The life insurance companies refuse to take risks on the people who go to I the Klondike. It is said that the anarchists who are being driven from France, Spain and other foreign count t ies are headed for the United States. We don't need them.

The movement for postal savings banks is likely to be a coming issue in polities. The party that gets the inside T rack on this question may add largely to its chances of success at the polls. United States Senator .James Z. George, of Mississippi, passed away last Sunday after a long illness. He was elected to the senate in 1881 and was rejected in 1886 and again in 1892. He was about 71 years old. The wheat, market fluctuates so vio iently that the Indianapolis News sug ^ests the query: If wheat is 76 cents when a farmer starts to town in the morning, what will it be worth when lie arrives at his destination? The coal miners are asking for only what is due them a sufficient increase in their wages to make a respectable living, which they are not getting now. The sympathy of the great majority of the people is wit’a the strikers, as their cause is just and deserves to succeed.

Hill Bros., the flouring mill monos South Bend, have voluntarily raised the wages of their employes to what they were before th? hard times came on. This action is commendable, but it is i only just and right, as lab >r should j have ita proportionate share of the bene I fits of improved times. It naturally ! •costs more to live when times are good. ■ and labor should be sufficiently recom i pensod to meet the increased cost of the necessaries of life. The people will j watch with interest to see if any of the other manufacturers of South Bend will follow Hill Bros.' noble example. Capital and labor are necessary to each other. Without capital, labor for the most part is idle: without labor, cap ital is unremunerative. They are each important factors in the world’s industries, and in the matter of the remuneration that each shall secure they are of ten antagonistic. Their hostility is always an injury to both, and when col lision comes the whole community sutlers. It will be a rich blessing to mankind if. by organization labor is lifted up to an ©quality with capital, and all differences between them are settled by fair and honorable arbitration. Jasper Pack j ARD. There is said to be a conspiracy among certain unscrupulous republican poli iidans at Washington to injure John Sherman’s reputation and influence as a statesman, in order to give some of the i lesser lights a chance to rise. The stories J about Shermans failing powers, etc., which have been circulating through the press are said to be purely lies started by these intriguers for the purpose Above stated. The story bears the

odor of fish about it. but if true, such a I * mtemptible outrage against an old man I who has served his party and his conn ‘ ( try long and faithfully should, and will, ( meet with such a prompt and decisive i

Mwsko as to cause the guilty ones to 1 feel the chagrin which their perfidy de serves. Gov. Mount is an avowed advocate of! ■good roads and a free rural mail deliv- I -ry. In his recent address at Rome] < ,t\ ne raid: ’ The farmers have a right t.o demand that the government at least ; co-operate in securing better mail fa- ! -filities for the country. The farmer of ' the 20th century must be a man of the broadest mind, of the highest devel opment. The farmer’s home must be supplied with books, papers and magazines. He must keep in touch with the intellectual, social and business world. To secure the advantages of daily mail good roads will be a necessity. With good thoroughfares to insure speedy transit, then by the co-operation of the farmers and the government arrangements can be made for the deposit by tthe postman of the farmer’s mail in a box opposite his home. Good roads and •daily mail to the farmer of the coming years will be indispensable to highest success, socially, financially and intellectually.”

The republicans of lowa have nomin ated L. M. Shaw for governor. There are rumors that Weyler has re signed his command in Cuba. This tic tion, it is claimed, is due to the assassin ation of Canovas, the Spanish prime minister. To the young man who wants to know how to tit himself for going to the Klondike, the Chicago Tribune says: Acquire habits of industry and self control, be prepared to meet with firmness whatever discouragements may arise, scrape together t wo or three limes as much money for the journey as the best estimates render necessary, and don't go. The sentiment for government postal savings banks is growing very strong among the people, and expressions favor able to the project are coming from lead ing men in all parts of the country. Thore is no question as to the great benefit that such a system of banks would be to the people, and it will boa fortunate day when we have such a sys fem established in this country, It seems that there is no provision in the laws of the United States that will I prevent the landing of anarchists on our shores. This, it will be generally conceded, is a very lame feature in our immigration laws that demands the early attention of congress. Anarchists, who preach doctrines of violence to govern ment, republican as well as monarehial,

who are destructionists and not builders of society, are dangerous to the peace of this free government, and are therefore criminals of the worst kind who should bo barred from this country the same as other classes of criminals which the governments of Europe try to dump upon our shores. “Bradstreets," which is rec ignized as a moat conservative publication, sum marizes the business situation: “I. The crops are good. "2. That the price of wheat and cot ton has so greatly advanced as to pour scores of millions of dollars into the laps of the farmers, while the price of other staples has advanced in sympathy with these. “3. The short crops in Europe, In lia, and Argentine assure a continuance of these high prices during the market sea son. “4. That merchants everywhere are replenishing their stocks of goods as they have not done for several years past.

'o. That in consequence railroad earn ings everywhere show improvement. “6. 'That there are already signs of re . vival in industry, the manufacturers I beginning to anticipate the new demand for goods. •‘7. 'That our exports for the last year have been so enormously in excess of imports as to make us very heavily a creditor nation a condition that does not guarantee prosperity but tends strongly to help it.
