The aggregate amount of money which
New Englanders have loaned from time t.
time to aid in the development of the new
lands of the West can in all probability
never be even approximately ascertained
the transactions covering so long a term of
wears and the funds having been distrib.
uted through so many and so diverse agen-
cies. But there can be no question that
the total sum placed with western borrow
ers reaches very high into the millions
and, unfortunately, a part of it has never
come back again. 1t may be the most nat
ural thing in the world for New England
man who, for the sake of high interest
has loaned his little savings in the West,
only to lose them all, to rail indiscriminate
ly against the whole class of investments
That is human nature, and the bad faith
which some western borrowers have kept
has operated and is still operating, more
or less, to the injury of the western coun
try. But we are glad to see that it is com
ing to he more and more distinctly recog-
nized that a loan secured by mortgage on
western property is by no means necessari-
ly an unsafe investment any more than
such loan on New England property is nee
essarily safe one. 1t is a cheering sign that
our people are exhibiting a growing readi-
ness to use their common sense and dis
crlmlnatlon In such matters. Most New
England money which now goes to the West
is placed through loan and trust companies.
and the best of these concerns are as hon
orably and carefully conducted as the most
cautious New England investor could re
qulre. They would no more think of hand
hing their clients money recklessy or max
ing promises which they knew they could
not fulfil than the oldest of our loan and
banking institutions in the East. And if
the western companies are managed with
only ordinary prudence, they can find in
the western farm regions property which
has as solid and substantial value as three
quarters of the real property in New Eng
land. Some of these companies are sound
er and safer than others Not all of them
stand ON the same high plane But as a
general thing it Is not difficult to ascertain
their actual condition, and the New Eng
land investor has little excuse if in choos-
ing among them he makes a mistake The
business of placing loans in the western
country has witnessed a wonderful advance
in methods within the past few years, and
this progress has been accompanied by the
disappearance of many of the old extrava
giant ideas about the speculative value of
western property When New England
err nowadays complains that his experience
with western loans has taught him that the
whole class of investments is fraud and a
delusion, his friends are liable to suspect
that he has been looking more to a big rate
of interest than to the character of the
agents with whom he has dealt or the ma
ture of his security -BOstOn Journal

The Arcs. Of Ru..elI Harrison

The arrest of Russell B. Harrison, the
son of the President, in New York, on Il
charge of libel, preferred against him by
ex-Gov. John 5. Crosby, has no sensational
features whatever. The complaint is based
on story furnished to the Buffalo Com
mercial in March, 1887 by its Washington
correspondent, and republished in the Mon
tana Live Stock journal about six weeks
later, TO the effect that the married daugh-
ter OF wealthy member of Congress had
lost certain valuable jewels which were
traced to an ex-consul who was also an ex-
territorial governor. 1t was at once I'M
derstoOd TO refer TO Col Crosby. The sto-
ry was entirely untrue and the CONNER
clal III October, 1855 printed "a retraction.
Col. Crosby demanded that the Live Stock
journal should not only make a retracton,
but that 1t should print personal apology
from Mr.. Harrison. He threatened 10
bring suit against Mr. Harrison for 800,
900 and the latter being willing 10 retract
but not to apologize, went to New York 10
meet the order of arrest He was under
arrest for only about twelve minutes, the
time required to make out a bail bond for
$4,000. The sureties were W j. Arkel, S.
b. Elkins and Vice President Rice of the
Park bank
Mr. Harrison did not have editorial
charge of the 1--we Stock journal, being
merely the president of the company which
owned it, and it is not claimed that he was
IN any way personally responsible for the
publication of the story in question His
newspaper has published a retraction and
under the circumstances he does not con
slider 1t his duty to make personal retrac-
ton.
