THE ARCHBISHOP SPEAKS.

Elsewhere in the paper this morning
we give the reply of Archbishop Ire
land to the request Of number Of
gentlemen of this city that he give
public expression to his, Judgment
upon the issues involved in the present
campaign. 1t Is eminently proper that
he should speak, not only in his capac-
ity as citizen. but in his official ca
pacity, because, as we have strenu-
ously urged, there are moral questions
bound up in the issues, and these are
especially within the province of the
sumes to speak as a private individual,
his words will have and should have
the weight of his priestly office.
His training leads him to respect
authority, and the assault upon the
power of the general government to
enforce the laws of the nation natu-
rally strikes him as being the most
serious of all of the purely political
questions, but one not without its
moral side. for loyalty to the general
SONCIHllSII is lIlStpdTdDI0 IEO1H the
moral duty of the citizen. But it is
where he asks if it is honest to pay
back half that one has borrowed that
he makes the highest appeal to the
moral sense Of men. 1t raises the
question of money above the plane Of
expediency or policy and places it
firmly and squarely on the ground of
right and honor and justice. 1t is on
this ground that we feel the cause of
honest money has it's firmest founda-
tions. We share the confidence of the
! archbishop that such an appeal will
not fall on deaf ears and that ma
jority, large majority, of the voters
will make answer to It that it is not
honest. AS a contribution to the
cause Of sound currency the paper is a
most valuable and influential one.

One might assent to 1t and ask what
OF 1t? 1t relates to conditions that do
not exist and have not existed for
many years. 1t means, applied to pres
ent conditions, that the demand for
money exceeds the supply. This is not
not been since, at least, 1879 when gold
was converted by resumption from a
commodity into commodity money.
The proof of this is ample. If the de-
mand for money exceeded the supply
of 1t, the first place in which theS in
crease in the value OF the dollar would
be felt would be in the price asked for
its use. This is true Of everything else
and Is true of money. So far from
there having been an increase in the
price Of the use of money there has
been steady decline This Is COM
mon knowledge. In the familiar case
OF wages the steady advance before the
panic of 1893 proves that the supply
OF money has been equal to if not in
excess of the demand 1t is on his
first" and unmentioned second ''prin-
c1ple' that Mr.. Bryan rests his whole
case, and when that falls before the un--
questionable facts Of the actual con-
dition the case falls with it. One can
but regret that so much ability, so
much that commands admiration, is
devoted to maintaining so untenable
proposition.

duration of life, and much Of 1t Is due
to Goodyear's discovery by means OF
which that elemental injunction of
health, keep your feet dry, is made
practicable. 1t. has given to the Ian
guage a term to. signify the pliability
of the conscienees. and convictions of
men who go "rubbernecking."
The bicycle would not be the uni
versal thing it has become but for rub
Der. The old veiocipede, with it's iron
trimmed wheel, soon lapsed into disuse
The cushion tire was soon supplanted
by the pneumatic, and with 1t came
an expansion Of the usefulness of the
wheel that has augmented immensely
the demand upon the sources of rubber
production. Infresponse to 1t the ex
tension of plantations In South Ameri-
ca has gone on, accompanied with
greater care ofc the, trees, which were
soon destroyed by the methods used by
the natives in getting the gum. The
Florida experiment is but an indication
or the extent of this increase of de-
mand. But the limit of the pneumatic
tire is not reached when it cushions the
riders or the safety. French elegance
and love of comfort called rubber into
use some time ago to form the tires of
their carriages, but now the bicycle
wheel, with it's steel spokes and pneu-
matte tire, is being applied to the car
-jQc 90 In Do
rich, but to the cabs and common car
riages. There is a reduction in weight
OF 100 to $50 pounds in the lighter
wheels, while the draft is easier and
the comfort Of the passenger is great
er. 80 marked is the preference given
by those who engage cabs to the
pneumatic wheels that the drivers who
hire their cabs Of the companies will
1ngly pay from so to rs cents day
more for their use than for the iron
tired cabs. Thus there opens up a, very
wide field for the use of rubber with
corresponding increase of demand.
But this demand is not wholly con-
fined to the gum trees of the tropics
for it's supply. Another news item re-
Gently mentioned the shipment of sixty
tons Of old goloshes, as the English
call our overshoes, from Constantinople
to the United States to be worked over
into new fabrics The rubber over
shoe is very generally worn in Turkey
as result of that immemorial custom
OF the Turk of removing the outer COW
ering of the feet before entering a
house. The overshoe has come in to
relieve the need Of unlacing and re-
moving the shoe, thus preserving the
custom while removing it's inconyen-
fences One Of the singular sights noted
by travellers there is the array of over
shoes outside the entrances to the gov
eminent offices where many visitors GO
daily. 1t is from this common use that
came the sixty tons Of worn-eut shoes
That have come here to be rejuvenated
and sent out again on their missions
Of usefulness. 1t is but another illus
tration of the extent of the utilization
OF waste material that is one Of the
striking and valuable advances of eco
nomic industry in the last half of the
century

Capt. ROuIeau strnightens Out u Do

The officer in charge of the central
police station nights has some queer
experiences and is often called on to
settle disputes and referee matters
which would puzzle the most learned
judges Of the courts. Without any
legal knowledge except that picked ND

matters up with a diplomacy which is
something wonderful. A case came
under his attention Saturday night
which looked as though it might lead
to something serious, but the captain,
in way satisfactory to himself, soon
Strengthened 1t out.
1t was close to midnight when a
couple of ladies arrived at the station
and were ushered into the private Of
fee. One Of them was the much
abused wife, according to her state
ments, of a travelling salesman. The
other was friend who is not unknown
to the public as member Of the league
formed for the rescuing OF young girls
and women from lives Of shame. The
story as related TO Capt Rouleau was
that the travelling man had forsaken
his wife and home and was supposed
to be at that very hour In the rooms OF
a woman on North Washington street.
Calling an officer the captain in
structed the man to proceed to the
place where the travelling man was said
to have been tracked by his wife and
to bring the parties to the station.
While the patrolman was gone the wife
was consoled by her friend and the
police captain. The officer returned In
a few moments with the travelling man,
but without the woman who. It was
alleged, was the cause Of the trouble.
The policeman reported that he had
visited the house, which IL n respect
able one, and found ths man In bed
alone and aslssp II one OF the rooms
on the second floor Of the building.
There was no woman In any OF the
rooms on that floor and nothing to IN

1t is a Menace TO Good Govarnnent and
the Patriotism of Our People.
Editor The Gazette: There was a
timo in the history Of our nation when
men deliberated over the consequences
of political criticism, so far as it re-
garded the peace and prosperity of the
country. In tho exercise OF national
power the distinction between the two
great parties that have battled for the
public franchise appears so radically
different. This history begins with
the closing of the civil war, but its
chapters grow broader and bolder as
the century closes Our nation is the
grandest for its granting tho privilege
of free speech TO our progressive
people, but the welfare Of this nation
can not entirely depend upon legal
instrument, though its sections have
repeatedly fulfilled the requirements of
international complications. The well
fare of this nation demands a common
union to establish it as power Its
people must he in true sympathy, for
its defence, its principles and its
government
In the history of our two great par
ties we find a localization OF sentiment,
sectional as it was, but now generally
interspersed throughout the length and
breadth Of our Republic.
The representative men of these great
parties command the moral, social and
physical support of their constituents,
and any reflection in partisan sense
against representative man of one of
our American political parties threatens
the safety of our government. What is
the consequence of such an occurrence?
Truly, no broader instance presents
itself than the present desire Of the
ruling party among our congressional
representatives, An agent of our execu-
tive department is threatened with
public censure. A man whose brilliant
public career is untarnished whose
ancestors for generations have strug-
gled for their country's welfare, with
out blemish to crush its ambition.
only now to meet the partisan thrust
of some of his own countrymen.
What could be the consequence of
such an act, gratifying as it might be
to the ones it makes notorious, but
blow to the unity of the masses that
compose our nation. More than that,
it has its bearing upon conditions
tending TO international complications.
just now foreign government threat
ems violation of established doctrine: !:
'tls our agent to this same country
that disputes our rights, who is
threatened with disgrace, and disgrace
to him means insult to his party and
insult to his party means great deal
| more.
Can any political party afford to
threaten the peace of this nation? AS
Americans we are proud of our country,
conscious of its power, fearful Of any
rupture in its stability, but truly, let
the representatives of this nation
realize that partisan construction of
an enlightened ambassadors remarks,
fitting to social occasion, should not
be used as an instrument to threaten
the peace of our two great political
parties and tend to make bolder a
twice subdued nation and endanger
their own. Minqueis,

Serious Charge.

Serious Charge.
In court No. |, Philadelphia, before
Judge Yerkes, Police Sergeant Bate
man Saddington, of the Sixteenth dis
trict, Thursday, was placed on trial,
charged with felonious assault on May
Roop, the S-years-old daughter of Selby
j. Roop, formerly of Philadelphia, but
now of this city, and, after hearing,
the jury rendered verdict of Eot
guilty.
Mr.. Roop and his daughter were
called as witnesses against the defend
ant, who was represented by Attorney
A. s. l.. Shields Their testimony
was to the effect that on March oath,
1891, Sergeant Saddington entered MIR.
Roop's house, No. 1913 Haines street.
Germantown, about 3. 30 o'clock in the
afternoon, and taking the girl, who was
then s years old, upon his lap, at
tempted to criminally assault her. A
few minutes later Roop found his
daughter in the kitchen CRYING, and
she told him what had taken place.
: In his defence Sergeant Saddington
alleged that he had entered Roop's
house by the back way for proper
purpose, and in going out he happened
to see the child in the kitchen. AS he
was friend of the family, and had been
accustomed to petting the little girl,
he stopped moment TO rock her on
his knee. In swaying back and forth,
he said, he accidentally struck the
child's back against a chair and she
began crying, and, not being able to
pacify her, and remembering that he
had TO catch train, he put her down
and left the house. He Indignantly
denied any attempt on his part TO as
sault the child, as was alleged, and
medical testimony was produced to
show that it was physical impossi-
biity for the defendant to have done so.
In addition, large number of wit
nesses were called who testified to the
defendants good character, and the
case then went to the jury, with the
result above stated.

Two Officers Neatly Capture an Alleged
Highway Robber.
Joseph Briscoe, a colured lad, was ar
rested on Friday by Sergeant Bayley
and Officer Lucas at Talley's Corner,
in Brandywine hundred. on the charge
of highway robbery. The officers had
some difficulty in locating Briscoe,
and when they reached the house where
they were pretty sure he had taken re
fuge Briscoe hid in fireplace and
crawled up the flue. The officers
searched all over the house, and they
were about to leave the house when
one of the officers struck clue, and
Briscoe was found hidden away in the
fiue. He was hauled down and brought
in to the police station and locked up.
The catch was good one and the off
GERS will no doubt be given merit
marks by Chief Dolan. They worked
up the case admirably.
Briscoe was arraigned in the num-
cipal court on Saturday, when John L.
Young detailed the loss Of his watch
while he was with Briscoe Monday week
night. Louis Harris, with whom tie
watch was pawned on Tuesday, identi-
fled Briscoe as the man who had left ii
with him. Although Briscoe tried to
throw the blame on another colored
man the evidence was conclusive
against him and he was held in $500
bail to answer the charge at the upper
court.

DEsTR UCTITE FIRE.

The Aitmeyer Theater and the ONCE OF tho

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. s.-An early
morning fire at McKeesport, Pa, re.
suited in the loss of one life and the
destruction Of 5000, 600 worth of prop
erty. Among the buildings destroyed
was the Altmeyer Theatre, in which
was the Office of the McKeesport
Herald.
The fire started on the fifth floor of
the Altmeyer Building and is supposed.
to have been caused by defective cleo
trio light wiring. The flames we're dis
covered by the printers of the Herald.
The nights work had just been finished
and the paper was about to go to press.
When the flames were seen a rush was
made for the usual points of egress,
but the stairways were already impass-
able. The only resources left were the
windows and the elevator shaft. All but
G. M. Barton, the foreman, succeeded
in sliding down the ropes. HIS escape
was cut off and he was burned to death.
The flames spread TO the residence of
Peter Strong, adjoining, which was
totally d, stroyed. Polla rd's jewelry
store and Dietrich's livery stable we're
also on fire, but were not seriously
damaged. The loss on the Altmeyer
