FRIDAY, JANUARY 7. 1898.

WHATEVER may be the outcome in Ohio, Governor Bushnell has managed to secure for himself about as igno minions a position as was ever held by a public man in this country. Neither is Senator Foraker like Cesar's wife, above suspicion.

THE Atchison Globe evidently doesn't like "Quo Vadis." It says: "To peka folks are going wild over a book whose hero dressed himself for banquet by putting a wreath on his brow, swinging a sheet over his shoulders and shaving the hair off his arms.''

THE HON. WILLIAM JBNNINOS BRYAN says his visit to Mexico has confirmed his faith in free silver. That is the effect it might be expected to have on a mind like his. Mexican civilization would seem to meet his standards a good deal better than the civilization of this country.

AIIK there any banks in the United Kingdom besides that known as the bank of England? Yes. On June 30, 1897, there were 191 banks and 0,470 branches in England, Scotland and Ireland. On th&t date the resources amounted to ,£957,589,000: capital, £84,403,000 deposits, £757,311,000 and circulation, .(.'53,299,000.

IN view of the dangerous charactar of a $100 silver certificate, which has just been detected, Secretary Gage has decided to stop issuing and to cull in all $100 certificates, of which there are about $26,000,000 outstanding. These will be exchanged for smaller certificates and the plates destroyed. As soon as new plates can be engraved a new series will be issued. THE JOURNAL has none to send in. Just now we area little short on $100 bills of aiy kind.

THE Republican party, if it would live and rule the country in the future, must be true to its profession3 and be the party of reform and progress. It must stand firmly by its professed devotion to civil service reform, and resist those who maintain the doctrine that "to the victors beloDg the spoils." Not more than onetenth or one-twontieth of the voters of the country are office-holders or seekers, and the party and the government must be administered more in the interest of the nine-tenths, and less in the interest of the one-tenth or onetwentieth. Modified, amended and improved it may be, but the principle must stand.

CANADIAN SAVINGS BANKS. In Canada the postal savings system has been in operation since 1868, although 'not extended to the entire

Dominion until 1885. In 1882 the depositors numbered 51,463 and the deposits aggregated $9,473,661. On January 30, 1895. there were 120,628 depositors, with a credit balance of $26,807,542, an average deposit of ''¥222.22. The minimum aud maximum deposits are $1 and $1,000 respectively, the maximum balance $3,000, though a deposit cannot exceed $300 in any fiscal year, and interest is not allowed on sums over $1,000 during any period.

Interest on deposits, which are turned over to the treasury, is allowed at the rate of per cent. .The postmaster general has authority to direct such postmasters as he mav deem proper to receive deposits, which shall be remitted daily to him at Ottawa. These deposits are entered into the book of the depssitor by the postmaster, and the entry attested by him as well as by the dated stamp of his oflice. The postmaster general acknowledges the receipt to the depositor. The depositor or his representative may withdraw the amount of the deposit or any part therefore at any time. The interest dates from the first of each month following the deposit and ceases on the first of the month in which the deposits may be withdrawn. The accumulated interest is added to the .principal and becomes a part thereof on the 30th of June each year. Monthly reports are ir.ade by the postmaster general and published. In changing from one office to anothnr no notice to the authorities or change of pass book is required. The law of course is long, but the above are the salient features and will give the reader some idea of the workings of postal savings banks by our neighbors on the north. The money order system has proven to be a wonderful success in this country.

and no reason can be assigned why postal savings banks should not prove equally successful.

IN Lewin's "History of Savings Banks" occurs the following quotation, indicating the chief object to be kept in mind by those wishing to benefit the poor by helping them to safeguard their small accumulations: 1 do not imagine that there can be any more important end and object of a State than to encourage frugality, and the investment of the savings of the poor, and there is nothing which I should be more tempted to step out of my way to encourage if I were a legislator but I think the great test and object of whatever investment I provide especially foi them must be extreme and perfect certainly. Increase in amount of interest or prolit is as nothing as compared to security.

This quotation gives the current idea as to the chief purpose which a savings

system should subserve and

the great object of the national government in establishing such a system. For realizing this object nothing yet devised can equal postal savings banks, for they make the security to the depositor co-extensive with the stability of the government itself.

As to the State Fair

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 6.—At the meeting of the delegates of the state board of agriculture the plan of turning the state fair over to the state and have the board become apart of the state government was discussed. The sentiment was practically unanimous in favor of the proposition and a committee, consisting of Messrs. McDonald, Matthews, Levering and Downing, was appointed to draft a bill and introduce it into the legislature. Tlio bill will be considered at the meeting of the board in January of next year. Charles Downing of Greenfield was elected president of the board.

Inclnsion of Loudon Popnlation. The population of London is now estimated to include 250,000 persons of Irish and 120,000 of Scotch parentage 45,000 Asiatics, Africans and Americans, with some 60,000 Germans, 30,000 French, 15,000 Dutch, 12,000 Poles, 7,500 Italians, and 5,000 Swiss.
