THE LOGIC OF EVENTS.


But in order 10 defeat Worth Patt's leuten-
ants In Brooklyn were actually Obliged to pledge
their support TO Sch Low, whose popularity with
the Republicans of Brooklyn Is great Accordingly
the committee indorred Lows candidacy by a vote
OF 15l to %. Since Plat allows Ms Brooklyn friends
70 support Low. IL may well be asked why i IL
Impossible for Platt himself and his New-York
followers 10 accept Low In their own good time.
That is clearly the logic Of events.

used to be the custom to batter the hat of
the bridegroom as nc was leaving tho
house in which the ceremony took place.
On ono OF those occasions q newly married
couple, relatives of the bridegroom, deter
mined to carry out the ~obseryances Of this
custom to the letter
Tho bridegroom heard them discussing
their plans and dispatched a messenger TO
the carriage, which stood waiting, with
his hat some timo previous to his depar-
ture. Then, donning the hat of the male
relative who had plotted against him, he
prepared to 60 Il to the carriage.
No sooner had he got to the door than
his hat was ~furiously assaulted and almost
destroyed. He Walked out Of the house
amid the laughter Of the ]bystanders and
entered tho vehicle Then, taking tho bat

was the possessor of a small hand camera
and 90 scoing Rocheiort he stopped with

priest. he demanded permission TO ask
Rocholort TO pose for him. The priest
smiled, but consented The idea of the
famous atheist rendering a service such
as this to a little Catholic boy was ludi-

Topic of General Interest.

Simply as an expression from men
who are trained to deal with prob
lens and to form their opinions from
conviction, the opinions of the four
teen professors Of Northwestern uni
versity to whom a postal savings
bank petition vas presented are Of
interest. Each of them gave his in
dorsement to the project and appar-
emily took pleasure in doing so.
Just as the laboring men approved
the plan from a keen personal sense
Of its need just as business men
have Endorsed it as the best available
means of promoting contentment
and thus forfending agitations un-
favorable to steady growth in trade,
the college men approve it as a
theory sound in the abstract and
practicable in its application to the
conditions of the time.
The Northwestern university
faculty is representative in it's per
sonnet, of many educational institu-
tions of high class throughout the
country. 1t is not unreasonable to
suppose that an actual test would
disclose that the greater part Of the
educators in the country would take
the same view.
In the light Of this general convic-
ton among all classes as to the merits
Of postal banks, how long will it be
before the system is regarded 10y the
people not as merely an advantage
but as a necessity of modern social
and economic conditions -?
The approaching session Of Con-
gress can deal with nc question Of
more general interest than that Of
postal savings banks, and it is to be
hoped the recommendations Of Post
master General Gary will be favor
ably acted upon.
