Editor Independent: As a citizen I desire to thank you for the fearless utterance of truth found in yesterday's article. O, that the public press, that great educator, would be, indeed, "independent"! When will the American people learn wisdom? The greatest menace to American liberty is the present practical and prospective homeless condition of the millions of her people, be that from any cause it may. This great fact stares us in the face with an awful reality. The past 30 years have been the great money-loaning period of this nation. Resides our national, state and municipal bonds, mortgages on private property have accumulated to an alarming extent. Capitalists have grown rapidly rich, and to invest their fast-increasing capital in first-class mortgages has been the highest of their ambitions. Rankers, private money ioaners,newly Hedged lawyers.real estate dealers, insurance men, etc., representing foreign capitalists, have Hooded every town and village of our country with advertisements of money to loan. Under this incentive and temptation the people have become reckless. With a desire for a larger barn, a better house, elegant furniture, a line equipage, nice piano, or what not, we have responded to these advertisements, signed the mortgage, spent the money, until many of us have forever bargained awy our birth-rights. We used to 6ing, " Uncle Sam is rich enough to buy us all a farm.'' That day has passed away. Like an old man in his dotage lavishing all his affections and earthly substance on a second wife and neglecting his children, poor old Uncle Sam has taken to his embrace, monopolies, trusts, rich railroad corporations, foreign capitalists, to whom he has given his lands and is now borrowing money, a hundred million dollars at a time, to still further favor his pets. Thirty years ago our fathers left to us their children these lands and homes unencumbered that we might enter into and enjoy-the fruit of their labors. Rut we have recklessly mortgaged our rich inheritance beyond the hope of redemption. No America will ever again open its portals to free soil for our occupancy. We still make a faint attempt to revive the patriotism of farmer times in singing, as of old, " My country, 'tis of thee. Sweet land of liherty, Of thee I sing! Land where our fathers died; Land of the pilgrim's pride; From eyery mountain side. Let freedom ring!" or say with Walter Scott in his "Lay of of the Last Minstrel," " Is there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself has said. This is my own, my native land'." when standing by our side is some old Shylock, with under jaw stillly set, harp angles protruding down from ach corner of his mouth, and as he fixes his unfeeling, unsympathetic, un patriotic cold, gray eyes upon us we hear the coarse, guttural tones of his voice in response to our sentiment, "Yes, subject to my mortgage! my mort gage!" our patriotism dies out and we slink away from his presence like cringing cowards. Can a person be inspired with the swtet spirit of American liberty and be

obliged to cill any man his lord and master? People without homes will have no true liberty. In the language of Mr. Zimmerman, of the Rankers' association, whom you quote, they "will not quarrel with their rulers." To worship (Jod under his own vine and figtree, none daring to molest and make afraid, is a beautiful figure of Scripture, symbolic of the highest type of religious liberty. So the same figure of speech is equally emblematic of the highest type of civic liberty. The two are inseparably woven together. There can be no religious liberty without civic liberty, neither can there be civic liberty without religious liberty. The history of nations is abundant proof of this. These are not merely pessimistic words, but are cold, solid facts that cannot be denied and are staring us in tha face. With the millions of mortgages on the homes of the people, many of them beyond the hope of redemption; with a debt to foreign capitalists, whose yearly interest payable in gold exceeds the surplns products exported; with 81,200,000 of private mortgages on Marshall county; with S 1,000,000,000 ex

pended by the people in intoxicants; with all this we, as a people, will have to be awakened to the fact or very soon be sunk to the condition of serfdom under the tyrannical rule of "Imperial Capital." Then, truly, we will be in a condition where we will not care, or, at least, dare, to "quarrel with our rulers." J. S. MARTIN. A WIFE'S TYRANNY. Sota of the Awful Things She Does tm Annoy Her Husband. She contradicts him at the head of his own table, Interrupts, his anecdote to set him right on an utterly unimpor tant little detail say the date of atransaction, which he makes the 7th of Sep tember and she asserts was the 8th; the Interferes in all his arrangements, and questions his authority in the stables, the field, the church, the consulting-room; she apportions his food and regulates the amount of wine he may take; should she dislike the smell of to bacco she will not allow him the mosi transient whiff of the most refined cig arette, and, like her brother with his victim, she teaches the children to de spise their father by the frank con tempt with which she treats him and the way in which she flouts his opinion and denies his authority. If she is mor affectionate than aggressive she ren ders him ridiculous by her effusiveness. Like the "Sammy, love," which roused Dean Alford's reprobation, she loads him with silly epithets of endearment before folk, oppresses him with personal attention and treats him generally as a sick child next door to an idiot. All out of love and Its unreasoning tyranny she takes him into custody la public as In private life and allows him no kind of freedom. Robust and rigorous as he is, she worries over his health as though he were a confirmed Invalid; in the hey-day of his maturity coddling him as if he were an octo genarian bordering on the second child hood. She continually uses the expression, "I shall not allow my husband to do so and so;" or, "I will make my husband do this or that." Never by any chance does she confess his right to free action, bound as he is in the chains of her tyrannous affection. In the end she makes him what she has long fancied him to be, a backboneless raletudinarian, whom the sun scorches to fever and the east wind chills to pneumonia one who has lost the fruit by "fadding" about the flower. Chicago Chronicle. THE LANDLORD'S ADVICE. He Icstrueted the Drummer in the Ar of Making a Sal. He had arrived In a southwestern town with his patent washing machine warranted to do the work of ten women and save three-hiLus or tne soap but before doing any business he thought it might be a good thing to advise with the landlord of the hotel,, says the Detroit Free Press. "Jest a washing machine, is It?" queried the landlord, as he looked the thing over. "Yes, a washing machine, but the best on earth." "Orter be a wheel of fortune or sunthin of that kind to be a go, but mebbe you kin hit eome of 'em. Thar's a dog fight and a horse race tomorrer, and it'll be a good day fur you." "Are there any peculiarities to look out far?" inquired the agent. "Wall, ye, a few. You'd better begin biznss by callm' up all hands to take a drink." "I see." "If you hev to talk any more tell 'em thar's another drink ahead." "I understand." "If the old man Jones comes in with his boys tharll be a row on the 6treet. They ar bad folks and shoot on sight. Keep your eye peeled, and if you see any signs of a row ask the hull crowd to drink." "Yes, but " "Look out for dog fights. If one taJtes place on the street you can't hold the boys a mlnit. Keep your eye on the canines. If you see a yaller purp begin to bristle up to a bob-tailed brindle yell to the crowd to step over and moisten." "Yes, but by that time the whole crowd will be half drunk," protested the agent. "Sartin it will, and that's what you want, of course. That will give you a chance to skip out and take your life with yoy, and If you make a stop anywhere within a hundred miles I'll send on the masheen purvided thar's anything left to send. Nothin like knowin' how to handle one of these crowds, my friend. Did you ask me to take somethin In advance of tomorrer?"
