One inspiring fact about the republi
can party is that it never yet took hold
of the government finances withoat im
proving them by wise regulations and
ample revenue. Seward Blade.
Those who complain that McKinley 's
election is not bringing prosperity are
the kind of people who would plant an
v apple seed today and expect apple
dumplings tomorrow at dinner. Lin
coln Call.
CoHasBfWHAX DkAxhoxd of Missouri
is somewhat specific and picturesque in
saying of J. Sterling Morton: "He
writes when he is not talking and talks
when he is not writing, and does both
when he is not thinking."
It seems that the clerk of the district
court of Douglas county makes from
$30,000 to $50,000 a year, and of Lancas
ter $10,000 to $12,000. There is a bill
pending to name specific salaries and
otherwise regulate the office.
Bask, the Wayne county man who
murdered his wife and three children,
has been taken to the penitentiary for
safekeeping. Sheriff Reynolds gives it
aa his opinion that the man is not in
sane. The next day after his arrest he
made a violent attack on the sheriff and
threatened to kill him.
Everybody seems to be waiting now
for the new administration to make a
demonstration towards prosperity and
E regress again. McKinley will doubt
ns make one of the best presidents the
country has seen, and the influence of
the new order of things will be felt all
over the country, and in every line of
industry.
Nim Meeks of Lincoln is under arrest
for attempted rape upon the 6-years-old
girl, Laura Nagle, at Lincoln. She
identified him as her assailant, and since
his arrest he has confessed to the heinous
crime. It seems, from facts ascertained,
that he is also guilty of the assault about
three months ago upon the daughter of
A. K. Day.
Last Wednesday in the hall of the
house of representatives at Washington
the count of the electoral vote was made
and duly announced, and briefly isHts
follows: Whole number 447. For pres
ident McKinley received 271, Bryaa 176;
for vice president, Hobart 271, Sewall
149, Watson 27. The announcement
thus made is the legal warrant for tak
ing the oath and entering upon the
duties of the offices.
Dr. Phillips furnished the United
Associated presses with the following
statement Monday: "Major McKinley
is suffering from a severe cold, but is
not seriously ill. He is resting com
fortably, but will be about in a few
days." The telegram from Canton far
ther says tbat tne president elect is
confined to his bed and is unable to
receive callers. While governor of Ohio
he was quite ill with the grip for a week
or ten days, and his present symptoms
are similar to what he had then.
Ik a recent interview with Peter Jan
sen, Major McKinley said: "You may
take back to Nebraska the word that I
will religiously carry out every promise
made at St. Louis. I will do more. I
intend to instruct all our ambassadors
to countries with which a bimetallic
agreement is desired, to make a special
study of the monetary conditions there
.prevailing that we may have the fullest
information. Steps will be taken to
have an international monetary confer
ence as soon as possible and the facta
thus collected will enable more intelli
gent action than has been possible in
the past"
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
"The fact that postal savings banks
would take the government into a new
form of the banking business at a time
when the most intelligent financiers and
legislators are considering the propriety
of retiring it from the note issuing busi
ness cannot fail to appear somewhat
puzzling." This comment is expressive
of a fear entertained by some that postal
savings banks may be in conflict with
sound principles of banking, though the
Post itself gives its mild endorsement to
the proposition for their establishment.
The best answer to this fear is to point
out that the countries having a sound'
banking system are the vary ones that
have taken the lead in establishing pos
tal savings banks. The banking system
of Great Britain is pointed tons a model
by those who favor currency and bank
ing reform in this country along conser
vative lines, and it was in Great Britain
that the postoffice savings bank originat
ed. The bill for its establishment was
brought in and championed by Mr.
Gladstone, then, chancellor of the ex
chequer, and a man of recognized ability
in dealing with financial questions.
Men of conservative views ou' banking
questions turn to Canada, too, as a coun
try having a most admirable hanking
system -and one worthy of imitation.
And Canada was one of the first coun
tries to follow the example of Great
Britain in establishing postal savings
banks.
France has a sound banking system,
and also has the postal savings banks.
Germany, too, singled oat aaaooaatry
whose banking system it would profit
legislators in this country-to study.
While Germany has not the postofitae
savings banks, there are in the various
cities of the empire municipal savings
banks that meet the need, and that per
haps are even more extensively patron
ised than the postoaVo banks in the
other countries named.
When men of conservative views in
this country say the government should
retire from the banking hnainaan they
it Canada, Great Britain, France or
as countries navuur nanlnng
i that are worthy of imitation by
the United States. Bat in three of
i countries postal savings nam
aa securely fixed as is the ordinary beak:
and in the fourth they
would be Bstahlhmart ware it
not that maaieipal savings hanks already
occupy the field. H these eoaatries are
to be pointed teas furnishing swain! as
of sound ttt"; systems which the
United States should imitate, why should
not the establishment of postal savings
beaks, like those in oaatataaa in the
ssa eoaatries, beapecoVedas well? At
any rate, it ought not to be iathaated
Owt the postal savings baaks are ia the

Kansas Crrr.-Feb. 16. Special com

Lokdon, Feb. 16. The news that a
force of regulars from four Greek' ships
nas disembarked on the
-of- the -Island- of Crete- has
firmed. No details have been rsoeiyed,
I but the force was probably Mantirsl
J with that which embarked from Piraeus.
Fighting was reported in the vicinity
' of Heraklion and three Mohammodaa
villages are said to be burning. ' Retimo
I and Sitia are mere quiet. A dispatch to
the Chronicle from Athens savs the
commander of the English ironclad
threatened the comma' -'?r of the Greek
cruiser and told l;i; would sink his
boat if he again tiied at the Turkish
transport.
The Chronicle also giws dispatches
relating the substance of an interview
between Prince George of Greece and
the British admiral at Cauea and
vouches for their absolure correctors.
The prince having admitted- that his
orders were to prevent the disembarking
of Turkish troops, by force if necessary,
the admiral, without reservation, de
clared he had strict orders tontse every
means in his power to prevent the exe
cution of the plans of the prince. How
ever much ho might regret it, he had no
option in the matter. He then desired
to know the prince's intentioasander
the circumstances. Prince Georga re
plied that he should execute the -service
with which he had been entrusted to
the letter.
The Chronicle editorially denounces
in a highly indignant luauner the fore
going treatment of a friendly prince
and nation and says' that it will cause a
thrill of passionate shame to enter the
hearts of every man caring for freedom.
The Chronicle editorially exhorts Greece
in God's name to go on.
The Times in its editorial columns ap
plauds the naval occupation of the Isl
and of Crete as a sensible act and as
practical statesmanship.
A dispatch to The Standard from
Constantinople says the councilor min
isters sat until early this morning. It
is impossible to learn whether any deci
sion has been arrived at or not, but it
appears that Turkey is extremely un
willing to make the Cretean question
casus belli with Greece. One reason is
the conviction of the porte that Europe
will protect its sovereign rights; another
is its dread that complications might
arise with Macedonia and the Balkan
provinces and with Austria.
A dispatch to The Standard from
Athens says that the foreign marines
have landed at Retimo and Heraklion.
New Charter For Crete.
The powers have decided to supervise
the execution of a new charter for
Crete, a feature of which will be auto
nomy. The Athens correspondent says
a high Greek official has assured him
that Emperor William was largely influ
ential in bringing about the present so
lution, which has extricated Greece
from an embarrassing position" and
which guarantees peace and order for
the Island of Crete. Public anxiety has
been greatly relieved. It is conridered
that the crisis is at an end. Berovitch
Pasha has arrived at Calama. He will
proceed to Corfu immediately.
A dispatch from Canea, dated at 6
o'clock on the evening of Monday, Feb.
15, says that when a decision providing
for the naval occupation of Crete by the
powers became known at noon Mush
avirlsmael Bey drew up' a; protest:
Before 3 o'clock in the afternoon a
crowd collected all along the quays,
evidently attracted by mere curiosity.
At 3:10 p. m., precisely, a launch,
Revenge, the English flagship of Ad
miral Harris, entered the harbor, the
launch being commanded by Lieutenant
Nelson. Sublieutenants Addison and
Hunt landed with a detachment of ma
rines, who were drawn up to the quay
by launches, followed shortly after by
the French landing parties. Then the
Austrian, Russian and Italian forces
put in an appearance. Tho weather
was pleasant and the scene highly
picturesque. The Mohammedans did
not make any demonstration. The
British force consisted entirely of ma
rines and was met by Consul General
Billotti and other of the officials. Some
Turkish officers were present as well as
the seventy attaches of the French and
Italian embassies and marines. The
tailors of the various nations then
marched to quarters prepared for them.
The British forces occupy the large
building ad joining the telegraph office.
The great majority of the Mohamme
dans seemed apparently pleased with
the occupation of the island by the
powers. Many of their leaders begged
that the occupation be extended to the
whole island. Only a small minority of
the more fanatically disposed seemed
discontented. It was arranged that the
occupation of Heraklion and Retimo
should take place simultaneously, if
possible Without doubt the landing of
the troops will produce a great effect on
the christians and tend to restore peace.
Mushavier Ismael Bey, after a confer
ence with the military officersddressed
a note to the foreign admirals stating he
gladly accepted the occupation and he
hoped it might be extended to Sitia
SeUno and elsewhere.

at the bar was heard to say the other
day:
"I have made juries in murder cases
an especial study. There are a large
number of men, larger than most peo
ple suppose, who have scruples about
finding death as a punishment for a
murderer. I used to make it my busi
ness to study jurymen's faces and see if
I could read by the lines whether or not
they had scruples about the death sen
tence. I gave this up, though, as being
beyond my power of comprehension.
Later continued study of the jury box
led me to a discovery. That was that
in nine cases out of ten a jury composed
mostly of tall, lean men would, when
the evidence was sufficient, never have
tho slightest hesitation about fixing ex
treme sentence. On the other hand, a
jury where short, fat men predominated
in number would occupy twice as much
time in finding its verdict, and when
brought in it would generally be a term
of imprisonment for the murderer."

Between the mountains of India and
Persia is a powerful tribe among whom
an extraordinary custom prevails. Wom
an's rights have apparently received full
recognition, for the ladies of the tribe
can choose their own husbands. AH a
single woman has to do when she wish
es to change her state is to send a serv
ant to pin a handkerchief -to the hat of
the man on whom her fancy lights, and
he is obliged to marry her, unless he
can show he is too poor to purchase her
at the price her father requires.

Three peddlers, with groceries, dry
goods, etc., upon wagons passed this way
last week drumming up business, which
was a sure sign of robin red breast soon
to put in an appearance, after which we
may look out for spring.
Many heaps of corn piled upon the
ground, are found to be taking injury,
and some of the farmers are building
cribs to store such corn. At present
prices, it takes one-third of a pile of
corn to brtild a crib to hold the other
two-thirds, or about four cents a bushel.
Last Thursday afternoon, while Tony
Schofftck was shelling corn at John
Browner'e, two miles northeast of the
city, and was about to adjust the corn
cob elevator chain, in some manner the
thumb of his right hand caught in the
crown gearing, severing the member
from his hand.
We noticed a group of young folks
wearing skates, and upon a large field of
ice near Mr. McGanns the first of the

out of a fresh water lake, seventeen rods
in circumference.
