Financial institutions Controlled BY
John r. Walsh Close Doors.
Chicago, Dec. 19.-Three of the lar
gest financial institutions in the west
the Chicago National bank, the Home
Savings bank and the Equitable Trust
company -all of them controlled by
John r. Walsh OF Chicago and In great
measure owned by him. suspended OPP
erations. Their affairs will be liquidat-
ed as rapidly as possible, and they will
60 out Of business.
Mr.. Walsh, who was the president Of
the Chicago National bank and of the
Equitable Trust company, and all the
other officers and all the directors of
the Chicago National bank have resign
ed, National Bank Examiner @. R..
Bosworth has succeeded Mr.. Walsh at
the head Of the Chicago National bank,
and the places of the directors have
been filed by men appointed by the

Back of the new management stand
the allied banks Of Chicago, which
have pledged their resources that every
depositor shall be paid to the last cent
and that no customer Of any one OF the
three institutions shall lose anything by
reason Of the suspension. This action
prevented a disastrous financial panic.
The immediate cause Of the collapse
Of the institutions controlled by Walsh
IL said to be the large amount Of money
which they have lent to various private
enterprises of his, notably the Southern
Indiana railway and the Bedford Quar-
ries company Of Indiana. Mr.. Walsh
says that IL he could have had a little
more time and been left untrammeIed
In bis operations he could have saved
his banks and made enormous profits
for himself and his associates.
The liabilities Of the three institu-
lions are estimated In the aggregate at
$26000,000. which may be covered BY
the securities and private property
turned over by MI Walsh and the

Six Months Treatment by Specialists.

CONSOLIDATING ELECTIONS.
From the Newark Sunday Can. ]


BIZ law passed last week under the
party whip, the right to separate local
ships Of this State, except in the choice of
school boards They are hereafter to vote
at the general election, as in the cities,
being compelled to consider their local
questions at the same time they are dealing
with those Of national, State and county
interest The object of this measure is to
give the party in power the influence which
comes from large and wealthy organic
alton, when it is focused at one time. in
one mass, to accomplish a single result.
By using the funds and the discipline of
party in this concentrated way, it is antici-
pated that all the elections may be carried
for the party, rather than for the indvid-
ual candidate. and that local political ma
chimes may thus be built up, sustaining the
general organization aud effectaally repress-
ing independence Of political opinion in all
branches OF government, so that nothing
short of political revolution throughout
the state would unseat the men in power.
Ostensibly, the Republican party's interest
Is sought; in fact, the men who are in con-
troll OF the party organization are the bene-
iciaries. They name the candidate, define
the issues, control the officers when elected.
divide the SPOTS TO their own profit and
perpetuate their own power by regulating
the choice of committee members. Thus a
perfect machine is created aud sustained
perpetually requiring large organization
and extraordinary effort to combat it even
when the minority party is incorruptible
and courageous.
1t Is unnecessary to state that such ma
chine is essentially inimcal to the public
interests, calculated to make the officers of
the law SUBORDINATE to the influences Of
wealth and especially corporate control, and
dangerous to economical and honest admin
istration of government. national, State and
local In former times, such machine
has led to corruption in all departments,
and so it will again
The deprivation to local governments of
separate consideration at election of local
affairs does harm, beyond its direct partisan
influence. 1t has demonstrated repeatedly
thatin the brief time given to discussion of
issues, attention is sure to be given to one
Or two principal topics. to the exclusion of
others. The people who are called upon to
elect President Congressman, Senators,
Sheriffs, Surrogates Freeholders, Mayors,
Aldermen, aud Justices of the Peace should
have fair opportunity to deal with the
issues involved independently and with such
separation as may be practicable Failing
in this, they do not discriminate success
fully, and can not
The effect of such legislation is vicious;
its object is to wrong the public for the
benefit of the politician.

EDWARD GOTTSCHALk COMMITS
SUICIDE IN COUNTY JAIL
AT ST. PAUL.
uyDER SENTENCE TO HANS AUG. 5
MURDERER CONFESSED TO KILL
ING HIS AccoMPLIcE IN A
BRUTAL CRIME.

ST. Paul, July 2O.-Edward Gott-
sehalk, who confessed to numbering
his accomplice, Joseph Hartmann, in
the murder of Christian FL. Schindel-
decker, West Seventh street butcher,
the motive for the latter crime being
robbery, hanged himself in the county
Jail about noon during the absence of
the death watch at dinner. The con-
demned man used strip of cloth torn
from bedtiek.
Everything was excitement at the
Jail when it became known that Gott-
schalk had ended his life and in the
absence of Sheriff Miesen the head
jailer took it upon himself to deny ad-
mission to the Jail to newspaper men,
though what there was to conceal
could not be surmised.
That Gottschalk had carefully
planned to kill himself before the date
of his execution was evident from the
success of his effort. He seemingly
had the strands of his mattress plated
and formed into moose, in readiness
for killing himself at the first oppor-
tunity. He tied the improyised rope
tn the top bars of his cell, made a
moose in the lower end and, inserting
his neck, dropped nearly to his knees,
slowly strangling to death while his
body dangled on the floor.
When the self-execution was discov-
cred the body of the murderer was
cut down and Police Surgeon Moore
was quickly summoned. He found
Gottschalk dead, indicating that the
body must have hung in the cell a
considerable length of time before be-
ing discovered.
Edward Gottschalk was arrested for
the murder of Christian III. Schindel-
decker Feb. is, last. Joseph Hartmann,
his accomplice in the Schindeldecker
murder, disappeared sheTtly before
Gottschalk was arrested and the pris-
oner afterward, when Hartmann's body
was found weighted down in the Mis-.
sissippi river pleaded guilty in court
to killing Hartmann. He was SEN
fenced to be hanged on Aug. for this
crime and was not tried on the charge
OF numbering Schindeldecker.
