TO RELIEVE DEPRESSION.
K Plan For Converting Land Into
Bankable Seennty.
Edbeard Atkinson, the Boston Politi
cal Economist. Weaves a New
Scheme For Getting Money.
Tiwforicwing interesting communica
tion from Edward Atkinson to the Man
< ufacturers' Record presents a novel plan
for increasing the value of real '-state an
security for loans :
Boston, Mass.
Editor il^nvjU' f" rtrd Retwd:
I observe that an article which i lar.c-lv
wrote in the Century magazine upon the
Torrens system of registering land titles
has attracted the attention of General
Alexander and othei of my Southern
j friends. I may ventuit to call attention
? to a matter whereby land may be con -
| verted into a securitv on which money
! ran be borrowed from banks and bank -
| ers without the necessity of making a
conveyance of the land as securitv fur
each loan. It is a plan which has not
yet been adopted, and to which there
may be objections unknown to me, but
| in ail but one respect the suggestions
| that I make are a part of the common
practice in many places, especially in
! Philadelphia and Baltimore. What "I
! suggest is this :
i The conveyance of land by th* ordi
i nary method is by registry of" deed, un
: der the guarantee of a "title insurance
| company and on condition of the pav
[ ment of a ground rent without any
| promise to pay a principal lump sum se
j cured in part by mortgage in the usml
way. T do not promise perpetual ground
rents, but ground rents terminable at the
option of the buyer or lessee on given
j notice, not terminable at the option of
j tlffe seller or lessor. It is the common
J Mortice. notably in Philadelphia. In sell
! Aad convey land" subject to a terminable
rent under an insured title t" capable
men, who. being in good health. also
get their' lives insured for an amount
equal to the valuat;on of the land. The
lessees then join a building society, ami
thus procure the means for building
house on the leased lot, becoming ulti
mately their own landlords bv paying up
their assessments in the building* socicty
and by ultimately compounding the reut
| by payment at a valuation in one sum
[ either in installments or in one pavmcnt
The plan which I suggest is "to add
j one single element to this method, name
j ly, that the obligation to pay rent upon
j the >an:l should be represented by w hat
may be called rent or rental certificates,
to be registered at the office of the title
insurance company, containing provisions
j both in the conveyance and in the rental
| < ertifioate that on a given notice at a cer
| tain period in advance of a payment of
I rent at such office of registry the "lessee of
j the land may become entitled to purchase
j eich or all of these rent certificates bv
| depositing at such office of registry a
given sum of money for each certificate,
j ^ Example: Let k be assumed that John
Brown buys or leases from James Brown
j a !<>t of land of which the valuation is
j H.0W, upon which he builds a house
I valued at IM'O. The ground rent is to
i be a year. I his rent is represented
j by ten registered certificates of rent, each
; ??f per annum, provision being made
that at anv period three months in ad
vance of any part of the rent becoming
due, John Smith may file a written no
i ticc at the registry that, on the payment
: of *100. together with the rent then due,
he desires to become the owner bv pur
chase of reot certificate No. 1. and so on
through No\ >. 5 up t-? 10. When he
has purchased all the rent certificates at
$100 each he will have become hi.s own
landlord. ^ These rent certificates consti
| tute a lftn'upon the land as good to him,
i John Sm-th, us they are to the original
; holder, and lie need not cancel th? n^
Or let us suppose that John smith. be
i ing the owner of land free of encum
i brauce. upon which his house stands and
which constitutes his f tnu. executes rent
. certificates recorded upon that farm with
a trust company, title insured. and him
j hims.lf becomes the possessor of such
j certificates^ would no; these become the
j first 1 en upon the land, not as a mort
: gage, but as a lien, subject to forced-sure
i if tJSl rent is not paid. \\ ould not these
transferable lent certificates then become
! available to be deposited with banks,
j bankers or trust companies as securitv for
| temporary loans from season to 'season?
I am not a lawyer and cannot tell what
techni- al difficulties there mav l>e in the
' way. but this seems to me to be the easi
est way. under our present form of resris
i try of title by deed, to put land info a
form iu which it can be assigned as se- !
curity for temporary loans without going
through an examination ?>f title! and '
I without the execution of papers of con j
veyance and mortgage each time that a I
[ loan is made.
In presenting this subject, permit rne to I
! call attention to t ie fact tint the < ra/.e
, for more depreciated money in the' foim
of depreciated silver coin or for govern
ment papci or for government loans, has
about run its sh"rt aud dangerous course
I The South, of a]J sections of this count rv.
t being dependent neon the sale of its ex
cess of product for foreign export, has a
greater in'eiest in maintaining the present
standard of value on t i ??* unit of a t'old
dollar than anv other section of ^this :
country. Its lack has not been want of
money, but want of credit? want of bank- ;
ing iostitur ons. and want of facilities
; for borrow nig money even on tioodsetur
| ity. The South, of all sectioub of this
j countrv. ran lea>t afford the discredit of
j debused silver, and al'-o possesses fhe
j surest control ov>i the gold ^f the world. 1
[ if it chooses to maintain th> standard of
value. It. therefore. s.*m-> mobable that !
the movement which is now being made
j for taking the tax the circulation of
. State banks, supplemented by rn- :hod<
which may render it easy to borrow true
' morey of the be*t kind ->n the V-t kind
of security, will presently pl^ce the South
ern States again on the r<?ad to progress
and to greater and sreater development.
In is with thi*end in view that 1 pre

MR. MORGAN ON SILVER
The Aiaoama 8enator Speaks for the
Stewart Free Coinage Bill.
! WAS!ti5GT05, D. C.-Mr. Morgan
XDera. . Ala.) who had given notice thit
he would address th<< Senate on the silr*r
question, cilled up the unfinished busi
nes.4 -Senator Stewart 3 bi!! for th* fre*
homage of gold and silver. j}
Mr Morgan prefaced his remarks by
stating that he did not irtend to make a
I silver speech, bat simply wished to sub
; mit :-ome preliminary renmks Hev,
wanted to hear from the Minneapolis '
J Convention before doing ?o. It w-.s like
ly that the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sher
mau? would b' a conspicuous figure
there, at whhh manv darts would b*>
; fired, and he; foy. would like to fire a
| few darts at him
Mr. Morgan said he had something to
! say to hi?- friends on the Democratic side.
: The State of Alabama he said, had always
been Democratic except once, when it
J cast its vote for General Grant agai; st
Horace Gree r With this exception that
State had been Democratic until yes
terday. ^Whether it w ou'd h* Democratic
to-morrow he did not know. Yesterdav
j somcth ng happened that brought to him
j a mournful suggestion of the future. I
j There was going to be some difficulties
i w i smoothing out the tiuuble? there,
j These difficulties were not personal of
{ polit cal, but came from dissatisfaction
I of the farming community, in that State. !
whcf had felt^tbr pressure of want amid !
great abundance. They dreaded the visit# j
of the tax gatherers. The people of Ala- i
I nama had done all they could to uphold '
| the Democratic party, which they believ- I
; ed was in favor cf broadening the money I
j system of the country. They relied on j
I the Democratic party to relieve them !
; from these difficulties, because they be
. neved the Democratic party was for sound !
j money, ba*ed on the equal free coinage
; of gold and silver. Mr. Morgan brieflv
j reviewed the formation of the Farmers'
Alliance, noting its obie< :ts and scoring
it for its alleged fallacious doctrines. It i
j had in its ranks, he ;>aid. a lot of schem
| mg p 'litieians, who presented a number I
of wild schemes to the people, including I
i the Oeala platform. He would inform '
j his Democratic friends that if they could
j do without the vote of Alabama in the neit
election they need not listen to him. The
j trouble in thai State was traceable direct
b to the fact that the Senator from Ohio
j (Mr. Sherman) had been able to demone
: tizc silver, and the Democratic party had
I not enough courage to remoneti&e it.
i he Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) said
j it was not a political question. The
Senator from Missouri (Mr. Vestl said it
! was not a political question. He (Mr.
Moigan) said it was not a political ques
I j??', They sa^ ^at because in the
divisions of the houses of Congress on
the silver question they had not divided
on p irty liues. No political party." there
fore, was responsible. but both parties
[ were afraid that in the existing political
| condition.- they could not do without the
aid of the men who controlled the gold
| of this question. He wanted to take
: it out of politics. He believed we could
j serve our country better now by coming
; together, irrespective of party, and dein?
; what was best to lestore silver as a money
metai as it was in 1873.
Mr Mo gau concluded with a referen e
i to 'the deplorable financial situation of
| the country.
Hardly had Mr. Morgan been seated
when Mr. Hale (Rep Me.) called up the
I Pension Deficiency bill already passed by
the House, and it was passed in a per
I functory manner in less than throe
minutes.

Germany's Consumption of American
Corn Quintupled Within a Year.
Washington, D C.? Uncle .Terry
; Ru>k is greatly pleased over our increas
j rd exports of corn to Germany. Figures j
; from German sources show that in the
tirst quarter of 1891 Germany took 1.111,
424 bushels, and in the first quarter of j
1*92 5.847.852, an increase of 4.736,438 ?
j bu-he's. Referring to this showing, the
Secretary observed that it was extremely j
i gratifying as indicating the value of
the w?rk on behalf of American corn in
j Germany, and thut it was, indeed, more
1 than any one could have expected in so
j -short a time. Col. Murphy having been (
transferred from Great Britian to Ger- j
| many only in Octobcr. 1891.
"Measuring the results." said the Secre- '
t.?ry. "by the appropriation provided ,
therefor by the last Congress, we have
increased sales of nearly ?'3,000.000 bush- |
els of corn, as the result of $625 expense, j
j The truth of the matter is. -r he added, j
? that this work ought to b; pusheJ |
j euuestly aod simultaneously in all the
| i "intrie^ of northern and central Europe."

were brought from Washington Id the
audience was Gov. Holt and the officers I

President A. B Andrews, of tne Rich
mond & Danville Ra lroad; Grand Sire

Df. .1. W. Carter, pastor of the church,
read a passage of Scripture, Rev. Dr T.
E. Skinner prayed, and Rev. Dr. J. J.
Hall, pastor of the Baptist Tabernacl",
read another selection. A short sermon
was preached by Rev. Dr. Carter, from
the text: ' Thou knowest not what a
day may briug forth," in the course of
which he alluded to Polk's earnest work
for the church in the State ancl country.
A quartette choir sang, "Abide with
mn," and Dr. Carler announced that the
body could be viewed. A thousand peo
ple passed in single file by the
casket and took a last look at
the face of the dead. The expression was
calm aud natural. The pallbearers took
the body out of the church, and it was
then taken in charge by other pall-bear
ers appointed here. These were J. M.
Heck, N. B. Broughton, Jno. E. Rae, G.

procession, which was a very large one,
then made it? way to Oakwood Ceneterv.
In a carriage was Mrs. Tolk and her three
daughters. The burial place was on the
slope of a hill and when the procession
arrived theie more than a thousand people
were found on the spot. The three preach
ers took their positions at the head of the
grave. Rev. Dr. Carter made some re
marks. Rev. Dr. Hill prayed and lie v.
Dr. Atkinson pronounced the benediction.
The party which came from Washington
left at 6:15 on ifce return. There was
much curiosity to seK Peffer and Macune,
particularly. There were no Alliance
ceremonies whatever, although the order
has an impressive burial service.

New Orleans, LA.? the river Mon- >

erally speaking, an island. Crevasses \
above, crevasses helow, the raging river i
in front and the rapidly rising Lake j
Pontchartrain in the rear, have hemmed j
the city in and traffic on three roads has
been suspended. At midnight :
the gauge read 18 feet above high water

At six o'clock the first break was re- j
ported. It happened at Belmont place. j
about twenty miles above the city on the
Missisai pi Valley road . 75 feet of the
levee gave Way at one clip and the water
wiihra an hour's time had dug a channel
twelve feet deej). The Valley tracks
were quickly unde^|wo feet of water and
all traffic was stopped. ? \
Following closely on the reports from j
Belmopt c =me the news of three breaks

one mile of each other. The first break
occured at Ston?y's near where a crevasse

started at a fifty fvot race, but widened so
rapidly that by noon it was one hundred
feet "wide and ten feet deep and still
breakings The second break was at
Villere's planta*iftfiv a half mile away
Fifty feet was its width. Two hours af
terwood the levee gave way. The third
break is at the Merrick place, a mile below
Villere. It was twenty feet wide and
hopes are entertained of closing it . The

Hardly had the engineers recovered
from this disastrous news when a tele- j
phone message was received from Wag

side of the river, stating that the ent:re
levee at that point, several hundred yards
in length, had toppled into the lushing

BLAINE~AMlTT^ESENATE.
Talk in Maine of Electing Him to the
Seat Occupied by Mr. Halt.
Augusta, Me.? The question as to
whether Mr. Blaine's political career is
ended has begun to attract the serious at
tention of his most devoted friends in
this State, and it has been discussed by
many of his townsmen who do not want
to see him retired from public life. Next
winter the Maine Legislature will elect a
United States Senator in place of Eugene
Hale, who will have held that office foi
twelve years. Mr. Blaine's name is be
ing mentioned for the place, and it is
said that a movement will be started in
his interest. Mi. Ha'.e is a candidate for
re election, and his plans have long been
laid to get it. In Maine they have a cus
tom of returning men to both branches of
the Legislature for a second term. Two
years ago Mr. Hale started his Senatorial
fight for securing the elect1 on of men
committed to his re election. These men
will be returned this winter with others,
who will be pledged to the Ellsworth
statesman's support. If Mr . Blaine should
consent to be a candidate, Mr. Hale would
have an advantage over him at the ovit
aet. j
Mr. BlaW is ignorant of the talk. He
would undoubtedly have the influence
and suppo/t of Tom Reed and Captain
Boutelle. Dinglev would naturally grav
itate to Blaine, but he would do nothing
to imperil his chances for Frye's place in
1895. A fight between Blaine and
Hale would shake up the Republican
party in Maine. It is not unlikely that
Gov. Burleigh would jump into the arena
as a candidate. Mr. Blaine's friends are
in earnest in this matter. At the coming
Portland Convention, when the Republi
cans nominate their candidate for Gov
ernor. it is said that a resolution <m!1 be
S resented recommending Mr. BlaiiK 1<m

HOW To WASH CLOTHE?.
The following is a Western lady's
methDd of doing her own laundry work;
Place your boiler on the stove contain
ing fire pails of water, and when the
water is boiling hot ad"d saluoda and
eoap sufficient to make good suds. Put
the clothes that you wish to boil first in
a convenient tub, and as soon- the water
is boiling pour enough over the clothes
to thoroughly wet them and -let' them
soak for a few minutes. Now add more
water to the boiler, and as soon as it is
boilipjg hot wring out the clothes in the
tub and put them in the boiler and boil
for twenty minutes. While this first
batch is boiling prepare the second let
as you did the first. At the end of
twenty minutes transfer the first batch
of clothes to the washing machta^ and ?
rub them a few minutes while tbe second
batch is boiling. They will then be
ready to rinse. I wash colored clothes
the same as white clothes, eigei?t new.
ginghams 01 calicoes. Heat the first
rinsing water for the flannels; also rinso
them in warm water. Borax, salts of
tartar and salsoda makes a good washiug
fluid. I find the secret in washing is to
have the water hot. Wringing the
clothe* tnrough the wrin^e* several
times with boiling hot suds will take out
much of the dirt and will help very
materially. ?New York Herald.
MUSLIN CURTAILS.
Very few women like to use their best
lace curtains during the summer. The
curtains get dusty, and after they are
washed they never look quite as nice as
they did before. Besides, laundrying
lace curtains wears them out more than
a year's wear at the windows. ? And so,
sooner than run the risk of spoiling her
treasures, the good housewife puts nway
her lace curtains in the spring and sub
mits to bare windows during the sum
mer. ?'x _
A very pretty substitute for the lace
curtains may be found in muslin oheT.>
The muslins may be white, with colorei
dots in it, or it may be plain, white
dotted muslin which b familiar to every
one.
Tie colored muslin h, however, more
artistie and will not so quickly show the
dust and wear of summer.
Fasten the curtains upon the pol?? or
cornice and then cut them off just long
enough to touch the floor. Now take the
curtain of the cornice and gather on all
sround its edge a narrow rutfk or a side
plaiting of plain white muslin or mull.
Tin ruffling should be of very thin ma
terial, so that it gives somewhat (he ap
pearance of lace.
Tie back tbe curtains with strips of
the muslin, edged with the same ruffling,
and turn a bit of Piffling over the hook
which holds the curtain back, so h> to
make a neat and pretty finish. ? New
York Commercial Advertiser.

spending its life in groping blindly uU- !

is a mistaken one. The tnolaig in reality :
the most "ferociou3 and most active of

sire of a tiger, and you vt<o?ld fcave a
more terrible beast than the-^pefld has
yet seen. Though with de fecit* e pow
ers of vision, and therefore ipcapeble of
fallowing its prey by sight, It would be
agile beyond conception, springing this
way and that as it went along, leaping
with lightning quickness upon any
creature which it met,, reading it to
pieces in a moment devouring ^ the y*t
warm and bleeding flesh, and instantly
seeking with hunger insatiable, for a
frwb vfctim.
"ThJj creature would, withput hesita

voracity that it would eat. twenty or
thirty such snakes in the course of a day .
^Tith one grasp of its teeth and. a .tingle
cluch of its claws it could, disembowel^

it would kill them all fay the mere lull

Fear is a feeling which the mole seem*
"never to entertain. Iff conflict with an
adversary of its cwn kind its efforts' at?
exclusively directed to injuring its op
poaent, without regard for its own pr?*
tection. An examination of the akela- ,
ton of a mole will repay your trouble, m>
wonderful is its adaptation of itructUPO.
to its manner of life. It looks likes
veritable tnachiuefor digging, and ithta .
several accessory bones which are not
found in any other living beast, being
discovered only in certain fossil forms. .<
"The mole is gifted with incredible
activity. It pursues the earth woruas on

that is untiring, and, when it has caught ,
one, it devours the prey like a starving
