This will let 600 men from these two regiments out of the ser vice. Both regiments , however , will remain in the army. A MAN who does not fight from ambush but in the open and day light , a lawyer of recognized abil ity all over this section of the state , a citizen devoid of cant and hypocrisy , a Republican without guile , a citizen who seeks the bes interests of the whole people o the county and who disdains to at tempt even to array section ngaius section in this county , W. R. Stari. stands before the people of Rec Willow county as the incomparable candidate among those in the fielc for the position of county attorney. His election is properly but a ques tion of majority. Let us make il practically unanimous. A MASS convention of the retail merchants of Nebraska will be held in Omaha , October 20th , convening at 2 p. m. , for the purpose of in augurating a campaign to secure legislation , this coming winter , that will recognize the rights and protect the interests of the retail merchants of the state. The questions of better collection laws , the suppression of false ad vertising , prohibition of child labor in factories and stores , restraining catalogue houses and department stores from further encroaching upon the legitimate single-line dealers , and such other questions as affect the retail merchants of this state will be considered as submitted. A banquet will be tendered visiting merchants at the Commercial Club. A SOLID support by the Repub licans of Red Willow county will pull Dr. J. E. Hathorn out a win ner in the coining election over the allied forces of the opposition. The doctor is in the vigor of middle : dle life , with a splendid equipment : for the important position he has been named to occupy in the coun cils of the state. He is alert and virile. Red Willow county is clearly Republican aad should have a Republican representative in the next session of the Nebraska legislature. THE TRIBUNE urges t upon the rank and file of the party t : to forget any and all differences , t : if any there be , and give the doc t : tor a loyal , royal support. We t ] will go into bonds that he will ac quit himself with credit and ac aii cording to his highest idea of the & best interests of the people of this county and state. fiS fiP Royal makes the food pure , fiP wholesome and delicious.

The postoffice department of the United States government has re cently adopted two measures which may lead to the establishment of a postal savings bank. Postmasters have been authorized to issue money orders payable at the office of issue and they have also been empowered to pay pension checks It probably will be found tha these two departures will prove that there is a demand for a branch of the national postoffice , which wil enable the people to put theii money in the hands of the govern ment for safe keeping and to util ize the postoffice machinery more fully than at present for the trans fer of funds. There is a growing and urgeul need either for less or for more banking facilities by the govern ment and a postal savings bank probably offers the best solution oJ some of the problems which con front the Treasury department. At present there is a great surplus of cash in the treasury which oughl to be available for general use in business and the only way it can be put in circulation is by deposit ing in national banks , with govern ment bonds for security. If the country had a postal savings bank the surplus funds of the treasury could be invested , through the bank , in government bonds and other high grade securities and thus be made a source of profit to the treasury and at the same time keep in active use. A few years ago the nation had to borrow money to pay current expenses. With a postal savings the treasury department could bor row the people's money , in times of need , on short term treasury notes. Thus , whether there is a surplus or a deficit in the reve nues , the national treasury would always have at hand the facilities for meeting all emergencies and For doing business with the least possible disturbance of private fi nances , and on the most economic al plan that could be devised. To provide for the use of the treasury surplus , as well as to en able the government to obtain tunds readily whenever its reven ues do not equal its expenses , would necessitate a broadening Dut of the postal savings bank be yond the bonds which ordiuarih imit the operations of such a sys- ; em , but it seems to be desirable ; o do that. Government revenues ivill fluctuate a great deal during she next few years , owing to the ransaction which is going on in he taxing system , and a postal savings bank , devised on a propei Dlan would be the best means of iffording the government an easy ) vay to provide variations in its evenue , with the least possible ef- 1 : ect on the money market. The need of a postal savings o > mnk as an aid to the operations of he national treasury , is unques- ioned , but there is some doubt in he minds of eminent financial au- horities as to whether there is e uy real demand for a postal sav- , , ugs bank in a country with such ornplete and extensive banking ti acilities as exist in the United States. The experiment of paying leusiou checks and of permitting ieople to deposit money in the ostoffice on money orders payable t the office of issue , will throw ome light on this question.

VOTE FOR CAPTAIN ADAMS. IT is not claimed for Captain Adams , the Republican nominee for congress in the Fifth Nebraska district , that he is a meteoric polit ical prince , but that he is an able , honest , energetic , patriotic citizen who knows the needs and wants of this district and has the ability requisite to present and urge them upon the action of congress. The captain is heartily in sympathy with the administration of Presi dent McKinlev. His antecedents V are such as to warrant us in claim ing for him that if elected con gressman of this district he will give a good account of himself and honorabty , conscientiously anc ably represent this people. Dis daining the role of the demagogue he is making a campaign such as might be expected from so high- minded a citizen. His course throughout life has been one oi fairness and success. He is mag- nificieutly equipped for the work of an every-day , common-people congressman. An old soldier of honorable record , he is especially entitled to the suffrages of the old soldiers of this district. A suc cessful business man , he recom mends himself to the business in terests of the district. A clean. staud-up-for-Nebraska citizen of splendid record in every depart ment of activity , we are proud to strongly recommend him to the voters of the district. E. N. ALLEN , of Arapahoe , re- niblicau candidate for senator , vas in town today meeting old Irieuds and making new ones. Vlr. Allen made a pheuominal race ; wo years ago , and it is safe to say vhen the votes are counted this 'all ' he will not be far behind. He is an old timer in the county , twenty-five years of his life having been spent here , is a Furnos coun ty man , and interested in our in terests. His old neighbors in the jouuty will be glad to honor him ivith their votes. Wilsonville Re new.
