Right to Redeem.

If thy brother be waxen poor,
and hath sold away some Of his
possession, and if any of his kin
come to redeem it, then shall he
redeem that which his brother sold.
And if the man hath none to redeem
it, and himself be able to redeem,
then let him count the years of the
sale thereof, and restore the over
plus unto the man to whom he sold
it, that he may return unto his pos
session. 25: 1921
Thus we see that oppression was
not to be tolerated under the Jewish
law. So we take it that poor man
becoming embarrassed does not JUS
tify the enactment of such laws as
will bar his right to redeem his
property in case it is sold under
mortgage. For the purpose of pro-
tscting the rights of mortgagors
under the present mortgage laws Of
Kansas, enacted under Republican
administration, the Peoples house
of the legislature, last winter, pass
ed a bill amending the mortgage
laws of Kansas so as to give the
mortgagor the right to redeem his
property sold under mortgage.
This bill was defeated by the Re-
publican senate. So it is easy to
see what party it is that has placed
oppressive and unjust laws in the
statute book of Kansas, and now
refuses to amend them.
He that oppresseth the poor, re-
proacheth his Maker; but he that
honoreth Him, hath mercy on the
poor.-Prov. IA: 81.
Envy thou not the oppressor, and
choose none of his ways.-Prov.
3: 81.
Whose side are you on? Are
you on the side of the party that
has enacted laws of oppression, or
are you on the side of the party
that proposes to enact laws of
mercy

Behold, therefore, 1 have smitten
mine hand at the dishonest gain
which thou hast made, and at thy
blood which hath been in the midst
of thee.-Ezek. 22:12, Is.
The command and warning of the
Lord, given in His law, never has,
and never will, be changed. He
hears the cry of the oppressed, the
widow and the fatherless of to-day,
the same as He heard them when
the above words were spoken by
Ezekiel.
eye shall not afflict any widow
or fatherless child"
We don't have to go out of An
derson county or the state of Kan
sas, to-day, to find money usury ex-
tortioners, that by virtue of the
usury or interest laws Of Kansas,
enacted under Republican admins
tration, have made it their business,
direct or indirect, to take advan-
tage of the inefficiency of the law,
and thereby take advantage of the
necessity forced on the people by
virtue of unjust legislation, and
exact off of necessity a rate of
usury or extortion ranging from
fifty to three hundred per cent. per
annum. Hence we say that to-day,
a just God is hearing the cries that
are going up to Him from the
wives, the children, the widows and
the fatherless who are suffering on
account of those greedy blood-suck-
ers, and the inefficiency of the in
terest laws Of the state.
For this reason, the Alliance, or
Peoples house of the Legislature,
last winter, introduced or passed a
bill amending the interest law of
the state by fixing severe penalty
for exacting a greater rate of inter-
est than that which was then allow
ed by law. This bill was also
defeated by the Republican age-of-
consent senate.

Wall Street Veterans.

W LOT Cne statement CnaC an
organization of veterans had been
started in Washington for the pur-
pose of opposing pensions. The
Sun commends the organization in
warmest terms, but does not state
the kind Of veterans so the reader
is LETT in doubt as to whether the
organization is composed Of Canada
veterans, Sons Of Liberty veterans,
Confederate veterans, Union veter-
ans, or Wall street veterans. 1t
can hardly be Union veterans, since
they are beneiciaries of our pension
laws. 1t can hardly be the Sons of
Liberty veterans, for they most
all died of shame. 1t cannot be the
Confederate veterans, for it is right
under the nose of the president,
who, being elected upon Union
soldier pension platform, is bound,
if necessary, to suppress any Con-
federate brigadier demonstrations,
even though he have to call out the
land and naval forces. 1t follows,
then, that the organization is entire
ly composed Of Wall street veter-
ans, especially since the president
and cabinet officers, congressman
and Washington society are known
to be friendly to the battlescarred
heroes (?) of Wall street.
Wall street heroes (?), in their
devotion to the principles of Wall
street, have no counterpart in the
worlds history. They are tireless,
and almost sleepless, in their efforts
to advance their favorite principles.
While the mon of the Uunion and
Confederate armies, engaged in the
common and vulgar pursuit of
marching, starving and fighting,
the Wall street veteran sold and
bought stocks, gambled in securi-
ties and farm products, cornered
gold and sold it to the government
at an immense premium, bought
congressman, and by flank move
ment captured the national debt,
and brigand like, placed an immense
ransom thereon. Of course the Wall
street veteran is opposed to pensions.
Pension money is paid direct to the
pensioner, and is thereby violation
of the Wall street constitution.
The Wall street veterans would /
have no objection to pensions if the
pension money paid them an inter
est of, say "a per cent. 1t may be
safely assumed that this new organ
ization has enlisted for the war. 1t
is like the grave; it will never be
satisfied. 1t draws from all classes,
and the Union pensioner will not be
an exception. Let the Union veter-
an pay the Wall street veteran in
terest on his pension money, and all
will be well.

An Attempt to Change the .LIne AZ
Western States.
Ohio Wants Part Of indiana; Indiana,
Part Of illinois,
Because Post Traders once BTIbed
a Surveying Party.

NEW YORK, November 6.-An Indlanapo-
lis special to the Tribune says: The Indi-
ana and Ohio boundary line question Is as
sumlng startling aspects. The survey which
Is now being made under the direction OF
the national government will probably es-
tablish the fact that the true line as declared
when Ohio was organized into a state begins
twelve miles west OF the present boundary
line at the north, and runs directly south to
the present line between Ohio and Indiana,
thus making strip 200 miles long and Of an
average width Of six miles, to which the
State OF Ohio lays claim. The strip de-
scribed includes the cities Of Fort Wayne,
Richmond and Union City. and population
of about 100000.
State Senator Shoekney Of Union City, no
has access to some trustworthy sources OF
Information, Is authority for this assertion
regarding the discoveries OF the surveyors.
Their report, be says. will be ready for SUBJ
mission to the government In about three
weeks.
An inquiry into the causes that led to the
juggling OF these boundary lines dlscl0ses
the fact that at the time Ohio was made
state there were post traders located at Rich
mond and Fort Wayne, whose traie with
the Indians was profitable. liz the line had
been run correctly these posts would have
been taken into the new State Of Ohio, and
the occupation Of these traders would have
gone. The post-traders bribed the survey
party which located the line, and Richmond
and Fort Wayne were left on the Indiana
side.
The question Is an important and compll-
Gated one, for should Ohlo's claim on Indi-
ana be enforced, Indiana, on the same ground
would nave cause OF action against Illinois.
III Indiana loses on the east, 1t would by the
same ruling be entitled to slice OF Illinois,
and this would give the HoOsiers Chicago

NOT AL FOR CLEVELAND.
A New Hampshire Democrat who
Can see Rainbows In Ohio.

WASHINGTON. November 6-DespIte the
comparatiyely new names which the cleo
tions have brought into the field, 1t is be-
lieyed in this section Of the country that the
weather yane of prophecy points with notice
able constancy toward Mr.. Cleveland as the
Democratic nominee. There are, however.
some discordant notes In the general eulogy
of CLEVELAND. Senator Pugh, for instance
referred To the impossibility of nominating
Mr., Cleveland In view OF the breach be-
tween certain wings of the Democracy In
New York state, and especially on account
of Cleveland's position on the silver Ques
tion' Senator Pugh believes that Senator
Gorman is the most available man, and he
saws the Democrats of the country would be
proud to , rk together under his leader
ship. Thera is also rear expressed by
some Democrats in Nortn ana South Caro-
lima that Cleveland will lose the electoral
votes of those states IL he should be nomin-
ated This fear has its origin in the fact
that the large Alliance following In the
Democratic ranks In those states Is not
friendly TO Mr.. Cleveland.
Representative Mckinney of New Hamp-
shire says that McKinley's narrow margin
in Ohio is no better than defeat when it Is
remembered that 1t took the whole Repub-
Titan party, including Secretary Foster and
ex-Speaker Reed, to accomplish the result.
The resultin MASSACHUSETTS Is to him mat
ter for great Joy. He predicts glorious things
for the Democrats IN New England In the
future. He says that Cleveland will without
doubt be the nominee, and he goes further
even than this. for he says that Cleveland
will have the four electoral votes of New
Hampshire, 10 from Massach sets, four
from Rhode Island and six from onnecticut,

Angry Chilians We're Making Threats

Psraellites apparently Worsted in the
Cork Elections.

SANTIAGO. Chill. November 6-The news
papers here for several days have been pub
fishing wild stories about conspiracy form
ed among the refugees at the American lega-
tlon to kill General Canto. Notice was cir
culated today calling for meeting Of the
people to denounce the conspiracy. Mr..
Egan informed the Junta that threats had
been made to attack the United States lega
tion and capture the refugees. He warned
the Junta that it would be held responsible
for such action. Later in the day, several
thousand men assembled In the Plaza aud
applauded severed incendiary speeches In
which the supposed conspiracy and the
United States legation we're denounced. The
Juuta, upon receiving Mr.. Egan's letter. sent
troop of cavalry to guard the United States
legation, as the meeting in the plaza closed.
The Intendente has published letter saying
the stories of conspiracy are devoid of
foundation. Serious trouble was doubtless
averted by this notice, although the govern
ment did nothing to prevent trouble until 1t
received Mr.. Egan's protest.

SHIPS CHARTERED

The Regular Packets Can't Make

One Result Of the New Policy Of
Reciprocity.

WASHINGTON. November 6.-The State
Department has received statement show
ing the benefits already realized from the
operations Of the Spanish reciprocity treaty
which went into effect two months ago. 1t
shows an increase Of the shipments made
by the line Of steamers from New York to
Havana during September and October last.
when compared with those made during the
corresponding months of 1890. The steam
ship company reports that since the treaty
went into effect, it has had to charter three
extra steamers besides the regular sailings
aud every ship has gone out full. The ship
ments of machinery for the manufacture of
sugar have been greater than ever known
before. A leading provision merchant of
Havana estimates that when the treaty pro-
vision as to the reduction OF the duty on
-four takes place January next, the imports
from the United States to Cuba will reach
million barrels per annum, or more than
double the present total consumption. The
company anticipates that when the treaty is
fully In force, it will have to increase the
number Of It's sailings or largely increase the
capacity OF Its ships.
