RUINOUS INTEREST.

A Washington correspondent un-
der the non de-plume Of "Gath" has
been examining some Of the figures
received at the Census Bureau and
has this to say:
The highest mortgage interest paid in the
whole country is III Arizona, whore it some
times amounts TO 70 per cent. year OF 6
per cent. month. A veYy common thing
in that country is to find interest at SO per
cent. year or per cent month. II sell
dom runs down in Arizona, according to
these returns, TO less than about 20 per cent.
inquired the cause of such astonishingin-
terest, and was told that it was due to the
small amount of capital taken to that Terri
tory. The State of Alabama, standing high
up on the alphabetical list of States, had
also been partly heard from, and some of
the mortgages in Alabama were astonishing.
In Greene county and in Dark county there
were mortgages of SO per cent, or 3 per
cent. month. the money generally lent in
small amounts, such as $3.50 or $500. "and,"
said the agent of the census, "they have
loan system down there in Alabama by which
the crop as we'll as the land is answerable
for these loans"
1t isn't often that such per cent.
for money has been secured in the
South, but when it comes to "sup-
plies" the per cent. Of Arizona sinks
into insignfcance Wedo not mean
such prices are paid now. Oh, no;
thanks to the alliance, we can buy
goods on time now at as small per
cent. as was charged j. years ago
on cash sales.

HOW IS THIs2

1t is being publicly charged that
Mr.. Macune, the man running the
National Economist newspaper is
doing SO with nearly 100000 Re-
publican Doodle behind it. A spe-
cial dispatch from Washington to
the Memphis Commercial. of April
22nd, says that paper published at
Macune's home in Texas, freely
charges the above fact.
1t is further stated that at meet
ing of one Of the committee, in
Congress on the sub-treasury bill,
Macune remained with the Repub-
licans Of that committee after the
Democrats had left.
This looks little suspicious. Il
the Economist is wolf in sheep's
clothing our farmers want to know
it.
We know nothing Of it. But it
does look Il little suspicious that
Judge Simrall is one Of the heavy
contributors to the Economist.
The Judge is u Republican and
does not care too much for the Dem
ocratic farmers Of Mississippi, or Of
the country.-Oxford Eagle.
Does the Eagle and other papers
that have published the above really
want to know? II so, we will state
that it is u lie, pure and unadultera-
ted without any admixture Of truth,
Do these papers not know that

these things annoy us; not that we
believe they will hurt che order, but
because we dislike to come in con
tact with men who adopt such meas
nres, evidently for the sole purpose
Of catching the ear of those who are
opposed to the alliance.

The farmer who says he has not
the time TO read paper that is la
boring to support the cause in which
he is most interested makes the ac-
acknowledgements at once that he has
turned too much Of his business
over to the other fellows. This po-
sition is grand mistake Of the far
mer. He should endeavor to con
duct his business so that he can have
time to read, and by SO doing he can
post himself ON questions wherein
he will be able to cope with the
other fellows, who are speculating
at his expense.-Ex.

We regret to have to record the
assignment of the alliance store at
Brookhaven, and while these fail
ures come to others as we'll as alli-
ance houses, such great publicity as
is given to alliance failures IS not ac-
corded to others.
We felt at the time of the organ
ization Of this enterprise that our
brethren were making mistake.
The State Alliance had provided
through the Exchange for the pur-
chase Of all commercial commodi-
ties, and our members should have
directed their patronage in that
channel.
We get no facts as to the cause
of the failure. Evidently there must
have been some bad management.
cooperative stores can be made
success, as cooperation in any en-
terprise can be, when properly con-
Quoted.

RECOVERED HIS LITTLE GIRL.

The Troubles of a Deserted Husband
Aired In q Police Station.
There was a little flutter of excitement
in Morris street Tuesday afternoon.
Michael Hollands, OF No. 1853 Court street,
Brooklyn, accompanied by a man named
James Marsh, came over to this city to
find his tw~elve-year-old daughter, whom
he suspected was stopping with her aunt
on Morris street. Two weeks ago Roll
lands wife left him and took the child
with her. Hollands and his friena found
the little girl skipping q rope with a party
OF children. The child recognized her
father and was glad he came after her,
and eheerfully consented to go home
with him.
The aunt, who saw the meeting from a
window, then made her appearance and
accused the men of attempting to kidnap
the child. A number of people collected.
Patrolman Harrigan stepped up and
Mr.. Hollands cheerfully went to the
statian GUS and made an explanation.
He told the Sergeant at the desk that his
wife left him to go on a spree. She had
done this same thing a number of times,
and once he found his little daughter,
who accompanied her, with q negro
family IN the outskirts of Brooklyn.
Mr.. Hollands was allowed to take his
child. The aunt followed him to the
ferry and loudly protested. She was ar
rested by Patroiman Richrich. but no
charge was preferred.
