Aggressive Form. Mr. Bryan is a frank man, and has stay- ing qualities. He has shown this ever since he came into his kingdom of democratic national leadership. It explains in large measure his success. Although pressed hard all through last year's campaign, he neither dodged nor shifted his ground, but stuck to his text to the end. He is still sticking to it. His speech at Lincoln yes- terday revealed him in undismayed form. His voice is still for silver at 16 to 1. Neither defeat last year, nor dollar wheat this year, has cvoled his ardor as a cham- pion of a financial policy for the United States conceived and executed without re- gard to the policies of other nations. And he tells the ren who supported that policy last year that they must continue to stand together if they are to hope to accomplish their end. His remarks, it is true, were addressed to the silver men of all parties in Nebraska but they have national appli- cation and will be found there to have their greatest weight. Mr. Bryan may be accused of selfishness. It may be urged that in speaking thus for a continuation of the old fight with the old combination he speaks for the old leader- ship as well. That may be granted without any injury to Mr. Bryan. The old leader- ship is going with the old cause everywhere else. In lowa, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, where the democrats have held state conventions, Mr. Bryan's leadership is enthusiastically recognized. In Massachusetts it is soon to be. In New York an effort will be made to have it recognized, with the promise of a lively Tow in case the effort is defeated. Only in Maryland has Mr. Bryan failed to receive his due, and that is attributable to the personal scheming of Mr. Gorman, whom Mr. Bryan and his closest friends have never trusted. Why, therefore, should not Mr. Bryan accept himself as being still the democratic leader and essay to lead when the party so accepts him? For this year it is the old fight over again. Free silver at 16 to 1 is the issue and Mr. Bryan is the leader. Silver lines, it is true, are not everywhere formed as they were last year, but wherever they are strong the old combination is found to be at work. The friends of sound money can- net afford to shut their eyes to the situa- tion. Wrangling over questions of party organization by the gold“ democrats and €ver spoils by the republicans seems very peor business at a time when so much is at stake of so much more consequence to everybody. ——__ + = ____ A Case of Over-Confidence. Too much confidence was placed in the colored man who served as messenger in Collector Davis’ office. Too much reliance was placed on the integrity and secrecy of the safe combination. Too little care was exercised in guarding the mystery of the signal at which the doors of the strong box would swing open. Had the safe been in a more secluded place, had the combination been changed more frequently, and had there been more account taken of the frailty of human nature, the collector would not now stand responsible for the large sum of money belonging to the Dis- trict that has disappeared with the trusted employe. This is about all there ig to the safe robbery case. It is an old story, ex- cept that seldom before has it occurred that the same method has been employed by the robber. Hawkins, whose guilt seems now to be assured, in view of his suspicious cenduct and his continued and unexplained absence, showed rare intelligence in pick- ing up the combination. It appears that he was noticed by one of the clerks some time ago as he stood behind the assistant cashier while the latter was working over the refractory lock. If this fact had been reported at the time attention would have been directed to Hawkins as one who was unduly interested in the workings of the safe. It is dangerous to permit too much familiarity with the treasure boxes in pub- lic or private offices on the part of irre- sponsible persons. What Hawkins did could have been as readily done by some out- sider with shrewdness enough to obtain a temporary familiarity with the clerks in the office, giving him occasional access to the neighborhood of the safe. But above all the combination should have been changed at Intervals. This cus- tom involves some slight inconvenience, but it is in the line of sensible precaution. It has been facetiously suggested that it reflects sadly upon those in charge of this safe that they permitted a man with only one eye to find the secret of the lock. But in all seriousness it appears that a suffi- cient degree of diligent care has not been exercised in the collector's office. It is to be hoped that the same is not true of other departments of the local government where funds are kept. The District, of course, is jess vitally interested in the matter than are the collector and his bondsmen, but the citizens are directly concerned to the extent of knowing how far the laxity of which Hawkins took advantage is char- acteristic of the administrative bureaus. ‘The case of Dan Williams, who caused the disappearance of several thousand dollars of Police Court fines some months ago, is still fresh in the public mind. The police are interested, however, more directly, for this crime adds to the number of fugitive colored men who are badly wanted at headquarters. Hawkins, how- ever, is not apt to elude his pursuers long, for his physical defect should serve to identify him so surely that his capture ought to follow within a short time. —__+ «2 It is an axiom that there is no telling what Kansas will do. When it happens that the farmers of that state compel the banks to keep cpen in order to receive their deposits, the lying down together of the tion and the lamb dces not seem nearly as improbable as it did. ——_~+2e—_____ Postal Savings Banks. For thirty-six years England has main- tained with increasing success a system of postal savings banks. For over two- thirds of that period attention has been invited by officials and citizens in this country to the desirability of the United States entering upon a similar enterprise. Thus far the idea has never attracted enough favorable notice in Congress to secure its adoption, although it embodies many distinct advantages and affords an opportunity for creative legislation that is sure to produce good results among the people. The «eneral organization of the postal wervice fits it admirably for this business. it reaches the people in every state, county, elty. town and hamlet. It is nearer .o the individual members of the nation than any other public function. As to mere ac- cessivility and conventence, therefore, it affords the best chance for offering the people an unlimited chance to save their €pare pennies, dimes and dollars. The fact thet the government is behind the scheme, that it is Indeed the government itself to which the people are going with their little hoards, serves to command with them that confidence that many of them now lack in the ordinary institutions for similar) purposes. The offer of a small interest rate on deposits—2 per cent is gen- erally favored by the, advocates of the plan—adds to the general attractiveness of the postal savings bank and puts a pre- mium upon increased savings. The experin.ent has met with great suc- cess in England. On the last day of 1896 nearly $50,000,000 was on deposit in the postal savings bank, representing 6,453,507 persons, or about one-fifth of the entire population of Great Britain and Ireland. In the same proportion under similar con- ditions there would be over 13,000,000 de- positors in the United States with aggte- gate savings of fully one billion dollars. These figures are stupendous. They rep- resent the saving power of a prosperous nation. It is not too much to believe that if the experiment were tried in the United States the ratios would be greatly increased over those attained in England. It is not intended that the government should enter into competition with the financiers in the conduct of banking insti- tutions. The nation would seek a class of depositors that is not included among the patrons of the private banks, the men and women who hoard their surplus in secret places and allow it to accumulate without earning interest. There would be, of course, many among the depositors in a postal sav- ings bank who are new patrons of existing institutions. But the government would still keep out of the field of general bank- ing, would probably invest the deposits in its own bonds or in those of states and municipalities, and would trespass as lit- tle as possible upon the field now occupied by the private banks. The average individual deposit in Eng- land last year was a fraction over $14, while the average withdrawal for the year was a trifle over $31. The English system places a maximum limit upon the total deposit, and this feature has always been contemplated in the plans advocated on this side. The withdrawals in England are often caused by the deposits reaching the maximum, when the depositors withdraw to make other investments, only to renew their small accumulations in the postal bank. It is urged in behalf of the postal scheme that it instills in a large class of people a feeling of dependance upon and con- fidence in the government. It encourages thrift, removes from many persons the burden of fear for their savings, -and pro- motes perscnal and, therefore, general pros- perity. These are sufficient reasons why the experiment should be tried here. —___-+ e+ —___ The Ahkund of Swat. Our old friend the Ahkund of Swat is again in evidence. No well regulated up- rising in India is complete without this famous personage. He is an important factor in the present difficulty, for he con- trols the Swat valley, in which most of the fighting is taking place. He has now cast his fortunes with those of the Mad Mullah, the religious fanatic who is seeking to infuse the spirit of religious revolt into the tribesmen. The Ahkund of Swat figured prominently in the Russo-Turkish war. He has alternately been hunted and feasted by the British authorities in India. He holds the key to the situation between the Eng- lish possessions and the Ameer of Afghan- istan, and when he is in complaisant mood toward civilization he is very much “‘per- sona grata” with the queen and her repre- sentatives. The Ahkund of Swat, however, is an instituticn rather than an individual. He never ceases. He is a function, and it is immaterial to the world at large just what his own personality may be, saye so far as it bears upon the political situation of the time. The present Ahkund of Swat is of course another person than the one who inspired Lanigan’s immortal obituary classic. —_>+o—___ Irby’s Invective. Ex-Serator Irby is very argry at Senator Tillman and is trying to say the most cut- tirg things possible about the pitch-fork statesman. In this line he declares that it was he who made Tillman what he is. Not satisfied with this powerful indictment, he goes on to shift the ultimate responsi- bility by alleging that the people made both of them. It is evident that the cam- paign of vituperation in South Carolina is not yet closed. —_--.___ The amount cf money passing into the Possession of the far-western farmer m'ght make {it a profitable enterprise for him to subscribe to a press-clipping agency for everything published on the subjects of gold bricks and bun > «+ ____ The amount of visiting back and forth that goes on among the rulers of Europe is calculated to make each of them rather uneasy about what the rest may be saying behind his back. js ___ The man who robbed the safe at the District building got a large sum of money, but his record is several hundred thousand dollars beaind that of the Lydecker tun- rel. ———+ += _____ Any report of harmogy among the Penn- sylvania republicans may be regarded as a sure sign that Mr. Quay is being ailowed to have his own way. —_++2—_____ The German emperor declares that his grandfather was a chosen instrument of heaven.

In describing the delirium of the crowds im the streets upon the rzturn of President Faure from his visit to Russia, a cable correspondent says: “Here one saw the heart of Paris laid bare with palpitating emotion. The thought crossed the mind, What must be the terri- ble result of reaction on this passionate people of the day should come when they find that they have been deceived?” The suggestion is of interest. That the great majority of the French people are putting an extravagant interpretation on the alliance with Russia seems certain. The comments of the press, no less than the demontrations of the crowds in Paris, show this. Russia is hailed as the long- expected, long-desired friend who is to help France trace again her old boundary line. Germany must now look out. It has been a long wait, but the day for revenge is rapidly approaching. There does not appear the slightest war- rant for this in anything that either the czar or President Faure has said. The terms of the alliance are not, and will not be, made public. But the czar is talking peace, and so is President Faure. How then is a policy of peace to be reconciled with this inflamed expectation of revenge on Germany with Russia’s assistance? Moreover, Russia and Germany are friends. Tke czar and the emperor have but re- cently saluted and pledged each other good will. Do the French imagine that the czar] co: is playing Germany false? To doubt the THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1897-12 P. ly to go on building air castles. Then will come the awakening, and then an explo- sion. Upon whom will their anger and dis- appointment be visited? President Faure? He 1s the popular idol of today, but the life of an idol in Paris is sbmetimes very short. And if his influence should wane because of his having signed for France an alliance not comprehending directly or indirectly the re-establishment of French authority in Alsace-Lorraine, France would find her- self in a worse position than before. She would thus in effect anrounce that she de- sired friendship*only on condition of secur- ing an ally against Germany. —_—__+-—_____ It is more than likely that Mr. Croker will add his indorsement to the newspaper exhortations to Mr. Low to be fearless and independent. —_+2—___ To ask Mr. Platt for an interview at the present crisis is almost as heartless as dis- turbing a chess player when it is his move. —_—___~ + = —_____ SHOOTING STARS.

Still U ppy. “Did you get an appointment?” asked the friend of the man who had been to Wash- ington. “Yes.” “But you don’t seem satisfied.” “I'm not. When I called the Secretary made an appointment to meet me an hour before my excursion ticket expired. And when I called, he wasn’t there.” “Tain’ aHus de energy you puts inter whut you does dat counts,” said Uncle Eben. “Some folks doesn’ ’mind me ob nuffin’ but a skyrocket pinted upside down.” The Colonel’s Comment. “This ts positively shocking!” exclaimed the man who was reading a paper. “To what do you refer?” inquired Col. Stilwell. “This item. A man out west broke his arm in an effort to lift a barrel.” “It serves him right!” was the rejoinder. “ff there's anything I do dislike it’s seeing a man trying to make a pig of himself!”’ “There is one thing I must object to about that lady,” said the rather timid young man. “The one who insists on being a ‘new woman?” “Yes. She is inconsistent. We were dis- cussing the question of what constitutes real greatness. She éxpressed the opinion that there never was but one great man, and that was Joan cf Arc.” An Opinion.

It is not likely that this year the people of Maryland or of Baltimore city, even to obiain relief from what they recognize as present evils, will return to those which they endeavcred to shake off and hoped they were forever rid of in 1895 and 1896. The abuses of boss rule and ring manage- ment provoked the popular revolt of two years ago. Nothing has occurred since to reconcile those who revolted then to a re- turn of the same abuses under the same auspices. Nothing, it should be added, has occurred to reconcile them to the practice of the same abuses under republican rule and different auspices. The new-fledged or would-be republican boss, great or small, is as objectionable as the full-fledged and ma- ture democratic boss of ten, twenty or thirty years’ growth and experience. The plain, honest people of this state and city will have neither of them. The army of in- dependent voters has had numerous re- cruits and has swollen hugely since 1895, and it ts not likely to be influenced by the claquers of either set. Hence the necessity of putting forward strong candidates—men who can command votes and win confidence upon their own merits. It is the independent voter, more than ever, with whom the decision rests— not necessarily the professed or organized independent vote—but the quiet, thoughtful citizen within party lines, who, without making any parade or proclamation of his opinions or his purposes, reserves to him- self the right to vote for the “best mah” without regard to party dictation. It is to the support of this voter that both parties should now appeal. ———>+2s—___ Revenge and Federal Patronage. From the Philadsiphia Press. Senator Wellirgton of Maryland is re- ported as saying that it will be necessary for him to reerrarge his recommendations to the federal offices in that state so as to reward and punish those who did or did not stand by him at the republican state convention last week. That he proposes, as far as possible, to get revenge on those who voted against his attempt to boss the republican party in Maryland is evident by the dismissal from state positions of deicgates who" voted with Congressman Mudd. Mr. Wellington seems to have en- tirely mistaken the nature of the lesson taught him, but he is making a still greater mistake if he imagines that he will be al- lowed to use the federal patronage to ob- tain private revenges. That method was probably pursued twenty years ago, but no man who reads the signs of the times rightly thinks he can do it now. Mr. Wel- lington should hurry and catch up with the republican procession. He is evidently la- boring under the belief that he is living somewhere back in the early ‘seventies, —>+e—____ Too Many Bronze Lincolns. From the Boston Journal.
