This version of the Franco-Russian
concord virtually agrees with prior
French accounts that President Faure
had written, at the cars dictarion, two
additional clauses to pre-existent
treaty" and also with the German
statement that NO treaty Of alliance eX-
lists between the republic and the car
dom. Technically speaking, the German
official description of the accord was
correct. A military convention recorded
in a protocol is not treaty. But there
was a good and sufficient reason for
putting the agreement in mat form. A
regular treaty would have required rail-
fication by the legislative power in
France, and consequently the publica-
ton of an agreement, the details of
which it is the interest Of the parties
thereto 10 keep secret. The car in his
toast on board the Pothuau rightly re-
ferred to France and Russia as "allied
nations" Since the foregoing version
Of the character of the Franco Russian
compact agrees with all of the official
and semi-official utterances concerning
the same il would be strange if it should
not be practically a true outline OF the
agreement. France and Russia seem
TO be at least as firmly allied as are the
powers of the Dreibund.

A GRAIN rate war is threatened.
The Memphis road and also the Pitts
burg & Gulf road have been making a
rate of fifteen cents from Kansas City
to the gulf. This naturally diverts
quite a portion to that channel and the
Eastern roads are cutting to that figure.
Thus they will haul from Kansas City
to the Atlantic sea board for about the
toll they ask from middle or western
Kansas to Kansas City. However
while the war lasts perhaps the Kansas
farmer may get some small measure of
what is his due.

FOR SAFETY IN DEPOSITS.


Those who read and make any at
tempt at keeping up with the times
know that strong wave of public opin-
ion is sweeping oyer the country in IA
vOr of the establishment o! postal saw
ings banks. The Topeka Mail and
Breeze sent out a circular letter to the
bankers of the State asking whether
they favor the system and for an ex-
preston of their reasons for their Opin-
ions for or against. Replies were re-
ceived from over sixty, and OF these all
but two are opposed. They are inter
esting to read, some Of them for their
ignorance and palpable prejudice, and
some because of their good sense and
instruction.
Mr.. E. l.. Meyer, president of the
FIRST National Bank of this city, is one
of the two who favor the enterprise but
he appears to contemplate the estab
lishment of savings banks in this State
under the laws of the State rather than
a comprehensive postal system. He
says:
~ do not know Of anything that
would contribute more to the welfare
of the people in general than postal saw
ings banks. hope the day is not tar
distant when our State will pass a law
Incorporating savings banks under such
wise provisions as are now made by
Massachusetts, and New York for the
protection Of depOsitors. have great
confidence that the wealth of the State
is sufficient to enable the people of our
State to carry their own indebtedness.
There is a large amount of unemployed
capital in the hands of the people. For
this reason l believe that the West
needs savings banks. 1t teaches the
people economy and brings prosperity.
Yours truly" E. L. MEYER, Pres.
A number give as their only reason
for opposing the system that "the gov
eminent should go out of the banking
business" but a communication from
Banker Smith of Sterling is interesting.
Smith is a free silver republican, and
while he acknowledges the need of safe
deposit, for the people, he would &C
complish it in another way. He OPP
poses the proposed bills mainly for the
reason that the funds deposited would
be taken from the channels of trade
and the money volume would in con-
sequence be crrtailed. This appears to
be valid objection. However in most
of the bills it is provided that the funds
shall be invested in securities of various
descriptions and it might be urged that
savings thus invested would displace a
like quantity of some one else's money
which would naturally seek profit in
industry.
Mr.. Smiths plan for securing safety
for depOsitors, is by taxing the banks
on their debOsits for the establishment
of reserve fund to pay losses by failure
on the plan urged by the GAZETTE
heretofore. This could be done by the
State without waiting for the action of
the machinery Of the general govern.
ment to be put in motion. The oppo-
sition Of most of the bankers may be
explained by the fact that they think 1t
would interfere with their interests.
