The New Gospel.

New York's "great silver
paper the New York Journal,
says that Rev. DR.. Parkhurst
has come back from Europe
fully informed as to many i'm
portant things. He has, for ex-
ample, discovered and stated,
with reverence" even the AL
nighty's inability to restore
silver to it's old time parity with
gold. He has discovered, too,
that Mr.. Bryan's candidacy has
brought about, and is bound to
bring in still greater degree, the
most appalling calamity which
it is possible for the mind of the
pastor of rich New York con-
gregation to conceive. On Sum-
day he said from the sacred
desk:
1.-THE principles advanced by
some of the men seeking to
gain control of this Government
in this campaign have had the
effect of making stocks 60
down. Of course stocks have
gone down. And they will con-
tinue to 60 down, and they will
stay down. until there is re-
stored the confidence Of the
people,
Had DR.. Parkhurst's Master
been as enlightened as his
servant on the really vital
things of this brief span of
human existence, he might
have spared Jerusalem's Wall
Street the Black Friday which
no doubt followed His Anarch-
istic assault upon the financiers
who we're doing business in the
Temple.

What 1t Means.

"ndl IL NAcdnS.
7. H. Walker, a gold mono
metallist of Chicago, estimates
the total indebtedness of the peo-
pie of the United States at $751;
1853, 100000. (See Wharton
Bankers Bimetallism, page 1917.
This represents theinterest bear
ing obligations held against
American industry and capital
by the creditor class of our own
country and Europe. At 5 per
cent it means an annual interest
burden of nearly 100000.
This enormous sum, represent
ing only the interest on
our debts, is greater than the en-
tire value for the year 1895 Of
our foreign commerce, including
both exports and imports. It
lacks only 3 per cent of being
equal to all the grain, cotton
and live stock in 1895 raised in
the United States. It amounts
to nearly $23 per capita
for every man, woman and child
in the country, and estimating
five persons to the family,
amounts to over SIP per year
for each of the 100000 fani-
lies that go to make up the
American nation.
Now the continuation of the
gold standard means these two
things:
First That to pay the inter-
est on this debt it will require
twice as much toll and sweat,
twice as much beef, or wheat or
cotton, as it would have taken
when silver was demonetized
and the eliminating act of this
conspiracy finally consummated.
And not only twice as much in
terest all these years that must
transpire before this debt can
be paid, but every dollar of the
principal, when it is paid, will
also represent twice as much
labor and it's products as it did
when these obligations were con-
tracted.
Second-That ifthe gold stand
ard wins that principal will
never be paid. 1t is not intended
that it should be paid. 1t was
created to remain forever-a per-
petual taskmaster-a perpetual
Charter of s1avery-a new sort of
deed-a system of in
direct bondage to make
the life of the producer, though a
to himself, a source Of

been demOnet1zed, by the bel1et
that such decentralization was
unintentional, and that it would
be remedied. First the whole
country took a stab at remed y
ing it and the result was
the Bland act. 1t was soon
seen that purchase of a few
million ounces of bullion wasn't
sufficient to restore silver, and
that nothing but complete re-
monetization would do the work.
Then the democrats of the south
and west promised to remedy
the wrong and the people believed
them. Cleveland, however said
"nit,"' because even in 1885 he be-
longed to Rothschild. In 1888 the
republicans promised to restore
silver, but they didn't. In fact
from 1886 to 1892 there was
hardly a prominent man in either
party southwest of a line drawn
from Baltimore to Cleveland
who wasn't a protested friend Of
silver. Hence silver never lost
much in price; it never really got
discouraged until the beginning
of Cleveland's second term. And
it is only since then that the full
effect of the legislation of 1878
has been felt.
There was. however. all those
years, a greater or less scarcity
of money, and that scarcity
which the gold bug manipula-
tion had created, they were util-
izing with great activity in order
to place their loans and get their
"death-grips" we'll fastened upon
American industry. Every coun-
try town in the agricultural west
had four mortgage sharks to
every preacher, and there wasn't
a newspaper in twenty states
that wasn't literally patronized
with loan company advertise
ments. And the editors in many
cases were subsidized to write
red hot editorials on building up
the country, and developing
farms, towns, etc., in order to
cajole the unwary into the loan
agents parlor. The object of
it all was to plaster the country
with mortgages, and when they
have all been foreclosed, not only
will English possessions in the
east have been enormously de-
veloped at our expense, but our
richest lands will have passed
into thepossessions ofthe Roths-
child e111issaries. and we will then

BLUFF KING HAL.
Paint and Powder Club of Baltimore
to Bring Their Burlesque.


The Paint and Powder Club of Baltimore
makes its second annual appearance in
Washington on Wednesday evening. May
6, at the Lafayett Square in a new bur-
lcsque written especially for them and en-
titled bluff King Hal" What strikes one
first of all in the production is its sump-
tuous characte The costumes a re ma gni-
ficent. The scenery is also beautiful. The
first act shows the landing of King Henry
from his barge, and a forest scene folio VS.,
the first act terminating with a view of
the Field of Cloth of Gold. The sc cond ct
opens with fairy scene, and afterward
Henry is shown sleeping in his tent. and he
has dream similar to that of Richard III
on the night preceding the battle of Bos-
worth. The play ends with tournament
and with a display of dancing.
The acting is uniformly excellent, Mr.
n. r. McNaIly appears as King Hal, Reese
Cassard S the King Of France, J. W Clay
ton as DaruIey, X. W. Mallinckrodt as
Tete de Veau and George Wilson as Suf-
folk. One of the best-played parts in the
cast is that of Sir Guy, the Cripple, which
Mr.. John s. Gibbs gives In serious vein,
after the manner of the hunchbak Duke of
Gloster, as performed by TRACE dians, and
1t Is an-excellen ut pie ce of work and discloSes
real talent for the stage. The parts of the
ladies' are all admirably filled. MessFs.
Ralph Emery appears as Queen Katharine,
Thomas Perkins as Anne Bo1eyn, Frank
and Harry Riggs as Jane and Blanche Sey-
! mour, Harry jenkins as Lady Constance
de Grey and Louis 0'Donnell as Rose de la
Folk. The whole distribution is admirable,
and, while the performers reserve the true
spirit of burlesque, there is yet artistic
restraint throughout and buffoonery is
absent. There is, however, some allowable
horSeplay in the tournament.

ANOTHER PENSION VETOED
President Disapproves of a Private
Bill at $50 Per Month.
He Does y OF Consider 1t just to Other
Pensioners \ or in Keeping With
the Spirit of the Law.

President Cleveland yesterday vetoed
bill granting a pension to Francis E.
Hoover, who served one year and nine
months in the army, and who was pension
ed at $50 month.
The President states that he does not
understand, it is claimed, that the present
helpless condition o. Hoover is attributable
TO his army service. He never applied for
a pension until after the passage OF the
law of Is 80, providing a pension for
veterans who are unable to maintain them
selves By manual labor, on account OF
u.sau auIIily not due to army service Hoover
is now receiving the largest pension per-
lmttedunder thatlaw. Continuing the Presl-
dent says:
His condition may well excite our
sympathy, but TO grant him pension Of
$50 month without the least suggestion
that his pitiable disability is related to
his army service, and In view or the fact
that he is now receiving the highest pension
allowed by a general law enacted to ex-
pressly meet such cases, it seems TO me
would result to an unfair discrimination as
against many thousand worthy soldiers
similarly situated, and would invite ap-
plica tions which, while difficult to re-
fuse in the face of such precedent, must
certainly lead to the breaking OF all the
limitations and restrictions provided by
our laws regulating pensions
"The value of pension legislation" the
MESA ge concludes, depends as much
upon fairness and justice In its administra-
tion as it does upon Its liberality and gener-
osity."
The report of the House Pensions Com
mittee shows that Hoover's service was
