THE Illinois conference OF the German
Lutheran synod adopted resolutions re-
Gently with reference to the compulsory
school law in that state. They announce
their intention to support that party
which promises most aid in securing the
repeal of the law. The strength of perfect
organization was never better exemplified
than by the Lutherans. There is no class
of people who meddle less in public af
fairs unless they feel their rights are
threatened and then they are implacable.
They are entirely mistaken as to the pur-
pose and effect of compulsory school laws.
But believing as they do they act with
all the force of intense conviction. When
their purpose is accomplished they re-
turn to their quiet Industrious life. The
Lutherans OF Wisconsins brought both
parties on their knees. But after secur-
ing victory they spurned the spoils and
gave no further heed to politics. They
could not secure a victory in Illinois if
the courage and determination of the op-
position was equal to their own. But it
is not and the repeal of the compulsory
chool law in Illinois may be looked for

TAKING the amount of money on de
post in the bank of L. c. Shove Banking
Co. as a basis for calculation and the
amount OF money in the hands of farmers
OF this county is really amazing. The
other two banks in this city, if the facts
could be shown as clearly as in the case
of the bank whose liabilities are now
public matter, could show large amount
OF deposits made by farmers. The Ger
man Bank and the Sheboygan Bank both
OF Sheboygan are known to hold consider
able money on deposit by farmers of this
county. The same thing is true of Theo-
dore kersten's bank in Chiffon. MANY
farmers have loaned money on mortgages
through the several agencies IN this CITY.
On the whole the amount of money loan
ed by the farmers of this county cannot
be far from one million dollars. This
sum may be said to be in advance of all
needs and Is a surplus

INSURANCE Commissioner Root Is
undergoing cruciixion for his action IN
the St. Paul Insurance Company's affair.
OF course he didn't act in the interests of
the people, but what officer would if he
had his own interests at heart? There
are two sides to this question and Mr..
Root took that which did not make an
enemy of the insurance company while
taking the other would earn no gratitude
from the people. Officers would not he
derelict did not the people encourage
them. What we want is complete subor-
dination to corporations until the people
learn to appreciate honesty in their Off

A bank in Portage known as the Ger
man Bank came near finding that there
is d great deal in a name. The bank in
st. Paul bore the same name and some
how depositors in the Portage bank be-
came possessed of the idea that it was
their bank which was in straits. Long
before the time to open there were crowds
IN front OF the bank. The cashier open
ened an hour before the regular time so
as 10 give people an opportunity to draw
their money. Unfortunately the bank
had a short time before the run began
cashed lot of checks of the Chicago,
Mil. & st. Paul. By noon over $4,000
had been paid out. The otter banks
sent assistance and so did the business
men and thus disaster was prevented.

For some reason. sufficient to satisfy
themselves no doubt, the committee hav.
ing In charge the soliciting of subscrip.
tions for the new factory did not see fit
to furnish the city papers with a copy OF
the list. The posters containing the list
were out yesterday evening. Tt ere are
four persons or firms each of which has
subscribed $780, Charles Spindler, O.
Torrison & Co., John Barnes, Schuette
Bros. Rand & Roemer have subscribed
$1,000, E. Nj. Plat $4,000, HI. c. Rijch-
ards S1,50U. Twelve ll1a 93,te5 subscribed
$1,000 each. While two have subscribed
each bonus of $1,000, Manitowoc Say
ings Bank and VIM. Rahr's Sons. Wag-
n er & Son gave bonus of $500. Father
Peil of the Catholic church subscribed
5000
The total amount subscribed IN stock
is S72,250, and in bonuses 4,765 making
a total Of S77,0l5. 1t seems some names
were omitted which were on the commit
teess lists. Whether the omissions were
accidental or the parties withdrew is not
known.
In addition to the above the Mil. l.. S,
& w. have agreed to transport all mater
ial here without charge, Truman & Coop
er have offered the use of their steam
barge to bring material here and there
are various other offers of gratuity which
will bring the amount available above
$4,000. A meeting is to be held this
evening at which it will be decided Orce
for all whether to start out with the
amount raised or drop the matter alto
gether. To adopt the latter plan is TO
abandon all hope of the future of the
city. The committees have been at work
for over two weeks and the result CT their
labors is the high water mark of effort in
this city. To hope for more and wait for
1t is to fall back into inaction. The fate
of the city hangs in the balance tonight
and the people are to decide it.
There should be no blind moves made
The new company if organized, should
be organized for business and the new
factory if built should be conducted on
business principles The time for shilly-
shallying is past and the time for deci-
slve action is at hand. A capital of $780,
900 is amply sufficient to run a large fac
tory and the people should be prompt in
moving IN that direction. 1t is just learn
ed that Plumb & Nelson are omitted in
the list. They are down for $1,000.

MANITOWOC MANIC. co.

The assignee of the Manitowoc Manu- /
featuring Co. has filed his inventory. |
The assets in round numbers foot up TO |
$4,000. This includes insurance TO |
the amount of $4,000. The liabilities |
are S245.000, which include $4,000 due |
the T. c. Sove Banking Co. This makes |
the loss on the defunct concern S52,OOo
after the fire. If the insurance is not
treated as an asset 1t correspondlngly
decrease the liabilities and the loss re
mains constant quantity. The Com
pany's books show a gross loss by the
fire OF $4,000. This added to present
assets, less the insurance which is in
cluded ID present assets, made the Go.
prior to the fire appear to be worth sos
900 with liabilities amounting to SD
600. Thus the Company was worth Sl3,-
900, on which 1t was doing business OF
A QUARTER OF MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
and absolutely holding its own, as every
one comedies that 1t was built on wind.
The interest it was compelled to pay on
its enormous debt; the high price 1t had
to pay for material because of its bad
financial standing; the large discounts
it gave on it's bills receivable because of
the doubt of It's continued solvency were
sufficient to make profits melt away like
snow in midsummer. Added 10 this, the
notorious acknowledgement to which 1t
was subjected up to- within a few months
of its destruction; the waste OF material,
the bad contracts taken, the Wild extrava-
gance of the expense account, the wlnlng
and dining to secure Chilian contracts,
which fortunately never were filled be-
cause it would have to be done so at
| loss, tho haste to accept contracts which
could not be filed n the time specified
| aud thus either having the goods re-
| iected when manufactured or accepted
with the price diminished by forfeiture
| and the wonder is that the factory lived
for year. That it could be made to pay
and pay we'll, is quite evident from the
showing it is able to make under condi-
tons which would bankrupt almost any
| institution.
There will no doubt be shrinkage in
some of the assets above given as there
always is in the accounts due defunct
concerns when an attempt is made to
enforce collections.
Should the company receive the IN
ventoried value of its assets and the total
amount OF insurance it will pay creditors
70 per cent. of their claims. Should the
insurance go to the creditors of the bank
and the inventory in other respects be
realized, creditors of the Manitowoc
Manufacturing Go. will receive 81 per
| cent. of their claims. The amount credi-
tors will receive in any event will be
much greater than was anticipated and
the assets of the bank will be consider
ably enforced by the good showing which
the Manitowoc Manufacturing Co. has
made.

THE Madison Journal seeks to make a
point against free trade by commenting
on the effort made in Manitowoc to Sc
cure the location of factories by the
means of Offering bonuses: 1t says:
What do the people OF Manltowoc
want of factory anyway? Why don't
they engage in raising turnips and onions
and let the factory business take care of
itself? Ii some one wants to start fac
tory, then well and good If they do not
it is because it would not pay, or they
can buy cheaper elsewhere, hence 1t is
better not to build it. This is the free
trade, let alone doctrine advocated by
the John Maggie brand of democrats with
reference to our national policy. Why
not apply it right at home.
The Journal is not logical in this mat
ter. The people of Manitowoc do not
off9- to make the bonus permanent by
any means, while this has become the
protectionists' idea. No one will deny
that in principle the paying of bonus is
wholly wrong. But it Is done by some
and hence must be done by ALL Facili-
ties and natural advantages count for
nothing In competition with the bonus
argument and as a result factories are
located where failure is certain unless
the bonus becomes a regular feature.
No city would knowingly give bonus
to any institution which would not
pay after being established. The bonus
is bride made necessary by competition.
If this system did not exist Manitowoc
would to-day be one of the leading manu-
featuring cities of the state, and factories
that are languishing elsewhere would be
big with prosperity here.
