BIG LINSEED OIL TRUST
is INVOLVED IN SCANDAL

never to have been perfected. The
Central Trust company is said TO have
some of the stock still in its possession,
and refuses to give it up.
IL is also charged that from that
time the assets of the company were
not administered in good faith and
that the president and directors were
negligent of the interests Of the stock
holders.
In 1898 the absorption Of the Ma
tional company by the American Lin
seed comapny was effected, the amount
of the consideration given for the old
companys property being 4500, 000.
The American company paid the other
concerns debts and took up all its
business. Since that time the Ma
tional company has had an Office in
Chicago while winding up its affairs.
All the old litigation in which the
National Linseed Oil company was in
volved has been settled in the federal
and state courts.
Attorney Martin T. Baldwin, who
filed the latest suit, says arguments
will be presented before Judge Kohl
saat in a few days. He anticipates lit
tie opposition to the appointment Of a
receiver. H. G. Stone, counsel for the
National Linseed Oil company, says
the petition will be resisted.

NO INCREASE In
CITY TAX RATE

According to the statement of James
Kane, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee Of City Council, there will be no
increase in next years tax rate unless
something now unforeseen occurs.
There are sufficient taxes outstand-
ing to pay this years deficit, and as
there is every probability of the money
being collected there is no
probability at this time, that prop
erty holders of the city will be called
upon to lift the city out of the financial
rut it now appears to be in. Mr.. Kane
says he is satisfied that this method
will not have to be resorted to, how
ever much some people desire to see it.

REPUBLICAN TENDENCIES
Judge DeArmond Scores Mckinley's
Administration.

| Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 5.-A Washing
ton special to the Chronicle says
Representative David DeArmond oil
Missouri declared in an interview to-
day that the Mckinley administra
ton has thrown it's whole moral sup.
port and material strength against
liberty and in favor Of despotism
that federal officers refuse TO enforce
the laws against trusts; that the re-
ported alliance between the United
States and England is morally de-
grading to free people, and that
the treasurer recent action in rush
ing to the rescue of Wall Street was
only faint suggestion of the infamy
possible under the currency bill now
pending in the senate.
THE federal administration has
violated tn, essential principles of
free government" Judge DeArmond
continued. The trend of political
thought in the republican party is
from a republic to an empire. from
simplicity to display. from economy
to extravaganza, from a sense of
justice to lust for power. believe
we must return at once to the simple
ways OF the republic and walk in the
paths our fathers trod.
This nation cannot remain one
half republic and one-half empire any
more than it could remain One-half
free and one-half slave. Either it
will continue in essence as we'll as in
name what our forefathers made it
a fepublic-or it will incarnate in es-
sence, if not in name, the spirit of the
empire our fathers pledged their
fortunes and their sacred honor to
overthrow in America The funda-
mental question is: Shall the United
States renounce those principles of
free government which have made
and kept this nation the best and
greatest on earth? The Mckinley
has committed the
party to the affirmative
side OF the question.
Judge DeArmond, in closing,
calls on all democrats and all lovers
of liberty to unite and vote solidly
against the revolutionary policies of
the Mckinley administration
