LITERARY NOTES.

Dr.. Parkhurst has entered into con-
tract with The Ladies' Home Journal by
which he will practically become
regular editorial contributor to that
magazine for some time. Tho great
New York preacher says that he has
for q long time past been DESTROYS OF
saying some very necessary things 10
women, and he now announces that he
will say them through these articles.
He win take up all the social, moral
and equality questions which are so
uppermost in the minds Of women to-
day. DR.. Parkhurst will begin this
work at once, his first article appearing
in the next issue Of the Journal.
The bound volumes OF The Century
and st. Nicholas, both published by
The Century company, New York. have
made their appearance aud are fully up
to their usual standard. The Century
volume contains the numbers OF the
magazine for the past six months, and
embraces enough literary matter to fill
dozen volumes OF fiction, travel and
adventure, personal Renaissance, art es-
says and poetry. 10 name all the at
tractive features in detail would require
columns OF space. Your library is not
complete without it. Price So. Two
volumes OF st. Nicholas, bound in red
and gilt cloth form splendid store

ature for the young. Besides being APP
propriate holiday gift books, they are
valuable additions to the family perma-
nent library. They contain hundreds
OF pages OF good things and the price OF
the two volumes, containing twelve
numbers for tho past year. is only 81.

Gold Vanishing Again.

Notwithstanding tho two S50,OO0,OOO
loans the gold reserve OF the treasury is
again below the SlOOOOO,OOO point with
signs of going lower. Persons who put
in the gold to get the bonds are coming
forward with tho governments notes to
get back the gold. So it goes and will
go as long as the present system con-
tinues. The administration does not
attempt to deal with this situation, but
excrts it's influence to drive through n
measure with state.bank.issue attach.
ment. OF course it will be necessary to
sell moro bonds to stifien up the gold
reserve. How often this process will
have to be repeated is an interesting
question.

Forward, Republicans .ot Wheeling

Forward, Republicans t wheeling
Two years ago the Republicans OF
Wheeling polled 1892 votes at the city
primaries. This year they poll 1857.
The comparison shows the very large
increase Of I, 535 votes, gain OF &c per
cent. The vote polled on Saturday was
little short OF the total vote cast for the
head Of the Republican ticket in the
city election two years ago. 1t is only
1858 less than the Republican vote oil
Ohio county in the presidential election
of 1892. 1t is but55S votes less than the
Democrats polled for Congress in this
county at the recent election.
The gain does not come from in
creased population, for there has been
no increase OF population. There has
been an increase OF Republicans, and
mauy of them who have lately joined
the party were out on Saturday, as they
should have been, to have their say in
the nominations.
In view OF the interest displayed in
every ward in tho city and the good re-
suits achieved, the Republicans oil
, Wheeling go forward to victory. Un.
less they take it for granted that they
can carry the city without half-trying,
they will sweep everything before
them.
Ii they look we'll to their organiza-
ton thew will elect everybody on tho
cIty ticket and make sure Of the. council
by majority enough to suit the most
exactiug. The Democrats cannot nom
mate a better ticket and they cannot
win against u solid body OF Repuhli-
cans determined to carry the city by a
decisive majority.
West Virginia and Ohio county are
Republican, and Wheeling is going to
Join them with q hurrah. The hand
writing is on the wall in lurid letters.
The Democrats will have to make way
for the triumphant Republican pro.
cession.

4 Jobbing Gamg.

Captain Crecden swoars that he paid
$4,000 for his position on the Now
York police force, and that the money
went to Police Commissioner Voorhis.
This 10 not a revelation. 1t is confrma-
ton OF common understanding. A
patrolman had to pay $500 to got on the
force. A sergeant had to pay 5000 for
his job. Tho price OF II captaincy was
just what Creoden says he paid.
OF course tho commissioners know
that when man paid to DO put on tho
forco or to DO promoted hc did it with
the expectation Of being paid back in
so'no way. The Lexow investigation
has shown that the ways wero many.

An Absurd scheme of Robbery.

An Absurd Scheme of Robbery.
The blind pool which Pittsburgh is
trying to investigate by criminal pro-
ceedure sought its victims among the
blind fools. The concern promised
dividends ranging from 10 per cent to
% per cent month.
The so.called investor did not know
what his money was TO be invested in.
He was caught by the promise Of enor-
nous returns, by which at the least he
was to get his whole capital back IN ten
months. ali after that being clear profit.
He knew nothing OF the character OF the
person or persons conducting the con-
cern, nothing Of the character OF the
business to be carried on. With no
reason to have faith in the representa-
tions they captivated him by being i'm
possible.
1t is possible by lucky speculation to
make 10 per cent, % per cent or still
larger percentage OF profit month, but
this is done in ventures 80 essentially
speculative and uncertain that no BUSH
ness engagements are to be based on
them. From the Developments in the
Pittsburgh case it does not appear that
any investments were made by the pool
management.
Some dividends were declared out of
the payments Of dupes to bring on
more dupes, aud the rest was pocketed.
No trace can be found OF any business
transaction with the money that went
into the pool. III is strange that people
eau be duped thus to the extent OF ST.
100000, but this is what happened.
OF course another thing Of the same
sort could not be worked in Pittsburgh
very soon. but some other plausible
thing can be. The way to do it is to
offer some absurdIy impossible thing in
attractive form. There is always fresh
run OF gudgeons to take the bait.

roundly, the more infamous the nature
Of the business the higher the price Of
police protection. Many persons en-.
gagged in lawful business had TO pay TO
prevent police imposition. The income
from all sources was large and paid
handsomely on the investment.
The next move should De to fasten on
voorhis the crime OF bribe-taking and
put him in the penitentiary. This
would also serve to relieve him of the
onerous duties OF police justice. OF
course voorhis was not not the only
police commissioner who got money
for appointments; which cuts out some
more fine work for the committee and
for the prosecuting attorney.

rne Adminis,rn,lon,s l;ush.

The Democrats OF the house COM
mittee on banking and currency will
report to-day the administrators bank
ing scheme, and the committee on rules
will allow four days for debate, begin
ming tomorrow and coming to vote on
Friday.
This is an amazing proposition-to
put through under the spur measure
OF this supreme importance upon which
the country is by no means agreed. For
a week the committee on banking and
currency has made some show OF listen
Ing to views concerning the bill and
the general proposition involved in it.
Tho committee could have heard
MANY more persons and could have
given some time to considering the
measure, without any waste OF precious
moments. The committee is not all
knowing with regard to this subject,
and it might have learned something
il it had tried. Neither is the house
thoroughly informed on the bill and its
probable workings.
Yet the strength of political major
ity is to be brought to bear to drive
through measure that will revolution
ize the banking system OF generation.
After the revolution, what? This the
committee does not know, and the
house does not know. They know it is
an administration scheme to do some
thing and they seem disposed to rush it
through.
The matter is likely to receive more
deliberate consideration in the senate,
where it cannot be driven through in
the remarkably short time OF four days.
