A Point in History. .

four noble (9 Senators who are preventing the passage of @ bill vi tal to the business interests of the entire country will read the sad his tory of poor Poland they will find much of instruction and much to condemn their present course. Un. der the rules of the Senate it seems impossible for that august body of lawmakers to reach a vote on the Wilson'bill, notwithstanding a,major- ity of the Senators are in favor of it's passage. There is a case exactly in point in the history of Poland. It was in the seventeenth century that the Ltderam I'eto-a dangerous innovation-was introduced into the Polish Diet, which enabled any one member of the Diet to defeat any measure to which he was op posed, to stop the proceedings, and even to dissolve the Diet. In speak ing of the Liberam Fcto, Prof. Clare, in his History of the World, says: Scarcely any measure could be pro posed in an assembly of 400 persons which would receive the approba- tion of everyone of them; and every member was thus enabled to pre- vent the passage of even the most important laws when he was in- fuenced by passion, by private in terest or by bribery from foreign sources. This absurd custom, so pregnant with disorders, hastened the ruin of Poland. Under this rule the power of Poland began to rapidly decline. To retrive the fall ing fortunes of Poland the brave and noble John Sobieski-the great warrior who gained a brilliant vic tory over the Turks near Korzin, and at Vienna, and decided the great question whether the crescent of Islam or the cross of Christ was to wane forever over the spires of all Europe-even this great warrior and patriot of Poland was called to the throne to save the falling for tunes of his country, but against all of his reforms the LtJeram Feto was invariably interposed, and after a reign of a few brief years the un- happy King confessed with tears in his eyes that he was unable to save his beloved Poland, and retired from the throne.
 This was two centuries ago, but our Senators have seemingly learned nothin 2 from the teachings and ex- amples of history, Today we are witnessing the Interpretation of the Liberam Feto in the Senate of the United States by a few Senators who are either directly or indirectly interested in the price and value of silver bullion. Under the Senate rial courtesy customs and tradi- tions of the Senate, that body is ap- parently unable to pass any measure without unanimous consent. If a

thoroughly frightened, and tried to es-

and followed into the house to obtain
them, still insisting on the money They
finally gave UP the search and left with

$500 in her hands that she had taken out

which will aid in identifying them. There

KOKOMO Ind, Oct. 17.-By an unexpect-
ed move, all the trials for embezzlement
in the Paris-Dwiggins Greentown Bank
wreck will go over until the next term.
This was brought about by motion of the
States attorneys, who do not wish to try
Ex-Governor Chase and Cashier Walden in
advance Of John w. Paris, the bank presi-
dent, who this week secured change Of
venue to Clinton county, and whose trial
is not expected before January.
The policy of Prosecutor Wolf and his
associates, c. c. Shirley and Milton Ball,
is to make their big fight on Paris who is
the man particularly supposed to have got
ten all the money due the defrauded cred
itors-about $4,000. Believing they have
the strongest case against Paris, they do
not care to jeopardize weaken their case
against him by previous failures to convict
In the Chase and Walden trials, which
would almost certainly result if the two
latter were tried at this time. The States
attorneys have no hope of convicting either
Chase or Walden now or at any future
time, and il may be set down as a certain
ty that their cases will never come 10 trial,
unless demanded by them.
Mr.. Paris, the president of the looted
bank, is the man the State and creditors
are after and the case Will be fought with
all the vigor and ability that can be thrown
into the contest The State will be repre-
scented by the Clinton county prosecuting
attorney. Prosecutor Pyke and Deputy
Prosecutor Wolf, of this judicial circuit,
Hon. c. c. Shirley, appointed by the court
to assist in the actions, and Hon. Milton

ests. Mr. Paris has employed eX-Prosecu-

slyke, ex-president of the Guaranty In

was indicted by the federal grand jury Of
Chicago yesterday, and whose home is in
this city, was seen by reporter this MORN
ing, and talked very freely concerning his
company and it's methods. 1.-The action
taken at Chicago, said Mr.. Van Slyke, lis
simply the persecution Of the life insurance
companies. The business is based upon the
same principles that underlie life insur-
ance, and it is just exactly legitimate in
all respects as life insurance. We have paid
$50, 900 worth of bonds in this city during
the past four months at an average cost
of $50 per bond. There were three bonds
redeemed in this city in July, nine in Au-
gust, three IN September and fifteen so far
this month In closing the interview Mr..
Van Syke said: You had better draw 1t
mildly. so that, you. will have less to re
tract after awhile" Mr.. Van Slyke has
not been arrested, and says he knows moth
ing of the action of the court except as 1T
appears in the papers. and seems quite in
different to the whole affair.
Among the patrons of the Guaranty In
vestment Company In this city are prom
inent people in every rank and condition
OF life, and quite a number of them have
had their bonds redeemed within the past
few weeks. Several of those who bought
the bonds of the company less than two
years ago. and have paid for them less
than $40 have drawn the sum Of $1,000
each 1t is not true that all local investors
In this scheme went into 1t innocently as

versation the other day with q man who
had just drawn his $1,000, he said BUY

high now. 1 was on the ground floor; I've

A Sprong the local managers of the COM
pany, and at least $4,000 more, making a

ground that the manager naturally so
licited his personal acquaintance early in
the life of the enterprise; but when the
end comes IL may be regarded some
thing else than mere coincidence that
placed some of these numbers in the hands
of those who have proflted by them.
