gufrss Self Control,

Aaron Burr was by nature and train
ing a man Of extraordinary self con-
troll. He allowed no circumstances to
throw him off his balance. An nee.
dote told by Rufus Choate to Richard
Ii. Dana, recorded in Mr.. Daua'S "Dia-
ry." illustrates the callousness which
aided Burr so greatly in controlling
himself. Several years after the death
of Hamilton, killed by Burr in a duel,
Burr visited Boston, and MI. Devereux
of Salem paid him some attentions.
The visitor was taken to the Boston
Atheneum, where, while the two men
were walking through the gallery Of
sculpture, Mr.. Devereux happened to
catch sight of a bust of Hamilton.
The thought flashed across his mind
that Burr might not care to be con
fronted with the sight of the features
of the man he had slain. But no. Burr
was undisturbed. He also espied the
bust, and, although Mr.. Devereux had
instinctively turned away, he walked
up to it and said in a loud tone: "Ah!
Here is Hamiltonr' Then, passing his
fingers along certain lines of the face,
he added, '"There was the poetryv
Hamilton's contemporaries gave him
credit for possessing a poetic mind.

Postal Savings Banks.

It is good news that the establishment
OF postal savings banks is in sight On
January 3 the first business day Of the
New Year. II is announced that one postal
savings bank Will be opened in each State.
In the order from the Post-Ofice Depart
ment these are called experiment
Offices" though where the experiment
comes in, in an institution that has been
so wonderfully successful in Great Britain,
France, and Germany, we fail to see.
As matter of fact. the reason for
starting the new postal savings bank sys-
TEN in this country on so small a scale
is, probably, because Of the limited amount
OF money appropriated for the purpose.
The law calls for the establishment Of
these banks without limit. and although
there may be some lack OF understanding
over their conduct and purpose at first
We feel confident that they will be ex-
tended as fast as Congress appropriates
the necessary funds.
II We may judge from the success Of
these banks in Great Britain. it will not
be long until there is one Of them, at
least, in every county throughout the
United States; and we have no doubt that
the system will be found so economical
and so productive or good that before
very long every post-Ofice viii be equip
peed with the savings bank feature.
The one doubt that has been expressed
as 10 the usefulness of this savings sys-
tenn is the low rate or interest-only .
per cent-offered by the government. but
we DO not think that this objection
should be taken too seriously. The prime
good 10 be accomplished by postal saw
ings banks viii be inducements 10 saw
ing-by the ease with which il can be
accomplished-that will appeal 70 those
who never before have saved. Thrift is
a habit. and once that habit has been
formed and fostered by the postal savings
system the government may, with COM
placency see its postal depositors shift
over 70 the regular savings banks. To
create thrift where there was none be-
fore viii be sufficient justification.
In visible dividends the postal savings
banks may not make a very good or
startling exhibit, but the good will be
done, nevertheless. in the creation Of
more earnest, economical. and thoughtful
citizens.

Death of Mai. Huxford.

Maj W. P. Huxford. who has just
passed beyond, viii be sadly missed in
this national community. where much Of
his honorable. upright life was spent
For nearly a quarter OF a century
recorder of the Military Order Of the
Loyal Legion, he was a typical repre-
sentative of that splendid organization.
He bore the scars of actual warfare
carried the marks Of heroic service for
his country His was a brave part in
the dashing. resOlute Sheridan's cam
paign: and throughout the long but
peaceful years since intervening he was
a patient. suffering witness of what
courage and gallantry and patriotism in
those bitter days cost BuSahis heart
nourished no bitterness. TIC spirit of
good fellowship was ever within him; he
was full of brotherly love and human
kindness, and none rejoiced more than
he in the good understanding and pa
tiouc tolerance which came after be-
tween the valiant men Rf contending
armies and made for reunited Union
Mai. Huxford was a gentleman OF
lovable personality. kindly traits. and
charitable acts, modest. as are all men of
his heroic mold. affectionately esteemed
by veterans. and universally respected as
a worthy citizen. His death will be widely
and sincerely mourned.

No Downward Revision There.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Dividends and interest payments to the
security holders Of great corporations in
the United States will be about $4,000 900
more this month than the ike distribu-
ton Of profits last December. The in
crease is from sos, OO00 600 to Sll0,o00,0O0. The
rate of gain is nearly Is per cent
In the year now ending the interest
and dividend payments viii reach the
great aggregate of 81 49, sos, 00o The gain
over 1893 is about S1S5, 7S2, 900, which means
more than Is per cent.
These great sums, it should be under
stood. do not represent the interest and
dividends paid by all Of the corporations
in the United States. The figures given
cover only the larger and more conspic-
uous companies, such as are known and
TeCkOnCd with in the stock exchanges. 4
vast aggregate of dividends and interest
on bonds is distributed every year to
the owners of the securities Of a multi
tude of other companies, smaller or less

Grim Russian Tale.
ON the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Russian prison conditions are once more
illustrated by grim story which comes
from Astrakhan.
Long term prisoners in Russia have
what they call a convicts court. which is
a system or code of honor among them
selves, infringcments Of which are pun
ished by various forms Of torture There
is also a sentence of death. which in this
instance was pronounced for some offense
upon a fellow prisoner.
The mans throat was cut with piece
of glass. To conceal their deed the muir
derers hoisted the body 10 the barred
window. moving its arms about so as to
give the impression that a man was try

side saw the supposed fugitive and fred
three shots into him.
Afterward il was discovered by chance
that il was not the bullets that had
caused the mans death.

Why many women are unwilling to

yet been satisfactorily explained. but in

of that denomination is widespread and

Remains of John Paul Jones.

il is agreeable 10 note that the House
Naval Committee has called upon the
authorities OF the Naval Academy for
definite information concerning the plans
OF the crypt which 1t is proposed
10 construct in the chapel Of that instl-
tuition for the remains Of John Paul
Jones. This is d subject to which
We have made alIusion, prompted by an
estimate amounting TO $lS50O0 which
Congress has been asked for several
years TO appropriate, in furnishing what
is regarded by the naval authorities as
an adequate and appropriate resting
place for the historic bones. There is
no question that the remains Of this
hero, discovered in Paris and brought 10
this country through the generosity of
Gen. Horace Porter, should be fttingly
inferred. At present they are occupying
position under a public stairway Of the
large building at Annapolis used as the
dormftory and mess hall Of the midship-
men, II rs a sinsularly inappropriate
repository, and furnishes all the charac-
teristfcs Of the uncanny and grewsome.
At the same time, there is Justification
for the impression that an appropriation
OF SlG5,000 for the construction of a cr,pt
Tor the remains of John Paul Jones Is an
extravaganza which is not warranted by
any consideration of public sentiment for
the honored dead. Neither Is IL lacking

Two FEATHER BUSTERS.
Upon Saturday. December II. there ap-
peared in the Gazette-Times an editorial
Endorsement OF John r. Mclean for the
Ohio Senatorship. It identified him as the
Owner OF the Cincinnati Enquirer and
Washington Post II spoke OF his "sacri-
fees" for the party. but never alluded
to the Democratic notion that year after
year when John did not aspire 10 any
thing he sacrificed the party by the most
malevolent stiletto thrusts. 1t mentioned
him as "a man or large business affairs"
he is. for besides his two newspapers,
he owns a gas company, a traction road,
and large acreage in the National Capital
finely adorned with tenements- Mr.. Nc
Lean is indeed mUlti-millionaire and
I in ability, and socially in Washington,
since his marriage, ranks high.
But the further assertion of the Gazette
Times that his aspirations 10 a seat IN
the Senate have met with a surprisingly
favorable sentiment among his colleagues
Of the newspaper press is absolutely IN
tue. Scarcely Democratic or independ-
ent paper in the country has failed to de-
nounce his alien candidacy, and so posi-
tive and obstinate has been the opposl-
ton that he has inserted in his own paper
al Cincinnati the statement that he was
not a candidate. But he is, of course,
in the receptive and sly way.
Upon Sunday, December y, the Gazette
Times printed as a clipping from the
| Washington Post an editorial felicitation
Of Senator Oliver with some startling dis
| coveries as 70 his great services during
the two years Of his appointive term in
| behalf OF steel and its protective SEIZED
ules Would it require more than an
amateur Conan Doyle to detect the nu-
| tual tickling with feathers in these two
| panegyrics upon great statesmen? We
| confess TO have overlooked the Oliver
eulogy, and hence cannot specify the
! date OF its appearance. Did we know
| that precise day it could be surmised
| whether there had been any arrangement,
any entente cOrdiale, between the two
/ SAT- liltlllS anu tliilhl4ll Statesmen ana
publcists 10 tickle each other on con-
secutive days
| Perhaps the use OF the feather busters
was spontaneous and the dual outburst
of praise solely induced by the brilliant
| coruScauons OF either in the domains
Of steel, or Washington gas and traction
stocks. Hence it is only left 10 record the
! amazing friendship of the David and
Jonathan, the George and John. We
think George has the bulge on John, how
ever as 10 the Senate. He is going back,
while il would be a miracle if John ever
got there. But we must not forget, be-
| fore concluding, that the clipping from
the Washington Post made by the Ca
zette-Times, specifies the former as an
! independent paper" Oh. is it? Then
does a resident in Washington. who runs
an independent paper think himself
eligible to be a Democratic Senator from
Ohio? The Washington Post is a Repub-
lican paper When administrations are
Republican Washington papers generally
are Republican, though independent as
