RIDICULOUS NATIONAL FINANCE.

Capt. Geo. w. Lloyd, of New Rochelle, N.
Y, sends us the following clipping from the
New York Herald. Captain Lloyd remarks:
"It is what Peter Cooper said when he ran for
president; also, General Weaver and Streeter,
and last, but not least, William Jennng
BRYAN" Here's what the Herald says:
"More than twenty millions of dollars, under
Secretary Shaw's order, mas been paid at the
sub.treasury thus far IN redemption of bonds
having face value of less than fifteen millions.
eWhen one recalls the very small premiums
at which these bonds were sold by the treasury,
and notes the high premiums at which they are
being redeemed, ne is impressed with convio-
ton of the ridiculous manner in which the ma
tional finances are conducted.
''Money is taken from the people in the
form of needless taxes and heaped in the teas
ury until its removal from the channels of
trade becomes distressing. Then much Of it is
distributed on deposit among favored banks
that get the use of it without interest, and
when this device proves inadequate, large sun S
are spent in paying these absurdly-high prices
for bonds, to the profit of the bankers and cap
italsts who hold them.
''And this has gone on uncorrected for almost
a generation!'

If the workers grasped tile principles of
Socialism as fast as the capitalists, it would all
be over but celebrating the event. The only
trouble with the capitalists Socialism is, they

WE believe one of the most important things
to get clearly before the people is the fact that
they have no power in government. As long
as they keep hugging to their hearts the sweet
delusion that they are the sovereign rulers of
the land, they will not make any very vigorous
efforts to secure that which they think they
already possess. National New Era.

IT WAS REPUBLICAN DAY.

The election of 1909 is over and the Repub'
licans have elected their state ticket, ana the
indications are that they have secured small
II ajority in the lower house OF the Legislature.
Probably they have elected every member OF
congress. As to majorities, in most cases, they
were reduced-they will not r'ach the figures
claimed by the Republicans.
Nationally, the number of Republicans IN
congress has been reduced, but that party still
has control of both houses, wb.ch is well-we
are glad of it. Had the OPP osition secured
control of the lower house, any lack of legisla-
ton in the interests of the people would have
been laid at their door. AS it is-with every
branch of the national gov Inment in the
hands of the Republcans-they alone must
bear the blame for any lack Of legislation for
the people We sincerely believe that the peo-
pie of the nation will be anxious for change
by the time the next national election rolls
around. We predict that in 1904, the Repub-
lican national convention will declare unequiv-
ocally for the trusts.
In Kansas, party lines were not as tightly
drawn as they usually are. There was great
deal of independent voting Republicans voted
for Populists and Democrats, and Populists
and Democrats voted for Republicans. Many
voters staid at home. There was no enthusi
asm on either sine. Political letlargy prevailed.
In some instances, Populists voted for Repub-
licans as a rebuke to fusion. Many Democrats
knitted Populists because they hate Populism.
II is stated, too, that about $4,000 defective

The board of commissioners is now in session,

The defeat of some of our county candidates
was accomplished through spite-Democrats
and Populists voted for Republicans ito get
even." They will rue it later.
Again referring to state matters: The Re-
publicans had the brewers behind them, and
rivers of beer and thousands of dollars were
poured into the state to defeat the fusion ticket.
The Republican candidate for governor was
notorious whiskyite. Every leading Repub-
lican in the state knew it. The temperance
Republicans fought Bailey before and during
the convention, with Gen. ]. K Hudson and
several preachers leading the fight. But the
whisky crowd wen out, and Hudson and the
preachers joined the crowd and whooped 'er up
for the ticket. Nearly every candidate on the
state ticket was the friend of tie whisky inter-
ests, and the Republicans of tie state we've not
ignorant of the fact. But, the good temper
ance and "Christian" Republicans swallowed
the dose without a grimace.
However, the battle is over, and we must ac-
cept the outcome. We are not cast down over
the result A principle never dies. Right is
bound to triumph.

GIVER OF MILLIONS.
So Modest That His Fame Has
Never Gone Abroad.
William behring's Benefcence Has
Been Extensive and Soon He May
Give Another Million to North
western University.

Reports that William Deering, the
well-known harvester manufacturer
of Chicago, has in contemplation gift
of $1,000,000 to Northwestern uni
versity, bring to light the fact that
while this philanthropist has continu-
ously for 20 years given thousands of
dollars to educational institutions,
churches and charities his benefcence
practically has been kept secret.
While he can hardly be placed be-
side Rockefeller in the total sums he
has given, it is known that he has given
away fortunes. Small, struggling col
leges or churches, particularly of the
Methodist denomination, for Mr.. Deer
ing always has been warm supporter
of the Methodist church and its institu-
tions, have been helped by him when
confronted with debts or mortgages
without the fact being flashed over the
wire and becoming public through the
newspapers.
Some time ago Mr.. Deering heard
that his native town in Maine would
like to have library. He Immediately
wrote out a check sufficient to pur-
chase one and maintain it without put
ting any obligations on the city.
Garrett Biblical institute, affiliated
with Northwestern university, has
been the recipient at various times of
Mr.. behring's generosity. He has been
president of the board of trustees of
the institute and also held the same
position on the university board. At
one time he gave $1,000 to a seminary
at Omarga, Ill. He endowed and built
Fisk hall, which is occupied by the pre-
paratory school at the university and
built Willard hall, the girls dormitory
at Evanston, where the university is
located.
He has regularly given from $4,000
to $1,000 to the city missionary and

church extension societies in Chicago
to support evangelistic work. He has
given $150,OOO to Wesley hospital, in
Chicago, to erect a new building and
make it a first-class medical institu-
ton. The hospital also is Methodist
institution. Northwestern university
has received many times valuable land
from Mr. Deering, which Melted hand
some return. The sums of money to
Northwestern university range from
$4,000 to 100000 all given since the
institution was founded. There are
many other gifts that would make
long list.
Mr. Deering is the oldest and wealth
lest friend of the university and the
announcement that there will be do
nation of $1,000,000 for endowment
does not cause much surprise. Ac-
cording to information the gift is to be
presented as soon as President James,
who recently left the University of
Chicago to assume management at
Evanston, is found to meet Mr.. Deer
ing's approval, after reasonable time,
from the viewpoint of the institutions
welfare. The period of probation will
not be long. as the manner in which
President James grasped the situation
as he found it has gone far to convince
friends of the university that its future
is safe with him.
Negotiations under way for the af-
filiation of Hedding college at Abing-
ton, H., with the Northwestern, are
taken as an indication of the policy of
expansion the institution is to pursue
under the presidency of DR.. James.
For some time Mr.. Deering has been
in poor health. Recently he trans
ferred to his sons his interest in the
immense harvesting machine plant,
and the real estate on which it stands,
with the expressed intention of with
drawing from active business cares.

governor of Arizona territory, was
graduated from West Point in 1870,
and promoted to a second lieuten-

frontier duty up TO 1877, when he re-
signed from the service. In 1871 he
was especially commended for gal

The great question, after all, is this:
Shall we judge man by God, or
God by man? Does light and I'M
Outstanding flow upward or down
ward? It we judge man by God,
at once we have true and dis
eliminating thoughts of human life
We have absolute standards. We have
test of the worth of all we see or
do. But if we judge God by man we
only have over again what the world
has been so full of-the persuasions
of self-interest, the disbelief in abso-
lutte righteousness, the changing stand
ards of the changing times. Men have
gone into the sanctuary of their own
selfishness, the sanctuary of them
selves, and straightway they have
seemed to see an end of God. All sense
of supreme and awful Fatherhood on
which all men depended, to which all
action must go back foFjudgment, has
been lost. No higher power than the
human has seemed to be moving under
and giving meaning to the events of or
binary life.-Phillips Brooks.

to the new ruler. Thus, while the
ministry, consisting of the leaders of
the political party in power resigns
being Immediately reappointed-no
election for members of the house of
commons is called, and the business of
the country is not interrupted.
At the first meeting of the privy
council the new sovereign chooses the
| title by which he or she shall be known,
and takes the oath of allegiance be-
fore receiving those of his or her coun-
cilors. This royal oath practically is
a promise to rule according to the let
ter and spirit of the constitution and
an Acknowledgement of fidelity to the
Protestant form of the Christian re-
igion.
In these days it is followed by a
promise to maintain in its privileges
the church of Scotland, where form
of the Presby terrain faith, and not the
Episcopal denomination, is ''the
church by law established"
The formal proclamation of the new
king is worded by the members of the
privy council, who, with one voice and
consent of tongue and heart, declare
and proclaimi the high and mighty
prince, etc. This proclamation is
given to the earl marshal, the chief of
the herald's college, for promulga-
ton.
In London the medieval custom of
proclaiming the accession not only in
such public places as Trafalgar square
and the Royal Exchange but also
within the limits of ''the city" proper
(the peculiar domain of the lord may
orr is maintained.
On the occasion of the ascension of
King Edward VII. the delegation from
the herald's college consisted of three
kings at arms, four heralds and eight
pursuivants, dressedin magnificent cos
tunes. These, accompanied by de-
tachment of the royal horse guards,
marched to Temple Bar and formally
demanded admission within the pre-
cincts of the city.
The barrier, consisting of a silken
rope in place of the ancient gate, was
removed and the contingent was met
by one almost as brilliant, consisting
of the city marshal, the city remem-
brancer, mace bearers, trumpeters,
ETC., who conducted the visitors to
where the lord mayor and sheriffs, in
full robes, awaited them in their state
carriages. The proclamation was read
and the city officials replied that they
also, "wiss one voice and consent of
tongue" pledged their allegiance.
