The condition is the same in all the other
Pacific coast states, and there is not one

democrats have always carried Indiana on

populists. Now they have the fun populist
vote back of them. Besides, Bryan's mag

AT republican congressional committee

fairly oppressed with an abundance of
riches in the shape of bright political pros
poets. and every day fortune Tits the cor

sections.
Today it was Tennessee and Georgia that

Confidence. my fellow citizens, is the capi-

dence largely; we do not transact all our
business with actual money as every busi-
ness man knows. We do It by checks by
what we may call credit money. You draw
your check on bank, and the man who
receives It from your has confidence, first,
that you have the money IN that bank, and
second, that the bank is good and will pay
the check when presented.
But when. confidence is gone, then, be-
fore you can get the credit for that check,
there and that the bank is solvent. This is
the condition we have been In for the last

people to look out for themselves; nobody
will do that for them.

THE ARMENIAN REFUGEES.
Six Hundred Immigrants Cared for 81,

The public interest manifested in ,bo
Armenian refugees now daily arriving at
Ellis Island is unprecedented. report was
received today by Acting Commissioner
General Larned from DIR. Senner the immi-
grafton commissioner at New York submit
ting copies of large number of telegrams
and letters from persons in all parts of the
east, asking that from one to three of the
refugees be sent to them, and promising
constant employment and remunerative
wages as farm hands, house servants. etc
The report also said that several prominent
men of wealth and standing in New York.
Boston and other eastern cities have called
on DIR. Senner and have offered to furnish
bonds in any amount required that these
Armenians never will become public or
private charges. Although the officials are
In Iull sympathy with the purposes of these
pfllanthropic persons, yet the law admits
OF the exercise of little discretion in its en-
forcement.
The full time of the officials is being
taken up nowadays in providing temporary
accommodations for the crowds row cor
stantly arriving. Last night six hundred
immigrants were cared for at Ellis Island,
and request has been m made to the Treas
ury Department for authority to emnIov
additional help at the station. Mr. I.arned
assistant commissioner of immigration has
gene to New York to confer with DR. Sem
ner as TO what can be done to relieve the
coEgested condition, and also to discuss
the question as to whether the offers of
work for the Armenians may be considered
In determining the question of admission
This has been done in few cases in the
past. and it is not unlikely that, III the
offers are found upon investigation to be
bora fide and made by responsible per-
sons they will materially assist in solving
the problem.
A disqufeting report reached here today
to the effect that case of typhus was re-
ported from the steamship Obdam, which
arrived on the 18th instant with 167 Ar
menians Trustworthy advices from Eu-
rope state that each of the refugees is as
sisted by Lady Somerset and others in the
purchase of their tickets to America and
given about IS extra. These complications
make the settlement of the question cne
of extreme difficulty.

LIEUT.. BINNS' CARD.
He Attacks the President and AssnfI.
the Army.


Lieut.. ]. r. Binns. 1st Infantry, has COM
mitted a grave breach Of military discipline
and has made himself subject to dismissal
from the service. He has written an open
letter to the public, attacking the President
of the United States and assailing the army
as dangerous to the people. According to
his card, he imagines that the country Is
en- the verge of revolution, and that the
army will be used as a weapon against the
people. He was in command of a small
body Of troops during the labor riots in
California, and realizes, he SAYS, that the
power Of the government is destined to be
Used perniciously. Copies of this letter
were sent to various newspapers, with the
suggestion that 1t was worth $25. Only one
paper took advantage of the Offer 1t is
said that the screed is being used by the
democrats In certain localities to influence
the labor vote. Lieutenant Binns has given
public notice of his purpose of resignine
frcm q service that is so obnoxious to him.
Eis resignation has not yet reached the
War Department, however. Although the
officer could be court-martialed for his dis
respectful illusions to the President II is
said that II his resignation Is rendered II
will be accepted as the best way of Kidding
the service Of SO unworthy a member.
