if it goes one way; the borrower
has none if it goes the other.
Precisely the same thing is true
Of all grades of borrowers and lend
ers the community over. The day
laborer on the farm is not satisfied
to wait until he has saved enough
of his wages to buy a bit of land
for himself. He could do so if he
would. But he believes that he can
quicken the process of achieving in
| dependence by acquiring the land at
once, and giving a mortgage for the
greater part of the purchase price.
The man who has the money to buy
forty acres wants $50. The man who
has money to buy $50 acres wants
$40. In each instance the reaching
out after a larger tiIlage area in
wolves the necessity of hiring more
men, purchasing more stock and
buying expensive machinery Every
such addition promises larger profits:
but requires, also, a larger capital.
Each step, therefore, is accompanied
by the use of credit in the borrow
ing of money on land. It is a dis
tlnct speculation. The farmer might
wait and make his slow progress ac-
cording to the cash system. It would
take a lifetime to build I'D a small
competence in this way. Like his
brother worker of the city, he wants
to get rich faster, and summons the
agencies of credit. If he has series
of exceptionally good seasons, if
everything prospers with him, and
he clears, as has sometimes hap
pened, the entire amount of his in
debtedness within a few years, the
lender finds no fault. The farmer
has made a winning investment, and
all the profits are his. But should
cannot be repaid out of the profits,
then he has made a losing. invest
ment, and must accept the conse-
quences. This it not history of all
loans, but it is of many.
The point of the whole matter is,
and it cannot be too much empha-
sized, that at the time when both
parties are free, the arrangement
between debtor and creditor is a vol
untary one. Such a thing as being
compelled to borrow" except for
the small sums raised by the pledg-
ing of personal property in
time of distress, and on land
in times of crop failure, is
rare. SO when a man reaps
the terrible harvest of unpaid debt,
he must not forget that he planted
the seed. There is no curse equal
to it. Valuable as credit is in de-
veloping the resources of the coun-
try, 1t is a relentless master. The
man who borrows takes a risk which
not only is great, but ought to be
great. If the penalty is stern, it
follows natures laws. Her punish
| ments are sure, and their certainty
ana plUleSSneSS contribute to human
advancement. If men, as a general
rule, were compelled to borrow"
the sense of human justice would
sweep away from our statute books
tomorrow every provision for the en-
forcement Of penalties against the
debtor. He will do a great service
to his country and his kind who
teaches men to abhor debt as they
would drink, or bodily injury, or
any other evil hap that awaits them
in the race Of life. When they so
understand this that none shall Dor
row except those who are really COM
PEELED to, it will be the needy man
and the debtor who holds the cred
itor and the capitalist at his mercy.

THE SCHOOL BuDGET

Much interest is felt in the fate
OF the school budget, which has
passed the assembly and will come
before the board of aldermen this
week. In past years it has been
the custom of the city council to cut
down the estimates of the school
board, on general principles appar-
entity; so that the brunt of the bur-
den of enforced economies has been
borne by our educational interests.
Scarcely any policy could be worse
than this. If there is to be retrench-
ment, as there ought to be. then
the schools should be neither the
first nor the heaviest sufferers. They
have been in the past They have
borne far more than their share of
reductions made. This furnishes a
valid plea for consideration and lib
crafty this year.
The G l b will say plainly that
it believes the expenses of this city
to be too high all along the line. 1t
believes that taxes ought to be, can
be and must be, reduced. This can
happen only through a general low
ering of the amounts of money ex-
pended for public purposes. No one
department should be asked to ac-
cept more than it's share, and none
should be exempt. If we are to go
on upon the old basis, the school
budget as presented by the board is
none too large. That every dollar
asked for can and will be expended
adVantageOuSly in the interest of
public education we are thoroughly
convinced. The only reason for MAX
ing a reduction of these estimates
that could have any force would be
the expressed determination to make
a much larger proportional reduc-
ton in the amount of money levied
for all other expenses. For, as we
have said, the schools have already
oSiASi gu iilOi tiIdil oily OlHST Inter-
est. The whole question of next
years expenditures must soon be
considered. The Globe is pre-
pared to say now that the scale on
which we have been living is too
generous; and to furnish proof that
it ought to come down. But of all
the interests that are within the
scope Of the councils control and
dependent upon its action, our school
expenditures should be regarded
with the most generous Hberality
compatible with that economic ad-
ministration which the taxpayers
are prepared to insist upon.

manners. That a very large personal
advantage to himself was to come
out of the carrying through of his
deal with Hill no one in Wall street
doubts, or that this consideration
completely obscured in his mind the
real interests of the Northern Pa
cific property.
When Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Hill were
forced by their lawyers to admit that
the Minnesota statute and the Mon
tana constitution, with their iron-clad
provisions prohibiting the consolida-
ton of parallel and competing rail-
roads, were obstacles which they could
not surmount in any straightforward
way there was a lively agitation in
the white marble building al the COR

the country. Mr.. Morgan's ATTORNEYS
were called in. So We're Simpson and
Tha tcher, Mr.. Hills regular New York
counsel. So was the astute Mr. Cronl-
well, who had all along said that any
effort to fool with our Northwestern
state statutes would be perilous Mr..
Morgan and Mr.. Hill proposed the
formation Of a proprietary company,
to control both the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern, with Mr.. Hill
at its head. Mr. Cromwell and Col.
Clough thought that this scheme evaG-
ing the laws wot;d be dangerous;
that public sentiment would be ae-
sressively hostile; that The courts
would condemn ii. Mr.. Morgan stated
that if he undertook 10 underwrita
and firancier the proposed proprietary
company he would expect Mr. Hill 20
plank down $13. 900 in cash rs his
share CT the capital Of the company
Nfr. Hill did not relish this PROPOSE

TRUE PHILANTHROPY.
What Chas. II. Iacklcy has Done for
Western Michigan.

What Chas. II. Hackloy has Done for
Western Michigan.
(From Grand Rapids, lfich., Euening Prcss)
The most beautiful spot in all this city is
inseparably associated with the name Of Hack
ley. Chas. II. Hackley has been in the
lumber business here continuously since 1856
and in that time has amassed a fortune which
gives him a rating among the wealthy men
OF the nation. But with wealth there did not
come that tightening Of the purse strings
which is generally q marked characteristic Of
wealthy men.
1t is no wonder then that the name Of
Charles III. Hackloy is known at home and
abroad. His munihcence 70 Muskegon alone
represents an outlay of nearly half a million.
For the past twenty years he has been q com
siar- -lOerer from neuralgia and rheumatism,

noticed that he has seemed 20 grow young

Making Fire a STRANGER.

The test Of the Ganewell auxiliary FIRE
alarm system made yesterday In this city
developed two most Important things
One was that by It's Introduction in our
large factories and business houses the
safety not only Of those buildings but Of
all In the immediate neighborhcod Is
doubly assured, In case OF fire time Is
OF more importance than tons OF water
A few minutes lost in sending IN an
alarm may mean thousands Of dollars
damage to property by both fire and
water. and perhaps the loss ofllfe With
the introduction of the chemical engine
the saving Of time becomes doubly i'm
portAnt. Another advantage is that
with the increased appliances for safety,
the property owners are able to secure
reduced rates OF Insurance These
benefits alone more than counterbalance
the expense OF the boxes.
: The gain BY the test yesterday after
noon was nearly one minute and this
vita the box only few feet from the
building In which the plant is located.
In a majority Of instances. however, the
street bcx is several squares away and
the time consumed much greater. The
first company to arrive at the scene took
Just ] minute and q seconds, or 80
seconds after the box had been opened to
send In an alarm in the regular way.
The minute saved might have sufiiced
10 have gotten even the most threatening
blaze under control.
That the system is valuable one is
shown BY the voluntary endorsements OF
the -bsst known fire fighters in the
country; that 1t is beneficial to property
owners is shown by the reduction made
in insurance rates by the underwrit, rs Of
the principal cities. Alresdy several OF
our most enterprising business men have
put in plants. snd there is no reason TO
doubt that others will follow suit. with
an efficient FIRE department and the
improved alarm system, fire will be
stranger hereafter
