unprlvlleged classes in order TO be-
stow special iavon upon money
mongers and privileged fnanciersl
The Capital when averring that
'the national banks have paid TO the
government altogether S37l,OO0,OOO
OF taxes on their ISSUE" is silent as
the grave on the matter Of national
bank profits.
Would this journal care to tell It's
readers that for a period Of a quarter
OF century these national banks had
received as interest on circulation,
compounded at s per cent the sum OF
$2,0l884l,O737 Would itcondescend
to say that they had received as in
terest on United States bonds at Al
per cent the amount Of $3.50, 400, 1867
That they had had interest on de-
posits at A per cent $2,307 247, ,O53H
And that they had absorbed as profits
on bond purchases, the profitable in-
crease of A81, ,14l, 1902 Letit be said
the addition Of the four amounts given
would reach $5,969,649992. How
would the foregoing conservative esti-
mate from figures made by the banks
in their transactions with the govern
ment and the American people, seem
to those who are living on the theory
that it is really the duty Of each to
seek the good Of all and that all
should seek the good Of each.
If we but consider that this vast
mass Of money was paid by producers
for the use Of a tool Of exchange, that
really should not have cost scarcely
anything, could we fail to realize that
these national banks are surely a very
costly luxury; in fine; might we not
Justly feel that something in the ma
chiuery Of the circulation was most
radically wrong7 Would not a sturdy
common sense suggest that the actual
tool Of exchange should be 80 cheap
and so readily comestable that no set
Of men could levy this mammOn's
tribute upon the people, and, more
over that it should be 80 adjusted that
it might expand inI ConsOnanCe with
the best interest Of the real sover-
eigns Of our land?
lis il any wonder that men should
think with Thomas Jefferson that "all
money should be issued directly to
the people to whom it really Belongs"
that they should feel, especially in
these later days with Thomas H. Ben
ton that "sll property is at the mercy
Of Lthe money powerp And is not
that the most dangerous power that
can reside with any man or any set Of
men?
To show the Capital how little
value was put upon it's pathetic edi-
torial, "Pass Senator Sherman's Bill"
The ADVOCATE cheertully gives place
to communication that appeared in
the Capital just one week later, from

THE FARM MORTGAGE QUESTION.

number Of mortgages In Kansas. An order Of
notice Was issued roturnabe In March, 1891.
Accepting the Capital as authority
upon the question of farm mortgages
and the prosperity Of Kansas farmers,
how can il be that there is danger Of
foreclosure OF "a large number Of
mortgages in Kansasp The blind
partisan zeal that persistently dis
guises the true condition Of the peo-
pie for deceptive purposes until the
homes Of our citizens are confscated
by the mortgage companies must
certainly be entitled 10 very great
consideration. les reliability upon
this question was fully demonstrated
during the recent campaign. As an
illustration il stated that upon e1-
animation of the records OF Shawnee
county, il was ascertained that there
had been eight foreclosures in the
county during the previous eight
months. The ADVOCATE examined
the records aud tabulsted over 200
foreclosures from the first OF June
to about the first Of October The
fact is no representative OF the C0pi-
tHl ever examined the records Of
Shawnee county to ascertain the
number of mortgage foreclosures,
but the statement was simply made
with the design Of deceiving the peO-
pie, and it is by this persistent policy
of deception that the Capital hopes
to perpetuate the reign of the repub-
liCan party.

have been iled in the office of secretary
of state at Lansing, capital stock s., 900, 900.
The com1,hg is authorized to construct a
railroad from the state line between Mich
igan and Ohio, in the county of Lenawee-
north via Saginaw 10 the Straits OF Mack
mac. The incorporators are practically
the same as those now owning the Toledo,
Saginaw & Mackin c, and the above object
OF the new organization is to avoid coufus-
ion of names with the Toledo Saginaw &
Muskegon and also TO effect a change OF the
southern terminus OF the road. Rolling
stock Is being purchased and other prepa-
rations made TO increase the traffic and ex-
tend tue road as soon as the company shall
be operated Independently of all previous
connections and from Saginaw as the head
quarters of the company.
1890, what is now known as the Toledo,
Saginaw & Mackinac railroad company,
will pass out of existence aud be succeeded
by the new Cincinnati, Saginaw & Macki-
nae company. The southern terminus Of
the road will be changed from Toledo to
Cincinnati, the company recognizing the
fact that direct line to Toledo is already
in operation from Saginaw, At Durand
the road will form independent connections
with the Grand Trunk, Detroit, Grand
Haven g. Milwaukee and the Toledo, Ann
Arbor & North Michigan, but will early
next season push its own line southwark as
well as northward, thus giving the Sagi.

NEWS SUMMARY.
PARNsLL IN A NEW ROLE.
He Is Made Co Respondent in Di-
yOrce Shit.


An action for divorce has been filed in
London by Capt . Shea, ex member OF
parliament, against his wife. The petit
ton makes Mr.. Parnel correspondent and
asks for divorce on the grounds of adul-
terry. The petition sets forth that the acts
OF adultery were committed at Ethan, "a
York terrace, Regents park; Brighton
and Arlington, Sussex, between April l,
1886, and the date of the petition. In an
interview with a United Press reporter
Capt. O'Shea said: "fhe charges are true,
OF course, but do not claim damages"
The relations Of Capt. O'Sheas family
and Mr.. Parnell have long been considered
intimate. The Irish leader was and is no.
torious for his secretiveness. He was ac-
customed TO leave the house Of commons
aad run of TO a railway station, whence lie
took the rail for Kent. Finally it cam Q
out that he was enjoying the seclusion OF
the home OF Capt. O'Shes, an ex-army
officer, with a country residence. The re-
lations of Mr.. Parnell and the O'Shea
family were the subject of more or less
comment in time, and when Mr.. Parnell
nominated the captain TO seat in parlia-
ment, the indignation in the Irish parlia-
mentary party came very near expressing
itself in revolt O'Shed went into parlia-
ment and went out again, making no name
for himself and causing no embarrassment
TO the party, though there was suspicion
that the preferment OF the ex-army officer
was not the result Of the most disinterested
motives.

Must Have a Warrant.

In 1888 Kalamazoo policeman arrested
Jennie Pinkerton on a charge of being a

damage suit against the officer, but was
defeated. The supreme court has set aside

opinion says if persons can be deprived of
their liberty without a warrant for their
arrest there is practically no limit TO the
powers of the police. The court holds that
unless some bre oh of the peace is COM
mitted in an officers presence, or the per-
son arrested must be suspected of having
committed felony, this method of arrest
would destroy all constitutional rights OF

Judge Bogert Of Clifton Tears up
the Electric street Railways Rails.

The New York Woyla has been
publishing accounts of the struggle
the Passaic, Clifton and GARFIELD
Electric Railway is having in
order to reach Clifton with Its
tracks ana wires. Several persons
have expressed surprise that the
daily press of Passaic is blind to
such matters. According to the
W01ld Judge Bogert objects to the
Disagreement of his property by
the poles and rails, and also be
cause the track has been placed
near his curb instead of near the
centre of the street. The Judge
is willing to settle for considera-
tion and, in his anxiety to bring
matters to speedy settlement,
has begun tearing up the track.
A force of four men succeeded,
after three hours hard work, in
removing two rails and cutting the
underground wire. The Judge is
more determined than ever to
make the company accept his
terms, $4,000, or move their road
off his property. He says his
attorney instructed him to tear up
the road. The railroad company
has taken no decided action. If
the Judge persists in his opposition
the company, it is said, will move
the track to the other side of the
street.

Not All Black sheep in Dundee.

Two respectable young men went up
to see the ball game a few days ago;
they were quietly watching it not motto
ing any body when two young persons,
who had the appearance of young ladies,
passed. Look at those Dundee loafers, :"
said one to the other, as they scornfully
passed them by. Those young men
were both sober, honest Sunday-school
boys, but were guilty of living in the sec
ton of Passaic where the working people
have to live.
Some ladies stood on the sidewalk
watching the beautiful sight of
SO many happy Sunday-school workers
pass by on Children's Day. "Ah! here
comes Dundee Mission" said one.
"Why, don't they look clean and nice, :"
said the other las ii very much surprised).
'sWell, declare, they are nice looking
children" said the first one.
There were several ladies standing
near by; one the president of a flourish
ing order in Passaic, another a well
known temperance worker, another the
wife of one of the superintendents in one
of our mil1s-all residents of Dundee,
who heard the remarks and whose chill
dren were in line Their Indignation
can be imagined when the ladies closed
their remarks by saying Il guess they
are nearly all foreigners.
We would like our 'Hill' neighbors to
know there are just as clean. honest, re-
spectacle, well educated people in Dun
dee as in any other part of our city.
