ONLY RlCn mEs ron orvIcF.

It has been stated In the pubic press
that Mr.. Bayard viii decline to accept
. position in Mr.. Clevealnd's cabine.,
the ground of the deolination being,
that the position calls for greater out
lay of money than MFR, Bayard's ex-
chequer viii justify. In fact II is stated
chat Mr. Bayard has given this - .
reason why he could not accept. OF
course, men who have any knowledge
of Mr.. Bayard's dislike to parade .
matter personal to himself before the
public, will not credit the statement,
yet it may be true that men have COR
rectly OWNED this to be the reason.
But in this statement the great body Of
the people will find much food for re-
Election. Here wa have the statement
that Mr.. Bayard Is comparatively .
poor man, worth about 100000. The
salary Of a cabinet officer is $4,000 per
year, and yet we are told he is too poor
to accept an office with salary which
by nins-tenths of the voters of the
country would be regarded as almost .
fortune.
1t has been the continuing boast of
Americans that our government wss one
Of simplicity Of character, liberality Of
spirit. and cheapness Of administration.
That oil men are equal. That public
position was open to all alike. But il
ell men worth only 100000 are to be
deprived of the privilege of holding an
official position because they are too
poor, how many wen In the United
States are eligible to such position
Under q government of whose freedom
and hberality we have always been 90
proud, we have allowed a custom of ex.
trsvagance to grow up which is al
alarming evidence of its decadenoe oi
public virtue aud patriotism. The
vanity of ostentatious display, Of costly
fetes, is as foolish as it is harmful.
God grant that Cleveland may discoun'
tenence such childish and bArbaric nsn.
sense. Our truly great men need nc
such appeals to sensua'ity to hold the
honor and respect of the people. Ons
who adequately fills high Office ear
have little taste and no time for the
costly follies by which Enasish rulers
amuse their people while they steal their
liberties. The beautiful in art Is costly
and desirable-but should coms after
the true and good. Il has its propei
place. Bat in the best days OF our re-
public, our statesmen were both pool
and pure. If none but he rich can b.
among our rulers, then are we g mere
plutocrscy. No, mol We are = nation
of Democrats, and the time is yet fal
distant when men, capable Of honorabiy
filling any place cannot he found TO livs

BLACKS BILL.

Hon. T. J. Black, one of the men,
bers Of the lower house OF the legis-
latue from this county has secured
the passage OF the following bill
through the lower house, the bill
having been introduced early in the
session by himt
Be- Il enacted, etc.: SEC. /. That
all contracts made and entered into
by and between borrower and lender,
debtor and creditor, or norrgagor and
mortgage, whereby one party shall
agree to pay the taxes on the debt,
credit or mortgage existing or enter.
ed into between such parties, be and
the same are hereby declared legal
and valid; Provided, that any excess
that borrower, debtor, or mortgage
may pay or agree upon In axcess Of
the rate of interest now allowed by
law for the use Of money, shall not he
deemed or taken to be usurious.
SEC. 2. All contracts entered into
under section ] Of this act may be
enforced by the parties thereto In the
courts OF this state; Provided, That In
making the assessments Of credits,
loans or mortgages the same shall be
assessed to the holder therof as now
provided by law.
The effect of this bill will be that
contract will be entered into between
borrower and lender, by which the
latter, In addition to paying the lender
tan per cent interest on the money
borrowed, Will also be required to
pay the tax which NAV be levied up
on the mortgage. Tnis will legalize
thetaking Of usury by the lender to the
extent Of the amount Of taxes which
may be levied upon his mortgage.
AS an example. A man gives a
mortgage upon his farm to secure the
payment of $1,000. The interest at
10 per cent would amount to $500
per anumn. Now the lender and bor-
rover under this bill can enter into
contract by which the latter shall,
10 addition to the interest, pay also
the taxes which may be assessed
against the mortgage, which IL the
rate Of taxes is 2 per cent, would
amount to $50. This 2 per cent
added to the 10 per cent interest
would increase the actual rate paid
by the borrower to II per cent.
It is a grave question whether q
man can pay II per cent interest next
year or the next, when, in many
cases it has been demonstrated that
he can not pay 10.It places the borrow
er whose debt is due very much at the
mercy OF the lender, and ultimately
has the effect Of plungipg him down
deeper into the swelling tide of debt
by which he Is already threatened to
be overwhelmed. This bill Il receiv-
ing very much adverse criticism and
the fiual action of the Senate upon 1t
will b6 closely watched.
