Secretary Gage may speak lightly
of his having loaned national banks
millions of the peoples money, which
they are proitably using without pay
ing the government a cent, but the
people are not disposed to regard it
that way. There is no good reason
the United States Treasury being a
partner of the national banks, ven if
it were to receive its share of the
profits but the Mckinley administra-
ton appears to have acquired the
habit of doing things for which no
good reason can be found.

solutely new registration in order to
qualify voters for participating in the
general State election to be held next
April. The case vas appealed to the
Supreme Court and a motion will be
made to have it advanced upon the
docket so that as little time as posi-
Bile will be lost in case the higher
court should affirm the decision OF
Judge Brunot's Court. The result
