RAILROADS IN POLITICS.

From The Fair Play.
THE talk over the plan of Senator
Palmer, of Illinois, and others to have
United States senators elected by
direct vote of the people, is bringing
out some peculiar things in past sena-
tOrial elections. Representative john
son, of North Dakota, explained to-day
to the House committee having ehe sub
ject in Charge why he was in favor of
new pan. He said that when the
republicans had control of the Esrth
Dakota legislature caucus was held
at which he received A out of 80 votes.
After getting the caucus nomination
ne retired to his hole, feeling sure of
his election on the following day.
''In the mean time, however, he was
waited upon by an at 5orney for one of
the railroads of that section, which
yields II strong influence in legislative
and judicial affairs. The railroad
attorney asked a pledge Of Johnson
that if he we're elected United States
senator lie would exert lis influence
in securing the appointment of GER
| tain judge to the state circuit court,
favorable to railroads. He was viii
ling to indOrse the Judge, but was not
willing to give the railroad pledge in
black and white. Thereupon they
parted, and the railroad influence was
! turned against him. The next day he
was defeated by a candidate who had
received only seven votes in the
caucus.
''This is Representative johnson s
experience as he himself related it to
the committee, and. if need be, he is
ready to give tie name of the attorney
who proposed the bargain over the
/ senatorship, and the judge who was to
profit by it. AS it is, Mr.. Johnsou's
story appears to throw shadow upon
the methods which brought about the
selection OF one of the North Dakots,
/ senators now serving in congress.

TIE nCAPLTAL, KIcKs. Isl

TIE "CAPITAL'' KICKS, ALSO.
Some money Ioaners in Kansas are,
in anticipation of a demand soon for
farm lands aud other property, fore
closing, bidding the property IN at a
nominal price and holding the balance
of the loan as a judgment against the
party. For instance, a man has Dor
rOWed 5000 on q farm SAID to have
been worth at the time OF the loan
according to the loan ompany's
appraisers. 5000 or $1,000. The com
pany fOreclOses and bids the farm in
for $500, taking a Judgment of s., 500 OF
the original loan. Thus the party who
has borrowed the money loses his
land and finds back interest, costs OF
foreclosure, etc, to exceed the amount
the loan company has paid fog his farm
In other words tile costs, etc, added to
the $4,000, makes q Judgment larger
than the original loan.
Now the fact and the common jus
tlce Of the case is that when a loan
company risks 5000 on its own judg-
ment on a farm or any other kidd Of
property it is nothing more or less than
robbery to take the property leaving
the debt unsatisG fed IL do MT matter.
