Rascality in Philadelphia.

John Bardsley, ex-treasurer of Philadel
phia, has been indicted for misrepresentation
Of $50, 900 belonging to contractors and in
charge of the city, and the embezzlement of
over 5000, 900 of state funds. This is nearly
nine times as much as Stevenson Archer
embezzled, but the Sentinel will not say one
ninth as much about it as it did of the Archer
affair, because Bardsley is Republican and.
Archer was holding office under Democratic
government. The Sentinel lnas probably paid
but little attention to the matter, just as it
entirely overlooked the Quay affair.
The Bardsley ENLIGHTENMENT and the wreck
of two banks in Philadelphia have involved
some prominent persons, and a large amount
of collision and rascaIity has been unearthed.
The Baltimore american says:
''The further the bank and city treasury
scandals of Philadelphia are probed the worse
they grow. The general rottenness and ras-
caity and thevery ofthe whole lot of wreckers
and robbers scarcely have Il parallel. And
one of the worst features of the case is that
the robbers were good citizens, and the direc
tors who were supposed to direct the financial
institutions professed to be shrewd business
men. Philadelphia is buying big lot of
experience at a high price.

Verdict in the Baccarat Suit.

As predicted in our last issue, the verdict
in the Sir William Gordon Cumming SANDER
suit was adverse to him. There were five
witnesses against him, besides the Prince of
Wales. and the powerful influence of royalty
was brought to bear to his discomfort. The
conclusion was foregone. The general Eng
fish public were on his side, however, and the
press has been severe upon the Prince of
Wales, several declaring, as the ADVOCATE
did last week, that if Sir William was guilty
of wrong doing, the others connected with the
affair mt Tranby Croft had violated their bond
of secresy and were no better. We have
closely examined the evidence as published,
and are of the opinion that Sir William has
been unfairly treated.
No event for years has so stirred the Eng
fish people. and another such would almost
end royal rule in England. Queen Victoria is
very much incensed at the scandal, for she is
not only a good woman, but realizes that the
connection Of the heir apparent with such
scandals seriously threatens the life of the
Monarchy. The monarchy is now limited.
It will not bear many strains.
Sir William does not seem to be much dis
turbed by the verdict for on Wednesday, the
day after the verdict was rendered, he welded

The State Convention.

The Democratic State Central Committee
met in Baltimore on Thursday to fix dates for
state and judicial district conventions. In
accordance with public sentiment the date for
the convention to nominate candidates for
Governor, Comptroller, Attorney General and
Clerk of the Court of Appeals was named some
weeks earlier than that indicated by Chairman
Compton two weeks ago. July 3Oth was the
day set and Baltimore city the place desig-
mated. The active campaign need not begin
until September, but the Democratic press
desired an early convention in order to have
ample time to discuss the six proposed con-
stitulional amendments, other state and
national questions and local matters. 1t is
well to give the press, the main reliance of
the party. some five or six weeks in which to
present to the people the issues OF the cam
paign before the active canvass begins. The
Central Committee have done this, and the
wisdom of their action will be apparent i'll the
result in November.
Dates for judicial conventions were fixed as
follows: In the fifth circuit-Carroll, Howard
and Anne Arundel-at Annapolis, on Sep
TENDER 24th; in the seventh circuit-Priuce
Georges s, Charles, st. Mary's and Calvert
at Port Tobacco, on July 18th; in the fourth
circuit-Washingto Allegany and Garrett
nj Oakland, on September 9th

German and Brown.

The Democrats of Cecil county held their
nominating convention on Tuesday. The
candidates for the House of Delegates were
instructed to vote for the return of Senator
German to the United States Senate. The
convention also selected delegates to the
State convention, and they were instructed
to vote for Hon. Frank Brown for Governor.
Here are the resolutions adopted by the con-
vention by unanimous vote:
The following resolutions were offered by
Mr.. Smith, of the third district, and were
adopted unanimously and with hearty ap-
plause:
"Whereas in the opinion of this convention
it is all important in the present state of our
political affairs that the Democratic State
convention, soon to assemble, choose as its
standard bearer for Governor man in every
sense true to its principles and possessing the
confidence of the people; and believing the
Hon. Frank Brown possesses all the qualifi-
cations necessary to fit him for that position:
Therefore
"Resolced, That the delegates to the State
convention for Cecil county be instructed to
cast their votes as unit for Frank Brown,
of Carroll county, for Governor, and to use
all honorable means to secure his nomination.
ReSolred, further, That the candidates nom,
mated by this convention for the House of
Delegates, il elected, be requested to vote
for the denomination of the Hon. A. p. Cor
man for United States Senator from the
Western Shore Of Maryland"

A Silver Girdle.
From the Hagerstown Mail.

The Mail showed few days ago that it would take
a lightning bank teller working eight hours day
and counting atthe rate of fifty per minute fourteen
hundred years to count the money appropriated by
the late billion Congress.
But suppose, instead of counting these silver dol
lars in the ordinary way, we should lay them down
side by side in a row.
They would make silver girdle long enough to
encrce the earth at the equator and still have TWO
thousand six hundred and seventy five miles left
over to tie into bow.
This substantial silver ribbon would reach from
New York across the broad Atlantic more than ten
times. 1t would make silver pavement fifteen
inches wide and twenty five hundred miles long.
Clip enough off it to stretch from Point Barrow in
the Arctic Ocean, to Cape Horn, and another piece
long enough to reach from Cape North the northern
extremity of Europe to the Cape of Good Hope there
would still remain a portion two thousand miles
longer than the diameter of the earth
But suppose, instead of laying the dollars side by
side, they be piled one upon another as banks pile
them on their shelves. They would make monu-
ment so high that it would put the Eifel tower to
shame.
1t would require nearly ten thousand Eiffe towers,
placed on top of another to reach to so great
height.
The Washington's monument in the City of Wash
ington, the next highest edhce in the world, would
sink into insignifcanee. 1t would take nearly
twenty thousand to reach as high
Our silver tower would be nearly two hundred
times as high as the highest mountain on earth.
Laid down on its side it would be glistening
silver bar, extending from London all the way
Europe and far into Asia, from Hagerstown
to the Pacific Ocean
Think of the toll and sweat and privation and
heartburnngs it required to produce that vast
treasured
Think of the wicked extravaganza of the Repub-
lcan Congress in squandering so much oft!
Is 1t surprising that an indignant people over
whelmed such party with vote of censure more
complete than any other party ever received?
Such wasteful and wicked extravaganza would
have been impossible but for Mr. Reeds quorum
counting rules
1t was the deliberate conspiracy to overpower and
tie the minority and then loot the Treasury.

A Private sub-Treasury Plan.

TOPEKA. KAN, June THE alliance executive
committee ofKansas is considering scheme which
practically places the sub-treasury plan of the
National Farmers Alliance in the hands of private
capitalists.
J. C. Hopkins who was a delegate from the New
York Economic Club at the Cincinnati convention
is the originator of the scheme The plan is to
establish bank in each county of the state under
the direction of the local alliance exchange. The
capital stock is to be furnished by private subscrp
ton. In connection with each bank an elevator or
store-house is to be built farmer may then
dump his grain cotton into the store-houses,
ceiving for 1t check for so per cent of the value Of
the grain deposited by paying small percentage
for storage and insurance. He will be allowed to
keep his grain in the depository until such time
he may deem it best to place 1t upon the market
The amount of produce deposited in this way must
not exceed the amount of stock subscribed for the
bank
The cheeks to be issued by these banks are peculi
ary devised and are printed in colors These checks
are made payable in gold or silver at any of the
banks run in this manner. 1t is intended that they
shall be circulated as money.

Hanover, Pa, Items.

The Spectator says:-The season for the
shipping of fat cattle from this section to the
city markets is almost at its close, but very
few remaining unsold and yet to be shipped.
The season was an especially profitable one
for feeders, who realized handsomely on their
cattle. Below we give the total aggregate
number of cattle shipped from the Hanover
Drove yards during the season extending from
March LIST to June LIST.
The total number of cattle weighed at and
shipped from the Hanover Drove Yards dur
ing the season of 1891 was 1859 head, as
follows :-Brockley & Brother, 1922 head,
weighing 1907, 1884 pounds-an average of
1924 lbs; Johns & Chunk, 608 head, weighing
757, 070 pounds-an average of 1916 lbs; An
thony & Brother, 321 head, weighing 1856, 288
pounds-an average of 1908 lbs; Hoke &
Geiselman, asa head, weighing 523, 096 pounds
AN average of 1852 lbs. There were 154
head shipped by other parties in small lots.
OF the above cattle Vincent O'Bold, of Nc
Sherrystown, fed l26 head, weighing 1853, 62s
pounds, an average of 1346i lbs.
This section was visited by an unusually
heavy rain and wind storm about 3 O'Clock
on Thursday afternoon of last week, which
did considerable damage throughout the ad.
joining country. In some localities barns
and other outbuidings were unroofed, fencing
blown down and many fruit trees destroyed.
| The local freight train between Hanover and
York, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, was
caught in the height Of the storm and two of
the cars unroofed, the wreckage being carried
several hundred yards by the wind.
