From "The Greeley News.

A SYNDICATE has been formed with
in the past few days, composed of all
the loan companies of this country
and England. This syndicate has
placed its capital stock at $4,000, GOO.
The purpose of this combine of mill
lionairc mortgage companies, accord
ing to the Topeka Capital, is to get up
some plan to induce immigration to
Kansas, so that they can sell the many
farms they have acquired by fOreclos-
ure of mortgages, The Capital tries
to make it appear that these lands
are nearly all in western Kansas, and
have been taken from land speculat-
Ors. 1t speaks of the recent boom in
Kansas, and says that boom greatly
inflated the values of western lands !;
that the spectators abandoned the
lands, and the mortgage companies
had to form combination in order
to protect themselves, ETC., etc. The
Capital also says the syndicate is pre-
pairing to sow large portion of the
land to wheat. Now, much of this
matter in the Capital is misleading.
1t is true that syndicate has been
formed, composed of American and
English millionaires, and it is true
that they have foreclOsed the mort
cages on thousands of Kansas farms,
and, according to the Capital, are &C.
qui,Jng more. 1t is not true, however,
that the farms they have taken, and
are taking, belonged to spectators.
1t is not true that the Kansas boom
inflated the value of farms and farm
land to any great extent. 1t was the
cities and towns that were doomed
and inflated like balloons. The fact
of the matter is, these farms were
taken from Kansas farmers who have
become involved and were unable to
save their homes. This whole thing
is part of the plan inaugurated by
the English capitalists to acquire a
stronger foot-hold on American soil.
1t is big money-making scheme be-
sides. They have loaned money to
our farmers at the rate of One-third
the value (or lcss) of the farms, and
have received heavy rate of interest.
They have foreclosed the mortgages,
and are Offering the farms for sale. In
most instances they will sell to other
persons on time, receiving probably
one-half cash, aud taking mortgage
on the land for the balance. They
will receive high rate of interest for
a few years; the purchasers will be
unable to pay out, and the mortgage
company gets the land again, with
the added improvements. And so 1t
may continue, indefinitely, unless the
government loans money direct to the
people at low rate of interest.

SOME of the g. O.p. papers continue
to try to make it appear that the late
Cleveland administration inaugural
ed the scheme Of allowing pet banks
to use millions Of the peoples money
without the payment of dollar OF
interest. Now, the fact is, the credit
Cor blame) of that scheme belongs to
John Sherman, who inangurated it.
Cleveland's secretary did no better,
and the Harrison administration is
still doing no better. The G. o. p. ed
itor who blames the Cleveland admin
istration withe origin of the scheme
is either a fool or a knave. The Gar
nett Ring-Paper's little editor claims
that Cleveland is responsible; but he
knows less about the affairs Of this
country than lie does about Scotch
poetry.

The Kings DeughtS.rs.

Who arc the Kings Daughters? A
writer in The New York Sun tells the
exquisite story of the founding of the
order and Of their work. In 1886 few
women in a New York parior banded
themselves together one day ''in a loving
sisterhood of service" They mutually
pledged themselves that wherever they
could render a service 10 friend. stran-
ger or enemy that service should be
rendered iovfullv in his name" They
decided 10 call themselves the King s
Daughters. and their badge Of member
ship should be 4 silver cross. The origi-
nal number was ten. These might organ
ize other tens. and were to constitute Il
central council. SO the sweet work be-
gan. Each member pledged herself, IN
his name, 20 keep her eyes open every
day and do whatever good and kindly
thing came in her way. Sometimes II
was n work Of charity; sometimes 1t was
repressing her own bad temper and keep
ing down evil thoughts and the dispOsi-
tion To criticise and pick flaws in a sister
woman. But whatever good was imme-
diately under the King Daughter eve,
that she was TO o. 1T once. There was
no constitution; there were no bylaws;
only the simple pledge TO help others
wherever possible. IL was peculiarly a
woman's organization. At once the so
ciety struck root into the hearts Of wom-
en- all over Amcrica. The seed Travelled
over seas to Europe, Australia and Asia.
and was planted in grateful soil. Local
societies could not be organized rapidly
enough. There are now $4,000 Of the
beautiful Kings Daughters They pub
