Schemes to Lessen the Surplus.

1t has been said that it is impossible to con-
duct the government honestly with an over
flowing treasury. In order to build up ana
maintain manufactures and monopolies, Con-
gress keeps up high tariffs, and robs the peo-
pie annually of many millions of dollars not
needed for the economical uses Of the govern
ment. While the government collects sur
plus, the generosity of our national Legislators
is unbounded and often oversteps conshtu-
tional limitations. There are two schemes
now on hand to absorb some of the excess
revenue and more will be invented. One is
to grant Gen. Grant widow an annuity OF
$4,000 and the ranking privilege, and another
is to establish home for disabled eX- Conted-
crates. Next, it is likely, will be a proposition
to nav to Mrs Hendricks her husbands salary
up to March 4th, next, with perhaps an annual
pension. There is no warrant for any such
expenditures, and no necessity for making
them. Mrs. Grant is rich having over $780,
600; the ex- Confederates have managed to get
along for over twenty years without govern
ment aid, and Mrs. Hendricks is abundantly
provided for 1t is time for economy now,
and reduction of the unnecessary burdens OF
the people.

In a recent conversation Mr.. Robson
quoted a singular remark of the actor JEFF
ferson to the effect that Ellen Terry pos
sessed the genius of insanity. He also
repeated a story of the same actors anent
w. s. Gilbert, the dramatic author. Talk
ing to Gilbert, one day, Jefferson said: 81
have been reading your exquisite Wicked
World, Mr.. Gilbert, and felt that you could
write the most beautiful comedy of our
generation if you would only portray a
heroine with a heart. Why don't your"
Because 1 have never met a woman with
a heart from whom I could draw such a
heroine" was the cynical remark. This is
both tough and rough on the women of
Mr.. Gilbert's acquaintance, which must
indeed be limited.

AN AGED VICTIM.
A Philadelphia Merchant Taken I'm to
the ExtenI of $1,000.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, August 31.-A speei-
al dispatch to the Times from Atlantic City,
N. j., says Charles Fields, who is over
eighty-fve years of age and who has been
in business in Philadelphia for ove fifty
years, was to-day victimized out of $500
by g brace of bunko steerers in Atlantic
City. Mr.. Fields and his son, who is asso-
ciated with bis father in business at No.
242 Market street, Philadelphia, as general
agents of the @ ark spool cotton, have
cottages adjoining each other on Illinois
avenue, nesrly opposite the Traymore
House. Mr.. Fields, ST., took a stroll after
dinner, when he met a young man OF good
address who, after a courteo GUS handshak.
ing, stated that he YVES an old friend of
his; that he had been a clerk for the Penn
sy vania National Bank, and since his res
ignation had beer abroad. The man told
old Mr.. Fields that he had brought several
fine pictures from Europe. which he
would be pleased to have him inspect.
Mr.. Fields accompanied him to
a house, where he was introduced to q
game played on q board with numbers on
it and with g spinning arrow, presumably
a sweat board. Two other gentlemen were
introduced, and they played the game,
winning over 800 each. Mr.. Fields was
invited to join the game, and he lost over
500, but continued to play. After play
ms some time the bunko men coolly asked
the old gentleman for his check for $1,000,
drawn to himself, as the collateral for a
grand prize he had drawn on the sweat
hoard. A check was filed but and Mr..
Fields signed it. The check was on the
Pennsylvania National Bank of Philadel-
phia. Later in the day Mr.. Fields, real
iziug that he had been swindled, started
out to find the house, but was unable to
find it. It'll thought here that the bunko
men have carried the check to New York
and negotiated it at q large discount.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Attempt on the Lives Of Two women
Suicide OF The Murderer.

IRoNroN, O., August 31.-In Texas Hol-
low, thirteen miles from here, on Saturday
night, w. E. Booth made an Intellectual
attempt to kill two women and then killed
himself. He was married a year sgo to
Alice Montgomery against the wishes of
her parents. he took her to his fathers
house, where dissffection sprang up be-
tween his mother and his wife. After
a wnne ne Joineu ms motner IN mistreat-
ing his wife, and the girls father took her
home. Since then he has made threats
against her relatives and has begged he,
to live with him, but she refused. Satur-
day night, being intoxicated, Booth went
to the house of Mr., Willis, who married his
wife's half-sister, and found his wife's
mother, Mrs. Montgomery, and Mrs. Viii.
LIS, eating a midnight lunch. He imme-
diately fired two shots at Mrs. Montgom-
cry and n st Mrs. Willis. Both screamed
and fell, and Booth, thinking he had
killed both, ran nearly to his fathers
house and there shot himself throufh the
head. He was an only son of a respected
farmer, and had been well educated. A
paper in his pocket outlined his purpose
of murder and suicide. Mrs. Montgom-
cry was not hit. Mrs. Willis received a
glancipg wound in the side.

The Lancaster Inteuigencer suggests that
all who are interested in the problem OF
restraining corporations within their
proper limits, will find themselves a little
staggered by the immense debts some of
the big railroads of the country are carry
ing. The addition to the obligations of
the New York Central by the West Shore
trade makes the total 1927 100000. The
Erie's burden of capitalization is $3.50 ,000,-
600, the Pennsylvania $i50,000,0O0, and
the Baltimore and Ohio 1891 900, 600. Oh
the amount carried by the New York Cen
trail $50, 900 ia for buying out the COM
peting West Shore. The Pennsylvania
will, if permitted to violate the law, act in
a similar manner in order to secure the
South Pennsylvania road, and hui add
another colossal pile to its Indebtedness
for which the people will be taxed higher

THE Return 10 THE CITY.

September is the most deliciously be
nign and wooingly beautiful month in
the year. 1t is at this season Nature,
having finished her productive task,
arrays herself in crimson and gold and
sits with folded hands under crystal
line skies. 1t is the mouth when, ar
rayed in all the matchless pomp of our
early autumn, every phase of outdoors is
a picture or a poem; when the atmo-
sphere itself is drunken with the subtle
sadness of over-ripe life, and Nature
swoons in a dream of contentment. In a
word, September is the month of all
others for enjoyment, either in town or
country, for the sun no longer smites
and the elements no longer prosecute.

A DECIDED SENSATION.
A Preacher by an Irate Par.
ishiOner in His Pulpit.

York, Pa, August 31.-A decided sem
sation was treated in Winterstown, this
county, yesterday, by j. H. P. Fulton, 6
well-known resident Of the village. The
Rev. J. W. Shultz of Shrewsbury, pastor
of the circuit embracing Winterstown
Evangelical church, some time ago an
nounced that yesterday be would preach
a Grant memorial sermon. Futon
gave notice that such sermon should not
be preached in that church. But little at
tention was paid to this threat and on Sun
day the Rev. Mr.. Shultz announced his
text and proceeded with his sermon, emu
merating great men of ancient and mod
ern times. Fulton sat quietly until Gen.
Grants name was mentioned, when he
sprang to his feet, brsndished his fists,
and cried to the minister: "Stop that"
The preacher continued his discourse
and Fulton advanced up the aisle. Great
confusion prevailed, which reached a crisis
when the angry member spraDg into the
pulpit and violently assaulted the pastor,
knocking him down. A rush was made
by the congregation to defend the pastor.
Order was finally restored and the sermon
finished. Fulton will probably be prose-
cuted. 1t is said he has left the place.
His action has aroused great indignation

HOW LABOR Is REASONING.

Spite or our high tariff wages ten1
downward in this country just as they
do where there is no high tariff. We
pay an immense tax to keep wages high,
but they tend to fall here as readily as
where nothing is paid for such a purpose.
The decline of wages, when such millions
are paid in taxes to keep them up, is
naturally viewed with suspicion by those
who have been assured that high tariff
would sustain high wages, and they strike
and refuse to accept of reductions under
such circumstances. The w%orkingmen
can see that of two things they must
have one-if high tariff is sustained they
are justified by what its advocates have
told them in demanding and insisting
upon the receipt of the wages it was
pledged they should receive. If they
cannot have those wages, then the tariff
must be reformed so as to give the prod
uct of their labor full access to the
worlds markets. Unable to reply to this
just reasoning, the high-tariff capitalists
try all their art and their usual crooked
| logic, with the addition of threats
from Calling guns, to induce them to
refrain from strikes. They assure
them hat they have lost millions
of dollars by the time lost from work
during strikes. The working people
know better. They know they have paid
heavily to secure the object of their
strikes, and have obtained the worth of
their money. They know that they have
made strikes a terror to employers, be-
cause of the losses incurred by their
works being stopped, their capital lying
idle, and their business being brought to
a stand. They know that the dread OF
this loss prevents reduction of wages
that, without that dread, would be made.
They know that what they gain by es-
Gaping these reductions amply repays
them for the expense of an occasional
strike. The working people have learned
to foresee results and to apply means to

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, August 3l.--Ithaving been
said and spread abroad that the statement
made by Lueius A. White and now in the

ney, is of the nature of a confession of his
connection with the scheme to counterfeit
Brszilian bank notes, the assistant aitor-
ney says it is simply a voluntary state
ment and cannot be put in evidence or in
any way used against White, nor can the
district attorney testify as to what it con-
tains. The only value it possesses is in
giving information of confederates. White,
In an interview in which he repeats much
tnat ma already been published, saws the
maj who first preached to him the pro-
ject OF having the Brazilian treasury notes
initiated for use 81 labels was his brother
Joseph, and not Lane, as heretofore
stated. The whole matter of print
ing was arranged at the house of
his brother in Texas, and he then came to
st. Louis to carry out the plan. He de-
mics, however, that it was their intention
to use these notes for anything but cigar
box labels. He speaks of two or three per-
sons he and his brother met in New York
last spring on their return from Europe.
