The Postal Savings Bank.

The postal savings bank is not a new
venture, but has been successfully tried
in several nations none of which would
abolish the system. When this idea was
first inaugurated by this government the
question was asked would lot the gov
ernment be out of pocket by paying in
terest on the money thus accumulated?
Events have proven that 1t would have
been an economical proposition, for the
government would now have millions of
the peoples money, at very low rate of
interest, and would not be compelled to
issue bonds, as they are contemplating
to do at present. The people would also
have saved millions which was lost in
the late panic by failure of national and
savings banks. The proper time has
come to establish this system of savings
banks, both for the benefit of the nation
and the people at large. Who would not
rather go to post Office and deposit
their savings at the rate Of 2 or 3 per
per cent, with the United States re-
sporsibie for its safe keeping, than to
place their money with banks operated
under the present banking system. The
greed of the money power would offer
the only opposition TO the postal savings
system and their objection should not be
considered where the interests of the ma
ton and its people are at stake. Let US
have under the control Of tho general
government a postal savings bank-the
people will support 1.-THE people want
it-therefore it should he established.

Give the People a Change.

The bankers of the country are pre-
pared TO tase the bonds of the govern
ment. This is in no way surprising, con
sidering the high character of the secur-
ity which is offered. But if there should
be any need Of bond issues they must
no longer be sold in bulk as they have
been to favored syndieates which at
once turn them over at enormous pro
fits to the real investors. II money is
needed it will come from the people.
When the French Prussian war closed
France was believed to be crushed un-
der the tremendous load of debt imposed
upon it. The government fortunately
enough for Itself, placed its reliance in
the people. Bonds were issued in de-
nominations so small as TO be WITHIN the
reach of pretty nearly everybody. They
were eagerly snapped up by the thrifty
French people and the government got
all OF the enormous sum which it needed
and was under obligation to none but its
own people.
1t would be well for the American Gov
ernment to adopt similar policy. Scan
dals such as resulted from the Morgan
syndicate manipulation during the
Cleveland administration do irreparable
injury and the president should be care
full to avoid thai bad example. As be-
tween the bankers and the people no
administration should hesitate as to
which to choose. Inc people after all
are the mainstay OF the government,
and until they are found unwilling or
unable TO supply the demand for money
the bankers should not be called in

In an editorial headed The Klonkike
Back Number" Sundays Denver Re
publican says at is very noticeable that
the KlondiiSe excitement has drawn few
men from Colorado. The sensible MIN
ers from this state have seen too clearl,
that in leaving Colorado's gold fields
for the alleged deposits OF the Klondike
they would be leaving a certainty for an
uncertainty. under circumstances and
conditions which offer little inducement
to venture. 1t is to their credit that
they have done so, and we venture the
assertion that few of those who have
gone will feel rewarded for letting them
selves be led away. Colorado will CON

Copper Next to Gold.

Smelter men have listened to so many
accounts of discoveries in Colorado
which have proved altogether immagi-
nary, or at the best, enormously exagger-
ated that it is not to be wondered at
if they are inclined to discount reports
in regard to new copper fields. But cop
per is in great demand and any real val
liable copper finds will not have to weit
for purchasers. Hence this is promising
field for prospectors who wish TO make a
quick turn and sell their claims as soon
as they are sufficiently developed to show
that they really have ore in paying guam
titles. Copper is now next to gold the
metal most sought for, and when it is
once demonstrated that a region has
copper in paying quantities there soon
would be an army Of prospectors in the
field. The opening Of big copper mines
as near at hand as western Colorado
would be hailed as godsend by the
Boston and Colorado Smelling company.
who would no doubt see to it that plenty
of money was available to develop them

been known since the war. Unless there

corning the opportunities for excursion
lists at the great lakes, and many people
who have been in the habit of coming to
the northeast coast of the Atlantic are
preparing to travel west into the noun

bring many in this direction who never
have visited the west, and Colorado will
largely gain by the movement. OF
course, as the lakes are more widely
known and are nearer the east, the bulk
of the travel will tend that way, but

At Last.

The American people have been
aroused to the Importance of aiding
Cuba to secure her freedom from Span
ish rule. War was decided against
Spain and she was told to pull up and
leave the island Of Cuba or take the con-
sequences. Spain chose to contest the
matter by force OF arms. The president
OF the United States turned loose the
dogs OF war. The first step was to
blockade the harbor of Havana, so that
Spanish ships could not enter or depart
from that port. Comodore Dewey has
fought and won a famous battle in Man
W bay, destroyed the Spanish fleet and
captured the island. This will prove a
hard blow to the Spanish government.

Simple Remedies FOR Common
Vacations.

When cooking cabbage boil little
vinegar on the stove at the same time !;
it will prevent the odor from penetrating
the house.
After slicing or pealing onions rub the
hands thoroughly with ground mustard,
wash with soap, and the unpleasant
scent, which usually clings 80 long will
disappear.
If let stand an hour or SO a strong so
luton OF common soda and water will
help to clean cooking vessel in which
food has been scorched.
Insect stings may be relieved by ap-
plying common soda, slightly dampened.
Fresh ink may be easily removed from
a carpet by covering thickly with appli-
cations of salt until ink has been entirely
absorbed.
Concentrated lie used freely will be
found effectual in keeping ants out Of
the house.
Velvets may be made to look fresh and
bright by rubbing gently with cloth
which has been wrung almost dry from
gasoline. Felt hats may be nicely
cleaned in similar manner. Care
should be taken to use the gasoline in a
cool place and in the open air if possible.
Black straw hats which have become
dingy with dust can be made to look like
new by polishing with liquid shoe black
ing. 1t is said that white straw may
be as satisfactorily restored by rubbing
hat with half lemon and then wipine

Helping Them to Help Themselves.

The announced plan to leave the land
operations of Cuba TO the insurgents for
the present will doubtless meet very
general approval outside of the United
States army, where it will cause consid-
erable disappointment among the officers
and men who are eager to get shot at
the Spaniards.
The insurgents have maintained from
the first thasthey could secure their in
dependence unaided if given time, or
that they could secure it speedily if
given arms. III they really do not need
reinforcements, it would seem to be the
part of wisdom not to send an army into
Cuba. If, by supplying the insurgents
with arms and ammunition and with
food for the soldiers and the non-com-
batants, we can maze their army larger
and stronger and thus help them to win
their independence, such a plan would
seem to be preferable to risking our own
ARMY at this season of the year for the
sake of presenting Independence to the
Cubans as a gift.
1t is said that the Cuban army could
be nearly doubled if the United States
government but supplied the equipment
and food to carry on the war. With our
fleet blockading the leading ports and
such an army in the rear, and with our
forces on the south Atlantic coast ready
for reinforcement if such assistance be
necessary, it would seem that the evacu-
aUion OF Cuba by the opaniards must be
a matter OF but few months at most.
A victory thus achieved would be more
in keeping with the ayowais of our gov
ernment and with the aspirations of the
Cubaus themselves. 1t would not lessen
the merit OF our championship TO let the
insurgents hgnt their own battles as
far as possiD.e and win their indepen-
dence with the least necessary assistance
from our land forces.-Aonsds city

good account of himself and his vessels.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. July 17.-War
department officials are glvlng the ma
Tor portion Of their attention to the
adoptlon of strict measures for the
protection OF our troops from yellow
fever and from low tropical tcvers. Tho
department has decided to remove the
troops at Santiago at the earliest pos
slble moment to the country In the rear.
Adjutant General Corbtn said to-day
that within ave miles Of Santiago pro-
per the conditions were as nearly Ideal
as ob;ainable in the tropics for stamp
ing out the fever. High hills assured
well-drained camps, a most important
element In the preservation of health,
the water supply coming from the
mountains was pure and abundant and
fresh sea bseezes prevailed.
While the main body Of troops is TO
be transferred back TO these hills until
they are needed for services elsewhere
or are returned to the United States,
some troops necessary viii be placed
either In the town itself or in camps
commanding the place, In order to pro-
tect the Inhabitants. 1t is believed that
she two regiments OF Immunes already
on their way to Santiago will be as
signed to that duty. This will be Sc
we're test OF the principle involved in
the formation OF the immune regiments
for II Is suspected that manv OF the al
legged immunes are merely persons who
have spent only few weeks in the
tropics under conditions that never
brought them into direct exposure to
yellow fever. -
Surgeon General WHmun. Of the mas
rlne hospital service, says there Is not a
single case Of yellow fever in this cOun-
try so far as he knows. and no prepar-
auons are making to receive yellow fee

that Secretary Alger will soon order the
two companies OF soldiers now at Tor
tugas, on the Florida coast, to some
other point, and this place then will re-
vert to the marine hospital.
