THE robbery of the Newark bank by its
respectable cashier, aided by the negli-
gence of the directors, has given great
start in money circles. Stockholders and
depositors are wondering whether the
Newark case is an average one, and
whether the bank vaults generally con-
tain anything in the tin boxes and enve-
lopes labeled as having valuable con-
tents. 1t is likely there will be gen.
eral overhauling of the affairs of banks
throughout the country. OF course it is n
communistic suggestion to propose that
wealthy and respectable bank officials
shall showup, but then they that have free
souls it touches not them. Let the CALLED
jade vince.

Food for Virginia Democrats.

shonld the few Republicans certain to be elected
hold the balance ofpower, II is quite probable that
the Democrats will propose u union with them for
the election Of straight Republican court and
Senator The preference ofthc Democrats for Re-
pdbcuns over Readjusicrs has been manifested
on frequent occasions. Rather than see Riddle
berger or Lewis elected to the Senate II Is hardly
to be doubted that the Democrats would readily
vote for General Wickham or some other pro.
nounccd Republican. Anything to beat Malone"
Is the Democratic maxim.-Ercaing Star (Bourbon
organ.
How often we have asserted the above,
and how mad it has always made Bour-
bons, of whatever stripe. The cat is now
let out of the bag by the Star. That paper
has all through done peoman service for
the Bourbon cause. When it seemed best
it was for Strdightout Republican ticket.
When the Bourbons could not catch
enough Republicans to make respecta-
bic party, and had to take its squad of
Straightouts into the Bourbon corral
then the Star abandoned all restraint and
plunged wildly into the thickest of the
Bourbon fight. One by one the Straight.
out roses faded, until only Wickham,
De2endorf, and few stragglers are left
to tell the tale of the Bourbon Republican
alliance. And now at the come-out il
transpires that the great struggle of those
virtuOus Democrats, who are so shocked
at the votes of General Malone in the
United States Senate, is to get General
Wickham into Johnston's place in the
Senate. No wonder Wickham loves the
Bourbons.
"Whnt makes the lamb love Mary so7"
Tho eager children cry.
"Why Mary loves the lamb, you know"
The teacher did reply.
But the Wickhamites propose to take
security against Bourbon cheating. They
want to elect handful of members to
the Legislature and hold the balance o
power. Then they can threaten the
Bourbons with Readjuster unless the
Bourbons will vote for Wickham. Ant
it is such hucksters as these who affect to
be the only pure people in Virginia. The
Star says that the Republicans will hold
the balance of power, and that in that
case it is probable "he Democrats tOii
propose union Uih them for The election o
Republican court and Senator RATuEr
THAN SEE RTDDLEBERGER OR LEWIS ELEcrEI
TO THE SENATE, 1T is HARDLY TO DE DoUBTET
THATTHE DEMOCRATS WOULD READILY voTl
FOR GENERAL WIcKHAM OR SOME oTHEl
PRONOUNCED REPUBLICAN," Now we know
where to find them. The Democrats o
Virginia ought to thank the Star for it
information. A vote for Daniel, then, fo
Governor is u vote for Wickham 70

The Feeling in France.
INTERVIEW WITH GEN. MOVES.

New YORK, Aug. 19.-From the Times:
France, arrived yesterday with his family. In
conversation he said the French were exceed
ingly Mortified and indignant when they heard
of the shooting of President Garfield.
He did not regard it as the result of a con-
spiracy, but the work of wicked fanatic, who
acted for himself alone. The French were very
sympathetic with the government of the uni
ted States and with the people, and were very
solctous that the President might recover.
France is the most prosperous country in Eu-
rope to-day. The death of the prince
imperial dealt a staggering blow to the
Bonapartlsts, and to-day the three mOnarchial
parties in France, even combined, would not
present formidable front in a contest against
the republic. When the conversation turned
on De Lesseps' Panama canal scheme, Gen.
Noyes said the first thing the promoters
of the Panama canal project should
do would be to see that the Columbian
republic and the United States had distinct
understanding and agreement, which shall be
satisfactory to both the government and the
was done, Gen. Noyes did not believe the canal
would be success, even if it were possible
to construct such canal as is needed.
Passing on to the subject of the great ex-
odus from Europe into the United States Gov.
Noyes said the prosperity of the United
seates ives attracting large emigration from
the old countries, and the military system
in Europe greatly helped the
exodus OF thousands on thousands
of industrious men, who hope to enjoy in the
new world free and more prosperous life than
they had in the fatherlanti. Gen. Noyes leaves
this afternoon for Washington, and in about
week will go to Cincinnati.

SIOUX CONFERENCE.
Terms Agreed Upon by Which the SIOUX
Indians Yield a Portion of Their Lands ia
the Ponca and Cheyennes.

Terms Agreed Upon by Which the Sioux
Indians Yield a Portion of Their Lands to
the Ponca and Cheyennes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The Sioux and
Ponca chiefs met the secretary of the interior
and the Indian commissioner again TODAY
about the transfer of the land to the Poncas.
Red Cloud, speaking for the Sioux, said they
would give each Ponca family $40 acres of
land and each Ponca without family 16O,
that the Sioux regard the land as property be-
longing to the Poncas anyhow, because it was
willingly. Papers formally making the trans
fer were drawn up and signed. Red Cloud
asked about Sitting Bull. Secretary Kirk
wood replied that Sitting Bull is in charge of
the war department yet, and the interior de-
partment has no authority over him. Red
Cloud said that the Ogallas and Brules who
were with Sitting Bull formerly belonged to
his (Red ClOud's) reservation, and he would
like to have them back. The secretary said he
would assign the Ogallas to Red Cloud and
Brules to White Thunder as soon as provis-
ions and supplies for them could be sent to
these agencies.
After details OF the transfer of Sioux lands
to the Poncas had been agreed to, further
conference was held to talk about the return
of the band of Cheyennes known as Little
Chiefs band from Indian Territory to the
Sioux reservation Little Chief said he had
been taken to the Indian Territory against his
will and desired to get back to the land the
Great Spirit gave him. Red Cloud and all
other Sioux chiefs said they were willing to
receive the Cheyenne's as brothers, and would
provide them with land. The conference then
adjourned until tomorrow, when details of
the transfer OF the Cheyenne's will be made.

ANOTHER BURGLARY.
The Cracksmen Still at Work Making
Their Nightly Visitations.


The house of Mr.. Charles A. Baldwin
No. Is Western avenue, was burglarized
in the small hours of yesterday morning
The burglars were doubtless experts
They cut away the wire screen of front
parlor window; loosened the catch of an
inside blind by breaking or cutting the
Stats, and raising the window, entered
the house. They assembled the stairs to
the sleeping apartment of Mr.. and Mrs.
Baldwin, and with nippers turned the
key which was kept in the lock, after
locking it. They took from Mr.. B's
pants pocket wallet containing some
SIG in money, took silver watch which
he was wearing while his gold watch was
being repaired, and with it Il valuable
gold chain. They also took a $75 gold
chain belonging to Mrs. B. (her gold
watch now being at the watchmaker's for
repairs) and some other jewels, and es-
capped with their booty. The amount Of
property taken was about 5000. Mrs
Baldwin's wallet, containing more than
twice the amount of money that her hus-
bands did, was overlooked by the rob-
bers.
Mr. Baldwin has theory in regard to
this robbery which undoubtedly is true.
He came down to the Office of G. B.
Thurston in the evening to meet one of
his customers, who paid him some $500
The Office is plainly visible from the
street, and any passer-by could have seen
the money counted. Not wishing to car
ry so large an amount home with him,
Mr.. Baldwin stepped into the jewelry
store of Messrs. Myers s. Finch and de
posted it in their safe. His theory is
that the thieves saw the money counted
over and supposed that he would take it
home with him, and he has no boubt but
he was shadowed from that time until the
| robbery took place.
