CHAPTER VL
A MOOSUGUT BAMBLE.
"Then I will take your room for a
month, Mrs, Whitford, and pay in ad
vance," Elsie heard a voice say, as she
entered her foster-mother's house one
afternoon.
"Toime to pny, zer, when we ha' ad
dled it: vor it be a'most as bad to pay
aforehand as not at all."
'The word of the righteous is his
bond,"snuffed the stranger, whom Elsie

had no difficulty in recognizing as Dodd,
the Hopkinsite.
This was the beginning of very bad
times for the poor girl: for, in place of
the pleasant companionship of the cul
tured young schoolmaster, she had to
endure the perpetual presence of one
she instinctively detested, and who
added to her abhorrence by constant
unpleasant allusions to her absent
friend.
To add to her dilemma, the man
seemed to have bewitched her foster-
parents Mrs. Whitford by a sancti
monlous appeal to her easily wrought
religious emotions the corporal by a
dazzling display of a knowledge of ele
mentary geology, with a special bear
ing on minerals, which, to his untu-
tored mind, revealedta depth of learning
bordering on the supernatural. When
the cunning rogue told Whitford it was
gold he was after, and gold he would
surely find, and how he would share
his fortune in embryo with his host, the
corporal's heart glowed with hope,
and he was quite aware that he was
entertaining an angel, who would bo a
special providence to him in his daily
increasing difhculties.
Day by day the clouds gathered over
the young girl s life; at last the storm
burst.
"Elsie, lass," said Mrs. Whitford late
one evening, "Oi hate to send thee out
at this toime o' noight, but thy fey
ther's tired, an' I ha' need o' things
from the toon. Gan thee must, Oi be
afeared."
"I will accompany the maiden," Dodd
suggested, with a ready smile.
Elsie started at the proposition. "No
sir. I prefer to go alone."
"Whoy, Elsie!" There was a world of
reproachful surprise in Mrs. Whitford's
tones.
"Hoot-toot, lass," broke in the cor
"poral, hotly, "the parson's good enough
company for the likes of you; get on
coat an' start this minute."
He spoke as though he meant to be
obeyed, and the girl with a sigh made
her preparations.
As the ill-assorted couple wended
their way along the lonely path that
led to the city, Dodd talked fluently, re
ceiving, however, from the panting lips
of his companion but brief responses.
In fact she heard but half he said, but
suddenly she was shocked into strict at
tention: "My dear child," he said, suddenly,
"the Lord hath appointed the blessed
state of matrimony."
Elsie -felt constrained to say some'
thing, so curtly replied: "I. suppose
so."
"And St. Faul says that it is not meet
that man should live alone."
"Does he?" very wearily.
"So for the last few weeks my medi
tations have turned toward marriage."
"Some lady in Oretown?" she asked
indifferently.
"Yes, dear child, listen." He drew
closer to her as he spoke. "I am not
very young, it is true, but Providence
has blessed me with perennial cheer
fulness of spirits. Youth, you know, is
noteverything."
"I suppose not."
"Youth is indiscreet; youth dissem
bles, youth is fickle."
"Yet youth is very enjoyable."
"In a carnal sense, yes."
They walked on a little in silence.
Mr. Dodd doubtless meditating on the
iniquities of the young.
Suddenly he asked:
"Do you love your father and mother,
Elsie?"
"What a questionl Of course I do,
"Ana you would obey, them like a
dutiful daughter?"
"Surely, but what has that to do with
your matrimonial projects it was of
them we were talking."
"Oh, Elsie, can you not tell? Surely
those big round eyes of yours are not
blind to my devotion? Child, I love
you!"
" You love tntf the girl recoiled with
horror. "Sir, if my father only knew
that you had dared to"
'Pshaw;! Your father does know.
your mother, too; this errand was all a
sham, pot up to afford me the oppor
tunity to 6peak to you."
"Impossible!
"And why impossible? Ah, I see, you
still hanker after that seullawag, Grey,
whose very acquaintance was a re
proach to you."
'You pitiful oowarar iier eyes
blazed with passion.
"You darling little beauty!" he cried,
seizing her in his arms and showering
kiwses on her face.
"Help 1 help!" she shrieked, in sick
ening agony.
Her breath came In short, ciioKing

Suddenly how she never knew a
burly form sprang from the shadow,
there was the dull thud of a heavy
blow, and her persecutor loosened his
hold on her and fell with a crash to the
earth.
"Great CiBsar!" shouted a manly voice,
"I guess I've knocked the spots on
that coon's beauty anyhow. Here, hold
up, my girl; there's nothing to fear
now."
"Oh, Mr. Wilders," Elsie gasped,
clinging to his arm. "I am so glad you
came."
"So am I."

livid and bruised, with the blood flow'
ing freely from a cut on his cheek.
"How dare you," he hissed, "strike a
minister of the gospel?"
"Ha. ha, ha." Wilders roared. "So
I've hooked you at last, you sneaking
hypocritical, 'tarnal old wolf in sheep's
clothing."
"I'll have the law of you. I'll charge
you with assault and battery, and "
"Burglary, infanticide, manslaughtei
and arson. Whoop her up, old boy
but," he added, sternly, "if you don

"I was simply offering my heart and
hand to the maiden, with her parents'
full consent. I have been guilty oi
nothing more dreadful than snatching
a kiss from a promised bride, Mr. Grey."
"Why, dod-gast your all-nred Impu
dence, your heart! your hand! to a
slip of a girl of seventeen at most!
Elsie," he said, turning to the trembling
young woman, "does this ieiiow speaic
the truth?"
"I do not know," she stammered; "per
haps I was foolish. Oh, take me home."
'See here, parson," vvuders said,
much mystified, "I'm goin' to take this
young lady back to her parents. The
road's free; you can go first or last; but,
understand that twos company an'
three's none. If you desire to go sky
larkin' into a law court you'll not have
to run across lots to find me, an' if you
ever annoy this girl again, parents or
no parents-consenting, it's Jack Wild
ers you'll have to-, reckon with, -an'
don't you forght it."
The baffled Dodd, muttering speedy
vengeance, 'slunk away towards the
city, and the prospector Ird Elsie up
the hill homeward.
"You never promised to run in double
harness with that cuss?" he asked, ab
ruptly.
'No! she answered, emphatically.
'An' your parents did they give him
the office, do you think?"
Did they encourage him, do you
mean? Oh, Mr. Wilders, I am afraid
they did."
"Great Scott!" The information
seemed to reduce the honest prospector
to a state of speechless indignation,
Presently, however, he ventured:
"Say, JSlsie, you an' Mr. Urey were
kind of thick?"
Yes." So low the answer that even
Jack's acute ear could hardly catch it.
"Don't think I want to pry into se
crets; but if it had been him trying to
snatch a kiss on yonder ledge, the lady
wouldn't have opened her breathm'
pipes so 'tarnal loud now, would she,
my dear?"
"Oh, Mr. Wilders!"
"Don't be scared. I'm Frank's Grey's
friend; an' I want to get the right lay
of the land before I go ahead."
"Mr. Grey never spoke a word of love
to me. He does not even know that I
I mean that he that is that"
"Exactly so a nod's as good as
wink to a blind hoss. I see. Now, run
home an' have it out with your mother,
You freeze on to Frank Grey; he is
man as will make his way, an' 1 guess
he don't mean to lose sight of the little
girl up at Oretown."
He bade her good night with a last
parting Injunction.
Don't knuckle down to anyone, au
whatever happens, my girl, remember
you've friends in Millie an' Jack Wild
ers, so hold your own, an' keep a stiff
upper lip."
Poor Elsie made a sad mess oi it.
when she reached home, ine very
worst she could make of the case was
that Dodd had tried to kiss her no
heinous offense in the eyes ol
those Derbyshire peasants, whose ways
of wooing are a little rougher than
those permissible in polite society.
Having once accepted the fact that she
was grown out of girlhood, which had
been instilled into their minds by
Dodd's eloquent sophistries, they saw
nothing but foolishness in the fuss she
had made over the trifling adventure
of the evening, and they were fiercely
indignant at Wilders' treatment of the
good man. who honored them by de
siring to become their son-in-law.
Dun mi knaw which sold her bread
be buttered on," grumbled Mrs. V hit
ford, as Elsie escaped to her chamber.
Just as he was going to set that
gold mining company afloat," growled
the corporal. "Drat that schoolmaster;
I wish he d ne,ver shown his handsome
face in these parts."
What, Grey! Whattens he got to
do wi' it?"
"Why, I heard," said -Whitford, stol
idly, puffing his pipe. "Why, I heard
as there had been a sight o' talk about
our lass an' him, an' that the school-
board had something to say about it
nay, I heard as he had to leave for car
ryin' on with Elsie. They kept it mum,
but there was a big fuss made about it."
"It be all my fault," moaned the un
happy woman. "Oi kep' the lass i'
short dresses when her ought to a wore
long gownds."
As she spoke the door opened and a
figure glided into the room. It was
the pastor. His clothes were soiled and
torn, his face was ghastly; a more
limp, dirty, disreputable personage it
was difficult to conceive. So comical
was his appearance that the corporal,
who possessed a strong vein of humor,
could, notwithstanding his awe for the
sacred personage, scarce keep his coun
tenance. 'Been in the wars, sir? Never mind,
a little soap an' water 'ull soon put ye
to rights. A little, vinegar 'ud be a
good thing for your cheek, if it wasn't
so broken and "
"llowd thy tongue, mon," the dame
interrupted; "let his reverence change
his clothes, an' Oi'll fettle un upwi'
sweet yerbs."
"Dear friends," Dodd groaned, "you
see my plight my bodily suffering you
can appreciate, but who can picture
the agony of mind I endure?"
"Who done it?" asked the corporal,
though the sly dog knew well enough
before he put the question.
"That son of Belial, Jack Wilders."
"Well, parson, I reckon you left your
mark on him?"
"No. I am a man of deeds, not
blows; and mark me, Mr. Whitford,
that man shall wash away these stains
with tears of anguish."
Such a diabolical expression shad-
owed Dodd's features as he breathed
this threat, that the corporal shud
dered; but he could not quite under
stand any condition in which a man
received a blow and did not re
turn it; and, from that moment, he be
gan to see flaws in his idol.

CHURCH AND STATE.
The Position of Catholicism Defined by
Father Jielford of Brooklyn.
Plattshuhg, N. Y., Aug. 20. The
fourth annual session of the Catholie
summer school closed last evening
when the Rev. John S. Belford, of
Brooklyn delivered the sermon on
The Church and the Republic."
He said in part: The true church
must make its members good citi
zens. The Catholic church is the
friend of every legitimate govern
ment but it is independent of any.
No doubt the church, like man, finds
one form of government more favor
able to its interests and discipline, but
she succeeds under all and she
helps all by teaching obedience to
authority, and by fostering every good
gift with which God has blessed
man. She recognizes no divine right
to rule independent of justice or the
will of the people, and she teaches
that when rulers become unjust and
cease to regard the rights of the peo
ple they become tyrants, punishable by
God and by the people. I he church
can not interfere with the state, but
she can say that a law is unjust and
that it may not be obeyed. In judg
ing the church for the things done in
the middle ages, we must not separate
her from the age or the state of soci
ety. Enemies of the church do not
hesitate to say that she saved Europe
and that she was lhe only moral power
in the world. The church looks upon
the American republic as a legit
imate government, she approves its
constitution, but she does not say that
it is an ideal government. She be
lieves it is impossible to conceive a
government in which church and state
will remain distinct, but in which the
influence of religion will be more felt
and its rights more respected. This is
the sense of the late encyclical of Leo
XIII. to the bishops of the United
States. She cannot obey any law that
makes marriage dissoluble except by
death; she cannot but , protest against
any system of education that teaches
errors, or fails to teach religion; she
holds that there is no more right to
spread the poison of error than the
poison of disease, and she holds that
the state should .control the speaker
and writer of evil as well as the maniao
and leper."

GOVERNMENT BANKING.
Tb Only True Solution of the Money Ques
tion and the Only Way to Destroy In
terest. The benefits that could accrue to the
people from government banks are
very great We first opposed govern
ment loans, then was converted to the
doctrine. This was fifteen or more
years ago. We opposed government
banks less than ten years ago, but now
believe that government banks would
be a blessing so great that we cannot
at present comprehend the full extent
of it Within a month it has occurred
to us that if the government did the
banking, it could construct, without
taxation or the issuance of bonds, a
vast railroad system.
In order to partially disarm prejudice
in the mind of the reader against pub
lic loans, we will here state that this
county and many other counties in
this state have for years loaned to the
people public school funds arising prin
cipally from the sale of certain swamp "
lands and sixteenth sections donated
by the government. This fund is
known as the school fund principal,
and is perpetual, only the interest to
be used. The fund in this county now
amounts to $140,000. It was loaned for
many years at 10 per cent, and now at
8 per cent, that being the contract rate
in this state at the present time.
Perhaps as much as $300,000
has been paid to the county as interest
on this fund. This was divided yearly
among the various school districts and
took the place of that much taxes.
The money is loaned by the county
court, the members of which get $5 per
day when in session. Not to exceed
$300 yearly of their salaries is on ac
count of time spent in connection with
the school fund loans. The borrower
keeps the money as long as he wants
to, provided he pays the interest and
keeps the security good. This is one
branch of the banking business that
the government of this county is en
gaged in the business of loaning
money.
There is another branch oi tne DanK-
mg business ueing carried on Dy xne
people in this county and in all coun
ties in the United States, and that is
the business of buying anil selling ex
change. Our post offices government
institutions do "that They sell
money orders, which are practically
the same' as a bank draft, and they
also cash money orders.
Now, there is only one branch of the
banking business that the government
is not engaged in here in this country
and that is receiving deposits from the
people. Private banks do that.
Our national and state banks, owned
by individuals, receive the people's
money on deposit, usually without in
terest. They loan these deposits out.
The banks now have loaned deposits
to an amount much greater than all
the money in the United States. This
is made nossible in this way: B de
posits 81,000 in bank; next day C bor
rows $1,000, draws it and pays it out in
the neiffhborhood. The people to
whom this money is paid deposit in
bank or pay it to those who do. It
gets back to the bank and next day D
borrows it D leaves it in the bank,
the banker gives him no money, just
simply credits him with $1,000 on the
books and D checks against his credit.
The persons to whom he gives checks
leave the money in the bank or if they
take it out it gets back in a day or two,
if not the same day.
There is no limit to the loans it may
make except that experience in bank
ing has taught the banker that he
must keep a reserve in cash equal to 15
to 25 per cent, of the deposits to pro
vide against an unusual demand for
actual cash.
The government should establish a
bank with one or more branches in
every county. Other banks might be
prohibited if deemed necessary, but we
believe they could not compete with
government banks and would volun
tarily retire from the business. From
the best bankers in a county could be
selected men to run the government
institutions
Government banks would be the fa
vorite depositories. Depositors would
be absolutely safe and bank runs and
bank panics would be a thing of the
past. There would be no end to the
amount of loans these banks could
make, for should there be an unusual
demand on any branch for actual cash,
other branches could supply it In
case of private banks this cannot be
done. It is true a "private bank may
borrow upon the notes it holds, but it
cannot always do so, and just when it
needs the money, most is the time it
cannot borrow.
Suppose a private bank with $100,000
denosits and $20,000 in actual cash is
called upon by depositors tor as much
as $50,000 actual cash. It tries to bor
row upon the notes it holds and failing
in this must suspend. With a govern
ment bank if there was a demand for
every dollar of deposits in any branch
or in a hundred branches for that
matter, cash could be transferred from
the other branches. The depositors
would alwavs be safe and always be
sure of getting their money any min
ute they should call for it With pri
vate banks panics are possible; a little
scare a false alarm, and half the
banks suspend. Depositors cannot get
their money, and what is worse, busi-
ness men cannot get loans auu, as a
. . .
consequence, fail.
With government banks the only
limit to the amount of loans would be
the amount of security. The money
loaned one day, if the borrowers did
not leave it in the bank, would get into
the bank the next day in the shape of
deposits, and could be loaned again
and so on day after day, month after
month and year after year. With the
whole banking business under its con
trol, the government bank could make
loans amounting to twenty, thirty or
for forty billions of dollars.
With a government banking system
the government could at any time con
struct twenty-five thousand miles of
railroad without taxing the people or
selling bonds. Congress could author
ize the banking department to loan to
the railroad department $250,000,000
with or without interest The rail
road department would take a credit
in the bank for that sum and any
branch would honer its checks. The
money paid out in the construction of
the railways would promptly find its
way back to the bank and could be re
loaned. Through this system this
great society known as the United
States could employ a portion of its
workers in making public improve
ments, and they be paid for the labor
in an equivalent of the products of the
other members of the society, the
money they would get being in effect a
certificate that they had performed
the labor and were entitled to an
equivalent The railways con
structed, the charges thereon for
transportation could be fixed so
as to pay operating expenses, repairs
and in easy installments, the
money or credit borrowed from the
banking department. Thus the road
would be paid for and belong to the
people, and why should it not as long
as their labor bunt ivi mere is no
limit to the amount of public improve
ments that could thus be made, except
the limit of laborers. Of course it
would not be well to withdraw too
much labor from field and factory, but
the 2,000,000 men now practically idle
could be given work and they could
build and equip 25,000 miles of railway
a year and construct a vast amount of
other public works.
If railroad projectors and owners had
been perfectly honest in building and
operating the roads; had they not cor
rupted anybody and had they charged
only sufficient for a reasonable profit
upon the actual investment, railroad
construction would probably now be no
further west than Ohio, provided, of
course, the government would have re
fused to construct. But had the gov
ernment taken banking and transpor
tation in charge as public matters, the
railway mileage could now be double
and every mile belong to the govern
ment and free from debt
Besides enabling public improve
ments government banking would be
a source of great profit If it was
deemed proper to make the interest
rate as high as 4 per cent, the tax as
sessor and collector might be dispensed
with, at least a large portion of the
expenses of ' national, state and local
governments and public schools could
be paid with the profits from banking.
Even with an interest rate of 2 per
cent a lara-esum would be made which
could be applied on the expenses of
government
Probably the feature of government
banking that would be most appre
ciated would be the low rate of inter
est arid the removal of fear cf sudden
foreclosure. A private loaner may de
mand his money for the simple reason
that he knows the borrower cannot at
that time raise the money and he will
be able tq get his property at a song,
To the honor of money lenders we
want to here say that this is the excep-
tion it is not the rule. Most money
lenders do a legitimate business and
are satisfied as long as the interest
is' paid and the security kept suffi
cient Again the money lender sees
better investments, or wants to get his
money into a few large loans, wants
to buy bank stock or has some reason
why he must have his money. On many
loans the original time has expired
and the loan is practically on call and
payment is liable to be demanded at
any time. Even when the borrower
knows years in advance when he must
pay often he cannot get ready without
a great sacrifice. The mortgaged man
is in hot water and he and his good
wife grow prematurely gray from the
fear of losing their home. A govern
ment loan would run as long as he
wanted it to if he would keep the
small interest paid and the security
sufticient
What obiection can be brought
against government banks? Too much
power in the hands of the govern
ment? Would not there not be less
political power in the banks then than
now? And cannot the appointive
power be taken away from the presi
dent and placed nearer the people?
Government banking1 would make
interest a distributer of wealth
Every dollar of interest received would
belong to seventy millions of people.
Under the present system of private
banking interest is a concentrator of
wealth. Through it vast fortunes are
gathered by the few. A man of medium
ability starts early m life loaning a
few dollars, and by the tremendous ac
cumulative power of compound inter
est is by middle age possessed of a
large income. He leaves the strong
armed, energetic, economical farmer
away behind; he outstrips the enter
prising and successful merchant; the
talented lawyer and doctor are not in
it compared with him; the skilled me
chanic, whose handiwork as shown in
our great cities is so much admired, is
a pauper compared with him. Early
in life he sits back in his easy chair a
king, a tyrant if he is so disposed. His
children, without a lick of hard work,
start out in life rich, whilst other chil
dren, the sons and daughters of the
best and most enterprising citizens,
start with comparatively nothing, and
must hew out their own road,
made all the harder to do by
reason of the great concentra
tion of wealth into the hands
of a few by reason of interest. Here
is a man of 50; oh, what a worker he
has been; head on his shoulders good
enough for a president; how saving he
has been; how much self-denial has he
nraeticed. He feels that he has suc
ceeded in life when he compares his
possessions with those of . his neigh
bors, until the comparison reaches the
money lender, and then how little and
poor he feels. With all his work and
saving- and planning, and we might say
scheming he has only a dollar where
the money lender, the man of very
common .abilities, has ten dollars.
There would be great satisfaction and
encouragement to industry if the busi
ness of private lending was superceded
by public loans. It is only a matter of
a few years, if private lending con
tinues and government loans are not
provided for, when the money lender!
will own practically all the property
in the United States. A brief glance
at a comrjound interest table will
satisfy anvone of this.
Put this paper down as an earnest
advocate of government banks. Mis
