POSTAL NOTE FOLLY.
Postal Notes Lost Is Money Gone Fo
ever.

Postal Notes Lost Is Money Gone For
ever.
WASHINGTON, Dec 19.-The people
of this country are out of pocket $780,
900 on the postal note experiment.
That is to say the difference between
the postal notes sold by the govern
ment and those redeemed from holders
amounts in ten years to this enormous
sum. A postal note lost is as surely
gone as currency dropped through a
hole in the pocket There is no such
thing as going to the post Office and
getting a duplicate order. The Dock
cry commission bill which went
through the house, and which would
have passed the senate as promptly
but for Senator Germans an
tipathy to all reforms, does away with
the postal note entirely. 1t recon-
structs the money order system so that
an order will hereafter do all that the
postal note has done and still carry the
government guarantee and protection
against loss The money order system
is made simpler. The rates are re-
duced. For ten years the money order
business has not increased. while other
branches of the postal service have
grown enormously. The reason of this
is that people have turned to the ex-
press companies which offered cheaper
rates for doing precisely that same
kind of business.
By the Dockery bill the rates Tor
money orders are brought down to the
basis of about what the express COM
panies charge. Senator Gorman's OBJ
struction will probably be but tempo
rary. There are fourteen sections OF
the bill. 1t is so full of commenda BILE
reforms from the business standpoint
that it went through he house without
an objection. This bill is the beginning
of the work of simplifying the red tape
and roundabout, cumbersome methods

the work of the commission appointed

CHICAGO ELECTION.
Hopkins Chosen for Mayor-IIis Electio
to Be Contested.

Hopkins Chosen for Mayor-IIls Election
to Be Contested.
CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-John P. Hop
kins, the democratic candidate for
mayor, was elected over George b.
Swift, his republican rival, by a ma
jority of 1887. The total vote was:
Hopkins (dem.), 112,6Oo; Swift (rep),
ILL., ,3l3; Britzins SOCIALIST labor), 1,511;
Wakely, peoples silver, 367. Total,
225. .s97.
The vote, which was one of the heav-
lest ever polled in the city, shows de-
cided republican gain. The democracy
carried the city by $4,000 in the last
presidential election, and in the county
election last month several of the demo-
cratic candidates had ma ajorities of 1900
n the city. which We're only overcome
by the republican vote in the county.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired for an election day and the full
vote of both parties was polled.
In several of the downtown wards,
where the heavy lodging house vote
resides, the contest was very bitter,
scraps were of frequent occurrenc e
when the police were not on hand. In
all other parts of the city the voting
progressed without 0eident.
Late last night the republican city
central committee decided to contest
the election of Hopkins

SHOCKING MURDER.
Unknown Train Robbers Commit
a Terrible Crin,a
THE MESSENGER IS FOUND DEAD.
Had Been Assassinated at His Desk-Con-
tents of One of the Safes Taken
The Amount Not Stated
No Clew.

New ORLEANS Dec 20.-Train No. 19
on the Southern Pacific road arrived
here just before noon yesterday. The
train had left Houston, Tex, Monday
night at 10 o'clock, where robbers had
boarded it. The robbers entered the
express car and killed Express Mes
senger Richardson and then broke
down the safe and robbed it of its con-
tents, but the express officials decline
to say just how much was taken.
The messenger was shot from behind
while seated at his desk, the bullet
making large hole in the back of his
head. When discovered his body was
lying on the floor of the car at the side
of the chair which he had always occu-
pied. After Richardson had toppled
from his chair the robbers turned his
body over and fired four more shots
into it in order to make sure of their
work. The train was running at a
high rate of speed and, Richardson
being alone, not soul heard the re-
port of the pistols
There were two safes in the car,
small one locked with a key and a
large com bination safe, carrying valua-
BILE packages and money. The COM
bination was telegraphed to New Or
leans and it was opened upon the ar
rival of the train. As far as can be
learned the contents of this safe were
untouched. 1t would have been neces-
sary to use dynamite to open it. The
robbers, however, had no difficulty in
breaking the lock of the smaller safe
and they took all they could. They
l # several packages of silver un-
touched
When the train reached Liberty the
porter of the Pullman coach noticed
that the express messenger did not
come out as was his custom The por-
ter went to the door of the car and
found Richardson lying dead in a pool
of blood The trainmen were called
| and hasty examination was made of
the car inside to discover if any of the
robbers were aboard. The only person
| to whom suspicion attached was a ne
gro, but he gave n straight account of
himself and was released from custody.
Richardson resided in New Orleans,
| and his body will be brought here for
| interment. The trainmen are una BILE
| to say when the murderers escaped.
The engineer had seen two negroes on
| the blind baggage, but believed they
were tramps stealing a ride and paid
no attention to them. The trainmen
do not believe the act was committed
| by negroes

PLAYED 1T FINE.

A Fraud Brusquely Claims and Gets DAM
ages for the Killing of an Alleged Wife
at q Crossing.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Dec 19-HarTey
Spoonberg, residing in the lower end of
the county, has gotten himself into
trouble. One day last October he was
out driving with stylishly dressed
woman. While attempting to cross the
Pennsylvania railroad at Cranberry,
the buggy was struck by a passenger
train and demolished. Spoomberg es-
capped injury, but the woman by mis-
side was killed. The widower
purchased a yard of Grape,
wound it around his high hat and
then went in search of local agent of
the railroad company. He threatened
to bring suit for the loss of his wife.
The agent of the company compromised
and he was given 5000. That was the
last heard of him until Saturday. A
week after the company had paid over
the money to Spoonberg the company
received a letter stating that Spoonberg
had deceived them, that the woman
killed was not his wife and that the
latter was living in Milroy. Detective
Heffernan was placed on the case. He
went to Milroy and found the real wife,
who amply esta blished her identity
and swore to the required affidavits.
Armed with these Heffernan reported
to the company and a warrant was
sworn out for the sly Harvey. He
heard of it. and though Heffernan was
on his heels for three days and nights,
managed to escape arrest until yester-
day morning, when he was captured at
Briar creek, near Burwick, and brought
to town, where. in default of $1,000
bail, he was sent to Jail. The charge
is securing money under false pre-
fanSaS

DEMOCRATIC FLIMFLAM.

After Thirty Years of Opposition to the
National Banks, Democracy Becomes
Their Warmest Friends.
Cleveland's comptroller of the cur
rency, in his annual report, urges con-
gress to be more liberal with the ma
tional banks.
Recommends that the government
give them 500 of cash upon the 800 of
bonds, instead of the 800, which the re-
publicans allowed them.
Also says the republican tax of one
per cent upon these poor corporation
orphans is too heavy.
Says that the tax should be reduced
TO one-fourth of one per cent. Charley
Moses will be pleased at this.
Republicans did it," said all the
democrats
Did what?
Chartered and rechartered the ma
tional banks.
''We have ALWAYS fought them," said
the democrats
So they did when votes were to be
made in order that democrats might
ride into place and power.
But now they are in.
Cdh duOTu " iOT-
get the people and return to their real
pets and cronies, the corporations
From one end of the line to the other,
from the White house down to the At
lanta car-shed, there is a unanimous
and belligerent championship of the
interests of the corporations
Especially Of the corporation "or-
p,lans."
Here's the democratic programme:
Let the capitalist invest $40, 900 in
bonds.
He will then be exempted from all
taxation, whatsoever.
He will be paid, in gold, the interest
upon the bonds
money, guaranteed by the government,
to the full extent Of s10,oo
He will be allowed to lend that money
to the business world at from to 80
per cent while it costs him but one
fourth of one per cent
Thus the $40, 900 draws interest twice,
and both times the people have it to
pay-once in taxes to the government,
and once in interest to the bankers
The bankers pay nothing either way,
except the one-fourth of one per cent
This is the democratic programme
as announced by Cleveland's man
EckIes
This is the very scheme the demo
cratic campaign book denounced tho
republicans for advocating.
The last act of Harrison's admins
tration was to put stop to the Wall
street plot to force more bonds
1t is astounding that the first regu-
lar message of Grover Cleveland should
demand from congress a more specific
authority to issue bonds = Peoples
Party Paper.

WHAT WILL CONGRESS Dop

BY Forcing the Issue Populiat Members
May BE Able to Differen late Friends and
Foss.
The first regular session of the pres
ent congress met in Washington. Mon
day, Dec. 4. Its meeting finds the
country in the same deplorable condi-
tion under which it labored at the time
of the assembling of the special session
on the eth of last August Markets
were then depressed and trade stag
nant; they are more depressed and
trade no less stagnant to-day. Mills
and factories were closing then; they
are still closed to-day. Labor was idle
and in want: it still wants and remains
idle. An epidemic of disaster was at
that time sweeping the business houses
of the country down to financial ruin,
at the rate of hundreds a week; that
epidemic is still creating undiminished
havoc among the various commercial
establishments
The situation has, in fact, become
worse, to the extent that little or no
reason for any improvement in the
present gloomy conditions can be dis
cerned, unless it shall be as the result
of favorable action on the part of con-
gress. With the value of the dollar in
hated to a point where the interest
gatherers of the east and Europe, are
practically enabled to absorb the sur
plus products of the country annually
for interest, no improvement of any
consequence can reasonably be ex-
pected until some law is passed tending
to increase the price of commodities,
and scaling down the value of the dol
lar
Will such a law be passed by the
present congress? One thing seems
very certain, if passed at all, it must
be passed over presidential veto, for
there is no probability that the present
executive will allow such a measure as
we have indicated to pass otherwise.
Not even a silver bill which will be OF
the slightest benefit to the prostrated
lowed to pass without a veto, and un.
less the majority in congress shall show
vastly more independence and courage
than they exhibited at the special ses-
sion last August, no successful effort
can be made even to submit such a
measure to the president, much less
can it be passed over his veto 1t ID
very doubtful if even so questionable a
means for temporary relief can be
passed as would be the issue Of interest
bearing treasury obligations of small
denominations, to meet the prospective
treasury deficit, which might, to that
amount, circulate as money. But
this plan is weak and Intellectual,
| at best, and is believed to have the
opposition of the president.
About all that it now appears pos
sible for the friends of American inter
ests in congress to do at the present
session is to draw more plainly the
lines between themselves and the Anglo
maniacs, forcing few of the latter
who seem to have heretofore been
skulking in the Ameriran camp to more
plainly identify themselves with the
other side. And, SO far as can be fore
told, that effort will form the most in
teresting features of the present ses
sion.-Iowa Farmers Tribune.
