REPAVE MAIN STREET.

The bad condition Of the old paving on

1t Is an Improvement that ought by all

tho owners. The city could be
expected 10 aid materially and thus
those specially Interested and the public

would follow the Improvement.
The present condition OF Main street is a

the city's business and enterprise are

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.


Under the above caption The Post prints
a communication from MIR. James Fit,.
senaia OF Mtllican. in which that gentle-
man thinks that the postal savings sy,.

dunn. because the government would be
allowed to use the deposits for government
purposes.
Several Others, among them some no
fessedly democratic papers have also an.
swered The Pests argument in a similar
way, and It appears, also. 10 be generaj,y
the idea that the postal banks are to he
established especially to coax the a,ock.

BANKRUPTCY LEGISLATION.

The democratic caucus at Washington
the other day put itself In accord with the
preponderating business sentiment Of the
country when II declared that 1--WE (the
democrats) favor the early enactment of a

TO tho winding up OF the business OF bank
