PETER is a Fraud.

Chicago Tribune: Senator PETER, Of
Kansas. addressed a small meeting Of
old .'greenback labor" cranks in Cooper
Union last Tuesday evening. This is an
extract from the demagogue' harangue
on the occasion. lie said:
A new custom had sprung up in the country
within the last twenty years When the men in
Wall street needed money they asked, and never
in vain. their partner in the treasury at Wash
ingtOn to come to their relief. Within seventy
five days q hundred millions had been advanced
them from the treasury. About twenty millions
had been advanced them on account OF interest
not due Farmers, II they asked, wouia not get
one dollar. That state Of things had to be
changed II he did not wrongfuly construe the
temper Of the people.
A more misleading statement 1t would
be hard for the biggest charlatan to
make. PETER concealed the simple fact
that all the treasury did in the case was
to purchase United States bonds that
Is, redeem obligations Of the govern
ment, reduce Indebtedness and stop in
terest This was done with money lying
idle and useless IN the treasury. The
holding Of this one hundred millions of
idle money out of circulation was the
chief cause of the tight money market
which prevailed at the time and was de-
morahzng all lines Of business and
classes of men, including the farmers of
Kansas. What was there wrong, then,
in the government buying up a lot of
its own bonds, thereby reducing its
debt and getting the idle money in the
treasury into the channels of trade?
The effect was good in every respect.
II relieved the pinch in the money mar.
ket, sent up the price of stocks. reduced
the rates of interest, enabled debtors to
renew their notes and mortgages and at
lower rates Of interest, and advanced
the selling price of crops of all kinds
and started up business and set idle
men at work at good wages. Yet this
long bearded Kansas cbarlatan assails
what was wisely done as a wrong act
and says: Farmers. if they asked,
would not get one dollar If any far
mer held bond of the United States he
got just the same price for it as any
man in Wall street. The government
neither gave nor lent a dollar TO any
body to whom it was not indebted 1t
merely paid its debts to the holders of
its obligations. If no Kansas alliance
farmer got any of that idle money
which was paid out it was simply be-
cause he didn't have any United States
bonds and held no obligation of the
government ON which to receive money
from the government. All this the
Kansas charlatan well knew, but con-
cealed from his hearers tor fraudulent
reasons.

The Petition for Zoldoske.


The spectacle OF nearly alI the inhab-
itants OF Plattoville petitioning for a new
trial for Rose ZOldoske. recently con-
victed of murder after full and appar-
emily fair trial by jury in the Circuit
court of the same county, is one which
affects unp'easantly all persons who de-
sire Justice to be enforced through the
regular proceedings of the court rather
than through the irregular methods of
mobs
1t is possible that Miss Zoldoske is the
victim of circumstances instead of being
the murderess that she appears to be,
but jury of apparently sensible men,
under the instructions of judge Of high
standing for intelligence aud integrity,
has found that all the crcumSl anceS of
the case proved by the witnesses whose
testimony was taken, are inconsistent,
when taken together, with any theory
of the death of Ella Maly other than
that she was treacherously poisoned ny
her professed!friend, Rose ZoldoSke: and
has also found that none of the circum-
stances proven satisfactorily is inconsist-
ent with that theory of Miss Maly's
death. This being the case the safety Of
society demands at least the Seclusion of
the supposed murderess from all socie-
~, Gin the popular acceptauon of the
world and nothing less in such a case
would suffice To satisfy the sense of jus
tice in the whole community. If it
should be found. on careful review by
the court, or by the Supreme court, that
there was really any uufairnesS in the
trial, then the defend ant ought to be
granted another hearing but this is a
matter for the consideration of the pro-
per courts only, and not for outside
tiictatiGn. At this distance il looks as
though the case was tried with The ut
most fairness. but the little details in a
court room are not ali brought to the
attention of readers who have not been
spectators of the proceedings, so that il
often occurs that jury'S verdict is a
surprise 10 outsiders An intelligent

Thirty thousand tons, or two Lhou-

the construction of the main buildings

that all of the buildings will be faced

The building of the Paris exposition in
1878. 1t is composed chiefly of pow.s
dered gypsum, the other constituents
being alumnla, glycerine and dextrine..
These are mixed with water without
heat, and cast in molds in any desired
shape and allowed TO harden. The nat
ural color is murky white, but other
colors are produced by external washes
rather than by additional ingredients.
To prevent brittleness the material is
cast around course cloth, bagging, OF
oakum. The casts are shallow-like, and
about half an inch thick They may
be in any form-in imitation of Gus

the most delicate designs. For the low
er portions of the walls the material is
mixed with cement, which makes it
hard Statfis impervious to water, and
is permanent building material, al
though its cost is less than one-tenth of
that of marble or granite.

the admission of new state shall be

will lind place July 4 this year will
stand for Wyoming That vigorous
young commonwealth came in after
last independence day by just a week or
so. Idaho had been more lucky as the
president had signed the bill admitting.it

1t promises to be several years before
any more territories are admitted into

QUAY ATTACKED.
An Address Issued By Republicans in
Pennsylvania.


PHILADELPHIA, July IAN address
to the citizens Of Pennsylvania has
been issued, signed by $50 Of Phila-
delphia's influential business and pro-
fessional men, all of whom say they are
republicans, TO point out the causes OF
the degradation of public affairs in the
state and the necessary steps towards
improvement. Senator Quay's man
agement of the republican machine is
said to be corrupt and in strong con.
trast with the rank and file of the
party. That leadership is char
aeterized as INSCRIPTIONS in its
methods and disastrous in its
results Quay is held responsible
for the overwhelming disaster the
party met with last fall. His
lieutenants in the legislature are
charged with committing a stupid
political blunder by the hostility to
the ballot reform bill and with having
violated the express pledges of the
party and openly defied the will of the
overwhelming majority of their con-
stituents. These things have found a
fitting elimination in the robbery of
the city and state treasury. As
the party will soon be called
upon to nominate state and city treas
urer and attorney general, the nominal
tions must be given to honest men or
the party will meet with another de-
feat In the presence of these facts
Pennsylvania republicans must not hes
itate as to their duty or be IN doubt as
to their course 1t is crisis and it can
only be met by the retirement of Mr.
Quay, More competent and worthy
leadership is necessary, and an un-
fiinching demand must be made for the
retirement of these men from the places
which they have disgraced

sympathy with this movement are re-
quested TO address Lock box No 49,,

work OF the schools Cor the BLIND.

WASHINGTON, July l. m The census
bureau has issued bulletin on the sub
ject of schools for the blind. 1t appears
that the total numb Der Of these schools
in the United States in 1889 was ,, 931,
while in 1850 the number was 2,041, an
increase in the decade of $50 This
apparent increase, it is said, is due to
some extent to the increased facilities
for the reception and education of the
blind in the schools established
for this purpose The average an
nual cost per pupil III schools for the
blind, from 1850 to 1890, was S2SS.

In the Zoldoske case the strong prob
ability is that the verdict was right; but
if it should ever appear that it was
wrong, the wrong can be corrected by
the use Of the pardoning power. Indeed.
tie chances are always that that power
will be used too layishly rather than
too reluctantly; but anything is prefer
able to the excited opinion Of a multi
iude which condemns or acquits often
without reason. and always without
proper deliberation.

eighteen head of cattle in this pasture
