THE SHORT TERM ORDER.

Those who have lost their money in
the Fraternity of Financial Co-opera-
ton, or the short term order, doing
business in other States from this city
being too shrewd to lay themselves
liable to prosecution by doing it here
deserve little sympathy. They went
into it to get something for moth
ing, just as they might play the ''shell
game" And they had as much chance
of getting 500 for S57 as they would
have of winning SO for SIS by picking
out the shell the ball was under.
In the first place, it is inconceivable
how people, with any sense at all, could
expect that the men running this concern
would make them present OF S43 for
the loan of S57 for say six months.
Where was the money to come from?
It certainly could not be invested in that
time and doubled.
Those who stuck to the scheme, how
ever, were fully enlightened. They
found supplementary assessments pour
ing in upon them at an alarming rate,
and when the policies had expired their
eyes were opened to the fact that they
had paid considerable more than 500
for the 500 they drew. In most cases
they would not even get the 500, but
would have to surrender slice OF il for
the reserve fund"
If their eyes were opened to the ma
ture of the scheme before they had all
paid ND and they refused to be milked
further, then they forfeited all the
money they had put in. They were
caught either way. Thus the officers Of
these concerns make nice fat, easy
living off their dupes. There is no
limit to the assessments they can levy.
That is entirely within their own option,
and is all done within the letter OF the
law.
These concerns have been exposed
and driven out of the eastern cities and
are seeking fresh fields in the west.
The concern that has been doing bust
ness in this city came from Phiiadel-
phia. 1t is safe to say it will do no
more business here.

The point is that the British manufact-

The Democratic skies are very bright
this summer, and the indications for IA
vorable political weather for the fall are
very encouraging. In the three prin-
clpal States which hold important cleo
tions this year, aud where 4 victory will
be regarded as having considerable
weight in the greater national contest
of next year the Democratic party occu-
pies very strong position. The Ohio
election will be the most interesting OF
All the fall contests. The fate of the
Republican party depends upon the
issue. Failure there this fall would be
fatal to the party's chances in the Presi-
dentIal struggle. The defeat OF Nc
kinney in his own State, which has
been ordinarily Republican in ma
tlopal contests for many years, would
indicate that Ohio will be very doubt
ful State next year, and would prove a
Aerrible element OF decentralization to the
