The mutual savings bank,
which hold eighty-fve per cent
of the total savings deposits Of
the country and are among the
very best institutions of their
kind in the world, have upward
of three billions of deposits in
vested roughly as follows: in
real-estate mortgages and leans
secured by real-estate mortgag-
es, forty-three per cent; in rail-
road, street-car and like bonds,
twenty-six per cent; in public
bonds state, municipal, and the
like-twenty-three per cent; de-
posted in commercial banks,
four per cent; dead cash in
vaults, one-haIf of one per cent.
The House might have studied
that example of successful saw
,ings-bank management to better
advantage. The postal-savingS
bill which it passed is by no
means ideal Nevertheless the
bill proposes to set up a system
of postal-savings banks that
ought to be workable, and that
after all is the great point. Sat

Bryan and the Senate.

The opposition to Bryan going
to the senate is not confined to
the people of Nebraska.
Really, the controlling infu-
ence against Bryan emlnates
from the great commercial CEN
ters-the trusts and predatory
wealth of the United States
those distinguished captains of
finance will do anything beneath
the stars to keep Bryan out of
the senate.
There is nothing today which
the interests are watching SO
carefully as they are the person
ell of the American house of
ds.-The Issue.
We don't believe there is a
member of the senate who would
not gladly welcome Bryan to
membership of that body in pref
erence to any other Nebraska
Democrat. We speak advisedly
in regard to this. for we had oc-
casion while connected with that
body to note his great personal
popularity with senators of both
parties. When in Washington
he invariably visits his old
''tramping ground" F." the House,
and going from there to the Sen
ate, his appearance in the mar
BILE room is signalized by a gen.
eral reception in which the glad
hand" is extended as often by
stalwart Republicans as by Dem
ocrats. They all like Bryan,
They recognize in him a patriot
ic, conservative statesman
Republicans a frank, manly foe
man, worthy of their steel; the
Democrats a great leader in the
practical issues most prominent
before the country.
AS to that designation Amer
lean house Of lords" there was
never worse application OF
terms. It is the freest and most
thoroughly democratic organiza-
ton in the world, and the only
one in which all men, of all cali
bres, are no equal terms. and ac-
corded the consideration to
which their merits entitle them,
fact MIR. Vardaman will be
quick to discover and concede if
he ever attains membership.

Teddy Roosevelt, the Georgian.

That wild Georgian, Theodore
Roosevelt, is home again, and
was accorded a grand reception
when he landed in New York
that South-tempered and toned
city of the east, that was kept in
line by Federal gunboats and
soldierY during the war between
the states. Roosevelt is an ab-
normal product of America con-
glOmeratiOn. His father was a
phlegmatic Eollander by descent
and transmitted nature, his
mother was an enthusiastic Geor-
gia woman, whose sympathies
marched with Lee and Jackson
and rode with Forrest, Hamp-
ton and Jeb Stewart, along with
her playmates, classmates and
kinnery.
When on one occasion Gotham
was startled by the announce
ment of a Confederate victory,
she appeared on the gallery of
her home waving Southern
battlefag, whereat the populace
because Exceeding wroth" and
the air grew lurid with the fires
Of explosive Indignation. But
Roosevelt pere calmed the storm
by explaining to the mob the ma
ture of this woman, and that
though she rendered him the ap-
pie, he did not eat, but on the
other hand went shaking for the
snake with lead bruising heel.
In all his ways, widely diverg-
ing from those Of his neighbors;
in all of his thoughts and stiff
neckedness, Theodore has proven
the mothers boy" and only a
Hollander in his adherence to the
doctrines of the old Dutch
church.
If he had been old enough in
the days when his mother lived
and ruled war was raging we be-
lieve he would have gone through
the lines to join his Georgia kim
merry in the Southern army.
After the war and after his
mothers death, he naturally
took color from his surroundings,
and enlisting with the victors in
spirit followed the traditional
rule in that he ''out-Heroded
Herod." Falling in with virule,
vituperative and talented Lodge
of Massachusetts, they colabor-
ated in abuse Of Jefferson Davis
to supply a palpable literary de-
mand of the times; and charmed
with this new elixir became in
toXicated with his own vintage.
But there is too much Georgian
in him to admit of hamper or
leading strings, and he has come
to his own with a hand shake all
round for everybody, and a
reach that spans everything
from the tomb of King Edward
to the pugs in training on the
shore of the Pacific. Aberdeen

Anent the late secret ~ eau
Gus, Speaker Street writes the
following letter to the Meridian
Dispatch:
On January II, 1894. Gen. E.
C.. Walthall resigned his seat in
the United States Senate. Gov
ernor Stone received the registra-
ton and sent it to the legislature
January 18th. The fight opened
at once. The candidates were
Stone, Lowry, Campbell, Taylor,
Allen and McLaurin. Stone was
recognized as the strong man
and the one the others feared.
The silver question was just be-
ginning to loom up. It was
known Stone favored sound
money. In order to handicap
him a resolution was introduced
in the caucus requiring the can
didates to answer the question,
DO you approve Georges and
Walthall's course on the silver
question?.' DR.. Kiern offered
to amend by asking, do you ia
Vor the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to
II" This produced some con-
sternation in the ranks and Or.
Kern was persuaded to with
draw the amendment on the
grounds that it would be defeat
ed and result in injury to their
cause. A substitute was then
offered by Stones friends MAX
ing the question read: DO you
favor the free coinage of silver
at such a ratio that gold and sill
yer dollars will be Of equal val
ue in the markets of the world?"
This substitute was lost by tie
vote and the original resolution
adopted by a small majority.
When the time came to answer,
Stone declared for sound money
and withdrew from the contest.
The caucus of course included
none but Democrats, C. M.
Williamson. Judge Wiley Potter,
Judge Roane, Col. Falkner, DR..
Broyles, w. w. Heidelberg, B.
D. Simpson, Col. ], R. Binford,
James K. Vardaman, and others
of less note, including the writer,
were there.
The voting in caucus was all
done by ballot, My recollection
is that no other method of vot-
ing was proposed. Failing to
nominate before the day for vot-
ing for Senator by the legisla-
ture, resolution was introduced
and adopted to scatter the votes
in the joint convention so as to
prevent an election until a eau
Gus nomination was made. Some
members continued to vote for
their favorite candidate while
others followed the caucus rule.
l broke over once and voted for
the beloved and lamented Robert
Lowry. Gov. Vardaman voted
seven times for six outsiders and
was absent once. He received
his first vote for United States
Senator under this caucus rule.
John Allen withdrew before
the first vote was taken in the
legislature. 1t was then the
field against McLaurin. Every
effort was made to unite the op-
position but without success.
Factional lines were not as tight
ly drawn as now, and McLaurin
was nominated by a secret bal
lot. receiving a majority of six
teen votes.
Gov. Stones friends protested
against the tactics used against
him but they reconized the prin-
ciple of majority rule and grace
fully accepted the situation. The
only difference between the eau
Gus of 1894 and that of 1910 was
the printed ballot in the latter.

EUREKA WORKING STEADILY.

For some time past the Eureka
mine and mill have been working
steadily, one shift. at the mine and
two at the mill. The mill is doing ex-
cellent work, handling between %
and 80 tons in "a hours. The saving
Of values is fully up to the expect
ations of the company. This is from
85 to 81 per cent. From the run of
the past eight days 43 ounces in re-
torts were cleaned up from the
plates. During this time "A tons of
concentrates were made and these
will average between 5000 and $1,000
ton. The ore in the crude that is
being treated by the mill assays from
$500 to $1,000 to the ton. There is
an immense quantity of the stuff
broken in the Bird, 4th and 9Th lev
els. The ore bodies from which this
was broken vary in width from two
to eight feet. VIM. Bray is superin-
tendent of the mine and Frank Gra-
ham has charge of the mill. This is
an experienced and competent team
and it is not surprising that the Eu.
reka property looks most promising
under their superior direction.

STRIKE NATIVE SILVER ORE.

encountered 400 feet in the tunnel

to this time nothing but development
work has been carried on, but now
that rich values have been struck an
attempt at an output will be made.

property, down 20 feet From this ore
was taken out which sold for sS0O.0O
a ton. When the tunnel is in 900
feet, the depth attained will be 500
feet, and will place the operators in

CHEMISTRY A FAs-
cINATINo FIELD.

A good report from the State
School Of Mines is in circulation. The
reputation Of the school is attested
by the large attendance from without
the state. Even China has a repre-
sentation Of ten pupils. But there has
been a falling off of scholars from
within the state, due it is stated, to
a lack of interest in things mining
in the state. That should not deter
any one from gaining a knowledge Of
the mining industry. Chemistry is a
study that will always command the
highest wage by thorough investi-
gator. This branch has hardly been
in existence long enough to prove its
great necessity in any field of re-
search. To be able to determine ac-
curately the constituents OF many
things is to establish reputation
equal to no other calling or profes-
sion. To determine the makeup Of
most anything should stamp the in
dividual one possessed Of high intel
lectual attainments. There are few
scientists compared with those who
have a smattering Of the difficult but
fascinating study Of chemistry. The
Germans are in the forefront in so
far as the solving of many import
ant things of, commercial worth.
France follows with a woman leading
who aided in the discovery Of rad
ium. England must come next.
All these countries should be in a
class below what America could do
in the way Of discoveries by chem
istry. There Is so much native ma
terial that could be worked. Why it
is not undertaken must be answer
ed that the American would not seem
to be a detail man. They do not care
to undertake the slow process Of de-
veloping things. They are all for
quick returns with the intricate and
painstaking eliminated.
A thorough chemist would make an
equally good mineralogist or geolo-
gist. There ought to be no falling off
in attendance of home students, for
much is still before the graduate, in
proof Of which 1t is to cite the seem
ing lack Of understanding OF the
rocks in various properties. The OK
ides. chlorides. sulphides and car
Donates Of minerals open an inviting
field for the investigator. To make
a discovery determining the value of
an ore that had been thrown on the
reputation equal to any in the ac-
quired professions.

Besides the mill dirt regular ship
ments of iron of a hgih grade are

made the shipment from the Perigo

them splendid profit, have been
doing dead work which will enable
them to send their ore through the

ore and after Christmas they will be
