will deny, the mortgages on real estate
alone in this state amount to the enor-
nous total of $I54,ooo,ooo, while in 1890
they were only $I32, 900, 900, showing an
increase Of $4,000 900 in nine years. All
the payments, all the foreclosures, all the
evictions, all the wretchedness and hnan-
cial suffering Of the last nine years has
served only to increase our mortgage in
debtedness. During that time we have
had $4,000 foreclosures in the state,
amounting in the aggregate to fifty mil
lions of dollars and still our mortgages
on real estate alone are almost equal to
the entire assessed valuation of the state
Add to this mighty indebtedness, the
chattel mortgages and the unsecured
debts of the people, then add the public
debt of the state the counties, the town
ships, the municipalities, the school dis
tricts and the corporations, and you can
form some faint idea of the financial con-
dition of this great and prosperous COM
monweath. A fair examination of other
states will show about the same state of
affairs, yet the states and the nation are
spending money as they never spent it
before. This money must all be paid
some day, and how it can be paid under
present conditions is a problem great
enough to startle the wise men of the
country The day OF reckoning is surely
4 L -
ayers when that day comes. When the
civil war broke out the country was COM
paratively free from debts, while today
all the property in sight, if sold under
the hammer, would hardly pay its in

Left the Pulpit.

A Famous Catholic Priest Driven Into
Private Life by the Plutocracy
Still the fight goes ON. Read the fol
lowing:
The Rev. Thomas J. Ducey, who has
announced that he is about to retire as
pastor of St. Leo's church, in New York
is one of the most striking figures in the
Catholic church of America. For years
he has been thorn in the flesh of Arch
bishop Corrigan; for years he has been
preaching from his pulpit sermons that
have bordered closely upon the doctrines
of socialism, smiling down upon the small
army of stenographers that, it was report
ed, had been sent to take notes by the
archbishop. Among all the Catholic
priests in the archdiocese of New York
he alone dared to bring topics of the day
and economic questions into his sermons
and he always handled such subjects with
out gloves.
The close friend of DR.. McGlynn, Faith
er Ducey braved the ire of the archbishop
more than once, and when the Lexow
committee was at work he thundered out
his denunciations of the dishonesty of the
public officials. Not only did he preach
reform, but he gave his personal support
to the investigation. Archbishop Corri-
gan announced that the Lexow commit
tee did not meet with his approval and
%1o fo re
sessions.
But day after day the kindly face OF
Father Ducey might be seen at the hear
ing. In fact he was more constant in his
attendance than the members of the COM
mittee themselves, and he left no stone
unturned to aid them in their work. "We
must clean out the whole Augean sta
bles," he said of the police department,
and although it was predicted that he
would meet the fate of his friend, DR..
McGlynn, he has continued his course OF
open warfare against the archbishops, al
ways insisting that he was not afraid that
he would be singled out for punishment
II know my duty as priest of the
church." he says, "and I am willing to
go before the archbishop or the public
on my record"
The socialistic utterances to which
Archbishop Corrigan has taken exception
are many and they range through all
phases of the economic questions, but
Father Ducey has insisted that they are
no more socialistic in their tendency than
are similar utterances from the lips of the
greatest men of the church. and he even
quotes Pope Leo XIII. in support Of his
position.
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1899-04-26

"The world used to believe in the divine
right Of kings Father Ducey said in one
Of his sermons. To-day we have sub
stitute-c -churchianity. Churchianity today
believes not much in kings, but it does
believe in golden rule, the rule Of gold
in the church as we'll as in the state. Il
tries to influence the work of God and
secures the passage of unjust laws-laws
not for good, or freedom. or liberty, but
in the interests OF injustice, oppression
and wrong.
"Churchanity covers wealthy sin with
the mantle Of gold: With churchianity
money is king and the king can do nc
wrong The poor unfortunate criminal
the creature of wretched circumstances is
avoided, despised and ohtcast and the de-
PRAYED, malicious sinner is honored and
received by churchianity and society with
out any show on his part Of repentance.
A man who would dare to speak such
thoughts before congregation largely
composed OF wealthy men and women de-
serves respectful attention and it is not
strange that the archbishop, strongly as
he disapproved of his actions, has re-
Trained from making an example OF him
AS far as the public is aware this clergy
mans disobedience OF orders has been
practically disregarded.
For years Father Ducey has been one
of the most popular men among all class
es of people His congregation has long
been one of the most unique in New
York City, as it has included persons Of
every phase of religious belief and un-
belief, as all have admired the man and
have been fascinated by the eloquence oi
the orator whose mellow voice could tell
such apparent truths in such plain Ian
guage.
Father Ducey is not yet sixty years OF
age and for many years his life has been
an extremely active one. He himself ad-
mits that he has not had time to sleep
more than three hours in each twenty
four, but he says that hs has never felt
weary. Now he is tired, however, and he
feels that he deserves ARREST. 1t is for
this reason that he has withdrawn from
his active duties as the paetor OF St. Leo's
and while those who know him best insist
that idleness is somethi4k foreign to his
nature and that she will sdbn rsturn to the
pulpit he has made SO popular, Father
Ducey himself has nothing to say upon
that subject beyond merry "You must
answer that question yourself" or "You
can ask the man in the NOON"

The Minstrel.

"The minstrel boy to the war has gone;
In the ranks of death you'll find him !;
His fathers sword he has girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him.
Land of song cried the warrior bard,
Though all the world betrays thee,
One sword at least thy right shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee
THE minstrel fell, but the foeman's chain
Could not bring his proud soul under
The harp he loved ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder,
And said, No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and bravery!
Thy songs were made for the pure and
free,
They shall never sound in slavery"

A Promising Mine.

The citizen man was shown some
elegant specimens of ore this morning
from the Grey Eagle group of mines in
Graham county, an adjoining property
to the famous Grand Reef now being
operated by John W. Mackay. Mr..
Ober, of Tucson, is one of the fortunate
owners of this group of six claims, and
was Justly excited this morning when
he received IA communication from the
Deming sampling works, stating that
40ans would be paid for the ore de-
livered at Deming, or 81 .30s at Wilcox.
Ga the claims are four shafts of IA, %,
- and 80 feet respectively. There is a
tunnel of 80 feet which il il intended
will tap the main ore body some 100
feet below the surface, and from which
workings the ore now being prepared
for shipment is extracted. Mr.. Ober
states that the tunnel has been driven
through twenty feet of ore without
having as yet ascertained the dimen-
sions of the deposit.
The mine has been tied up by fake
promoter, but has recently been re-
leased, since which time Mr.. Ober and
his partner, Mr.. higgins, have been
busy developing the property and are
now in position to dictate terms.
They are not looking for purchaser,

work on the ''Cuchan," new boat for
the Colorado River Steam Navigation
Company. The new boat will be 14O
feet long with 81 foot beam, and will
be the lightest draught boat ever
placed on the Colorado river. The
boat was built at the San Pedro ship
yards and knocked down" and shipped
here by rail. II will be ready to launch
within six weeks. The company has
contract for the delivery Of 700 tons of
freight from the Needles to points on
the Upper Colorado. A steel bottom
boat was recently built at the Needles
for this work but failed to have power
enough to stem the current. The new
boat will be one of the handsomest and
speediest little crafts ever placed on
this river. Capt. Mellon will be in
command. AS soon as the Cuchan is
ready for service Capt Polhamus will

pair and retimber 1t throughout, and
at the seventy-five foot level put In
sinking pump, which will raise the
water to that level whence it will find
its way out of the mine on its own legs.
1t is DR.. Fo d : opin OF that another
seventy five feet of depth, making 200
feet from the surface, will prove the
value OF the ores lying below water
level. but he will. il need be, continue
the sinking to 400 feet or more. This
development work will be invaluable
