The sun of John Whites life went
down in storm and tumult. A fighter for
his conception of right and truth to the
last, he organized Dorchester on the side
of parliament at the opening of the Civil
War, and afterwards earned for his pains
the title of IAN old instrument of sedl-
ton from Wood, the historian. His
rectory was pillaged in 1642 by Prince
Ruperts troops and his library de-

The Michigan Political Union

From the New York Evening Post.
A state that gave the Roosevelt electors
a plurality of 10000 last November would
seem to be one that was particularly
without excuse for harboring any dcker-
ing or deals between the saints and the
sinners. yet Michigan actually leads the
way in reuniting of the republicans ana
the progressives. The latter get the plat

the cities The place I patronze here is
the National Bank of Mexico. an institu-
tion whose capital is more than $1,000
600, with deposits which compare with
our largest United States banks. Its
profits are something like $3,000,00o year
and it has branches in nearly every Mex
lean city.
Another big bank here is the Bank of
London and Mexico. which was estab-
lished by British capital at the close OF
our civil war and which is paying some
thing like II per cent on it's stock. And
then there is the Mexican Bank of Com
merce and Industry backed by capital
of $5.000O00, some of which is held by
the Deutsche Bank of Berlin, some by
the Speyers of New York and by business
men here in the city. and also the Mex-
can Banking company, which has capi-
tai of about S2,000,000.
Nearly all the banks are owned by
foreigners. The Banco National is large
ly backed by French capital the branch
Bank of Montreal by the Canadians, and
there is also a Chinese financial organi-
zation, with capital of half million
or so.
Altogether there are "a chartered
banks in Mexico City which are doing
a business of several hundred million
dollars month. The total banking cap
ital amounts to more than $780, 600 in
gold and the dividends paid range all the
way from to 16 per cent The stock of
nearly every bank Is far above par, and
this is the same with the life insurance
companies, title insurance companies and
many other financial institutions The
