REALIZATION OF STARVATION.

The enterprising illustrated periodicals of this country have sent special artists to India and had them take photographs of .-he starving people of that famine stricken land. These pictures can hardly be called living pictures. As we look on the ernaciated bodies of these poor peo- pie our sympathy goes out to them. But when we look al their faces we are sur prised to see an expression of intelligence combined with a look of happiness. The fact is that starvation sharpens the in- tellectual ard aesthetie faculties, and the expression of happiness naturally fol- lows, for the supremest pleasure comes through the intellect The editor Of the Billville Banner once confidentiaEy in- formed us that during the first year of the publication of his paper he was on short rations, yet it was then that he made his reputation as a brilliant writer. He added that his subscribers insisted on paying their subscriptions in vegeta- bles and he became a. vegetarian by force of circumstances. Many of the most sublimated poems in the English language would have been lost to the world if mince pies had grown on black berry bushes.

WASHINGTON, DC, Oct. Is, 1897.
That President Mckinley is in favor
of Gen. Tracy, the only regular can
didate for Mayor of New York City,
is now known to the world, as it was
as it was to your correspondent
when be told your readers that such
was the case. Secretary Bliss had the
support OF President Mckinley when
he wrote that strong letter endorsing
Gen. Tracy aud asking every Repub-
lean TO vote for him, as he has the
support Of the President in going to
New ! Ork for the purpose OF register
ing and aScertaininG ii what way be
can best help Gen. Tracy and the reg
utar Republican ticket, and he viii
have that support in whatever he may
do in the campaign. President Nc
Kinley does n0C intend TO write per
s0ual letter for use in New York, any
more than one for use in OHIO, not be
cause of any lack OF sympathy with
the ReDu biicaus engaged in the cam
naign IN both places, but because he
doesn't think that the President of
the United States should personally
engage in a political campaign, but
he is going to Ohio to cast his vote
for the Republican ticket, and it is 10
secret that he will think more of every
Republican voter in any state who
follows his example. There is moth
ing surprising in all this; it would
have been surprising to those who
know the man, had President McKin-
lev indicated any intention of acting
otherwise.
Nothing but commentator has
been heard Of President Mckinley's
selection of Hon. John A. Kasson, of
Iowa, to be a special Commissioner of
the Z. s., with plenary powers to ne
gotiate reciprocity treaties with other
governments, in accordance with the
provisions of the Dingley tariff act.
Mr.. Kasson served in Congress for
MANY wears, where, as member of
the House, Ways and Means Commit
tee, ne acquired valuable experience,
and his diplomatic career has been
brilliant and enviable. He was first
Minister to Australia, the Minister to
Germany and later .. S. Commissioner
to the Berlin conference, which ar
ragged the present government OF Sa-
moa. The country may rest assured
that bIr. kassOn will see that it's in
taresis are properly taken care of i'll
any reciprocity treaty he negOtiates.
Vaccinations with France have been
under way sometime, and that coun-
try is likely to have the honor of the
first reciprocity treaty under the

q better scheme or many will think
that he has been much overrated IN
the past.
Those who started that story about
President Mckinley intending to stop
the sale of the Union Pacific Railroad
overlooked the fact that the sale was
ordered by a decree of the u. s. Cir
cult Court. The only thing that could
have stopped the sale would have
been an appeal to the U. S. Supreme
Court, and that the Government de
cided sometime ago not to take.

publisher of the Baltimore San would
agree to take the leadership and stop
fighting the German machine, is so
transparent that it has furnished
nothing but amusement for the Repub-

a scheme; he knows as well as Cor

well nigh certain, and he wishes his
paper to share in the credit to bring
about that defeat, this year, just as it
did in the carrying of the state for Nc

:s to the Validity of the
New Law.

Attorney General Childs was yester-
day waited upon by a number of rep
resentatives of the Minneapolis Build
ing and Loan association, which is now
in liquidation, Senator w. E. Johnson
being a member of the delegation.
The subject involved in the hearing
was the constitutionality of chapter
$50 of the general laws Of 1897, which is
Senator Young's bill for the govern
ment of such associations when inSol-
vent or so mismanaged as to be unable
to guarantee to their shareholders
proper treatment.
The chapter in question provides
that, if the state superintendent of
banks and public examiner shall find
that the association is unable to sat
isfy all it's liabilities, he shall notify
the attorney general, who shall notify
the association to discontinue business,
and shall apply to the courts for an
order removing the directors, and ap-
pointing three outsiders to wind up
it's business. If the association is still
solvent. but shows such evidences of
mismanagement on the part of one or
the rights of the shareholders are en-
dangered, then the court, on a similar
application by the attorney general,
may remove such of the delinquents
as it shall select. The expenses of the
liquidation are to be borne by the as
sociation delinquent.
The constitutionality of this law has
been raised and disputed inasuit now III
progress in Minneapolis between inter-
ested parties in these associations, ana
Yesterdays argument before the at
torney general was to place before MN
the facts in the cases, six associations
being involved so that he could deter
mine whether or not to intervene in
behalf of the state, as has been done
in previous settlements of delinquents
in similar lines of business.
The attorney general reserved his
decision. but will announce it at an
early date, as the case comes up before
Judge Elliott in Minneapolis very soon.
Public Examiner Kenyon was also
present at the hearing. He is anxious
that the attorney general intervene in
the case, not as between the parties
to the private suits, but in order thAt
the validity of the law may be prop
erly argued, with view to protecting
the interests of his department, which
depends on the maintenance of the
section, so far as its control OF bullo-
ing and loan associations is concerned.

After listening yesterday to the testi-

her witnesses, Judge Willis granted her
a divorce from William H. r. McMar-

remittances soon ceased and she was
obliged to secure a situation at $40 a
month to care for herself and children.
