SNOBOCRACY.

SYNONYMOUS WITH DIRT-OCRACY.
We have a noble lot of initial tors of
English aristocracy in this country.
The other day we published part of
the record of one Joseph Gilpin Piles,
who was injected, by Plutocracy, to
the Democratic organ, the Globe, with
q hypodermic syringe, like an infusion
of blood-pois oning microbes, and has
made the Democratic party to break
out into continent carbuncles, boils
and ulcers of recommendation, until
now you cannot get six Democrats to
come together unless you promise
them banquet at the Ryan Hotel,
Then you have that admirable gentle
man, H. H. Homes, now in prison in
Philadelphia, who lost his fortune
betting in favor of the Republican
party. and who, losing, tried to recoup
by numbering dozen or so people.
And now we have another of our mon
eyed istocracy who is showing up
the sinking rottenneSS of his class by
a divorce suit at Duluth. Read this,

There are two interesting monuments
In New York. One is Cleopatra's needle,
and one is the statue of Burns in Central
park. The needle is taking off-dis-
solving. Nothing built by slaves and
brought over the sea by thieves can
stand the American climate. But Burns
statue is not taking off. 1t is not dis
solving. The climate of the country of
Abraham Lincoln agrees with Robert
Burns.
But is this the country Of Abraham
Lincoln? Is it not a dependency of the
Rothschild family?
Observe how the breed of poets has
practically died out There is not an
illustrious singer in the whole civilized
world today. The Upas tree of the
usurers overshadows and kills the gentle
flowers of poetry. Independent intel
lectual power is trampled into the mud
under the feet of plutocracy.

PROFITS OF BANKING.

Hon s. S. Marshall, Of Illinois, while
in congress in 1866, thus described that
modern form of brigandage known as the
national banking system:
IAN association of gentlemen In an
Eastern state raised 100000 in currency
Thew went to the office of the treasury
and exchanged their currency for $780,
600 in per cent gold bearing bonds.
They then went to the office Of the comp
troller Of the currency In the same build
ing, organized a national bank, deposited
their $500, 900 in bonds and received for
their bank $270,000 in national currency.
They had let the government have 100000
in currency more than they have received
for banking purposes, and had on deposit
$500 900 on which they received, as inter-
est from the government, $4,000 year
in gold land exempt from taxation). This
was pretty good financiering for these
bankers to receive $4,000 year in gold
on the $50 900 in currency which they had
thus loaned to the government. But this
is not the whole story. They had their
bank made public depository.
"They soon discovered that there was
scarcely ever less than s1,0O0,O0 Of gov
eminent money deposited within their
vaults. They did not like to see this vast
sum lie idle. They, therefore, took 81,
10000 Of this government money and
bought S1,000,000 of five-twenty bonds
with it. In other words they loaned 81,
100000 Of the governments own money to

HOLMES AGAIN.

HE WAS REPUBLICAN AND A FIRST
CLASS BUSINESS MAN.
A telegram from Plattsburg, N, Y,
says that Holmes, the multi-murderer,
was an enthusiastic Republican, and
bet and lost his entire fortune on the
election of the Republican presiden-
tial ticket in 1884. 1t seems he was
also usurer. as appears by the fol-
lowing:
Teri Haute, Ind, July 3O.-It be-
came known today that the case
against Pitzel, one Of Holmes alleged
victims, who was arrested in Terre
Haute in 1893, for attempting to pass
forged check, was dismissed because
Holmes was trying to force Pitzel to
transfer his property to him. After
the arrest of Pitzel, Holmes came here
and secured his release on bond.
Afterwards Holmes threatened to
turn Pitzel over to the authorities un-
less he turned over his house and lot
to him. Following is copy Of a let
ter written by Holmes to Attorney
Wallace of this city who was employed
to defend PitZel; 'Chicago, Dec. 10,
1893, II. III. Wallace want you to
write PitZel a letter at once, stating
to him in the strongest language you
can command. that unless something is
done with his case this week he will
be turned over to the authorities at
Terre Haute. He is not doing what
he ought in regard to transferring his
house and lot as he agreed to. l have
written to Prosecutor Hamel in re-
gard to it and / am determined that
ii he does not secure us this week |
shall take him to Terre Haute and
take up the bond. Yours truly, II.
H. Holmes"
Messrs. Wallace and Hamil made an
investigation which convinced them
that Holmes was trying to rob PitZel
of his property. 1t was agreed that
the case be dismissed and Pitzel was
so advised and urged to hold on to his
property.
In fact it would appear that Holmes
was an all-round, first-class business
man. and old party politician. Nc
foolisness about him. No wheels in
has head. His methods were little
extreme, to be sure, but it was no
doubt his intention, by killing dozen
or two persons, to procure money
enough to start bank, and so become
respectable and prominent member
of society. We have no doubt he be-
lieved in honest mOney-the kind that
makes suicides and murders. If he
had not been caught he would prob
ably have settled in the Red River
Valley and become president of Re-
publican club.
