In Ohio Bryan got $4,000 more

the choice of tho ruling party in The

result will be declared in joint SEES

Mr. Harris was brought into pub
lie view by the Farmers Alliance.
Pre- ionsly he was Democrat. A
Virginian by birth. he was at the
Virginia Military Institute, pupil
of "Stonewall' Jackson, when the
war broke out. He was only nine.
teen yeors old, but he enlists on the
side of the COME lerucy and befol c

in the wal he was captured by the

where he was paroled. He went to
Kansas and became a civil engineer

sas Pacific railroad. now palt of
tue Uuion Pacific, and then became
resident engineer at Lawrence. In
lS6S he settled on farm, which he
named "Linwood;' on ihe Union
Pacific, 81 miles west of Kansas
City.
II is somewhat curious that a
former ',rtbel colonel" should be re
turned to the United States Senate
from Kansas, and that his term will
be in what il known as the '.Ponleroy

It does rot take much to incite the Spanish to wrathful remarks. Ex- Minister Taylor's recent article lon Spain and Cuba, in an American mag azina is now the subject of heated discussion among Spanish newspa- pers Just what the Spanish would do to Mir Taylor if he were now in Spain, would be difficult to define, but he is doubtless much better off on this side of the water. The Spanish newspapers are making capital out of the article and they are placing the worst possible construction upon it..

J. R. Sovereign, the Knigh,s of La bor leader, aspires to be president in 1900. It is stated that he resigned his position in that order to push his can didacy. Doubtless MT. Sovereign will have a large following, but not sui ficient to make him a formidable can didate. It requires something else be- sides mere demagogy to win votes. The American laboring man is unusu- ally discriminating when it comes to electing a president of the United States. Sovereign will be an opponent of MT. Bryan, and will cause that gen. tleman much uneasin ess between now and 1900. Between the two there is little choice, and it is safe to say that neither will be nominated as can- didate on the democratic ticket.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Postmaster General Gary makes the most prominent feature of his an- nual report the recommendation to establish the postal savings bank system in this country. No prcposi- tion that has come before the people of late years has received such a general support, such a hearty appro- val from all parties and from all so1rs and conditions of men as this of es- tablishing postal savings banks.
 Great Britain, France, Italy, Aus tria, Holland, Belgium and various British colonies, have long had postal savings banks, to the great satisfac- tion of their people. The United as much as any nation on earth, and should no longer delay their estab lishment. From the recent report of the English postmaster general it ap- ing year of the twenty-two that have elapsed since the savings baek WAS inaugurated shown decided in se in the volume of business but that the system is rapidly becoming all but universal, as nations one by one are beginning to appreciate its great merit as an encourageme t to jh ijt patriotism and industry
 Not only is it desirable to place every incentive toward saving before Individuals of a nation for their own sake, but also for the ultimate benefit of the nation itself; the gain to wh: ca universally admitted that the won- de1ful and unprecedented recovery ol the French nation from it's financial embarrassment was due mostly to the number and amount of the small hoardings of the small farmers and peasants whose depository was some dark corner of the cottage, a constant source of anxiety, and productive oi no interest. But the French govern ment has in the last two years pro- vided a secure place of deposit by es- tablishing postal bank; so, also, has Austria, where the emperor made the first deposit on the first day of this year.
 As the New York World says, the argument is complete in favor of the postal savings bank proposal which is ito be brought forward early in the next session of congress.
 A postal savings bank will promote thrift everywhere. It will make of a multitude, of citizens investors in a national institution. It will there fore stimulate the national spirit breed patriotism and establish a near ly universal interest in the dntegrity and prosperity of the. nation and in the soumlness of its monetary system
