A priao ic q ,,lo for

America is a vulgar place and unfit for
a gentleman to reside in. Cleveland,
Gresham and Carlisle are mere tools
in the hands of these gentlemen and
must do their bidding. They will re-
main in the saddle until March 4, 1897.
And If the Populist party should fail
of election in 1896 they will get right in
to the saddle again. No matter how
earnest the rank and file of the old
parties may be in the effort to obtain
honest government, the leaders are al
ways in the hands of the ultra Eu-

lean party is the Peoples party. Vote

ARMOURs CHARGE FRAUD.

Gates Paul Schulz,

Gates Paul Schulz.
Tacoma, Wash, June 6.-In attempt
1ngto foreclose the $1,35O, ,00O0 mortgage
against the Tacoma Railway and Motor
company, the New W ork Guaranty and
Indemnity company has encountered
the Armours of Chicago, who have set
out, according to the statement Of the
local stockholders, to either compel a
compromise or show up the alleged
street railway wrecking methods Of the
General Electric company. incidentally
the suit has brought out misappro-
priation of $75O,O0O of the local COM
panys bonds by Paul Schulz, who COM
mitted suicide when his creditors
pushed him to the wall
The Armours became interested in the
local street railway company several
years ago, when it had $75O,000 in cap
ital stock. On this Schulz issued ST.
100000 in bonds and disposed of $780,
900 through the New York Guaranty and
Indemnity company. The Armours are
innocent stockholders, and, not being
represented in the issue Of bonds, claim
the bond issue was excessive and un-
warranted. In placing these bonds, 1t
is alleged, Schulz made use Of dummy
syndicate
Another feature of the deal was the
purchasing of suburban railway for
$3.50, when it was valued at but $780,
OOO besides turning over to the seller
bonus of $141,000 All this the Armour
stockholders claim was done in collu-
sion and with view to permitting the
General Electric company to wreck the
local street railways
