Herbert Investigation.
The Herbert Investigating Committee
meeting in thu office OF the state treas
urer to-day did not divulge anything
startling. The most important feature
was that State Treasurer Herbert did not
settle. Frank Herbert and Mr.
Burnite have gone over the books
and discovered errors amounting
to nearly $4,000, but the errors were
satisfactorily explained, and both Mr.
Bnrnite and Mr.. Herbert agree that the
balances due the state from Mr. Herbert
is $S7, 397 "a
This Mr. Herbert says he is ready to
pay as soon as his official bond is salts
fed He makes the demand that his
official bond shall be satisfied under
direction OF Willard salisbury, Jr., his
counsel, but there is no likelihood that
the official bond will be satisfied before
his check is in the hands of State Treas
urer Burnite. The committee took nc
action on this There was considerable
discussion in relation TO the s.. DOC
Sussex county bond, as to how the inter
est was to be expended, ard young Frank
Herbert gave a very clear and compre-

MORTGAGES Taxed .

The mortgage tax law which has
just gone into operation in the state
OF Michigan, provides for the tax
alton of mortgages at their face
value, no matter where they are
owned. The mortgagor is to have
his assessments reduced by the a.
mount of the mortgage. The owner OF
the property may pay the taxes on
the mortgage and the amount so
paid he may apply on the interest
due to the holder of the mortgage.
This is just to both parties, still the
money owners will seriously object,
and howl.
This law is very similar to the bill
introduced in the senate last SEES
sion by Mr.. Donnelly; which caused
such roar from the patrician mem
bers, that the bill was strangled in
its birth When the friends of the new
law in Michigan were told, in the
legislature, that such law would
"drive out capital (the same cry
went up in Minnesota they replied

Bob Ingersoll on Free Silver.

/ do ask for the reconciliation OF
silver. Silver was demonetized by
fraud. 1t was an imposition upon
every solvent man; a fraud upon
every honest debtor in the United
States. 1t assassinated labor. 1t
was done in the interest of avarice and
should be undone by honest men.
The farmers should vote only for
such men as are willing to advance
and guard the interests of labor. We
should know better than to vote for
men who deliberately put a tariff OF
three dollars thousand upon Can
adam lumber, when every farmer in
Illinois is a purchaser of lumber. We
should protect ourselves. We ought
to have intelligence enough to know
what we want and how to get it.
The real laboring men of this country
can succeed if they are united. By
laboring men do not mean only the
farmers. mean all who contribute
in some way to the general welfare.
They should forget prejudices and
party names and remember only the
best interests of the people. Let us
see if property cannot be protected
alike and taxed alike, whether owned
by individuals or corporations.
Where industry creates and Justice
protects, property dwells.-Kansas

Mondays associated press des-
patches contained the particulars Of
another national bank failure involv-
ing half a million dollars. This time
it is Texas bank. The Individual
and business deposit accounts of the
bank we're very heavy and the loss
in this particular is severely felt:
many small depositors losing the
savings OF years. The multiplicity
of failures may not presage general
financial crash, but it certainly does
verify the reiterated assertions of the
calamity hoWlers," that the curren-
cy of the country has been contract

the business Of the country and

disastrous results of such contrac-

Florida, in adopting the Ocala
platform, adds another state to the
believers in the sub-treasury plank,
which is the spinal column of the
Farmers Alliance platform. Every
alliance man, it is hoped, is in sym
pathy with the demand to have the
volume of money increased; and any
one who works against and belittles
the sub treasury plan is not laboring
in the interests of the farmer, for by
this method the agriculturist is en-
abled to secure advances on his pro.
ducts, until he thinks best to sell
them, and not be obliged, as he is in
many cases under thepresentsystem.
to put them on the market at once
because he must have money for i'm.

Europe referring to few instances.
For instance, the Polish potato crop
is estimated at 33 per cent. of an
average. This is much worse than
any estimate ever gave on it in my
articles. The potato crop of Prussia
while in number of bushels esti-
mated slightly above last year, but
a large percentage is said to be dis
eased and unfit for use in any respect.
The exact percentage OF damage by
disease, l will ascertain in a few days,
but it is very serious, and Prussia
raises seven hundred million bushels
of potatoes annually. These figures
are slightly under the average, or at
least they were under the production
of last year.
The particular losses of other
states, l will have very shortly. That
