DYNAMITE REFORM.

The method developed at Chicago of
converting an obstinate party to the
uses of a great trust is radical, and
has in it the elements of complete sue
cess if iudicously worked. There was
small suggestion of it in tine ancient
time when Mr.. MORDECAI refused to
genuAect before greedy power. The
eXtirpationof the peaceable citizen was
planned, but, as there was no haSty
dynamite, the sequel was quite different
from that on the original programme.
In the case that has its eruption in lii
nois, the great whisky ring, piethoric
with its vast resources, some S250,000,-
900 said to be in its reach, was tor
mented with the sight of one great dis
tillery in Chicago that refused to come
within its w0Oing enclosure. The profits
of the huge octopus were badly shriv-
eIed. This incorrigible and aggravat-
ing competitor must be persuaded out
of the way. AS the allegation is, the
$4,000 and devoted secretary devised a
scheme for obtaining the relief. A party
was to be bribed for $4,000 to explode a
dynamite Implement among the whisky
watts and blow the vast structure, with
its $50 workmen. 10 the other side of
Jordan, as itWere. The bribed party
was to be unwittingly included in the de-
struction, and the $4,000 saved, as we'll
as all evidences and witnesses removed
1t would not be an extreme statement
that there was a lack of courtesy in
tended toward the hired instrument, if
the facts are as published. Ii need not
be supposed that ali the obese gentle
men connected with that vast and
lucrative trust were familiar with
the method adopted to remove an often
Siye obstacle in their path to success.
Nor is it to be presumed that the mem
bers of trusts are always deficient in
amiability or without moral tone. They
may have no more cenSurable purpose
than to squeeze the public to fatten
themselves. No dynamite is kept among
their perSuasives for those who would
allow competition. Still. the ILLINOIS
case may be found extremely suggest
i've. If it shall stimulate legislatures to
prepare legal dynamite for all trusts,
with effective agencies for its applica-
ton, its mission may be benefactIon in
place of the intended satanic one. Sew
eral of the legislatures are trying to find
means to effect the purpose the national
law does so little to touch.

CLEVELAND AND SILVER.

CLEVELAND has spoken On the silver
question, and he has spoken in his
usual manly way. He spoke on the first
fitting occasion since the agitation o.
the question assumed its present form.
He said nothing thai he had not said
before. He simply reiterated what he
had said before. This is what he said:
1t surely cannot be necessary for me 10
make a formal expression of my agreement
with those who believe that the greatest
perils would be invited by the adoption of
the scheme embraced i'll the measure now
pending in congress for an unlimited coin
age of silver at our minis Ii we have deYel-
oped an UNEXPECTED capacity for the assimi-
lation OF Il larg ely increased volume of the
currency, and even if we have demonstrated
the usefulness of such an increase, these
conditions fall far short of insuring us
against disaster if in the present situation we
enter upon the dangerous and reckless eXper-
iment of free. unlimited and independen
silver coinage.
lie speaks Of the dangerous and reck-
less experiment of free, unlimited and
independent coinage. This is proper
characterization of the proposition for
this government to undertake to coin,
at the expense of the people, all the sill
yer of the world, and, by legislation,
making S0centS' worth of it pass for the
value of 81. That kind of legislation is
unqualifiedly vicious. But silver is
precious metal, and is used as money in
a greater or less measure by ell civil
lied peoples. Let this government put
as nearly as may be full dollars worth
of silver in each coined dollar, and then
place such reasonable limit upon the
amount to be coined probably limit
to the amount of the production of our
own mines might do-and there will be
nothing either dangerous Or reckless
in the proceeding. With such legisla-
ton as basis, other of the leading ma
lions with whom silver is not now
legal tender may be induced to join i'll
an agreement for the universal use of
the white dollar.

has come to the conclusion that he is
guilty. There is great excitement at
trust headquarters and agents are going
out on every tram to cities where
trust members reside. Vice President
Adolph Woolner left this afternoon
TO Chicago where he will meet
President Greenhouse, who is coming
home from Washington. A meeting of
trust directors has called for next Mon
day and interesting action is expected
their Gibson maintains dOgged
silence, but says he is innocent. He
says the bottle in his grip contained
antiSeptic fluid patented by a chemist
of the trust and he was on his way to
sell the secret of the compound to
stock company. United States detect
ives arrived here this morning and
sensational arrests are expected.
Inspector Stuart said tonight that
during a trip 10 Peoria last week he dis
covered where the Gibson fluid was
compounded and obtained evidence as
to where it was laded i'll the gun bar
rel. The work was done in Peoria by
one and the same man. Gibson himself.
Capt Stuart obtained Someof GibSon'S
handwriting at Peoria and had it cOm-
pared with the letters by an expert, who
unhesitatinglv declared that the tell-
tale penmanShip was GibsOn's.
CLEVELAND, o.. Feb. 13.-The rumOr
that George J. Gibson. secretary of the
Whisky trust, is in Cleveland, seems to
be without foundation. If he has ar
rived here he has certainly not made
his presence known to his relations.
CharlessP. Scoyll. GlbsOn's brother-in-
law, said tonight that Gibson was not
here. The family have seen nothing of
him. nor heard from him since yeSter-
day, when he was supposed to be in
Peoria. E=s g.=$
President Greenhut, of the Whisky
trust, accompanied by one of his as
sociates, DR.. Rush, arrived here late to-
night, and took quarters at the Audi
torium. He left there hastily. almost
Immediately after entering the build
ing. and drove to the residence of
Nelson Morris. a member of the trust,
and signed the $4,000 bond which
secured Gibson'S temporary release. At
l a. IN. he had not returned to the audi
forum. 1t was rumOred that at meet
ing of the trust Monday Gibson would
be displaced from the post of secretary,
and the trust would formally disavow
all responsibility for any criminal act.

The Paying Teller Of an In
diana Bank EmbeZZleS
Some $4,000.
He Was Implicitly Trusted
and Virtually Raised in
the Bank.
An Examination of whisky
GibSon'S Little Bottle Is
Made in Chicago,
And 1t Proves to Be a Com
pound With All the At
tributes Of Sheol.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 12.-Charles
Ritter. paying teller of the First Ma
tional bank, is defaulter in large
sum. The discovery was made during
Mr. Ritter's confne ment at home by re-
cent sickness. AS paying teller he had
access to the money of the bank. and
his irregularities were covered up by a
most ingenious system of false entries,
which almost defied investigation. The
exact amount of the shortage IS not
known, the examination of his books
being still in progress. and the shortage
thus far is in excess Of his bond, which
is $4,000. However. an approximation
fixes the total in the neighborhood of
$4,000. The cause of his downfall is
believed to be his ambition to make
money. He is the head and front of
the Schmidt Music house in this city,
and has established branch concerns of
the same in Terre Haute and Washing
ton, this state,a OwensbOrO, KY. Those
houses have been badly managed, and
have been a continual drain upon him.
Not having money of his own to keep
them going, the presumption is that he
appropriated the bank funds. with the
possible hope of either paying it back
some day OF escaping detection. MIR
Ritter was virtually raised in the First
National bank. He is thirty five years
of age. and for twenty years was in the
employ of the institution. During that
time he advanced from messenger to his
present responsible and trusted posi-
ton. Throughout his whole connec-
ton with the bank he has enjoyed the
strictest confidence of its officers, who
were 10th to believe the charge. When
confronted with the defalcation Ritter
broke down, and made full confession.
His bondsmen have been appraised of
his downfall. and have Signified their
willingness to secure the bank to the
extent of their liability.

Mr.. Helgeson, the agricultural state

county commissioner has never heard
of it, as Commissioner Barey, chairman
of the board, last fall applied to Mr..
Helgesen in regard to the distribution.
and made and appeal for aid through
the paper. But Mr. Helgesen never
stated to him that there was money for

The murder for which Jessie II. Proctor
