M'KINLE.Ys AMERIcANIsM.
EngIishmen Do Not Enthuse Over His
denomination.


London, June % Copyright, 1900, by
the New York Tribune.)-If there be
any doubt in the United States respect
ing English opinion of Mckinley and
Republican politics, 1t may be dispelled
by the reticence of the London and
provincial press respecting the work
of the Philadelphia convention. There
there are have a p~erfunctory sound.
These are not eulogies of Mckinley.
and the Republican party is not en-
barrassed by English patronage or
fattery. The party platform is des-
cribed as moderate and the nominal
lions as good as the circumstances
permitted. The nearest approach to
complaint is the Spectators remark
that Mckinley is possibly too much of
a politician, but that he has o and
receives international respect.
The English press is ~preoccupied
with affairs in South Africa and
China, and has no space in reserve for
a trivial incident in A~nglo-Saxon his
tory, such as the election OF a presi-
dent by a nation of eighty millions.
Moreover, there are no illusions mere
respecting either President Mckinley
or the Republican party. Both are
known to be downright American and
not in any sense English. President
Mckinley is not suspected of having
ever made an apology for introducing
the tariff bill which bore his name,
and the party which renominated him.
SO far from repudiating pro~tectionisni.
has reaffirmed it and added to it subsi-
dies for American shipping.
Nobody in England rel speaks OF
Mckinley as anything but an C
promising champion OF American ideas
and policies. Hence his denomination
is received here without enthusiasm
and with quiet reserve. as possibly not
the best choice. but one which divides
the Republican party least.

Her Most Beautiful and Fruitful Years

Since woman is in the main but q

Somewhat ~recondite. but still one to

As The Encouragement is somewhat
analogous to the root-making of a rose
or a Towering shrub. Almost every
ona has noted how the riotous vitality
of the Yernal impulse wreaths rose
trees in blossom up to the period of
midsummer. Then, though the bloom
ing continues laggardly, the flowers
are poor and small. as though the tree
were tired of fashioning them ana

as August yields to September, the
flowers. though they may be fewer,
swell to more than the glory of spring,
They are truly royal, loose-leafed long
stemmed, heavy-headed blossoms. full
of every virtue-size, fragrance. color
and endurance. Then the gardener
tells you 1t is because in the height of
the warm weather the rose struck new
roots, and is full of the rich juices of
a second growth. 1t is somewhat the
same with fruit trees-which, indeed.
occasionally blossom and let fall crops
of younh fruit. Invariably they make
new wood, which, If only it harden

About Bank Failures.

The fact that the liabilities of banks
that failed in the last two years aver
aged nearly $50, 900 900 less than the
annual liabilities of the banks that
failed during President Cleveland's
term will probably be used by the
Democrats as an argument to put
them in power again. so ii they can
smash the capitalist once more. But
the people won't be fooled this way;
they prefer no panics and no runs on
the banks. as they would rather have
their money safe in sound institu-
lions.

Lastly, an examination of the num-
Der of bank deposits in Kansas and

our citizens can congratulate them
selves. The figures are taken from
the last annual report of the comp

In the state OF Kansas there were
b3,l51 people who had bank accounts
in 1894; last year there were 100, $40
bank accounts in that state.
In 1894 the total deposits in Kansas
amounted to s17.l47 100; last year the
total mount of the deposits was $685.

There has been an increase Of prac-
tlcally 100 per cent, both in the num-
Der OF people who had money to de-
post in the banks. and in the total
amount of money on deposit in Kansas.
In the state of Missouri there we're
llf'367 persons who had bank ac-
cunts In 1894; last year there were
2lS'OOs bank accounts. In 1894 the to-
tal amount of deposits in Missouri was
s53's2l .953. In 1899 the deposits in
all the banks of Missouri had increased
to $141, 726, 449.
While the number OF depositors in
Missouri had increased by 80 per cent,
the total amount of money deposited
mad increased by 160 per cent.
These facts and figures do not show
the increase in the business done at
me stores, mines and factories. nor the
larger amount of wages paid to the
thousands of people who earn their
livelihood in these two states.
