ONE EFFECT.

It is an interesting and suggestive
 fact that New York savings banks are feeling the effects of the multitude of strikes in that city, as is evidenced by the fact that the first of July withdraw als of deposits this year by the laboring classes have been uncommonly and mo- tably large. On the first few days of July each year the withdrawals always exceed the deposits. Work is usually duller in the summer and money is also taken out to use for vacation purposes. Hence the excess of the withdrawals.
 But this year the withdrawals at the New York banks have been so large as
 to excite attention and surprise. In drawn out has been the largest on rec ord. Nor is this unusual outge peculiar
 to the savings banks in the city of New
 York alone, for upon enquiry it is found
 that most of the savings institutions of
 the State report a similar unusual July
 drain. Upon investigation the cause of
 the trouble has been found and proves
 to be due to labor agitation and strikes,
 and consequent lack of employment.
 The president of one of the larger banks
 says on the subject: Tt looks as though a great many of the unemployed had run up accounts with various store
 keepers, not caring to take money from the savings banks until interest was written up on July 1. As soon as it was possible for them to make withdrawals people have done so. The result has been to largely increase the excess of withdrawals over deposits in nearly all the savings banks of this city. Of course the figures are not large, but arc such as to show that the unemployed have been compelled in many instances to make threads upon their savings in order to live and meet their obliga- tions."
 In the case of five of the large sav-
 ings banks of New York city almost half million dollars more was drawn out during the first three days of July this year than during the same time last year-quite an imposing sum of l money--and mostly withdrawn by the small depositors.
 This state of things was well illus
 trated during the great coal strike of
 last year, when the thrifty miners who

LAW AND ANARCHY.

In these days of Iynchings, north as we'll as south. and of mobs everything and defying the law, the noble stand taken by Governor Durbin of Indiana relative to the Evansville tragedy ap- peals at once to all who uphold law and order. His message everything the or der of Judge Rasch that Lee Brown, the negro murderer whom the Evansville mob wished to lynch, be returned to that city for immediate trial, has the true ring of justice-loving executive. The murderer lay in jail badly wounded and likely to die from his wounds, and was therefore unfit to be brought into a court room for trial. Further Governor Durbin in his message said: Nor do l desire to compromise for moment with the mob spirit. Let this man be tried as speedily as his condition will permit under the safeguard prescribed by our laws. If guilty, he will pay the penalty of murder with him life. If at any stage of the procedure it shall appear that there are those in your city who desire to deprive 1t of it's efforts to exercise the function conferred by the people, then the State will be ready to give further demonstration of it's disposition and it's ability to do with rioters as they de- serve."2 E+ '--
 @ Governor Durbin is the right man ill the right place. How he stands for the supremacy of the law as against an- archy is further admirably shown in his address read for him by member of his staff in his unavoidable absence, at the state encampment of the Sons of Veterans at Peru. In it he says: ''The man who joins in the senseless savagery of the mob is trampling under his feet the flag for which your fathers offered up their lives. is hurling himself in- sensately against the barriers which centuries of civilization have erected be- tween brute force and human rights. The men who, inspired by the stupid passion of race hatred, would prescribe the halter and the torch for an entire race because individuals of this race sometimes commit offences for which our laws prescribe befitting penalties, have not within them spark of that regard for the rights Of the weak which made this republic possible. Sons of Veterans. we will have no race wars, no class wars in Indiana. To all citi- zens, regardless of color or condition, impartial justice shall be meted out, upon all guilty of crimes the penalties prescribed by law shall be promptly yis- tied. and he who goes to war in Indiana, no matter what his pretext, must fight under the red flag of anarchy and against the invincible flag of seventy millions of American freenen.."
 These are ringing words and true. Either the law or anarchy must pre- vail. The provocation at Evansville was great. Lee Brown has no sympathy from any one. He is a type of the low negro ruffians of Evansville to whom politicians had truckled when they wanted the negro vote. But when it comes to deciding between law and an- archy in this country there can be but one course.

STRIKES ARE VERY COSTLY.

The New England cotton workers who have been out
of employment since March 80 have returned to work,
and the strike has been declared OFF 1t is estimated that
the loss in wages to the 600 employees has been some
thing like 100000.
The loss to labor because of strikes is something
enormous According the report of the United States
commissioner Of labor there were during the period from
1881 to 1900 22793 strikes affecting 1859 establish
throwing of employment total of 61O5694
persons. The average duration Of these strikes
little than twentthree days and the loss in
was $257 AS Other workmen who had employment
financial assistance to the strikers to the amount of
$16174 93 making the total loss to labor s27403S2
Had all of these strikes succeeded labor might have

Her loneliness never knew
Until she smiled on me.
