MONOPOLY MILLDEW.
ONLY A FEW DISTRESSES OF
THE PAST WEEK CUT OF
HUNDREDS.

(By Paul F%ontaine.).
Sioux City passed a resolution June 4
ordering $40. 900 of bonds issued with
which to take up their floating indebted
ness. For shame on this damnable bond
age system.
Confronted by a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Railroad operated at a loss Of $687 900 as
compared with a profit for the year 1893
Of 81, $50, 900. What immense prosperity
the chumps are getting. Let her grind.
Dollard Is Indicted-Trolley Man In
Trouble.-President of Brooklyn COM
panies said to have declared a dividend
when the corporations were really bank
rupt.-All this is nothing new. This
company Quarreled with their men. The
Peoples Party platform demands public
ownership of street railways, gas, water
and electric light plants, as we now own
and control the school, police, fire and
street departments.
Knocks Out the Concern.-Madison,
Wis.-(Special .)eInsurance Commission
err Fricke today refused to license the
Youths Endowment Association, of Min
neapolis, to do business in this state. In
his opinion on the case he says that the
company cannot successfully transact
business on the endowment plan, and
that, according to present indications,
the company cannot survive January,
1898.
Failure of Wine Importers.-John Os-
born, Son & Co., As Beaver street, N. Y,
go into a receivers hands. Loss, $780,
900. This firm was one of the Oldest in
the city. What a story Of woe always
accompany these failures are we'll known
to all who have been caught in a similar
boat.
Read this one for a clincher. Power
full safe being made.-A great treasure
box which is MOB and BURGLAR proof.
1t will be placed in the New York Clear
ing (Robbers Roost) House in a few days.
1t will weigh $50, 900 pounds. Expert
safe breakers could not force IN entrance
under eight days. How well the New
York paper security, interest sucking
Cookoos are judging the times near at
hand. We would advise all to read Don
nelly's Caesar Column.
Another Bank Explodes.-The Okla
homa National Bank was forced to close
up June 2. Hurrah for old party pros
perity. Hit hard boys and relief will
soon reach you. Be careful not to ad-
vocate government (People's) banks, be-
cause you know they can't bust.
The Banker Gets Of.-Such was the
headline in a dispatch from Parsons,
Kan, concerning Angel Mathews, who
was president of the bursted City Bank
Of that place. Poor widows and orphans.
What comfort their little ones will get
out of those hard earned dollars that
have melted away.
Miners Want Help.-Say they cannot
earn enough to support themselves. The
miners of Massillion, Ohio, June 5, voted
to accept the new scale of 81 cents under
protest, and at the same time framed a
strong appeal to Gov. Mckinley to send
relief. They ask for help on the ground
that they are now physically weak from
long restitution and that at the new rate
they cannot supply themselves with the
necessaries of life, even with steady
work.
Still the leaves of mildew continue to
fall. The postoffice shuts out a Chicago
firm and closes the mails to Vernon &
Co., commission merchants, of ii and 16
Pacific avenue. This firm organized
blind pools or syndicats for speculation
on the wheat market. Its operations
were brought to the attention of the post
Office department some time ago. An in
spector was detailed to make an investi-
cation of the firms transactions and re-
ported them to be fraudulent.
