Some of the banks that tried to con-
vince their creditors that vote for

would be paid at the rate of 50 cents
on the dollar are now trying to settle
with their depositors through a re-

In the Journal OF last week appeared
an open letter to me on the subject Of
savings banks, by VIM. Albert George,
of New York city, all of which most
heartily indorse and recommend to
the careful study of all our members.
The depositing of the small sayings of
labor in savings banks. or any other,
for that matter, is like furnishing
ammunition for the guns Of an enemy.
The savings banks are the open ene-
mics of labor, and have opposed every
effort of the working people to provide
better conditions. Fortified behind
the aggregate savings Of the poor, they
have persistently fought every reform
advanced by the people. and expended
the deposits Of their customers to cor
rupt the public, to place interest above
industry and money above men. They
back the trusts and the corporations
in every conceivable kind of scheme
to rob labor. Finally they fail, and
their poor duped depositors get little
or nothing. l never believed in the
policy Of petting the beast that want
ed to devour me.-J. r. Sovereign.

people they have a natural place, and it
is as pleasant to recognize by word or look
the charms of our friends as it is to profit
by them Profit we do, undoubtedly, as all
that makes life fairer makes it better, and
a wholesome discernment of good traits
must add to our faith in human nature and
its capabilities. Rigid moralists declare
that compliments are so akin to fattery
that it is wrong to use praise in any way.

ration great silver dish heaped with

introduce with the different courses. A
bunch of grapes tied to the chandelier over

novelties at the caterers or the confecton-
