Hon. John J. ingalls,: There is a
growing sentiment in favor of paternal-
ism in this country; of the Govern
ment doing everything and the people
doing nothing. This is Numerically
opposed to the idea of individualism
upon which the Government had been
built, and to the good Anglo Saxon
doctrine of root hog, or die. It has al
ways happened in every community
that the weak were more numerous
than the strong, that the number of
who failed outnumbered those who
succeeded, and that the wise, the intel
igent, and the thoughtful were in the
minority. We have now new school
ofpolitical philosophy that i, repudi-
ating the Declaration of Independ-
ence end is endeavoring to overthrow
the maxims of democracy, and to in
sist that the race shall not be for the
swift nor the battle to the strong; thct
the distinction ordained by God
among men shall be an obliterated
statute, SO that idleness shall bring the
same reward as industry and thrift;
that the ignorant shall be as wise as
the learned; that debts shall be paid
by acts of Congress; that money shall
be made as plentiful as the autumn
leaves of the forest; that taxation shall
be abolished by State Legislatures, and
that prosperity shall be forcibly dis
tributed equally among all men. = +
have no doubt, that the progress of
the nation will be constantly upward.
In every crisis of history, in all the
bitter struggles of humanity through
the desolate track of wretchedness and
poverty, still the progress of the race
mas been onward and upward. Out of
every struggle, out of every contest,
has come broader liberty, greater OPP
portunities for happiness, and greater
prophecies of the development of the
race hereafter; and 80 out of this con-
test upon which we have entered will
come absolutely at last triumph of
liberty and social fraternity of the
American pee PIE and the continued
progress in the wealth, industry and
intelligence of the entire American
Republic.

"Seventy-three miles an hourw
That's what a Worcester (Mass.), in
ventor claims is the speed which rid
ers can attain on one of his cycles. Is
it safe to laugh at this mani Let us
see, twenty miles an hour was deemed
impossible only few years ago; 2:20
for a mile was scoffed at, as being be-
yond the range of possibilities a few
months ago, and yet these perform
ances are now known to be very much
within the bounds of reason to-day.
Yet in spite of these facts imagine it
viii be perfectly safe to risk very
loud chuckle ut the claim of seventy
three miles an hour on any manumo-
tive machine. The description of the
machine, to my unm, cianical mind, is
vague, and all l can seem to grasp is
that it is one big wheel with two rims

Mortified News: The full accurate
description of Carleton's new telescope
has just been prepared by the astro-
nomical directors, and important CON-
potations which it has taken time to
effect, are also given. A description
of this instrument is of much more
than local interest. 1t places Goodsell
observatory among the best equipped
observatories in the United States,and
although the equatorial may not be the
largest in the world, it has been pro-
nounced by competent judges as the
most accurate, and for its size, the
best. In size it is the sixth, and in,
power the fifth largest in the country.
The clear Aperture of the object glass
or the telescope is 1862 inches, its focal
length is % feet, and it's working pow
ers range between 1876 and 1900 diam
eters. Theory claims that 100 diam
eters to the inch of the diameter of
the object-glass is the highest that
telescope will bear. This instrument
under power of 1900 gives beautiful
images, and easily reaches and separ-
ates surprisingly close double stars.
Definite results of word of this kind
will soon be published that others may

THE NEWS CONFIRMED.

Consul McCreary's Report to the State
Department. The Bogus Dispatches.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The official
news of the insurgent victory in Chilli,
cabled to the State Department by the
United States Consul at Valparaiso, set
ties beyond doubt the conflicting reports
of the past few days concerning the CON
dition Of affairs at the seat of war.
The receipt of dispatches from Valpar-
also telling of a victory for the Balma-
cedists is explained by State and navy
officials as resulting from Balmaceda's IS
control of the cable line from that city.
Doubt as to the absolute authenticity
of these dispatches was expressed
in official circles to-day for the
reason that it is custom in vogue, n
part of diplomatic etiquette in fact, that
when Minister receives an important
dispatch from his home government that
is given out for publication, it is sent at
once to the State Department for the in
formation of this government. This was
not done, and, as a result, the department
officials and the members of diplomatic
corps now in town discredited the stories
and inclined to the belief that there was
nothing more than some sllirmishing.
From Consul McCreary's dispatch it
would seem that this belief is correct.

TYPHOID FEVER RAGING.

NEWARK, N. j., Aug 29-The spread
of typhoid fever in this city has become
so alarming that the Health Board have
decided to withhold all information con-
cerning cases reported to the department

HOPE FOR HALLlNGER.
BY u Peculiar Jersey Law He Nay Yet
Escape the GaIIows.

Escape the Gallows.
JERSEY CITY, n. j., Aug. 29.-It is more
than likely now that Edward W. Hal
linger, the negro who pleaded guilty to
the murder of Mary Paterson, and who
was sentenced by Judge Knapp to be
hanged, will escape the gallows alto
gether.
1t is due to the efforts of his lawyer,
Charles J. Peshall, that his hanging,
which was set down for a day last June,
was prevented by a stay of execution.
Mr. Peshall does not deny that Hallinger
is guilty.
He is making the fight on peculiar
point of Jersey law which has been in
force there since April, 1886, and which
provides that if person who has COM
mitted murder mo matter how deliber-
ate or cOld-blooded) confesses to the crime
in open court, he pleads guilty to the
lower degree of the crime and by that
confession saves his life. Hallinger, Law
yer Peshall claims, will escape hanging
by means of this statute.
Hallinger is now in the county jail in
Jersey City awaiting the result of an APP
plication for a writ of habeas corpus
made to the United States Supreme
Court. AS the day fixed for the execu-
tion is now past, and as there is nothing
in the statutes providing for the re-
sentencing of criminal, Hallinger's
chances for escape are largely in the ma
jority.

BIG BANKING DEAL
A Scheme to Circulate Five
Million Dollars.
THE MONEY TO BE SENT WEST.
New Plan to Help the Movement of Crops
TO the Soaboard.

A Big Block of Government Bonds TO be
Deposited for New Bank Circulation
No Large Profit in the Transaction-It 1t
is Said that it win Stimulate Trade in
Wholesome Way.
NEW YoRK, Aug. 90. -Financiers in
Wall street are much interested in u
movement, which is just assuming deiin-
ite shape, to take about $500, 600 of
Government bonds for the purpose of
depositing with the United States Treas
ury for new bank circulation. The larger
banks in this city are in the movement,
and the proposition is to take this large
block of 1-2s, extended at 2 per cent.
under Secretary Fosters recent plan.
OF course it is not the small profit of
one-half of l per cent. on the transaction
which induces the banks to go into the
undertaking, but more particularly to
provide for the issue of a large amount of
new circulating notes to meet the enor-
nous demand for money in the West. So
much currency is needed TO move the
crops during the coming fall that the
banks in this movement are endeavoring
to supply the demand.
The interested banks will deposit the
bonds with the Treasury against new
circulation, under the provisions of the
National Banking act, and if the proposi-
tion is carried out, the new bank notes
will be sent West on September s, or per-
haps a latter later, to help the movement
of the crops to the seaboard.
From the most reliable sources 1t is
learned that the consummation Of the
big transaction will depend largely upon
the action of the National Bank of Com
merce, American Exchange National
Bank, Fourth National, Merchants Ma
tional, Western National and one or two
others which have large capital and
therefore are able to take each a big
share of the whole.
Money is comparatively plenty and
cheap in this market, while the Western
country is congested by the enormous
crops, which are difficult to move without
ready cash in very large sums. There can
hardly be any very large profit in this
transaction by New York banks, but they
will get the credit of doing the right thing
at the right time. If the arrangement
can be carried through, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Boston and other cities may fol-
low the excellent example set them by
New York bankers, and the general move
ment cannot but add to the prosperity of
the country. Trade will be stimulated in
a wholesome way and the pulse of indus
try quickened,
