ONE GOOD POINT.

John Barrett, SO long American min
lister to Siam by Democratic appoint
ment. and an expert in the eastern
question, makes a good point in this,
when they tell you that we have al
ready spent $1OOOOO,OOO and the lives
of many in the Philippines, you tell
them what say now, that it would
cost us millions and millions of dollars
and the lives of hundreds of thousands
to reclaim the prestige we would lose
in the Pacific and in the whole world
were we to depart now from the ISL
ands and leave undone our duties and
run away from our responsibilities"

SAVINGS BANKS.
Deposits and Number nf Deposifors Ar,
an Ind-x e ProsperiFy.

Deposits and Number nf Dsposifors Are
an Ind-x e Prosperity.
When we have good times, the
workingmen save money and put it
into savings banks. When dan times
come, much of this money has to be
drawn out to meet current expenses.
Hence, there is no more certain index
of the financial condition of the work
ing class than the reports of the saw
ings banks.
The comptroller OF the currency at
Washington has tabulated the figures
of all the savings banks Of the country
for the fiscal year ended June so last
and for the preceding year A COM
parison of the totals Of the two sets
of figures shows that the increase in
deposits last year exceeded s2OO,O0O,-
600, while the number Of deposltors
increased from 5,6S7, ,SlS to 6,202,779, a
gain OF 514,9G1.
The total deposits at this time ag-
grcgate 81. f3O, ,56l go. That the de-
positors are working people is shown
by the average deposits being but
1891 .S5. The gain in deposits and in
the number of depOsitors is not con-
fined to any section, as the following

These people are naturally interested
in the preservation of the present
prosperity. Hence they will not vote
for Bryan and free silver, which they
know will bring on another panic like
that of 1898. All of the Nebraskan's s
wild vaporings about Imperialism will
not change this determination.

with an earnest desire to do everything
in his power to protect foreigners in
the Chinese empire and confident that
he has no sympathy whatever with the
discretionary Boxer element the
State Department regards it as good
policy to facilitate, rather than OBJ
struct, his communications with the
Chinese viceroys
II there should be a declaration of
war by Russia upon China, based on
what is said to have occurred on the
Siberian border, the technical rela-
tons of the allied powers towards China
might, it Is said here,
Undergo "a Radical Change.
1t is believed that the story of Boxer
activity is considerably exaggerated so
far as 1t relates to the country north
of the Siberian border and it is hoped
that the troubles have been confined to
Manchuria. But if war should actual
ly and formally opened between Rus
STA and China, that fact might oblige
the other powers to do one of two
things-either join in the declaration
of war or withdraw their forces from
Chinese soil.
Developments in the military situa-
ton to-day were the formal designa-
ton of Brig. Gen. Chaffee as a major
general of volunteers, and making of
other arrangements for a prolonged
campaign on a large scale in China. The
officials hope that it will be short, but
they are preparing to send coal and
winter clothing
