GETTING "NEN NINE OF IDEAS" !"
Call to q Mass Convention Issued to all
Voters Who Are Dissatisfied with the
1C.axr;.~v por;cv ~ couorce,

Call to q Mass Convention Issued to all
Voters Who Are Dissatisfied with the
''FiddIing" Policy Of Congress.
large committee Of prominent citizens Of
the Fiifh Congressional district OF Maryland
has issued call for an independent political
convention. which will be held in this city at
noon on July % "wednesday next, at No.
450 Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
This will be a mass convention, to which
are invited delegates from organizations Of
every form who favor an independent move
nent. and all individual voters of the District
will be cordially welcomed.
The occasion for this call lies in the fact
that legislation In the interest OF the class
that does not labor has, in O time OF pro-
found peace and universal plenty, reduced
the nation to condition bordering on an
archy. IN which millions OF honest men are
deprived OF all opportunity to produce by
their labor the necessaries OF life for the sup
port OF themselves and family: and the fur
ther TACT that the representatives OF the peo-
pie in Congress assembled exhibit indifIer-
ence to the condition and importance as
regards any remedy for II. They fiddle over
the tariff Just as II Rome was nor burning.
The business Of politics is the business OF
every voter. 1t Is a business which goes on
whether man neglects 1t or not; and il not
faithfully done by the competent, it is bound
to be wretchedly done by the incompetent
and the corrupt.
The man who keeps out Of politics assumes
the position Of slave in order to escape the
obligations which are imposed upon every
free man by the nature Of our institutions.
This call is addressed solely to those who
are dissatisfied with the present conduct OF
affairs. and the present condition Of the peo-
pie, who realize that. as American citizens,
they are not getting what is their due, and
who do not propose to incorporate in their
political creed a cowardly submission to in
justice.
The demand for new party lies in the fact
that the people are fast getting new wine of
of ideas; to put this new vintage into the old
party skins will inevitably burst the reeepta-
cles and waste the goods For twenty-five
years the people have trusted their party
leaders: it is time that they undertook for
themselves.
This convention is not called in the interest
OF any clique or party. and its action will be
determined wholly by those who choose to at
tend.

Europe. A cablegfam from Commander

France, announces several cases there.
Consul Robertson, of Hamberg. reports to
Superintendent Stump, Of the immigration
bureau, that the North German Lloyd and
Hamburg American Steamship Companies
have begun. the erection of five control sta

the Wilson bill and declare It an imperfest
nseasurs. but. their reyilings ara direeted at
the Democratic party, and with almost unani-
nous voice that party demands Democratic
tariff bill. Which is the greater, the party or
the Senate?
Tho time to yield is now. It would be no
surrender of senatorial honor. nprwould any
Senator lose prestige with his party or the
public. The people expect Democratic
measure; the party. President, and House OF
Congress demand it, and If there is responsi-
bility attached it is the party and not the
Senate who will answer. The publication Of
the Presidents letter may have been indis-
Greet and an infringement upon congress
sional perogative, but he voiced the senti-
ment OF his party, and that sentiment should
lie respected by Democratic Senators.
One cause of unrest among the masses is
lack of confidence in public servants. At the
hustings and in the public press they pledge
themselves to work of reform, and whom the
time Of trial comes some of them prove
public officers are public servants it is their
duty to obey and not 10 dictate to their
master-the people. They are elected to per-
form certain duties and not to assume func-
tions neither authorized nor desired.
At the last election the Democratic party
instructed Congress to reform the tariff and
stop the growth of corporate power. Tho
House performs its duty as well as possible,
and it remains for the Senate to complete
the task. II is ridiculous to fall back on
senatorial dignity and assume to be offended
by the Presidents letter. The President voices
the will Of his party and that alone should
suffice with every Democratic Senator.

Stewart F. Shepherds Grief Changed BY
Magic Into Hilarious JOY.
Stewart Z. Shepherd, who was arrested on
Wednesday night for forging Edward z.
Myers name to check and was sfterward
released on bond to await the action OF the
grand jury, started out yesterday to drown
his sorrow, but, like those Of Francis Wilson,
the sorrows swan like ducks, and tho more
Stewart would drink the better would they
swim.
Finally, however. by some magic process
his grief was turned to joy, and the Young
man became hilarious. So much SO in fact
that Policeman Williams, who was standing
on the corner of Thirteenth street and Ohio
avenue, thought it necessary to subdue Stew
arts exuberant hilarity somewhat by putting
MIN solitary and alone into prison cell

The new committee elected consists ofJustin

Statement by the Governor ConcerninG Mr..
Mays Irreguiarit es.
LONDON March 15.-At the meeting OF the
directors OF tho Bank OF England to-day q
statement was submitted by Mr.. David Powell.
the Governor OF tho bank. in which he eX-
pressed regret at the necessity for the re-
moval. OF Mr.. Frank May. the chief cashier.
Mr.. May. ho said was removed. though al
lowed to resign. for exceeding his authority
and committing great irregularities in regard
to making advances to certain customers In
one case he had made n considerable over
draft without the authority or even tho knowl-
edge OF the Governor and, contrary To- the
rules Of the hank, he had INDUCED in transac-
lions on the stock Exchange. which had re-
suited in grave recnniary difficulty.
Mr. Powell said that the system OF advance
hitherto pursued had been thoroughly
changed. 1t was impossible to estimate the
full amount Of the banks losses from Mr..
Mays transactions. but the sum OF f2o0.OUO
had been set aside to meet them.
Since August, 1899. the liabilities to the bank
OF the firm OF Barring Brothers X Co. had been
reduced BY f,ij5.OU,. The progress in rc-
ducing the Barings's indebtedness to the hank
had not been equal to expectations. but the
reduction had been steady. and the present
general position OF the bank In no less antis-
factory than IL was six months ago: All OF the
securities which the hank now holds are gilt
edged. IL does not hold and has not held any
