THE LAW VIOLATED. SECRETARY OF TREASURY'S ASTOUNDING DEALINGS. 3errctary Gnge and tli Standard Oil Hank —Th® Pacts and tlie Law Re specting an Unprecedented Favor from the Government. On July 2 last the government sold to the Standard Oil National City bank the old custom-house property at Wall and William streets for $3,265,000. The sale was made under provisions of a special act of congress providing that the purchaser of the old custom house should permit the government to continue to occupy it until the new custom-house was ready for occu pancy, the government to pay as tenant of the old building 4 per cent upon the purchase price, or about $130,000 a year. The day after the sale James Stillman, president of the Na tional City bank, went to Washington, taking with him a certified check, drawn on his own bank, for $3,225,350 —all but $40,000 of the full price agreed upon. This check Mr. Still man personally handed to Secretary Gage, who immediately handed it back to President Stillman to be deposited without interest In the National City bank, says the New York World. In other words, none of the three and a quarter millions of dollars which the National City Standard Oil bank paid the government for the United States custom-house six months ago has ever for one hour passed out of the bank's control. The bank has had not only the use of the money every day since to loan out at interest for its own profit, but it has at the same time been receiving rent from the gov ernment for the custom-house. The old proverb that one cannot eat a cake and keep it is thus set at defiance, for the National City bank owns the custom-house and yet retains the mon ey it paid for the custom-house. Secretary Gage has never turned the proceeds into the treasury, as required by section 4 of chapter 337, under the terms of which the sale was made. The "held bacx" was for an other purpose. The deeds of the cus tom-house are still in the treasury de partment at Washington. The title to the property has not therefore passed to the National City bank, and the city of New York can collect no taxes upon the land, as it is nominally gov ernment property, although the Na tional City bank owns and receives rent for it. The $40,000 held back was therefore merely a legal excuse for not proving the title and for evading tax ation. The I.a it Which Win Violated. The law authorizing the sale of this property was as follows: Chapter No. 337, section No. 4: "That the secretary of the treasury is hereby authorized and directed to sell at public or private sale, to the high est bidder, after duo advertisement, but for not less than $3,000,000, the present custom-house property in the city of new York, bounded by Wall, William and Hanover streets and Ex change place, and to deposit the pro ceeds of the sale, after the payment of the usual incidental expenses, in the United States treasury ao miscellane ous receipts derived from the sale of government property." Two General Laws Whirl* Apply. Section 3,617, Revised Statutes: "The gross amount of all moneys received from whatever source for the use of the United States, except as otherwise provided for in the next section, shall be paid by the officer or agent receiv ing the same into the treasury at as early a date as possible." 3,618, Revised Statutes: "All pro ceeds of sales of old material, con demned stores, supplies or other prop erty of any kind shall be deposited and covered into the treasury as miscel laneous receipts on account of 'pro ceeds of government, property," and shall not bo withdrawn or applied ex cept in consequence of a subsequent appropriation made by law." These facts are admitted by Secre tary Gage's subordinates as to the de posit of the check in the National City bank. The only defense is (first by Supervising Architect Taylor of the treasury) that the money was "cov ered into the treasury," in the lan guage of the law when it was placed in the government depository, the Standard Oil bank. "The money," said he, "very likely was never covered into the treasury, but deposited in some one of the gov ernment depository banks." He did not know why the property was still being recorded as In the gov ernment's possession and thus kept oil the city tax books. "That," he said, "was not the government's business. It was for the New York tax depart ment." Favors to One Ilnnk. Four transactions of the government with the National City bank, as the World has shown, have netted the fa vored institution these PROFITS: Profit on Union Pacific—Pay ments of 133,000,000 In part dis tributed among the United States depositories by National City bank, but the greater part retained by the National City bank on deposit $ 350,000 Profit on "financing" the pay ment of the $20,000,000 indemnity to Spain—estimated 300,000 Profit on custom house deal—ln terest on $3,265,000 for ISO days, at 6 per cent, $96,337; rent from United States treasury depart ment for ISO days at 4 per cent, $64,224; city taces saved for ISO days. $36,000 196,561 Annual Interest on internal rev enue receipts i-.nd other govern ment deposits in the City bank, now $17,000,000, an increase of $4,000,000 since Dec. 2, when the last report of the bank was published 1,020,000 Total estimated profit to the Na tional City bank from govern ment favors shown since Secre tary Oage entered the cabinet.. 1,862,337 Capital stack of the National City bank, $1,000,000; percentage of profit from government favors on the capital, per cent. 186 So great have the Standard OH trust and the government's favors made the National City bank that the stock holders Increased the stock tenfold — slo,ooo,ooo.—New York World. RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS. When that great, fertile parent of trusts, the Republican party, permits one of Its most trusted servants to speak of them in the light of evils, there must be some truth in the hue and cry against them. That the peo ple are right, as they generally are upon great and burning questions, Mr. Comptroller Dawes is fain to admit, and with Ills weather eye open to get on the good side of the dear people, and secure enough votes to elect his angelic friend, Mr. McKinley, he pledges the Republican party to the elimination and abolition of all wicked trusts. In fact, he declares the Q. O. P. will do anything and everything, even unto sacrificing before wooden gods and idols of every style of man ufacture, rather than lose votes. The people of this country have been sur feited with anti-election promises, and have heen gulled, hypnotized and be trayed so many times that it is not improbable it will take an unusual ef fort to again mislead them. But let us hear what Mr. Dawes has to say on the subject of trusts. It was at a "love feast" In Springfield. 111. Mr. Dawes finds three things in our present grave domestic problems: "First, cheap raw materials and the elimination of competing buyers; sec ond, higher prices for the public and the elimination of competing sellers; third, the more economical production of commodities by concentration of capital." With this third one, the il limitable Dawes says, "The people of the country, as a whole, find very little fault." Mr. Dawes is talking through the Washington style administration hat. The concentration of capital for any purpose is the greatest grievance the people of this nation has ever had to contend with. He should have said that all of the people comprising the first and second categories find little complaint, and that when it comes to that, the 99 per cent of the people of this country are the strenuous and persistent fault finders. The random talking comptroller of the currency must know, if he stops to think for himself, and not through Mark Han na's phonograph, that the people of this country are under the impression that his efforts to mislead are caused by his anxiety to foist McKinley and the concentration of wealth upon an overburdened people for another term, and then put It beyond the power of the people to relieve themselves. The Sword In a Republic. London newspapers report that Sir Alfred Milner, premier of Cape Colony, is apprehensive of an uprising there tB behalf of the Afrikanders, and has asked authority to declare martial law. The British cabinet, after grave con sideration, refused the request, saying that serious as the situation is, it does not justify so radical and extreme a measure. In Idaho a few months ago a small mob wrecked a mill belonging to a mining company owned by the Stand ard Oil "crowd." There isn't any pre mier of the Coeur d'Alene, and the sheriff of Shoshone county, the con stituted authority, did not demand any unusual aid in keeping the peace. But the mining company demanded, and the governor ordered martial law, and the president has kept federal troops there ever since to enforce it. though all the men suspected of complicity In the outrage, and all suspected of even a remote sympathy for them, have been driven out of the county. Moral —A simple, hard-working cor poration in these republican United States wields greater power than a titled premier under British effete monarchy. Truly, "the republic is op portunity."—-Chicago Journal (inde pendent). Republican Party Committed. The Atlanta Constitution is not at all dismayed by the fact that several Democrats voted with the Republicans on the currency bill: "Several Demo crats voted for the currency bill; but they were men who had trained under the Bucknerism of two years ago and came from constituency from which nothing had been expected, and which contributed nothing to the Democratic backbone in the campaign of 18961 On the contrary, the great mass of Demo cratic members, representing the mili tant Democracy of live and eßective constituencies, stood together and voted against this attempt of the Re publicans to fasten the gold standard upon the country. "The result of the vote taken has committed the Republican party to a declaration which it has always avoid ed heretofore, and upon which it has been able to blindfold the people. At the same time, it has helped to clear the atmosphere and to reveal the fight ing strength of the Democratic dele gation and thus to make the future less doubtful than it has been heretofore." He Should Shelve I,anna. Kansas City Star: As an evidence of genuine good faith. Mr. McKinley should express the wish that Sena tor Hanna shall keep his hand out of the next convention. This would set the public mind completely at rest regarding the thorough political regeneration of the president and might convince even his enemies that his feet had been taken from the mire and clay and placed upon the rock of ages.

An English paper has the following to say on the reasons for some British wars: "From all appearances it does not take much provocation to set John Bull at war. William the Conqueror made war on France because King Philip had made a slighting allusion to his embonpoint. More recent wars have been brought about by trivial in cidents. In 1840 a large trade in opium was done by British traders in China, and the Chinese government at length forbade the importation of the per nicious drug by our sailors. The edict, however, had little or no effect, and the trade continued, till at length the Chinese imprisoned a number of Brit ish subjects and we promptly declared war. Our second war, In 1856, ought never to have come about if its origin is taken into account. A Chinese pi rate hoisted the British flag at his mainmast, and was afterward seized by his government as a bloodthirsty ad venturer. Had he failed to run up our flag his capture would have been re garded as a good thing here, but as it was, it was taken as an insult, and we made war on the Chinese for refusing to apologize. The horrors of the In dian mutiny will still be remembered by a minority of our readers, and the cause which led to it Is a matter of history. Cartridges greased with cow's fat were served out to the Sepoys, who refused to use them on the ground that the cow was a sacred animal. We in sisted. and almost without any warn ing. the terrible massacres followed, which were only avenged at an enor mous expenditure of lives and money." Huf a Bottle Cured Me " About thirty years ago I bought a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor to stop my hair from falling out. One-half a bottle cured me. A few days ago my hair began to fall out again.

MILLIONS OP WOMEN USE CUTICURA SOAP exclusively, for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and healing red, rough, and sore hands, in the form of baths for amioying irritations, inflammations, and chafings, or too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes, for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sanative antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, and especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, hath, and nursery. No amount of persuasion can induce those who have once used it to use any other, especially for preserving and- purifying the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and children. CUTICURA SOAP combines delicate emollient properties derived from CUTICURA, the great skin cure, with the purest of cleansing ingredients and the most refreshing of flower odors. No other medicated or toilet soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands.
