THE Obligation FIR OMSTAY
ERVlITiE

Democrats are scarce in Kansas. but
as many DIS they are, they beat the West
on quality. There are only five of them
in the legislature, yet those five propose
to elect Democrat to represent Kansas
i'll the United States senate. AS Repre-
sentative-elect RoSENTHAI. puts it:
"The situation in our legislature is de-
Veloplng Itself so that five Democrats in
the house and senate will have control
ON joint ballot, and,as every one of us is
slayer from Stayervllle in Slayer
county,we are reasonably sure to elect a
Democrat to the senate -
OCCASIONALLY sure' admits Of MANY
mental reservations in politics, and par
ticularly in politics of the cratic Kan
sas stripe. In this case, however, the
auguries unquestionabIy portend victory
for the five ''Stayers from Stayerville,
in Slayer county," The Republicans in
the Kansas legislature will emphaticalIy
prefer to join with the five Dem
ocratS IN sending straight-out
Democrat to the senate. rather
than permit another hated Populist,
whether in whiskers or in petticoats. to
go there. PETER was bitter pill for
the Kansas g. o. p. to swallow, and to
crowd it down with Mrs. LEAsE-never {!
Sooner Democratic emetic than that |!
Sooner Southern brigadier and niger

Sas Republicans feel about it. and there

POWERS ON M ORTGAGES
The State Commissioner of Labor
Makes Public His Official
Findings.
Number of Foreclosures, Amount,
Kind of Property and
General Analysis.

Labor Commissioner Powers has com
pleted his table of mortgage foreclosures
on lands in the state outside of town
lots during the years 1881 and 1891, with
the following comparison:
The number of mortgages foreclOsed on
such property in 1881 was l. 100 for the whole
state The amount of Indebtedness for which
these mortgages were given as security was
$l1 0;}0 9l5 81. The number of acres fore
closed was 3,522, 81. The amount for which
the land was sold under foreclosure was
ST.. 232, $500 The average price per acre was
1923 For 1891 the number OF foreclosures
was 1,49?. The original amount of the mort
cages was ST., rs. T53.45. The number of acres
sold was 1917, y23.07. The amount received for
the lands at the foreclosure sales was Sl007.s
800 IS, an average of $500 per acre II
Of the foregoing mortgage foreclosures
seventy-tive were located i'll cities The
amount of the mortgages was S6i5.055.52: I'M;
yolving 3.63l.43 acres which were sold tor
S63S, $40 90. There were also included in the
total for the whole state the lands found lit
counties largely devoted tortimber and min
eral resources The amount of mortgages
on the latter class of propertv i'll 1851 was
S6.347 involving 456.49 acres, and were sold
for S5.G45Sp. In 1891 III these counties the
mortgage foreclosures involved original
mortgages for SOL, 6SD.i4 The number OF
acres was L, 663 A. The amo unit received Oh
the foreclosure Si17i635.
Deducting these two classes OF land. cities
and mineral land, from the total, we have for
the foreclosures in agricultural counties the
following exhibit: In 1881 the amount of
mortgages was S1,024 SITS So. The amount of
land involved was 133, 066.C5 acres. The
amount for which the land was sold on fore
closure was 81, 227, 81 20 In 1891 the amount
of debt for which the mortgages were given
was ST. los, 147.79. The number of acres sold
was 1Sl.62S.22 The amount for which the
land sold was St,3ll, 104cS.
The Increase III the amount of foreclosure
sales during the ten years was aboutS per
cent on the agricultural lands, while the in
crease in the acreage assessed i'll the same
class increased about 70 per cent. Relatively
for the whole state the mortgage foreclosures

this modest way. If it were to jump at
once into lengthy dissertation on the
futility of any tariff to raise the wages
of workIngmen or women, it would be
too painfully near those other articles

charitableness of the reading public

better to wait until what was said es-

cries of newspaper readers. just as,
when the old earth begins to recover
from that departure of its pole from the
path of uprightneSs. the days begin to
lengthen, so, the campaign being over,
these sensible free trade editorials will
again begin to appear, gradually in

POOR FINANCIERING.
Placing the Water Certificates to
Increase the Tax
Levy.
A System Of Changing From
One City to the
Other.

submitting his estimateupon which
the tax list is based, Comptroller Me-
Cardy includes under the head of certi-
ficates of Indebtedness, an item of S121,-
653. 10 for city water furnished for fire
protection, due June 1, 1893. In order.
to meet this item. tax of one mill,
must be laid, and it is just possible that's
in the stringency Of the present time,
the levy should be made as low as pos
Sible. There is no necessity to meet
this item in the next years revenue, coll
lections, and it would be nothing short
of piece of foolishness to include it in
the estimates. If it should be
included and the amount raised
by taxation, it would be simply
taxing the people for the purpose of
taking it out of one pocket of the city
and putting it in another. The Bell
charter provision covering the matter of
certificates of indebtedness for water
for fire purposes (section 10, page 53)
demands that these certific ates shall be
non negotiable, and cannot ibe sold. and,
when redeemed. the money shall be
made part of the sinking fund OF the
water board. There are no water bonds
to mature before the year 1911 OH which
to apply this money, and if it should be
now raised by taxation, it would be only
handed over to the treasurer and be de-
posted by him until available to pay
bonds-or simply taken out of one city
pocket and put in another.
The provision in the Bell charter was
the result of Just such situation. Some
of these certificates were due two years
ago and were by this provision extended.
The proper course now would be to
omit the item from the estimate and
ask the legislature to again extend the
time either indefinitely or until the city
could take them up with bond issue
and place the bonds in the proper sink
ing fund. This same question vas thor
oughy discussed two years 40. and,
under the direction OF Ansel Open
helm, of the councils finance commit
tee, the course was taken which could
now with profit be repeated.

NOT "A FINANCIAL STROKE.

Additional laurels were not twined
about the brow of Comptroller Nc
CARDY as brilliant financier as the
result of mis- presentation Of estimates
for the tax levy for next year, made to
the conference committee Monday
night. One would certainly have imag-
ined that the first thought of the reform
administration would have been to have
so scaled and adjusted the current eX-
penSeS as to have secured the very low
est tax levy possible, and thus have
earned the enthusiastic plauditS OF an
admiring constituency. But in almost
the very first item submitted by him
the comptroller proves that he is not
the Napoleon of finance that he was
once paraded by his newspaper friends.
He asks that provision be made for the
payment of certificates of indebtedness
for water used for fire protection, amount
ing to 1921, 653. 10. To cancel these certifi-
Gates would be to load the taxpayers of
ST. Paul with an additional mill in the
levy, and such load would be mex
cusable in these comparatively hard
times in the real estate market. 1t is
arrant nonsense to think of paying
these per cent certificates now, when
the funds must 90 into the sinking fund
and lie there until the next water bonds
mature. which will not be for eighteen
years. The legislature at the forthcom-
ing session may extend the time, as it
did before, and the certificates can be
taken up by an issue of city bonds for
the purpose. Such course will reduce
the taxation at a time when reduction
is most desirable. Such a financial
genius as Comptroller MCCARDY should
have thought of this in the beginning,
if he would retain and deserve the
watchdog character for which he is SO

CRIMINAL COURTS.
Rossbach Goes Free-Petty Rob-
bers on Trial.

John P Rossbach, the man who killed
Patrick Gibbons with an axe, is at last free
man. Rossbach was twice tried and the jury
disagreed. The county attorney entered q
nolle prosequ yesterday. 1t will be remem-
bered that the two men lived in the same
house on Dayton's bluff and an alteration
occurred one evening, which grew out of the
use of rain barrel. Gibbon went about for
some time after he was struck and died from
the effects of the rupture of blood vessel in
the head, causing the blood to become
clotted on the brain.
Robert jackson, a very dark negro. was
yesterday found guilty of robbery and SEN
fenced by Judge Brill to the DeEltentiary at
saltwater for seven years. Jackson pawned
his coat to get revolver and then went to
the store of John DAM on Robert street and
compelled the clerk in charge to hand over
the cash on hand amounting to S25. After
that the robber went to dance, and the next
day he redeemed his coat and bought meal
ticket. He had been without anything to eat
for whole day before going to the dance.
The case of Patrick Hill was called in the
criminal court yesterday and his trial will go
on today. Hei is charged wit b holding up

and securing 81 cents. 1t is not long since
he was accused of stealing from the house of
Arnold Kalman that gentleman pantaloons.
Thomas Hick withdrew mis- plea OF not
guilty Yesterday and pleaded guilty of grand
larceny in the second degree. He was SEN
fenced to the reformatory by Judge Brill. A
second indictment against him was noll led.
He was indicted under the name Of Dave
Brown for burglariZing the store of Henry
Weber Thanksgiving eve.
The evidence was concluded yesterday
afternoon in the case of Catherine Stoehr
against the city of st. Paul, and the jury sent
over to the West side to inspect the scene of
the flood of last August, consequent on the
bursting of Page street. The argument
to the jury and the charge of the court will
be concluded today, and the long drawn out
trial will end when the jury finds verdict.
In the case of Adam Decker, as executor OF
the estate of Theobald Motz, against John M.
Erchinger and John Kochendorfer the jury
found a verdict of S5457.S7 against Kochen-
dorfer and found that Erchinger is not liable
for any part of the debt.
