killed by the fall of a balloon which
assembled to-day in the presence of King

A fine northerly wind was blowing when
the balloon started. and within five min
utes it had travelled four miles and
reached the height of Two miles, when it
suddenly exploded.
The balloon, fortunately, acted like a
parachute. and Captain Unge and his
companion reached the ground unhurt>
The car dropped at a terrific rate in

The explosion was caused by a too quick

SAV WINGS BANKS.

BY the passage Of the bill at the last session
Of the legislature taxing the surplus of savings
banks, there has been added 10 the revenues
Q; the State about 100000. The savings banks
deposits represent the accumulation of many
thousands Of depositors New-York has wisely
safeguarded the investments for such funds, but
has ADDED little to their scope In these days
when the rate of interest is growing smaller for
first class securities. particularly those upon
which savings banks are permitted to make
loans. the returns are necessarily small, ana
they Will probably continue TO grow smaller as
the long term, high rate interest bonds mature.
Under the present law il is not possible for
savings banks TO loan upon real estate greater
value than 10 per cent. When. therefore, other
investors are willing to lend TO the extent OF on
or 40 per cent on such valuations. they naturally
lose investments which might otherwise come 10
thern. The margin between the mortgage ana
me real value Of property, 1t seems, might pos
sibly be essened.
Our savings institutions have been judiciously
managed. but few failures have resulted and the
interests OF the deposltors are cared tor IN such
q way as 10 prevent any great loss. whether,
therefore, il is possible TO increase the per
centage upon which loans may be made with
safety is subject for your consideration. IL II
can be so demonstrated, and If IL meets with the
approval Of the savings banks officials should
cordially cooperate with and approve such leg
islation upon your part.
II has been stated that the recently imposed
tax upon the surplus Of savings institutions
@iil compel reduction Of the rate Of interest 20
oepCsitors from 10 o3z per cent The tax I'M
poked Is less than one mill The total deposits
are about $500 900 600. The revenue amounts to
about 100000 reduction of one-half of per
cent in the interest rate would mean a reduc-
non il the total amount of interest paid TO de-
positors of about S4 800 900 and deducting from
mat the amount OF tax paid TO the State would
leaye as the net gain OF the institutions through
S1ch reduction OF the interest rate the sum or
about 81. 800 900
~ VIII, therefore. be that the attempt 10
plsee the responsibility upon the State for the
+Quction Of the interest rate is not borne out by
MS statement provided uniform reduction of
oit-half Of per cent is made as the depositors

ELECTIONS.

Inc change from spring to fall elections in the
towns of the State. and the law which provides
Tor different ballots for State and town officers
mas resulted Al nearly every county In a great
loss or votes through the failure of the electors
TO vote all tickets presented to them Thou
sands of so-caed defective ballots resulted
from this cause. This is not as it should be.
NO one should be embarrassed or hindered by
having SO many tickets to examine and mark
as at present. AS is well known. the constItu-
tional ballot was voted at the late election by
small proportion of the electors. The so-C-aIled
detectVe ballots, and the scratching of tickets
are liable to cause serious complications at
times. This is unfortunate, for the validity of
a ballot must be passed upon by people who
apt to be biassed one way or the other in their
Judgment 1t would seem that a liberal
Interpretation should be given to what Is to
be considered a marked ballot and also that not
more than one ballot should be submitted for
all candidates to be voted for by the electors
l recommend, therefore, amendment TO the
law which will provide for the placing of the
names of all candidates upon a single ticket,
and that what constitutes a marked ballot be
more clearly defined.
do not wish to be understood advocating
the repeal of any section of the law which
would make ii possible to identify ballots, but
only more liberal Interpretation of what may
be the intent of the voter who has yet to learn
that to scratch the name of a candidate spoils
his whole vote. This subject is that should
receive your careful consideration.
