KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May lS.-Among
the decisions handed down by the
court Of appeals yesterday was one Of
particular interest to church organiza-
lions. William Ellis disturbed the
peace of a congregation Of people
worshiping in Crab Orchard school
house, in johnson county. He was
indicted, but the court held that
the indictment was defective in that
although it set out that the people
were meeting for religious worship in
the schoolhouse, the indictment did
not set out that the building was set
aside for religious services Ellis thus
gets out of what might have been an
ugly scrape.

selves as married women, spin

5O.41.
On the basis Of the figures
furnished. by the postmaster
general of Great Britain, it is
computed that if we had the
postal savings system in oper-
alton in this country the de-
positors would exceed 16,OOO,-
600 in number and the total de-
posts would reach the enor-
nous sum of 81, 100000.
The scheme is a very attrac-
tive one, but there are objec-
tons to it's adoption here which
cannot be lightly passed over.
The principal one of these OBJ
jections is the difficulty the
government would encounter
in finding safe and practical
way of investing the savings
of the people after they shall
have been deposited in the
government savings banks.
In order to pay interest upon
the savings of the people, the
government must invest them
in such a manner as to get in
terest with a small margin Of
profit to pay the expense OF
maintaining the banks. It has
been suggested that the de-
posts be used to redeem gov
eminent bonds and thus pay
off the national debt. But the
bonded indebtedness of the
nation amounts to only $847,
365, 500, and of that amount
about one half is held by the
banks as security for circula:
ton or is in the hands of for,
eign investors.
1t will thus be seen that, not.
| withstanding the attractive
| ness of the scheme, it is con
| fronted by obstacles which
now seem practically insur-
mountable. No doubt these
will be thoroughly discussed
when the subject shall come
up in congress, and there may
be craftsmanship enough in
that body to dispose of them
and make the way clear for the
adoption of the plan.

The Postal SAVINGS Banks.

In great Britain it has been
an indisputable success. The
annual report of the British
acknowledgement shows that
the number of depositors in
the postal savings banks of
England and Wales on Dec. 81,
1896, was 6,276,393. or one in
five of the population, and the
average amount of the credit
of each depositor was $78.
There were $4,000 depositors
in Scotland, in a proportion of
one to fifteen of the population,
and the average amount OF
each depositor was $50. In
Ireland there were 3O1 ,976,
with a proportion of one to tif-
teen, and the average deposit
over 500.
It happens,, moreover, that
all classes make use of this
system of saving. The post

It is so rare that representa-
tives of the people remember
ante-election promises longer
than they have become safely
ensconed in responsible posi-
tons. that men of all opinions
must appreciate the stalwart
fight made by Aldermen Simp-
son and Jefferson IN opposition
to the purchase of the water
plant at the figures of the pend
ing proposition. Deserted by
every one of their fellow coun-
cilnen similarly pledged, and
against odds that made their
efforts a forlorn hope, they
stood by their convictions and
pledges in manner that was
not only highly creditable to
themselves, but which also
forms a redeeming page in that
dark record of failures that is
the history of representative
government. Their example,
in these days is worthy of spe-
cial note, even by those who
disagree with their views.
Conditions might so change
that a departure from platform
pledges would be commenda-
BILE, but the record of treachery
to public professions is so long
that a possible error on the
other side could not be even
tentatively condemned.

The number of times that a
newspaper is printed in a week
has about as much to do with
the value of a single appear
ance of an advertisement there
in as the size of a store has to
do with the value of a purchase
one might make in it. The
truth of the above statement
would be readily admitted by
anybody who depends upon
common sense to get through
the world. In offering it,
though, we feel duty bound to
apologize to the superlative
wisdom of the charter commits
sion, since that body has de-
cided that the value of an adj
vertisement depends, not upon
the number of people it will
reach or the number of times it
is printed, bu. upon the num-
Der of times the paper III which
it. appears is published in a
week. According to their de-
cision daily with circula-
ton of 1000 copies ought to be
paid 500 for a single publica-
ton of an advertisement for
which a weekly with circula-
ton of 10000 would receive
only $50. Common sense?
Umph! What need of common
sense has this commission?

caused by objections from Al
dermen Sang and Jefferson; a
number of liquor licenses were

from O. H. Vaughn, 424 Lake

cause of the saloon being To-

The repairing of Mission
creek came up for a drawn-out
wrangle. The committee had
recommended only $3.50 while
the board of public works esti-
mated that $1,000 or 81 200
would be needed. Sang said
$3.50 would be money thrown
away as it would do no good
and there was valuable prop
erty in danger that if the re-

would be held responsible for
its destruction. Alderman
Richardson said the mainten-
ance fund was already over
drawn about $4,000. The
amount was finally fixed at
$500 and the resolution
adopted.
| The rest of the session was
monopolized by the water
works committee. An appro-
priation of $500 was made to
pay freight on material for the
city "pump shop" The rent
| of the Marinette Iron works to
Dec. 10, amounting to $110, was
allowed, also the pay rolls for
two weeks, amounting TO ST.
1883, subject to the approval
of the surety company.
A communication from Man.
ager Crawford was read STAT
ing that in his opinion Nc
Gregor, who was holding up
the boilers for the pumpin g
station, already had the best of
it in his deal with the city.
The matter was referred to
City Attorney Richards to take
such action as he deemed most
advisable.
The formal offer from Mr..
Gay of the Duluth Gas &
Water company's plants and
franchises was then presented
to the council. The offer was
accompanied by the city attor-
ney's written opinion.
A number of objections re-
suited in alterations being
made in the proposition so as
to more specifically include
the Lakeside light franchise
and the tools, material, etc., on
. hand to the estimated value of
$1,000. In reference to the
Lakeside company Alderman
Simpson asked, "Does the city
under the proposition fall heir
to the Lakeside company's
debts?"
| Jefferson wanted some spe-
cific information about what
Mr.. Gay proposed to do toward
exchanging the company's six
per cent bonds, which the city
is to assume, for the new issue
of 5 per cents. Mr.. Gay said
he could make no positive
promise, but would pledge his
best efforts. Jefferson retorted
with the query, "You don't
bind yourself to exchange any
of them?"
Mayor Truelsen rushed to
the rescue at this crisis by say
ing, ut would be better to let
those 6 per cents run; by the
time they come: due the city
can float bonds at 312 per cent.
Alderman Simpson spoke
briefly, referring to the futility
of further opposition in the
council, as those in favor of
the proposition had their
minds made up. He alluded
to the membranes inherited
with the Lakeside plant and
