To Temporarily Drop the Proceeding.


The habeas corpus proceedings insti-
tutod Saturday afternoon and by which
George Loney was temporarily removed
from the Delaware Hospital for the In
sane, will be disposed Of before Judge
Spruanoe this afternoon. This morning
DR.. William H. Hancker. Superintendent
of the institution, produced Mr. Loney be.
fore the court, but as the physician had
not brought over with him the papers OH
which the patient was committed, Judge
Spruance held that he could not consider
the case until q time when the papers
were on hand. This time twas fixed at
2 o'clock.
Mcssrs Hartman and Knowles who re-
present Mr.. Loney will ut that time quash
the proceeding and allow Mr., Lonoy to re-
turn to the institution. Within several
days, Lilburne C. Chandler, who appears
for the children Of Mr. Loney, will ask for
the appointment of trustee to look after
Mr.. Loneys pr operty and not until that
time have Messrs. Hartman and Knowles o
chance to have the patient sanity passed
upon by jury. To go into an examina.
tion immediately, would only result in
the re-oommittal of Mr.. Loney, as DrB.
Pyle and Chandler, on whose certificate
the man was sent to the institution, would
support their certificate.
The case Is one that is particularly sd d.
Mr.. Loney Is about 60 years of age and since
the dea' h OF his wife, year ago, no has
been somewhat eccentric, but neighbors
say .he is far from being insane. Mr. Lon
ey lived with his daughters at No. SEQ
Franklin street and upon several OCCASIONS
1t is sai1 they attempted to have him ad-
judged insane but tho physicians refused
to grant the certificate; as Loney Is with
out relatives, excepting his daughters who
live lin his property, his friends who filed
the Levy Court room this morning, have
interested themselves in his behalf.

Cincinnati Enquirer: 1t is asserted
by money lenders that: there is a
plethora OF money and currency. In
proof OF their claim they refer US to
the high price OF interest-bearing
stocks. When two millions Of 5 per
cent bonds were advertised for sale
by a reliable company bids amount
ing to $50,000,000 were made at
los. This, according to the logic of
Wall street, is proof conclusive that
idle money is abundant. 1t proves
no such thing. On the contrary, it
is evidence. that there is small de-
mand for money in the regular busi-
ness pursuits. Persons having un-
employed capital are anxious to
haye it breed them some interest.
They are afraid to investit in business
because OF the uncertainty OF a re.
turn OF the principal and a small
interest.
If loaned on real estate the security
offered must be three or four times
as much as the present appraised
value. 1t will not be risked in the
business OF manufact uring because
of the constant q shrinking of valnes.
If every wheel was in motion and
life and energy were manifest in the
departments of productive industry
there would be no money to be had
at two or three per cent interest.
Mechanics, artisans, skilled and COM
mon laborers would be sought after
instead of tramping to find employ
ment. An abundance of money to
loan at low interest signifies non
employment and distress. No busi-
ness panic ever occurs when there
is an abundant and gradually in
creasing volume OF money. .

THE COAL COMBINE.
Protected by Dingley, 1t Levies Tribute
q .# ON the People. =: g.

In expanding and strengthening it's
organization the coal combine is simply
com pleting the work begun last sum
mer. When it bought higher rate Of
duty under the Dingley tariff, the trust
companies had on their hands large con-
tracts made before prices were raised.
These contracts they nullified by caus-
ing strike among the starving en-
ployees.
Now the companies are free of con-
tracts to supply coal at honest prices.
They have assurances also that no for
eign company can come in if they put
their new prices too high. Consequent
ly they have improved their organiza-
tion and extended it's sway.
The object Of the trust is to reduce ex-
penses in mining and shipping and to
increase prices. The workingmen, al
ready sorely oppressed by the compa-
MES and robbed through the ''stores, -
will be still further mulcted in order
that expenses may be reduced.
Meanwhile coal will go steadily up.
Prices will be demanded which could

given the combine by the Dingley tar
iff The companies will make enormous
profits, which must come from the
| pockets Of those who use coal or the
products in the manufacture of which
coal is employed.
| The government has an antitrust law
which ought to be put in force against
such trusts, but there is no danger that

paign debts in prohibitive duties will

self is much more than a personal tri-
umph, and really indicates the growing
strength Of that great force which is to
sweep the country in 1900.
When the agents of the money pow
er, assured Of the allegiance Of the Re-
publican party, undertook to hamstring
| the Democracy as we'll, they made an
effort to control Virginia which was
deep laid and we'll planned, says the
Atlanta Constitution. 1t is unnecessary
| here to recall the influences which were
| brought to bear to make Virginia fol-
low in the wake Of Maryland, except to
state that even after the national Dem
| ocracy had spoken the enemies Of the
! party were strong enough to command
the allegiance Of the governor of Vir-
! ginia and to threaten disruption in that
! state.
Foremost among those who resisted
! the Establishments Of patronage and the
! seductive offers Of those who were in a
position to control political leaders
stood Senator Daniel. He led the fight
for the people through the perilous days
leading up to the campaign Of 1896,
standing firm upon the Chicago plat
form, and declared for Democracy pure
and simple, without adulteration and
without offensive alliance.
His denomination to represent Vir-
ginia in the United States senate is the
signal that the men who led in Chicago
are now the undisputed leaders of an
aggressive and determined party which
intends neither to be balked in it's pur-
pose nor led aside from the road upon
which it has entered.

from New Ulm, and if he is nomi-
mated and by the same class OF ring
sters that nominated. Clough, his
ignominious defeat is a foregone
conclusion, if John Lind is in the
field, as he will be ii he is alive. Men
who need help to be successful in
their. legislative ambitions may
shout for Van SAINT now, SO that the
Van SAINT barrel will be open to them,
but among the masses in this section
the Winona man is simply a far of
illusion, while the personality OF
John Lind is a vivid and inspiring
one. John Lind achieved fame as a
statesman while Van SAINT was fig.
uring on steamboat freights, and
was eminent in the state long before
Van SAINT came TO the political sur
face. II the republicans had sense.
they wouldn't select Van SAINT, whose
sole claim is that he once wore the
blue-an honor in ltself-but it
should not be a mans only passport
to political preferment.

The Transcript is SO sure that
Morrison county is republican, that
it fails to mention that in 1896 Nor
rison county was carried by Chas. A.
Towne, silver candidate for congress-;
that Morrison county in the same
year was carried by John Lind, silver
candidate for governor, and that if
the votes cast by mistake for both
the Bryan and Palmer electors had
been counted, as they we're in MUIR
ray county (because the voters in
tent was clear), Morrison county
would have been carried by William
J. Bryan, silver candidate for presi.
dent. These three Offices were the
most important ones voted on, and
Morrison county went right on two
of the three, and would have gone
right on all three but for the unin-
tentionaf mistakes of number of
voters. No one can dispute these
facts, because they are evident in the
election returns. The vote for
county Offices is hardly a fair indica-
tion of political sentiment. !, In the
election Of 1894, the republicans
carried the county by heavy major
tiles for state and congressional
candidates. In two years those
maiorities were either cut down or
swept away. So that tits with hope
and confidence t the silver men

DESPERATE EARNESTNESS
OF G0ldites in Promotion of Their
IniQuitOua Scheme.


n. 81. Hanna chairman of the Indian
apolis monetary organization, self
constituted guardian of ''sound
money" interests, is flooding the coun-
try with circular letters in behalf of
the plan Of monetary legislation to be
recommended by the commission ap-
pointed by the Indianapolis goldite
convention. He urges those receiving
the circular to write to- their senators
and representatives In congress in ap-
Proval Of this plan, which will be prom
Nlgated this week at meeting Of
khe organization in Indianapolis.
Hanna declares in this circular that
IAN heroic effort IL being made to
eliminate the money question 4r6nm
politics and establish sound and sta
BILE system In the interests of the pee-
PIE" The proposition to eliminate the
money question from politics is as alb
surd as the idea that the goldite
clique represented by Hanna have any
thing In common with, the masses Of
the people. What these, goldites want
II to establish q system of money
through which the money power can
exact greater tribute from the people
than they can under the existing sys-
tenn: What they want is to fix the
gold standard irrevocably upon tho
country. In this they will fail. They
will not receive the aid and comfort
from the plain business men of the
country which they are soliciting
through Mr.. Hanna's circular. Copies
OF this circular letter addressed to "in.
surance men" were received i'm this
city last week, and some of the recipi-
ents were indignant at the assurances
displayed by Hanna in thinking that
they would use their influence in be-
half Of the scheme Of the self-consti-
tuted organization he represents.
These letters show, however, how des-
perately in earnest the goldites are,
and how they are pulling all tho
strings IN their power to carry ont
