A Commendable Measure

A commendable and timely measure has
just been placed on the statute books at
Washington. 1t provides that any home
steader may go into the war with Spain
and count his military service as residence
upon the land. His claim shall not be for
feited, no matter how long. he may be absent
if in the service, and no equity secured by
actual cultivation of the land shall be lost
through having enlisted.-Oakland Tribune.

conflicting STORIES
GERMANY'S ATTITUDE AND IN
TENTIONS DISCUSSED
Report That Force Has Been Landed
in Manila. Discre lifted by This
Government

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The reports
that Germany has landed naval force at
Manila are discredited in the most positive
manner at the state department and in the
best informed dipomatic quarters. 1t Is
looked upon as a part of the persistent for
eign propaganda, inspired from Madrid
which for weeks has been seeking to stir
up animosity between the United States,
Germany France and other countries. That
the report is purely conjectural is shown
by the fact that there is no cable commune
cation out Of Manila, and even Admiral
Dewey, who holds the shore end of the
cable, has not been heard from in some
days.
If We Permit It
LONDON, June A.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle says: DR..
Won Holleben, the German ambassador TO
the United States, has arranged for the
landing of German marines at Manila to

Germany Angry
LONDON. June 23-The Berlin corre-
spondent OF the Times, commenting on the
continued discussion of the Philippine ques-
ton, says:
There would be storm of indignation
in the German press if the United States
were to become master of the Philippines
while Germany got nothing. In the view of
many German politicians, anything would
be better than that, and they would even
prefer -tg. see the intervention of several
European powers to protect the life and
property of their subjects from the rebels
followed by the acquisition of a naval sta
ton for each of them.
"There is, in fact, a strong inclination
to repeat the Chinese drama at Kiaochau
wherever an opportunity is afforded. Rel
atively to what Germany already possesses
she has everything to gain by such policy
of fair shares all around.
''rhere can, however, be little doubt that
no European power or combination of pow
ers will venture to prevent the United States
and Great Britain from settling the future
of the Philippines conformity, or at least
under the protection of their conjoint naval
forces. Continental opinion would not only
speedily acknowledge the strength of an
Anglo-American naval alliance, but would
be practically unanimous against mourning
the risk of the commercial consequences of
breach with the United States"

Oranges are native to Paraguay. The cultivated tree bears five years after planting, Q seven-year-old tree produc- ing about one thousand oranges. The orange is staple article of food, par ticularly in the country. Hogs are fat tened on them, and orange-fed pork is very good. From June till November an average of SOO,OOo oranges are ex- ported, on which there is no duty. The sale of the mandarin is ready and price remunerative.

WISDOM IN FRANCE.

At the banquet given in honor of Gen eral Kitchener in London yesterday an important announcement was made by the Marquis of Salisbury. He said: This afternoon I received from the French ambassador the information that the French government has come Fashoda is of no sort of value and that they thought, in the circumstances, that to persist in an occupation which would only cost them money and do harm, merely because some bad advisers thought it might be disagreeable to an unwelcome neighbor, would not show the wisdom with which the French gov ernment has been uniformly guided.
 So the flashing about Fashoda is much less troublesome and dangerous than it was, though the Marquis of Salisbury says the disturbance is not yet fully quieted But the French have become sensible, and it is perhaps fair to expect that they will continue to be so long enough to avoid war with Eng land. They have enough to attend to just now in the Dreyfus case, and until they can settle that in accordance with honesty and justice they will do well not to engage in any outside enter ,oJ.isac

POOR BUT HONEST ARCH
 BISHOP.


 The Archbishop of Canterbury is sim gular among the roll of English pri- mates for his hatred of pomp and de- coration. Once, when the guest of country clergyman, he was much an- noyed by the display of silver candle sticks in his room. After his Lord ships departure these silver candle- sticks were nowhere to be seen The distressed clergyman at once wrote to the Bishop, as he then was, telling him of his loss, and add ng; Can you tell us what has happened?" The reply came by wire: Poor, but honest; look in the chest of drawers ?
 This is not the only silver adventure in which Archbishop Temple has been concerned. On another occasion he was put up by clergyman during the absence of that clergyman's wife, On leaving, the host politely expressed the hope that when next his Lordship honored the house Mrs Temple would accompany him. No, thanks" the Archbishop laconically replied; Mrs. Temple doesn't like roughing it." The clergyman's feelings were deeply hurt, for the visit had meant some expense and much anxiety to him. He unburd- ened his soul to his wife on her return. Why, my dear" she exclaimed, you didn't surely put the Bishop in the pink bedroom, did you?" He did. "Oh, then, that's it. I put all the plate in the bed!"-London Outlook

4 CURIOUS SCHEME

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal of Kansas comes forward with an inter- esting, though not entirely new scheme to add to the safety of depositors in banks MT. Breidenthals plan pro- yides that each of the State banks do- ing business in Kansas shall deposit with the State treasurer per cent of it's average deposits, and that the fund so created shall be loaned back to the banks at the rate of 21s per cent. per annum, the fund accumulating from the interest to compose the safety fund out of which depositors in failing banks shall be paid. MT. Breidenthal shows that the deposits in Kansas State banks amount to about $22, 000, GOO; that per cent. of this sum would be $1,100,000. which, loaned at 2A per cent, would yield annually $27000 with which to pay losing depositors. MT. Breidenthal thinks that this sum an- nually will be sufficient to pay all losses, though he admits that it would not have done so in the past. His scheme proposes that when a bank bor- rows money from the deposit fund the bank must give one or more of the best security companies in pledge of payment
 There are serious objections to this scheme and some of them are forcibly set forth by the Kansas City Journal. The Journal points out that in the first place the strong banks of Kansas do not need to borrow money from the deposit fund or anywhere else. There is no strong and conservative bank in Kansas today that is willing to pay the State 21a per cent. besides paying the security companies for their ser vices. If the weaker banks become in duced to avail themselves of the de- post funds the transaction has resulted simply in transferring part of the legal reserve held by the stronger banks to the vaults of the weaker banks. a pro-
 
 cess bound to be attended by more or less danger. If all banks were alike in strength, conservatism, honesty and careful management, the problem of creating a sinking fund for the safety of depositors would be an easy one. It universally is the case- that failing banks are those which are misman- aged. In one respect the requirement. that strong banks should pay the losses of their weaker rivals is making prudence, honesty and success pay a premium to dishonesty, carelessnsss and failure. It perhaps will not do to say that the plan would induce care lessness and p1omulgate dishonesty,
