WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Aug. .. ;9h.

FROM our heRular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3, '95.
The American who can hear the
treasury officials talk about the
gold reserve without experiencing
a sense OF humiliation has a queer
make up. These officials never re-
fer to the secretary Of the treasury
nor the administration, as having
the power to keep the gold reserve
intact, but always to their reliance
upon the power Of the foreign bond
syndicate to protect the gold re-
serve.
When asked about last weeks
heavy withdrawal of gold from the
treasury these officials say "oh,
that's Of no Importance" They
then proceed to inform you that
the foreign bond syndicate would
have prevented the withdrawal Of
that gold had 1t deemed 1t neces-
sary to do 80, and have the gall to
add that the foreign bond syndi-
cate has since last February lived
up to it's contract and protected
the gold reserve. Do you under.
stand what that statement means?
Humiliating as it is, it means that
the Democratic administration,
convinced of its own lack of finan-
cial ability, paid the foreign bonk
syndicate $l0,000,000-the profit on
the bonds sold to the syndicate-to
guarantee the protection Of the re-
serve in the United States
Treasury from February to Oc-
tober, and, instead OF being
heartily ashamed of the disgrace
full deal, Democratic officials actu-
ally gloat over it and co instantly
express their satisfaction over the
bought protection they are enjoy
ing. Secretary Carlisle felt so Sc.
cure that he has with his own and
one Of his sons family gone on a
junket through the Great Lakes
on government light house
tender. 1t is fortunate for the
country that only two months will
elapse from the expiration of this
dearly bought and disgraceful pro
lection OF the United States trea
sury and the meeting of the Re
publican Congress. Republicans
have never found it necessary Il
pay foreigners to maintain the
credit OF the United States anC
never will.
The Allison boom was brought tt
Washington a day or two ago by
Hon. j. n. Baldwin, of Council
Bluffs, Iowa, who is a good talker
and who has it all fixed, in hi
own mind. He said: 81 expect Il

had the power at the polls and We're
courted, petted and iiattered for their
political influence and for no other rea-
son. How were they to make restitu-
ton? Let them tell him the wrong
that had been done to members of that
church and of other churches in the
city. Perhaps they were in the saloons
that moment. God pity them. "Oh,
where is my wandering boy tonight" !"
He was in the saloon.
The argument might be turned on
him that if he was opposing in portion
he was opposing the granting of all
licenses, but for one who was patriotic,
a Christian and pastor of that church,
he was confident in what he had said.
The question then was, What restitu-
ton can the license holders give?" If
disposed to give any, he would say.
Get out of the business and not ask Il
cent from them. Let them live so as to
undo the evil they had done" The
value of restitution was greatly en-
HANGED by promptness Zaccheus spoke
in the present tense and said, Behold,
Lord, the half of my goods | give to
the poor"
The reverend gentleman in his pero-
ration impressed his congregation that
restitution to the wronged ones was
the duty of all, without exception, as
they were all guilty of wrong doing.
To attempt to make restitution to Al
mighty God was utterly futile. for the
Son of Man had made restitution
which was full complete and entire.

Mr.. Farrell Is u good singer and fairly

E. ii. JORDAN'S BARN.
1t Has Given Rise to an Interesting Law
Snit

Suit.
Undertaken Il. II. Jordan, of the
South Side, who purchased recently
two lots of ground ON Prospect avenue
and the corner of Cherry street, was
restrained by a permanent injunction
on Saturday in court from proceeding
any further with the building of barn
ON the property, for the reason, as
alleged, that he made use of the 10-foot
privilege.
Mr.. Jordan bought the lots from Pat
rick Harmon, who purchased them from
the Fisher estate in the plot known as
the Cottage City tract. In the deed OF
every ilot of ground sold is specified
that ''no building shall be erected on
said lot within 10 feet of the street"
Mr.. Jordan's barn was being built on
the rear of the lots and on the 1O-foot
privilege on Cherry street. The lot ad-
joining on the upper side is owned by
John O'Donnell. The barn was almost
completed when O'Donnell began pro.
ceedines to stop Jordan going any fur.
ther with the work of construction
City Solicitor Torrey took the case in
hand and filed an equity suit. Judge
'unster handed down preliminary in
Junction, and the hearing to strike off
the rule came up Saturday before Judge
Archibald.
Attorney l. II. Burns and NJ. j. Dono-
hae represented Jordan and City Solici-
tor Torrey argues the plaintiffs side of
the case. Testimony was offered Sat
urday to prove that the deeds of the
lots Jordan owns specify that the 10
foot privilege must be reserved. The
case was argued by both sides and
Judge Archibald in an opinion deliv-
cred verbally handed down an order
making the preliminary injunction per-
manent.
The defendants maintained that pro-
ceedings in ejectment should be begun
instead of injunction steps taken. Court
held that the plaintiffs were acting in
accord with the right of law and de-
cided in their favor. The case will
later come up for final hearing.

BROKE A sure THING CAME
Police Raid a Novel Dice Joint on
Franklin Avenue.
GAMBLERS USED ELECTRICITY
They Made the Littl<Dics Fleece the Tn.
wary-Two Houses of bad Rcputc
Raided and Eight Inmates and
Five Men Caught.

One of the newest and most novel of
sure thing gambling apparatus was
brought to light Saturday night in a
raid made by the police on two houses
of i'll fame and a dice throwing estab-
lishment which has been operated os-
tensibly as cigar stand on Franklin
avenue. The places raided were those
of Nellie Bly," in Raymond court;
Jack" Jones and Emma Brown, 35la
Lackawanna avenue, and Riley Ed
wards, 116 Franklin avenue.
The raid on Edwards place was made
upon a warrant issued by Alderman
Fuller on complaint of Frank Cobb,
the horseman, who claimed to have lost
$47 at dice. Chief Simpson and County
Detective Leyshon visited the place
during the evening and arrested Riley
Edwards, the proprietor, and B. f..
Wakeman and Mike Duffy, whose
duty it was to seek out lambs and
bring them in to be flecced. Duffy is
a brother of the notorious Paddy"
whose resort is opposite the old Della
ware and Hudson station, on Bridge
street.
A lot of wire, electric batteries and
hidden levers were found in the cellar
of the Franklin avenue cigar store, or
attached to the table above where the
dice were thrown. by turning on the
current, the dice, which were magnet
ized, could be made to flop "siXes' or
aces" or come to standstill with
some of the lower numbers uppermost
The result is obvious. Each of the
men waived Il hearing before Alderman
Fuller in police court yesterday morn
ing and was held in $500 bail for the
June sessions of court.
The Women Arrested.
Five young women and four men
were corralled in Nellie Bly's" Ray
mond court house by Captain Edwards
and squad. 1t is II coincidence that in
this case the warrant was issued for
Riley Edwards as the proprietor, the
same who conducted the dice throwing
game. 1t developed after the hearing
in police court that Edwards had re-

beside the proprietress, Emma Brown,

They gave their names as NJ. Hudson,

taken to the station house and their
cases were continued.

The DcmOcracy's Proper Size.

From the Philadelphla inquirer.
An English mathematician has calcu-
lated that the whole population of the
world could be packed in a box lilo yards
deep, LILO yards wide and LILO yards high,
and that each person could be allowed
twenty-seven cubic feet of room In such
n box. If this estimate is correct then
the whole Democratic party could be
slowed away in n pill box, leaving space
enough for each member to prance around
and claim majorites before election.
