1T is a well-worn and oft-repeated
MAXIM" says the Interior (Pres.) of
Chicago, that The asserted heresy OF yes
teFday has in scores of instances become
the accepted commonplace of tomorrow
But the truth OF the maxim casts no dis
credit on conservatism when operating in
its legitimate sphere. Were it not for the
brake which conservatism sets, a hasty
radlcalIsm would rush us down a steep
descent OF destruction. Did not cOnser-
vatlsm sitt all commodities offered her
our gold flakes would soon be lost in
mountains of dust. Conservatism, there
fore, IS not to be censured for holding
pack ana refusing to accept untried inno-
vatlons. 1t is divine Injunction which
bids men, Prove all things But when
conservatism, losing its temper, torgets
to be sweet and kind, and begins TO beat
the lnnoyatOr's head with a club, it loses
all claim on our respect and ceases to de-
serve hearing. The complement OF the
conservative is the liberal. While con-
seryatism rests upon the solidity and
reality OF past achievements, the ground
OF liberalism is the imperfeciion of all
human attainment; its warrant is the pos
slDlIIty Of progress. Without bold, vent
uresome pioneers we should become
stagnant. Even the radical is a stimu-
lus, rather than a monaco, to healthy
conservatism. But the sphere of the in
novator IS limited. He who crosses I'M
tracked deserts and drinks of untasted
springs must not expect the less bold
multitude to follow him without ques-
ton. Because they prefer the old wells
and the beaten road he must not wrath
fully seek to drive them over the waste
which he alone has trodden. When he
does that he ceases to be an explorer and
Leader and becomes an unbearably AFRO
giant tyrant. The true function OF the
liberal is to submit Improvement to the
suffrage OF honest and generous conser-
vatism."

The services were held at Kelso, but such
vast crowds massed about the grave at
Yetholm that though Mr.. Davidson made
effort to reach it to say a few words over
the body, the grief of the gypsies and the

gypsy royalty, in its large, old time sense

Court Briefs.

The operations of several chattel mort
gage men in extorting usurious interest
from a victim were laid before the public
yesterday by the fling of complaint on
the part of the victim, seeking release from
their clutches.
The PLAINTIFF in the action is Stanley c.
Bell The defendants are Hunter Millkin,
the Security Mortgage Loan Company, d. r.
Mcknight, Frank p. Archer, the Indianap-
oils Mortgage Loan Company and S.
Mackey. All OF the defendants are we'll
known money sharks" and the operations
of some have been heretofore exposed in the
columns OF the Journal.
The plaintiff alleges that Dec. 80. 1891,
he borrowed Of Frank p. Archer, agent,
general manager and principal stockholder
OF the indianapolis Mortgage Loan Com
pany, the sum of $50. At the time of MAX
ing the loan he gave his note for $3.50, pay
able Jan. 80, 1892, to 8. Mackey; to secure
payment of this note he executed chattel
mortgage upon horse and buggy and GER
tain household goods, the latter the prop
erty of his wife, who joined in the mort
gage. From the time of executing the note
and mortgage until March IL, 1898, Bell al
leges. he paid sums aggregating S56.25, none
of which was credited on the note. At this
he alleges Archer claimed there was still
due on the note the amount of $50. and
threatened to replevin the goods mortgaged
If new note and mortgage were not exc
cuted. The plaintiff alleges that he was
coerced into signing a note for $50, payable
to d. X. Mcknight and to secure this note
was compelled to execute new mortgage,
covering the same property, his Wife not
joining in the second mortgage. The Sec
ond note and mortgage were drawn by Hunt
er Millikin, claiming TO act as agent for Nc
Naught and manager OF the Security Mort
gage Loan Company, under the direction of
Archer. The plaintiff alleges that there was
no consideration for the execution of the
second note or mortgage but since their
execution he has paid TO Millikin, in whose
possession they remained, the sum of $50,
but only So has been credited on the note as
paid Millikin now claims that there is SAT
yet due on the note.
For the $50 borrowed on Dec. 3d. 1891, Bell
has already paid $685. yet the money
sharks claim that he still owes them Sat-
and hold the mortgage over him a club
to enforce its payment He asks that the
notes and mortgages be declared satisfied
and ordered Cancelled.

A Saloon Mans Plea.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
I desire TO enter a protest against the con-
slant and indiscrlminate censure of saloon
keepers by ministers and others who never
stop to consider that some respectable and
honest men are engaged in the liquor trs.f-
ffc under the authorization of law. These
critics condemn all these authorized deal
ers alike although they pay a large rev.
enue into the city treasury, while nothing is
said of the drug stores. which, with wide
open DOORS every day of the year, dispense
whisky behind their prescription cases
without adding q cent to the city revenue.
There may be reckless individuals among
saloon keepers, who attempt to keep open
In defiance or law and order, but the ma,
jority in the legitimate trade prefer to, and
do obey the law and conform TO usageS and
customs the same as honest American cit
liens in other lines of business. The COM
plant I make is that we are prescribed
unjustly when our doors are closed and
others are permitted TO sell at their pleas
ure, and to make drunkardS for whom the
saloons are held responsible. Since the in
coming of the Denny administration il is
plain that the saloon interest is ready to
obey the laws and regulations fixed by the
authorities. On the other hand, there is no
Indication that druggists are TO be limited
in their illegitimate trade. which they have
long followed unchecked.
What the saloon keepers ask is a proper
discrimination by the public. They ask that
all shall not be classed with the lawless ele-
inent and that, since no odium attaches to
druggists for their retail whisky trade that
equal liberation and Justice be accorded to
dealers duly recognized by law. All they
cesire is fairness and Justice. they
would i'm nowise evade or transcend any
law. although compelled 10 pay heavy

tons. SALOON MAN

A STUDY OF THE ARMY WOMEN.
What She Is Not and What She Is
Her Character and Her Endurance.

If there is woman whom one might
delight to honor above all others, 1T Is
be writ on brass, high among the few ex-
allied. For her position is unique among
the sisters of men. She has much to do
and little to do with; her lines would seem
exceptionally unpleasant; it is not given
her TO have even sure abiding place; she
is a dweller in tents, transient In unde-
path Of removals; she is part and parcel
of an organization that officially ignores
her. Against all this 3, It is required I Of her
make and maintain home, to assume
and discharge the cares and Responsible
ties of wifehood and motherhood. 1t is be-
cause she does this, because reliance upon
her is well placed, that a monument to
her eternal praise might Well be consid-
In these later days it has become foible
with some to speak of the army woman
with scant praise and scanter courtesy. she
is made to appear as brewer OF small
mischiefs an insistent retailer of tattlery,
a fomenter of petty strifes and dtscordS.
Possibly this was SO in the days II the ., Old
it is thing Of more recent growth, and
therefore the easier OF eradication. The
fates must have indeed been cross I'd lead
one i'm the ways of such Judgments The
army woman is generally seen at a disad-
vantage; the world In which she moves is
too misshapen to allow SUFFICIENT latitude
for her; but he who blindly persists in mis-
taking surroundings for personality, who
will not discriminate between the she'll and
