equal citizenship in the constitution. The
dignity of the nation is On the side of JUS
uce. The southern states may be great but
the United States is greater. The whole
will be more than part. The plank will
bend to the ship. Civilization will overlesp
state boundaries. Justice, liberty and reli-
gion have no geographical limits, and men
will conform IN habits, manners and Gus
toms TO the larger ideas of the nation.
In her annual report Miss Emerson,
secretary of Women's Work, said There
are now Al organiz atoms for woman's work
upon practically the union plan. From 90
that have contributed we received for this
work 3,115, Including S2.52 from Maine.
The total amount is an advance
of S2S92, over the contributors last year.
To meet the frequent requests for definite
objects of the work. the sssocis-
ton divided the cost of missions
in various fields into portions, ems bling
state organizations, local missionary socie-
ties, Christian Endeavor societies, of Sunday
schools, to have their own special work.
Three hundred and ninety women have
been busy in this A. NJ. A. field of
missions during the last year. Thess omen
have been conn cted with 100 schools
and churches of the American Missionary
Association. There are hundreds of young
colored men and women who 60 out from
our Christian schools every year to the
darkest places and most hostile. If we
would bring the Indian into Christian civil
ljzation there must be homes with intelh-
gent Christian mothers

Crank Calls on Cleveland.

New YORK, oct. 25.--Mr. Cleveland
spent quiet day today, and had very few
callers. A man who gave his name a:
Richard r. Goedler 4lj West 51th street
called at DR.. Brysnt's this morning and de-
manded to see MIR. Cleveland on very in
portant business. He was refused sdmis-
sion, and went away after an argument with
the doorkeeper. Goeder is ssii to be the
man who challenged the Emperor William
to a 6uel two years ago.
Goedler said that he had been trying to
see the President for two years in order to
pipg away the stain which had been put
upon him by incarceration in lunatic
asylum in Germany. He said he had chal-
lenged Emperor William to duel but the
latter was coward and had him put IN an
asylum. President Cleveland was the only
man who could wipe awsy the stain now
resting upon him.

DOUBtf CERTAIN
Is the UeIcat Of Hill Now that Iammany Re-
fuses 10 Sacrifice Tor Him.

| NEW YORK, Oct. p The dsinclination
of Tsmmsny Hall to offer It's favorite sons
So a sacrifice TO the vsuling ambition of
Senator Hill is daily more marked.
In their effort 10 induce Tsmmsny Hall
| TO withdraw their own candidates for Con-
gress 10 two districts in favor of the seec-
tons of the Cleveland or state Democracy,
Senators Hill and Faulkner have been met
| by an arrogant Tammany refusal from the
selfish standpoint of that organization of
! place seekers.
| What is Tammsny Hall to gain then, by
"harmony?' she asks. Nothing, she re-
| plies for herself, but the surrender of the
| barely possible chance of electing her own
candidates for Assembly and Congress and
at the same time afford Democrats opposed
to Tammany Hall an easy, convenient way
to register their protest against the domina-
ton of the ring.
| The result would be to make doubly sure
the defeat of Tammany Hall, already omni-
ously presaged.
| And so it happens that after struggling
with the subject Senator Hill has not sue
ceeded in securing that harmony which he
knows is absolutely necessary to cave him
from overwhelming defeOt.
Tammany Hall doesn't care rap whether
the Democratic party carries the state or
not. There is very little plunder to be d.
vided by state administration. Tile braves
don't care, either whether Dave Hill
succeeds in bis ambition to be the Presi-
dental candidate in 1896 or not. They are
not Democrats on principle, but for what
they can get out of it, and the success Of
the party at large is not OF the slightest con-
sequence to them.
| There is budget Of $50 900 900 or
thereabouts to be distributed in New York
each year, and it's share in that that
makes Tammanyites active. So long as
they are permitted to carry the keys to the
municipal treasury, it matters little to their
political heelers whether the state and ma
ton are governed by the Republicans or
not.
| James J. Walsh and Gen. Daniel T..
Sickles, visiting Senator Hill at the Park
Avenue hotel, in response to a summons,
positively refused to permit the bosses TO
take their names off the ticket. Jimmie
| Walsh said that he had been nominated by
the people; that Edward j. Dunphy, the
| Grace Cleveland candidate, had sent in his
resignation to Mr.. Grace.
Then young George b. Mcclellan, the
'son of his father" was sent for. He was
submissive and may ultimately be taken out
of the way. State Senator Jacob A. Can
tor, candidate for Congress in the Fifteenth
| District, next answered Senator Hills sum
mons, but he Indignantly refused to con-
slider the proposition to withdraw his nama
| from the canvass.
! The failure 20 bring the factions together
means TO Senator Hill divided house and
| his defeat msde doubly certain.

Epidemic at Washington and Has Caused a
Scare in The Departments.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Secretary Smith
today issued a general order that every BODY
in the interior department shall be vaccin-
ated forthwith in view of the prevalence Of
smallpox in the city.
Several days ago baby named Ruth
Castan died of smallpox. The chiid's
father is an employee in the pension office,
and he communicated the disease to Judge
E. M. Rucker of the law department of the
pension bureau and William Owens, mes
senger. Judge Rucker lives at a boarding
house containing 26 guests. Some have
become frightened and left, while others
are quarantined. Three colored women en-
ployed at the Castan residence caught the
disease. One, Mary Mundel, is dead, and
Mary Thomas and Mary Brown have viru-
lent cases.
Considerable excitement prevails among
the clerks in the pension office over the
matter. The patients have been removed
to the hospital for contagious diseases, and
the health department is taking every sani
tary precaution to prevent the spreading OF
the disease.

Smallpox Among Department Clerk
at Washington,
All the Employees in The intsrior Department
Rust be Vaccinated.

HARTFORD, CT, Oct. 25.-Two of the
largest savings banks in the city, the So
ciety for Savings and the Mechanics Saw
ings Bank, have notified all large deposit
tors, especially those having $4,000 in one
deposit, to reduce the amount to below
$4,000. This step was taken in view
of the provisions of the income
tax law which provides that all
sevings institutions of mutual or no
capitalized organization which have indi-
vidual deposits amounting to $4,000 or
more or receive $4,000 or more from an
individual depositor in year is liable to a
tax of 2 per cent. on the entire income of
the bank. The provisions of the law which
require that no savings bank shall have 3
surplus fund exceeding 10 per cent. of ag-
gregate deposits will cause the tax to be
levied on many banks in the state which
now exceed the limit.

BERLIN, Oct 25 "A dispatch from st.
Petersburg to the Cologne Gazette says the
Gar heard the intimation of his physicians
