is not to be wondered at that when II
was signed by MIR. Wanamaker, the
other day, the notorious ''era o! good
stealing" was recalled to the old
timers. If this contract cannot be up
set by democratic Congress an in-
vestigation would at least bring out
the names of the stock holders in this
very fortunate corporation, and those
names might explain much that peo-
pie would like to know about this
Doodle scheme, for such it undoubted-
ly is. The specifications under which
the bids for this contract were m
were Intentionally so drawn as to shut
out all possible competition, and this
Company was the only bidder.

Mr.. Blaine and his family will this

An explanation of the term spin
money" cannot fail to prove of inter
est, as few are aware of the correct
dirivation. Among the presents for,
merly offered as New Year'sgifts were
pins, which were first made in the
early part of the sixteenth century.
However trifing such gifts might now
appear, it was then highly valued, as
previous to the invention of pins
clumsy wooden skewers were in use
for fastening garments In this man
ner arose the term 'pin money" in
marriage settlements, the bride stipu-
Iating for, or the groom voluntary con-
ceding, certain annual allowance
with which to purchase what was ten
deemed a luxury. In time the tie; n
came to be applied in the more eH-
tended sense to signify any sum over
which the wife shall have absolute
control, independent of her husband.
Though no longer used in legal ms
truments, the term is still retained col
loquially as denoting stipulated sum
tor the wife's private use.

WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON, Oct. II, 1902.


"As goes New York so goes the
election" is what one hears on all
sides. Consequently the greatest in
terest is centered upon the situation
in that state. 1t is no secret among
we'll informed democrats that the
party managers have had three separ-
ate and distinct polls made of every
voter OF New York State, and that
each OF them shows democratic ma
jority ranging from 10000 to $4,000.
1t is also known that the republicans
have made three polls of the state,
but it was only to-day that it was as
certained positively that the footings
of the republican polls are substan-
TALLY the same as those made by the
democrats. This information was
brought to Mr.. Harrison by promi-
nent New York republican, and ad-
vice sought from him as to the ways
and means of overcoming the demo-
cratic majority which unquestionably
exists at this time.
The republicans were never work
ing harder to carry New York than
they are at this moment they fully
realize that the votes of at least 20,
900 New Workers who have declared
themselves in favor OF Cleveland must
be influenced in order to carry the
state for Harrison, and if il is possible
to do thar by fair means or foul, they
intend to do it. 1t was because of
this condition OF affairs that Mr..
Blaine was cajoled into going to White
law Reids country residence and into
making his speech especially appeal
ing to the Irish Americans to vote for
Harrison, and that such a determined
effort is being made by the republi-
cans to show that Mr.. Cleveland is or
has been at some time in his public
career unfriendly to the Irish Ameri-
cans but it is not from such things
as these that the democrats fear dan
ger. 1t is from the enormous cor
ruption fund known to be in the hands
of the republican national committee
that the real danger will come.
Already it is known that deep
laid scheme exists to bring about the
absence from their voting precincts of
democratic voters on election day.
This scheme covers every imaginable
method from hiring democratic work
ingmen at high wages to go away from
home to work for a few days to making
drunk and kidnapping voters, keeping
them hid away until after election
day. 1t is difficult for any American
who loves his country and its instltu-
tions to believe that the Presidential
election can be carried by such cor
rupt methods, and that is why those
who know about those polls of the
state by both parties are confident |
that the democratic majority will not
be overcome and that the SO electoral
votes of the empire state will be cast
for Cleveland and Stevenson.

ternational Navigation Company to

seminaries OF learning have fourished with
their accustomed vigor; the patriotism and
wise discretion OF our citizenship has main
tanned peace at home, and no fear Of foreign
war invades our breasts. Now, therefore. fol-
loving time honored usages, and in accordance
with the proclamation OF the president Of the
United States, I do hereby designate Thursday,
the cath day Of November, 1892. a day Of thanks
giving and prayer to the great giver Of all that
is good. snd earnestly recommend that the peo-
pie Of our state assemble at suitable and ac-
customed places and give thanks and praise to
