enormous 1t looks. too. as though L.adville would
soon show the same percentage OF Increase over

treat the low-grade Cripple Creek ores are crowded

ore In their yards and on side tracks. so that they
have declined to receive fresh acc, mutations until
relieved OF their present burden. Leadvllle nrst

claimed by many that II would be a short-iived

between the men who made up both branches OF

parison Is altogether In favor Of the statesmen OF
the earlier period. 1t seems to me that our Sem

The real estate that the company has
acquired, though very valuable, is un-
productive and expensive to keep by
reason of insurance and taxes Since
last July the association has been
obliged to pay $40. 600 on matured Ger
Jdcates. The association, the findings
say, is in disrepute. owing to its known
inability TO make loans and to dispose
Of its real estate. TIC the business were
to be continued in its present state it
would only result in the assets being
exhausted in the payment of expenses
and the stockholders would receive
nothing
The annual income of the association
at present does not exceed $50, 900.
Members are daily fling notices of
withdrawal, SO that more than 100000
of the capital has been posted in this
way, which will require $50. 900 to dis
charge. Some of the members have
placed their claims in the hands of at
torneys for collection and threaten to
bring suit As if to add to the Difficult
ties, there are two vacancies in the
board of directors and the president of
the association has resigned, the office
having been vacant since December 8.
This leaves but three directors to con-
tinue the business and they find them
selves unable to cope with the existing
difficulties.
In the order appointing the receiver,
the court directs that notice be given to
creditors requiring them to file claims
There is the usual function restraining
the officers from concealing or dispos-
ing of the assets and giving the receiver
the necessary authority to continue the
business, so far as may be necessary to
wind up the corporations affairs.

tIon to Be wound Up.
About a year or SO ago a local branch
was established here of the National
Building and Loan association of Mil
waukee. The parent association has
gone to the wall and of course the local
branch must 60 with it. a receiver was
appointed to wind up Its affairs Thurs
day NJ. w. Sherman. secretary of the
association, was appointed the receiver
The two causes which led to the re
Ownership were the inability Of the
company to make loans and the fact
that it is " land poor" possessing re-
atty that is unprodactive, expensive to
hold and for which there is no market
at the present time.
The findings of fact tell the story of
the company and the difficulties it has
had to contend with. It was incorpOr-
ated on May 10, 1887, with capital
stock of So, 900, 600, divided into $4,000
shares of $40 each There is $4,000
of the capital stock outstanding Each
stakeholder in Glass A, upon becoming
member, was required to pay Is
cents monthly for ninety months, with
the privilege of Withdrawing at any
time upon thirty days notice fiat the
end of the ninety months the profits,
after deducting the expenses and
charges, amounted to $780, the value of
the certificate to which each sub
scribed, the association bound itself to
pay that amount upon the certificate
upon preservation for cancellation.
There were several classes of stock,
one calling for the payment Of an in
itiation fee Of So and ninety six month
ly installments of 10 cents, to draw
500
The plaintiff became amember Of the
association in October, 1895, by sub
scrbing to twenty shares of stock. On
January Ii he filed notice of withdraw
al, Ghe withdrawal value of his stock
then being $15681. After the associa-
ton was incorporated it began loaning
money to members, who were
entitled to borrow up to 90 per cent. of
the withdrawal value Of their stock,
with interest al 70 per cent. AS col
lateral security the stock was pledged.
Members were also allowed to borrow
money on real estate, giving first mort
cages as security. Owing to the failure
Of borrowers to pay, it was necessary
for the association to bring suits Of
foreclosure, when, in order to protect
itself, it was obliged to bid the property
in In this way more than $500 900 has
been expended

But what do we behold Tens of
thousands Of persons rush to Washing
ton 60 transfer the siege from Mr Nc
knla home ID Canton to the White
House And not to the White House
alone. Mr.. Mckinley has invited into
his cabinet and put at the head Of the
government departments eight gentle
men who, however able and upright,
are not yet familiar with the great du-
ties imposed upon them They need,
especially at the beginning, time for
arduoas study to master the work they
viii have to perform They too are
besieged day III and day out by the
same countless crowds The president
of the United States is the first sufferer.
He is also the man that can break down
this monstr0us abuse at least for the
time being; but the example once set,
would surely be followed in the future
What the president can DO is to make
known to all concerned, in behalf of
the public interest which it Is his duty
to guard, that no patronage will be
distributed at the White House; that
appointments will be made only when
recommended by the departments
under which the appointees are to
serve; that whoever wishes to apply or
recommend others for appointment to
office must do so in writing and not
otherwise; that when oral advice or
consultation about appointments to
Office is desired, it will be specially in
vited; that removals and appointments
will be made only for the good of the
service and after careful inquiry by the
executive branch of the government it
self; and to facilitate the attainment OF
the end in view, that the $1,000 minor
postof1ices will without delay be put
under proper civil service rules that the
examinations for consular places WIZ
be made competitive, and that as to
other presidential offices, the president,
for the guidance of the executive in
making nominations, will adopt proper
methods for ascertaining the compare
tive fitness of candidates. Carl Schurz

How long will the American people
tolerate the scandals of the spoils car
nival which accompanies every change
of party rule in the national govern
ment? Two of our presidents, both
hailing from Ohio, have already fallen
victims to it-one, the first Harrison,
by harassment; the second Garfield,
by murder. And now it is bounding
another. Let every American citizen
who has the honor and welfare of the
republic at heart watch with care what
is going ON in these days. Ever since
the presidential election last November
Mr. Mckinley has been in a state Of
siege in his home at Canton. Hordes
Of pushing office. seekers pressed around
him from morning till night. His mail
was so burdened with applications for
place that the attempt to acknowledge
the receipt of each of them had to be
given up in despair At last Mr.. Nc
Kinley's health broke down, and his
physicians forced him to deny himself
to the relentless throng. Now Mr.
Mckinley, his health hardly recovered,
goes to Washington to assume the du-
ties Of his high office Problems Of
tremendous magnitude and perplexing
difficulty await him. Since the civil
war there has been no presidential
election involving more momentous is
