Some Tired Of Suffrage.

will not take the trouble To go ~ the polls
in 1870. They have found out all ahuu. it,.
The novelty has worn OH. They take little

If the question Of woman suffrage WAS re-

vote into the political situation has brought
about an uncertainty and disturbance ~

Idaho Nomen's First Vote.
In Idaho II may be expected that a large
proportion OF the women will vote at the

being the first exercise II their privilege in

its sympathies shall not be- broken until
the last moment and until after the vote

tho church exercised its Influence. As 4
rule the Mormon leaders are prone to side
with, the party in power. In 1895 it was
generally believed I'm the West that Bryan
would be elected and the church influence
was Democratic. This year Mormon lead
ers are showing strong inclinations toward
the Republican party.
In wyoming the women follow the ma
;ural influences of their domestic life and
their ballots are distributed proportion

throughout the four States the women
are organized into Republican and Demo
cratic clubs. and it will he found that tho
officers OF these clubs are. as n rule. the
same women prominent heretofore In

There is a general apathy among the
women of all these States as to the out

Public School Savings Bank.


A public school savings bank will be
started In the schools OF this borough
next Monday. March 5th, and we pub
lish a few facts concerning the system,
as follows:
A great majority Of the children in
every community know nothing of han
ding money except to spend IT for the
sake Of gratifying the capriccs Of the
moment. Improvidcncc Is one OF the
greatest evils OF the present day and
hence whatever tends to the habit Of
earning and saving money will be Of
incalculable benefit. Furthermore. as
the parent and teacher work together
In the education Of the child, the con-
clusion is reasonable that both can best
encourage the habits Of frugality.
II Is generally admitted that the
money accumulated through industry
and self denial is of more account to a
person than that easily obtained. II
this is true OF the adult 1t is surely the
case with the child
The system will give to the pupil an
idea Of his own Importance and capaci-
ties, and make him party to his own
Improvement in this as in other lines Of
education. 1t will inspire and develop
habits OF thrift and frugality, which
contribute largely to successful life.
1t is not the purpose of the system to
induce large individual deposits, but
rather To encourage the largest number
to become depositors in some amounts;
and the deposits are made in such a
manner as TO preclude a disclosure to
the pupils Of the amount deposited in
dividually. The experience Of the
schools in which the system has been
tried shows no tendency towards injuri-
GUS rivalries among the pupils.
No serious interruption of the ordi-
nary work Of the school will result, in
asmuch as ten minutes on each Monday
morning of the school term will be suf-
fcient time for receiving the deposits
from the pupils. The details of the
work Will be as follows, viz:
Every Monday morning deposits will
be received from the pupils by the
teacher, each depositor receiving credit
upon weekly card with which he is
furnished. This card is always present
ed when deposit is made.
The whole amount received by the
teacher is given monthly to the person
authorized to receive IL.
Any amount from one cent upward
will be received by the teacher and
when pupil has deposit Of one dol
lar or more, he will be provided with a
bank book, by the bank, free OF charge.
On the last Monday OF each month of
the school term, the teacher through
the person authorized to receive the
| deposits, will furnish the Bank with a
list Of their respective schools, showing
the amount deposited by each pupil,
which will thereupon be placed to their
credit on the books Of the Bank.
No money can be withdrawn from the
Bank except upon check duly signed
| by the pupil, and having the approval by
signature, of the parent or guardian,
and the teacher.
Deposits of $l.00 and upwards will
bear interest from the Bank at the
rate of per cent. per annum.
The adoption of a system Of savings
by public schools has been urged
for some time by prominent edu-
Gators, philanthropists and others, who
take an intelligent view Of the tenden.
cies of our times.
