise facts have been
given out each day, with such COM
ments as the situation warranted, and
the people have calmly and heroically
faced the danger whereof they knew.
Secrecy might have caused universal
panic; and the panic is one of the most
nourishing conditions of the Plague.

hook to run down" thieves, and after
varied and fruitless experiences in
Council Bluffs, Superior and Buffalo,

Annie Besant discovers that the
women of this country are too restless,
and that it is a natural result of their
growing superiority to the American
man. Apparently restlessness, in her
view, in an affection; but the cure Of
it, through some process looking to in
feriority, is not to be thought Of for
a moment. The man must do his
share. He must make it the chief OBJ
ject of his life to grow up to her SUI
periority, and it is melancholy to re-
fleet that on the whole he can't do it.
