National Banks.

1t Is probably true that small capital
lists who start in the national banking
business TODAY do not realize q great
profit, owing to the high price which they
are compelled to pay for government
bonds. But what q gigantic theft this
system was in the beginning vas we'll de-
scribed by Hon. s. 8. Marshall Of ILL
nois, while in congress in 1866:
IAN association Of gentlemen in an
eastern state raised 100000 in cur
rency. They went to the office of the
treasury and exchanged their currency
for $500, 600 in SIX per cent gold bearing
bonds. They then went to the office of
comptroller Of the currency IN the same
building, organized a national bank, de-
posted their $4,000 in bonds and re.
celved for their bank $780, 900 in ma
tional currency. They had let the gov
eminent have $50, 900 in currency more
than they received for banking purposes,
and had On deposit 100000 on which
they received as interest from the GOV
eminent $4,000 q year IN gold land ex-
empt from taxation). This was pretty
good f1anciering for these bankers to
receive $4,000 a year IN gold on the
100000 in currency which they had
thus loaned to the government. But
this is not the whole story. They had
their bank made a public depository.
They soon discovered there was scarcely
ever less than $1,000. 900 of government
money deposited within their vaults.
They did not like to see this vast sum
lie idle. They therefore took $1,000, 900
OF this government money and bought
$1,0O 900 Of $50 bonds with 1T. In
other words, they loaned $1,OOO,OOO OF
the governments own money to the gov
eminent, and deposited the bonds re.
ceived in the vaults Of their bank, on
which they received from the same gov.
eminent 100000 a year in gold as inter.
est. Thus, for the $4,000 in currency
which they originally loaned to the gov
eminent, they received annually in all,

JUDGE BROWN ON CAPITAL AND

Justice Brown OF the United States
supreme court this week made a most
remarkable address before the Yale law
school. He took for his subject the
growing division between concentrated
CAPITAL and organized labor and made a
speech which from another source would
be hailed by the great city press as an.
archy. He traced the growth OF corpo-
rate power since the war, describing the
process Of theft known as watering
stocks, showed up tho methods Of cor.
rupting the legislative power and gaining
the ability to indefinitely tax the people.
1t was 9 scathing arrangement OF pres.
ont conditions in this country, a gloomy
lnvective which must have shocked be-
yOnd comparison the conservative ex-
ponents Of laissez faire who pass their
peaceful lives under the great elms. But
he did not stop there. He stated en-
phatlcally that in his opinion the evil
was increasing, was menacing che peace
and happiness Of the great mass OF the
people. and would unless checked reduce
them to practical serfdom. Moreover,
and this was the BLACKLIST part Of the
address, he declared that the great ag-
gregations could not be controlled, that
their power OF corruption in one form or
another was too great for the people to
neutralizs. that the onlv safety layin the
seizing and operating by the government
Of all the natural monopolles and OF all
the means OF production which could be
monopolized. Coming from such a source
the address is worthy the closest atten-
ton. It is a tremendous support of the
Populist platform. Is it possible that

Recovered some stolen bullion.

Recovered Some Stolen Bullion.
Superintendent Grier returned to Lead
City yesterday from Sioux Falls, where
it seems he had gone on missions other
than attending court, where the Home
stake timber Ease motions were being
argued. Mr.. Grler was met at the Fort
Pierre depot by Walter E. Smead, his
assistant superintendent, and the twain,
says the Independent OF last evening,
proceeded to the Society cemetery west
Of Lead and without any bother what
ever uncovered $4,000 worth of the
crude bullion which was stolen by the
Street brothers over a year ago. The
Independent representative was unable
to CLEAN any Of the facts regarding the
manner in which Mr.. Grier was led to
the hiding place OF the treasure, but the
fact Of the find evidences nothing else
than revelation by AlexanderG Street,
who is in the state prison paying the
penalty for the crime. The facts regard
ing the big steals mado by the Street
brothers, A. G. and j. L., and their sub
sequent arrest and incarceration, are
fresh IN the minds of all. 1t is well
known that the two families did not
work h~armoniously, and that the bull
lion had been removed from it's first
hiding place, presumably by Mrs. A. G.
Street, which accounts in a measure for
the ability of the company in retrieving

will take is the question of the hour

Steward Benner has had the bakery enlarged
by the addition of the room formerly used as
the state blacksmith shop, under the tailor shop.
The room has been entirely renovated. supplied
with new tile flooring, and the brick wall divid-
ing this shop from the bakeshop removed, een-
Meeting the two rooms. 1t is a much needed i'm
provement, as the additional space will be fitted
with shelving and used as cooling and general
storeroom. The doorway leading into the black
smith shop, from the court has been partly
walled up and window frames placed in, giving
this room sufficient light and ventilation. 1t is
an all round improvement and the bakery boys
appreciate it.

NOT BONA RIDE RESIDENTS
Maryland Authorities Refuse Many
washingtonians Registration.
Strict Enforcement Of the La W In Near
by Counties Causes Consterna-
tion in the Camp.

The rigid enforcement OF the registration
laws in Maryland has attrac.cd much in
terest among local politicians in this city,
to say nothing, In snany instances, of dis
appointment ana dismay.
The custom has prevailed during two
or three score of years for large numbers
of voters living in the District to certify
themselves as being legal residents of the
adjacent counties in Maryland. and a suf
Gclent force OF these transient citizens
cast their ballots in Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties To change the
political complexion of those counties.
For the purpose Of cutting off this
source or outside assistance the Maryland
legislature recently enacted a stringent
registration law, which, of course, is ap-
plicabic to the whole State but has its
visible effects mainly in the counties men
toned. As a consequence many enbarrass-
Ing ana lud;crous situations have arisen
and several politicians have found them
selves in the position of the man whose
house was blown away by a cyclone while
he slept.
As an illustrations. B. II. Warner, the
popular president OF The BoaId of Trade,
has Il summer residence ut Kcnsington,
and was chiefly Instrumental in building
up that ilourisbing suburb. He has been
prominently mentioned as a possible Re-
publican Congressional nominee in the
Sixth district. where Gcorg,. l.. yelling
ton, Il Republican, was chosen at the last
election But when the preliminary steps
necessary To casting his ballot as usual at
the Wheaton voting precinct were taken
he was not allowed 10 register. This
throws him ont of the political arena
unless he shall hereafter rc-establish his
legal residence in the district.
a more Dccngruous Instance, and one
which is ocrasioniDg much gossip, is the
refusal OF registration to Tom Noyes, who
is chairman Of the Montgomery County Re
publican committee. This places the com
mittee in a headiess attitude, and is con-
sidercd by the Democrats as an unusually
good joke.
Among other leading Republicans who
have been refused registration are Crosby.
Frank and Theodore Noycs, who have all
heretofore maintained legal residence in
Montgomery County. 1t is estimated that
fully 500 voters living in Washington who
have in previous elections cast their bal
lots in that county alone have been cut
off by the vigorous enforcement OF the regis
tration laws.

The first of the subt erranean fires was dis
covered on George Wells farm, near Column
bus. The tenant. I. n. Armstrong, was the
first one to have his attention attracted to
the phenomena, he having noticed small
columns of smoke issuing from the ground
at different places on piece of meadow or
pa asture land. and later flames. The flames
possessed no illuminating qualities, but
passed off considerable heat, as is the case
with all flames of a gaseous nature.
An investigation then followed. 1t was
finally concluded that the fire Origina ted
from spontaneous combustion. There had
been no fires of any kind upon the surface
of the tract, and surface fire would hardly
have pcnctrated to a depth of eight or
nine inches.
The intensity of the heat generated may
be gathered from the fact that the ground
at the surface was literally baked. and
caused many cracks or crevices. through
which the fire and smoke issued. The
roots of large trees were reduced TO ashes.
causing them to fail over.
All efforts to extinguish the strange con-
flagration have thus far proved fruitless.
As fast as il was dug out and extinguished
with water and sand it would break out at
another place. until the men gave up the
work and decided TO await a storm to
