THE AL MIGHTY DOLLAR.
HOW MURDER sPRANG FROM THE
"ROOT OF ALL EVIL"
From the Gainesville Eagle.

From the Gainesville Eagle.
An old man with bowed and shrunken
form, crooked limbs, and trembling gait;
with withered, wrnkled skin, c94orless
cheeks, compressed lips, and piercing
eve; with thin and unkempt yellow locks
and sharp, hard features distorted al
m st beyond human resemblance; with
an eager, grasping expression which ex-
cluded all that is noble and generous
and good.
A miser-heartless and soulless-
knowing no God but the god of man.
mon, aud serving no devil but the demon
of avarice. He sees no beauty save the
glitter of his gems; he is charmed by no
music but the ring of his gold He de-
sires no heaven but "more," and fears
no hell but s'want" His heart is alike
impervious to the fire of revenge or the
sunshine and showers of love and SYM
patty. All human aspirations and pas
sions are lost in the one mighty desire
to get and keep. Like consuming fire
this craving burns out his vitals. He
will suck his own blood, starve the child
of his own bosom, even barter eternity
itself for few grains of gold.
Some years ago there lived such
cresture in a miserable shanty among
the mountains of our own state.
A wido we'd daughter and her only son,
lad of ten years of age, shared his
wretched home.
So completely was this old man under
the domination of the devil that ruled
him that for some slight offense he one
day inhumanly drove his grand child
from the shelter of his cabin
More than dozen years went silently
by. The old hut grew more delapidat-
ed, the mothers hair was frosted, and
the sordid, grasping expression settled
deeper over the miser's face,

One evening, as summer was melting
into the softness of autumn, young,
bearded, sunbumt, sturdy fellow halted
at the cabin door 1t was growing
dark: night was approaching and with it
a violent storm.
The dusty traveller noticed with anx-
ious scruntiny the banks of dark cloud
piling up in the west, the RAPID and bril-
liant play of the lightning, and the echo
inc rumbIing of the far away thunder.
He raped at the door, and the old
man answered the summons.

He fancied that the little window al

A MEETING FOR BLOODsUCKERs.
A Democratic Organ Describes h
Saufh=Side Rxuum Meeting.

A Democratic Organ Describes the
Bynum Meeting.
The recent Bynum meeting on the South
Side was rather larger than all the other
Democratic meetings put together, which
does not, however, say much for the crowd,
but the reason is now explained by the
People, a weekly Democratic publication.
The current issue contains the following:
The leg-pullers n booze-fghters were
Democratic meeting. 1t is becoming a
burning shame the ends that some would-be
respectable gentlemen resort to In order to
get a drink, a dime or a quarter from a
candidate. The gang was organized In
squads of ten to fifteen, with captains and
lieutenants. Money spent on them is money
burnt up, as il were.
There is a great deal of internal opposi-
ton in the Democratic party TO the nom
inees, from Congress to constable. The
leaders nave found il impossible to head IL
off, and the party organs have taken to
vilification and reading out Of the party.
The People makes this reference to some
of the dissatisfied:
There is a couple of ex-oficeholders, one
physically unable to fill any position, while
the other is incapacitated mentally since
his let-down, making a noisy how about
beating a nominee on the Democratic tick
ct. The mistaken generosity OF the Demo-
tunity to injuriously pull the wires in the
past, but their counterfeit services have
been dispensed with. If they would utilize
the remnant of grey matter that has es-
capped the fool killer and could realize the
picturesque character they present, both
affords such people escape from public con-
tempt.

ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE
DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS ADVERTISE
ABANDONED JOINT DEBATES.
Their Committee Plays Double with
3PeopIe's- Reason for the Crowd.

The Democrats at nearly all points where
the joint debates were first set have en-
deavored to suppress the fact that they
were Cancelled. and ave been actively adj
vertising that Mr.. Owen would be present
This was probably done in the hope OF
getting a crowd, something the Democratic
orators are unable to do this year. At Vim
cennes, however, the result OF the trick
was somewhat disastrous to the Democrats.
They advertised with flaming posters all
over Knox county that the joint debate
would occur between Messrs. Owen and
Myers, In the courthouse at Vincennes, at
/ o'clock on Oct. 4. On the morning OF
that date they got out a fife and drum
and a transparency or banner announcing
the same falsehood. When the appointed
hour arrived about thirty or forty Demo-
Gratis turned UP at the courthouse, and
nobody else. Mr.. Myers himself was no
where to be found. After considerable tel
egraphing they succeeded in getting him
over to Vincennes on the evening train,
but the meeting had already fattened out,
and he talked to a slim audience.
Bartholomew county is now literally plas-
tered over with precisely the same kind of
| posters, announcing that Messrs. owen and
| Myers will engage in joint debate at Co
lun1DuS on the evening ol OCl- IL. LIE
State committee of the Democrats is fully
aware of this proceeding on the part of it's
| county committees, and rather encourages
Ii.
To cover up its attempt to play double
the Democratic State committee has sent
a letter to Chairman Gowdy, of the Repub-
lican State committee, suggesting that Mr..
owen take up the joint debates. although
Mr.. Taggart we'll knows that the state Of
Mr.. Owens health would not permit him
to carry out the original plan. Mr.. Gowdy
replied to Mr.. Taggart, recalling the fact
that the Republican was the
first to propose the series Of joint de-
! bates. and that Mr.. Taggart well knew
that Mr.. Owens i'll health made 1T neces-
| sary to abandon the plan. MI. Gowdy also
referred to the fact that the Democratic
committee had acted in a very unfair way,
to put it very mildly, in advertising the
Joint debates at Vincennes and Columbus
after the debates had been declared OFF.

REFUSE TO ACCEPT A PASTOR.
broadway Methodist Church Insists
on Having Rev. DIR. Van Anda.

The selection of a pastor for the Broad
way Methodist Church is still unsettled
and the congregation is opposing the choice
Of the conference, which recently met at
S~helbyville. Rev. A. n. Marlatt was as
signed to this charge, but the congrega-
tons choice was Rev. G. A. Van Anda,
formerly with Roberts Park Church, and a
popular minister here. The bishop was noti-
fed that the congregation desired that Dr..
Van Anda be transferred to this conference
and ministry, but the bishop discovered
that the conference ranks were full and
that no transfer could be made. He re-
fused. therefore. to make the transfer or
to change the action of the conference in
the appointment of Mr.. ,Mariatt.
The members Of the board of stewards
still insisted that they wanted DR.. Van
Anda and argued that, in the language of
the bishop himself, the field Of the church
on Broadway is one of the most promising
and important in the conference and needs
a man adapted to a city field.
When a meeting of the leading members
was held at the house of j. A. Sims, No.
bDl Bellefontaine street, with Mr.. Marlatt
ana Presiding Elder Dashiell present, the
that the congregation had settled upon an
other minister and would not contribute to
the support OF any other. Mr.. Marlatt then
returned TO his charge In Columbus and
refuses TO talk of the occurrence, except to
say that the whole matter is in the hands
OF the bishop.
1t was expected that DR.. Van Anda
would preach his first sermon to-day, but.
under the circumstances, this is not prob
able now. The Journal announced, a few
days ago. that DR.. Van Anda might re-
turn TO a congregation here. The Broadway
Church prospered greatly during the first
half CT the year under the ministry of Rev.
Mr.. Northcott,. who came to il with the
congregation of the Seventh-street Matho-
dist Church, which was consolidated with
the broadway congregation.
