bills OF all kinds, in order to prove to
his constituents that he is not fritter-
ing away his time in flirting with the

gan of Mr.. Speaker every time, and
when he catches it he hangs on to it un-
til the COWS come home. For he
knows a good thing when he sees it,
and is therefore, like the rest OF his
fellow citizens, partial to The Saint
Paul & Duluth Railroad, better known
as The Duluth Short Line, because he
knows, as they know, that it is pre-
eminently the best line to take when
going between those double twin
cities, St. Paul and minneapolis,
Duluth and West Superior, as it offers
the finest service and makes close con-
nections for all points beyond. Al
ways take The Duluth Short Line.

Play Discreetly, Gentlemen.

Self interest, as understood, is apt to
control mems political convictions and
give partisan bias. The initial lesson as
learned through the lodge and recited
on the first Tuesday of last November
emboldens the peoples party to demand
moro light. The schoolmaster is abroad,
the school house is at the cross roads or
in the forest depths, and the teaching
inculcated, if not on the university, is
on the common sense plane. Hence I
repeat the Alliance is destined to WELD
a very potential influence in next years
quadrennial fight, and, unless all the
signs and portents of the times go for
naught, it will be for good. Composed
as it is of the most conservative element
in the body polite, and actuated by the
laudable impulse of equity and fair play,
it is not likely to go far wrong or get
much off the track.
The party of low taxes, when known,
is the one it will espouse if human nat
ure is human nature. The one of pre-
rogative and monopolistic claim is the
one it will spurn when the issue is I'M
derstood, as is fast being done. The
croupier at the green cloth of fate drawls
out this monotonous requiem: '"The red
loses, the black wins. Make your play,
gentlemen The presidency, popular
rights and personal liberty are the high
stakes. Play discreetly, messieurs, for
there's an arbiter about. Wharton J.
Green in New York Times.

Il dispatch from Lansing. Mich, says:
I. G. Sherwood, state commissioner
of banking, has prepared report for the
senate i'll response to a resolution asking
what amount Of farm mortgages are
held by the banks of the state, and the
rate of interest thereon, and what
amount of mortgages on business prop
erty is held by these banks, and the rate
of interest thereon, and seeking the adj
vice OF the commissioner relative to such
changes in the banking law of Michigan
as may be perfectly safe to the investor
and afford relief to the farmers.
The commissioner states that there
are 100 state banks and two trust COM
panies in Michigan. Of the banks sixty
seven are savings banks, or banks with
savings departments. These concerns
reported last December as follows: Com
mercial loans, $27, 62S, 49, IS; stocks,
bonds and mortgages, $18, SAC, $751; S. Of
the latter s., 1853, 752.S SO were stocks and
bonds and $13 ,492, 1884. 25 were mortgages.
The commissioner says he is unable to
give separately the amount loaned on
farm and business property, the two be-
ing combined in the reports.
Judging from examinations made the
past year he thinks that large proper
ton OF money loaned by state banks on
mortgage security is loaned on farms and
on the homes of laboring men, and that
avery small proportion is loaned on bust
ness property, as these loans are general
ly taken by insurance companies or east
ern capitalists at a lower rate of interest
than western banks charge, viz, g. per
cent, which is the average rate charged
by Michigan banks. The commercial
loans are not all made to business men,
banks here loaning more readily to farm
ers with mortgage security.
Michigan private banks not being I'M
der state supervision, the commissioner
cannot give any official information
about them.

A Politicians Opinion.

The Hon. George N. circuit, one of the
most careful political observers in this
part Of the state, whose friends are al
ready canvassing his strength prelimi-
nary to seeking f: him the seco11a place
Oh the Democratic ticket, said this to-
day of the Alliance movement: cit Pc
culiarly resembles the abolition move
ment in political strength and personnel.
In this vicinity it has secured the sup
port Of the most conservative element of
the population, and it is developing re-
markable power. The farmers who are
joining it are not those who were car
ried away by greenbackism and other
political crazes of the last fifteen or
twenty years.
"They are the stanch, thick and thin
Republicans, who have never weakened
their allegiance to that party until now
that they have grievance, and the ALI
ance will maintain itself and grow as
long as the present situation continues.
Farming hereabouts no longer pays, and
farms have deprecated so per cent in
value within a few years. don't know
how this is to be remedied by legislation,
but until there is a change the Alliance
will maintain it's strength. Its members
are the most intelligent and conservative
farmers we have, and they are terribly
in earnest. "-Hornellsville On. W Dis

And the Commissions Say Goes.

The interstate commerce commission,
after world of vexatious delay, has at
length decided that the truck farmers of
Delaware cannot justly be compelled to
pay all the profits of their business over
to the Pennsylvania Railroad company
for carrying service, merely because the
company wants to drive them out of the
business to build up more distant
farming section in order to secure a
longer haul. The railroad magnates call
the policy practical railroading; the
farmers call it barefaced extortion and
robbery. The commission has Endorsed
the latter by cutting down the charges

Government Railroads.

The old politician thinks that he has
settled the question Of government own
ership of the railroads when he says
they would cost $4,000, 900, 900, or at the
rate of $4,000 per mile. Why, he says,
the government could never assume such
a vast amount of debt as that. Well,
what is the matter with the government
taking them at their assessed valuation
for taxable purposes, say about $4,000
per mile?-Kansas Commoner.
