A TREASURE DEPARTURE.

According to Washington reports Sec
rotary Shaw proposes to make a very
decided departure in the policy of the
Treasury department. This Is nothing
less than accepting securities other than
government bonds for the deposit of
public money with the banks. The law
provides that national banks may be
made repositories of public money by
giving satisfactory security "by the de-
post of government bonds and other
wise" Hitherto this has been construed
to mean only the bonds of the United
States, but it is said that Secretary
Shaw is of the opinion that the law
means that he has the alternative to
take bonds or other securities and that
he has in mind to accept municipal and
other securities from national banks
where government moneys are to be
deposited.
Perhaps this Interpretation of the law
is correct, but it may fairly be doubted
whether it was the intention of congress
that any other than government bonds
should be accepted for deposits of pub
lii. funds and 1t seems unlikely that the
secretary of the treasury will make so
radical a departure from the established
policy of the department without ex-
plicit authority from congress. Unques-
tionably there are state and municipal
securities which are entirely safe, but
only government bonds were contem-
plated in the act of congress and only
such security should be accepted until
congress orders otherwise.

When anyone tells you that Mercer
has done such wonderful things in the
way of appropriations for Omaha, re-
member that John A. McShane during
a single term in congress secured
$1,2O0,OO0 for the federal building, while
Mercer during five terms in congress
has secured altogether $1,OOO,O15 OF
appropriations for public buildings in
Omaha and South Omaha, including
the new quartermaster's warehouse
and the Transmississippi exposition and
Indian congress.

II is reported from Washington that the
Postoflce department will this year come
pretty near to making both ends meet.
The tendency has been in the direction Of
s~olvency for some time. The returns up
to June 80 are not yet complete and the
actual deficit is based on estimates for the
business Of the last quarter. still an un-
known quantity. There was a deficit Of
SS,e47, 900 for the first quarter, but the sec
ond and third quarters shove each a
surplus, and an excess Of receipts over ex-
pendttures amounting to 81, 339, 900 for the
last three quarters is looked for. This
would make the ret deficiency for the
fiscal year about 81, 307, 900.

How to BE a Centennrian.
Harper's

The advice of Mr.. Ralph Bullock of Fort
Hamilton, who celebrated his 104th birth
day recently, is like that Of all other CEN
tenarians who give counsel on the art OF
attaining the age Of 100 years. 1t is in
substance this: Have a good heredity and
don't worry" The secret Of the thing is
simple: First make a judicious selection
Of grandparents, and then choose conditions
Of life which are smooth, ~restful, never
irritating or exhausting. These prime con-
dltions fulfilled. II does not matter greatly
what you eat or drink, where you live or
what occupation you follow.

MASSACHUSETTS, DEMOCRATS.

While the democracy Of Massachusetts,
does not constitute a particularly Impor-
tant factor in the politics of the coun-
try, 1t is yet interesting to note that the
party In that state has repudiated the
Kansas City platform, at least so far
as the silver question is concerned. This
action puts Organism in the rear SO far
as the expressions Of democratic conven-
lions this year are concerned, although
the peerless leader" has by no means
been utterly ignored. Some thirteen
states have Endorsed or reafhrmed the
Kansas City platform, while fifteen or
sixteen have ignored or repudiated it,
so that the Bryanites are not so far be-
hind that they may not claim to still
have a voice In democratic councils.
However, they are manifestIy a d.
minishing quantity. with every proba.
bility that they will continue to decline
In influence. The proceedings of the
Massachusetts, convention shows how
utterly weak the Bryan influence has
become in that state and may fairly be
accepted as an example Of its decline
throughout New England. for while II
is true that the democrats Of Maine in,
dorsed the last national democratic
platform. in view Of the decrease In the
vote OF the party in that state
it is safe to say 1t will not
repeat the mistake. The Bryanites
in the Massachusetts, convention were
overwhelmed and 1t can be confidently
predicted that they will not hereafter
constitute a political factor Of any con.
sequence in that state while the ex

DETROIT SHOCKED BY
TWO BRUTAL MURDERS
Miss Carrie NJ. J0lnett and George
Henry Haywood Were Found Dead
on Sidewalks Thursday.
WHILE RETURNING FROM LODGE
The Former Was Stabbed and
Clubbed.
TWO SUSPECTS ARE UNDER ARREST

Detroit, Mich, April 10.-The most
brutal murder in recent years in this
city was committed on Thirteenth
street between Antoinetta street and
.MeGraw avenue last night. A young
girl, who was identified this morning
as Carrie NJ. Jennett of 1871 Wabash
avenue, daughter of James II. Jen-
nett cabinetmaker, was stabbed and
pounded to death. Her throat was cut
from ear to ear, knife was thrust into
her brain and dent in her forehead
showed that she had been dubbed.
A resident of the neighborhood, Harry
Jewel, notified the police. He says u
moan first attracted his attention to
the crime, as he walked along McGraw
avenue. Looking across the lots, he
saw man striking at something on
the sidewalk. Jewcll's footsteps on the
boardwalk alarmed the murderer who
ran away. Jewell hid behind house,
and the murderer returned to complete
his bloody work. From his place Of
concealment Jewell could hear the thud
OF the murderer's weapon as it fell on
the girls body. When the deadly work
was completed, and while the unknown
murderer was running away, Jewell
hastened for assistanceI He notified
the police, who found the girl dead.
Miss JennetJ last night attended o
meeting of Rebekah lodge o branch
Of the Odd Fellows) in hall not far
from where she was murdered. She
was organist of the lodge, and is said
to have been cheerful and even gay ut
the meeting. She remained until 10
O'Clock, and made report relative to
her share in the lodge work. At 10
O'Clock she arose and said: II don t
see what further Use you have for me,
and | guess II go home. - wait for
us, and you'll have. company, said one
| OF those present. But the girl insisted
on going and went away alone. The
others stayed until ii o'clock.
The father and mother of the muir
dered girl sat up late for her return,
but finally went to bed, leaving the
door unlocked. When they arose this
morning, they found that Carries bed
was untouched. The father hastily left
the house, and on the street met q
married sister of the dead girl, who
informed him that Carrie had been
murdered. The aged man then went
to the morgue, and identified the
mangled and bloody body as that Of
his daughter.
The spot where Miss Jennett was
murdered was peculiarly adapted tc
the awful crime The nearest electric
light is three blocks away, and there
is not house in the block.

NATIONAL COUNCIL WINS.


Decision in Junior o. U. A. NJ. Insurance
suit.
A dispatch from Trenton, N j.,
says: Chancellor Magic has fled an
opinion in the suit involving the con
troversy between the National Council
Junior Order United American Me-
chanics and the New Jersey State
Council of that body. The decision,
while on subsidiary point, discusses
the merits of the controversy and is
victory for the national tody. The
case was before the Chancellor on
motion to set aside an order restrain
ing the State Council from disposing
of the money i'd had collected as per
capita tax, but which it refused to pay
over to the national officers. The State
Council insisted that this money was
to be diverted to an insurance branch
and that this branch had been estab-
lished through an illegal method in
the changing of the national consti-
tuition.
The Chancellor holds that the fact
that this money was to be used for an
Insurance. branch was not established
by proper proof. Counsel for the
national body says that he takes the
decision to mean that the State body
will have to pay over to the national
body the PER capita tax and then fight
out the insurance question in sub
