Capt. :. \. Ashe, Editor News

Dear Sir:-ln your issue Of the
llth, instant there Was an editorial
comment upon IA paragraph, written
by me, 10 the. Wilmington Messcn-
ger, aud trust YOU will DO me the
justice to grant reply to the editor
ial.
,lou say that you "do not propose TO
discuss at this time what the Dem
ocratlc party has done, il is because
1t would bc unfair TO the party Ia
be judged 10y what has been done
SO far" You can not deny that the
Democratic party has been IN power
thirteen months, aud If 1t Was the
real party of reform some remedial
legislation would have been enacted
before this long lapse Of time.
OF cou ST. you ''do not propose 10
discuss" with me what the party
has done, for everybody knows that
its policy has been Of the do-nothlng
character, aud you can not defend
It's non-action and faithlessuess To
it's pledges
There are sins Of omission Just lis
Sll'Npun as AhtNN vi N'lliilllHNibi, dliu
it is now very patent that the Dem
ocratlc party won ITS great victory
III 1892 Oh false prctcnses.
1t stands, however, indicted now
before the bar Of public opinion, and
is on trial for its Ifc.
The Democratic party has had IA
grand opportunity 10 pcrpetuate its
lease Of power by restoring prosper
ity to the country, by bctterlng con
dItlons so that the idle and unem-
ployed might secure work and liv-
ing compensation for their cforts.
Now, Capt. Ashe, in view of the
fact that the Messenger unJustly nc
Cuses me of desiring Office, as "A rca-
son for my leaving the Democratic
party, | will make this proposition
to you aud the Messenger: If the
party gives relief to the distressed
and suffering millions in tins coun-
try, If 1t res ores prosperity and hap
plness by the enactment of just
laws, if 1t measures up TO its posi-
bllIties, then will return to the
fold, and direct my efforts toward
Cne advancement Of the party.
On the contrary, if 1t fails TO do
these things will you and the Mes
senger join the Peoples party aud
advocate its claims,
This is fair proposition.
Your party is now like Il ship at sea
without compass or rudder, and we
may properly inquire, Where are

SENSATIONAL SUIT OVER A
NEWSPAPER.

MEMHHIs, Jan. 81 Litigation over
the Memphis Appeal O0LGnche took a
sensational turn yesterday. w. A
Collier, the President of the Company,
filed a bill in chancery in the United
States Court, attacking the assignment
as illegal and void, and charging A. D.
Gwynne, r. D. Morgan and W. J.
Chase, receivers, with conspiracy and
fraud. Mr. Collier charges that the men
who made the assignment were neither
stockholders nor directors of the
Appeal company, and that they have
no standing in court. The case went
over t Thursday, when argument will
be resumed. There are twenty lawyers
in the case representing the differ
ent factions and it will be a holly
contested battle. The report of the
receiver, submitted yesterday. showed
that the paper has lost $4,000 in the
past three months, The schedules

STOLE FROM THE TREASURY
VAULTS.
A Messenger Caught in the Act by a
Secret Service Officer.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. S1.-James
Anderson, of Indiana, eighteen years
old, a messenger in the T~Feasurerie
office of the Treasury Department, was
arrested this afternoon by Chief Clerk
McWllllams, of the Secret Service
division, tor stealing money from the
treasury silver vaults. Young Andere
son acknowledged his guilt. The
amount of money distracted by hlm
is stateC tobe 1874. The correct amount
will be a~scertalned to morrow by count
ing the silver in the box which was
opened.
Anderson was detailed sometime ago
to show visitors through what are
known as the silver vaults of the treas
ury. Within these vaults, under the
protection of an immense iron lattice
worked screen are stored hundreds OF
boxes containing silver. Within each
box are several bags containing silver
dollars, and each box is thoroughly
fastened. Anderson, who has ace IS
to the vaults in showing visitors
through, at some time managed,
through the iron lattice work, to re-
move a portion of the boxing and with
a knife cut open a bag containing silver.
at various times within the past three
or four days he has distracted silver
dollars.
The discovery was made late yester-
day afternoon. The Secret Serves
officers were placed on the trail, and
at 2 o'clock this afternoon Anderson
was caught in the act. He ID now in
the custody of the officers and will be
presented to the police court in the
morning.
Young Anderson was appointed mes
senger IN the treasury sometime ago
and last fail was appointed a caGtt
subject to examination to the W est
Point Military Academy from Indiana.
A portion of his examination he passed
last fall, ana was to day granted leave
of absence to complete his examination.
1t is understood that this leave Of alb
sence will be extended indefinitely, and
that if found guilty in the police court,
as there seems no doubt on his own
confession, will be dismiss(d from
the service of the United States.

RETURNED WHEN THE MONEY
WAS GONE.
Young Simpson Repented Soon After
Taking $1,000, but Went on a
Long Trip.

RAILWAY, N. J., Jan. 31.-George
Simpson, nineteen years old, formerly
messenger of the Union County Bank,
who fed with 81, 600 belonging TO the
bank five weeks ago, returned to DAY
at noon and went directly to the Office
of Chief of Police Crane. He was
given an immediate hearing, but re-
fused to see any of his relatives, who
were ready to provide the bond of
50 600 necessary for his release.
Justice Frazier urged the boy to see
his relatives, who stood ready to help
him, but he refused absolutely, and
two hours after he was taken to the
county jail On the charge OF embezzle-
ment.
Young Simpson told me that he fed
with the money upon the impulse Of
the moment, and had regretted the
theft before he reached New York, but
was afraid to return. He had but $50
of the 81, 600 left when he reached Rah-
way, and says he spent the remainder
principally for railroad fares and hotel
bills HIS tour extended across the
continent, and back to see the Corbett-
Mitchell tight. He says he determined
five days ago to r, turn, but when the
train reached Railway he became
frightened and rode on to PhiladelphIa.

matter, and says he knows nothing Of
