THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.

Brooklyn is a city Of churches and moral in
fiuence. The Eighth Commandment Is taught
in those churches. 1t has not been stricken from
the Decalogue even in the Sunday-school at
Grayescnd Of which John Y. McKane is Super
intendent. This is a day when every man In
Kings County ought to heed direct appeals to
an aroused public conscience "ThOu shalt not
steal" is a text that ought to ring out to-day
from every pulpit. All the moral forces OF
moral opinion ought to be massed for final
onset upon election thieves who are conspiring
with desperate Ring and a corrupt Gang to
cheat honest voters out Of their rights
The Gravesend outrage Is an object lesson
of the whole Democratic campaign. over 5000
names are on the registry lists Of a town with
population of 5000. These fake lists contain
several thousands Of names which ought not to
be there. Every effort on the part OF the re-
formers to obtain copies OF these lists and to
expose their fraudulent character has been re-
sisted by lawcss officials The authority OF the
Supreme Court has been defed by McKanes
underlings There is a deliberate plot on the
part of knaves thieves and lawbreakers to keep
Gravesend under mob law, and to bunch thou
sands of fraudulent votes so rs to east them in
lists These outrageous frauds are to be COM
mitted in order to compass the election OF May
nard, thief, to the Court Of Appeals; of Pear
SAIL political hack, to the Supreme Court, and
of Ring candidate for Sheriff who can be de-
pended upon TO countenance the persistent VIC
laton Of law by prize-fg hters on Coney Island.
The same campaign Of fraud has been organ
lied in the Brooklyn wards. The registry lists
contain almost as many names as in the Pres
idential year. They have been padded out with
the names Of illegally naturalized foreigners
and repeaters from the lower wards OF New
York. An enormous doodle has been collected
in defiance Of law from those whose names are
on the payrols of the city and county and from
| the worst elements in Brooklyn. 1t will be
| largely used in hiring repeaters and illegally
| registered voters to aid In elccting Maynard
and Body and In keeping wantonly misgOv
erned town In bondage 10 Ring and Gang.
Let the churches take up the text today and
make final appeal to the consciences OF voters
One party IL against the Eighth Command
mcnt The other party stands for righteous
| ness, morality and common honesty. Whoever
votes with election thieves and lawbreakers
accepts moral responsibility for their crimes
He becomes their accomplice in tramplng

THE L1TEST INFL1TIOX.

The country has scarcely had time to thank
the President for the passage Of the Repeal
bill with the aid of Republican votes when the
adjournment of Congress, prolonging for some
months the uncertainty regarding the tariff,
gives reason for just criticism, and the Treas
ury begins to add, without any excuse in public
necessity, to the volume Of paper currency re-
deemablc In silver only The socalled coinage
OF the seigniorage means nothing in fact but
an increase of about $54O00.OOO in the volume
of silver certificates outstanding, which are re-
deemable In silver only, and which constitute
the most dangerous part Of the paper circula-
ton.
The theory is that the Government has paid,
roughly speaking, about S15OOO0OOO in new
Treasury notes for silver bullion which, when
coined, would yield s200,000,OO0 in standard sill
yer dollars and that the addition to the nominal
sum In the Treasury can be effected without
changing the actual obligation of the Govern

Fraud must not be allowed to triumph. An
outraged community aroused by the scenes OF
lawlessness In Gravesend and by the unmistak-
able evidences of foul work In the registration
is already in revolt. The spirited action OF the
leaders Of the Rcformcrs in Brooklyn in Offer

conviction Of dishonest election officers and
fraudulent voters Is an earnest that the forces

ceedingly unintelligent and untrustwortny. ~
NAV not have been the Fran that they saw

waters II II was the Franz they are poor
Judges at long range OF the way In WHICH

dsputable authority that at the beginning OF
August when the Fran entered II. the nara
Sea was free from ice. 1t Is hardly to be De-
lieyed that a few days later Its waters were so
choked with ice as not to be easily navigaDie.
For two or three hundred years the Kara sea
has been regularly used by merchant craft>as
n trade route and such a thing as its being
blocked with ice in August or September is al
most unheard Of
Then our tale-teIIIng traveller, who processes
to have visited the ship frequently at Yugorski
Strait. saws that ut was the general opinion"
there that she was too deeply loaded and too
cumbersome to get through the ice and that
DIR. Nansen was melancholy and troubled Now
It is an indlsputable fact that DR.. Nansen and
other members OF the party sent home long
messages from Yugorsk Strait just before
they left 1t for the Kara Sea, and every word
therein indicated that all was we'll The ship
was II, ideal TRIM Dr. hansen and all his COM
rades were In the best of health. spirits and
confidence The sea was open and icelcss be-
fore them And there was no reason to ex-
meet that they would meet with any ice until
thew had passed the Lena Delta and turned tow
ard the New Siberian Islands. Doubtless the
Russians were right in saying that If the Fran
were at that time drifting in the Kara
Sea she must have returned thither; for she
should have passed Kotelnoi early In Septem-
ber and should now be far beyond the limits
of all other ventures. her way to the pole
But If she did thus return it was not for fear
of being crushed in the ice. The Fran cannot
be crushed. The lines of her hull are siich as
to render that catastrophe impossible Nipped
between foes, or caught in the pack she would
merely be lifted up until she lay, clear and UNI
harmed upon the surface of the Ice
There seems therefore no reason FOR regard
ing this pessimistic story with serious concern.
It's every detail Is discredted No one can tell
of course, what has happened since the FRAN
sailed out from Yugorsk Strait and headed for
the northeast. She may have been destroyed
with all her company, or she may at TINS
moment be safe and sound at the North Pole
But there is as yet no cause to think anything
else than that she is proceeding according TO
original expectations, and Is now drifting pole

Of De Long and Jeanette islands.

A HARVEsT OR FAKIRs.
That's What Sunday Closing Of the,
Worlds Fair Means.

Tens Of thousands of men and women
wandered aimlessly up and down the
tlloroug hfaress outside the Worlds Fair
grounds Sunday, peering Wistfully
through the closed gates Of the white
city and murmuring regrets at their ina
billy to gain admittance. Some of the
louder spoken ones called down maleeiie-
tons on the powers that sealed the beau
ties Of the fair to them, but on the
whole the crowd was an orderly one.
Men kept their temp rs, evidentl oyed
by the belief that it would the last .day
OF Sunday closing. It was by far the
largest Sunday turnout since the ex posi-.
ton opened. /.
transportation lines and the army Of
fakirs located in the vicinity of the
grounds did an enormous business. From
early morning until dark the elevated
road, the cable lines, the steamers and
the suburban trains poured continuous
l. - ~
stream Of humanity into the streets sur
rounding the grounds. Dozens Of police
men were kept busy in preventing street
blockades. The pressure was in a large
measure doubtless due to an i'll defined
hope that the closing order might Be re,
voked during the day. Many doubted
the truth of the announcements that the
fair would be closed today until denied
admittance by the gatekecpers. The
fakirs fourished as never before. Tie
crowd had money, and not being able to
spend tin the exposition, they turned
to the cheap amusements in the vicinity.
Hundreds Of shouters yelled themselves
hoarse and rendered the day hldeous in
their efforts to secure their share of the
golden harvest. As night drew near the
rush for home began, and for two hours
every means Of transportation was tested
to its fullest capacity. i.
