superstitious Negroes

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 26-The granite
quarries at Stone Mountain and at
Lithonia have agents in the city try
ing to get workmen. They employ 800
colored helpers for the granite cutters
Not more than half reported for work
last Monday, and day by day since
they have dropped off until now none
of them are left. The comet is the
cause of this absence from work. The
negroes have become so worked uI
over the end Of world, as they call it,
that they devo'e themselves to wild
orgies. A marriage which was to have
taken place at the Lithonia colored
church last night was broken off be
cause, as the groom explained, "whats
the use If there are only three days
more to live" Houses are left open and
everything is in commotion, but so in
intense is the belief in the coming Of
judgment day that nothing is dis
turbed. Saturday night is set down as
the time for the end of all things. Re
ports from other sections Of the state
show that certain classes Of whites are
quite nervous and not satisfied with
the explanation that the cmet will be
a display Of fire works, if it is any
thing.

Homestead Cases May Be Dropped
CONSERVATION Created BY An
Infant Phenomenon

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 26-Officers
arrived here today having in charge
Thomas Kinzeis and George Iachari,
two of the men who were arrested i'm
Gillian county Thursday for the rob
berry of the bank of Ben T.. Snipes a.
Co., at Roslyn, Wash, September 23rd
last. Calvin Hale, the third man ar
rested will be brought to this city
later. From M. G. Sullivan, manager
of Thiers detective agency, who has
charge of the affair, the following par
ticulars were learned: The arrests
were made by four different posses,
comprising in all twenty-four men.
| Zachar was arrested at the mouth OF
Butte creek, i'm Gillian county by the
posse under command of Banks and
McGrath. Hale was arrested seven
miles from Fossil, Gillian county al
his home, by the posse under command
of holland and Holley, and Kenzie was
arrested near Heppner, Moscow county,
by the posse under Morgan. None Of
the men offered any resistance, but
willingly submitted to the officers. The
entire band OF robbers, whose headquar
ters are known to be in Gillian county
numbers twenty or twenty-five. 1t is
thought they have been operating all
over the Pacific coast, rObbing banks
and holding up trains. Many Of the
robbers have ranches in Gillian county
where they herd stolen cattle and
horses. Residents of the country about
fuse to give information for fear o
being murdered IL is supposed that
the same gang robbed the Enterpris'
bank in Wallowa county year ago
aud also one in Weiser, Idaho.

oughly Irresponsible. They existed by
thousands throughout the United States
Whenever one failed the result was large
loss and great distress among the people.
No one was responsible for their bills and
they were generally found scattered in the
pockets of the 1aboring man to whom they
were total loss without any redemption
Whatever. OF the state banks 1t was often
and truly said that their debts were the
caused an aggregate loss of hundreds of
millions Of dollars among the poor. Since
the close of the war all this Is different.
Every paper dollar that circulstes among
the people has the United States behind It
as guarantee. All the banks that exist are
under the control of the national govern
ment, and if they as financial institutions
fail, the government has taken care that
their bills shall be paid by securities de-
posted in government vaults. Under these
circumstances it is q matter for extra
ordinary surprise that the democratic con-
ventions had deliberately passed resolu-
palpable effect of this policy, If carried
out, would be to cheat the poor man out
OF his daily bread. If state banks be
adopted and their circulation attain a large
issue no device could be more deadly for
the deception and despoilment of all the
commercial and lsboring classes. How
the democratic convention came to make
such declaration, what intelligent purpose
was in it, will remain a mystery. I have
heard the argument adduced that we would
keep the money at home if state banks
were instituted, but we should keep it at
home because it would be 80 worthless that
nobody would take it abroad. Were the
system of state banks revived we
would again have discounts at
the state lines, large charges
for drafts on financial centers and general
of every bill offered in pay
ment, with a liquidation every few hours
that would be a destructive loss to the in
nocent holders of bills, and correspond
ing profit to the parties owning the banks.
The three issues which have given are
the issues upon which 1 would arraign the
democratic party. would not multiply
issues nor be diverted by our opponents
from steadfast adherence to and constant
presentation of these questions before the
people, until every voter is made to know
and understand their true and weighty
Specification. Very sincerely yours,
JAMES G. BLAINE.
