AS LONG as we have dele
gated powers, that long we
will have corruption and dis
honesty in officials. It is
rarely the case that public
officers remain true to the
people when there are so
many environments. The
temptation is too great and
frail humanity must yield.
The system must be changed;
take the power out Of the
reach of the individual and
restore it to the whole people
where it belongs. When the
people make their own laws
transact their own business
own their institutions, then
and not until then, will they
escape the systematic rob
berry which is now being sc
shamelessly practiced.

making scheme it requires
four years before the people
can even attempt to correct
an evil, and, with a life ten
ure supreme court against
them, they scarcely can cor
rect it at all. Of course, it
would be very wrong for the
people to do their own legis-
lating or to elect their own
officers. That's the theory
handed down from the dark
ages, and the people in this
so-called enlightened day bite
like a starved fish in a lower,

A KANSAS veteran, M. Pembleton,
writing to the Wichita Eagle makes
some very sensible remarks on the wal
question and we take the liberty of
quoting the following short paragraph:
WARS are always the rich mans war
and the poor mans fight. If it were
changed around 80 that the rich men
and the ones that brought on the wars
had to do the fighting you would have
no more wars. But as long as the com.
mon herd submits to let the bosses
pinch their tails to make them fight
like cats, 80 long there will be wars"

IT seems that there is no
use in attempting to put the
masses on an equal footing
with the rich as long as the
courts are a higher power
than the authority which Gre
ated them. Several states,
among which Iowa is the
most recent, have enacted an
inheritance tax law, and the
courts have in every instance
come to the rescue. The
rich man imposes an indirect
tax on his less fortunate
brother and escapes nearly
all, and, in some cases all. of
the burden of taxation him.
self. An income tax Is un-
constitutional, an Inheritance
tax is unconstitutional, to
regulate interest, railroad,
and telegraph rates is uncon-
stitutional, and everything is
unconstitutional except to
pay tribute to the lazy, the
trifling, the vicious and the
filthy by pIundering the in
dustrial forces. If the PEG
pie were not in a Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep they would rise
in their might and make it
unconstitutional" for a few
bloated aristocrats to sit in
judgment over their desti-
MES.

The only ambition in poll

UNCLAIMED BANK BALANCES
They Amount to Nearly Half MIL
lion Dollars in Canadian
Institntions.

1t may seem strange, says the 1oroh-
to Monetary Times, that there is In the
banks of Canada a sum approaching
S4OO, ,OOO-in 1896 Il reached $427, los and
1897 it was S3sT TG6S-consisting of un-
claimed balances. The sums are vari-
Gus, ranging from one cent or frac-
ton of a dollar to thousands of dol
lars. One wonders how many of these
balances arise. We have been told
that many an old man or old woman
will make deposits and not wishing
their relatives TO know of their saw
ings, will say nothing about the fact.
Should such old persons die the only
way in which this deposit could prob
ably become known would be through
the list of such sums published annual
". Again, there are numbers of per-
sons who, having long had an account
with bank, will draw all their money
except one or two dollars. This helps
to account for many a small sum.
Naturally, the older banks have the
larger accumulation of unclaimed
money in this or other ways. The
Bank of Montreal and the British
bank have large sums but the city dis
trict savings bank exceeds either of
them, having neJrly 1900 separate un-
claimed balances, the aggregate of
which is over $4,000. 1t is only of late
years that the government Of Canada
has busted Itself in taking custody Of
these funds. Not. presumably, that
they were unsafe i'm the hands Of the
banks, but perhaps fhat 1t was pa
ternal duty Of the state 10 control

the inevitable happened, and a little

in amazement. She had expected a

her maternal duties. Everything was
all right as long as the chick remained
In the nest, but as soon as it got out
o1 the ground there was trouble. Oc-
casionally the mother, remember ring
that she was a pigeon, would get up
and fly, thinking the youngster would
follow her, but he remained on the
ground as hard and fast as though he
was anchored there. The only thing
he could do was to stand still, watch
Lis mother fly and yell for her in his
own peculiar way. Then he tried to
initiate her, but up TO now his best
effort has been a six-inch jump, flap

mother is pcrsevering. but she is near

TRUE CHIVALRY.

The war with Mexico is a part OF

That frowniug fortress was the Glb-
raltar Of Mexico. Its massive walls
seemed imprcgnab'e. But American
daring halted at no obstacles, and an
intrepid band Of volunteers was chosen
to scale and assault it says the Chi

the first, to scale the wall, and, sword
in hand, dashed along that storm
swept rampant in advance Of all his
fellows TO cut down the waving nag
of the enemy and reap the immortality
of the deed. He was the first to reach
the flag; his sword was raised, when
he heard swift footsteps behind him.

In the history of battles there was
never a more gallant, more chivalric
