THE THRIFTY.
England Has More Money-Snvers,
But We Save More Money.

(Fr0m the Financier)
The computation of the savings de-
pOsitS of the world shows that they
amount to the enormous sum of nearly
seven billions of dollars. The depositors
in the savings banks of the world there
fore, would now be capable of advancing
the amount of the war indemnity which
France paid to Germany after 1870 seven
times over. The depOsitors of the United
States alone could cover the amount
nearly twice over. and those of France,
Prussia, and Great Britain could almost
cover II from the deposits of either coun-
try alone.
The empire of Austria-Hungary ranks
third in the amount of savings deposits
and fourth in the amount per capita but
the figures for the two divisions of the
empire are separated in the table. These
figures cover the deposits of all savings
banks in the countries named-the private
and stock banks as well as the govern
ment banks-but they do not include the
great deposits in the commercial banks
The figures as made up by the Bureau of
Statistics from material taken from the
reports of the Comptroller of the United
States Currency are as follows:

TUESDAY. OCTOBER 4. 1895
senator Quny's Arrest.

Nobody who is not acquainted with
all the facts in the case is competent TO
pass on the merits Of the lat
est movement Of the Republican
enemies of Senator Quay. 1t is
assumed, apparently with good
reason, that il is not a Democratic
scheme, but is a part of the campaign
that has been carried on by a group of
Pennsylvania Republicans for several
years. Having failed, in the recent
active fight, to defeat him. these lead
Quay has abused his power over the
machine, have sprung a sensation that
was wholly unexpected.
Ordinarily, it would be taken for
granted that there was sufficient foun-
datiOn for such suit, but fair-minded
persons, even though strongly opposed
10 Quay and Quayism, are apt to regard
this as a political trick, which may or
may not be warranted by the facts.
What strikes the disinterested observer
is that if the men who have caused his
arrest have proofs OF his criminality.
they were bound to bring suit before
they had been beaten in their campaign
against him. 1t looks as though they
would never have moved in the matter
if he had retired from the senatorial
contest at their bidding; that they have
used it, not TO further the ends Of jus
tice, but simply as a club to beat him
d, Hn.
Unless il can be shown that only now
has the prosecution obtained evidence
that warrants Quays arrest, the public
is bound to look on the affair as the use
of the law to compel him TO give up his
hold on his office.

A Grewsome Revelation.

Another clergyman. this time the Rev.
Henry Bryan, canon commissioner OF
the Episcopal Church of the Incarna-
ton at Garden City. Long Island, has
come out with damaging statements
about Camp Wikoff. His testimony
is that the paupers of Hampstead,
Long Island, have more ceremo-
nious and expensive funerals than
those soldiers who have died at
Montauk this month. 1t has been
stated that each dead soldier was
clothed in a suitable uniform and bur-
led in a coffin of respectable appear
ance, a sealed bottle being placed in the
coffin containing the name and number
of regiment for verification. This state
ment is fatty contradicted by Mr.. Bry-
an. who says that no uniforms were
provided. the bodies being clothed SIM
ply in night shirts and placed in pine
coffins of the cheapest quality. AS for
records of name, regiment and so on.
there were none Perhaps that was
just as well. Should any friends or rel
atives of these poor fellows appear af-
ter the burial they would be inexpressi-
bly, panied 10 discover the way in which
the Government provides burial for it's
defenders
OF course. on the battlefield it is not
expected that collins will be provided
for the dead, or that elaborate cere-
monies shall accompany burial. But
when men are buried from the hos
pitfalls it really seems as if some sem
blance of the decencies of civilized life
might be preserved. The men who
came back from Cuba are indignant
past all expression at the behavior of
certain Cuban ghouls who dug up the
bodies of American soldiers for the
sake of TIE uniforms. 1t appears that
whatever money was provided by
this great, rich Government for the
proper burial and care of soldiers who
die in hospital has gone into some
body's pocket instead of being used fol
the proper purpose. What is the differ,
ence. after all, between a Cuban CHOU
who robs corpses and an American po-
litical shark who deprives the dead OF
/ clothes, not after, but before burial?

An Expert Opinion.

The New York Medical Record is
naturally interested in the sufferings of
the army from disease and from lack
of food that made them the easier vic
Tins of disease. In a careful article
on some of the medical lessons of the
war 1t says that whoever is to blame,
there is no doubling the fact that the
sick soldier has been most outrageous
ly neglected" mo one" it continues,
doubts that there was great misman-
agement somewhere, and by some par
for the gross neglect of duty which oc-
casioned the privation and suffering of
the men who had a guaranteed right
70 expect the best of care" After re-
jecting the apologies and explanations
of the Secretary Of War, it says: THE
fact remains that many of the supplies
not only failed to reach their destina-
tion, but were actually sent home un-
used by anybody while hundreds suf-
fered and died for want of them" The
Medical Record evidently fails to see
that the soldiers were to blame for their
own sufferings. as charged by Secre-
tary Alger.
1t finds that for some inexplicable
reason the Government-that is to say,
Secretary Alger, acting partly under
the advice Of the surgeon general-ap-
pointed civilian doctors. in one case a
veterinary surgeon, over the regular
army surgeons. 1T is certainly a re-
Election on the intelligence, skill, and
training of the regular army surgeon, -
IL says, that it should be found neces-
sary TO outrank him in so many in

practitioners to important and respon-

army surgeon was left too much in the
background, though it does not give
the reason, which is the political pull

it? When he was needed, when Cuban
soldiers were wanted to keep Spanish re-

his 3c.Cro men concealed in the brush in

were promised his aid. He did not make
his whereabouts known until the Ameri-

Senator Hanna is a just one, simply be-
cause the latter is always disposed to
