The populists stood firm throurh the storm and 8 tress of the last campaign and polled as many votes as they ever did. Mark, Hanna money, McKinley prosperity, gold and glory had no effect upon them. The state was carried by the republicans by increasing the vote more than 20,000.

S. Bartley. ex-state treasurer.' As the article is. a tissue of. malicious falsehoods and was known to the Jour nal to be written by a notorious liar who would not be believed under oath by any man . who -knows him, and as the purpose of it was to make politi cal capital .by showing that more of the state's money deposited in Mr. Bartley's bank might have been real ized out of the assets of the bank, I enclose you, and request that you "pub lish, my letter on the matter to the Journal , Yours truly, il. F. HARRINGTON. The reply that. Mr. Harrington makes to the State Journal is as follows: "I returned home on'Saturday night after a'.four weeks' absence out-of the state and my attention has just been called to an article , In your Issue of July 16, referring to the closing up and liquidation of the Exchange Bank oi Atainson, xormeriy owned Dy ex Treasurer J. S. Bartley. The entire purpose of the article was to show that . certain, assets of . the bank had been sacrificed or squandered or prob ably misappropriated. I now ask that you give this letter, publicity in your paper as you did the other article. No fair newspaper will refuse that. Your paper charges that I, was retained to represent the depositors who held de posits in MY. Bartley's bank at the time of the failure of the bank, and that the amount of the deposits was 110,955. . This statement is correct. You further state that on March 17, ISS8, I effected a settlement for the depositors and got. from the receiver 12,750 in cash, and securities amount ing to $20,429.79 and that I paid the depositors 75 per cent on their deposits and kept the securities. A reputable 1 newspaper ought notto make any sue statement? without, some evidence that it is true; The statement is made out of whole cloth. It is! a coarsely manu factured lie, and the court records so show, and the depositors also know that your . statement is unqualifiedly false. The facts are these: When che bank failed there was to the credit of Mr. Bartley in the bank about $54,000; the state of Nebraska, through its at torney general, filed a" claim in court alleging that It was' state money which was misappropriated by Mr. Bartley and that the funds were trust funds of the state, and the attorney general claimed that under the decisions of ou supreme court the state had a first? Hen on the assets of the broken bank. If the state should succeed in this claim the depositors living in Atkin son ahd other parts, of Holt county would not get a cent. They began to fear they would lose their money. A number cf the depositors got together and agreed on a date to hold a meet ing and then a representative of the depositors came to O'Neill and asked me to attend the meeting, saying that the principal depositors desired that I should act as their attorney in the litigation with ths state. The meeting was held and I was present. Much more than one-half of these depositors were republicans living in and around Atkinson which Is well knovn to be the republican stronghold in this county. They evidently, did not re tain me for political reasons, but sim ply because they desired a lawyer to protect their Interests. We tried to ef fect a settlement and for that pur pose the receiver was authorized to go to Lincoln to consult with the state officials, and of course his ex pense were paid therefor. Your ar ticle states that my expenses were paid out of the assets. That is an other unblushing falsehood. We did not effect a settlement at that time. While the attorney general sympa thized with the .depositors he felt it to be his duty to save all the money he could for the state. I told him that we would contest the proposition that tho money belonged to the state and would contend that it belonged to Mr. Bartley personally. He investigated the matter and prepared, as best he could. I suppose, for trial. I investi gated both the evidence and the law and prepared for trial, but before the day of trial came I made another prop osition to the attorney general of set tlement. Irv the bank there were se curities of about $20,(00 in notes ow ing to Mr. Howard Miller and his company. To a large portion of this debt a defense was threatened and no doubt would have been made success fully. The attorney general investi gated the matter and did not believe that they could realize very much on that claim for the state, but Mr. Miller had lived in Atkinson and was friend ly with all the depositors personally, and was willing to make a comprom ise on the notes if the money went to the depositors who were his friends and former neighbors. There was also a judgment for $480 which the bank held against the Farmers and Mer chants Insurance company 'at Lincoln. The judgment was to secure the notes of Gilbert Wiard. The bank had won the case In the county court and in the district court, but the case was still pending In the supreme court and nobody could tell how it would end. . I had tried the caso in all these courts MEDICAL EXAMINER Otthe U. S. Treasury Eooommends -.v:' Pemna. . :.' Dr. Llewellyn Jordan. Dr .Lie wellyn Jordan, Medical Exami ner of II. S.

I had a lien for $200 attorney fees on . this judgment which I hoped to collect if tbe judgment was collected. I offered, in behalf of the depositors, to take the Miller debt and this judgment and $2,750 in money in full settlement of the claims of the' depositors. The at torney general, as I have stated, did not expect to realize much out of the Miller claim and finally advised me that while the state could not consent to anything he thought my proposition a fair one. Thereupon the district court approved of the settlement with the depositors and I took these securi ties for the depositors and not for my self In any sense. The settlement was made with the , knowledge and ap proval of a committee selected by the depositors to represent them. That committee was Mr. CrosSman, Mr. Al len and Mr. Bennett. They, are aH staunch republicans and reputable and honest business men living at Atkin son. I finally compromised the entire Miller paper for $6,000, and I got $2, 750 from the receiver, and I got the assignment of the judgment against the insurance company. I then paid the depositors 75 cents cash on tne dollar and retained the balance and the judgment for my fees in that case and the $200 which the bank owed me. I offered the judgment to one of the large depositors, telling him fully the condition it was in, but he refused to take it and I had to take It for my fees Instead of money. I was fortunate enough to subsequently collect it and thereby . save my attorney fees. . '.'Now I have this proposition to make to the edit6r of the Journal: If you can- prove that one statement made In this letter is untrue, or If you can show that I misappropriated so much as one dollar of the assets of the Exchange Bank of Atkinson I will pay you $1,000 in cash, and you can inquire of any bank here whether my obligation for that amount is good. And to make it easy for you. you. can have the investigation before the fol lowing gentlemen who are certainly among the most prominent, and I think the most prominent republicans in Holt county: Mr. R. R. Dickson, chairman of your central committee; Judge M. P. Kinkaid, your late 'candi date for congress, and Mr. John Skirv Ing, the only man that the republi cans have elected to office in , this county for'ten years. The Journal now ought to either make good Its charge or publish a complete apology. Don't sneak out of it; come to the scratch. Yours truly, "M. F. HARRINGTON." Trade Balances. -j.W. II. Allen of New York, contributes to , the New York .Times a very interesting ; and instructive article,' entitled "What Becomes of Trade Balances?" Mr. Allen writes: "The publication of the custom bouse statistics for the fiscal year ended June. 30 is likely to cause a ' renewal cf . the discussion as to what becomes of pur foreign trade- balances. C ; - '"This year our excess of exports of merchan dise will amount to abcut $665,000,000, but in stead df getting any cash for this enormous bal ance, it anpears that we have paid , out some V $20,000,000 more than we received. Some time ago it was claimed that we were lending a good part s of this balance to foreign countries, but In a letter to the Times of May 8, I disputed this .'claim and';' contended that our annual foreign debts for in terest dues; freights, and tourists' expenses, etc., Y had grown so large that they more than offset our enormous trade balances, and hence we had to ex- , port specie, and mortgage our properties to square ; the account. Just a few weeks afterward The Sun published a statement fully admitting that we had no money loaned abroad, and that, in fact, we were borrowers, but at the same time contending that the remainder of tjur trade balances had been exhausted ; in paying for securities returned from abroad. ' ,-.;,'''. "This theory -of the matter is always based on tlie assumption that foreign countries are not able to pay cash for what they buy from us, and so are forced to return securities to square the account. A glance at the facts, however, proves this as sumption to be ridiculously false. England buys most of our products, and holds most of our se curities. Eut England is not short of cash-bv anv means. On the contrary, she is fairly glutted with idle mony, as is shown by the low Interest rates, the over-subscription, to the various loans floated there, and the heavy Investments of her capital ists In this and other countries. - V ; "A still more conclusive disproof of this theory is furnished by the. reports of foreign investments alien laborers who come here for ' the sole pur- poseof hoarding up a little fortune. "Now, as a result of our greater prosperity daring the last few years, all these debts for the use and employment of foreign r capital, foreign labor, and for foreign travel "have grown so enormously that now they overtop our big trade -balances, and so we have to. sell more properties, run Into debt; and export gold to .square the ac count, jn no "other way is it possible to explain the singular fact that we have been exporting gold at a time when there were so many indications -that we need every; dollar at home to avert im pending financial disasters." ' ; : , ; ; Democratic Reorganization. - V All students of political science hold it to be axiomatic, that in popular government two parties are necessary, three parties are ' cumbrous . and. ". four parties anomalous.' The history of parliamen-' tary government in continental Europeparticular ly in France' and Germany, is evidence beyond all, dispute that a multiplicity of parties means in stability in administration; changes in the execu- , tive too frequent for the execution of, any positive program, a wilderness of trades and bargains and compromises which make 'the nation a wanderer in the woods with a circle the mark of her - progress. ' ; ;:-:-: j;":"-:. -, '-. ' -' ' . Further, when conditions permit a third party to rise and grow stronger, it is almost as demon- . strable in political science that we may look for a- decline and dissolution of one of the old parties ? ' as that when the tide is rising in one place it must v be ebbing' in another. J ; )-"-fJ'K'" Now, any. proposition to reorganize the demo--cratic party ought to be such as will hot involve its own destruction and the nation's injury by giv ing rise to a third party. It appeals strongly to us that any method of reorganization which has in view something more 'than the temporary success of an ephemeral party must recognize tne neces-. , - sity of avoiding conditions which will call into , being a third party. It is because the proposition of these . would-, since the beginning of 1898, the period in which ; be reorgamzers seems to make directly for a state we are supposed to have got back the most of these ' of things which would create a third party, w?th securities. iVThese reports, which are published the predictable consequences, both to .the demo daily in the leading newspapers, show that within cratic party and to the nation, that we venture to this time the purchases of stocks for foreign ac- .. suggest that the proposition be rejected. If you count on the stock exchange were vastly in excess of the sales. Outside of Wall street these reports fully justify the belief that since 1897 more for eign capital has beefi invested in our mines, lands, and industrial plants than in any similar period of our history. On the other hand, we find no reports of any kind to show, where the foreigners have Jet go their grip on any of these properties. . "Well,it may be asked,' if our trade balances have not gone to cancel returned securities, what has become of them? V - "The only reasonable answer to this question, I contend, is that they have gone to offset our an--nual foreign debts, for s interest, dividends, and profits on . foreign capital, cost of freights, ex pense of 1 Americans abroad, and hoardings of . migratory Immigrants. This last item is always overlooked, "although the proof of its existence is as plain as a pikestaff. In the case of our trade with Canada, it is unquestionably the largest item. For the eleven months ending May 31, 1901, our. favorable trade balance with . that country was aboutv$59,000,000, while our nt imports of specie amdN to only $22,000,000. As we do not owe Canada any big sums for Interest dues, freights. tourists' expenses, or returned securities, the only reasonable Inference is that the bulk of this bal ance has gone to offset the -drafts and money or ders of the vast army of Canadian laborers , who arc in the pnited States. In the same way it is certain that' a large' part of our balances with Eu rope has gone to offset the savings of the thouy sands of English, Austrians, Italians, and other look below their" non-commital generalities and allow the reputation of the men to be their own ' interpreters you cannot fail to discover that every pian has at bottom the idea of . forcing the party?' back to Wall street conception of. democracy. This is what John G. Carlisle means by. conserva tive theories, or, in the more specific words of an- ether reorganizes it is the abandonment . of all agitation tor the income tax, of all opposition to government by injunction, of all real attempts to control the, vicious corporations. They mean that the democratic party shall be brought nearer to Its opponent shall give groundhall become again a "conservative" party. Such apposition, it seems to me, the history of the government by parties the world over as ap- - plied to cur. present conditions, reveals to be ut terly inconsistent both with the interest of, the country and the permanence of the democratic party. Opponents must always take positions rel ative to each other; if in a tug of war one leans , back the ether one must do the same. This is true of parties. The republican party is now vio lently reactionary, and is the father of conditions which no dilletante opposition can successfully and permanently meet. Ultra-conservatism can not be met by conservatism.. Its natural and inev itable foe is radicalism. When these two ex tremes 'of men's tendencies are represented we then have the fulfillment of the function of par ties in government. They are then the efficient machinery by which the people can decide how far backward or forward they shall go. So that if a party will not go as far out toward the the teeter board as the other, it always & to a party that will. The political history country and Europe proves - this incont. So long as parties are the instruments by the people decide to What lengths in the m of governments they wish to go, they have have parties which will take them as far ot or" another as they choose to go, and in 1, communities they will have it.

Where is it going to em Well, there is no reason why it should en all, short of the collegiate education of every son in the, community. A hundred years ago function of the college was thought to be to t i candidates for the ministry - Preachers were only persons who really needed a college oil : tion, and that education by the way, was less vanced in most respects than "a high school tr ing is how. v Besides the ministers, it was thos; that lawyers and doctors might get some ber from a higher education, but in their case it v not at all necessary. The candidate for on those professions might-very, well start in a boy sweeping out the office of an old practitioi and pick up a knowledge of the business in his moments. Outside of the three learned prof sions nobody had any real occasion. for the thii that were taught in college. Indeed, the educat; of that day was carefully designed to be as ; practical as possible. It gave no assistance nnytning so sordid as the art of getting a livit; . nor did' it help appreciably to expand the studen knowledge of the world in which he. lived..

It is no longer a matter learning to make quotations from Horace, i touches life on every side. It meets every possib need and aspiration, practical or ideal. In the hut dreds , of courses offered by- the great America universities, with their thousands of possible per mutations and combinations, there Is something t lit every individual mind. There is not only th opportunity for intellectual culture beyond any thing dreamed of in the old education, but then iu the most practical sort . of training for ah in finite variety of gainful occupations as new as tin modern education itself. A .single, electrical com pany this year offered positions to the 'entire grad uating class in the department of mechanical science at Cornell. (' Evidently, Mr. Schwab's ideas are not uni versally held in the business world. Even now the higher education reaches direct ly only au insignificant fraction of the population, but there is no reason why, in time, it should not reach all.- A few year$ ago there was a justifiable fear that an increase in the number, of college students might mean the creation of a swarm o" superfluous ministers, doctors and lawyers, and the subtraction from productive pursuits of num bers of young men who ought; to be working with their hands But now the young man who works with his hands can find In college plenty of ma terial to give him pleasure and inspiration In his calling. The higher education in this cduntry no longer . tends to produce a parasitic intellectual aristocracy. The American . college is the most powerful ully of American democracy. Saturday Evening Pest.

Editor Independent: Please permit me to an swer Certain comments of Dr. William M. Polk, dean of the Cornell Medical College, which were quoted In your last issue. ' " ; : . Dr. Polk is of the' opinion that Christian Science healing, is accom plished by hypnotism or, as the doc tors . call it, psycho-therapeutics, or suggestive therapeutics. We answer that Christian Science is an established religion, based oh the Bible, as interpreted 'by the writings of Mrs. Eddy. The Bible and Science and Health, with Key to the Scrip tures, are our only text-books, and no works on ' hypnotism or suggestive therapeutics are studied by Christian Scientists.' Our text-book expressly condemns hypnotism, and so does our We acknowledge the divine mind alone as the healer and saviour from all evil and disease, and we deny that any healing or saving influence exists in mortal mind. ; , - The doctor admits that hypnotism is limited in effect to certain kinds of disease, but Christian Science has been demonstrated as the healing truth that makes free from all manner of sick ness and sin. , The doctor is correct in , saying that there is danger in hypnotism, for It means the despotic control of one human will over -another. Why hot Include the Bible and Science and Health among the required studies of the medical schools? And thus learn the laws of the action of divine mind, as revealed in these books, and demonstratedln a countless number ot cases. . ,; ' On page 286 of Scienceand Health we read: "Like our nation Christian Science has its declaration, of inde pendence. God has endowed man with, inalienable rights, among which are self-government,,, reason tihd con science. Man is properly self-governed only when he is - guided by, !no other mind than his Maker's. , - "Man's rights are Invaded when thl3. divine order is Interfered with. The mental trespasser necessarily Incurs the divine penalty due to this crime." WILLIAM H. JENNINGS. Lincoln, Neb. , 1 .
