THE A. B. c. OF THE THING.

THE A. B. C. OF THE THING.
When ''A' becomes the debtor of "B,"
and the latter receives from the former a
mortgage upon property to secure pay
ment Of the debt, if there is failure to pay
upon maturity the creditor "B," fore
closes, as it is called. That is to say, he
brings an action against the debtor, and
prays that it may be decreed that the
security be sold to satisfy the debt. If
judgment is given accordingly, then the
property is sold, and if the proceeds of the
sale exceed the sum Of the debt, the sur
plus is paid over to the debtor.
But this debtor has what is called an
''equity of redemption"; that is, within a
certain time he may redeem the property.
If another creditor holds a mortgage
upon "A's" property, and it pre-
cedes "B's" in the matter Of date, it is
what is called "a prior mortgage lien,n
and "B" cannot proceed to foreclose his
mortgage and sell the property, except
he does SO subject to this prior lien;
which is to say, the purchaser buys at
the foreclosure sale with knowledge that
his title is incumbered by such lien. But
''B" may clear off this incum brance by
himself paying up the prior mortgage
lien.
This is the position OF the Federal Gov
ernment in the matter. of the Pacific
Railway debt. 1t is not yet due, at least
SO much as has fallen due has been pro-
vided for, as also that to fall due next year.
The Government is second creditor,
and it can foreclose if there is failure to
pay, but only subject to the first mort
gage. 1t must, therefore, when the time
comes, and if there is default of payment,
proceed to foreclose in the regular way.
But to have something worth selling it
must clear off the prior debt that is to
say, it must borrow money to pay up the
claims of the earlier creditor.
All this clatter about "takineu the
roads and "seizing" the property is rank
nonsense. That was done in the days of
despots and when the rack and the
thumbscrew were the chief means of
| compelling submission to injustice. And
| after the Government shall have taken
up the first debt and have foreclosed to
| recover its own due, there will remain
| the equity of redemption out of the hands
OF whomsoever buys.
But, suppose when the Government
comes to consider sale of the road to
satisfy proposed judgment, that it finds
not enough will be offered to wipe out
the judgment. Then, in that case, the
Government could bid in the property,
using the judgment rs the means of pay
ment. In that way it could "take" the
road, and in no other without overturn-
| ing its system of doing justice.
Now, suppose for arguments sake that
the Government must have railroad 10
make clear present to California, out OF
| hand and regardless of who pays for it:
or that it wants q railroad to operate for
California interests at the bare cost OF
operating and fixed charges, regardless OF
who puts up the coin for it; and that il

mountain of truth in the nutshell of
seven lines:
a community can have too many of what
are nomlnally good citizens for It's own well
iare. These nominally good citizens virtues
are all negative and their failure to assert
themselves in politics leaves the management
of affairs to the mob.
The good citizen is not toe-toaster
when the need of his community calls
for activity out in the blast and the
storm. Negative virtues never yet made
good citizenship. The very fact that a
man has no assertive. affirmative public
spirit proves that he is not paying the
debt every one owes to the community in
which he lives. Yet this class of men
are the chief roarers when the natural re-
suits of their neglect of duty pinch their
pockets and trespass upon their comfort.

The jury in the case Of Lillian Hart

GILMoRE,s BAND.
Great Band Orchestra and Great
SOlOists on Thursday Night


Gilmore famous orchestral band. di-
rected by Victor Herbert, will appear
In grand concert at the Metropolitan
on Thursday evening, together with
distinguished artists especially secured
for the present Gilmore tour.
Gllmore's must not be COMPOUNDED
with mere brass band. 1t is a mag
n1ficent orchestral band, more nearly
allied to the great orchestras. the
Theodore Thomas, the Seidl and the
Boston Symphony orchestras in the bril-
liant effects it achieves. The classifi-
cation of instruments, the reeds wood
winds, soft brasses and loud BRASS
by Victor Herbert is like that of the
Dig orchestras. the reeds taking the
parts that strings assume in the lat
ter. The biare and furious noiseness
OF the mere brass band are prohibited
altogether by Herbert, who strives for
the finer effects of orchestral sym-
metry, precision, mellowness, express
sion and beauty rather than for the
effectS of vast noises. Herbert's whole
career has been with the greatest
orchestras of Europe and America as
artist or associate conductor, and no
man living was better qualified to take
Gllmore's famous old organization and
make it one of the greatest in any
capacity in existence.
The soloists who appear Thursday
evening are Nine. Louise Natal. the
noted prfma donna; Victor Herbert

F'rieda Simonson, whose marvellous

A NICE POINT OF LAW
INVOLVED IN A CASE NOW BE-
FORE THE SUPREME COURT.
QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
Crime Committed on n Bridge
Midway Between Minnesota
and Wisconsin.

A case that involves very nice legal
point, is that of the State of Mime
sofa, plaintiff, VS.. Alexander George,
defendant, which was considered by
the supreme court yesterday. The
case is one in which the jurisdiction of
Minnesota courts is questioned, and
was tried by the district judge at Wi
mona. The crime for which George
was tried was committed on the bridge
which crosses the Mississippi river at
Winona into Wisconsin, and the exact
spot is on the bridge at point imme-
diately over little island that belongs
to Wisconsin. The question is whether
the courts of Wisconsin or Minnesota
have jurisdic ton in the case The dis
trict judge ruled that the case was one
for the Wisconsin courts, and the mat
ter is now before the supreme court.
The point is one that has never been
before a court before, although there
are several cases on record where the
courts have ruled that a crime commit
ted on a ferry boat on the Mississippi
river might be tried in the courts of
either state bordering on the river at
the given point. The case was ar
gued and submitted.

JAILED FOR CONTEMPT
KATY ANDERSON IGNORES A
WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
AND FOR THIS GOES TO JAIL
Being Arrested on u Bench War
rnnt-She CIings to the Infant
of Her Dead Friend.

Katy Anderson was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Frank Picha last even
ing on a bench warrant issued by
Judge Brill yesterday. Saturday Supt.
Savage, of the Children's Home So
ciety, swore out writ of habeas cor
puS, requiring Mrs. Anderson to bring
into court yesterday the infant child
of Andrew Nelson, which had been in
her possession ever since the death
of it's mother, some months ago. Mrs
Anderson ignored this order of the
court, presumably not knowing the
consequences, and failed to bring the
child into court yesterday. The bench
warrant was accordingly issued, but
when Deputy Sheriff Picha went to find
Mrs. Anderson she had fled from her
former quarters and could not be To-
Gated.
The deputy worked diligently on the
case all the afternoon, and by follow
ing up a slight clue he finally located
her in the house of friend on Pennsyl-
Van1a avenue, near Mississippi street
10 make sure she was in the house
he peeped in through window before
entering, and saw her sitting inside,
holding the child in her lap. When he
entered and placed her under arrest
she cried and Rugged the little one as
tenderly as though it were her own.
She and the child were taken and
locked up in the county Jail. where
they spent the night She will be ar
ralgned before Judge Brill this morn
ing on charge of contempt of court.
The child is only about year old.
Some time ago the father went to
Supt. Savage and requested him 70
lind home for it. Mr. Savage con-
cluded that the father was not a suit
able person to have control of the lit-
tie one. so he applied to the probate
court and had himself appointed guard
ian Of 1t. But the Anderson woman
made such fuss about turning IL over
that the court advised Mr.. Savage to
let her keep it as long as she took
good care of it. A short time ago Mr.
Savage concluded she was not a proper
person to have charge of the child
one reason was that she was
too poor, he thought. He had other
reasons besides. He amde q de-
mand for possession of the infant. but
the woman refused. This led to the
swearing out of the writ of habeas
corpus.
