Mr. S. N. Dexter North of
; j • Massachusetts has been selected as
V the superintendent of the next cen-
? / ; bus. Mr. North's qualifications
are not generally known to the
; ; - country , but it is to be hoped that
one of them will be the ability to
understand what to leave out of
, ' the census report. The superintendent -
\ * tendent of the census should know
how to "serve the present age , his
calling to fulfill" and furnish a re
port within the lifetime of people
now living and filled only with
matters of interest.
We wish that we could prevail
, • - upon editorial writers of all politi
cal creeds , to be moderate. The
i < • editors and writers who are always
frothing at the mouth bring the

> 'i . and their words have no more ef-
3 feet than tinkling cymbals or
sounding brass. We have always
1' S held that it is possible for a man
• / ' to be a pop , or a democrat , or a
5V prohibitionist , without being of
IJ * ' necessity a barn burner or horse
* * thief. Abuse is a poor weapon
f , used by poor men. Now and then
f the best of editors allow their angry -
* * . * gry passions to rise , and say things
i ' { > that were better unsaid , but he can
i f _ / be pardoned ; there is no excuse ,
< fk\ however , for the man who writes
' • f % % continually at the top of his voice ,
- y * .i - damning everybody who does not
tlti f agree with him. We blush for the

There has been a marked tend
ency to bank consolidation since
the crisis of 1893 , but whether this
will continue to manifest itself now
that prosperity is returning is pro
blematical. The comptroller of
the currency states the number of
national banks in active operation
January 1 , 1893 , at 3,799 and the
latest reports to that official place
the number at 3,610. Since 1893
the capital invested in national
banks has decreased $63,000,000 ,
but notwithstanding the reduction
in the number of banks and capi
tal , the deposits are larger than
Bver before , being fully § 200,000-
000 in excess of the highly pros
perous year of 1892. It is ob
served that a significant fact re
garding banking development is
the maintainance of the old volume
Df business by a * greater concen
tration of banking management
and capital. It is to be expected
that the return of confidence will
conduce to the establishment of
additional banks , but it is the
3pinion in well-informed quarters
that the new corporations will not
much more than keep pace with
consolidations. Omaha Bee.

GOLD YERSUS LIFE.
Men are at present risking their
lives for gold. There is a stam
pede of eager , willing martyrs to
the inhospitable country of the
Klondyke. Many will perish fiom
cold and hunger. Not one quarter
of the people who go there will
ever return. Not one-half of those
who do return will return any rich
er than they went. They will not
only endanger their health , but
their lives , for the sake of gold.
And yet everybody says that health
is more precious than gold. The
thing which restores health is ,
therefore , more precious than gold.
Pe-ru-na restores health , cures all
forms of weakness , all forms and
stages of catarrh.builds up broken-
down constitutions , brings new life
back to all those who have become
prematurely old. The latest and
best book ever written on the sub
ject of female diseases will be sent
free , to women only , for a short
time. Address The Pe-ru-na Drug
Manufacturing Co. , Columbus ,
Ohio.
The bondsmen of the defaulting
treasurer of Boone county , Iowa ,

ly. If some of the bondsmen of
Nebraska defaulters would do like
wise they would afford the de
spoiled taxpayers a most pleasant
surprise.

Postmaster General Gary iB de
voting considerable attention these
days to an investigation of the
wisdom of establishing postal sav
ings banks. When in the last
congress a bill was sent to him
providing for such institutions he
declined to eudorse it becanse , as
he said , ho had not an opportunity
to investigate the subject. He
has since taken up the matter ,
reading all literature bearing upon
it he could procure and seeking
opportunity to discuss its merits
with those familiar with it. The
result is that he has become con
vinced of both the Avisdom and the
utility of postal savings institutions
and has decided to have a bill pre
pared providing for their estab
lishment and to recommend its
passage by congress. He has not
yet decided upon the details of
any plan , but will soon give bis
attention to them.

wherever tried has been demon
strated and ought to stimulate the
