CRY readers. It always has the news
Numbering at its back"

We trust that none of our Demo-
cratic friends will be offended at our
references to the county convention,
or conventions, held here last Satur-
day. They are meant in kindness,and
since we must have two parties, we
would prefer to see our friends the
other way abide in peace and harmony
Under our system of government con-
ventions are necessary and, no matter
by which party held, should be con-
Quoted with fairness TO all parties in
terested. But, no matter how great
the issues involved, there is never
enough at stake TO warrant personal
difficulties among friends and broth
ers. At the times of excitement, when
passion sways the crowd, those engag-
ed should never forget that the con-
vention, with its issues, no matter
whom they involve, are only of the
hour, while the participants must live
and move in the same community,per-
haps, for life time.

THIS PAPER AND HARTFORD
COLLEGE.

We come to our readers this week
with the largest paper ever issued in
Hartford, in order that we may feature
Hartford College, and still give our
readers, who may not be so directly
interested in the school, their usual
amount of reading matter. And, yet,
almost all our readers are more or
less affected by the success or fail
ure of this institution of learning.
They either have relatives now in
school, or come in contact in the va
rious relations in life with those. who
have at some time been students with
in her walls. Hartford College, through
long line of able and efficient teach
ers has made Hartford the Athens of
Western Kentucky. We glory in the
good work already accomplished, and
the large number of polished men and
women. which this school has given
to our country. Present conditions
warrant our high anticipations for the
future. 1t has never been under bet
ter manag ement. with a president
abreast OF the times who knows that
ne age demands thoroughness in ed
ucation, perhaps more than at any
period in the worlds history. He
brings To each department systematic
cooperation, and instills into both
teacher and pupil the necessity for in
dustry, and a relaxation of the fact
that education requires a continuous
pursuit.
May the years to come bring still
better equipment and facilities for
taking care of the mental training of
the boys and girls of our county and
adjoining counties. This paper is for
our school, and believes that there
is no excuse for parents TO send
their sons and daughters to distant
cities TO find no better training than
can be found at home, among their
friends and acquaintance, who will
surely give them more encouragement
than they would likely meet with
among strangers.

Postal Savinus Banks

Not only is aostmaster-General Meyer in favor of establishing in this country parcels post, but he is also an earnest advocate of system which extends government care and supervl- sion to the savings of the people. He declares in the course of a recent 1n- terview that he will lay the latter sub feet before Congress and will urge the passage of postal savings bank bill. Doubtless the President is in accord with him on this subject
 The plan looks 10 the establishment of postal banks in connection with postoffices. MT. Meyer proposes that the government pay ? per cent interest on deposits, and he also proposes to limit the sum that can be deposited by any one person.
 Postal savings banks are not a bit tentative. Other countries have long had them, and all countries that have them could not be induced to abolish them. simply because they promote thrift among the people, and they tend to put all available money in cir culation, even when the limit on an individual deposit is $250.
 Congress will be asked to enact the needful legislation next winter, and public sentiment should make itself felt, for selfish interests will certainly object to an extension of the public service to savings. MT. Meyer Is pre- pairing a plan, and he will soon no doubt lay it before the people for con sideration. He hopes to secure their support of the proposed service.

THE GUlLLOTlNE.

From the Boston Post.
 The broad question of the abolition of the death penalty in France has been brought to the front by the act of Pres ident Fallieres in committing to life i'm prisonment the sentence passed upon the murderer Solellant It was a bestial crime, and the president frankly avows that he can find not the slightest extenuating circumstance, but he commutes the sen tence out of fidelity to the belief, which he has held for thirty years, that the imposition of the death penalty is detri- metnal to public morals.
 Of the political press, the radical and socialist stand by President Fallieres, acommend it as an act of public con science, and quote Victor Hugo's denunci- ations of capital punishment. On the other hand, criticism is quick to point out that the president has exceeded his prerogative in abrogating law on gen eral principles. proclaimlng on his per sonal authority the suspension of the death penalty which the parliament has refused to abolish.
 The opinion is widely prevalent that this action of the French president means the abolition of the gullotine in France. It is unlikely that this will be brought about at once by legislation. so strong is the feeling in opposition, but that for the present 1t must rest upon executive clemaprv
