H POSTAL BANK,

1t is gratifying to know that q
postal savings bank Is about to be
opened in this city. While we have
excellent financial institutions, this
city has a large foreign population
who have always been taught to put
their dependence in the government.
The enormous deposits which
have been made in these postal
banks in other cities, without effect
ing the old established banks, shows
plainly the d~esirability of this new
arrangement and we believe that,
with a postal bank in Perth Amboy.
1t will aid rather than injure the
other banking houses.
We have just passed through a
crisis in which a so-called private
bank has failed, causing many of
the depositors who were almost ex-
clusively foreigners. to lose much of
their savings. Other banks of this
kind have also failed at various
times, showing that they are a risky
proposition for the wage earners.
The people who p~atronize these
places will make up largely the de-
positors with the postal bank.
We believe the postal bank will
become decidedly popular in Perth
Amboy. At the postofice the for
eigner will learn the principles of
banking and gradually will become
familiar with the ways of other first
class banking houses and In that
way learn to use them, whereas
without the postal bank they would
continue to hide their wealth some
where about their homes or else run
the risk of losing it by depositing it
with persons not qualified to take
care of 1t.

THE WILSON VETOES.

Governor Woodrow Wilson's large
number of yetoes presented to the
Legislature when 1t r]econvened, es-
tablished a new record in this re-
gard. The various veto measures
which accompanied the different
bills shows clearly that the govern
or, despite the fact that he is max
ing numerous tours throughout the
country, has not neglected his du-
ties as chief executive Of the state
and has a much clearer insight into
the true meaning of some of the
legislation that has been passed
than many who have spent their
whole time at the capital doing
nothing but looking after these
measures.
The governor is brief and to the
point in what he has to say, but is
decidedly convincing. We do not
believe that many of the bills will
be passed over his veto In view Of
the reasons set forth for his action.
Running all through his disap-
prevails of the different measures is
evidence that the governor is look
ing after the peoples interest in
every particular. At the same time,
however, he insists that all shall
have a square deal. Few can find
fault with the stand he has taken
and 1t Is most satisfactory to the
people to know that they have for
an executive a man capable of dis
eliminating so as to give justice for
all.

The outbreaks are the result of the
victory of the Clericals at the cleo

the result as a triumph for their cause
of placing free UNCONVENTIONAL schools
on an equality with the state public
schools, In which no religious instruc-
tion Is given. The Liberal organs, on
the other hand, declare the outcome
was due to fraud and corruption and
the system of plural voting.
In addition to the troubles at Liege
and Varviers, where gendarmes fired
upon a crowd, killing or wounding
nifty persons, among whom We're two
children, there was less serious riot

Agitation Spreading Rapidly.
The agitation is spreading through
out the country and $4,000 additional

AT Liege enormous damage was done
by the rioters and the streets in the
center of the city are piled high with
broken tables, chairs, beams, planks
and stones, which were the arms used
by the mob in the attacks upon the
police.
The favorite cries OF the mani
festants are those demanding the ad-
ministrative separation of the Flem-
1sh and the WALTON provinces. Some
OF the newspapers report a growing
sentiment among the working classes
In the WALTON districts of the south
east in favor of the annexation OF
their provinces to France.
A number of Jesuit colleges and
Catholic institutions were attacked by
mobs and the windows of the build
ings smashed. The geEdarmes charged
