Pefer's Bill ARain.

Kansas senior senator has come to
the front with his old bill in new
form again 10 make his constituents
blush. lie calls IL a bill to "increase
the currency and provide for its circu-
lation; TO reduce the rate OF interest,
and to establish "A bureau Of loans
1t provides for "a loan bureau, to be
conducted by three commissioners with
salaries Of $4,000 year each. This
bureau Is to establish loan agencies,
one Of which is to be ut the capital Of
each state and territory. The loans
are to be made for periods Of not less
than one year nor more than blank
years, and they are to be in sums of
not less than 800 nor more than s2500
to or for any one person or family, and
no loan Ia to be made for any other
purpose than TO procure or save home.
The money for the purposes Of the bill
Ia to be n product Of the cngravers' aud
printers arts, and IL not to exceed the
total amount of gold aud silver coin
and bullion belonging to the United
States plus 80 per cent Of that amount.
Banks and corporations are prohibited
from demanding or receiving more
than 8 per cent interest in any case, or
more than per cent where the loan Is
for longer term than one year.
There are few little things that Mr..
PETER seems not to have taken into
account. In the first place the total
amount which conld be loaned under
the act would hardly suffice to supply
tho wants OF people who would like to
procure or save homes. The whole
amount Of gold owned by the govern.
ment on the Goth ult. was only about
Sll5, 100, 900, and the amount Of silver
owned, Including fractional coin, is
not far from ga, 1000, 900, giving total
Of Sl3l 100, 900 gold and silver. Add
90 per cent to this aud We have $780,
$4,000 as the whole amount that could
be loaned, This would provide for the
wants OF less than 10000 persons or
families desiring to get or save homes
to the extent of g., 900 ON the average.
Probably there would be ten times that
number of applicants for loans, and
nine out of ten would get nothing, aud
they would join the great army of dis.
appointed Office seekers In expressing
unfavorable opinions of the admins.
tration.
In the second place, IL congress
should assume to prescribe the rate of
interest for banks and corporations
organized under state laws 1t would be-
very likely to fail, AS that is a matter
for the several states to regulate. But
II the conIts should hold such an act of
congress To be constitutional II would
not be necessary for the government to
go into the loan business. Congress-
could make banks, corporations and
individuals lend at rates satisfactory to
borrowers. That is to say, the bearded
dreamer thinks so, which for the pur.
poses of the present discussion, herr
ended, comes to the same thing.

proud, had been wound three times
around her throat and fastened there.
One hand, the one which had turned
the faucet and started the water,
clutched the highly polished piece of
metal in the grip Of death, The body
lay partly upon one side and was sub
merged in the water. There was no
evidence that the young woman had
suffered. The face looked calm and
peaceful as it lay there framed in the
beautiful black hair. Various causes
are given for the deed, prominent
among which is disappointed love.
