the only reason that the Emperor of
Germany, who Is generally 80 sensitive
to criticism, remained apparently calm
In the face OF the attacks of the Eng

favor. The Figaro adds: France will
not depart from the position which has
made her alone the silent arbitsr of The
peace of the world. She will not inter-

Xrussee Hubbs' Startling Financial Ospers
in an Indiana Township.

-o"hoiAps
CHICAGO, Jan. ia special from
Indianapolis says for several days pas,
the commissioners OF Perry county have
been examining the accounts OF Trustee
Hubbs OF Troy township and the affsir
has created a sensation as Hubbs was q
prominent politician of Southern
Indiana.
When he presented vouchers to the
commissioners showing the amount of
money expended to be largely in excess
OF any of his predecestors, SUSPICION
was aroused and as the facts became
known the people demanded an inquiry.
The commissioners o%verhauled his
accounts and summoned the men, more
than . hundred in number, whose names
were signed to the receipts for the pur-
pose of verifying them. Not one in ten
summoned had obtained the money and
those who had swore that the vouchers
has been raised four or Ave times the
amount for which the receipt Was given.
A shortage OF nearly $40, 600 was dis
covered and the SUN promises to be
much larger as all Hubba' transactions
are to be investigated. 1t is said that
Hubbs has left town.

Tho Manchester Guardian, comment
ing on the British naval preparations,
says that considerable credence ia at
tached to the story that the flying
squadron which is to assemble at Port

1t 10 felt that the crisis Is by no mear 9
over. snd 1t Ia held by them that the
Punishment and Introduction placs d

This feeling grows out of the Johannes

are out for the arrest of over 400 per-
sons, all leading men in the mines and

change and of the professional element.
1t was added that among those arrested

tanned in the 6,oO0 building and loan
associations in this country, having
1900. COO shareholders, there are about
100000 debtors to 1,5s0,000 creditors,
or more than seven creditors to one

Free coinage at sixteen to one would
undoubtedly help the debtors. ltwould
enable them to settle their obligations
to their fellow members at so cents on
the dollar. But are the 100000 credit
ors all bloated bondholders whom 1T
would not wrong to legislate out OF
their property in this way? And are
the 100000 borrowers all poor and de-
pressed by heavy mortgages atusurious
interest? Not much! The debtors are
usually worth more than the creditors
will the seven creditors, out OF sym
patty for the one poor debtor. this year
vote 10 cancel one-half of his debt? Not
if they know on which side their bread
is buttered.
The whole free coinage superstition
is Ia delusion. There are far more credit

NAV appear, the creditors are compare

soil. for Poultry.

A sandy, dry soil is best for poAltry,
Is such soils, if very porous, WI be
cleaned by the rains carrying down
the filth into the soil, and because
there is less mud and dampness in
winter. Nearly all of the large duck
farms are on sandy soils, and as the
use of such soils for the raising OF
poultry is profitable, there should be
an opportunity for those who have
farms composed of light soils that can
not be made to pay otherwise, to de-
vote them to poultry, especially IT near
markets can be conviently reached. :
