LEFT HIS BOOTY BEHIND.

The home Of J. g. Ewald, the popular en-
ploye Of Mullins & sons, at No. 5 Duncan
avenue, was entered by burglars last night.
How entrance was effected no one can tell.
There is a belief. however. that skeleton
keys were used.
The burglar went through the house very
quietly and gathered up jewelry and silver
ware worth about $500. He packed his booty
in Il bag and secreted it in the beck ward.
He was evidently frightened away, al the
servant girl this morning found all the stolen
property where the thief had left it. The
police are investigating the case.

MISSIONS.

The annual report Of the Moravian
church gives $50 mission stations, 400
missionaries and $4,000 converts in
heather lands.
The native Christians in heather
lands last year gave 1853 900, more than
one-ninth the amount raised in the
United States.
The last of the heather on Efate
Island are being gathered into the
church as the result of twenty-three
years faithful labor.
One hundred and fifty Chinese con-
Verts were baptized during the last
twenty months by Rev. Hopkin Rees
at Tientsin, north China.
AS the American Baptist Home Mis-
sion society is heavily burdened with
debt, the board Of managers Of that
society, at a meeting held Sept. IA, de-
cided to make no appropriations for
missionaries salaries for the present for
a period extending beyond Dec. 81,
1896, unless the current receipts mean
time shall be very considerably in
creased.
The vast possibilities open to an in
diVidual society of Christian Endeavor
are shown in a report that comes from
Geelong, Australia. The Yarra Street
Wesleyan society, which contains five
divisions and $50 members, has organ
lied boys club, mems club, birth
day league for missionary purposes and
a Sunday school home department.
During the year 1t held 2OS cottage
prayer meetings, besides seventy-eight
open air services; 4,251 visits were paid
and 2,4S8 loaves Of bread distributed
The Juniors provided an outing for one
hundred slum children, distributed $50
bouquets Of flowers and made more
than 500 visits. The other labors of the
society were on a proportionate scala

Tho sound Money FalIsey.

Sound money, honest money! What
do you mean by that?
We mean that gold coin only is to
be our legal tender.
But how are we 70 get enough to do
all our business?
o, we do not intend that gold coin
is to circulate. The circulation is TO
be Of bank notes and silver, but 1t is
to rest upon the gold. Every dollar
is to be redeemable in gold.
But you will not have gold enough
to redeem all the silver and paper.
There will always be three or four
dollars more Of circulation than Of re-
demption money.
Yes; but nobody will ever expect to
see all the silver and paper come in
for redemption at one time.
And that is honest money! A pre-
tense Of having enough gold on hand
to redeem three or four times more Of
its representatives in silver and paper.
Each representative being in reality
worth not over 25 or 30 cents on the
dollar. That Is worse than the So
cent silver dollar you accuse US Of
wanting to circulate. So much for your
sound money.-ADDeal to Reason.

WHAT WASHINGTON SAID.
Foreign Influence tho Foe of RepublI.
can Government.

Foreign Influence tho Foe of RepublI-
can Government.
George Washington, in his farewell
address, among other things said:
Against the insidious wiles Of for
eign influence, believe me, fellow clti-
Gems, the jealousy Of free people ought
to be constantly awake, since history
and experience prove that such influ-
ence is one of the most baneful foes of
republican government. The
great rule Of conduct for us in regard
to foreign nations is to have with them
as little political connection as posi-
BILE. " Why foregO the adVant-
ages Of so peculiar a situation las we
possess)? Why quit our own to stand
upon foreign ground? Why, by inter-
weaving our destiny with that Of any
part of Europe, entangle our peace and
prosperity in the tolls Of European am
bition, rivalship, interest, humor or ca
price? 'Tls true our policy is to steer
clear Of permanent alliances with any
portion of the foreign world.
Constantly keeping in view that it's
folly in one nation to look for disinter-
ested favors from another; that it must
pay with a portion of its independence
for whatever it may accept under that
character, there can be no greater err
ror than to expect or calculate upon
real favors from nation to nation. IT'S
an illusion which experience must cure
which Just pride ought to discard.

FREE BALLOT AND FAIR COUNT
One of the Demands of the Peoples
Party.

One of the Demands of the Peoples
Party.
The Peoples party, at It's National
Convention at st. Louis, declared in
favor of free ballot and fair count in
the following language:
Believing that the elective franchise
and an untrammeled ballot are essen
tial to government of, for, and by the
people, the Peoples Party condemns
NE wholesale system Of disfranchise-
ment adopted in some Of the States as
lnrepublican and .undemocratic, and we
declare 1t to be the duty of the several
state legislatures to take such action
IS will secure full, free, and fair bal
lot and honest count"
With the Popullsts in most Of the
Southern States this question is one Of
supreme If not paramount Importance.
II the pressing issues Of the hour are
to be settled in accordance with the
spirit Of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and the meaning of the Constitu-
tion, the people must be free to vote as
they choose and have that vote counted
as cast.
By system Of gerrymandering con-
gressional districts in some states, and
constitutional limitations and bare
faced fraud in others, the great issue
in these states is an untrammeled bal
lot. Without 1t no reform can be ac-
complished. Without it platforms, and
declarations and demands amount to
nothing. To the Populists Of the South
especially the Importance Of this issue
Is apparent. While they are agitating
other questions no effort should be
spared to secure to ever legal voter,
not only the right to vote freely as he
chooses, but the right to know that his
vote will be counted as it is cast.
If the fear of negro domination ever
was any excuse for tampering with the
ballot box that day is past. Recent
election returns prove that the negro
to-day is with the party that most
feared his domination, or that that
party Is. guilty of the most fragrant
frauds on the right of elective fran
chise that ever desgraced a civilized
people. In either case the demand for
free ballot is no less urgent.
The cry should go up from one end
Of the land to the other for the rights
Of citizenship. The dark frauds which
have been perpetrated on the right OF
elective franchise is blot on our good
name, shame to our civilization. No
party can any longer afford to cOndone
Or apologize for base election methods
employed in many states in the South
by the dominant party. II this question
is pressed from now on as 1t should be,
the party in power must either amend
the laws and for its methods or the
people will rise up and overthrow 1t.
The right Of free and untrammeled
franchise is dearer to the American
citizen than any other. Let concert
ed effort be put forward from now on to
secure that right, and in such manner
that the demand dare not go unheeded

Tho Spirit of Modern Athon..

Modern Athens, which recalls in so
many ways the Athens of ancient days,
has inherited from her the privilege Of
being beautiful and enriched by her
children. The public treasury was not
always very we'll filled in those times
any more than in the present, but
wealthy citizens who had made for
tunes at distance liked to crown their
commercial career by some act Of lib
erality to the mother country. They
endowed the land with superb edifces
Of general utility-theaters, gymna-
STA, temples. The modern city is like
wise full Of monuments which she owes
to such generosity. It was easy to OBJ
tain from private individuals what the
state could not give. The Olympic
games had burned with so bright lus-
ter In the past Of the Greeks that they
could not but have their revival at
heart.-"The Olympic Games Of 1885,"
by Baron Pierre de Caubertin, in the
Century.

AS TO SOLDIERS PENSIONS.
The PIutocrats' Concern About Then
Payment in Cheap Dollars.

The PIutocrats' Concern About ThelA
Payment In Cheap Dollars.
The Sound money" people are Wis
IDLY agitated over what appears to
them to be the danger Of paying the
old soldier his pension in cheap dol
lars" It Is not the first time this ele-
ment has manifested much concern
about the interests of the old soldier.
A suspicious circumstance, however, Is
that this concern always assumes
greatest activity during the heat OF
political campaign. Most Of the old
soldiers are aware Of this and make
due allowance for the self-interests
which prompt this seeming devotion to
their interests.
There was a time when the old sold
Ter was being paid in 4O-cent dollars
as compared with gold. 1t was when he
was enduring the hardships of tented
field, Of tiresome march and dangerous
conflict. At that time this same sound
money crew were at home, gambling in
gold, depreciating the soldiers money
and specializing off the necessities Of
the government. Under the cloak Of
pretended patriotism they were bleed
ing the country. Their speculations pro-
longed the war and added to Its cost.
They purchased greenbacks for 40 cents
on the dollar, converted them into
bonds, and afterwards had law pass
ed making the bonds payable "in coin"
BY legislation they made their Accents
worth a 100 cents. They did this al
though there was nothing promised or
implied in the contract that it should
be done. Not so with the soldier. He
was first paid in coin, or its equivalent.
and the implication was that he should
continue to receive his pay in that kind
of currency.
But he took 1t in greenbacks.
He never grumbled.
He knew that the honor Of the Ma
ton depended upon the success Of arms
and not on the kind of money he was
paid in.
He marched and camped and fought
until victory perched upon our ban
ners. Then he was paid of in this pur-
posely discredited money and went
home.
In 1869 a law was passed which
made up the difference between tho
coin and face value Of the greenback
to the bondholder. They called 1t
protecting the National honor. A bill
was introduced to make up this differ
ence to the soldier.
1t was hooted at and scorned.
The men who remained at home and
bled the government were rewarded as
patriots.
The men who barred their breasts to
the enemy's bullets; who carried the
flag from Sumter to Appomattox; who
by their patriotic devotion saved not
only the Nations honor, but the Ma
ton itself, were scorned and neglected
by the treacherous leeches who bled
their country in its hour Of trial.
Talk about justice to the soldier! Let
justice be done as 1t has been more
than done to the bondholder, and every
sound money blatherskite in the coun-
try would hold up his hands in hol!
horror.

It has bribed men chosen to represent

It has bribed men chosen to represent
the people.
1t has made protection of property
the sole object of our government.
It has plundered the people, driven
young girls to prostitution, starved
wives and children, driven men from
happy firesides to wander on the high
ways and caused the murder and i'm
prisonment of workingmen whose only
crime was helplessness.
It is at this time engaged in fastening
the chains Of debt slavery upon the
producers of this country, by issuing
bonds, destroying the money Of the
people, and setting up golden calf
and hunk of soap grease to rule the
nation.
1t has caused young men in the mill
tary service to shoot down their faith
erss brothers and friends to protect
property" when itself has hired incen-
diaries to burn property so as to make
an excuse for using military force in
driving men back to work at starVa'
ton wages.
1t has imprisoned men for stepping
on the grass at Washington.
1t has caused men to be sent to the
penitentiary for asking for bread.
1t was the cause of the late war in
which thousands Of able-bodied young
men were murdered, and the principal
result of which was the creation Of a
debt whereby not only the negro but
the white man is made slave, and the
owner has not even the responsibility
Of feeding him.
And hundred more things we might
mention.
But, we gods! is not this enough to
boil the albumen white in every drop
of patriotic blood in American veins?

A Good Advertising Medium.


A glance in an Atlanta book store
yesterday made this striking truth
stand forth:
Death is sometimes a big advertise
ment.
In no department Of human effort do
men put forth such terrific energy as
in their attempts to catch the public
eye. Men rack their brain for ingeni-
GUS schemes to attract public attention.
The good advertiser is the rarest and
richest Of successes.
But some times all the cleverness
and ingenuity Of these brain workers
are beaten-aud Unexpectedly.
Du Maurier's death last week was
an advertisement for Harper Bros.
which no idea they might dig out Of
their brains could excel. 1t has started
a great rush after last months Har-
per's, which contained the first INSTALL
ment Of "The Martian," Dp Maurier's
new story, and a third edition of the
number is now being fast exhausted.
Those who cannot find the magazine
are investing in Peter Ibbetson," and
If there happen to be any who have not
read 'Trilby" they invest in that. The
book dealers will tell you that in the
past four days there has been a won
derful demand for Du Maurier's works.
This great author who has added
thousands to the Golfers of the Har-
pers by his life, is adding thousands
to their profits by the mere fact Of his
daath.-Atlanta Constitution.

POPULARITY OF SARATOGA.
Attraction of American watering Place
Sung in London Papers.

"a
Sung in London Papers.
Saratoga Springs will always be pop
ular. You have here the best Of Amer
lean society, less exclusive than New
port or Lenox, less mixed than Long
Branch and Manhattan Beach and vast
ly more representative than either, says
a letter in the London Telegraph. This
is mainly due, perhaps, to the enormous
hotels, with their huge verandas or
piazzas in front and vast garden court
yards in the rear, which is the special
feature Of Saratoga. These gigantic
structures are among the biggest hos
telries in the world. Two of the larg-
est provide something like 1000 beds
each and their lofty and spacious halls,
drawing, dining and reception rooms
are all on a scale of corresponding
magnitude. Here all classes melt and
blend. Round the inclosed garden
courts are built tiers of elegant apart
ments, each with its veranda, while
every set of rooms on the same floor
is technically a cottage. Julian Haw-
thorne says a walk round the circuit
Of these Verandas takes long enough
for young man and woman to become
acquainted, to get engaged and break
1t OFF again. This estimate is so def
mite that hesitate almost to repeat
the cruder statement that one Of the
courtyards measures seven acres. 1t Is
marvellous, however, how attractive the
Enclosures of these two great hotels are.
In the hottest afternoons the branch
ing elms and the sugar naples throw
their shadows across the green sward
and, in the cool, delicious evenings,
when the bands are playing, the foun-
tains flowing and ladies in gauzy toll
cites promenading, the scene Is charm
ing. Besides its agreeable society, let
me say that Saratoga has many natural
attractions. From New York you ap-
proach 1t as far as Albany by the. Hud-
son-the Rhine of America. Up this
river the blue tidal waters Of the At
lantic flow as far as Poughkeepsie. On
both sides of the stream the banks
are lofty and we'll wooded, and all the
way along are dotted with villages and
country residences standing in pictur-
esque Enclosures, slipping down very Of
ten to the waters edge. On the north
ern side Of Saratoga are Lakes George
and Champlain, two of the prettiest
Of transatlantic inland waters. In
former days also the village, like Tun-
bridge wells, owed its reputation to the
springs. There are any number of
them. They come bubbling up from
great depths, charged with carbonic
acid, sodium, potassium, lithium and
calcium in varied combinations There
was time when people came here to
repair shattered constitutions by drink
ing at the geysers, or Washington
spring, or the Saratoga Vichy or Carls
bad.

circumstances make 1t my duty to
call the attention of congress to the

for the convenience Of the government,
that institution has become the scourge
Of the people. Its interference to post
pone the payment of a portion of the

public money appropriated for that
purpose to strengthen it in a political
contest, the extraordinary extension
and contraction of its accommodations
to the community, its corrupt and par

important proceedings, the unlimited
authority conferred on the president
to expend its fund in hiring writer's

the retention Of the pension money
and books after the selection Of new
agents, have through various channels
been laid before congress. They were

real distresses which individuals and
