Senator Chandler sounds a
warning note to the Republican
party In the following style:
s'If the secretary of the treasury
and his single gold standard asso-
ciates will cease their demand for
impossible currency legislation.
Congress will pass the necessary
appropriation bills, probably take
care OF Hawaii and Cuba, there
will be no serious party division
during the session and there will
be an adjournment Ill May.
Business will revive. the balance
of trade will continue in our favor
and the Republican party will, in
November 1898, elect a majority
of the House in the tifty-fitth Con
gress. On the other hand, If Sec
retary Gage continues to press up
on Congress a bill the object he
says is first, to commit the coun-
try more thoroughly to the gold
standard, and the immediate re-
suit of which is to throw doubts
upon the sincerity of the presi-
dents declarations in favor of con
t1nued efforts to secure bimetal-
lism, a political turmoil will arse
In Congress which will split the
now united Republican party into
fragments, while 1T will unite and
consolidate the now incongruous
or position"

The Chicago Records postal
savings bank bill was introduced
in the house of representatives on
the opening day of the congress
ional session by Representatives
Lorimer, the Chicago member of
the house committee on postofi
ces and postroads. The bill was
referred at once TO the postoffice
committee, according to the usual
custom. 1t was introduced in the
senate a day or two later by
Senator Mason, who is member
of the senate postoiiice COM
mittee. 1t is upon these commit
tees that attention must center
for the present of those interested
in the passage of a law for the
establishment of the postal saw
ings bank system. The earnest
agitation among the people has
forced upon all the members of
congress consideration of this
subject. with the result that 1t is
discussed Ill Washington to an
extent that 1T never has before.
The chairman of the house COM
mlttee is an opponent of the postal
bank idea, but other leading men,
bers are friendly to the plan. The
first and, indeed, the sew crest
test of strength, therefore, must
come in the postoffice committee.
If postal savings bank bill is re-
ported favorably by that commit
tee and brought to vote III the
house, there can be but little
doubt OF the outcome on the floor.
Fortunately, as the result OF
popular agitation, and because of
the aggressive spirit which the
friends of the measure III congress
are manifesting. the subject is
one that cannot be ignored or
plgeonholed. Never before has
the number OF members actively
interested in the success of this
PROJECT been so great. Sentiment
in favor of postal savings banks
seems to be even stronger III the
senate than among the members
of the house. 1t Is expected that
a bill will be reported from the
senate committee without great
difficulty, with the chances good
for Its passage through the senate.
The more that members of con
gress, and especially of the post
Office committees, can be made to
feel individually the deep inter
est OF the public i'll this matter
the more likely will they be to
take early action looking to the
establishment Of the postal saw
ings bank system.-Chlcago Rec
