The Present Condition of Economic
Science.

L. L. Price in the December Forum.
1t is a commonplace of the political
discussions of the day, that many
questions likely to press for solution In
the coming century will be economic in
character Without indorsing as exact
or adequate such socialistic opinions as
those entertained by Karl Marx and
his disciples, it must be allowed that
the general admission of the working
classes to the electorate has given a
new prominence to the position and
claims of labor Even in the days OF
De Tocqueyilie, competent students OF
society considered that grave danger
to democratic government lay IN the
possibility that classes admitted TO an
equal share of political power might,
as a natural consequence, seek econonn-
lie equality; and no one who now close
~ observes the signs of the times VIII
pronounce such a danger imaginary.
Lately economic science has no doubt
been passing through a period OF tran
sition It's methods of inquiry have
been vigorously tested. lis theories
have been revised in the light Of new
information. Its conclusions nave
been questioned with freedom. and not
always in vain. II has been assailed
from without and within: and lis enc
mics in lis own ranks have been scarce
ly less persistent than lis external foes
But the controversy between the old
and the new, schools Of economists
at one time Waged NTH such nncompfo-
missing hostility. may now be regarded
as closed. and recent attempts to stir the
dying embers into fresh activity have
proved comparatively futile. IL may
be asserted with confidence that what
is true and permanent i'm the new school
| has taken its place with what was solid
| and enduring ia the old. and that. test
| ed by the same broad standard which
would be applied to any cognate study.
| economics now represents as harmont-
| Gus and definite a system Of knowledge
as can be found in any other mental
1 or moral science.

THE DISTRICT COURT.
Some Knotty Questions Argued in the
Burk Case.

some hnotty Questions Argued IN the
Burk Case.
Great Falls, Dec. 9.-The attention of
the district court to-day has been
claimed in the case of John Burk VS..
the Interstate Savings and Loan asso-
citation, which has presented many
knotty legal questions for argument
while the jury was excused. In 1892
Burk was the owner of piece of prop
erty on First avenue South, known as
the Cascade hotel. On this he bor-
rowed $4,000 from the defendants A
portion of this sum was repaid before
Burk moved from the building and
leased it to other parties. About this
time in 1894 Burk executed power
of attorney to the defendants. author
izing them TO collect rents. etc, and
keep up the premiums on $1,000 in
surance policy on the place.
Later the hotel burned to the ground
Soon afterwards Conheim & Co. Sc
cured a Judgment for $75 against Burk,
which they afterwards sold to the de-
PENDANT and under execution the prop
erty was sold, the defendants bidding
1t in. The Interstate company then
collected the insurance money and
accepted deed to the property from
the sheriff The plaintiff now sues for
the property, alleging that the insur-
ance money. rents, etc, collected under
the power of attorney, together with
what he himself paid fully repaid the
money originally borrowed.

An Illinois Man Was Lost In New

ing.

G.. A. Schilling, who was secretary Of
the labor bureau OF Illinois under Governor
Altgeld. and who is nov mining at Gold
Hill, twelve miles northeast Of Lords
burg. N. NJ, had a narrow escape from
death Last Friday morning ne left Speeds
ranch, seven miles from the camp of Gold
Hill. to walk home. He saw a mountain
which he thought was the one overlooking
the camp and climbed II. When he looked
on the other side he could not see the
camp and knew he was lost. He kept on
travelling till dark and then made a fire
and slept by 1T.
Saturday morning he started again, in
the hope OF bringing up at the railroad
track. which he could follow into Lords
burg. About noon he reached a ranch
building, but found it deserted n no
water there. That afternoon he ound a
prickly pear bush with some unripe fruit.
the railroad track. In about three hours
he came to the same bush again. He took
the rest OF the pears and again started
south for the railroad track.
Night came on and he had to camp again
with nothing to eat and nothing to drink.
Sunday morning he got over the range Of
mountains that had separated him from the
railroad track and saw a train in the dis
tance. He was fully twenty miles from the
track. but bravely started for 1t, reaching
there In the afternoon. No train came
burg. After walking about four miles and
being deceived by a mirage he concluded
TO wait till night Several hours after a
man and woman drove along in a wagon.
They gave him food and water and brought
him into town.

in Essex county and lived there. acquiring
a competency. which he enjoyed until,
through reverses, he was compelled to ap-
ply for a pension. basing his claims upon
Injuries received during his term of serv-
ice. His application was rejected because
of informalities. Then it was suggested that
IF he got his captains Endorsement all
would be well, but Hines objected to CIV
ing affidavits unless he could see the man.
So Mcconnell. who had no money, started
10 walk across the continent. 1t took him
over six months to make the journey, but
he arrived all right and secured the papers
he desired. Then his strength collapsed
and he had to go to a hospital.
