Quick as the quickest, the Burling- ton Minneapolis and St. Pauw) icago and Sp. Louis Limited. An Electric lighted, steam heated, wide vestibuted train, fresti from the builder’s hands. Built av cost of over $100,000. Most beautiful, luxurious, complete train — ever placed in service on any railroad in avy country. “] am very glad,” man Towne toa Hi see that ¢ spore come to the conclusion — country needs a system: savings banks, and that y practicable system is devisal Un- doubtedly a dozen or two bills on the y subject will be introduced at the next session of. congress, as has” been the case at every session f some years past. Mr. Morris will in- dicate his opinion on the question by the introduction of his bill, but that will be the end of it. . By the time he has had a little more experience run- ning up against the house < e presentatives as at present constitut- edand controlled he may reach the conclusion, as I did, and no more re- luctantly, that measures chiefly meritorious because of their design to relieve the sufferings and cop- tribute to the convenience of the ‘common people’ stand mighty little chance of becoming laws. When he, has spent as much time trying to get some assurance of consideration fora postal savings bank bill as I spent during the Fifty-fourth congress in trying the same ‘thing, he will be in a less hopeful frame of mind. “The qualified acceptance of the— scheme here and there by certain bankers should* not blind us to the fact that the moneyed interest as a whole is opposed to the idea. The house of representatives, under Mr. Reed, is no longer a deliberative body, but has become a machine worked by one lever, To the uninitiated it ‘works in a mysterious way,’ too. You may put anything you like into the hopper, but’ you haven’t the slightest say about the grist. My able and enthusiastic successor will dump his postal savings bill intd the mill along with a score or two more of the same sort, mixed with a goodly number of big petitions for their passage, and none of them will ever be heard of more. The next session of the Fifty-fifth congress will be too busy retiring the greenbacks and ‘placing the country ona safe cur- rency basis’ and ‘taking the govern- ment out of the banking business’ (to borrow a phrase from the program of Congressman Morris’ party as an- nounced from every stump in 1896), to tind time for government postal savings banks. No; I predict that not one day will be set aside next session for the «consideration of the proposition.” Sole leather pacs, 10-inch leg, black, $5.00. Strictly hand made by Kurtzman. Two $100,000 Trains. On the first of June, 1897, the Bur- lington Route placed in service be- tween Minneapolis and St. Paul and Chicago, two new trains, built ata cost of considerable more than $100,- 000 each, and recognized by everyone who has seen them, as the finest trains on earth. The trains are lighted by electrici- ty; heated by steam; have wide vesti- bules, a la carle dining car, a buffet library car, chair cars—everything, in brief, that any other train has and some things that no other train has.
