WHERE A FARMER WINS.


Usurious Interest Charged by Security
Companies Forfeits Principal and Inter-
est.
The Arkansas Supreme Court handed
down an important decision Saturday.
Some time ago Hardy M. Banks, farm
er of Yell County, negotiated loan of
$1,000 from the New England Mort
gage and Security Company and the
Corbin Banking Company, of Boston.
The loan was made through Broker
Ocobock, of Memphis. The sum Of
5000 was taken out of the principal
for interest, and Banks was paid only
$780, In return the farmer executed
notes and gave the Security Company a
mortgage on his farm to secure their
payment. The notes came due, but
were not satisfied, and proceedings for a
foreclosure were commenced in the Yell
County court Banks lost the case and
appealed to the Supreme Court. Satur-
day decision was rendered against tho
Security Company. The court held that
the interest charged was usurious, which
fact forfeited the principal and interest.
The farmer is ahead just $780,

The Result in South Dakota.

Additional returns confirm the earlier
reports and increase the Republican
Senators to 25, with several districts in
South Dakota unreported. The Re-
publicans have a majority in
the House, the opposition having only
48, provided all unreported districts are
theirs, which is not at all likely. Mel
lette, Rep, now has on the returns re-
ceived over 5000 plurality for Governor.
Huron continues to claim the Capital by
majority of 1,762. Other specials to
the local papers from South Dakota
points give the Capital to Pierre by from
5000 to $4,000 majority.

THE WAR DEPARTMENT,

HOW the Standing Army Hns Been
Managed.
The report of the secretary of war ex-
hibits several gratifying results attained
during the year by wise and unosteatatious
methods. The percentage of desertions
from the army Gan evil for which both
congress and the department have long
been seeking remedy has been reduced
during the last year "a per cent and for the
months of August and September, during
which time the favorable effects of the act
of June is were felt, SO per cent as COM
pared With the same months of
1889. The results attained by a
divisions having charge of the hospital
service records of the volunteer soldiers
are very remarkable. This change was eff
fcctcd in July, 1889, and at that time there
were 40, 654 cases awaiting attention, more
than half Of these being calls from the PEN
sion office for information necessary to the
adjudication Of pension claims. On the
10th day of June last, though over 900, 600
new calls had come in, there was not n
single case that had not been examined
and entered.
concur in the recommendations of the
secretary that adequate and regular appro-
prlatlons be continued for coast defense
works and ordnance. Plans have been
practically agreed upon, and there can be
no good reason for delaying the exc
cution of them, while the defense
less state of our great seaports
furnishes an urgent reason for wise ex-
petition. The encouragement that has
been extended to the militia of the states,
generally most appropriately designated
the national guard should be continued
and enlarged. These military organiza-
tons constitute In large sense the army
of the United States, while about five
sixths of the annual cost of their main
tenance is betrayed by the states.

n Vigorous Prosecution of All Fed
eral Law Breakers.
The report of the attorney general is,
under the law, submitted directly to con-
gress, but as the department of justice is
one of the executive departments some
reference to the work done is appropriate
here.
A vigorous and, in the main, an effec-
tive effort has beer made to bring to trial
and punishment all violators of the laws;
but at the same time care has been taken
that frivolous and technical ofTcnscs
should not be used to swell the fees OF of
Ulcers or to harass well disposed citizens,
Especial attention is called TO the facts
connected with the prosecution of
VIOLATIONS OF THE ELECTION LAWS,
and of offenses against United States Of
hcerS. The number of convictions secured,
very many Of them upon pleas of guilty,
VIII, 1t Is hoped, have salutary restraining
influence.
There have been several cases where
!postmasters appointed by me have been
subjected TO Violent interference In the dis
charge OF their duties and to prosecutions
and personal violence of the most extreme
character. Some of these cases have been
dealt with through the department of
Justice and in some cases the postofices

FARMERS AGITATION.
Tho Report OF the Secretary OF Agri-

Tho Report OF the Secretary OF Agri-
culture Especially Important.
The report of the secretary of agricul-
ture deserves especial attention In view of
the fact that the year has been marked In
"a very unusual degree by agitation and
organization among the farmers looking to
an increase In the profits Of their business.
1t will be found that the efforts of the de-
partment have been intelligently and zeal
ously devoted to the promotion of the in
terests intrusted to its care. A very sub
stantial Improvement In the market prices
or the leading farm products during the
year Is noticed. The price Of wheat, corn
and barley has advanced greatly. Meats
showed substantial but not so large an
increase: The export trade In live ami
mails and fowls shows a very large increase.
Nearly 100000 cattle and over 1900 more
hogs were exported than In the preceding
year. This export trade in beef and pork
and In dairy products has very largely in
creased.
This trade, so directly helpful TO the
farmer, 1t is beloved will be yet further
and largely increased when the system Of
Inspection and sanitary supervision now
provided by law Is brought fully into oper-
alton. Tho efforts OF the secretary to
establish the healthfulness OF our meats
against the disparaging imputations that
suited In substantial progress. This in
spection abroad and the domestic inspec-
lion OF live animals and PORK products,
provided for by the act of August 80, 1880,

wholesomeness of our meats offered for
foreign consumption as is anywhere given

IT Is likely that in every country
there are many persons who would ex-
change life for gold, providing they
could receive the compensation a con
siderable time in advance of deliver
ing themselves up to death. The
number of suicides in our own and
other countries show how many think
that life is not worth living. If a
premium were offered the number of
suicides would increase. Money will
tempt persons to engage in the most
perilous pursuits. The compensation
OF soldiers is generally much smaller
than that OF persons engaged In peace
ful pursuits that are not attended by
danger, but at the commencement of a
war there are always volunteers
enough.

III has been shown that it is not ONLY
possible for the hypnotizer to reduce
his subject absolutely to his will at a
certain time when the force is in
operation, but that at any subsequent
time its influence can be revived and
the subject involuntarily be compelled
to perform acts willed originally per-
haps six months or year before by
the hypnotizer. The vista that Is thus
opened is simply boundless. A con-
scienceless specialist practicing hyp-
notism would have at his mercy all
persons susceptible to this elusive
power. One man might be induced

TO make the will at a distance from

WAsuINGToN, d. c., Dec. Especial. !
The second session of the Fifty-first con-
gross assembled today. Unusual hustle
and activity was observable at the house
and in the corridors of the capitol at an early
hour this morning, as result of the prep
aration for the opening day in the house.
| There were several new members TO be
sworn in and some other preliminary bust
ness TO be attended to before the appoint
ment of the usual committee TO wait on the
president to notify him that congress is
ready for business. This delayed the re-
ccipt OF the presidents annual message by
both houses until 80 o'clock. The mes
sage was as follows:
To the Senate and House OF Representa-
tives: The reports of the several executive
departments, which will be laid before con-
gress in the usual course, will exhibit in
detail the operations OF the government
for the last fiscal year. Only the more i'm
portant incidents and results and chiefly
such as may be the foundation of tho
recommendations | shall submit, will be re-
ferred TO in this annual message.
The vast and increasing business of the
government has been transacted by the
several departments during the year with
faithfulness, energy and success. The
revenues, amounting to above $3.50, OOO, 900,
have been collected and disbursed without
revealing, so far as l can ascertain, a single
case of defalcation or embezzlement. An
earnest effort has been made to stimulate
a sense of responsibility and public duty
In all officers and employees of every
grade and the work done by them has al
most wholly escaped unfavorable criti-
cism. l speak of these matters with free
dom because the credit of this good work
Is not mine, but is shared by the heads Of
the several departments with the great
body of faithful officers and employees who
serve under them. The closest scrutiny of
congress Is invited to all the methods of
Gu administration and to every item of
expenditure.

few men die OF age. Death is the re-

often see the strong man cut down
suddenly and the invalid living his

that the strong man uses up his
strength and the weak one nurses the
