Mr. English’s Mortgages.

A Garfield neAvspaper prints two columns in display type of the mortgages which Mr. English has owned and foreclosed in Indiana during the lakt few years, with the names of the mortgagors and the amounts claimed or realized. Foot-notes are added in which an attempt is made to show the unfeeling manner in which Mr. English has taken his due. If there is any moral conveyed by the catalogue in question it is, that whoever owns a mortgage and forecloses it when it is due and obtains a judgment for any deficiency is a rogue. These make very hard lines of financial doctrine for the national banks and for the ten thousand Republicans all* over the country who loan money on bond and mortgage. A supplementary moral in this interesting tale maybe thatit is criminal and socially outrageous for a .candidate who is a mortgagee to take his lawful interest and debt, while it is praiseworthy for another candidate to take $329 of dividends by way of -a loan to which he was not entitled, or to sell his vote and influence for $5,000. — New York World.
