AMERICANS ARE SLAVES.
Max O'ReH Says We Are tho Slaves o.
Our Omcials and Servants

Max O'ReH Says We Are tho Slaves OF
Our Officials and Servants.
IA Frenchman in America"
The Americans are the most docile people
in the world. They are the slaves OF their
servants, whether they are high officials or the
.treduced duchesses' of domestic service
They are 80 submitted to their lot that they
seem to find It quite natural.
The Americans are lions governed by bull
dogs and asses.
They have given themselves a hundred
thousand masters, these folks who laugh at
monarchies, for example, and seorn the rule
OF king, as IL 1t were better to be bullisd
by crowd than by an individual.
In America, the man who pays does not
command the paid. l have already said 1t;
will maintain the.truth of the statement that,
In America, the paid servant rules. Tyranny
from above is bad; tyranny from below Is
worse.
OF my many first impressions that have
deepened into convictions this is one OF the
frmest.

The Industrial Banking and InvestmeH,
Association

The Industrial Banking and Investment
Association
The above organization, which has its Wash
ington City Office at 1417 G street northwest,
is one that in all It's ramiications, extends to
the laboring classes an opportunity for profit
able Investments.
For the purpose of carrying out this object
1t does general business upon the principles
whereby the investors obtain fixed interest
upon their investments in the Company, and
In addition further interest, varying with
the profits made by general business being
carried on as an Industrial Association. Loans
are made to investors on the security of
their certificates. The Company also receives
money on time deposit, or at call; negotiates
mortgages, forms and operates public COM
panies, issues public and other loans, pur-
chases and sells stocks, bonds, or other
securities and properties on commission, and
generally transacts all business OF a financial
and industrial character. 1t is not Building
Association, but II does offer to persons OF
small means unequaled facilities for changing
their earnings into home.
But there 10 another point that investors
would do well to notice. The Security is
perfect, Tor the reason that In addition to the
$2O0OOO paid up In Capital of the Company,
no Certified Checks can be obtained from the
Association without the full amount in cash
being deposited With the Association to meet
1t. And these checks are available for all
possible domestic and foreign payments

and are to be obtained at all hours, week days
or Sundays, when banks are closed.
They are better than gold bocause-the

protected by copyright, are a protection To
their customers against limitations And,
finally, In sending remittances by Mail or
Telegraph, without loss of time and ex-
gense In obtaining Postofice Orders, Cable

Hiding the Gold In India.

A considerable part of all the gold that
goes to India never returns. Having been
obtained in the West by the sale of ex-
ported productions it is retained in the
East as realized profits, wealth. stored up,
and to moderate extent, for use in the
arts; for the rest, as q representative of
value on the credit of which traders buy
and sell with the bills of exchange they
issue and the book credits they open, aud
settle up the differences with the silver
money OF the country.
But the vast stock of gold accumulated
there undergoes no diminution; there is
no ebb and flow under the reciprocal
action which commercs enforces in the
case of countries trading together on
common metallic basis The three
millions sterling or Whereabouts of gold
bullion which India annually adds to her
store are, under the monetary law of that
country, just as much lost TO the nations
OF the West, by being withdrawn from
the general commerce of the world. as If
the money had been lent to South
American Republic.
Between the years 1885 and 1889 (ApriD

THE FRENCH MADAME DEAD.

Her Ill Gotten Gains Swept Away By
Litigation and Adversity.
Eliza Porret for long time known
as s'The French Madame" died yesterday
on her farm at Pennington, Hunterdo n
county. This notorious woman was born
in Belgium, and was educated in con-
vent. where she distinguished herself for
application to music and her exemplary
pfety. When sixteen years old she mar
ried a friend of her parents who was very
wealthy, and few months after her mar
riage she eloped to this country with a
young man named Frederick Carvard.
She opened resort on West Thirty
first street, near Broadway, aud later the
"Bijou Cafe on West Twenty-ninth
street. Her iucome from the latter place
is said to have been $780, 900 a year. Of
late she has lost most of her wealth. She
accused julius Weidner, a New stree
curb stone broker OF stealing 500, 900
from her. and she sued ex-President Niles
OF the Tradesmen's National Bank.
Her last litigation was with William
Fl. Munday, a lawyer whom she accused
of prosecuting her for niue years, aud
said that he had threatened to continue
his persecution unless she allowed him

ENGLISH PEERS.
The Foreign Titles They Hold and this
Differences In Them

The Foreign Titles They Hold and the
Differences in Them.
Even in England it is not general ly
known nor thorou ghly understood that
English subjects have no right to use
foreign titles In that kingdom unless they
have received especial royal permission
to do SO. and this is granted in very few
cases, usually when the title is conferred
upon successful English general by q
foreign power. For example, the Duke
dom of Victoria, which belongs to the
Duke OF Wellington, the principality OF
Mtndelheim, which belongs to the Duke
OF Marlborough, aud the Barouy of Hal
kett. which was conferred by Catherine
the Second on an English physician, who
was a great fayorite OF hers, and who did
good service to his country by acting as
an unofficial agent OF the English Gov
ment at ST. Petersburg
The innumerable barons who now stud
English society are of the unrecognized
type They have acquired their titles. as
a rule. by purchase from foreign powers;
In some cases they have earned them by
purely commercial or financial services.
In no case are they recognized or received
at the embassy or legation OF the country
from which they hold their titles, and In
most cases they are English subjects OF
Semitic origin
Lord Rothschild stands on different
footing. He is an English peer, and his
foreign barony is quite subsidiary. Many
Others, like Baron de Hersch, de Norms S.
de Reuter-, and many more English sub
jects whose titles are foreign, and who
are legally in England only entitled tc
the plain mister,w would have to drop then
titles ia the event OF their being brought
into the presence of the Queen, who dc.
clines absolutely to recognize any titles
given to her subjects unless these honors
are authorized by royal license.

Harper,s aIagazlne Tor June.

An important issue in British poll
tics has grown out of the recent pre-
sentation in Parliament of bill for
local Government reform, providing
for virtual revival of the old Town
Meeting, which still works so
efficiently in New England. The
Liberal party has officially declared
itself in favor of village PArliaments
on democratic basis, and the ques-
ton will doubtless play an important
part in the coming elections in Great
Britain. Nor is the subject without
great, and we might say increasing,
Importance in our country. The
Town Meeting-the most democratic
institution OF our race-exists in its
primitive. untrammeIled condition
only in New England. 1t is found, in
modified form, in the Middle and
Western States; but nowhere else do
the people absolutely enact the by
laws of the town without the interpos-
ition of representatives A timely
and important article ON this subject.
which Henry Loomis Nelson has
written for the June number of Hay-
pe7's MagGziqse presents some facts
and figures with reference to the prac-
teal working of the system which
will doubtless awaken no little dis
cussion among students of Lolitical
economy and thoughtful citizens
everywhere.
