Strategy.

Two sets OF law Officers each claiming

on guard in Dunham's drug store, on the
corner or Tenth and d streets Constable
John SwinbuIne, under directions from JUS
tice U'Neil, early yesterday, on a warrant
issued on the complaint OF Burchard x
Co., levied on the stock of goods for debt,
amounting to nearly 800.
Later IN the day +. F. Cusick and W E.
Brown, deputy United States marshaIs.
put in an appearance. They were armed
with an attachment for rent, amounting
to $3.50, issued at the instance OF Mr.,
Stilson Hutchins the owner of the huiId-
ing. The marshals were refused admit
tance and consequently could not make "A
levy. They Laid round." as Mr.. Cusick
sald, and about 10 o'clock, when the
door was partially opened to n messenger
from Justice Cole, he forced his way into
the store. And there, he says, he and
his assistant will stay until called off
by the marshal.
Constable Swinburne is very indignant
ABOUT the manner in which the deputy mar.
shals effected an entrance, and saws he
Will see to 1T that they will not benef,r
by their trouble.
The inarshals say that an attachment for
rent takes priority over all other claims
So as far as they are Concerned, since
they have made tn eirl levy, they ar,. as god
as paid, and if there is not surs;cient ~,
pay all, the other claimants will have tn
whistle for their money.
MI. howard Cook, who is the Co of
me iirin or Burchard s. Co, arrived shortly

an entrance, and seemed very much dis
pleased with the carelessness OF Justic.

sa'd that he would hold Justice o'Seil
responsible for the results.

packed into large boxes and il was stated
mat it was the intention of Burchard &

black DEATH from 34S to 1850, followed
by a universal persecution OF the Jews.
From 1874 to 147O the dancing or re-
lisious ecstatic mania had its run, and
tive, financial, economic, and religious
crazes If the silver wave is not one Of
those peculiar hypnotic epidemics TO what
shall we attribute il? There is neither
reason, sense, argument, nor excuse for
such n madness, and If 1t is not a mild
form of brain disease what can it be?
History has often recorded the insane
freaks of Il people, their fall from pros
pcrity through unwise laws or their over
throw of a government at tile demand OF
half-craZcd leaGers. The coming OF Christ
as n redeemer naturally furnishes op-
poriunity for impotsfors to thrust them selves
ON the public in times of distress. The
rise of master minds when war or some
other great catastrophe threatens has also
led many 10 attribute the presence Of these
leading spirits TO the supernatural.
But an investigation Will slow that all
great men from Moses to Lincoln have been
endowed with superior intellect and were
not the creatures OF unknown causes. 1t
has been represented that Mr.. Bryan is
dcmigod raised to free the country from
financial slavery. A glance at his past
should dispel that delusion. No act of his
from his first baby cry to his present
campaign cvinceS an ability above
mediocre His speeches are drivels of il
logical argument. His claims To statesman
ship will not stand analysis. He asserts and
assumes without demonstrating, and if he
is a savior heaven help the country.
The truth is that most silverites are not
using their brains. They are being hypno-
tlzed by a phantom. Binietallism is impos-
sible, and the concurrent mintage of gold
and silver under free coinage is only
day dream of theorists. Every prominent
man supporting free silver is influenced
by selfish motives. They expect TO de-
rive wealth, office or power through the
crcdulity Of their followers. All these poll
ticians are uptolding a cause they know
to he impracticable, and when the present
silver wave subsidies they will find them
selves stranded.
