THE MIL MOOSE AND THE TRUSTS.

To the Editor
sir-The plan that tue Progressive

United states. This would require an
army OF secret service men and inspee-
tors It would tend to build up the

were made in Lake County's natural

the blame at the door of the republic

were just as bad.
And then Ed Simons contested an
election on the grounds that the re-
publicans had naturalized so many
voters illegally that he had been de-
prived Of the office for which he ran

Of Gary to note that their two little

should be forgiven now.

GOSSIP OF GOTHAM.
**=%=**=*===%=%*.

New York, May 25.-Following a
long newspaper crusade, the authori-
ties have at last taken action against
the loan sharks" who have for years
fiourished and grown rich at the ex-
pense of the poor, needy and unfor-
tunate people of the metropolis. The
Sage Foundation has taken a promi-
nent part in the investigation of the
sharks, and as a result many of the
gentry now face trial and, if convict
ed, will doubtless land in jail For
years the building of the American
Tract Society, at Nassau and Spruce
streets, has been the favorite hang
out of the sharks, but newspaper ex-
posures of the operations carried on
in that big office building has finally
led to a housekeeping. The name
of the American Tract Society has
been chiseled from the doorway of the
edifice, which has housed so many
shylocks, and the new agents in
charge of the renting of offices declare
they have turned out most of the dis
reputable tenants and will effect a
thoroughly cleaning out of all of them
before they quit. Until the glare Of
publicity was turned on it, the Ameri-
can Tract Society building probably
held more disreputable business en-
terprises than any other office build-
ing in the city. Such nefarious enter
prises found the cloak of sanctity af-
forded by the Tract Society great
help in gouging the public. Pictures
of the sacred" edifice appeared on
their letterheads, and ignorant folk
were properly impressed, believing
that the great and respectable tract
society vouched for the honesty of the
occupant of its building. To prevent
further abuse of the society's name,
it is said, the name has been taken
from the building, and hereafter II
will be known as No. $50 Nassau
street. 1t is strange, however, that
the society, devoted to the moral edu-
cation of heather, did not take such
action until exposed" in the news
papers. and for years accepted the
blood money extracted by the Insurers
from the poor District Attorney
