RICH MEN ARE WARNED
Vanderbilt Mansion and Chaun-
cey Depew's House Placarded.
THREAT WAS WRITTEN IN LATIN.

a Notice Urging "Brothers' to Follow
vaiiInnt's ExampIe-"This Il a Marked
Man." Read the Card-other Houses OF
Rich Persons Piacarded Also.
NEW YORK, Feb 9. 9.-Placards Of r. threat
ening character, but probably written by
some crank, were found posted on the
doors OF several rich New Yorkers, and the
police are now looking for the man who
did It.
Chauncey NJ. Depew's butler was the
first to discover the placard. IL was writ
ten in Latin, and a translation reads as
follows:
Brothers, remember the glorious exam
pie Of Valiant Death TO the rich mani
This is a marked man. Warn all
by the will Of the common people"
Nanderbnts Mansion Piaoarded.
While this was going on at Mr. Depew's
home similar trouble was in progress
around the corner in Fifth avenue Watch
man Ryan draws liberal salary in return
for his services at the Vanderbilt mansion.
This stately structure occupies the entire
block between Fifty-frst and Fifty-second
streets, and it is Ryan's duty TO keep both
eyes on all parts Of these extensive prem
lses between the hours Of O'Clock, night,
and o'clock, morning.
Ryan saw something white which stood
out of the brown stone Of the main fence
post against which he had been leaning.
He found there a neatly written placard
identical in all respects with the one plas-
tered upon the front Of Mr.. Depew's resi-
dence. It was placed with the greatest care
directly in the center of the post near its
cnp, from which rises the massive metal
lamp nj the Fifty-second street corner.
Glued tight to the stone without a wrin.
kle the mysterious missiye showed that
no hurried hands had placed it in position.
Ryan had passed the night never more
than 40 yards from the spot and saw moth
ing to excite his trained suspicion. No
time was lost in obliterating the warming,
but the work was clumsily done, and "a
good part of the placard is still visible.
1t was said that the residences of Messrs.
John ID. Rockefeller, II. NJ. Flagler and G
p. Huntington were also decorated with
these warnings

TIE management Of the Warren Ath.
letic Club has put forth the explana-
tion that the financial depression
Of the club is due b the 81. 600
uncollected dues. The $1,000 uncol
lected dues is in itself an evidence Of in
competency. But If the club had been
properly conducted, those dues would
have not accumulated; they would have
heen cheerfully paid. The subscribers 70
the club were the most respectable men
IN the city. That is the reason why they
are unwilling to support the organization
which soon obtained an unsavory
reputation It is to no purpose that a
defense is attempted after the collapse
No explanations or apologies are in order
now The club should have been under
such competent management that ex-
planations and apologies would have no
place In its history. It has not been 81
oordncted and there's the end Of II. The

The memorial Of the National Wool

Senate yesterday, after giving statistics
Of the magnitude Of the sheep raising in
duatry, with its invested capital Of
$500 600 600, lays down number Of
propositions, the substance Of which Is
that free wool will destroy the wool in

WE reprint. from the Dover Index, q
series Of pertinent questions to that pro
tective tsrh crank, the Dover Sentinel,
which are universally applicable. The
Dover Sentlners vagaries Of protective
tariff prosperity are not more nonsenslcal
than those Of the ordinary protective
tariff advocate, so that the questions to
it may spply with equal force to any man
who advocates the benefits Of the pro
tectlve taria as a bounty to the few to
promote the prosperity OF the many
from whom many times that bounty Is

THE indignation manifested by the
minority in Congress because the majority
endorses the policy of the administration
has descended TO puerile cries Of
cuckoo" This style Of argument, for
it has actually become an argument
with the minority, Is doubtless exasper-
ating but it is not disastrous. In fact,
it inspires contempt for the man who
employees Il. and actually assists
the majority in presenting a
solid front against the attacks
on the policy Of the administration
Another phase Of the cry. however is
that the Republicans have been reduced
70 that pulpy state where they are un.
able 20 make logical or sensible argu-
ment; they are compelled to admit that
they are unable to argue the questions
on their merits; they degrade their
speeches and demeaR themselves by re
sorting to species Of Billingsgate vul
garity.

THE recent and rapid alterations be.
tween the partlsans Of "Boss" Platt and
BOSS" Hill, as exhibited In the ridicu-
lous transactions Of the New York As
sembly, are humorously kaleidoscope,
but withal humiliating. One who Is
disposed TO look upon politics with the
amiable forbearanoe CT a philosopher
may keep an even temper. but other men
are disgusted and disappointed. The
doings Of that body Of so called legisla-
tors are liable to tempt even a calm
observer of current events to declare
that popular government Is a failure
IL does seem as II popular government is
a failure, too, even to most sanguine
and earnest advocates Of a republican
form Of government, If one follows the
course Of this legislative body closely
Bat that conclusion is not correct. We
are thoroughly convinced that this is
more a seeming than a real calamity
IL is a blessing In disguise for the lndig
nation against the actions Of that body Is
arousing the people TO the necessity of
smashing both maohines-that Of Hin
aud OF platt--in order TO elect honest
and intelligent men 90 tho Legislature.

IT seem8 that the Louisiana Lottery
has become securely established In
Florida The removal Of the business
FROM New Orleans TO Spanish Honduras
was only blind Il was used TO diver,
attention from the effort TO establish
foothold for operations in Florida
Any lottery company organized in
Florida Is subject TO severe psnal
ties under an amended law lately
passed by the Legislature Of that
state. but this company being organized
outside the state, may run its lot
terry free from interference in the
state. This law was scarcely signed, BY
Governor Mitchell in May last before an
agent Of the lottery company had pur
chased land and erected suitable build
ings at Tampa The lottery is now full

Of interference except from the nationa

WITH the new administration a more
definite policy will be pursued in regard
to the Behring Sea fisheries. This country
has already decided to send strong
squadron to protect our seals and to pre-
serve the marine regulations governing
seal catching lately agreed upon. So
soon as the Charleston and the Detroit
can be dispensed with in Brazilian
waters, they will be sent to the
Behring Sea for service there. The
other vessels Of the squadron will be the
Yorktown, the Bennington, the Mo
hican, the Alert aud the Ranger with
three revenue cutters. This will make
the largest feet ever sent 20 enforce the
rules and prevent stealing in the Behrlng
Sea- This doubtless indicates that the
government means TO enforce the rules
rigldly, and in order to do that sends an
ample force.

mitted to probate yesterday. Mr. Childs
bequeathed his entire estate TO Mrs

states, "having full confidence that she,

wives. It Is rare, indeed, that any

COLLECTOR TOWNSEND Is not better
interpreter Of the law than Secretary
Cerlisle be is not a bigger man" Mr..
Carliale's practical Interpretation Of the
law is that Deputy Collector Finn shall
be removed. Now the object Of the col
iector is two.fold He wishes TO gain
notorety for himself and martyrdom for
Saint Finn. Saint Finn wishes TO run
for sheriff. He would look more beautiful
and run swifter under the crown Of
martyrdom than with his own simple
head. Collector Townsend wishes to
equip him with the crown
The bond that John f. CAL
lahan has offered Is superior
to that which the collector, himself,
gives. As a deputy. Callahan by ex-
perience, education and natural ability Is
superior IN qualifications to Finn.
Finn gives no bond at all. Hence the
objections the collector urges for parting
with Finn are untenable or insincere.
Those which he withholds are real,
namely; thei martyrdom scheme
aud the determination to make
Finn do political work for the
Republican party. But it is probable
that the buncombe letter which COL
lector Townsend says he wrote TO his
superior ofiloer did not reach Secretary
Carlisle. II It did, IL should serve as a
reason for dismlssing both Townsend
and Finn.
