RETURNING PROSPERITY.
IL IL Coming with y Vengeance to the

Our readers will distinctly remem
Der that for several years past the gol,
people have had prosperity "returnin.

BraGstreets of last week gives us !
fair idea Of the character OF this pros.
perity in its statement of bank failures
During the year 1894 the total mum.

tutions forced into liquidation was 81
and the liabilities were slS.O2S. $50
This was the year following the crash
OF 1898.
In 1888 prosperity rolling toward us
all the time). the failures were 1f9 in
number. and the amount OF liabilities
SO 62i. 0ls-an increase OF about 50
per cent in number and nearly 80 per
cent in the amount involved.
There is prosperity with a vengeance.
It would seem as If trade and fnan-
cial journals like Bradstreets' ought
10 understand that the only way to
bring back permanent prosperity is BY
giving the producer fair prices for what
he has TO sell. Ii cannot be done by
compelling him to part with his product
for less and less money all the time.
Fair prices can only be insured by a
money supply that keeps pace with the
things 10 be bought and sold.
or this fundamental truth Brad
streets seems to have no conception. II
appears to think that prosperity can
ae created by the government borrow
ing gold and loading the people down
with more and more debt in order to
keep certain amount OF a certain kind
n money locked up in the treasury-a
process which not only compels the
government 10 furnish the very gold
which 1t borrows. but actually obligates
i TO pay out more gold than it takes

Messrs. Payne, Cakes and Rouse of
the Northern Pacific Get
$S1 900 Each.

Chicago, Ill, May 14.-The old receiv-
ers of the Northern Pacific railroad will
be able to keep the wolf from the door
for some time. They were discharged
sometime ago, and yesterday the final
act in their receivership was performed
by the granting Of $81, 900 to each of
the three-Thomas F. Cakes, Henry G.
Payne and Henry G. Rouse. The COM
pensation was agreed to by the various
interests in a conference at Milwaukee
several days ago, and this afternoon
Judge jenkins, who appointed them, re-
ceived them and their attorneys in his
chambers in the court of appeals and di-
rected the entry of the order. The order
will be entered at Milwaukee in the
morning. The agreement was for $780,
600 each, or $27O,OOO for the two and
half years service, but Judge Jenkins
thought the amount was too large and
it was cut down to $243, 900, or $81, DOC
each. ~

The old woman was driven out and the
house burned. A posse with bloodhOunds
