and no individual will profit from it." The entire sum- he says, will be used in the campaign, and over $2000 has already been spent in Oregon. The balance will be used in Alabama, Texas and other states where itsis deemed necessary.
 These developments as to the actual cost of the convention has strengthened the conviction that St.. Louis got the worst of the bargain when she paid $10,- 900 for the populist gathering, and there is a general belief that we were bluffed into the big bid, when the convention might have been secured for half the sum. St. Louis first bid was $5O00 Somebody got the story circulated that Indianapolis, Dallas and Milwaukee were active competitors, and that we would have to double our bid. This was done. It. Is now said that Indianapolis offered no cash bonus;s Dallas was but a feeble claimant, and Nfilwaukees offer was very indefinite in Character.
 It will be remembered that one of the arguments advanced by the populist managers was that the silver convention would be held in the same city they se- lected. In other words, that the bid for one convention really included both. It Is now said the populists did not con- tribute a cent towards the expenses of the silver convention, notwithstanding they had surplus of more than half the amount given them
 Local subscriptions toward the ex- penses of the silver convention were $450. Francis G. New1and, temporary chair man of the convention, gave s250 and Will liam P. St. John contributed $200. The entire expense of the gathering reached $4400 The shortage was made up by Charles D. Lane, chairman of the na- tional silver committee, who gave his personal check for $3500. MT. Taubeneck says no demands by the silver party were made on him for any portion of the $1O,- 900 given to the populists. Further than that he says: "The contract between the national committee of the peoples party and the business mems league contained nothing about division of the fund"

reason 70 be gratifed &C the outcome of
the case, which. as revealed by the corre-
spondence on the subject, came nearer
than the public was aware at one time of
leading to an actual severance of diplo-

Waller was guilty OF the offense charged
against him, but resolved itself into a
question as 10 whether our government
had the right 10 insist upon satisfying it,

justice. As the evidence upon which no

Ambassador Eustis our government was
entirely satisfied, though it was inciden-

ToRTIoN UNDER IT.
TO The Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: When the bill was passed April T. 1895. to
provide for the Incorporation by associations for
lending money personal property. II was no
doubt intended to benefit certain respectable poor
class of people. but 1t now stands ii gives the
Shyocks a greater license to make more money
than ever before. Besides IL allows them to do
nawnbroker's business without a pawnbroker's
license which will be great loss to the city OF
New-york. There is a bill before the Legis
lature to compel pawnbrokers TO pay license OF
81 600 a year instead OF $500. formerly charged
Should this become a law onehalf OF the pawn
brokers Will take refuge In the Incorporation bill
There from $50 to lS pawnbrokers In
New-York city alone. This would mean loss OF
revenue to the city of NeN-York of at least $780,,
0D
There are now two such corporations doing bust
ness in Now York City. one Is without doubt
doing n charitable work by charging It's patrons T.
per cent per annum only, but the other one makes
loans for months only. advertises TO charge
SIS for two months on $780, but. should nothing be
done to amend the Incorporation law. as
the Legislature adjourns the one now doing bust
ress on a two months basis will no doubt make
IT'S loans for month only. and incosed tabs
will show Just what the result will be. II Will show
how the Shylocks will take advantage Of the law
that passed to benefit the respectable poor
Such corporations will bleed the people ten tmes
more than ever before. because they are protected
by the law. and VIII not be AFRAID OF ANYTHING
People borrowing will be obliged to pay up their
loans at the end of each month. make a new loan,
if they wish to be further accommodated, and the
charges will be the same for each month. People
unable to pay must either lose their property. or,
II not permitted TO their loans by law. they
Will always find way TO pay up the first loan by
giving note or by friend letting them have the
money for the moment. just SO that the company is
paid. long enough TO make new loan and new
charges.
Please give close attention the inc:osed table
which Will iind quite correct
