Usury Law and Usnrers.

One of the measures that will come
before the legislature will be an amend
ment to the present usury law. The
law as it now stands is no protection
whatever to the borrower, for the rea-
son that there is virtually no penalty.
The house of representatives can be
trusted to pass IA measure i'm keeping
with its Importance. Usury is grinding
the life out of some of our best citizens;
the rule of the money lenders being to
charge the poor man the highest rate of
interest. The only passage Of scripture
with which the money lender seems to
he acquainted is that IN which it is de-
clared "That to him that hath shall be
given, and to him that hath not, shall
lie taken away even that which he hath"
The law does not compel anyone to loan
money at any rate of interest, but the
law should compel anyone who has
money to loan, to loan TO at rates fixed
by law, to rich and poor alike; the
loaner always having the right to judge
of the security taken. But lOaner
cannot, either i'm ethics, or statutory
law, claim the right, or be permitted to
exact higher rate of interest because
the borrower has no security but chat
rels. From all extensive acquaintance,
AMI from reliable citizens, that money
lenders have charged as high a rate of
interest as 80 per cent. per annum; 9TH
ers 36A per cent, while it is not uncOm-
mon TO charge "a per cent. These
charges fall upon those least able to bear
them. Often the money borrowed is to
pay interest OH Il mortgage, or again, it
is to release chattels whose value is
largely in excess of the amount thus Sc
cured. In any case TO borrow seems to
be necessity under present conditions.
1t is borrow or do worse, and as the Sc
quel shows is to do worse, for 30 or "a
or y per cent. is mure than farmers can
safely carry.
In SolOmOn's time, the borrower was
the servant to the lender. In our time
the borrower is more than servant-he
Is slave as long as the thraldOm lasts,
and when he goes free, he is penniless.
The money lender has no more right to
evade the law, than has the horse thief
or the keeper of a Joint" and if found
so doing, his responsibility should count
for naught; he should be treated as any
other law-breaker, and doubtless the
present legislature can be counted upon
for some measure that will afford the
borrower some relief from the rapacity
of the lender.

WE were told that after the late
election there would be reaction,
and those who voted the Peoples
ticket would flock back to the old
party. a few DAYS ago, at the special
election in the 32d senatorial district,
the Peoples vote showed a gain OF
600 over the November election.
hOw's that for reaction?

The Alliance Lobby.


The Alliance is being held up to ridi-
Guile because it will have some of its
influential members in Topeka during
the contest for United States senator
ship. Among the papers that seem to
be exercised is our neighbor, the Car
nett Piaindealer. But the Plaindealer,
as we'll as other journals of the g. o. p.
persuasion, is laboring under false
impressions. The Plaindealer will recall
that the people made their fight for
United States senator and congressman.
The contest for congressman Is settled ;
not so for United States senator. Nat
urally, much interest centers around the
contest to be had in the legislature.
Mr.. ingalls, cannot be reelected if the
Alliance members are true to their con-
stituents. Mr.. ingalls, friends claim
Alliance votes. The claim is true or il
is false. If the claim is true, the votes
must be bought. If votes are bought,
the Alliance is determined to know who
bought, as well as who sold, and it will
have enough Of good men in Topeka to
watch the outside as well as the inside.
It is not mistrust of Alliance members
of the legislature. 1t is mistrust OF
trs ps and receptions of corrupt and I'M
scr,ipulous schemers.
If Mr.. ingalls, had accepted the cleo
ton as decisive, there would be nc
excitement. The legislature woulo
quietly proceed, when the time came, tt
elect United States senator. The con
test that Mr.. Ingalls, has inaugurated
will, even if he succeeds, lower him IL
the estimation of all right-thinking PEG
pie. Mr.. Ingalls, is fairly beaten
Washington, Webster, Clay, Lincoln OF
Plumb, under the circumstances, woult
have retired without a word. Mr.. In
gals persists in his attempt to AGAR
force himself upon the people. Mr.. In
gals might know by this time that the
'muddy-legged rural ROSTERS" haye,
although they scratch in barnyard, the
grit to fight, us well as scratch. What
ever excitement there may be, whatever
corruption, whatever is disgraceful al
the coming election OF United States
senator, will be charged to its authors
the ingalls, crowd.
The Alliance claims its own, in q
fairly won, but hard-fought, battle. The
Alliance representatives will not object
to the presence in Topeka of men who
stood shoulder to shoulder with them
through one of the hottest political bat
ties eyer fought in Kansas.

The Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union, the National Farmers Alliance,
the Farmers Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton, the Patrons of Husbandry. the
the Farmers League, the Citizens Al
lance and the Knights of Labor, in
their national assemblies, have all de-
clared Tor more money, and none OF the
bodies mentioned are perhaps in favor of
a less circulation than $50 per capita. 1t
is also generally held that more money
is by far the leading question of the
day; so much so that other questions
are largely lost sight of. The money
question will also be the leading ques-
ton in '92, and as both the old parties
are welded to the money power, new
party embracing every state in the Un-
ion, is absolutely necessary, and even
though it be led by "sockless statesmen, ,"
the superior attainments of the rank and
file, will, as was the case in the late
election i'm Kansas, bear the movement
forward to successful issue.

The Funnels Of steamers.

Few people have any idea of the size OF
the tunnels on the great ocean steamers.
II you ask the first half dozen people you
meet for their estimate it is not likely that
one of them will name a figure one-hali
the actual size. Most persons would say
that the diameter of the largest steamer
funnel is four to six feet and would want
to wager that it was not more than eight
feet. How far from the actual size such
guesses are may be understood when it Is
stated that the funnel of the Etruria meas
ures little over eighteen feet in diane
ter. At even a short distance away this
can hardly be believed. 1t gives an idea
of the enormous size of the big steamers

nowadays that we accept them as a mat

Even the much despised tramp has
often more honor than he's given credit
for, as witness the following from New
Jersey: Fourteen years ago tramp
knocked at the door of Daniel Palmer,
in South Orange township, Essex
county, and asked for hat. By mis-
take one of the daughters gave him her
fathers best silk hat, discovering the
paistake just as the tramp started away
with it. An exclamation by her sister
appraised the tramp Of the prize he had
received. Little thought was after given
to the matter until a few mornings ago
when a clean new hat box was found on
the front porch. 1t contained new
silk hat. and this explanation within on
slip of paper; To replace your father
best silk hat, taken by me fourteen
wears ago. Exchange.

The day cannot be far distant when 1t
will become necessary for the lawmakers
Of the land to legislate against the camera
upon the same lines and upon the Same
principle that it has already been found
necessary to legislate against the carrying
Of concealed weapons. There is always .
theory that the general good sense Of the
community will regulate these things. and
very likely in the long run the good sense
Of the community-or the indifference Of
the community, which comes to the same
thing, by allowing thing to slip out Of
sight altogether-fulfillst the function thus
optimistically allotted to it; but in the
meantime the irritation of the nuisance de-
mands some more speedy and drastic
remedy.
1t is the opinion of the editor, reached
after careful study of the situation, and
Z temperate and dispassionate review
thereof, that for an amateur to be found
going about with an ordinary camera
should be made misdemeanor punishable
by confiscation of the instrument and a
fine to be regulated according to circum-
stances To be found with detective
camera should in an amateur be punished
by Imprisonment for life; in a professional
by instant death. Could these precise but
mild laws be passed and rigidly enforced,
there would be a very notable change in
the comfort and in the moral tone of the
community.
1t is impossible that there should be any
high average of ethical feeling in the land
as long as the camera fiend is daily and
hourly allowe,. to trample upon every feel
ing Of individual liberty and freedom; and
unless something is done to check this rapid
ly growing evil, who knows whether civil
cation will be able even to last out the
centuryi-Boston Courier.
