0Traiiors te Their State. ~

The ex- Contederates of the South have
protested against the use of the words
traitor and rebel as applied to those who
fought against the Union armies from
1861 to 1865. Southern writer's have
claimed that the use OF these words was a
standing insult to those who espoused the
cause of secession, and within the last
few years the word Confederate or ex-
Confederate has very largely taken the
place OF rebel IN general reference 10 the
war. Up to 1870 nearly all the North who
discussed the war or war measures spoke
of the rebel armies, the rebel government,
the rebel prisons. and so on. At a later
da as we have said. the word Confeder-
ate was used in discussion and in descr p
tive articles. This came from the sense
who believed in State rights. and who ac-

ILLINOIS FARM MORTGAGES.
Calamity Editors VIII Please Read. Pom
der, and Inwartily Digest
from the Chicago Tribune.I

from the Chicago Tribune1 .
An advertisement published by the
Northwestern Bond and Trust Compa-
ny of Chicago, with Offices at Nos. 1919
Dearborn street, appears TO have entirely
escaped the attention of the professional
calamity editors who are continually be-
waillng the manner in which the farmers
OF Illinois are being eaten up by mort
cages. This company is conducting the
business of loaning money on mortgages
on Illinois farms, and its operations are
under the supervision of the Auditor of
Public Accounts. In the advertisement
referred to the company asks the ques-
ton, DO Illinois farmers pay interest
prornptly?" And then it answers this in
teresting inquiry with the following state
ment, taken from its books:
During the year ending Jan. FL 1889. in
terest matured on Our loans TO the
amount Of......... .................... SIIO,JIO
All OF which IL paid except .............. S0s
This is not calculated to afford any
comfort to the calamity editors nor to
corroborate their wild statements on this
subject, but the advertisement proceeds
to PROFOUND another question, and the
figures given in answer are calculated to
drive every calamity editor to drink and
despair. In answer to the question, DO
Illinois farmers ever pay off their mort
gages?' the company makes the following
statement:
During the year loans matured TO the
amount Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. s3i6, $50
We Offer d TO renew all this, but there
paid off and che mortgages
leased les, 40
In other words, nearly one-half of the
mortgage loans held by this company
which came due during the year we're paid
of because the farmers had the mon " TO
meet them with, although they osld have
be, on renewed. 1t will DO an exceedingly
difficult undertaking for the calamity
editors to make this showing OF facts fit
into their assertions and theories, but the
final statement made by this company
gives them a shock which, it may conf
IDENTIFY be predicted, will render them
speechless. In fact, it will -paralyze"
them. In connection with the statement
that the company controls an investment
of 81, 566, 900 in farm loans in Illinois,
the advertisement declares, with cruel
disregard of the feelings of the calamity
editors. that none of our mortga 90 have
been foreclos during the last ten years.

Chicago Dispatch: The other day Hy-

The firm telephoned to the Palmer
house TO find out what was known there
of Mr.. Allen. The reply came back
that nothing was known of him except
that such a person was occupying the
room mentioned to which he had been
assigned three days before, without CIV

William A. Bigler, salesman for the
firm, was sent TO Aliens room with a
package of diamonds worth nearly
81, 500 in his pocket. He also took with
him 10 the room Louis Perret, one OF
the hotel porters. and stationed him
just outside the door. Allen was in his
room bathing in warm water the foot
he said he had injured. Negotiations
for the diamonds were short. Allen
picked out ring worth S65 and pin
worth SIPS.

the bare foot out of the water and hob

down to take something from under the
mattress on the bed. The salesman was
about to look behind him, for he had
been suspicious all the while, when he
was half stunned by a terrific blow on the
head. He got upon his feet and faced
his assailant in time TO partly ward of
the next blow. But the heavy cane in

As To gooDLE.

The Herald jolne other republican pa
pers in charging that Brics owes his elec-
TIC n TO use ofthe money which he pos
sesses. This charge has been made In
nearly every republican newspaper in the
country. Now, as matter of fact there
is not even the semblance Of truth In the
charge that Brice used money TO secure
his election. Not a single republican pa
per In the laad has Addueed an iota OF evil
dence 10 sustain this charge. Not one OF
them has even made pretense OF relating
what the evidence Is. It Is unfortunate
that the democrats OF Ohio should have
seen fit 10 elect man of money TO the Un
lied States Senate, but not withsiandfng
his money, Brice Is a man of the sirictest
integrity. The other charge that he y
rot citizen OF Ohio Is as unfounded as the
charge Of bribery. For years he mas done
ell his voting In Ohio and never exercised
citizenship In New York or elsewhere ex-
cept In Ohio. Il Is in very poor taste fol
republicans a. this late day to interpose
objections 10 the election of wealthy mar
to the United States Senate. It Is the ru's
of that party to elect such men, and It t
an exception TO the rule II they elect an,
other kind. Our contemporaries shonls
remember that Doodle was an essential
element OF success in the last presidential
election, and that there Is scarcely doub

rison owes his election to the unstintej
use OF the Doodle raised by. Quay and Wan

which he consrived and which he unwit
