MAYOR GRANT, RETURNS.


NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Ex-Mayor Hugh j.
Grant returned to-day from Europe, where
he has been on his wedding tour with his
bride, the daughter Of Senator Murphy. To
a reporter Mr.. Grant said. referring to the
leadership Of Tammapy Hall;
1T is unusual to decline to take some
thing that has not been offered. / have
given no intimation to anybody that I
would take an active part in politics. /
shall take emily an interest in public affairs
that every citizen ought to take.
Yes, / have heard about the rigid en-
fOrcement Of the excise law here, and that
on Sunday. New York becomes desert.
This liquor question was largely response
BILE for the defeat of the Liberal party in
England. Nobody. can dispute that law
should be so changed as to permit the vot-
ers in the several parts of the State to de-
termine whether liquor should be sold in
their communities on sundays
Regarding the proposed free coinage of
silver. Mr.. Grant said: II do not think it
but there Is little interest abroad in our
free coinage discussions. The general ques-
ton of bimetallic currency is interesting
people abroad. There are many bimetal-
lists in England. In Germany there is a
marked willingness to enter into an inter-
gold and silver. The holding of an interna-
tional conference preliminary to such an
agreement depends largely upon the action
of Great Britain. The new British Min
istry contains some ardent advocates of a
bimetallc currency, notably Mr. Balfour,
and the new Parliament may contain more
advocates of 1t than the previous Parlia-
ment, as the bifnetallic agitators cate
chised all the candidates for election upon
this matter" 3@sst

with Cardinal Gibbons, in the course Of
which the Cardinal says, concerning the
Catholic Church in France:
1.-THE French church is very strong, but
1t seems to me that somehow the church
in this country has got out OF touch with
the people, and, what is worse, 1T manifests
little disposition to get into touch with
them. The French church is heirarchial.

will not have been futile. The work of
Leo XIII will not be lost

World correspondent.

closely in touch with the head OF the

THIRTY ROBBED OF CLOTHING AND
vALUABLEs BY BANDITS.
Bold Work of Twenty Masked Dcs-
peradoes who Lay I'm Wait for
Travellers Near Santa Cruz.

CITY OF MEXICO. Aug. s.-Twenty
masked robbers. armed with American re-
volvers and muskets. attacked eight mule
feers at Santa Cruz Thursday. The rob-
bers tied their victims hands and feet and
then threw the muleteers into ditch, after
having stripped them and stolen both
clothes and money. Four bandits were left
on guard while the remainder went to at
tack travellers whose APPROACH had been sig
nailed by the robbers posted on a neighbor-
ing hill. The travellers were ambushed,
stripped naked and thrown into a ditch.
This went on until the bandits secured thir-
ty persons, all of whom were shivering
with cold in the early morning and lay
helpless in the ditch. About 8 o'clock in
the afternoon muleteer escaped and
alarmed a neighboring town. Troops were
sent to chase the bandits but the latter
eluded the authorities.

him. A good swimmer will throw IL out

swimming is to go into the water up TO
your arms and strike out, keeping both
feet of the bottom. Mind. don't let one
drag. Just think you won't go under and
you will be all right. In striking of. the
beginner should fall upon the water gently,
keeping his head and neck perfectly up
right, his breast advancing forward in uni
son with the legs. The back cannot be
too much followed or the head too much
thrown back.

PARTISANISM In THIS
SOME INSIDE AFFAIRS FROM THE
OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE.
How Governor Matthews Shows His
Love for the "Dear People" and
for the Dear Democracy.

Governor Matthews is nothing IL not 9
partisan. He will protect the members OF
his party and. incidentally. the interests
of the State but when 1t comes to seeing
to the interest of the State when 1t is op-
posed to the interest of his party. he IL
ready to close the eye that is devoted to the
State. This was exemplified In four In.
stances recently. member Of the Legisla-
ture may not hold any other office during
the term for which he was elected and still
be a member Of the Legislature, although
his prospective duties with that body are
fulfilled. The acceptance Of any other office
works a resignation as a member OF the
Legislature.
A short time ago Senator Clifford sent an
application to the Secretary of State for a
certificate as notary public. The commission
was duly made out and sent to Governor
Matthews for his signature. AS soon as the
Governor saw the name he recognized that
to sign 1t would make the Office of Senator
from Upton vacant, and, under the law,
he would be compelled to call a special
election and put that district to an expense
of several thousand dollars to I'LL the va
cancy, all of which would rebound with
great force against the Senator. He laid
the commission aside and telegraphed Sena-
tor Clifford to come 20 this city: When the
matter was explained Senator Ginord WITH
drew his application.
Last week, Representative Bobilya sent
in an application for a notary's commission
and called at the Statehouse the same day.
The commission was taken TO Governor
Matthews with some others. As soon as he
saw the name he withdrew his pen and
sent for Mr. Bobilya. 1t did not take long
to induce the Representative to withdraw
the application.
In two other cases Mr.. Matthews was not
so solicitous for the financial welfare OF
the people. Representatives Cardwill, Of New
Albany and Moore, of Greencastle, both
Republicans, sent in like applications and
when the certificates were presented TO
Governor Matthews he did not put himself
out TO explain to them that the acceptance
of the commission would vacate their other
ONCE and cause him to call special cleo
ton at considerable expense 10 their re-
spective counties. In case special session
should become necessary In these two
cases there would be a possibility OF elect
ing Democratic successors and for the sake
OF that possibility the Governor deemed
II best to allow these two counties to be
burdened with the expense OF elections,
which would amount to several thousand
dollars in each case.
