TRUSTEE KITS REPORT.

Township-The $4,000 Loan.

The County Commissioners are examining
Trustee Kitz's last report with some delibera-
tion. There are a few items charged against the
township that viii pass muster only by attstch-
ing the doubt in Mr. Kitz's favor. One, FOR in
stance. where he charges $50 per month buggy
hire. he ussd his own horse and vehicle. but
4he Couimissloners, acting upon the superstition
that this expense would be incurred anyhow,
even II Mr. Kitz was not the owner Of horse
and buggy, are inclined 10 allow IL It does not
appear in the report, For the Commissioners
have nothing TO do with that item OF expeni-
iture, but 1t is known by them that during the
past year the trustee paid dis attorney 81 600.
HisfAquest for q So, 600 loan, to meet indebted
ness To road supervisors was partially considered
yesterday. Mr.. Kitz claims that the limited
levy Cor road purposes has not been sufficient to

EMPLOYER AND EMpLOYE.
A Settlement of the Differences at Helwig's
prObable-The Bakers Desires.

It is stated the workingmen at Helwigs chair
factory quit Monday evening through misun-
derstanding of the purpose in requiring them
to work twelve hours instead of ten. The
twelve hours' run of working time was to be
only a temporary expedient to meet certain Or
ders. Yesterday committee of the Knights of
Labor and the president of the company were
comforting on basis of settlement and it is very
probable that before the week is out the affair
will be adjusted. The main point of difference
seems to be Mr.. Helwig's refusal accede to the
request that his foreman shall be compelled to
join the union. There is also difference as to
the committees request that last years wages
shall be restored. Mr.. Helwig says this is inn
possible on account of the state of trade
The journeymen bakers union asks employ
ers in that trade to make ten hours days work
The union has also decided that no BAKER shall
board with his employer, and that the 'bosses"
shall join the union. A demand is made that
bread shall bear the union label This has been
tried with paper slip, but as it had to be stuck
after the manner of postage stamp, customers
have refused to buy the bread on that account
1t is suggested that the difficulty can be over
come by the employing bakers STAMPING their
name on the dough, and by display cards at each
grocery and bakery stating that the bread there
sold is of union manufacture

ASH WEDNESDAY.
Beginning Of the Lenten Season-The Pas
sienist Fathers Coming.

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the beginning
tended to only forty eight hours, then to thirty
six days. and in the ninth century four more
days, making the number forty, were added.
The fast of forty days observed by the
Roman Catholics and other churches be-
fore Easter. is in commemoration of the
fast of Jesus Christ in the wilderness.
At st. Johns Catholic Church, next Sun
day, at half past 10 o'clock, a mission, to con-
tinue two weeks will be begun by Passionist
fathers, who will be assigned to this city proba-
bly, from st. Louis, Mo.
The Passionists have as their founder Paul
Francis, surnamed Paul of the Cross, the order
being instituted in 1877. The first convent was
established on the Celian Hill at Rome. 1t has
been revived since 1880. and new houses have
been founded in England, Ireland, Belgium and
Australia They now possess four monasteries
in this country. The special object Of the order
is to instill into mems minds by preaching, by
example, and by devotional practices, a sense OF
the mercy and love of God, as manifested in the
passion of Christ. Hence, the cross appears
everywhere as their emblem, in their churches,
in their halls, and in the courts
and public places of their monasteries A
large crucifix, moreover forms part of their very
striking costume They 60 barefooted and practice
many other personal austerities, rising at mid
night to recite the canonical hours in the church
Their ministerial work consists chiefly in hold
ing missions. whenever they are invited by the
local clergy, in which sermons on the passion of
Christ, on sin, on repentance, together with the
hearing of confession, hold the principal places
During the mission there will be services every
morning at 5 and o'clock, and at p. NJ and
p. NJ. Every one, no matter what his or her re-
ligious belief may be, is invited to attend the s
P. M. meetings The pews are free.

ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL

De Lesseps is in the market for o loan Of
900, 000, 600 francs for further work on the
Panama Canal, and is meeting much hos
tile criticism on this side of the Atlantic
on account of the alleged backward condi-
ton of the operations and hopeless out
look. It has been repeatedly declared by
competent American engineers that the ex-
cavstions have not made the progress that
has been claimed, and that the completion
of the canal on the original plan ia well
nigh impossible. The French, however,
take q roseate view OF the situation. and sp-
peals are confidently made to capitalists
large and small for subscriptions to the
loan. 1t is charged, too. that an immense
sun has been paid to the Paris newspapers
to secure their support. One estimate
places it at 10, 900, 900 francs, OF which
1000, 900 was paid to La France. Making
all allowance for the jealousy Of outsiders,
there seems to be very little doubt that
the enterprise is getting on slowly, and
that the bonds are N extremely risky in.

silver in Peru.

u GtNtoN &hg 69 RO
English bankers, who are substantially
the dictators OF Peruvian financial policy,
have proposed to adopt the gold standard
of that country. The fluctuations in the
gold value of silver are given as the reason
for making gold the standard in q country
whose metallic currency is composed al
mos. entirely of silver. The policy which
English b~oudholders have found to work
so we'll in England and the United States
will perhaps be tried in Peru. The Eng
lish have bought Peruvian bonds issued
ON q silver basis, and they will
make q handsome profit If they can
arrange so as to have principal and
interest paid in gold. The bullion value
of q silver dollar on a gold basis is
Just seventy.fve cents. 1t has fallen
eighteen cents since the coinage of the
silver dollar was recommended in 1873.
II this reduction In value were caused by
q corresponding reduction in the cost OF
production, there would be some ground
on which to demand a change of policy.
But there ia no marked increase In the
product OF silver. 1t is the diminished
use that causes depreciation. The attack
ON silver is so persistent that its friends
have some apprehension as to the result.
With the possibility that silver may be de-
monetized by the principal commercial
nations OF America and Asia, as has been
by those of Europe. it is not surprising
that the market price Of bullion should de.
preciate. The gold movement In Peru, q
country dominated by English influence,
is a part Of the concerted attack upon sill
YER in the interest of bondholders.

Henry Willard, who has been in Eu-
rope most of the time since the bursting
of his financial bubble some years ago,
is credited with the intention of return
ing home within a short time and again
trying his prentice hand in Wall street.
If Mr.. Willard could manage to scratch
around for a living outside, he had better
keep out of Wall street. He has made
a very good record in the way of paying
off his indebtedness, and it seems a pity
that he should weary Of well doing SO
soon.
