good to lie any mora, he confessed the

good to lie any more, he confessed the
whole truth.
Now, my dear children. listen closely,
for the saddest part OF the story Is coming.
The bank examiner says he told the Gov
eminent at Washington all about the con-
fession, but that the Government allowed
the bank 10 remain open. two months
longer, and in that period many people
put their money into it. The Government,
or the man who represents IL, says the
bank examiner did not tell all about the
confession, nut only part of IL. Who is
telling the truth we do not know yet, but
after the bank had been closed at the end
of these two months, it was examined and
found to have no money in II at all All
the states million dollars and all the city's
more than half-a-million were gone, and
with them lot of money belonging to
poor people who had put it there before
they knew that one Of its good presidents
had been thief and another had been a
liar, and that Bardsley had been both. A
committee Of mon have been hunting for
several weeks TO find where all that money
has gone and have not vet found a cent of
il. The bad man Bardsley is in pr son,
and the good bank president who lied has
run away, and if he is not caught and
brought back, my dear brother, William
IL, Wanamaker, and another man will
have to pay $4,000 for they promised to
pay that in case he did not stay here and
tell what had become of all the banks
money.
Finally, my dear children. you must re-
member that all the people who have had
anything to do with these banks and this
lost money are not what are called igno-
rant foreigners, or the "scum Of Eurone,"
but good Christian Americans, who have
lived many years in Philadelphia. The
great political party to which they belong,
and TO which our dear President and my
self belong, is the same party which sent "a
man who had stolen money out Of the
state treasury to be a senator at Washing
ton, and myself raised Il very large sum
of money, some say as much as sioO,0O0
and put it in this man hands for him to
use in clccting our dear Mr.. Harrison to
the presidency, II is the same party, also,
my dear children, which tried last Novem-
Der 10 induce the people Of Pennsylvania
10 make another dishonest man their gov
ernor, This is the party which is known
as that of moral ideas and as containing
nearly all the good men Of our dear cOun-
try The bad man Bardsley was not an
ignorant foreigner and the city in which
he held office is the only great Republican
city in the country So you see, children,
that the shame OF all this that you find in
the newspapers cannot be Put upon the
swarms of ignorant people that are let into
the country. Neither can it be put upon
the wicked Democrats. 1t all belongs to
the pnlis, good Republicans Of this our be
loved Philadelphia, and much of il upon
some who have sat with as here in our
Bethany.

The Government on the Side Of the Cor
poration--some of the Men Go Back to
Work.
l.oNDoN, June S.-Hardly a single
omnibus of the S75 vehicles belonging
to the London General Omnibus Com
pany is running to-day and 1t Is re-
norted that about 500 men and 1000
horses are thrown into idleness by the
strike which commenced yesterday. The
amount of inconvenience which the
workingmen and business men of this
city are thus put to can be readily
imagined when il is understood that
tens of thousands of people depend
upon the omnibus to carry them to their
work. All the yards of the General
Omnibus Company are strongly pick
eted by the strikers. The drivers OF the
omnibus company this morning. re-
ported for duty as usual and after hay-
ing watered and fed the horses they left
tho stables refusing to assist the com
pany in any other way.
LoYpoH, June 9.-There is little change
in the situation of the strike here this
morning, very few omnibus or cars are
running.
The companies say that they have re-
ceiyed 400 applications from men who
are dcsirolis Of filling places made vacant
by the strike OF the drivers and conduc-
tors. The companies, however have en-
gagged none of these men, their object in
declining to employ the applicants is to
give the strikers time TO realize their posi-
ton and return to work III order TO pre-
vent the horses from suffering through
there being very few stable men to care
for them. number Of policemen have
been detailed to assist the companies in
feeding and in other ways taking care Of
the horses. At llornscy 100 Of the men
employed about the stables have aban-
doned the strike and gone back 70 their
work
