scrutiny would be so close that it
would be very difficult, indeed,
for commission to go wrong in
its, management of the funds,
when the loss would fall upon
the poor depositors of the coun-
try. The unpopularlty of LIS
management would be SO great as
to ruin in the public estimation
the administration responsible for
careless use Of funds. In this
connection Prof. Laughlin made
the comment that the admins
tration of the affairs Of the treas
ury department, with possibly a
single exception, has always been
in good hands, and at no time
has it been tainted with dishon-
.esty.
The postal bank plan as out
lined by Prof. Laughlin would be
the Massachusetts, savings bank
on a larger scale, with the post
Offices of the country serving as
branches for tile collection of
the small deposits. The essen
t1al difference between the two,
aside from the tremendous differ
ence in scope and magnitude, is
that the postal bank would be
managed by commission Great
ed by the federal government and
named by the president, while a
Massachusetts savings bank is
managed by a self-perpetuating
body of trustees who voluntarily
associate themselves together un-
der the laws of thf state for the
purpose of carrying on this bene-
violent work of caring for savings.
The government savings-bank
system of Belgium is managed
by board of twenty-four COM
missioners appointed by the king.
The only essential difference be-
tween the system in operation in
Belgium and that suggested by
Prof. Laughlin is that in Belgium
there is the government guaranty
for the repaymeht Of principal

The Scientific American, in
speaking of the beet sugar indus
try. says that it would require
$50 beet sugar factories, each
with a daily capacity of 500. tons
of beets, to manufacture the
amount of sugar we now import.
California now furnishes two
thirds Of all the beet sugar manu-
featured in America and the out
put will be greatly increased in
the near future, that state and
New Mexico being the most prom
isfng localities for this industry.

Charlie has left Dakota and lived in
several other localities and he writes
me that he thinks more Of, Dakota than
he ever did. This country don't begin

there is more ignorance here ten times

years and you never saw state where

The Sioux Falls preachers appear
to be after the men who do not pay
theis honest debts, Rev. Wolff of the
Presby yterian church having delivered
sermon on that subject last Sunday.
He says the church and the world need
a revival OF honesty more than they
need a revival OF religion. when the
world judges Christian he says, iii
generally hinges on the question.
Does he pay his debts I do not say
that this is always fair test, but still
the men Of the world use it. If you
pay your grocer when you promise to.
it will go further to convince him that
you are a Christian than the most reg.

CHICAGO. Jan. 23.-Twelve hundred friends
Of ex-Gov. John p. Altgeld went through the
snow storm to the fremont House tonight TO
show their devotion to him. In thanking them
for several handsome presents. he expressed his
appreciation OF the honor paid him by the DEM
ocratio members OF tho General Assembly in
voting for him for Senator. He denounced
Mark Hanna as the "dsbaucher OF CONT
nent" He said the election vote showed that
the plutocratic forces OF the country hsv"
demonstrated their ability to unite with
and to control the very ignorant and the very
poor vote OF the country. and in that way to
override and to defeat the will OF the more in
telllgent and patriotic element In American
politics." He added:
THE developments of the last two months
show clearly that the people were defeated by
count of votes that were not legally cast In eacn
of the fifteen states which Marx Hanna started
out 10 carry there nave been many
more votes counted than there were male In
habitAnts over q years OF age In Ohio there
were nearly 100000 more votes counted

In that state during four years OF near

has not been an Increase of half million In

cd and as the returns show that Mr.. Mckinley
had only 4 majority Of $4,000 In that state, IL
Is certain that Mr.; Bryan carried ohio oy
lists in fourteen other states. Il is Ger
tain that Mckinley did not carry Ohio or In

that are credited to him. We do not propose 10
