worth S25, 900 as the prize, from the mine
owned by the Gilt Edge Company, at Marden,
to this place, 100 miles away, which was
won by a New York lawyer, to the discom-
future Of several deputy sherifs, is still talked
about.
r. A. Ammon, the lawyer, is Secretary Of
the Gilt Edge Mining Company. A few days
ago he went to the nina to pay off the miners
in the employ of his company.
The merchants of Lewiston, an adjoining
town, heard of this, and fastened to present
their bills for supplies furnished 10 the mining
company.
Ammon was not ready to meet their bills and
determined that they should not be able to
force him to do so until he was ready.
He put l 0OO pounds OF bullion into wagon,
to which he hitched the best team of horses
owrsi by the company, and start I'd for here.
In an hour or two the merchants, accom-
panied by deputy sheriffs, called at the mine
to collect their bills. Soon they discovered
what had happened and set out to get the
bullion.

Ammon. but he gave him the slip each time
INC finally reached here and sold the bullion
to the Cascade Bank.
MIR. Ammon said yesterday that he Is going
to the East to- morrow and will come back with

that the Lewiston merchants will have to wait
till he feels like paying them.

BANNERS FROM FAIR HANDS.
Presented to the Five Good Government

Handsome silk banners were presented last
night to the five Good Government Clubs of
this city. They were gifts from Mrs. Joseph
II. Choate, Mrs. r. Fulton Cutting. Mrs.
RichaHl Watson Glider, Mrs. Abram 8. Hewitt,
Mrs. Richard W. Il aud Miss Durham. The
presentations were made at the nall of the
Good Government Club at Lexington avenue
and Fifty eighth street. The presentation
speech was made by Amos Parker Wilder.
There were about a thousand spectators.
Gen. Wager Swayne delivered an address in
which he told of the successful campaigns
carried Oh by the Good Government Clubs in
at least three of the city Assembly Districts
last fall, and predicted that next fall Tammany
would be given q grand trouncing. There was
much laughter when the Mendelssohn and
dudley Buck quartet sang a song of Richard
Croker, which treated OF ''bosscs. boss rule
and boss riches, trotting horses and speedway
stretches which leave people in the bitches.
Then Bishop Potter made a speech compli-
menting the clubs upon their effective organiza-
ton. and closed with an appeal to all lovers of
good government to join in the crusade for
pure municipal rule.
The Good Government" banners are to be
taken to Philadelphia to. morrow by delegates

The nomination OF WHEELER II.
PEcKHAM to be Justice OF the Supreme
Court is one quite free from the posi-
bility of such objection as was urged
against that OF Mr.. HORSEPOWER. Mr..
PEckHAM's distinction at the bar is
ample to justify the assumption that he
is qualified, in point of learning and
ability, for high judicial place. On the
other hand, Mr.. PEcKHAM's relations to
the factional controversies in New York
State politics are such as TO provoke a
renewal Of the feud between the Presi =
dent and the New York Senators, and
probably to accentuate the bitterness OF
that quarrel. The nomination creates
a situation which may bring on n deter
mined and bitter struggle TO decide
whether the President or the New York
Senators are the stronger in the Senate.
Such a contest for mastery will be full
of interesting possibilities, not all Of
them free from peril to grave public
interests.

QUAY A %REPUDIATOR.

Senator Quay, OF Pennsylvania, has
made an assault upon the credit of the
Government. lie has announced him :
self in favor of %repudiating the bonds
which Mr.. CARLISLE is about to issue.
lie throws doubt upon their validity
and suggests that investors will take
them at their peril.
MIR. Quay as a Senator would have n
vote on such a measure as that at which
he hints. His announcement that he
is willing to repudiatc the Government :
obligations is therefore of some impor
lance. Ii may be that he is willing TO
introduce u bill rcpudiating the bonds
after their sale. He may be willing to
discredit the country and to bring upon
it that odiuIn which has attached to the
States that have robbed their creditors,
but it is to be hoped that not many OF
his fellow Senators are OF his way OF
thinking.
He evidently expects Republican
support, for he calls On the protected
manufacturers and their political allies
TO prevent the bond issue. He inhames
their cupidity by telling them that ii
they strike a fatal blow at the country
credit and prevent it from borrowing
money the taxes on the necessaries OF
life which go to increase their wealth
cannot be reduced.
So far this is QuAy's individual
treachery. No n else has as yet had
the temerity TO propose reputation and
national disgrace to sustain the McKin =
ley law. 1t is the wickedest onslaught
on the nation that has been made since
disunion was attempted in order 10 save

Il BETTER DATE.

The Tariff bill as reported by the
Committee of Ways and Means fixed
Aug. /, 1894, as the date when the
free wool clause should go into effect.
This was intended to give the manu- =
facturers who Use wool a reasonable
time for working off their products
made of taxed wool, and otherwise
adapting themselves to the changed
conditions.
But in Committee Of the Whole an
amendment making the free wool clause
take effect Immediately upon the pas :
sage of the bill was adopted. This com :
mittee amendment has yet to be voted
upon by the House. 1t ought to be re-
jected.
II Is contrary to the theory Of this
bill to work unnecessary harm to any
interests. The interests of the con-
sumers who have suffered %grievously
under the Mckinley tariff are primarily
to be considered, but not in q spirit Of
revenge. Those who are engaged in a
business which requires some time for
its readjustment should have the neces-
sary changes made as convenient to
them rs practicable.
1t will be a great thing to get wool put
On the free list. II nothing else were
accomplished, this alone would be a
notable reform. 1t would surely lead to
others. 1t is really the vital feature Of
the Wilson bill. A matter Of three or
even OF six months in the date when
wool shall become free is relatively Of
small importance. Certainly it is not
worth the risk Of losing any votes for the
bill as n whole.
The House will be wise to keep close
to the programme of Mr.. WILSON'S
committee. The impatient reformers
will make most speed in this way.

THE SHAME OF N

CLEVELAND was elected the National

quencc of the prohibitiyc ti1cs which prevent

together with such further legislation In re.
straint OF their abuses rs experience may show
to be necessary.
Many of the declarations In that
platform were opposed and ~tiercely de :
bated in the committee which framed
the Democratic creed of 1892. Many
of them were modified and made the
subjects of compromise. Not 30 with
this declaration. 1t was enthusiastically
and unanimously adopted in the com :
mittee as an utterance of the common
thought Of Democracy throughout the
Union. When it was read in conven =
ton the applause, bursting from the
lips of every member OF every delega :

of the proceedings.
Did these things mean ANYTHING
Was the declaration SO enthusiastically
received a true expression OF Demo
cratic thought, or was it a hollow
mockery OF empty words? Did the
promise thus made of relentless wal

CLEVELAND any OF the votes by which
his extraordinary victory was achieved,

by this %utterance? II 80, why did he

AGAINST A -FOUR HEADED C0MMIs-
SION.
Strong Protest By Seth Low.

To the Hon. Hamilton Fish. Chairman Of the
Committee on cities.
My Dear Mr.. Fish: As the question Of re.
organizing the Police Department Of New York
Is under discussion. l venture TO express the
hope that the outcome OF II all will be n Police
Department presided over by one Police Com
missioner, and in addition o non partisan
Board OF Elections. This is not an untried
system. and II has the great advantage OF re.
lieving the Police Department Of the only duty
which connects It directly with the political
activities OF the people. As human nature In
constituted. to lodge large control OF the cleo
ton machinery with the police is not so much
to take the election machinery out OF politics
rs 1t is to take the Police Department in. For
this reason. II for no other. q Board OF Elcc-
tons charged with that specific duty, and so
constituted rs to represent fairly the political
divisions Of the electorate, Is a better arrange.
ment than to dcvolvc upon the Police Depart
ment q duty 30 foreign to its natural sphere.
On the other hand, the proper duties Of the
Police Department can be better performed by
one mai than by a commission. Until 1t be-
comes wise TO place an army under the charge
OF foul generals, II cannot DO wise 10 place a
Police Department under the control of four
men. There Is, in the first place, . great loss
OF responsibility as towards the community;
and in the second place there Is great UNI
evenness and inconsistency in administration
The founder OF this Republic committed all
the great administrative Offices Of the General
Government TO q single head. Our cities do
not show their wisdom in departing from this
practice. They rather illustrate their lack OF
wisdom. which Il the more evident from the
