Private Paper vs.. Money or The
MINIS.

st. Louis Republic.
In business, money is used to
facilitate the exchange of commod-
tiles, but, outside of the business
of. exchanging commodities, there is
a class men who deal in money
as a commodity, and these are now
rallying for an attempt to assure
to themselves such control of the
circulation of money as well en-
able them to take toll on all the
business of the country. 1t is a
high stake they are playing for,
and will stop at nothing as long as
there is hope of success.
They have formulated we'll de-
fined plan of action, and it is easy
now to see what it is. Under the
Harrison administration they have
done every thing they could to
prevent the National debt from be-
ing met at or before maturity.
They secured a default on $25,000,-
600 of bonds due and payable and
then had them extended indefin-
itely. They have so managed the
Treasury through their agents in
the Republican party that when
Harrison goes out he will leave a
default on the sinking fund for the
redemption Of the outstanding
bonds, and through Harrison they
have recommended to congress
that the appropriations for the
sinking fund be suspended. There
can be no doubt of their determi-
nation to prevent the debt from he
ing paid.
The issue they are forcing is be-
tween the mints Of the patton and
the paper factories. They are OPP
posed to u currency Of gold and
silver, controlled only by the sup
ply ofthose metals They wish to
stop the minis that they may subs
titute for coin paper promises to-
pay that are not money at all, but
are merely corporation tokens to

We Are Deluged With Tears.

We plead guilty to being so ten
der hearted that it is impossible
for US to contemplate grief in any
one for whom we have friendly
feelings without being overcome
with sorrow and blubbering like il
school girl.
We have tried to overcome this
weak propensity, but our efforts
are useless.
We wish we could contemplate
the sad downfall of Pursell with
equanimity, but his calamities are
too great and too numerous for our
sympathetic nature, and so we
shed tears in II deluge, as it were.
When we think of Pursell, as he
was only few months ago, and
compare the condition then, with
the condition now, we feel as
though our whole frame was Il els
tern and our eyes were the nozzles
of two pumps, the handles of which
were being necessarily and rapid
ly worked by the demon of grief.
Then, Pursell was in the acme of
his power and the zenith of his
glory.
1t is true Mckay, and The Jour-
nal, had appeared, but that was
only cloud not larger than mans
hand, and only tended to give zest
to his lordly supremacy.

Now ItIs Justice Lamar.

Now II Is Justice Lamar.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t cannot he said that the death
of Justice Lamar of the United
States supreme court was II sup
prise, for he has been in failing
health for some time, but it came
unexpectedly because there had
been no intimation that he was
worse than usual. With but short
intervals announcements have
been made of the unexpected
deaths of Gen. Butler, EX-Presi-
dent Hayes, Bishop Phillip
Brooks, and Justic Lamar. The
morning paper is taken up now
with the question, WHO'S it to-day? ?
The death of Justice Lamar
makes vacancy in the supreme
court when the term of one presi-
dent is expiring and that of II presi-
dent of different politices near at
hand. Speculation as to the action
of President Harrison in the case
began as soon as the death was
known. OF the nine justices on
the suprem bench previous to the
death of Lamar, President Cleve-
land had appointed two-Chief
Justice Fuller and Justice Lamar,
and president Harrison three
Justices Brewer, Brown and Shiras.
1t was expected that the place Of
Lamar would BE- filled by appoint
ment of President Cleveland, as ill
health would compel the retiement
of the justice although he had not
served long enough to Gntitle him
to retiring salary. 1t was under
stood that the case would probably
be met by special bill, Lamar be-
ing comparatively poor. The ques-
tion is whether President Harrison
will insist on his right to appoint q
Republican successor or leave the
place open until the inauguration
of president Cleveland. The pro-
prieties would suggest the latter
course, but there will be strong
party pressure in favor of the for
mer.
Possibly the temper of the senate
may determine the course of Presi-
dent Harrison if no other consider
alton does. 1t must be an eXcep-
tionally strong appointment that
can pass the senate at this time
without the bitterest opposition.
The action on the nomination of
McComas indicates that. The
nomination has been hung up for
weeks and is not unlikely to be
still on the hooks when the pres
ent congress comes to an end.
The nomination of Republican to
succeed Il Democrat under exist
Ing circumstances WOulu surely re-
suit in dilatory tactics to defeat
confirmation and there might be
enough Republicans to aid the
Democrats in refusing confirmation
if the matter should be forced to a
vote. 1t has been suggested that
the president might appoint Judge
Gresham, justifying his action on
the ground that he was Republi-
can, but voted for cleveland, and
therefore ought to satisfy both par
ties 1t is questionable if Presi-
dent Harrison will take such a
course. 1t is hardly like him. He
is more likely to appoint straight
out Republican or leave the mat
ter to his successor, giving him an
opportunity to appoint Judge
| Gresham if he wants to.

LoTHRoP's OPERA HOUSE
"Aiichaei strogofr' the Play to be Give
Next Week.

"Michael srrogon-' the Play to be Given
Next Week.
The favorite actor, Max Freeman, comes
to this popular theatre next week, and
will appear In the spectacular production
dramatiEed form Jules Verne's great
work, entitled "Michael Stogron." The
play, az given at Lothrop's Opera House,
Providence, is spoken Of by the old con-
servative Journal of that city as follows:
"The second week of the season at Lo-
throp's Opera House opened auspiciously
yesterday, the bill being the spectacular
play entitled Michael strogoff; or, the
Courier of the Gar 1t was petentious
undertaking, as the spectacle has been
presented only In theatres with extra
roomy stages. To the general theatregoer
there was room enough for the play upon
Lothrop's newly enlarged stage, and 1t
was played In praiseworthy manner by
the stock company, headed by Max Free
man, VINO enacted the heroic and pictur-
esque part of Michael Strogon.
"Mr. Freeman Is favorite In thislcity,
and his reception was cordial and
spontaneous. The titular role was es-
pecially adapted to his style of acting, and
he gave It a forceful and attractive inter-
probation. K. p. Sullivan, a new conner,
but an experienced and accomplished
actor, gave very strong impersonation
of the villainous part of Ivan Ogenoff.
His personality Just suited the character,
and he made 1t unusually noticeable by
stagecraft and several handsome costumes.
"The others In the cast included John
Weber, James l.. Byrne, w. II. Danvers,
J. J. Williams, Fred e. Beane, Z. J.
Dawson, T. II. Gray, w. II. Homer, II.
McDonns, J. r. Allen, Charles X. Harris,
Samuel Smith, B. X. Allyne, Miss Emma
Dunn, Miss Hattie Morris, Miss Nina
Saville and Miss Ellen Mortimer. Each
part was we'll played, everything consid-
cred, and the play was excellently put
upon the stage under the experienced di-
rection of T. G. Howard, q veteran stage
manager and actor.
"The scenery was all new, and painted
especially for this production. Altogether
Michael Strogon' was very satisfying
performance to the.large number that saw
1t yesterday afternoon and evening. The
same bill will be continued throughout
the week."

ALONG THE BLACKSTONE VALLEY.
VALLEY FALLS.

Whenever certain newspaper corre-
spondents find themselves short of some
thing to write about they fall back on the
well-wo subject OF the local postmaster
ship. They write in ex-cathedra STYLE
as II their lines were to be taken as per-
fectly true,-and claim to have inside
sources of information.
The latest statement made by these well
informed reporters Is that Messrs. Bernard
McKenna and John J. Noonan, between
whom so far as the general public Is
aware, the contest for the honorable and
fairly lucrative position has been wnged
up to this time, are to have rival In the
person of a gentleman "well known about
town and who has held several important
town Offices"
Now, as a matter OF fact, this new state
ment is not news TO those whose business
1t Is to keep informed as to political affairs.
IL has been known for a considerable time
over five months, that an ex-office holder
of Cum berland had an ambition to serve
his country in the capacity of Postmaster
OF Valley Falls, and, Though the citizen
In question did not circulate a petition
asking for the office, there are prominent
Democrats In both Cumberland and Lin
coin who have been requested to aid him
In securing the place.
1t has been represented to certain men,
bers of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee that the gentleman referred to
would make IAN excellent compromise
appointee," but these members are not
inclined to view the matter that way.
They incline to the belief that
man who wishes for position
should make an open fight for 1t.
They don't favor dark alley politics, and
will not be found supporting any man
who, fearing to meet an opponent In fair
and honorable contest, relies upon sup
posed "pull" with influential members OF
of his party to obtain an Office he Is too
cautious or too cowardly to fight for.
One thing everybody will agree to, and
that is that an appointment should be
made at this office at once. Just why the
present incumbent, an excellent gentle
| man personally, should be allowed to re-
main In Office under an administration
which he did as much as he could to pre-
vent puzzles the men who gave money,
time and votes to help elect President
Cleveland.
Another month nearly ended and still
no captain Of police.
The corner of Mill and Broad streets Is

POISONED BY SEWERAGE.
Death Results From Eating Crabs Which We're
Cooked In Filthy Water.

NEW YORK, Aug. Son Sunday last
party consisting Of Mrs. Lewis, aged 81,
John Morse, negro, Catharine Collins,
rs years old. and Gus Hasslaoher, aged 10,
at West Bergen, were enjoying a crab sup
per. Suddenly Morse staggered across
the room and shouted that he was
poisoned. He was In terrible agony, and
died within IS hours. A post morten ex-
animation revealed the fact that he died
from cholera morbus.
The incident did not break up the rev.
elry, for it is shown that the party kept
on eating and drinking until Tuesday,
when some one of the party went fishing
and caught large number Of crabs
which were boiled from water taken from
the steel works. Three victims were taken
sick the sane night. Gus Hasslacher was
taken to his home, where he died on
Thursday. Mrs. Ann Lewis died the same
day.
The last victim, Catharine Collins, died
yesterday at her home. At first 1t was
thought that cholera had broken out, and
excitement ran high. A consultation
among the health officers last flight ended
In the unanimous opinion that the sewer
age Of the steel works, which empties into
the river, poisons IL with animal matter.
The crabs eating the seaweed take the
poison into their system: and thus become

A WARM FRIENDSHIP
Results In Twenty Thousand Dollar WndfaIi
10 a Waltham Widow.

WALTHAM, Mass, Aug 2o Mrs. Frank
Y. Gibbs, q widow resident at the corner
Of Main and Weston streets, has fallen
heir to fortune estimated at from $4,000
to SO 900 In manner as romantic as il is
unusual. Mrs. Gibbs and Mrs. Charles
Landrock of Omaha have been lifelong
friends, commencing their intimacy when
they we're very little girls together at
school. At that time Mrs. Landrock's
name was Mille Page. her father being
proprietor of the Central House. When
she was married, % or 80 years ago, she
went west, where she has since been max
ing her home. Mr.. Landrock became the
owner of valuable land In Omaha He
died two years ago and the property fell to
the widow.
A very short time ago Mrs. Landrock
died, and now Mrs. Gibbs is notified that
she has been left sole heiress to this large
property. A year ago large sum was
offered Mrs. Landrock for this land, but
she declined TO accept it. 1t Is rapidly
growing In value. AS yet It has not been
decided what disposition will be made by
the administrator, and so Mrs Gibbs does
not yet know exactly the sum she will
realize.

People Are Wondering what Has Become
of the Project.
People are beginning to ask what has
became OF the committee appointed to Sc
lect site for an armory and also what
they have done or are going to do.
The committee Is composed OF Frederick
Easton, chairman; Charles II. Dennis,
secretary; Eastwood Eastwood, Wheaton
Cole and Adjutant General Dyer. TRI-
BUNE man had talk with Mr.. Cole yes
terday and that gentleman said he was at
loss to know Yhy tho committee have
not been called together and some action
taken. He said that there had been only
one meeting and then all they did was to
organize.
Mr.. Cole wrote TO Mr.. Easton Thursday
asking the reason for delay and had not
received reply yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Cole thought the committee was doing
wrong to remain thus inactive after such
hard work had been put In to secure the
appropriation OF 10000 for the armory.
1t required considerable labor to got the
legislature thinking that Pawtucket
should have an armory.
Therefore having succeeded In getting
the appropriation the committee should
not rest on their oars, but rather be up
and doing. The sooner move Is made
the better.
The members OF the. different companies
begin to think that the committee has
forgotten that the quarters the companies
now occupy are not what are needed.
Mr. Cole said three proposals to sell
land for site were received. One was
for the Bates land on Exchange street and
another was the Hill estate on Main
street, above the Merchants Exchange.
No action was taken on either.
lie said he was In favor OF the building
being nothing but an armory. Some
talked OF having stores on the first floor,
but he did not like the plan.
He also said that he did not approve OF
spen ding half OF the Appropriation for
site and not have sufficient left to put up
the building.
The committee should get together and
do something for the soldier boys want
that armory as does every other resident
OF Pawtucket.
