THE CABINET DIVIDED ON THE SILL
YER QUESTION:

THE C4BINET DIVIDED ON THE SILL
YER QUESTION.
Thompson, who represents the West, and
Key who represents the South, are for silver,
Devon expounds Massachusetts money and
Boston aristocracy, and Carl Schurz,
as matter of course, represents
the bonds held in Europe. 1t is
unfortunate that people begin to think
that the Hon. Carl Schurz is susceptible
to the influence of money. Whether this
public estimate of Mr.. Schurz's character
be true or false, Mr.. Schurz had probably
better stick to his original character of a
refugee, for the sake of liberty, an exile of
1s48.
Secretary Evarts, who is really the ablest
man of the cabinet, in public
opinion, and John Sherman, who
is the meanest, have not en-
lightened the country, as to their views about
the veto. Secretary Evarts regards his great
legal reputation, let US hope, too highly to
justify the exercise of the veto power in this
case. AS to Sherman, he is too corrupt to
be worthy of comment. AS we have re-
peatedly said, the personal and private opin-
ions of President Hayes are well known
He is opposed to the silver bill, and in favor
of specie payments, without the gold on
hand or not. The President, whether de
tacto or de jeere, is absolutely committed
against a second term, and so he can afford
to let loose of the would-be aristocracy OF
money, and by an answering defense of the
people cause even history to forget the cleo.

AT midnight the House, by vote of II

articles of impeachment will probably be

SURPRISING that the Senate bill limiting
homestead exemptions should become law,
would it take effect against the ''vested
rights of man who has already cheated
his creditors out of fifty thousand dollar
residence? Furthermore, would it not have
a tendency to give the women the advantage
they had in Minnesota along about 1857,
when they owned most of the property in
the State, while their husbands owed most
of the debts?

AS Mr.. Merrill has, by the grace of the
State Of Minnesota, sixty days to determine
whether he will accept the 100000 rendered
him at the expense of the tax payers, we do
not see why he should ask any delay save
for the execution of the trick mentioned.

MORTGAaE FORECLOSURES Il
BANKRUPT DEBTORS.

The present law of foreclosure amounts
simply to the robbery of the debtor, and to
his bankruptcy and ruin. It organizes a
conspiracy of highway bandits, composed Of
shrivelled and unrelenting shylocks demand
ing their pound of flesh, merciless sheriffs
and officers and grasping attorneys united to
rob the unfortunate debtor of all his pro-
perty, to cut off the power to redeem by
piling up usury upon usury mountain high,
with costs and penalties and attorneys fees.
It is ruinous alike to the honest creditor
and to the unfortunate debtor. 1t takes
away from the one the possibility of col
Letting his debt promptly, and from the 9TH
er the means of payment. It introduces
expensive and complicated machinery be-
tween the creditor and the debtor, robbing
both alike.
Take an illustration: Here is the proof.
A man borrows on his homestead worth
$4,000, say, 1920 at IL per cent. per an
mum, for one year. Suppose the mortgage
foreclosed by action under the present law.
This will be low estimate. Look at these

times much more, for very often to get the
loan, he has to pay brokerage of one to
two per cent. We do not profess to give the
exact figures. That would be impossible,
each single case possessing it's we'll defined
and own peculiar robbery.
There is no compromise with such stat
ute as this. It should be wiped out from
beginning to end. Abolish it IN toto. That
is the only doctoring the infamous blotch
needs. The Legislature should restore the
foreclosure by advertisement, forbid all con-
tracts to pay mortgagee's attorney, and COM
pei them to pay themselves, reduce the
sheritf's and clerks fees, so that the whole
expense would not exceed SIS. That is
enough and more than enough.
The law should be general, and
no county left out of its
provisions. The custom of having
Ramsey and other counties excepted from
general laws, in nine cases out of ten is q
fraud. If we use the word, it is because no
other word will do. The people of Ramsey
county do not ask an exception to the oper-
alton of general laws The people are all
opposed to the present law. Abolish it, and
cut off all costs and penalties under the
present scheme of bankruptcy, and here
after let the lenders pay their own attorneys.
