Saturday night. A woman seems to
have been the cause of the trouble.
Finley claims that he shot his brother
in-law Is self defence, but from what
can be gathered elsewhere than
from Finley, the murderer will have
a pretty hard time proving that he
shot in self defence.

President Roosevelt will be his own
successor without an effort, unless his
highly satisfactory administration is
marred during the coming year by some
act of imprudence which he does not
seem capable of committing. The
votes of enough states are already
pledged to give him the nomination by
IA big margin. From the present out
look the campaign of 1904 will be de-
cidedly one sided. However, it will
not be tame should Bryan again lead
the opposing forces. Billy knows how
to warm it up, if he isn't success as a
vote getter.

The amount ef deposits in the savings
banks Of the state of New York at this
time is over 81 100000 900, the increase
during the past ten years having heen
in excess of S400,000,00 These depos-
its are chiefly from wage earners in the
cities. Remarking upon this, au east
ern paper says it has been for some
time apparent that if there could be
devised Il system that would be con-
vcuient for those who live in the so. called
rural districts the savings would be
considerably larger. England meets
this need through the establishing of
her postal savings banks. These are in
every postotiice in the kingdom
Therefore it happens that the number of
depositors, through England in these
postal savings banks is, proportionatelv
TO the depositors, much greater than is
the case in New York state. "If some
m thod could be perfected" says this
paper, "by which those who live in the
farming districts were able to deposit
their small savings, it is estimated that
the total savings each year would be in.
creased several million dollars. There
would be no great difficulty in devsiug
perfectly practicable postal savings
hank system, ana no class of our people
would more readily avail themselves OF
1t than those in the rural communities
The tendencies of such systom, as has
frequently been pointed out, would be

generally, because it would assure ab
soute safety. The English system is
most satisfactory in its operations, ant
