FOUNDED BY A FOUNDING.
don which HAD n Very Ro-
mantle Origin.

Very curious and romantic are the
circumstances under which certain
hourishng city enterprises have been
founded. For instance, says the Lon
don VI. a. F.. there stands in the heart
of Cheapside noble pile of buildings,
occupied by firm whose name is a
household word throughout the king
dom. The founder of that business was
mysteriously dropped on the doorstep
of city church and sent by the au-
thorities to the Founding hospital,
where he was named after the church
in question. He was afterward intrust-
ed to respectable woman, who un-
dertook to bring him up with her own
family.
Soon after this inquiries were made
at the Founding hospital about the boy
by young and beautiful lady, whose
name and rank-she was evidently of
aristocratic origin-remained shroud-
ed in mystery. A solicitor was ulti-
mately instructed to pay the boys fos-
ter-mother q certain sum monthly.
This continued until he arrived at the
age of about IA, when he was taken
away, put to a good school and finally
started in life. Plucl<y and pushing.
he developed his business until it be-
came one Of the finest of its class in
the city. He died a wealthy man, with
out having penetrated the mystery of
his birth.

FINLAND'S STAMPS VANISH.
Amusing Method to which the Stub
born Firms Have ReSorted to
Keep Them Current.

Finland is no longer member of the
international postal union, as by an
imperial Russian ukase the Finnish
postage stamp is withdrawn from use,
and the Russian postage stamp substi-
tuted. While the Finnish postage
stamp until few weeks ago had no
value in the eyes of stamp collectors,
It has now at one jump reached to
the head of the list, and will probably
be the most valuable in the stamp col,
lector's albums. The Firms are of
course furious against Russia for this
additional demonstration of the Bear
to bot their country off the map Of
the world.
But the Firms are by nature stub
born people, and the method they
adopted to still compel the Russian au-
thorities to forward letters with the
Finnish postage stamp is amusing.
Their correspondence they inclosed in
an ordinary envelope. on which they
placed the Finnish postage stamp in
the usual corner. This envelope was
then inc.osed in thin Transparent
envelope, plainly showing the Finnish
stamp. The outside envelope was then
properly addressed and provided with
Russian postage stamp placed by the
side of the Finnish. So far no notice
has been taken by the Russian govern
ment of this amusing method.

THERE was in all probability great
fraud in the Kentucky election which
resulted in the seating of Goebel but
the fraud on the part of the Taylorites
was no less. and the shooting of Goe.
bel, the adjournment of the legislature
by Taylor and the calling out of troops
to prevent the assemblage of the legis-
lature in Frankfort when the seats of
the members were not in dispute. are
acts of coercion. intimidation and mex
cusable violence which the republicans
of Kentucky can never blot from the
memory of candid, liberty-lovine and
aw-ablding people. Goebel may not
have been legally elected. but the crime
OF assaSsinating him and endangeripg
the lives Of his friends is infinitely
greater than seating him by fraud. if
so he was. The popular opinion has
heretofore been that courts have been
instituted for the purpose of correcting
frauds, but in the case of Kentucky it
is done with guns and bayonets, even
in cases where popular opinion is even
ly divided. The republicans have
cleaned themselves uD in Kentucky
through their hot-headed criminal
blunder.

is that he endorses the Nc

William s. Goebel was assassinated
in Frankfort, Kentucky on Tuesday
January 30th. He was shot by an un-
known party while on his way from
the Senate Chamber and fingered until
Saturday evening, February 3rd. Soon
after his assassination on Tuesday, the
legislature of Kentucky declared him
governor and he took the oath of Office
on his bed, and Immediately after his
death on SATURDAY., j. G. w. Beckman
who had been declared lieutenant gov
ernor, by the legislature, took the GU
bernatorial oath, but the republicans
are still holding on with Taylor at the
head and the end is not easily to fore
see. Kentucky has two governors, the
state is under military control with the
militia DIVIDED against itself, the
courts are with the democrats, and al
together it is very complicated as
well as critical situation. More
bloodshed is daily expected.
The assassination and subsequent
death of Gov. Goebel is horrible. and
though Gov. Taylor and his sympathiz-
ers disclaim connection with it, they
are still IN measure responsible, for
permitting armed men to throng the
streets of Frankfort and thus encour-
aging the precipitation of riot
The deed will make Goebel sympa-
OF men who were heretofore
neutral and greatly embitter future cleo
tons in that state. 1t will have a ten
dency to encourage mob violence if any
suspect is arrested and it may require |
a great deal Of time to quiet public |
feeling.
1t was predicted that the Kentucky |
contest would end in bloodshed and the |
prediction has been fulfilled. One of |
the principals has been murdered and |
the state is disgraced.

The Cresset prints statement of
county expenditures to prove some
thing, we presume, but the only thug
iG proves is what we haye been teach
ing it during the past few years. The
Cresset, by Its own figures, shows that
the first year any Popullsts were elect
ed the expenses amounted to $2S, SAG. IL
and when they went practically out of
power they were down to $13, 54O:74.
The Cresset's figures also show that
the first year the republicans regained
power, the expenses were SIG, $50. II
and the second year they were $29, $685.
%. There was some bridge expense
during the last years, but the Cresset
assumes that there was no bridge ex-
pcnse i'll other years, which, of course, is
absurd. But deducting the bridge ex.
pense of '99,we still have an expense of
more than $2l ,000 AS we stated before.
when the Populists first began trans
acting the business of the county. ex-
penses were very great, but they kept
decreasing year after year until the
county was on cash basis and war.
rants were worth par. They lacked
much of being wholly in power or there
would be still better showing. The
only period during which the Populists
can be said to have been wholly in
power was from January '95 to .Janu-
uary '98. The expenses during these
years were SIS 554 SO, 17,727 As, and
Sl3,54O7 "a respectively. Nobody, ex-
cepting, possibly, the editor of the
Cresset, can be so stupid that he can
not see that expenses have been grow
ing less each year under Popullsm and
greater each year under republicanism.
1t has been so eyer since 1891 went the

OF the republicans, by claiming the last
quarters's expense Of the year which is
always allowed in January, as expense
OF the new year. The Cresset's state.
ment clearly shows that the Populists
saved money all along the line but
that the greatest saving was when
they were In complete control. Give
us more figures, Brother Lorton, gar

One reason why national
banks do not take out more
national currency is they can
do so much better in another
way. By depositing bonds
as security the secretary Of
the treasury will deposit with
them government funds. They
thus get the money and pay
nothing for the use of it.
Whereas by taking out ma
tional currency they have
to pay the government one
per cent interest, or tax, as it
is called. On January l of
this year there was the vast
sum of $SO,914,64O deposited
the government in the banks

on that the further sum of
