A statement to the effect that Mr..
C.F. Duncembe, of Fort Dodge, favors
the nomination Of David B. Hill for
the presidency, by the next democrat
ic national convention. is being en-
tensively commented upon by news
papers of the State. Mr.. Duncombe
may be an enthusiastic Hill man, for
there are many enthusiastic admirers
of the little New York ex-senator in
the democratic party, but it is reason
ably safe to say that Mr.. Hill will
never be the democratic nominee for
president. When he disregarded the
wishes of his party, aud did more than
any other one man in the country to
defeat the income tax. he burned the
bridge between himsclfand the White
House. Time may work great changes
and before the next national conven-
ton is held new issues, and unknown,
or comparatively unknown men may
forge to the front; but in our judg-
ment, if a national democratic con-
I.vention were to be held tomorrow,
it would nominate Richard Olney for
president and c. y. Towne for vice
president Manchester d, mocrat.

PEOPLE OF NOTE.

Among the go members of the new
house of commons two are above so
years of age.
Lord Brougham commonly spent
three or four weeks in study before
writing great speech.
Mr.. Andrew ID. White, the United
States ambassador at Berlin, has been
elected member of the Berlin Acad-
envy of Science.
The car of Russia makes it a rule
to spend at least three hours every
day with his children, to whom he is
deeply attached.
Lord Salisbury is collector of his
toric relics, and his house at Hatfield
is full of the results of his researches.
He owns among these the cradle in
which Queen Elizabeth was rocked as
a baby.

Twas Ever Thus.

This week the Milwaukee Sentinel,
the leading republican paper of Wis
coonsin, passed to the proprie torship
OF Chas. Z. Ptister, Henry @. Payne
and Frank II. Bigelow a coterie of
gentlemen who also own or at least
control the Milwaukee Journal, the
leading goldbug democratic paper of
the state. 1t is very similar posit-
ion to that of twenty years ago, when
Jay Gould owned both the New York
Tribune and the New York World,
the leading republican and democratic
papers Of the country. Is it necessary
to comment on this state of affairs?
But what fools the voters must be,
who allow themselves to be bambooz-
led in that way.-National Advance,

Few stories move the reader moro
powerfully to pity and to indignation
than those of the
rapacious m o n ey
lenders and their
victims, which figure SO often in the
newspapers. Take a case that lately
came to light in New York, says
Youths Companion. A salesman in a
dry goods store borrowed $50, assigned
his salary as security, and agreed to
pay interest at the rate of ten per cent.
a month. For year and a half he
shoveled his money into this bottomless
pit. At the end of that time he had
paid $3.50 in interest, and YET the prin-
cipal still stood against him as large as
ever. and he was no nearer to getting
free of has debt than at the beginning.
During all the time, too, he had been
terrified by the knowledge that fail
ure to meet the interest promptly
would be the signal for his creditor to
grab his salary, and that in turn would
mean discharge. AT last, in despera-
ton, the young man did what he ought
to have done long before. He laid the
case before trustworthy lawyer. who
gave the loan agency its choice of sign
ing receipt in full or fighting the mat
ter in court. The receipt was signed
without remonstrance or argument. 1t
isoften said that anyone who will agree
to pay usurious rates of interest de-
serves no sympathy. 1t is not always
true. Great folly in matters of this sort
| is often born of great need, and any Of
| fer is welcomed which promises present
relief. In Chicago where the loan
sharks have been peculiarly op-
pressive, a number of business firms
have established fund from which
their employees who are in need can bor-
| row at low rates. 1t is admitted that
employees dislike to expose their finan-
cial difficulties to their employers, but
1T is really better for both parties that
the facts be known, particularly when,
as in this case, it is promised that no
one whose need is legitimate shall find
his standing impaired by asking assist
ance. If a man still seeks the loan
sharks, the inference that his debt is
something he is ashamed of will be
, natural, and he will receive little sym.
