ThE BREEDERS. MEErlnn

The 9th annual summer meeting of the
State Breeders association came to an
end at White River Junction last Thurs
day night. 1t was found advisable
to crowd the whole programme
into two daYs-rain had necessiated a
postponement of the opening from Tues
day to Wednesday-as the attendance
did not warrant an attempt to keep the
the thing gong another day. The man
agement did everything in their power to
make the meeting a success. They ad-
vertised it widely and we'll, and after the
meeting began they provided lots of
entertainment. But in spite of all the
attractions there were hardly 20OO people
present any day of the meeting. 1t is
extremely improbably that the associa-
ton will again try to have its meeting at
the Junction.

Lawyer Prouty of Newport has just
returned from pilgrimage to Minneapo-
lis, whittier he went 10 see what was left
of the Northwestern Guaranty Loan
company, which had considerable money
from that section of our commonwealth.
HIS report is decidedly discouraging, but
the creditors in whose behalf he made
the investigation decided to hire Min
neapolis lawyer to look after their inter-
ests. The United States Investor of Bos-
ton has also looked into the company's
affairs. Here are some of its findings;
The outlook for the creditors of The in
solvent Northwestern Guaranty Loan
company of this city is not a promising
one, and the further its affairs are inves-
tigated the more unfavorable the situa-
ton appears the more evident becomes
the fact that bad Judgment and gross mis-
maDag cement have been the principal
causes of the collapse of this corporation.
With a capital stock of 81 $50, 900, a
special guaranty fund of Sl50,000, and a
surplus of 1925, 900, it now appears doubt
full if there will ever be realized enough
from the wreck of this company to net
the holders of its commercial paper 25
cents on dollar. AS to what will be
realized finally on the debentures of the
company it is very difficult matter to
determine, and ii must remain doubtful
until the securities behind the several Sc
Ties have been more fully Investigated.

who would have at Washington a grand
national educating machine. Ex-Sena-
tor Edmunds was, we believe, the origi-

utterly insignificant in comparison with
PETERS. The latter has introduced a
bill creating, not a university, but a
department of education, and providing
for the setting up in the District of

ing, whatever that may be, at a cost of

TRIED TO WRECK THE SLEEPER.

An attempt was made to wreck the
New York sleeper on the Bennington and
Rutland road near Wallingford early
Wednesday morning. The nuts which
fasten the needle beams to the track
chords on what is called the Childs bridge
were all removed, leaving nothing to sup
port the bridge but the lateral rods. The
train was running about 40 miles an hour,
and only the last car, an empty sleeper,
was wrecked. No one was injured, al
though the colored porter in the rear car
had a narrow escape. About GO feet of
the bridge is wrecked and lies IN the
stream 10 feet below.
No clue to the wrecker has been dis
covered, although the sheriff has been
looking into the matter since the wreck oc-

pie who read the San Saba News

There are two great issues, two
parties, two armies as Mr. Burns
ard yourself have SO stated in the
News of the 23rd of Dec. Two
armies, but fear you lose the army
figures as presented. The reason
1 think SO is because you take one
army as the Republicans and

Burns) "would have said that
there were three armies" The
armies are but two, labor and cap
ital: the wealth makers and and
the wealth gatherers.
The army of capitalist are the
invaders upon the rights of the
laborers first in this country, pro
ducers of wealth, (no labor and
land, no wealth, all wealth comes
from labor and land.)
Then wealth gatherers through
an act of congress and other legis-
lative bodies made the encroacb-
ments on the rights of the laborer
or common people (producers),
and they are in all three of the po-
litical parties, and these constitute
one army. Wealth producers by
labor and wealth gatherers by Ell
actments of law.
We don't blame the millionaire
