What will Delaware do with the
$4,000 that this State is to get through
the Direct Tax rounding acty The tax
was paid quarter Of a century ago,
not by the state, but by individuals.
Many Of these taxpayers are dead; per-
haps not one Of the survivors or their
heirs could at this late day produce a
voucher in suhstantiation of his claim
for a share Of The refund. Even, as a
contemporary suggests, if the money
could be returned 70 those who paid it,
or to their heirs, its repayment would be
vicious precedent. The money was
contributed for the preservation Of the
government, and the contributors shared
the benefit; received their quid pro quo
And the extravaganza Of this Fifty-tirst
Congress has not left a pethoric treasury
requiring this financial phlehotomy.

This is how it came about:
We got control Of enough

We bought a large lot of

cheaper in duller time and we
are willing to work for next to

Putting all these together
we can beat the present and

make to order to fit any bed
stead, a 4o-pound Mattress

The Philadelphia Ledger says Of the
short term wildcat investment organi-
cations which the "bond investment"
bill introduced by Representative
Ridgely is leyeled at; eff the legisla-
tive committee investigating mutual
benefit societies organized on con-
iidence basis should do nothing more,
it may expose the real obligations Of the
members and make men wary about
entering them. The projectors are
always sure that 'lapses, involving for
FIXTURES Of moneys paid and therefore
losses to some members, will enable
them to pay Off other members at the
big rates Of profits that have been prom
ised. Pressed to disclose what they
would do if there should be no such
lapses, they explain that the members
would be obliged to pay more assess
mcnts. That would promote lapses,
and they would be able to approximate
towards q performance Of their in
geniously worded promises. 1t is well
for investors 70 know exactly how this
form Of thimbia rigging Is done; then, ii
they choose to gamble THAT way, in the
absence Of laws prohibiting or regu-
lating the business, they can do So with
their eyes open.

In explanation of the State Senate's
action last week, in laying on the table
motions to reconsider in two or three
divorce cases, The GAZETTE would
say for the benefit of some inquiring
readers that this is the parliamentary
method Of killing measure beyond pos
sibility of resurrection. In legislative
bodies generally Il measure that has been
indefinitely postponed merely can be
reconsidered and brought up again
within limited time. This very thing
was done in the State Senate yesterday.
The first bill to lay out public road
sent over from the House, was at once
pounced upon and indefinitely post
poned on its first reading in the Senate,
on Wednesday, This was because some
Of the members hold that all such
applications should go to the
levy courts, or in this county to the road
commissioners, and that the Legislature
should not be bothered with them. For
this reason the Senate refused to appoint
standing committee on roads. This
was Speaker Sirman's own bill however,
for new road to his own farm, and
when he learned of its indefinite post
ponement, he went to work and induced
the Senate to call it up again. But had
that indefinite postponcment been fol-
lowed by motion to reconsider and
that motion to reconsider been laid on
the table, every vestige of life would
have been completely knocked out So
that when Mr.. Pilling goes through
this formula on divorce bill, and has
it indefinitely postponed and the motion
to reconsider laid on the table, every
one interested will know that that di-
vorce bill is dead, buried and an i'm
movable grave-stone placed over the re-
mains

A WALL STREET SENSATION
deacon" White Tries to Corner the
Corn Crop and Becomes Bankrupt.

Deacon White Tries to Corner the
Corn Crop and Becomes Bankrupt.
S. V. White & Co., regarded as one of the
strongest firms on the New York Stock Ex-
change, made an assignment to Charles W
Gould, of No. 2 Wall street. Mr.. White has
been recognized as a power IN the financial
world for the past twenty years, and his as
signment created genuine sensation on the
street.
The cause of the firms embarrassment
was a gigantic speculation in corn engi-
neered by the head of the house. He tried
to corner the country's supply of the grain
failed.
The enormous crop interfered. His liza
bilities are estimated at from a million and
a half to two millions.
He began his purchases when the price of
September corn was fifty cents. He con-
tinued buying until he owned 10000, 600
bushels. The average price paid for the
corn was sixty cents. and at one time Mr..
White had paper profit CT 81, OOO.OOO on
his deal. Two weeks before he failed the
price for September was seventy cents. But
it was a great load to carry, especially as
there were indications that the Chicago
gamblers would break their necks or prevent
Mr.. White from unloading. A clique met
daily in Chicago at the Calumet Club to de-
wise means of downing Mr.. White.
The continued heavy receipts of corn at
Chicago from all centres materially assisted
them. Even the most secret steps on his
part toward unloading some of his
corn were detected and the clique,
aided by the big receipts, smashed
down the market. The receipts continued,
and the attitude of the Chicago clique be-
came Sd pronounced that it was apparent
that Mr.. White could not withstand the
forces against him. The September option
had declined to 52L. OF the 10, 600, 900
bushels he still held s, 900, 600 bushels and on
most of this heavy advances had been made
by the New York banks. With the declin-
ing market the banks refused further loans,
and there was nothing to do but for Mr..
White to make an assignment. He tersely
put the situation thus:
II have been largely long of corn, and in
closing it out the depreciation, with the
calls for margins, which were unusually
heavy, exhausted my resources and
there was nothing left but to stop and as
sign"
Mr.. Whites chief trouble seemed to be
that he based his operations on tae visible
supply and did not sufficiently regard
the supplies that were kept back by the
farmers.
