WHAT were some OF those re-
marks that were heralded around
from Propocratic stump to stump
last year, to the effect tha4 our
currency was SO limited and con-
tracted that we could not do bust
ness, and that the only hope for a
return to prosperity was thought
the free coinage of silver at 16 to
/? 1t is quite evident to observant
men that some of these Popocrats
we're laboring undera mistake, be-
cause by reference to the election
returns of 1896 it will be seen
that the free coinage proposition
was not adopted, and yet here we
find in the country to-day nearly
hundred million dollars more il
circulation than there was q year
ago, and not a dollar OF it free sill
yer. Gold alone has increased il
circulation in the last year over
fifty million dollars.

The number of minors who be-
come depositors in the postal banks
of countries having the system in
operation is very large. 1t is
principally for the purpose OF en-
couraging children to save that
provision is made for stamp de-
posits. In Great Britain for inst
ance the smallest depositwhich will
be received and entered in pass
book is 1 shilling, or "a cents.
However, smaller amounts may
be saved by stamps. A child with
q penny may buy a stamp and at
fix it to card. When this card
contains twelve stamps it can be
deposited as shilling, and the de-
positor is entitled to receive q
passbook. Thisarrangement makes
the institution very popular among
the children, and is so convenient
as to stimulate them to make use
of its advantages. In addition,
the schools are frequently made
use of as agencies of the postal
bank for the collection of savings.
The teachers receive the deposits
of the children and turn them over
to the postal bank authorities.
Belgium is one of the countries in
which the activities of the savings
bank are extended to the school
room. Out of 7,447 primary
schools, inclusive of infant schools
and the schools of primary in
struction attached to education
institutions of other classes, there
were 1898 which took part in the
savings-bank business. The num-
Der of children in those schools
possessing deposit books was 154,-
1872, of whom $1,000 were boys
and 81, 883 were girls. Including
the schools above primary grade
they were, according to- recent
report, '5,o56 schools of all
kinds in which 200, 1857 pupils had
saved 1874, 4O2 francs. Most OF
the schools of Belgium, therefore,
it may be said, teach thrift and
economy with their instruction in
the elements of education. The
spectacle of the postofice of 6
country being used as q means fol
teaching the young the value Of
saving and intoxicating tn them
habits that will be of great use te
them in later life should make

It was 8 o'clock sharp when Governor
Budd and Mr. Bryan came on the plat

tip and caught sight of the tall orator
of the Platte it rose at him-rose and
yelled, and yelled again, until the vast
arches of the building shook with the
sound. 1t was a yell pure and simple,
with nothing definite about it, and Mr..
Bryan looked about him and smiled.
l. E. Woodman, Grand Sachern of the
local Iroquois Club, arose and raped
for order, but the crowd had not yet
done yelling at Bryan, and he raped in
vain. After a few minutes of pande-
monium a band forced its way into
the building, and made some kind of
music in the rear part. 1t was re-
inforced a short time later by a fife
and drum corps, and together they at
tempted to drown the noise of the
crowd. with something of success.

REMARKS BY GOVERNOR BUDD.
Governor Budd was received with
! cheers, but he was not out to make a
speech. The crowd wanted to hear
Bryan, and the Governor knew it, and
his remarks We're crisp, short and to
| the point His voice was strong and
full and in introducing the speaker he
spoke in substance as follows:
Fellow citizens: 1t is an honor | ap-
preciate above many that have been be-
slowed upon me in the past, to stand
before you and preside over this meet
ing. 1t is one of the greatest of honors
to stand here and present to you the
next President of the United States,
William j. Bryan.
At this point the crowd gave a long
yell, and the Governor, as Mr.. Bryan
arose, continued:
Three cheers for William J. Bryan"
Over his head the Chief Executive
waved his handkerchief and led off in
the cheer which followed, and when it
finally subsidized Mr.. Bryan mounted a
chair and waited for quiet.
AT the beginning his voice was hoarse
and strained, but as he proceeded the
difficulty gradually disappeared. His
gestures We're few but emphatic, the
principal one being to raise both hands
to the top of his head and bring them
down with vim. His fore-fnger was
ever ready TO mark a point, and at reg
ular intervals he turned from right to
left upon the chair on which he stood.

William Jennings Bryan received an
ovation on his arrival in the city last
night, a great crowd gathering at the
depot to see him arrive.
The arrangements made by the local
Democrats We're in charge of the Iro-
ouois Club. which had been the means
of securing his presence to speak in
this city. A procession was formed
at the rooms of the club at Ffreman's s
Hall, which, preceded by the Foresters'
Band. marched to the depot to meet
him on mis- arrival and escort him to
the New PeyiliOn, where he was to
speak.
In the procession, in addition to the
Iroquois Club, which was strong in
numbers, were the Bryan Silver Club,
No l, and the Oak Park and Florin
Silver Clubs, preceded by the Drum
Corps. A short time before his special
train arrived the Folsom delegation, ac-
companied by the Folsom band, arrived
on the Placerville train and took their
place in the ranks.
A very large crowd composed about
equally of men and women had as
sembed at the depot to gaze on the
champion of silver, and when his spe-
cial train arrived, at $40 p. m, the
crush was so great that he was hardly
able to reach the carriage that was
waiting for him, and the police had to
use considerable force to push back
the curious and enthusiastic crowd,
which cheered him to the echo when he
took his seat in the hack, drawn by
four white horses. AS the procession
moved up Second street, the crowd fol-
lowed it, While many stood on the street
corners along the route to see him
pass.
First came the Iroquois Club, pre-
ceded by the band and escOrting his
carriage, lighting up the street with the

containing Vice Presidents and distin-
guished guests from abroad. The drum
corps followed, preceding the Bryan
Club, No. /, and the Florin and Oak
Park Silver Clubs, while the Folsom
Cornet Band, with the delegates,

sion over two blocks in length. The

Y. w. C. A. WORK.
Farewell Reception Last Night to
Secretary Laura BeazelI.

Miss Laura Edith Beazel, General
Secretary of the Young Women's Chris
tian Association, was the recipient of
a farewell reception last evening, and
while many called in the afternoon to
say good by, owing to previous evening
engagements, a large number came and
went during the evening. The board
and others acted as a Reception Com
mittee.
The many friends Miss BeaZell has
made during her stay in our city re-
gret her departure, as she has en-
deared herself not only to the associa-
ton members, but to the general pub
lie as well. No one needing sympathy
or help has ever been turned away, and
many a homeless, friendless girl can
tell of the helpful hand extended in
time of need, and often financial aid
has been given, as well as advice and
sympathy.
1t is to be hoped that the next Sec
retary will be as efficient and capable
along all lines of Y w. c. A. work.
and that the good done in Sacramento
in the past may continue to increase
and receive the support of every citi-
zen.
During the past two years there has
been a marked growth along all lines
of association work. Especially is this
so in the educational classes. where
more systematic training is given than
before. 1t is now expected when a
member joins a class that she will con-
tlnue at least a term, which may be
three months or six. Only the best in
structors are employed and the classes
fully understand that the rates are not
cheap, but especial privileges granted
by their membership in the association.
The membership has about doubled.
The boarding house has been given I'D.
and lodgings furnished instead, which
relieves not only the Board Of Man
ayers, but the General Secretary Of
much care and hard work, coupled with
'the perpleXing problem Of ways and

ally, and the classes in Bible study
