nnn,t nnt.Dumba Dumba.

From the st. Louis Times.
We are glad to note that the
st. Louis branch of the German
American Alliance rose above
the petty policy proposed by
certain individuals which has
for its purpose a pledge on the
part of German-A Americans ia
withdraw their deposits from
any banks that might become a
party to the proposed billion
dollar Anglo-French loan. The
proposal is more dangerous than
the Anglo-French loan request.
1t is un-American and short
sighted, and calculated to dis
turb this country's finances to
the danger point.
Those who oppose the Anglo
French loan should remember
that the first consideration in
the loan discussion should be the
protection of Americas finances.
The withdrawal, by German
Americans, of deposits from
banks which might-in some
cases even against their will
become a party to the loan, is
fraught with most serious dan
gers.
1t is Dumba-like in its theory;
it would tend to tear down A.
merican institutions in order to
thwart British or French
schemes. 1t would Guido the
Dumba strike plan.
AS we have repeatedly stated
this billion-dollar loan business
is far too serious a matter to be
tempered with by prejudices
and radical plans. Those who
oppose it should use their moral
strength in its opposition they
should guard themselves against
cutting off their noses out of
spite.

A Fine Opportunity.

Canaioharie, New York, the
home of the famous Beech-Nut
Packing Company, recently had
thrust upon it a benefaction that
would be nightly appreciated
by our own little city. Cana
ioharie had an Indebtedness of
several thousands of dollars that
was ever staring each succeed
ing Board in the face. It had
been pushed along from year to
year until it had become some
thing of a nuisance. AT a meet
ing of the Board last week, the
Beech-Nut Company sent their
check to cover the full indebted
ness.
The City of Lexington has a
small debt that might be liqui-
dated in a similar manner by
some benevolently inclined COM
pany operating within the cor
porate limits. 1t would be very
effective advertising, and, no
doubt, fully appreciated by the
city's creditors, and possibly by
the tax payers.

gance, which would be serious
were it true, the Auditor shows
that during Governor Hadley's
administration the sum of 1884,
9S0.8S was added to the pay roll
per year, while the increase dur
ing Governor Majors admins
tration has been but $218,867 .68
per year, and the big item in
this is the establishment of the
State Public Service Commits
sion, the costliest single branch
of the State government, and
which was not in existence dur
ing Governor Hadley's admins
Itration.
On the score of nepotism the
Auditor rubs it in good and hard
on the Governor, who opened
his term by placing his father
in-law in a good position. The
Governors example was follow
ed by other Republicans as in
dicated The State Game and
Fish Commissioner put two of
his own family on the pay roll;
the State Beer Inspector found a
good job for his hopeful son, and
the Superintendent of Building
and Loan Associations appointed
his wife a deputy under him.
The Labor Commissioner gave a
good berth to his son, and the
Warden of the Penitentiary
cared for his brother-in-law.
And this is not all. The Repub-
lican Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court put his son on the
pay roll and the Superintendent
of Public Schools found a good.
place in his Office for his sister
in-law.
Before the Ex-Governor criti-
cises Democrats for extrava-
gance or nepotism he should ex-
plain his own bad example, if
the practices are to be condemn
ed. A few good, hard shots like
the State Auditor has handed
the exc Governor will put him
completely off the political map
of MissO uri, if in fact he has not
already put himself off through
his treachery to the Republican
and Bull Moose parties. The
political friends of Governor
Hadley should insist that he be
muzzled if he is to make the
race for the Republican nomina-
ton for United States Senator
