THE STRIKE IN POLITICS.

Democratic campaign managers are visibly
delighted over the strike prospects in the
anthracite coal region. The news Of Il 100000
contribuLon frcm SIR Croker and his fellow

IIo-e They know, Of course. that the strike

and misery for the families Of thousands Of
the poor people for whose welfare they pretend
- great concern. They know. too, that it means
high priced coal TO thousands Of other Door
people all over the country who cannot afford
the added expense. But they think it means also
the stirring up of class hatred. dissatisfaction
with everything that is, and the winning of votes
for Mr.. Bryan and his revolutionary programme.
They recall Homestead and the undoubted
political influence of the labor struggle of 1892
toward preventing the reelection Of President
Harrison, and they hope a similar result can
be made 10 follow a strike on the eve of this
election. Their hopes and their rejoicing are a.
fair measure OF the sincerity Of their devotion
10 the general welfare. They are glad Of any
calamity which will promote their selfish
schemes
1t is already clear that the Democrats will
spare no effort to awaken prejudice, for they
have already begun the work; but il is not so
clear that they can succeed to any such extent
as In 1892. They certainly cannot II the mass
OF workingmen have memories Unless they
are blind slaves Of the demagogues the political
arguments founded on Homestead must be a

alleged oppression under the auspices Of n
Republican Administration. They put faith In

stagnation and personal hardship. Will any

HARMONY AND DEHOTLnN-

Harmony distills like honey from the lips of
Richard Croker. The tiger and the lamb hav-
ing taken a siesta together at Saratoga, with
the lamb inside, there is great purring and
smiling and licking Of chops Mr. Croker is
friendly with everybody-alm He announces,
There is no use keeping up party fight" and
says he is going to help MCGUIRE" He calls
on MCGUIRE makes liberal promises and de-
clares his devotion TO Mr. Stanch1ield and to
harmony.
We are inclined to think that his devotion to
Mr.. Stanchfeld is unfeigned, in spite of the
view Of some who support that gentleman on
the theory that II is the way to hurt Mr. Croker
Not that he would shed tears over Mr.. Stanch-
fields defeat or that he really expects to see
him elected. There many reasons for sup
posing that he knows the Democratic chances
IL this State slight, and 1t is evident that he
would rather have them so than to see Demo
cratic prospects improved by an unwelcome
nomination like that of Mr.. Coler. But ii is one
thing 10 look complacently toward defeat and
another thing to prepare IL. Mr.. Croker has
TOO much at stake in large vote for Mr.
stanchheld TO do anything but work faithfully
for him. He has nominated him against the
protests Of large body Of Democrats and with
the warning that he was organizing defeat
Every vote that Mr.. Stanchfeld falls short of
MI Bryan In this State justifies those protests
and weakens his prestige as a State lender If
he can carry his candidate ahead Of Mr. BRYAN.
even If be is defeated, he will have made a fair
showing Tor his political management and be in
position to dictate future State nominations.
So we think MIR. Croker probably means what
he says about helping Mcclure, and that no.
body need suppose that he is hitting Mr. Croker
blow by voting for Mr.. Crokers candidate.
When IL comes TO harmony though II Is an
other story The same reporters who tell about
the love feast with Mcclure also announce that

democratic, there are difficulties In the ADJUST
ment OF industrial conditions. Neither the he'
publican nor Democratic party can hx the con-
ditions Of labor or compel the operators to ac-
cede to the demands of the workers. 1t is easy
for the Democrats to talk about trusts and coal
barons, but until they can point out specincally
what the Republican party could do, what they
would do. If in power, to give the miners higher
wages and cheaper powder, and remove thelr

demagogy for them to try to infame a class OF

New-York tribune., 1900-09-17
ENGLAHD's PosToFFICE SAYINGS BANK.

ENGLAND'S POSTOFFICE SAYINGS BANK
The advocates of the adoption of a postal
savings bank In this country ought to consider
we'll the present condition of the British Postal
Savings Bank, the authorities of that insti-
tuition present 1t. Their report shows that on
December 81 last there was excess of liabili-
ties over assets amounting to $2,500 000-the
exact amount being f504.92S Is. 10d In the
concise language OF a correspondent of "The
London Times" who calls attention to It. this
is a confession Of insolvency" The British
Postal Savings Bank has always been a main
stay in the arguments OF those who favor the
adoption of a similar plan in this country. 1t
might be expected to illustrate the best that
conservative management and sound principles
could do, fortified and buttressed by the credit
and helping hand of a Government with almost
limitless resources. It surely ought to be the
exemplar of government postal banks. If the
drastic deduction Of THE Times's" correspond
ent is justified. is there not something wrong
with the principle?
The year before last there was a surplus of
more than $5O,0OO,OOO. This has not only melted
away, but $2,500000 more has gone with 1t.
Furthermore, the bank Is now reported to be
making q yearly loss on the conduct Of its busI-
ness. 1t is obliged by law 10 pay interest of 2lb
per cent on its deposits; the expense of manage
ment added to this brings the cost TO the bank
of every 600 deposited up to nearly per cent
TIL 1895 for nineteen years there had been
yearly profits. but in that year the scale turned
and there now annual lOsses-small, indeed
but enough to indicate a state Of things prevail
ing that in a private business would result in an
instant overhauling and the adoption of prompt
and radical measures.
In theory the British postal bank Is carried
on in the same way as savings banks are car
ried on in this country, for the investment in
securities-not entirely In British Government
