CheaD Gloves.

Cheap kid gloves are seldom any good
Kid is as staple as wool; cheap wool,
as every Judge knows. is never all
wool. and seldom Of good dye. and the
same is true Of kid gloves. Only de-
fective skins are put In the common
stock; II they chance to be perfect
the dye is not fast. In Paris, the great
glove market of the world, q fine
article cannot be bought at retail under
81, that is for the two or three button
length; the same glove in America sells
at $50. There are serviceable goods
for much less money, but they are not
made of fine kid-prevaricators to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The cheap
est glove in New York now Is the 80
cent or Scent goat, mousquetaire,
known as the shopping glove. 1t is not
kid. however, begging the saleswoman's

SUNDAY LAW FOR THE ARMY
Likely to He Tested by Major
WOrth's Trial.
tBy Associated Press)

OMAHA, Neb., Aug 1.-THE court
martial of Major William Worth, of the
Department of the Platte, began at Fort
Omaha yesterday. He was accused of
ordering Private Cedarquist to rife prac-
tice on Sunday. Major Worth pleaded
not guilty, but admitted that men had
been ordered to target practice. lie
explained, however. that he thought ii
state OF war existed as troops were
expecting to be called to Chicago daily.
AS Lincoln's order against Sunday work
applied to times OF peace. 1t was sus-
pended. the defense argued, at this
period.
The prosecution argued that the rule
was not suspended, as war did not exist.
and that Lincoln's orders were not in
force. Laws of the Army, published by
Secretary OF War Endicott. in 1899
which are prefaced by the statement
that these are al laws of the Army,
were introduced. These rules do not
mention President Lincolns orders OF
1862 regarding work and military practice
on Sunday. Ii was further held that the
order of President Harrison abolish!nG
Sunday inspection abrogated and rem
der.a null President LinColn's order.
Judgv advocate Baird completed the
argument.

Nick Odemus to b. Balsam.

To the Editor:
Nick Odemus will not adopt the suggestion Of
B. Balsam and say he thinks or he sup
poses" that matter and energy have always
existed. More than I say the same thing. and
II we be dogmatical without giving reasons. we
only followed a much venerated exempisr-the
writer of Genesis.
D. Balsam charges me with saying. in sub
stance: ~ am the dictator. and who dares to
dispute me?' This is not the substance OF any
thing I wrote. He misrepresents me by writ
ing: HE goes to say that the world was
made" &C.. and with great ingenuity tells me
l afterwards dare to say 1t was not created :"
Now. did not say the world was made. -
My words were: This is the creation the ac-
ton Of energy on matter) by which all planets and
stars have been evolved from other forms Of
moving matter"
He tays: Il should learn that every man has
a right to his own opinion" This IL precisely
what I and all other secularists advocate. You
see Balsam. l will not say: TT 10 my belief
opinion. idea or anything Of that sort. but ex-
Gcty what I have already said" And to all
reasonable people who not certain about the
matter, ! think this dictum will appear more
rational than that Of Genesis.
You can hold what views you plesss on the
subject, hut you cannot convert my certain
knowledge into . mere opinion.

BANKER COMMITS SUICIDE
He and His Son Were Liable to
Criminal Prosecution.

Ell RENO. l. T., Aug. 4.-J. N. Bea-
com. President of the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Bank of Watonga, on Saturday
night committed suicide by shooting.
His son, C. w. Beacon, is missing, and
1t Is said has fled the country. Six weeks
ago the bank was organized by father
and son, soon after which the former
left the son in charge and went home to
Smith Centre, Kan, where he held a re-
sponsible position.
Rumors of insolvency reached the
father and he went to Watonga. After
weeks endeavor to fix matters up,
and when he had learned both he and
his son were criminally liable. the father
shot himself. dying at midnight. Young
Beacon recently invested $4,000 in Blair
County scrip, and being unable to dis
pose of 1t, the bank was placed in an
embarrassing position.
A large amount of the banks drafts
are said to have been protested in var
ious parts of the country. The suicide
was clerk of Smith County. Kan, for
six years and postmaster for four years
under Harrison.

A SURRENDER AND A VICTORY.

A Tariff bill has been passed. 1t Is not
a real Tariff-Reform bill, though 1t VIII
do away with some of the conspicuous
evils of McKinleyism. 1t Is not the bill
called for by the Democratic National
platform of 1892. 1t is not the bill which
the people expected when they cast
their votes on the strength of the prom
ises contained in that platform. But at
least, a long and trying period of sus-
pense has been ended, and an unnatural
cause of business depression has been
removed. 1t may be confidently OK
pected that an immediate revival of the
country's commercial and industrial in
terests will follow.
The final passing OF the bill was both
a surrender and a victory. The House
OF Representatives receded from a posi-
ton in which It had the support of the
people and the Administration. 1t
yielded to a force which was distinctly
arrayed against popular interests and
Democratic principles. But, in yield
ing. the House undoubtedly spoiled a
conspiracy existing in the Senate,
through Vaccinations OF the Trusts. to
prevent any tariff legislation whatever
1t was calculated that the bill had
been made so Objectionable that the
House would not accept 1t. Then all the
Senate had to do was to remain obdu-
rate In conference until all attempts at
legislation should be abandoned. and
McKinleyism be left SIN triumphant.
This pretty scheme has been thwarted,
and In that fact and with what bene-
Ats the new measure will undoubtedly
bring to the nations traders and work
ers. the people must for the time being
content themselves.

action of Congress on the tariff started
active operations in taking whiskey out
of bond here last night The receipts in
this city average $4,000 per day at the

exceeded $4,000. In Covington. KY, the
increase was very large. At Owensboro,

regauged Immediately to take advan-
tage of the 20 per cent. tax before the
new Tariff bill takes effect.
Two dozen extra gaugers have been
engaged to regauge bonded whskey In

THE POLICE MACHINE.

Nothing more remarkable or interest
ing has followed the hunting down OF
police corruption In New York City than
the revelation of how thoroughly the
force is permeated with the principles
Of bossism and boss machnation. No
political leader of a district Is better
provided with "heelers' and watchers
than is the police pantata with per
sonal representatives" collectors" or
whatever they may be called publicly
or privately. The system of agencies
and sub-agencies is seemingly perfect
The police machine is constructed to
work without the slipping OF a cog as
long as II is left to the undisturbed
care of the original machinists.
A premonitory shaking up has been
administered to the system OF wheels
within wheels by the Lexow Committee
and Its counsel. But the machine Is
not broken yet, the blows have not yet
fallen where they will do the most good

The blows struck this Fail must be
such as to bring final results. They
