FRIDAY, JANUARY 7. 1898.
THE city political pot is beginning to sizzle around the edge.
SOME day, perhaps, the city will see to it that snow is cleaned off the sidewalks.
THE fight among Ohio Republicans 1B the natural outgrowth of the spoils system. If there were no spoils to be given out there would be no quarrel.
FOR the year ending June 30, 1897. Montgemery county issued 378 marriage licenses and granted 30 divorces— 10 to the wife and 11 to the husband. There were 92 marriage licenses issued to one divorce granted.
TOM TAGGAJIT having stepped on the free Bilver platform with both feet the Indianapolis News announces that it is no longer a Taggart organ. 'Tis sad thus to see the silver pitcher and the golden bowl broken at the fountain.
GOVKHNOK LOWNDES has withdrawn from the Senatorial contest in Maryland. This greatly simplifies the situation in that State as it is now considered certain that Congressman McComas will be the coming man.
SIIjVEH is now a by-product of copper, lead and some other ores. Edward Atkinson says its cost ranges from 25 cents to 15 cents an ounce. In Bpite of the low price of silver it was produced in the I'nited States last year to the extent of 870,009,230.
THE Postotlice Department at Washington has decided that delinquent tax-payers can not be notified of their delinquency by postal card. He bays that it is offensive to the addressee and is unmailable under section ,i.i^ of the postal law* and regulations.
THE removal of Dan Suns from Covington to Lafayette will give Jo Cheadle a clcar field for the Democratic Congressional nomination in this district unless there should arise another statesman who can unite the opposition to Joseph which in some quarters is unrelenting.
A YEAK hence the Democrats may be howling against the surplus, as they were eight or ten years ago. The Republican tariff law of 1807 promises to bring eventually a considerable excess in revenue, and to thus disturb the Democrats as the Republican tariff act of 1HS3 did. At all events, the deficit's day6 are numbed. There will be no bond sales to piece out the revenues while the Republicans are in power.
THE striking results of the passage of the McKinley bill seven years ago were business activity at home and protests from Europe of the Wilson bill three years later, business depression at home and jubilations and banquetting in Europe: of the Dingley bill this year, revival of prosperity at home and of the protests and complaints of Europe against the aggressions of American trade.
THE monetary commission among other suggestions makes the following: "It is to the interest of the government and of the people that all the people should have an equal opportunity of investing their savings in the obligations of the government when issued. As the mass of the people have not the necessary facilities for the safe custody of bonds, it is suggested that a system be adopted of inscription on the books of the treasury, inetead of bonds, similar to that which has long prevailed in the case of the English consols and the French rentes. Under this system it will be possible to place government loans by a real popular subscriber."
The commission's bill provides for the sale of bonds at postoftices in $50 and multiples thereof when it shall be necessary for the government to borrow money. The Secretary of the Treasury is also autherized, instead of issuing the usual forms of engraved bonds, to cause loans of not less than $50 to be received and inscribed upon books to bs kept in Washington for that purpose, and to repay the same with interest not exceeding 3 per cent, in gold to those whose names are registered on the books, the same as if they were ownerB of registered bonds of the United States. Under this plan arrangements would be made at every money-order postotlice in the I'nited States for receiving payments into the treasury as inscribed loans when the government desired to borrow money.
SAVINGS BANKS.
The report of the Postmaster-liener-al relative to the postal savings banks of the United Kingdom shows that the depositees aggregate £108,098,011 This is on increase during the year of lilti,129,0(56, an increase unparalleled io the history of postal savings banks The number of accounts opened during the year was -108,438, against 344,834 for the year previous. The total number of accounts at the close of 1890 was nearly 7,000,000. It is stated that about 001. per cent of the depositors consist of women and children. The postal savings band system is also in operaLion in France, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Austria. Hungary, Italy, Canada, India, and in a number of English colonies, but no where does it attain the importance, either in magnitude of transactions or relatively to other savingis institutions ii those countries, that it does in the I 'ted Kingdom and its dependencies. In France the system was established in 1SS2. Its growth has been so rapid that in volum of depositors it stands second to United Kingdom, though in the number of depositors it is third, being exceeded by Italy. In the latter country the postal savings system, based on that of the United Kingdom, was called into existence. At the close of 1895 the banks numbered 4,703, over 90 per cent of the total number of savings institutions in the country, having 2,890,708 accounts and about $90,000,000 deposits, the average being §31.
THE report of the monetary commission is now before the country for discussion. It is comprehensive in its scope and serves to throw a good deal of light on the subject of currency and banking reform. One of the most striking features of the report is the recommendation relating to bank note issues. It aims eventually at bank notes entirely dissociated from national bonds as their basis, but seeks to accomplish that end gradually. Ten years after the establishment of the system note issues would be based entirely on bank assets, with the double liability of shareholders and the government guarantee fund as added security. Notes issued in excess of 00 per cent, and less than 80 per cent, of' the capital stock would be subject to a tax of 2 per cent, per annum: for notes in excess of 80 per cent, the tax would be per cent, per annum. iThe total issues in no case could exceed the paid up, unimpaired capital. In place of our present complicated and cumbersome system, with its ten different forms of currency, it would substitute a unified currency, and to that end it proposes a plan for the ultimate and gradual retirement of the various forms of government demand obligations. Under the commissions recommendations silver would become a subsidiary currency, redeemable in gold. Provision is made, however, for a larger use of silver certificates of small denominations. It is believed this report will prove a potent agent in educating the people to a realization of the situation.
SKNATOU FAIMIANKS delivered a message from President McKinley to the Republicans of Indiana the other day in which he said: "lie commissioned me to say to you, that he gratefully remembers the encouragement and assistance which the Republicans of this splendid State have given him heretofore, aud he further said, '1 am going to keep the bond.' Senator Fairbanks' communication of the President's message to the Republicans of Indiana was timely snd welcome in itself, but it derives additional importance from his own straightforward and encouraging words. Every loyal Republican was glad to hear the Senator say: "A party which keeps faith with the American pi ople will, in my judgment, be supported and sustained by them. No party can afford to vary from its platform pledges the width of a solitary hair." In these sound and unequivocal utterances both the President and the Senator not only gives the country assurance that the civil service law will stand unimpaired, in spite of the pressure of politicians, but that any errors in classification will be corrected with a view to upholding the principles of the merit system and to promote the efficiency of the civil service.
REI-UHI.ICANS will read and admire these Btrong'words bravely spoken by the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune in rebuke of Governor Bushnell, of Ohio: "The Republicans of Ohio behold the Governor of the State, who was elected by their votes, a self-admitted renegade. They behold Mr. Bushnell, who was made what he is by their efforts and their favor, and who pretended, during the campaign, to be loyal to the party's wish on the Senatorial question, now engaged in a desperate effort to defeat his party's expressed desire. They behold him consorting with the enemies of the Republican party, giving them his aid and encouragement. putting forth his utmost efforts to rob the party which did him undeserved honor, and trying to bring misfortune and disaster upon it. is the opinion of ninety-nine and threefourths per cent of the Republicans of Ohio that Governor Bushnell has disgraced his State, disgraced the Republican party of Ohio, disgraced his high oilice and disgraced himself."
TEARFUL TEI.I.EK, when the bill repealing the silver purchasing clause was passed, broke forth in a wail of despair over the dismal future of Colorado. The following telegram has been sent to President McKinley from Colorado Springs:
The Chamber of Commerce of.Colorado Springs send you best wishes for a happy New Year and congratulations on the prosperity that promises increasingly to attend your administration. Cripple Creek, in this county, has added more than $12,000,000 to the world's output of gold during 1897, an increase of 40 per cent over the previous year. Colorado's gold production for the last jear is nearly $22,000,000, being one-third of the total gold production of the United States, a sum equal to SI40 for each man in the State, or $2,-!00 for each man engaged in gold mining. Colorado has done her share toward increasing the general prosperity of the Nation, and enters the new year with hope and confidence.
The gold output of Colorado for 1897 is estimated by the Denver Times from the figures furnished by the smelters, mills and mint at $22,500,000, an increase of $0,000,000 over that of 1890. The silver produced was worth $12,807,070, lead $2,740,672, and copper $1,209,053, The stricken Teller should now weep some more golden tears.

SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS-
One of the most successful home classes last year in our county was that of the Hibernian Sunday school in iRipley township. When it was found that the school was lacking in energy and that it could not keep alive through the winter. Supplies were immediately procured, quarterlies ordered and an enthusiastic home class started embracing the whole school. Not only was the membership of the school included in this home class, but it went further and secured every family within reach of the school. The class was started at the end of the fourth quarter, just at the beginning of the new year, and was continued for just one quarter, or through the severest part of the winter, and then, as the second quarter began the school was re-opened with renewed vigor and energy. All through the spring, summer and fall the school thrived, but as the winter drew near it seemed that it must again cease. The home class proved to be such an excellent plan last year that it was again tried, And so last Sunday the Hibernian Sunday school again went into winter quarters, but with every member of it belonging to the home department. Now while we do not feel that it is necessary for any 9 jhool to cease during the winter time, and we know that the persons attending the Hibernian Sunday school will soon realize this fact, we are glad to know that when they feel that they must close that they are interested enough in the school to see that there is no break in the lessons but that the work goes right on. We hope that the other schools in our county in the habit of closing during the winter time will follow the example of this one, and organize a live, wide awake home department. It is the next best thing to keeping the school open.
The State executive committee held a meeting last Friday in the V. M. C. A. building at In Jianapolis. The object was to p!an for -the work of the year. Possibly one or two new field workers will be employed to organize unorganized territory. Our counties are well organized, but many of them have not completed their township organization.
During the months of January and February would be an excellent time for our townships that have not yet held their conventions to swing into line. According to our Hanner Standard no township can be a banner township unless it holds one or more conventions during the year. The roads are splendid at this time of the year and no one is so busy but that he could give a day for a Sunday school convention. Let us arrange for them, township presidents, arrange early. Nothing)will do your Sunday schools more good than a rousing convention of their own.
In Tippecanoe county they are already gathering statistics. They begin probably earlier tthan any other county in the State. They are through just about the time that other counties begin. This has been their custom for years and it is just as natural for them to fill out their statistical blanks and send in their contribution for State work at this time of the year as "rolling off a log." There is not a more able president in Indiana than Wm. H. Levering. For years he was president of our State work and a member of the international committee. He has perhaps more information concerning Sunday schools and Sunday school history than any other man living. His file of letters and reports is complete for forty years. He can give from memory almost any fact in Sunday school history—county, State or international. For more than thirty years he has been president of the Tippecanoe County Sunday School Association. We spent last Monday very profitably with him in hi6 library, looking over reports old and new and listening to the story of our progress since the organization of our State association away back in the sixties.
It was interesting to look through his file of old letters—complete for forty years, every letter received and sent— and to notice.how differently people think now. He is still active in Sunday school work.
The International Field Workers will meet this month, the 18th, 19th and 20th, in New Jersey.

Have you ever read a newpaper article, a glowing account of some incident told in elusive words to lead you on, and found it ended up with a proprietary medicine advertisement'.' Made you mad, didn it? And were you convinced of the merit of the article'.' We think not-, because it told the experiences of some stranger in afar away town. To take his word for it was like "going it blind." It's a very different thing when a statement is prescribed from a citizen. From people we know, and that is the case here.
