Sir: The Chailesge. published at your place, has beea decided by this cSLce, after consideration of the. ap- HEADACHE plication and papers submitted by the publishers, to be NOT ENTITLED to admission into the malls at the second cias rates of postage, under the pro vision of Par. 4, sec. 277, postal laws and regulations, which reads as fol lows: lt must be originated and pub lished for the dissemination" of infor mation of a public character, or de voted to literature, the sciences, arts, or some special Industry, and having a legitimate list of subscribers; pro vided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to admit to the second class rate regular publications designed primarily for advertising purposes, or for free circu lation, or for circulation at nominal rates." You are directed to inform the pub lishers of the action of the depart ment, and to require postage at the third class rate (that means a one-cent stamp on each paper, or $15,000 a year instead of 1,50 as formerly. Ed. Ind.) on all copies of the publication pre sented for mailing at your office. Yours very respectfully, (Signed) EDWIN C. MADDEN, Third Asst. Postmaster General. The Challenge was a socialist paper uwl filled with egotistic rot of the edi tor from beginning to end. But. that is true of nine-tenths of the gold-bug publications and they are carried at pound rates. Jf Mr. Madden can sup press the. Challenge be can suppress any other paper. He has assumed the very sort of power exercised in Russia by the czar. If any considerable num ber of persons in the United States want to buy and . read socialistic dreams and nonsense, or pay for a pub lication every line of which steams with the egotism of the editor, they have a perfect right to do it. If some of these days you do not get your Independent, you will know with out further Information that Mr. Ed win C. Madden, third assistant post master general, has suppressed it. PLOTTIa OIVILTBV Although the republican party bas adopted many of the financial prin ciples advocated by the populists, be ing forced to do it to prevent a gen eral upheaval and expulsion from power, yet the battle is not yet "won and no man must put bis armor off. The papers report that a committee beaded by Congressman Overstreet of Indiana recently had a consultation with the. president in regard to pusn lng the bill to make silver dollars re deemable la gold and such a bill Is to be reported early la the next session. But the worst piece of financial dev iltry was developed at Milwaukee the other day at the bankers coavention, where ths re-eatabllshinent of the old United States bank system, overthrown by Jackson, was boldly advocated, re ceiving the hearty approval of Secre tary Gage. The plan is to have one big bank located In WaJl street and all the others to be branches. When that thing is accomplished, business Inde pendence will be a thing of the past. No enterprise In the whole United States that required any considerable amount of capital could be started, or run after "it was started, without the consent of a little coterie of Wall street magnates who controlled the main bank. Now there Is deviltry for you, the like of which you never dreamed of be fore. TheTSew York bank clique has been working up to this for several years under oae guise and another, Branch banks have been the dream of the multi-millionaires for years. With this system In operation, credits would be extended or withheld la every, ham let and town in the whole country, at the word of some man in Wall street. All business, and even government it self, would be under the direction of the Wall street autocrat.. Talk about the money question being settled! The populist stand right where Paul Jones stood when the British commander wanted him to surrender. "We hav- n't begun the fight yet." IS IT SAFE? Since State Treasurer Stuefer has ab solutely refused to tell where nearly $300,000 of the school funds are, the defense that the republican press has put up is that "it is safe." But is it safe? The only security that the tax payers of the state have is a fidelity guarantee company's bond. C. W. Ader son, chairman of the bankers" commit tee on fidelity Insurance, appointed by the national association of bankers, has the following to eay about those companies? "The fidelity companies do not, as a rule, pay their losses, we regret to re port that, during the year 1900, 61 'per cent of the losses reported us were re sisted, contested or otherwise unpaid by the companies who had accepted the premiums and issued therefor some thing that was called fidelity insur ance, the losses to our members from this source being in a single year sev eral times the average annual loss sus tained by our members from the depre dations of burglars, robbers and 'hold ups since 1894." The state has paid $3,000 for that kind of safety and it is the only safety that it has. If Treasurer Stuefer had that immense amount of school funds in an absolute safe place, he would be glad to tell where it was. But he won't tell and the fair presumption is that it is not in a safe place. WHAT BANKIRS WANT A little while ago every republican was declaring that the money question was settled. They had established the gold standard and now we were to have permanent prosperity. The national bankers who run the republican party assembled in Milwaukee last week and issued a new proclamation. The money question is not settled at all, they say, and the nation is on the ragged edge of destruction. Perdition Is just in front unless a vast amount of new leg islation is enacted Immediately. ' No little thing, according to these bank ers, will save the country this time. Wholesale legislation alone will save us. . The bankers now say that to avoid the financial maelstrom that is whirl ing and roaring right in front of us, legislation to the following effect must be enacted: The greenbacks must be retired, silver dollars must be made re deemable In gold, sub-treasuries must be abolished and all the government money put into the banks, a big, cen tral national bank with branches ' in every town and hamlet established and bank notes issued on assets. - Now "the unthinking masses" who make up the voting strength of the re publican party will begin to shout with just as much vigor as they have here tofore declared that the' money ques tion was settled and the gold standard established, that the legislation de manded by the bankers must be en acted. If any one sees fit to oppose this bankers' program or presumes to criticise the wisdom of the proposi tions, he Is an anarchist and the blood of the president is on his hands. Be careful what you say. WON ON A"BLPrr An amusing incident occurred at the republican state committee meet ing, last Thursday night when, after selecting E. ( C. Calkins of Buffalo county to fill the place on the ticket made vacant by- the resignation of H. 1u Goold, Dr. Victor Rosewater got the floor and, in a ringing speech, demand ed that State Treasurer Stuefer di vulge the whereabouts of the trust funds under his control. The commit tee was , about to take . some c steps when the state treasurer appeared on the scene and bluffed the whole ca boodle to a standstill. "If you. again demand a statement about the funds," he exclaimed, angrily, "you will get my resignation instead of a report." There was a long silence and Dr. Rose water's insistent demand was quickly hushed. The treasurer, was in dead earnest about it. . .He absolutely re fuses to tell anything regarding the whereabouts of this vast sum of money and, the republican state committee were - too cowardly to call his bluff. However, it may be that the treasurer would , rather resign than tell where he has these trust funds. It might be be would have to resign if he did tell about them. They WorivAV Sleep.

'All druggists, ioc Hardy's Column New Administration Equal Taxation Bad to Be in Debt Restrict Vot ing Consistency in Party Politics Laggard Making Words Not syn onymous Our Greek Letter Girls Republicans are throwing out hints to the effect that Mark Hanna is no longer president. It is also hinted that he is about to resign his senatorship and retire to a millionaire's life. A colored preacher of this city predicted that Roosevelt was going to stand up for the colored man's rights better than McKinley did. A white man also predicted in our presence that Hanna and Quay, the trusts and millionaires were not going to ' run the govern ment as before. , Other taxpayers, in other countries, are stirring things up in favor of tax ing all property values alike accord ing to what it can be sold for. Eng lish and Spanish people, so with all the other European people, are be ginning to think that a rich man's holdings and rich corporation holdings should be taxed according to value the same as a little home cottage. The hunting parks of the, old wrorld have gone nearly clear. ' Tax' them accord ing to what they1 could be sold for a few acres in a patchfor a farm and a home and the useless, hunting ground will soon be utilized!0' A' party election debt is a bad thing to have laying around loose. Collect the money before you spend it and make no political party debt. We have the same prejudice against church debts that we have against' political party debts. Our money always sticks to our fingers when asked to help pay an old debt of that kind. Churches and parties suffer more under a debt than they would for want of the things the debts would buy.- It is urged that if the government owns all the monopolies that the mil lion or more voters employed could be induced to all vote one way and thus tend to keep the same party in power. The corporations dp the same thing today, as far as they can. Office-holders and government employes could be restricted from voting, at all, just as they are now in the District of Co lumbia. Not a single office-holder, clerk or employe is allowed to vote at all, in Washington. It does not seem to drive anybody out of office" there. Neither do they taper out in number. The fusionlsts of this state have no grounds for complaint against the present state treasurer for not report ing where he has put the state money. MEDICAL TREATMENT FREE The British Medical Institute offers Three Months' Services Free to all In valids Who Call at Its Office Before November 5. , A staff, of eminent physicians and surgeons from the British Medical In stitute have, at the. urgent solicitation of a. large number, of patients under their care in this country, established a permanent branch of the Institute in this city in the Sheldon block, corner of 11th and N streets. These eminent gentlemen have de cided to give their services entirely free for three months (medicine ex cepted), to all invalids who call upon them for. treatment, between now Nov. 5. These services consist not only for consultation, examination and advice, but also of all minor surgical operations.. The object in pursuing this course Is to become rapidly and personally ac quainted.-with the-sick and afflicted, ana under no conditions will any charge whatever be made for any ser vices rendered for three months to all who call. before November 5. The doctoi-s treat all kinds of disease and deformities and guarantee a cure In every case they undertake. At the 1st Interview a thorough examinaton is made, and, if incurable, you are frank ly and kindly told so; also advised against spending your money for use less treatment. Male and female weakness, catarrh and catarrhal deafness, also rupture, goitre, cancer, all skin diseases and all diseases of the rectum, are positively cured by their new treatment. The Chief Associate Surgeon of the Institute is in personal charge. Office houis, from 9 a. m. till 8 p. m. No Sundajr hours. " v Special Notice If you cannot call, Bend stamp- for question blank for home; treatment," TTT 1 The fusion treasurer refused the same thing. Both should be shown up if consistency is a jewel. We believe It would be well for the opposite party to the one in power to appoint a man to inspect the treasury every month and report. Joe Bartley refused to tell where the money was and still re fuses except what little Moore had. Then another thing should be stirred 'up. The constitution permits the loaning of school money only on gov ernment, state and county securities. Now the most of the county bonds have been, made payable after a cer tain number of years, long before they are due. Let the state treasurer drop a line to each of the county authori ties, stating that if they could pay off any of the old bonds hanging over the county that he would furnish the money and then take new bonds at 5 per cent interest. But treasurers don't seem to want to invest all the money for then they would have none to spec ulate on." We saw a sign the other day on the front of a building Lagger beer For sale here. We thought "beer here" would an swer the same purpose, for everybody knows that beer of any name makes laggards of the drinker. It benumbs his brain and stultifies his sensibili ties. Beer, opium and tobacco do not tip their users into the grave quite so quickly as whisky and rum, but they help along on the same road and wreck the intellect evn earlier. Many people do not seem to know there is any difference between a lio and a falsehood. The first is n?ver justifiable, neer right" while th3 lat ter raay be right and justifiable under certain circumstances. A lie, either by wDd or attion, always has as a motive a selfish gain or an Injustice for some one else. Many a lie Is told to make money and many a He is zzo told to Injure another, his reputation or his fortune. To deceive a robber or thief, either by word or action, and thus prevent his robbery or theft, is justifiable, such cases are only false hoods, not lies. There must be a vic ious motive to make a lie iut of a falsehood. So there is a difference be tween an error and a mistake. A pei--son who makes a wrong statement and does not know whether it Is right or wrong commits an error, but if he knows the right when brought to his attention and did not intend the wrong, then it is a mistake. i The Greek letter young ladies of our university met with a cordial recep tion at Minneapolis.

PATRONIZING AIRS Financial Editors Who Tr Open Their Months but They Expose Their Igno rance The Treasury and "Wall Street Editor Independent: I think most persons will find it difficult to under stand,. how money in the vaults of the treasury department and In the re serves required by law to be kept in the vaults of national bank3 can in either case, within any reasonable lat itude in the use of language, be said to be "money in circulation." It will be equally difficult to under stand why it is that money held in the treasury department as "assets of the government" and available to pay cur rent expenses is out of circulation, while 'money held in "cash reserves" of national banks and that is not available and cannot be used for any purpose -(except by calling in seven dollars for one of bank credits) is money in circulation. ' During the last few months, I have asked several leading financial per iodicals, to explain to me the differ ence In the effect upon the financial situation between tieing up money In the treasury department and tieing it up in national bank reserves. I have received some polite answers, but not the slightest attempt at explanation. All are too busy to give the matter at tention "at present." I am apprehen sive they will never have leisure In which they will attempt it. The pat ronizing air of assumed superior knowledge on the part of some of these financial editors (who never open their mouths nor put pen to paper without disclosing their want of econ omic knowledge) is sufficiently ridic ulous sometimes to make a graven image smile. , It has been repeatedly demonstrated that money in the United States treas ury is much more available than mon ey in bank reserves. No one can have failed to observe that every time the eastern banks make loans until they have only a small margin of surplus and they stop loaning (or they are compelled to stop by withdrawal of de posits) they appeal immediately to the department for money to relieve the stringency that necessarily follows. They cannot use the reserves without a violation of law (or without dan ger to themselves if there was, no limi tation by law) and the treasurjr.depart- ment is the only place they can get It. How long the secretary of the treas ury will be able o furnish bauks mon ey, by depositing public funds with out interest or by buying bonds at a high premium, to enable them to keep on expanding credits is a serious ques tion. It is a question that the New York banks have faced with manifest anxiety. The situation furnishes an explana tion of their combined effort to secure the passage of the law of March, 1900, that takes from the government the prerogative to issue paper money and puts it in control of national banks. I have called attention to the fact that between September .1, 1899, and July 15, 1901, the comptroller's ab stracts show an increase of deposits in national banks of $577,853,337 and an increase in loans and. discounts of $460,155,124.86. This indicates, be tween. these two amounts, as already stated, an apparent increase of cash holdings of $117,698,212.14. This illus trates the fact that money said to be In circulation is being constantly drawn into banks, and that money paid out by the department does not under present conditions of banks increase to any considerable extent money in actual circulation. ; ' The increase of national bank depos its was distributed as follows: Central reserve banks... $162,651,995.12 Reserve banks 163,000,025.50 Country banks.......... 252,201,316.39 Total ........... . . . . . $577,853,337.01 The increased cash reserve required by this Increase deposit was therefore distributed as follows: Central reserve banks... $ 40,662,998.78 Reserve banks.. ........ 20,375,003.0 Country banks..... 15,132,078.98 Total ................$ 76,170,080.96 In this connection It will be observed that In the time being considered, while there has been drawn into 4,165 national banks and tied up In the cash reserves the sum of $76,170,080.96 that $40,662,998.78 has gone Into 62 of these banks in New York. Chicago and St. 'Louis; $20,375,003.20 Into 274 banks In 29 reserve cities and that 3,szy coun try banks have only $15,132,078.98 of the aggregate increase of "cash re serves required." This does not look much like put ting more money -into circulation or putting money " Into those banks that are the real, support, of the industries that are creating wealth and not pro moting stock ganSbling. If the estimate of the comptroller is even approximately correct and all banks have increased their deposits in the same ratio the aggregate in crease of all reserves in all banks was during the time not less than $190,500,000. I have heretofore stated that the apparent increase of circula tion as shown by the reports of the secretary of the treasury between Sep tember , 1899, ' and 1 August 1, 1901, was $247,436,008 of .which not less than $190,500,000 is tied up in the reserves of banks. It has already been shown that, as between deposits, loans and discounts, at least $294,000,000 disap peared in banks. It is difficult to tell from .the. abstracts and reports of the department justwhat disposition has been made of the difference for it does not appear in their cash- balances. It is probably accounted for by invest ments that do not appear under the head of loans and . discounts, such as overdrafts, bonds, stocks, etc. No difference from what view the subject Is considered it is evident that there has been very little, if any increase in money . in actual circula tion. In the present condition of the national banking system and in view of the present enormous expansion of bank credits, that' must (If the comp troller's estimates are correct) have reached - a volume of between eight and nine billion dollar, the contin uance of any business prosperity must depend upon-the ,-continued expansion of bank credits.. , No. such expansion can continue unless the government continues to furnish the banks with more money or their Is a rapid in crease in the volume of national bank notes. What will be the end? FLAVIUS J. VAN VORHIS. Indianapolis, Ind. Massachusetts is Loyal A vigorous campaign is that out lined by the Hon. Joslah Qulncy, dem ocratic nominee for the Important of fice of governor of the state of Massa chusetts. The position In that state Is peculiar, but the ticket nominated by the democratic party is one at once most honorable and capable. The dem ocratic state convention there reaf firmed the allegiance of the local party to the principles of democracy as enunciated at the Kansas City na tional convention of last year, and as expressed by the platform adopted by that convention. At the same time, George Fred Williams, who for five years has borne the labors of party leadership in the great Bay State, an nounced his desire to return again to his private pursuits; so the leadership has been assumed by the Hon. Josiah Quincy,- mayor of Boston. Mr. Quincy, like "some other leaders,-saw that the principles of the party, as enunciated at the last na tional convention, are the creed of the party, . and he realizes that they will continue to be so regarded until an other national convention shall change them whether it be three years from now, or not until seven years, or long er. The fact that Mr. Qulncy accepts the conditions as he finds them shows that he is level-headed that, in as suming the leadership of the Massa chusetts democracy, he expects to keep the party together, with a united front, whether he be elected to the office of governor of the state or not. He real izes that the party is greater than any individual, and that the fiat of the party, as spoken through its dele gates at Kansas City, is not to be ignored; and there is, evidently, no disposition on his part either to ignore them himself, or to permit them to be ignored by others.
