DIR. BARTLETT AND THE sUrLER.

How the Reverend Gentleman Preached to
an Audience at 81 Head.
Washington Special
The following good story Rev. Dr. Bartlett,
of the New York avenue Presbyterian Church,
is printed here:
Just about the close of tho war, whom green
backs were abundant and entertainments in do
mand at points where largo numbers of troops
were stationed, tho Rev. DIR. Bartlett, who was
then lecturing. received telegram from some
one at Cairo H., asking his terms for a lecture.
Five hundred dollars and expenses answered
the Doctor, hoping to get rid of the annoyance
and danger of so long trip. Name your own
time terms satisfactory, was quickly wired back.
So in due season the Doctor started to fill his
engagement. He was to speak on Friday
evening but owing to several accidents common
in those days, he did not reach his destination
till late Saturday night. He was most cordially
welcomed by the chairman of the lecture COM
mittee, whom he found to be an enterprising
sutler Apologizing for his non appearance, no
was told that Monday night would 10 quite as
well. His hest asked him if he could not preach
a sermon on Sunday evening The Doctor said
he would deliver one of his lectures ON the
GLORY and Shame of Language appropriate to
the occasion. To his astouishment he found
Sunday morning that he was advertised in an
extra bulletin to deliver his grandest and most
eloquent lecture that evening at s. per ticket
He expostulated, but in vain. lie was told thai
he must keep his promise
Expecting to find a small audience at such
large tariff he was surprised with a crowded
house, and four major generals on n front seat
1t was all clear gain for the sutlor, who had
sold tickets ahead for the regular lecture. and
used the Sunday night service to tako in the
army of contractors officers and others then
thronging Cairo who were willing to pay almost
any price for an evenings entertainment.
''They treated me like prince" said the
Doctor, but l never preached Sunday night
before or since where tickets of admission werS

prominent Democrats of the country, to Join
the Georgia Democrats in their jubilee over the
election of Cleveland and he obeyed the sum-
mons. His presence resulted in a spontaneous
ovation to him, as was natural, and that
alarmed the free trade leaders to the extent Of
publicly denying even the hospitality the South
to him. 1t was the foolish opposition of a few

people to prove to the country that they are
Glad to be hospitable to man like Randall re-
eardless of their agreement or Disagreement
with his tariff views and the invitations to
Louisville Nashville and other important South
ern centers logically followed.
Mr. Randall will go South with no idea Of a
crusade against any set of men or against any
sentiment He will mingle with the Southern
people with the same freedom that Speaker C.l-
hsle and Colonel Morrison were invited to min
gle with the people of Philadelphia, and it will
do both sections much good to bring the repre-
sentative men of each face to face with the peO-
pie OF the other. Doubtless Mr. Randall casts
wistful eye on 1888, or 1892 if Cleveland should
command a second term, just as ali presidential
candidates do all the time; but the assumption
that he proposes to assail any Southern leaders,
or to force any new ideas upon the Southern
Democracy, is entirely unfounded. His South
ern journey promises to be an important event
IN current political movements but its chief inn
portance is derived from his foolish enemies,
rather than from any purpose Of himself or
friends

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
A Southern Paper FayOrs 1t Because 1t Will
Insure Tranquility at Home"

New ORLEANS, La, Dec. 26.-The Picayune,
in double-leaded leader, speaking of the
American policy and the Nicaragua treaty
says:
1.-THE country is ripe for new departure, one
worthy our great Nation, and one that will
stamp itself on the whole history of North
America We must adopt policy Of acquisi
tion, of territorial aggrandizement to the south
ward. 1t need not be accomplished by
armed invasion. The Nicaragua treaty is
the opening wedge. Let us drive that home.
and by investing 500, coo in a ship-canal
there, secure the country American enterprise
will soon annex the whole of Central America
from that base line" 1t concludes: Sectional
discord has happily ceased; the South is pri
mariy and deeply interested in turning the
tendency of enterprise and the march of empire
southwark, aud her statesmen, by at once
championing bold and brilliant policy in that
direction, will open up a new era for the entire
country, and map out safe and short road to
prosperity and continued national growth, and
insure tranquility at home"

THE CHICAGO BALLOT FRAUD.
A Claim that Gallagher, Mackin, and an Tn
named Man Are the Guilty Persons.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26-About fifty prominent
citizens met this afternoon to consult in regard
to the further prosecution of the investigation
into the recent election frauds in the Eighteenth
ward Numerous speeches urging the necessity
of pushing the inquiry to the utmost limit were
made. A. NJ. Day, of the citizens sub-commit
tee of FIVE, said substantial progress was being
made, and that the committee was then at work
on an important clew.
Murray Nelson said the thing necessary was
money. He would subscribe $500, and would
pledge the last dollar he owned if necessary.
M. q. Stone, editor of the Daily News, said the
committee of five had evidence that rendered it
certain that Gallagher forged the tallysheet. and
that Gallagher, Mackin, and one other person,
who was known, had stuffed the baot-boX with
fraudulent ballots. He could convince any three
of those present, if desired that this statement
was true Mr.. Stone went on to say that the
present county grand jury had begun the inves-
tigation of these frauds for no other purpose, he
believed, than to defeat the ends of justice
The sum of $1,000 was subscribed to push the
investigation. Resolutions were passed express
ing entire confidence in the sub committee Of
five, thanking it for its work so far. and pledging
it the support Of money and influence for the fu-
ture. 1t was also decided to retain j. n. Jewett,
Writ Dexter and Judge Beckwith as attorneys.

Reasons Why Those Located in New York

Reasons Why Those Located in New York
State Will Renew Their Charters.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26-'It is reported, /
see" said Comptroller Cannon, that nearly all
the national banks in New York State intend to
withdraw their bonds and retire their crcula-
ton when their charters expire, during the com
ing year. A paragraph has gone the rounds of
the newspapers once and is on it's travels again,
which states that nearly all those New York
State national banks will not ask for renewal
of their charters, but will continue business
under the State law. This may be true, but 1
do not think there is anything at all in the
story. On the contrary we have been notified
by great many of them that they desire to ex-
tend their corporate existence, and the charters
will be renewed. The paragraph emanated
at first from New York paper which
has undertaken the task of wiping out the
tional banking system. I see no reason why
such thing should be done by the banks of
New York, and there is one very good reason
why no such action should be taken. In re-
cent opinion the Attorney general Of New
York State held that, under the new banking
act, the stockholders in State banks are indi-
held. Stockholders in national banks are liable
to an extra assessment of 100 per cent 1t
would seem, therefore, like bad stroke of bus
mess for bankers to impair their credit by re
ducing the amount of safeguard for depositors.
1t may srfely be said, think that the story is
oopard

THE IMPRovIDENr CLERK.

He Spends His Money Freely, Though lie
Expects Soon TO BE Out of a Job.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 26-Contrary to all ex-
pectations the holiday trade of Washington
business men was about as good this year as
usual. 1t was expected that the fear of whole
sale removals would act as a preventive to
money spending Since the result of the cleo
ton became known there has been remarkable
disposition to cut down expenses among depart
mental employees The effect of this upon the
early holiday trade was felt in every branch of
business to a marked degree. Merchants and
dealers were despondent and discouraged
at the outlook, and those who had pur-
chased heavy stocks Of holiday goods
began to feel that they would have
to close up. Within the past ten days, however
the economical streak seemed to have passed off
with the advent of snow The stores have been
literally crowded to suffocation. 1t seemed as
though every man, woman and child in the gov
ernment service had suddenly decided to spend
every cent he or she possessed. The result has
been the customary sales and q decidedly buoy
ant feeling in business circles

menting upon business, said to the correspond
