POLITICS AND PR0SPERlT Y
Results Accomplished During Three
Years Of Republican Rule.

i &
The contrast between our indus
trial conditions for several years be
lore March 4, 1897, and for the
years Of President McKinley's adj
mlnistfation is splendid demon
stration Of the success Of Republic
can rule, a sound currency and a
stable and properly adjusted Tariff
are essential to the country's well
fare. The Democratic party proved
its it1capacity to deal with either
subject. Every day returns to the
Treasury testify to the wisdom of
the Tariff act of 1897 and the cur
rency act Of 1900. Those two
measures are Of inca1cuable benefit
to American commerce, as well as
to manufactures and agriculture.
The establishment of the gold
standard had become essential to
r. -
the success of our foreign trade.
Hardly second in importance to
these two measures is the cores
pondence of Secretary Hay with the
European powers which has guar
anteed the "open door" III China
to American exports. The wheat
growers of the Northwest, the cot
toll growers of the South and our
manufacturers everywhere realize
That Asia is destined to be one of
the greatest markets for their sur
plus products. Porto Rico has
been provided with the closest COM
munication with the United States
the island ever enjoyed, and orrpnr-
tunities for trade, which will prove
reciprocal1y beneficial, have been
created. The establishment of the
territorial government on June II
will stimulate trade with Hawaii,
and the gold boom in Alaska is
sure to be followed by the steady
development of the resources of that
territory.
The present administration found
the home market invaded and do
mestic industries PROSTATE. 1t has
more than fulfilled its promise to
secure the home market to the
home producers; it has obtained
larger share of foreign markets
than we ever before possessed, and
it has sought out and improved ev-
cry opportunity to secure the flu
ture of our export trade.-Daven-

POSTAL SAYINGS BANKS.

The panic of 1898 and subsequent
depression swept down hundreds of
savings banks throughout the
United States. In this city, for ex-
ample, not savings bank weather.
ed the financial tempest. These
failures fell with crushing force up
on the poor and persons Of moder-
ate means. They brought destitu-
ton and despair to many. They
drove men and women to the poor
house and to suicide; and they left
All ugly influence on the moral
force of the nation, because many,
who otherwise would be disposed to
save and invest their earnings, feel
now that 2elf-denial and thrift have
no assurance Of reward
1--WE may save and pinch for five,
ten or a dozen years." they say,
''only to see our savings swept
away i'll the next financial panic.
We shall take the good of things
as we go through life. "
Postal savings banks are needed
to overcome this dangerous feeling.
Deposits in such banks are as safe
as government bonds, and as sound
as national bank currency, which
rests upon government bonds. The
thrifty working men and women
could place their savings therein
with absolute assurance that the
bank would never break, and if not
drawn out by the depositors them
selves, the deposit would be there
i'll safety, 90 or even SO years from
now. The system should carry a
provision like that of the British
system, under which deposltor,
upon reaching the maximum OF de-
posts, could, if he desired, invest
his savings i'll a government bond.
England was the first country to
adopt the postal savings bank. In
1861, largely through the advocacy
of Mr.. Gladstone, the bill entitled
IAN act to grant additional facilities
for depositing small savings at in
terest with the security Of the gov
eminent for payment thereof" be-
came a law. During the first year o
operation the deposits amounted tG

THE MYSTERY coSrrNUEs.
40 Inform. alton Can Re Obtained AZ T.
Roberts Whereabouts and Plans.

NEW YORK. Feb. l0.-lThe war Office
in London has given out no confrIna-
tion Of the report that General Buffers
forces had retired again TO the south
side Of the Tugela. The Boer telegrams
have been generally correct hitherto,
however. and the public incllnes to the
belief that the report Is accurate.
The London morning papers publish
dispatches from various sources which
Indicate that General Butler had found
his position on the vaal Krantz ridge
difficult one to hold and the silence
from the war Office Is taken as a cor
r5boratiOn Of the report that the third
attempt to relieve Ladysmith has fail
ed. Military critics are almost unan-
mous In the belief that Ladysmith
cannot hold out against another Boer
attack.
One London paper strongly hints that
General Buffers operations are for the
purpose Of Iistracting the attention Of
the Beers from projected central ad-
vance by a strong, force presumably
headed by Lord Roberts.
The government announcement that
IN three weeks time Lord Roberts will
nave l94.OO0.OOO men in South Africa,
iutensifes the public curiosity to un-
veil that closest official secret as to
where this stupendous force is.
High authorities agree that Lord
Roberts after safeguarding his COM
munications will have force OF from
$500 to 10000 men for his northward
march. Estimates as 10 how many
Beers ne will have to face are mere
guess work. so much depends upon the
fate Of Ladysmith and the number OF
Beers released from that point. Ex-
traordinary efforts have been made by
the censor TO conceal Lord Roberts
destination. but the general idea seems
TO be that he contemplates an advance
towards BIoemfontein.
A late dispatch from Sterkstrom
states that a Britishr patrol. consist
ing o. a sergeant and six men Of Bra
bant's horse. at Browns farm. was
surprised and captured early yester-
day morning. The relief sent from Pen
hoek blundered on 800 Beers. One man
of the Cape mounted rifles, whose
horse was shot, was captured but the
others escaped.
a Frenchman. who is supposed to be
a spy, was caught and brought to
Sterkstrom camp tonight.
There has been no further fighting

DrLLER's RETREAT EXPLAINED.
Belief in London His Last Advanc,
Was Only Feint.

Belief In London His Last Advance
Was Only Feint.
LONON. Feb. lO.--BulIer is once more
south Of the Tugela. General MacDon-
aid is back at Modder. and appanent-
~ the Beers have lost none Of the
aseendency they have held so Ions. Yet
today's news by no means causes the
acute disappointment attendant upon
other failures to relieve Ladysmith.
This can be attributed to three causes.
First-There Is strong belief that
Buffers last attempt was only DEM
onstration on a large scale.
Second-The wiser citizens had warn
I'd the public not to expect the lmne-
diate relief Of General White.
Third-The nation has settled down
to the realization that the war will last
a long time, and they are not swayed,
as at first, by minor reverses and vic
tories.
The second and third reasons are
self explaining. The first requires con-
siderable elucidation in favor of the
opinion OF Spencer Wilkinson, a mill
tary critic Of the Morning Post, that
Butler did not intend Immediately rush
ing onto Ladysmith. There is over
whelming evidence to show that Lord
Roberts ordered systematic activity on
the part OF all forces. On this basis
buller's move may be only a repetition
of MacDonald's and Trenches recon
Nuisance.
Mr.. Ralfour's ambiguous statement
about waiting for the completion of
plans is another strong reason for be-
lieving that Butler never intended max
ing the main advance by way of Vaal
Krantz, but was under the orders of
Roberts. The usual appeal Of Bennett
Berleigh, war correspondent Of the
London Daily Telegraph, asking the
public TO suspend judgment and rely
upon Butler also has considerable sig
nificance.
On the other hand, Buffers speech to
10 his troops, in which he said he hoped
to be in l.adysmith within week,
tends, some other people claim, TO
throw doubt upon the belief that he
has only been demonstrating in force.
The latest from the Modder river
shows that MacDonald's retirement
from Koodesberg was effected in COM
plete order, the most reasonable expla-
nation of his movement was that it
was undertaken more to restore the
confidence of the Highland brigade,
still nervous from their terrible ex-
perience at Magersfontein, than to gain
any important objective. With this
important unit, Methuen's course is
for vigorous attack on
General COME and an attempt TO re-
lieve Kimberley may be looked for,
more than likely superintended by Rob-
erts, while the Seventh division and
part of French's cavalry are occupied
in turning movement tast of Jacobs
ial.
