(From Our Own Correspondent.)
March 29.—The sensa-
of
Harrisburg,
tional failure of the People’s bank,
Philadelphia, containing over $500,000 of |
state money and the suicide of its
cashier has added fresh emphasis to the
fearless statements of Hon. John Wan-
amaker that Pennsvlvania is in the
grip of a relentless and shameless oli-
garchy. Here was a bank, owned and
of only $150,000, but which contained
$505,000 of the people’s money of which
today no one can say how much will
be saved or lost.
The crash of the People's bank was
preceded by the suicide of its cashier,
James S. Hopkins, and the collapse of !
the Guarantors’ Trust company, also a |
Philadelphia concern run by politicians.
The People’s bank, a politiical concern,
whose principal business has been to
hold large deposits of the peonle’s
money and loan it out at interest for
the benefit of a handful of politicians,
worked hand in hand with the Guaran-
tors’ company, also a political concern
that Insurance Commissioner Lambert
has shown rotten to the core.
A NOTORIOUS POLITICAL BANK.
It has been a notorious fact in Penn-
sylvania for vears that the People’s
bank, of Philadelphia, with James Mc-~
»Ianes as president, has been the dis-
bursing concern for every state poli-
ticlan of note. It held large sums of
state funds, and in return for this it
discounted notes of state politicans,
holding the state money as security
for these political loans. In an inter-
view in Washington the other day
Senator Quay stated that he had a note
in the bank. No statements have been
made by any other state politicians as
to their indebtedness to the concern.
By this strange chain of suicide and
disaster is fully proven all that has
been charged against the corrupt man-
ipulation of the state treasury. It is
now explained why the Republican ma-
chine, through its henchmen and
mouthpieces in the house and senate
in the last corrupt legislature fought so
hard to prevent the state from collect-
ing interest on its money held bv
banks and bankers over the state. It
wanted to have the benefit of this
money to trade upon. The spectacle
is now presented in the calamity which
has overtaken this bank of state
money, taxpayers’ funds, being heaped
up in vast sums in a bank that had
only $150,000 capital stock.
NO MONEY FOR SCHOOLS.
All over the state complaints have
been made about failure to obtain
school founds long overdue from the
The statement was
given out by the state treasurer that
there were not funds on hand to meet
these calls, but on last Fridav, while
school districts .were clamoring for
their cash and were told that there
was none on hand, the state treasurer
had $505,000 in cash to his credit in a
rotten bank !! This is a problem for
the people of Pennsylvania to study,
and also to solve at the next election.
Hon. John Wanamaker stands for
decent politics and honesty in the state
treasury. He has pledged his honor
as a man and a Christian gentleman
to see that the money of the peonle is
cared for and is not expended uselessly
and thrown away in jobs for corrupt
politicians. He proposes to carry the
fight against political rottenness and
the Quav machine into every school
district in the state, and if the pecnle
want release from this machine that
is grinding them to the earth and rob-
bing them through purchased elections,
as was the case in Lancaster county,
where $227,000 was spent to defeat Sen-
ator Kauffman for renomination, they
can obtain a release by placing Mr.
Wanamaker
This is the sentiment of the decent
Republican newspapers of the state.
The Philadelphia Press, the organ of
the Republican party in point of brains,
integrity and position among the peo-
ple, speaking of the People’s bank
crash, says:
ROTTEN DBANKS—ROTTEN POLI-
TICS.
“Rotten politics and rotten business
have gone hand in hand in the failure
of the People’s bank.
been in politics, and rotten politics. It
was organized by politicians for poli-
ticians. It stood for corrupt combina-
tions between corporations, politicians
and public officers. All its profit did
not come from this, but a very large
share did. It has always had ‘in-
fluence.” It has always profited by it.
Organized by an ex-state treasurer, it
has always had state funds. It has
held city funds. Jt has held other
It was a clearing house for
personal profit, some doubtless legal
and some not, but none would bear the
light of day.
“Politicians brought their personal ef-
forts to this scheme for profit. Public
officers brought the public money in-
trusted to them. The bank received fit,
dealt in it, profited by it and divided
the spoils. By law this is legal. It is
sanctioned by long custom. None the
less it is wrong. Public money is/a
public trust. If there is interest on it
the state should have it. If there is a
profit in its deposit the taxpayer should
get the bencfit of it. Any other course
is morally, if not legally, a diversion of
public money to private profit.

|
The unfortunate |
cashier of the People's, who has paid |
with his life for his fault, who for a
score of years had seen a political pull
turning public moneys to private gain,
laid hands at length on the property |
of the bank and used it for his own
gain and that of others.
“Doubtless he expected to repay it.
So have all the public officers in this |
state who have used their legal power
over state and city moneys for private
profit. These examples are contagious
and it goes odd but that weak men
will improve on an ill example, and the
result is the ruin of a bank, the loss
of life and a reputation more precious
than life and another deadly blow to
business confidence in this city.
“These blows are inevitable as long as
rotten politics exist in this state. If
the state treasurv is made the center
of a great network of operations under
which the interest on state monev is
divided between banks and politicians
some banks are sure to be rotten. They
sanctioned though it be by law, with-
out suffering for it. The
munity suffers. The gigantic political
of all three between public
politicians, political workers and cor-
rupt voters is not merely a political
scandal, it is a rotten moral wrong
which destroys all concerned.

CORRUPTION IN COUNCILS.
During the past week the whole
country has rung with the story of cor-
ruption in Philadelphia councils. How
councilmen were offered bribes from
$500 to $5,000 to vote for the Schuylkill
Valley water bill, a scheme whereby
the water system of the city was to be
run in such a way that it would ulti-
mately cost the city from $40,000,000 to
$50,000,000.
that they had been offered bribes of
$5,000 each, while another confessed
under oath that he had received $500
cash to help bring the nefarious bill
out of committee. Newspapers all
over the Union have been pointing the
finger of scorn at Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania because of their political
rottenness. And what is the showing?
LEADERS’ LEAGUE AGAIN.
Every one of the men implicated in
the corrupt and malodorous bribery
proceedings are men who were identi-
fied with the late notorious Leaders’
League, of Philadelphia, the machine
combination that represented Senator
Quay and his faction in Philadelphia
politics. The men‘ found guilty charged
with complicity are the friends and
henchmen of the Leaders’
This league, it will be remembered,
was declared in these letters to be a
sham and pretense. It pretended to
be for purity in politics, and it spent
days and weeks denouncing Secretary
of State David Martin and the regular
Republican organization in Philadel-
phia as boodlers, political crooks and
everything vile that it could think of.
The Leaders’ League was for ‘‘purity
in politics’ it said. What is the re-
sult, in the light of the investigations
of the courts? That the friends of the
Leaders’ League, the lieutenants of
that organization are the men who are
charged under oath with having of-
fered bribes or paid money to secure
votes for this corrupt measure. This
is a sample of their purity in politics.
These are men who wanted to control
the state in the interests of good gov-
ernment and pure politics.
BUSY AT THE BOURSE.
The past week has been a very busy
one among the businc:s men at the
Bourse. The work of p sing the cam-
paign of Mr. Wanamaker is going
ahead with determination and speed.
On Thursday last a campaign commit-
tee was formed, with Elias Deemer, of

and pledges him its earnest and un-
qualified support and the use of all
honorable means to secure his nomi-
nation and election, thus delivering the
commonwealth from its present polit-
ical thraldom and restoring to the peo-
ple their own.”
Mr. Wanamaker will this week begin
a tour of the state with an auxiliary
of nearly 100 speakers, which will take
him into every county in the state. He
expects to make over 100 speeches be-
fore the date of the state convention.
He proposes to carry the story of of-
ficial corruption and party misman-
agement by word of mouth to every
fireside. He is armed for the war, and
the peor le of Pennsylvania, from all
that I can gather, will see a campaign
in progress soon the like of which has
hever been seen in this state since the
fommonwealth came into existence.
