SENATOR PEFFER'S BILL.
He Would Have the Government Loai
100000 200 to the People of Indiana.

100000 900 to the People of Indiana.
WASHINGTON, Jan. o. Mr.. PEI
fer, the Alliance Senator from Kansas,
introduced bill of purely Alliance
character, intended to secure the loan
by the national government of the sum
of 800, 900, 900 to the people of Indiana
The preamble recites that the people Of
Indiana are labo. ing under the burden
of enormous interest charges made pos
sible by great scarcity of money, the
direct result of the legislation favoring
the eredit-owning capitalists, and hos
tile to the wage Garner and producer,
resulting in the enforced mortgagng
of lands in Indiana to such an extent
as to threaten their loss. The bill
itself authorizes the Secretary of the
Treasury to issue treasury notes to the
amount of 800, 900, 200. These notes
are to be loaned to the people of Indi-
ana on mortgages upon their lands
Every one who accepts loan of this
description is to give promissory note
for the amount, and he is limited in his
borrowing to one-half of the cash valu-
alton of his land. To secure fair rat
of interest on the money loaned,
the Governor of the State is
to collect semi-annually a
tax of l per cent, and turn
it into the national treasury.
When the principal of the notes fall
! due, if the promissory notes are un-
paid, the mortgages are to be fore
closed and the land sold. If there is
no bidder for tract the land is to be
bid in for the United States, and the
occupant is to be permitted to remain
upon it in consideration of the payment
of rental equal to a tax of per cent.
A safeguard upon the Issue of the
Treasury notes under the terms of the
bill is provided in a clause limit ng
their amount to a total not exceeding
500 per capita for the whole country,
and not less than $50 per capita for the
whole population of the State of In

Say Egan Became a Policeman.

VALPARAISO, Jan. 12.--There is a
great deal of talk about the action OF
Minister Egan in escorting the three
Balmacedist refugees-Juan and Will
lam McKenna and Jose Garrera-from
the American legation at Santiago to
Valparaiso and placing them aboard
the United States cruiser Yorktown,
but the knowledge that he did so with
the tacit approval of the administra-
ton has disarmed severe criticism
The press gives considerable space to
the subject, but discusses it in calm
manner.
While in no wise condemning Mr..
Egan for what he has done in the mat
ter it asserts that the United States
government must assume the response
bility if its minister loses the respect
of the public in escorting such charac-
tiers as these refugees, for his so doing
degrades him to the level of a police

Or all the necessaries that COM
munity consumes in its ordinary life
perhaps the major portion of its de-
mand, because this is constant and
daily renewed, is under the control OF
its women. In their hands are the
economies of the household. Few men
ever ask or know what particular va
riety of products is consumed in the
kitchen. She who graces the home
and rules its details with so fine a
hand is arbiter there. Yet in most
households the greater part of the
family income must be devoted to
these expenditures. and the question
whether supplies are of local or other
manufacture becomes vital one In
the kitchen lie the sources OF demand
whose supply, in great part, will effect
the question OF helping our home in
dustries. Let our women understand
thoroughly the purpose had in view,
let them become partners in our feel
ing and our purpose. and from the do
main of food supplies alone we may
keep to ourselves traffic worth thou
sands.

THERE is certain indefinite per,

ers and these are perhaps the major
ity of all, who wish to reform and who
will do II they are favored by circum-

WHAT does persist in one class OF
convicts who wish to reform is the
self-indulgence and lack Of self-control
that sent them TO prison originally.
They are no worse perhaps on their
release than many who will never Sc
violate the criminal code as to be i'm
prisoned. but their self.indulgence will
lead them to repeat their acts Of law
lessness. There is yet another and a
very small class who commit crime for
orime's sake. These only are the
really hardened criminals They
are In the last stages of moral idiocy,
and the only thing that can be done
for them is to lock them up where
they can do the least harm te
themselves and others.

1T Is a phenomenon in the history
OF crime that the medical profession
should furnish so large a proportion
Of criminals. Every year consider
able number pass under state super
vision for punishment and in most
cases 1t is observed that they have
either become victims to habits their
scientific training should have guarded
them against or that they had failed
to make living by the practice of
medicine and were driven TO crime by
want The latter fact indicates that
the profession is so seriously over
crowded that measures ought to be
taken to make admission to it more
difficult Now anybody with money
enough to pay the small fees de-
manded can get into any of scores of
so-called medical colleges, and after
pretended study for six months of each
two or three years. come forth with a
diploma A diploma, however does
not secure practice. Doctors are con-
tinually dropping out Of the profess
sion on account of failure to make a
living at it. They are glad TO take up
other occupations in which success Is
more certain.
