City Cotton Crop, 6OOO Bales.

Hon. j. M. Kirk wires from MOravia,
Texas, to the Schulenberg "Stlcker "
under date of April l9th last: "My
farmer friends, look at every cotton
platfsrm as you pass by and you will
see the present (square) bale standing
on It's head with from two to four
great CABLING wounds at the mercy of
those who want to pilfer. The num-
Der of bales in Texas taken from the
original runs up into the thousands. l
remember during the session of the
legislature, when the bill known as the
Compress Bill was being discussed in
the committee room, a gentleman from
from Galveston, who was opposing the
measure, in answer to a question asked
10y me zone OF the cOmmitteel how
many bales of cotton were made by the
compress in Galveston that were taken
from the original bales compressed
there He answered About six thou
sand bales.'" And yet there are those
who decry the American Cotton Com
pany's Roundup bale, from which
there is not one ounce Of waste and
which reaches the mill exactly as il
leaves the press.

The railroad magnats makes q
great cry snd says it is an act of
robbery to make him sell out to the
government and the government
own the railroads. Now he needn't
howl at all for there is nothing to
howl about more than what he has
been doing himself all the time, when
he located his line through farmers
land and ruined the place by the ex-
ercise of the right of eminent domain.
1t will be only doing to him what he
has done to others, 10, these many
years. The roads by the same parity
of reason, can be taken by the govern
ment for the public good and if the
railroad magnate can't agree on a
price, let the dispute be settled in
the same way that dispute is now
settled about the price for the right
of way.-Neb. Independent.

DO not say, "my face is full of PIN

for Hoods Sarsaparilla cures pimples.' y
1t is improper and unnecessary to

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

ih're }. an Almost Universal Demand for
Them and rhe, are Bound tn Com. :,
the Near Future.
Mississippi Valley Democrat
One OF the prominent issues of the
near future will be government DOS
tai savings banks. Only those who
are IN close touch with the peonle
eau form any Idea of the almost u ri.
versal demand that exists for
institutions of this character. They
are bound 10 come. When the peo-
pie need and demand q thing thew
generally take the necessary steps to
ge. it.
Postal savings banks can be man
aged ard utilized very closely along
the line OF our "no tax" proposition.
That is to say, the banks will lend
money to the people direct, on good
security and at low rate of inter
est; and this interest, instead of con-
centrating in the hands Of few mil
llonalres and being used for the fur
ther oppressment of the people, as
under our existing system, will be
dIsbursed rs soon as collected in the
payment of government expenses.
This Will not only lessen the burden
OF taxation, but it will keep the PEG
pies money in active circulation and
stimulate commerce and industry be
yond anything ever experienced in
our previous history. Then when a
citizen pays his interest for the use
of the money he has borrowed from
the public, he will have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that he is reducing
his own taxes as well as those of bis
neighbors, and at the same time car.
ry forward enterprises that will fur.
nish employment and comforts fol
his fellow men.
