The practice of extorting usurious in
terest is one that ought to be prevented.
The difficulty arises when an attempt is
made to devise a measure that will pre-
vent it. If the rate of interest is limited
by law the money lender manages to
evade the law by taking out his interest,
or so much of it as is in excess of six
per cent, in advance. Various expedi-
ents have been resorted to to defeat the
usurer, but hey have not met with mu h
success.

One of the most important passages in
Gov. Cleaves's message is that which re-
lates to what is known as private or
special legislation. The evils of this
kind of legislation have long been recog-
nized, and efforts have been made in this
and other States, and in Congress to re-
duce it to the minimum. All legislation
of this sort cannot be avoided, but it can
be brought into much narrower limits
than has yet been done. There are two
great objections to this kind of legisla-
ton. In the first place it occupies a
great deal of time and if it is to continue
unrestricted either the length of the SEES
sions must be increased, which can only
be done at considerable expenditure of the
peoples money, or the public business
must be hurriedly, and therefore I'M
satisfactorily transacted. In the second
place this kind of legislation is very
liable to subject the legislator to power
full temptation. 1t is the kind that as
sembles the lobby and gives rise to
the fights that are prolific of corruption
and scandal,

William c.. Whitney's decision not to
go into Cieveland's cabinet is undoubt-
eddy wise. Mr. Whitney is looking
ahead to the Democratic national con-
vention of 1896. and he is shrewd enough
TO see that if he goes into Cleveland
cabinet he is likely to be mixed up in
the coming fight in New York, and incur
the hostility of one or the other of the
factions. If he can keep aloof from the
quarrel, four years hence he may be the
harmony candidate of both wings of the
party.

Deacon S. V. White, of Brooklyn is
rare man. In September he failed,
with liabilities of S1,750,0o0. On the
last day of December he mailed the last
check due his creditors, having paid all
of them in full, together with legal in :
terest. Few men could have retrieved
their fortunes in so short time, and
very few men would have felt bound to
settle the old scores in full. The .'dea-

LOST ON ELECTIONS.
Fall Rivers Missing Teller Tried to Square
Himself by Specializing.

FALL RIVER, Mass, March 22.-Henry
B. Palmer, the defaulting teller Of the
Fall River National bank, lost heavily on
the presidential election and speculated to
get money to pay. He is said to have tried
mill stocks, but his heavy losses came
through bucket shop here. He had no
lntimates and kept his affairs 20 we'll to
himself that his acts cannot be easily
traced. He lost heavily on his specula-
tions and Is thodght to have taken only q
small amount Of money away. The bank
officials have nothing to say about Palmer
and his operations, but 1t is learned on
good authority that he began to steal from
lhe bank Nov. 80, 1892. He then took
1900 o. He undoubtedly fled when detection
was certain, and he fed alone.

Everything is artistic, from the decora-

hats and bonnets, which are now trimmed
very richly, as gold and precious stones
prevail still. The greatest novelty Of the

Are You Among The List

Show Proof of Your Naturalization on
or Before Saturday.

The action OF the Republi Board OF
Aldermen, aided by the vote Of the Alder
man from the Second Ward, in dis
franchising over one thousand OF our
foreign born citizens OF all classes, has
aroused the Democrats to even greater
activity than heretofore.
They have gone to the trouble and ex-
pense OF finding out all the names which
have been stricken from the voting lists
and we print them below. Every man
whose name is on the list should present
his papers to the City Clerk on or before
Saturday. 1t Is the duty OF each ward
committee to seek out the parties named
below and get their papers or some proof
that they have been naturalized. Singular
ly enough some native born voters have
been stricken off the list, but the easiest
and safest way for them IL to walk up the
hill meekly, prove it, and then walk down
again with the proud consciousness that
they have bested the most "intelligent"
party and the "better element" OF both
parties In this city.
