HE HAS DEPRECATED.

Long Prairie Argus: A dis.
patch from Duluth to the dailies
states that G. A. Towne reaf-
firmed there that he was offered
$50, 1000 and the United States sem
atorship and special train to 60
to Canton if he would remained in
the Republican party. He is cred.
tied with saying over there that
he didn't think Mckinley knew
any thing about it. When here
he threw out the inference that
it really me from Mckinley. We
do not think there are many who
believe this story, but he ought
to tell the name of the party,
who, he says, made HIM such an
offer. The fact that he doesn t
do it shows that it IS not true.

THE POSTAL SAVINGS
BANK QUESTION.

The opposition to the postaI
savings. bank scheme which Post
master. General Gary is seeking to
make the central feature of his
administration, is evidently grow
ing. The principal argument Of
the opponents is that the govern
ment would find it difficult tc
invest the money deposited. W.
should say thai it would be i'm.
possible for the government to
take care of this money with its
present machinery, and now that
conservative men are urging the
government to withdraw from the

time to complicate that problem

of the secretary of the treasury

money in private securit' es; for, as
Professor Taussig points out,
postal savings.banks are successful
in other countries because the
money deposited may be invested
in permanent or increasing public
debts. Here the case is different.

expensive, and, besides, It is the
policy of the gov eminent to pay
the public debt. We think the

continue operations, so that all
parties may be benefited to as
great an extent as possible. The
order issued today is to prevent
possible frauds which might
naturally be attempted by parties
who might want to make more
out of these contracts than the

THE State is in no danger Of
having to pay the alleged Vir-
ginia debt SO long as the Repub.
licans are in power. There was
not a Republican in either the
Senate or House in 1895 or 1897
who favored the payment Of this
debt. The very mention of such
proposition was Indignantly re-
pudiated, and in the Senate it
was thought that the Edmiston
resolution did not go far enough
in the matter, and the Republican
Senators conferred for several
days, striving to formulate some
kind Of Legislation that would
forever put the matter at lest
and let the bondholders know
that they had no case now or at
any future time.

The Democrats cannot defeat
MIR. r. T. Lowndes for member
of the Legislature by their usual
deceptive tactics. The story they
have circulated about his being
in favor of paying the old Vir-
ginia debt is as base falsehood
as was ever uttered, Mr..
Lowndes is located for life in
Clarksburg, and his future deal
ings will be with the people of
Harrison county. He, Of all men,
could least afford to favora thing
so odious to the people of his
county, with whom he must in
future have extensive dealings.
His word should be sufficient TO
cause every Republican to give
him that confidence to which he
is entitled. We could, with just
as much propriety, say that the
Democratic candidates are plcdg-
ed to pay these bonds in gold.
The only thing left when so ac-
cused would be for them to deny
the accusation. The next United
States Senator from West Vir-
ginia must not be a free trade,
free silver Democrat. The way
to avoid such a calamity is for
every Republican to help elect
Republicans to represent US in

THE Democratic Courier. Jour-
nal while opposed to the admin
istratlon of President Mckinley,
has this to say of the country's
prosperity: 1.-The volume of bust
ness has continued as large and
encouraging as ever, as shown in
the reports of bank clearings and
railroad earnings. The West
and Northwest are getting the
larger share of the country's
prosperity, but the East is doing
better than in 1892, and with the
exception of Mississippi. Louisl-
ana and one or two other States
which are disturbed by fears of
yellow fever, the South is also
in excellent condition. Certain
ly the jobbing trade in this city
was never so good. The abund-
ance of money is becoming so
great that the days of usurious
interest charges to the farmers
will soon be over. Of course
the man whose credit is poor for
the usual reasons will be able to
borrow. if at all, only at rates
which will compensate the lender
for the risk, but the man of good
business habits Will be able to
obtain advances up to the full
proportion of his collateral at as
moderate terms as the merchant
or manufacturer.

has helped to make the laws that
