Honest people, who work for living, are
just now being haranSucd by 9 small coterie
Of greenback politicians in the State, whose
headquarters seem to be the Journal Office,
Topeka, and not single one of whom ever
did an honest, square days work, unless it
was in schcming to raise money upon their
brains as collateral, and who are known rs
Elder Mitchell. Sam Wood, Perry d. Maxson,
ct al. These fellows, We say, are daily send
ing out appeals for money to help on the
great cause Of greenbackism. These worth
less de,nagogues send their winning, begging
appeals to every grecnbackcr whose name
they can secure, pleading for contributions
to the so-called Mitchell fund. And what
for? Why these lccches and suckers say it's
TO- campaign fund 10 keep Mitchell in the
field for an aggressive campaign. Who do
they expect 10 send moncy?-and it Is sus-
pected they are getting dead loads Of 1t.
Poor, honest, Woodworking toilers-tillers OF

these and their plotting Of years and y airs in
raising money and eating bread earned by
others, we wish the revision committee had
not wiped hell out Of the new Bible, for a
hell and hot one will be in demand.

We take the following from monetary
article in late issue Of the New York 7ri-
hume 1.-The great expansion Of loans, with
deposits almost equaling them in amount, is
interpreted as evidence that the banks are
placing what money they can quite freely. in
the expectation that still lower rates OF in.
tercst will prevail later in the season. Some
competent authorities believe that money
will be lending at ! per cent on call, before
the end of this month. An immense amount
of money has come into this market within q
few weeks, in payment for securities recent
ly purchased by investors in various parts Of
this country or in Europe, and of many we'll
known securities it is believed that the mar
ket is now carrying much smaller amount
than at any previous time for more than ten
years. In place of these, many new stocks
and bonds have been issued, but the rapidity
and eagerness with which good loans are
taken, often us soon as they are offered,
shows that the supply Of available capital
has by no means been exhausted. In fact,
it is constantly replenishcd by additions
from abroad, and, AS long as the prosperity
of the country continues, this supply is like.
ly to increase. The presence Of large for
eign orders to purchase, at any slight con-
cession in prices, was felt quite plainly in the
stock market to the close of last week"

AN INTERESTING CASE.

CHICAGO, June 1s.-A Battle Creek, Mich
igan, special reports that Mrs. Nellie Ingra-
ham has been unable to eat Since October
last. She is thirty-seven years old, twice
married, and has been possessed OF an unu-
sually robust constitution. She weighed
nearly 49, pounds, but having suffered from
an aching double tooth, she got it extracted.
That day and during the operation she be-
came very nervous and excited, and was Ia
ken home in a state Of prostitution. From
that time on she has loathed food, and it was
torment to her to attempt to eat. She has
taken nourishment several times. but always
with the result Of intense pain and deathly
sickness, followed by spasms. Her life has
been sustained by injections and baths in
nourishing liquids. She now weighs less
than eighty pounds. She has of late lost her
voice. Medical men are greatly interested
in the case,
