when they attempted to use the phones

They went to Secretary Ely in great
Indignation. but Mr. Ely simply look cd

The Rev. Dr. Parkhurst's statement
concerning the "misdeeds of one whose
association with the courts would seem
to afford proof OF integrity of mind and
purity of heart" created much comment
In political circles to-day. particularly
In the District Attorneys office.
The statement was made last night in
an attack upon Tammany Hall. at the
meeting of the Baptist Social Union in
the Windsor Hotel.
II had the story from her own lips to-
day." said DR.. Parkhurst. "Seventy-fve
per cent. Of you would recognize her
name wish I might tell you of the
outrageous, vicious. foul and damnable
treatment Of this man who has been
prominently associated with the office
Of District-Attorney of this city"
When he was seen at his house this
morning by an Evening World' report
what he said last night.
The young woman, he said. bears
an honored name and belongs to a
splendid family. She came yesterday
far as know now, she does not intend
to resort to legal measures to right her
wrongs"
DR.. Parkhurst declined to give the
that she might be seen and her consent
obtained to publication of her story.
Asked whether he expected anything
OF the Lexow Committee, which he said
would reconvene next week or early the
week following, DR.. Parkhurst said. EN-
phatically:
Yes SIR; do"
Continuing, DIR. Parkhurst said that
the City Vigilance League would at once
inaugurate an active campaign,- which
would be continued till November.
Then the Doctor gave Gov. Flower a

Governors chair. Senator Saxton made
splendid address. There was the true
ring in It. He is a man of splendid fibre
and is making hard fight for good Gov
ernment."
In the absence of istrict-Attorney
Fellows this morning, Vernon NJ. Davis,
Assistant District-Attorney. spoke for
the office. He said he hadn't the faintest

Colossal Fortunes.

By calculation made year or two ago
by an American sta,istician it seems that sew
enty citizens of the United States possessed
among them an aggregate wealth OF f540,-
600. 900. This gives an average of about
81, 500. 600 apiece. To come to particulars:
There was one estate. we refrain from men,
tioning names. returned as worth no less
than f30. .0o0, GOO. There were five individuals
valued at 10000. 900: one valued at El4.-
000 900; two valued at G12 ,000. 600; six valued
at SO. .O0O, 900: six valued at ES. GOO 900: four
valued at 81 900. 900; thirteen valued at &C.,
600 900; ten valued at $4,000, COO; four valued
at "a, ,s0O. 900: and fifteen at 81 ,000, 900. The
brain reels before such figures. They ex-
press measures OF wealth which the ordinary
mortal is powerless to grasp. Besides
these seventy colossal fortunes. there
are fifty other persons in the northern
states alone valued at over 60 .000. .0o0
each. thirty OF them being valued in all at
$50, 100000. There were some little time ago
published lists of six;y-three millionaires in
Pennsylvania possessing in the aggregate

lagos near New York whose wealth aggre-
gates Gl00. .000. GOO. In Boston fifty families

TWO POLITICAL FAITHS.
Senator McLaurir and Representative Nc
Laurin Have Been Misunderstood.

Senator McLaurin and Representative Nc
Laurin Have Been Misunderstood.
dispatch from Washington sent to the
New Orleans papers, a few days ago. regard
ing the contemplated formation OF a new
party, does Senator A. J. MeLaurin an in
justice. The news telegram printed in the
Picayune states that Senator McLaurin was
the moving spirit in the new organization.
whereas the name should have read Repre-
sentative McLaurin. of South Carolina.
Senator McLaurin is a straightout Demo-
crat. He has belonged to the party ever since
he knew what politics meant, and there is no
power on earth capable of making him
change his political views.
Representative McLaurin. of South Caro-
lima. is a cousin of the Senator's. He is the
author of the movement for a new political
organization. His plan is to call a national
convention of the representative members of
all parties in the South and West. Its pur-
pose is cut loose from the East with its Wall
street influence. Congressman McLaurln
asserts that the South and West do the pro-
ducing of the country, and that her people
should have a hand in the management OF the
Nations affairs.
The South, as Mr.. McLaurin declares, is
for free trade and bImetallism, the West for
bimetallism and free trade. and the East for
monometailism and the Mckinley law.
The only salvation for the producing states,
Congressman McLaurin thinks, is for the two
sections OF the country to pull together polit-
ically, and to that end he is now working.
He hopes to have a convention called be-
fore June. Moreover he imagines when the
November elections roll around that every
nominee for Congress south of the OHIO and
west of the Mississippi opposing Cleveland
will be elected by large majorities.

BIMETALL1sM IN ENGLAND.

By 1t may be Of interest to
know how rapidly the
DAi spirit of bimetallism is grow
AND ing and taking hold of the
rn., people in Great and Greater
Britain. Two years ago We
had, out Of total number of GIL members of
Parliament in England. Ireland, Scot
land, and Wales. representing 6,229, 120 voters,
at that time only fourteen members of Par
lament who were in favor of returning to a
bimetallic currency. But up to date there
has been secured, through the instrument
tality of the Textile Fabric Workers Associa-
ton, located in Lancashire, England, total
of 273 members of Parliament committed in
writing to a reform in the currency laws Of
Great Britain and advising a return to bi-
metallism.
With such remarkable facts before us, and
with the fall of the present government in
England, which can be numbered by weeks,
we shall then in the United Kingdom have
an executive administration committed to a
bimetallic policy which by the voice Of the
people will again place silver where it legally
was, and where it legally should be, side by
side with gold, but at what ratio will depend
the American people. The executives Of
nations are placed in power by the will and
voice of the people, and the mandate of the
people must be obeyed.
In the early part of March Of the present
year the East of Scotland Monetary Associ-
alton addressed the following letter to all
members of Parliament and candidates seek
ing parliamentary honors:
"In view of the intensely acute aspect which
the currency question has now assumed, more
especially as regards the Indian portion of the
British empire, and under belief that the cur
rency question is by far the most important So
ciai problem OF the day. the council of the above
association, whose object it is to secure staple
standard of value for the largest possible area,
and especially between Great Britain and her
colonies and dependencies, have instructed me
to bring the subject prominently under your no
tice, and to ask You kindly TO reply to the fol-
lowing questions:
Have YOU by study Of the question come to
any definite conclusion in your mind as to the
correctness or incorrectness of the opinion that
the main cause in the depression in trade and
is to be found in the existing currency laws, an
opinion which is held by all the professors of po-
litical economy in Great Britain and by large
and rapidly-increasing section Of the public?
'Can you give any valid reasons why the report
of the royal commission gold and silver
issued in 1885, and in which the commissioners
unanimously express the opinion that an inter-
national monetary union is perfectly feasible,
should not be acted upon, and why Great Britain,
who of all nations suffers most from the existing
dislocation of the currency of the world, should
alone stand in the way of an international
monetary agreement being brought about?'
Is there no body OF men in the United
States Of Auerica apart from political in
iuence who will Systematically take this
silver question up on patriotic grounds and
consolidate the will of the people on this
momentous question? NJ. GADD.
