The Order of Mr. Harrison Regarding the Mail Carriers Kemaina Intact. Thtsre is sorrow among the Crawfordsville Democrats who wanted "jobs"" in the post office under Mr. Bonnell's snccossor. The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal yesterday furnished them the following cheerful news:

WASHINGTON, March 25.—It appears from numerous inquiries which are pouiing into Washington from Anderson, Kokomo, Marion, Muncie, Craw furdaville, Lafayette and a few other cities in Indiana that an impression prevails that the mail carriers in. cities of that class are not secure under the civil Bervice laws, aud wholesale dismissals are anticipated under the incom ing postmasters.

The Journal correspondent today in "vestigated the situation fully at the Postollice Department. The order of

Jan. 9, 1892, which is intended to se euro in their places carries at all free delivery poBiolJices, has not been re vi'kfil or interfered with, and there is no probability that it will be disturbed The order itself, however, has a loophole through which partisan postmasters might cri»p out if they desired, were it not for a precaution taken against it by Postmaster-general Wanamaker. The order of Jan. 9, last contains this pro vision: "The civil service commission will at once proceed with the organize tion of boards of examiners, the holding of examinations and the preparation of eligible registers. As soon as eligible registers have been established at any ollioe the rules will go into effect at that olliee."

On the face of this order, dismissals of carriers could yet be made by post masters and they would not be reqnired to assign causo for removals, and Demo crats could be appointed to take the vacancies created by dismissed Republi cans. On Jan. 23, last, however, Post master., General Wanamaker issued an order directing that the voluntary resignation of a letter caarier shall be a bar to his reinstatement that carriers shall be removed only for violations of laws and regulations that carriers removed for cause will not be reinstated unless the charges upon which removal was effected are disproved, and no appoint mente of carriers at free-delivery offices shall be made except from the substitute list until the list is exhausted, ana promotions from the list shall be in the order of their senority. This order is still in force and PoBtmnster-general Bissell and the Civil-service Commission say it will remain in force. It was in tended to be, and now acts as a stay in any proceedings toward dismissals for partisan or other purposes during the time in which examinations are being held and "eligible registers" are being prepared. Thus the carriers are now and will continue to be protected in their places by the law.

Secretary Doyle, of the Civil-service Commission, stated to the Journal correspondent to-day that if any Postmas ter violated either the law or the Post muster-general's order. o£ Jan. 23 he would be prosecuted and the dismissed clerk or clerks would be reinstated, at any partisan dismissal would be in violation of law and orders. The in coming Democratic postmasters in In diana will have very little patronage now at free-delivery offices. :-.L

Ulimate, Fruit, Flowers. Earthquake Floods Touohed. To tlio Editor TIIK JOUIINAI..

YALOXA, Cal., Contra Costa county, March 21, 1S!)3.—In my'previous letters I ha7e snid nothing about the clim'ltp, fruit, earthquakes imd lloods. 1 will try to .1o -o in this one. Tho floods tt-e not very inrgp, but are of grout importance Ui the fruit r.'iiecro, as the watirs overflow the lar.d, bringing a slime which is of great benefit to the uit trees. In the Vnnter lie ater in .o streams is apt (o riee very quickly. A person may go over a bridge in the evenirg and see Email, slow stream of water about, thirty feet below. In the morning he could not pass over the bridge. The Portuguese do not generally know the value of the water, and one sometimes sees tho American farmers digging ditches to let the water in, and the Portuguese making dikes to keep the water out.

Of course the floods only come in the valleys. Before I came here I thought that there were sometimes terrible larthquakes here. Now I have passed through no

than five earthquakes

since I came. You may judge of the great devastation ihey made, by the fact that I passed through all of them and never knew it at any time till I was told what I had gone through. Such are California earthquakes. I have not been able to make a good judgment upon the climate, as this winter like the winter in the East, has been exceptional ly bad. Still we have had a great many pleasant days in which it would have been impossible to wear an overcoat without being roasted alive. There have been flowers ont all winter, but it was not until a short time

Bgo

that,

the wild flowers began to come out. It looked rather queer to see the roses mirgueritos, callalilies and geraniums growing all through December, January and February. They are growing yet, and will probably grow all surnmei Before I came here I thought that fruit

so plentiful that it could be had almost free of charge. I soon found out the truth, however. True, fruit plentiful but the people recognize the value of it and sell it to the evening markets at good prices. One must

own

an orange grove to enjoy oranges tin restricted. Oranges are not quite so cheap as I had thought. They range from 20c. to sometimes 40c., but are generally 25c. or 30c. per dozen. Of course the highest priced are the finest oranges. There are none like them Indiana. I am .writing about the Naval oranges, not the common ones. The common ones are cheaper. The Naval oranges are what they call the budded fruit and are seedless. They are much finer eating and therefore cost more. The apples are good, but not so good an the Eastern one. They are generally six pounds for "two bits," or a quarter, I know but little about peBohes, for this is not thair season. It is no wonder that so much is said about the fruit of California, for they take so much care of their orchards. They let no grass grow in their orchards, for they plough them They fertilize the ground and do every thing in their power to get fruit. They do not have much fear of the cold weather spoiling the buds. As this is wine country, grape growing is specialty, and vineyards are to be seen all over the country. The vines do not look like the vines of Indiana. They do not grow on a trellis, but are pruned and strengthened till they look like young treeB. Thay are planted in rows, »nd one may look over acres of ground and think that he sees an orchard of Q9wly planted trees. Wine is so plenti ful here that ODO sees in every grocery store an advertisement like this: "Good table claret, 35c. a gallon." Temperance workers take note of that.

Just now the Highbinders are having a hard time in Chinatown. The police are aftei them. They have cut down their flags, broken up their meeting places, arrested a great number and stopped their blackmailing work completely. They had been killing each other a little too much of late, and had to be stopped. Chinatown is under police law at present, and every High binder found by a policeman is searched for weapons and then kicked away, any weapons are found he is put in jail and prosecuted. This strikes them as rather hard and they have about stopped fighting.

While in Oakland I went to Rev, Kummer'e church and heard him preach, He looks just as he always did. He did not know me at flrst~but was glad to see me after he recognized me. Hie church is a tall wooden one, just opposite the city hall. He has a large con gregation. The friends of Rev. Kum mer in Crawfordsville will be pleased to know that he has a society in his church oalled "The Immortals." They give a tenth of their income to the church, Their number is 100. He expects to have a thousand.

Q0ES FOE THEM.

The Weekly Bagged Reuben Goes For Oon Cunningham and Others. All is not lovely in the camp of the Philistines. The Review Saturday made the following announcement to the world:

Since the name of Con Cunningham has been mentioned in connection with the Consulate to Belfast, Ireland, Republicans in town are hiving a good denl of trograded or lower the rate of railroad fun over it. They assert that Cunning- fare and the motive for railroad travel is ham proposed to a prominent lVpubli- largely withdrawn aud tho world letrpcan politiciiin, one time last summer, to graded." jein the Republican party and use liis nlluence for the election of Harrison and the Republican ticket if. this man state an absurdity, and it is no loss so and his friends would use their influence to say that it a farmer could got a loan io the event of the success oftheRepub- of money without interest that his mocan national ticket, in his behalf to se-! tive to improve his farm was largely cure him the position he now seeks from withdrawn. But on the contrary if one Cleveland and he could secure twenty or two thousand millions of dollars

more to vote if he did. John Johnson, ex-county recorder, a Republican, has asserted about the same thing. It Cunningham has been seeking to carry water on both shoulders, he should not succeed. The public has no use, this administration no need of any man who is all thing to all men, who is a Republican one day, a Democrat the next, and may be a Populist the next. We know nothing about what Cunningham may say regarding these assertions. He should be heard first before an" opinion is formed and charges filed, but his appointment should not be made until his exact political status is known. Important ministerial, consulate or other positions abroad should not be filled by any negaiivo man, or any one who IIBB not certain certain avowed fixed politial relief and action.

It is a certain fact that Mr. Cunningham did make advances to a prominent Republican of Crawfordsville of the character stated in the Review. The fact that he did so might be used to good advantage by his opponents did they know of it, and Mr. Cunningham will probably not feel any too grateful to the Review for giving a matter, which has heretofore merely been whispered about as a good joke, publicity in cold type. Not content with sticking the knife into erring brother Con. the Review furnishes as a side dish the following little ticl bit which makes the animals roar: "James Hanna, Oon. Cunningham, Oharles Bowers, Stephen Lee, Walter Hulett and many more patriots in tbi6 county, are all wanting offices under •he new administration. Business must lie dull with many of these gentlemen, judging by their anxiety to get offioe.

Dlioy won't all get positions is sure, and "onio of them should remember that there is such a thing as defeat."

Her Wit Gave Her a Seat.

One day last week a large Irishwoman got into a Sixth avenue oar, and the car being full, she was obliged to stand. She rode for many blocks quite patiently, first resting herself on one foot and then on the other. Still no one got out.

With a face that Harrigan wonld have giyen fifty dollars for she exclaimed, "Well, sin't none of yees going home, or be yees all going to ride into the next county?" "No, we are all going to see Lillian Kennedy in 'She Couldn't Marry Three.

The Drummera' Party,

The members of the Traveling Mens' Association and their wives were handsomely entertained Saturday night by Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Harter. Profs. Ramsbrook and Davis -furnished the music for the occasion and during the evening elegant refreshments were served. It was a most enjoyable affair and all present were admirably entertained.

Birthday Party.

Master Claude McCoy was ten yeara old on Saturday and in honor of the anniversary entertained about fifty of his young triendfHn a most hospitable manner. Choice refreshments were served and various games and amnsements indulged in. It was a very pleasant and happy occasion for all the little folks.

A00UMULATI0N OF I5TEBEST, (Copyright Reserved.) But the ourrent history of the past 25 years refutes it as a fallacy. That interest is necessary to give circulation to money. Sometime during the 60's an artiole was published in the New York Herald to prove that it was necessary that the reserres of the banks must draw a large interest to enable them to continue. The six per cent, compound notes and the 7:20's were largely used, and as they were gradually redeemed the bank reserves that were profitable were lessened, but the banks were continued nevertheless. After they had no interest bearing re'Berves. Later on the bonds deposited with the government bearing a six per cent, rate of interest to secure their currency were retired, and they were compelled to bank on bonds bearing a lower rate of interest, and finally insisted that their circulation should be continued them on bonds bearing no interest. This the attorneygeneral held was not lawful because their circulation must be secured by the loaned deposit of interest bearing bonds.

Here we see that at one time they could no no business, or rather would be forced to go out of business, unless tho reserves they were required by law to hold were interest bearing. But as the interest bearing reserves were paid off they could still oontinue business and in the end insisted that they be allowed to continue when neither reserves nor the bonds securing their circulation

case of the banks

bore interest. In entirely deprived we see that they weri '"tJiwit which it of an interest income, v. ito go out was olaimed they would h* ing otit of business. But instead of nnber* of business, they increased in D. and oapital with only the ordinary nees that is done by banks of discoun. and deposit. It would be just as reasonable to say "Lower the rate of postage and the motive for correspondence is largely withdrawn and the world re-

To say this of a lower rate of postage, or a lower rate of railroad fares, is to

coulU be loaned to the ptople at a low rate of interest or no interest, it would give a marvelous impulse to circulation. How often we see business enterprises crippled or stopped because the use of capital costs too much, that would be to their utmost capacity with a much lower rate of interest than the present. It is not interest that keeps money in circulation, but the use of it in productive enterprises.

But the main argument of the article quoted from is the following quotation: "Will logic, will common sense affirm that money rental is not as legitimate as bond rental, it is practically the same in effect. A owns a farm for which he receives a rental of S300, and none deny its propriety, for not even Henry George denies the right of bond rental or bouse rental. But A sells the plaoe to for $5,000 and takes B's note. denies the propriety of interest and so refuses to pay. Shonld he accomplish such an end he would simply rob A of the rent value of his bond. Now what matters it to whether he pays rent on the bond to A or interest on his note for it?

Moses affirms that they are not the same. It has been in the case of interest and still is as in the case of slavery, it is profitable and a great many reasons are given in defense of it, as already ob served by calling it money rental.

The commentators since King James' time modify the meaning of the law as meaning only a law rate or the legal rate, and simple interest only, that sim pie interest only is allowable, that the law only condemns compound interest. But as the law was given that the pso pie might enjoy the fruit of their own lubor, no other construction will do that does not forbid any rate. Not only does Moses forbid usury aDd increase but all the prophets for a thousand yours after him forbid both inorease and usury. It does not mutter how low the rale may be, it will in the end eat out another' substance. Soon after the wars of Na poleon and when England resumed spe cie payment theeffeot of the law leaving to the borrower and lender the rate of interest to be paid on money loaned, or on the forbearance of contract showed its effect on the nation. The tu 'stance of the people flowed into the coffers of the rich, in one vaBt stream.

Dr. Clarke was writing his comments at this time and in commenting on the 8th verse of the 18th chapter of Proverbs, "He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor," says "O that the names of all those unfeeling, hard hearted consummate villains in the nation who thus take advantage of their neighbor's necessities, to enrich them selves, were published at every market cross, and then the delinquents all sent to their brother Bavages in New Zealand. It would be a happy riddance to the country."

Dr. Clarke was more conservative at the earlier period when he wrote his comments on Exodus. After quoting Leigh he says: "It is evident what is here said must be understood of accumulated usury or what we call compound interest. Perhaps usury may be defined unlawful interest, receiving more for the loan of money than it is really worth."

But when we leave the safe construc tion of no interest,as the meaning of the Mosaic law and as understood until within the last three hundred years, no •an can tell what money is worth, when you attempt to measure its worth by the rate of interest that is to be paid for it. For the purpose of a particular transaction it may be worth 50 per cent, and for another it may prove not to be worth 2 per cent.

If the Sheriff should sell cattle on execution for $5, worth §20, the speculator might pay 50 per cent, for the use of the money that would enable him to buy them, but in that case he wonld only be the agent through whom the farmer's loss would be transferred to the pocket of the lender.

To see how wide the difference between the rent for land and interest for the use of money and forbearance on contract is, let us take a farm as an illustration. At the giving of tho land by Moses that yielded produots that sold for $1,000 annually. The products were consumed from year to year as produced, tor the comfort of man and beast, and the land produced a crop of that value every year since. The total value of produots for 3,400 years would be $3,400,000. Now let us suppose that the first crop of the land had been sold for $1,000 and the money loaned at 2 per cent, the note due, prinoipal and interest 100 years after date would amount to $3,000. This sum again for 100 years when it would

amount to $9,000. Loaned again on the same terms it would amount to $27,000 at the end of the third 100 years. Loaned again on the same terms at the end of the 4th 100 years it would amount to $81,000. On the same terms it wonld amount to $243,000 at the end of 600 years not more than the ordinary annual revenue of a moderately wealthy country, but continued in the same way to the end of 2,400 years it
