amble of the measure, which was pre-
pared by Senator Blodgett, tells the whole
story. 1t recites:-
Whereas, The late Robert Morris, during our
Revolutionary struggle, advanced frt m time to
time large sums of money for the pubnc service
which, it is believed, have not been fully repaid
With these premises it Is proposed to
have the Treasury officials adjust and pay
to the personal representative OF the
financier of the Revolution any moneys
found to be due.
SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT.
Should the examination be extended 1t
would be found that good deal of
money Is due from, as well as to. the
late Robert Norris" as the records of this
district can attest. The astute fiuancier
was among those who came to this city
before it was a city and purchased lots.
not by the dozens. but by the thousands,
it being the presumption that Washing
ton real estate would pan out better than
California gold mine. But he got in over
his depth. only to find his real estate
speculation a veritable South Sea bubble.
In one purchase he obtained from the i'm.
mortal George, or his agents. whose only
objection to the city was that his fellow
citizens proposed to call it after him, a
block of six thousand lots, which. although
wilderness. looked beautiful on paper,
and one OF the terms of the sale was that
Morris should make the lots aforesaid
bloom with brick houses. The houses
could not be bui ON paper, like the lots,
and the first scheme Tor Washtngton's
development "busted" and blew Finan-
cier Morris entirely out of the real estate
world.
1t Is not the landed Interests in Wash
ingtou. however, that concern the Morris
heir CT heirs, for, like all great men. ex-
cept Washington, who was only prolific
in black servants. some of whom claim
vet to bA living Norris has manV descend
ants, il all the claimants are legitimate.
Indeed, we have not a few of them here In
Washington. and only very recently they
got into lively newspaper Wrangle to
prove their claims o the Morris ancestor
snip. The only thing proved, though, If
all the witnesses are to believed, is that
Robert Morris has no descendants, tor
each and every mothers sou or daughter
of them solemnly swore that the other
fellows could boast of no Norris blood.
and were frauds of the most gigantic
stature. While the contest was ut its
hottest, several New Jersey individuals
became em mbroiled. and they capped the
climax by affirming that their ancestor.
Robert Morris, left nothing behind him
in Washing on but waste of land, over
which mirage of great brick buildings
elusively hovered. The matter between
ancestor ana descendants then was left In
such complex state that il might turn
out to be even a harder job to find any
Morris heirs that it will be to determine
whether the Government owes them any
money or not.

What / Know About Hardware
and Interest.

The laws which regulate interest
are similar to those which regulate in
surance. The risk of loss determines
the rate. Some property can be in
sured at l per cent, some at 2 l 2 per
cent, some at per cent. and some
property cannot be insured for less
than 10 per cent. Powder houses aud
oil houses cannot be insured at all.
Some citizens of Waco can borrow all
the money they want at per cent,
others have to pay 10 per cent. others
cannot borrow any money at any rate.
An act to regulate the rise and fall of
the Mississippi river or the rise and
fall of the thermometer, would be no
more absurd than an act to regulate
the rate of interest or insurance. Our
law makers in their great wisdom %
thought that 10 per cent. usury law
would cause money lenders to run
after borrowers and beg them to take
their money at low rate. If any bor-
rover has been overwhelmed with Of
fers of cheap money, the fact has
never been made known. No one will
pay Is per cent. for money unless it
will cost him more not to borrow, but
under the law, loans whose risk is
worth more than 10 per cent. cannot
be made at all.

BIaine's SUCCESSOR.

The Man from Pike County, Ind, Is the
Most Experienced Diplomat in the
United States-He Has Pleasant Home
and an Accomplished Wife.
The Portland daily press., 1892-07-09

1t is easy to see why he has been so
successful. His character is that of
straightforwardness, simplicity, frank
ness mixed with admirable caution. It
is refreshing to know successful dip
lomat who does not believe that the
first principle of diplomacy is lying.
When Foster can't state the truth he
maintains silence. He has none of the
average diplomats love for mystifca-
tion, for pomp and ceremony. He has
no sympathy with snobbishness in any
form. Of polished and dignifed man
ner, he is informal and simple. He is a
delightful talker and a polished writer.
To become secretary of state Colonel
Foster has found it necessary to make q
great financial sacrifice, possibly as
much as $4,000 year, for of course it
would be impossible for him to be at the
head of the state department. and at the
same time accept fees from foreign eli
ents. No wonder he hesitated.

fashioned but elegant house, which is
filled with art treasures from all the

ARTHUR PARKER.
A Nebraska Mans wife.

The New York Sun tells an interest
ing story of William Truesdale, of Bea-
trice, Neb., who, it says, has secured in
the circuit court of that town an abso-
Lutte divorce on the novel ground that
his wife, Amelia, is an incorrigible liar.
He says that during their three years of
married life his wife has told at least
10000 lies. In his petition for the di-
vorce he says, "She cannot tell the
truth, and while it is in the nature of a
disease I believe it is incurable."
Here are few of the yarns told by
his wife which Truesdale cites in his
petition filed in the court: She told
him that his mother had just been found
dead in bed, murdered by unknown per-
sons that their nearest neighbor and
his best friend had attempted a Grim
inal assault upon her; that she had re-
ceived letter from lawyer in her old
home, telling her she had inherited a
fortune, and to send him fifty dollars at
once (she spent the money for a new
dress); that their little son had fallen
in the well and broken his leg Che was
asleep in the crib; that their minister
had eloped with servant girl, leaving
his wife and five children destitute,
which story, when repeated by him, was
the means of costing him 800 and deal
of trouble to keep from being convicted
of criminal libel. There was long
string of equally interesting fables fled
in Mr.. Truesdale's petition, and the court
considered he had good grounds for se-
curing the divorce he got.
