The rich thieves of the Union Stock
Yards who stole water from the Chi
cago city water works, by connecting
the water mains with pipes that run
into the packing and fertilizing manu-
featuring establishments Of that nest
Of millionaire anarchists, have not yet
been made even to pay for the water
that they stole, and no effort has been
made to indict them for the crime they
committed. Chicago is pretty steadily
engaged in hanging friendless and OBJ
scure men who commit murder; in i'm
prisoning little boys who, from their
environments are led into little pilfer-
ing; in Furnishing men who sometimes
steal to keep their children from starv-
ing, and men who steal coat to keep
them from freezing in winter; but

SUMMARY OF CONTESTS.
OF 136 Claimants for Seats Rejected,
Slxty-Two Were for Mckinley.

Ot l3O claimants Tor Seats Rejected,
SI1ty-Two Were for Mckinley
ST. Louis, Mo-, June 1G. AN analysis
of the work of the national committee
in regard to the l6s contests which
were fled with it shows that 1876 cases
were acted on, some of the original
number having been abandoned, while
several, notably those of Delaware
and portion of the Texas delegation,
were referred to the convention. In
many cases both contestants and con-
testees were Understood to be McKin-
ley men, notably in all of the
Mississippi and South Carolina dis
tricts, and in certain districts from
Tennessee, Virginia and elsewhere.
Of the 1876 claimants rejected by the
committee, SlXty-two were avowed
Mckinley men. The impression
which prevailed during the consider
alton of these cases, that the COM
mi'tee was deciding large majority
Of the cases in favor of Mckinley,
doubtless grew out of the fact that in
nearly all of the states where there
were large number of contests, both
the contestants and contestees were
aVowed Mckinley men, and, as a
natural and necessary result, more
Mckinley men were seated than were
anti-McKinley men, since in so many
of the cases contestants and con-
testees were, according to their own
statements, Mckinley men.

PLUTocRArIc METHODS.

This one issued by an agent Of Lon
don capitalists to New York capital
lists in 1862:
The Hazard Circular.
Slavery is likely to be abolished by
the war power and chattel slavery de-
stroyed. This, I and my European
friends are in favor of, for slavery Is but
the owning Of labor, and carries with 1t
the care for laborers, while the Euro
pean plan, led on by England, is for
capital to control labor by controlling
wages. This can be done by controlling
the money. The great debt that capt.
talists will see to 1t Is made out of
the war, must be used as measure to
control the volume of money. To ac-
complish this bonds must be used as a
banking basis. We are now waiting to
get the Secretary Of the Treasury to
make this recommendation to Con-
gress. 1t will not do to allow the green
back, as it is called, to circulate as
money for any length Of time, for we
cannot control that.
This one afterwards issued by New
York bankers to the National Banks:
The Bank Circular.
Dear Sir: 1t is advisable to do all in
your power TO sustain such prominent
daily and weekly newspapers, especial
ly the agricultural and religious press,
as will oppose the issuing of green
back paper money, and that you also
will hold patronage or favor from all
applicants who are willing to oppose
the government issue of money. Let the
government issue the coin and the
banks issue the paper money of the
country, for then we can better protect
each other To repeal the law creating
the National Bank notes or to restore
to circulation the government issue OF
money will be to provide the people
with money, and will therefore serious
ly affect your individual profit as bank
ers and lenders. See your Congressman
at once and engage him to support our
interests that We may control legIsla-
ton.
This one issued March, 1898, by the
Bankers Association to all National
Banks:
The Panic Bulletin.
Dear Sir: The interests of the Ma
tlonal Bankers require immediate
financial legislation by Congress. Sill
yer, Silver Certificates and Treasury
notes must be retired, and the National
Bank notes upon a gold basis made the
only money. This will require the au-
thorlzation Of from $5OO,OOO,OOO to ST.
000,0O0,000 Of new bonds as a basis of
circulation. You will at once retire
one-third of your circulation and call
in one-half Of your loans. Be careful
to make money stringency felt among
your patrons, especially among infiu-
entail business men. Advocate an ex-
ira session Of Congress for the repeal
of the purchase clause Of the Sherman
law and act with the other banks of
your city in securing a large petition to
Congress for its unconditional repeal.
Use personal influence with Congress
men and particularly let your wishes
be known to your Senators. The fu-
ture life of National banks as fixed and
safe investments depends upon imme-
diate action as there is an increasing
sentiment in favor of government legal
tender notes and silver coinage.

WE'LL CARED FOR.

A touching incident that shows
one of the brightest principles of
Pythianism in all its beauty is go
ing the rounds Of the press: Some
time ago man named Mathis,
member of the order of Knights Of
Pvthias, died at Charleston, H.,
leaving a widow and four children.
The widow was stricken with con
sumption and the members of the
Charleston lodges sent the family
to San Diego, Cal, in the hope that
the mothers health might be re-
stored But too late. She died
last week and the noble Knights
out there took the matterin charge,
provided for the transportation of
the body and the four little orphans
to Illinois. they were placed on
the train and the X. of p. lodge at
the first station where meals were
served were notified. From city to
city, as the train sped onward,
messages were sent over the wires
to X. of p. lodges that the little
folks were coming, and not in one
instance was care and sympathy
tagging. As the train would pull
into a city body of the members
of the order would board tt, search
ing for the little mourners and
bring with them baskets of fruit

and swetemeats, souvenirs OF their
kindness and attention, when meal
time arrived no passengers on the
crowded train Jared better. Warm
dinners at the best hotels, breakfast
and supper with the Pythians and
a nights rest in downiest beds of
the city. Surely the little TO ks
will never forget this trip. At st.
Louis a committee Of the order met
the train, carried the children to
good warm meal, and returned
them loaded down with fruits and
all nice things, nor did they leave
them until the train had wendell
its way out of sight" The little
ones are now at home among friends
and though bereft of their natural
they have tangible proof
that they have strong and willing

MANSFIELD GETS THE LAND.


The contest for 100 acres of land
near Riverside. between George
Mansfield and Girard Clark, has
been decided by the commissioner
of the general land office at Wash
ington in favor of the former, says
the Commoner.
The contest dates back to March
4th, 1894. At that time Mr. Mans
field and several others went to the
vicinity Of Riverside to take up a
quarter section of land for the for
mer When they arrived at the
place they found that the land had
been taken However, there was
quarter adjoining which was appar-
emily vacant. 1t was covered with
snow, and there were no evidences
of improvement. Someone stated
that Mr. Girard Clark had taken
it, but as the law had apparently
not been complied with and there
was no one living on it Mr.. Mans
field concluded toiump it. He i'm
mediately began the erection of
buildings, and at once located on
the place Mr. Clark soon reap.
peared and claimed that the land
rightfully belonged to him. He,
too, erected buildings on the land
and moved his family onto the
place.
The houses of the two families,
were not more that 40 feet apart,
and as the feeling between the
neighbors was extremely bitter,
hostilities were almost unavoidable
Quarrels became more frequent and
severe Each tried to get the other
out of the way, and soon there were
three criminal charges filed in the
superior court. Neither side sue
ceeded in sending any of the mem
bers of the opposition to the pen
itentiary, but the county was put
to consldera bic expense because of
the cases.
The decision is a great victory
for Mansfield, especially SO because
he submitted his case to the com
missioner without making out a
brief. Mr. Clark will have 80 days
in which to appeal to the secretary
of the interior, and if he atlirms the
decision, as is probable, Mr. Clark
and family will be compelled to
give their opponent undisputed
possession.

THE MODERN WOMAN'S PAS
TIMES.

There is truly no lack Of genuine
muscular enterprise among the
women of society this summer.
Besides playing polo with wonder
ful long-handIed sorts of tennis
racquets and rubber balls, on their
BICYCLES, at three of the most fam
Gus seaside resorts they are to have
bicvcle tournaments. Newport,
Narragansett Pier, and Bar Harbor
are all filled with enth usiastic
cyclists, who for the consideration
of five dollars apiece will let the
general public gather to see how
cIeverIy the daughters of million
aires and society leaders can ride.
The admission fee of five dollars is
really meant to bar out the rough
public; and, in fact, one can buy
ticket only if we'll known or guar
anteed to belong to what is called
the smart set The money taken
in at the gate, in every instance,
will 90 for charity. The tourna-
ment undoubtedly will be worth
seeing, for only expert women eye
lists will appear, and they are all
to contest for prizes worth winning.
Tall gold vases, wonderful enam-
eled toIlet brushes, etc, a parasol
with a row of lovely sapphires in
the handle, a bicycle watch and
cyclometer, both set with French
brilllants, are among the articles
offered at the Newport contest.
Here the competitions will be var
led and interesting. Every rider
will be obliged to wheel her way in
and out a complicated path six
inches wide, marked out by hens
eggs at every turn, and according
to the number Of eggs left intact or
crushed after wheeling over the
course, one will win or lose the Of
fered prize. To every wheel woman
will be given a bicycle taken to
pieces and apparently in a hope
less muddle; whoever in the short

most correctly together again will
fall heir to the handsome cyclom-
