A Ponulist Belief.

A resident of PoughkeeDsie a few days
ago received a letter from n friend In
Nebraska in which il is shown what
the mental caliber is of some of the be-
levers in free silver. The Nebraskan
who wrote the letter heard Populist
explain the meaning of 16 TO l TO a
group of attentive listeners.
He said that if Bryan should be elect
ed he would sell his grain this fall and
demand payment in gold. Then he would
go to the mint and receive $1,000 in sill
yer for each 800 in gold, and with that
silver he would pay off the mortgage on
his farm. He admitted that some of
his ncighbors did not explain the mean
ing of IL to l in the same way, but he
was quite sure he had the right under
standing of il.
Such story seems almost too absurd
to be true. but it may be assumed, log
ically, that n man who thoroughly and
honestly believes that the carrying out
of the financial policy laid out at Chi
cago will believe anything else that
would reveal itself to normal minds SS
once as nonsense.-Albany Express

An Illinois Crank who Wants TOpe-
ka Real Estate Mem to Send Him
Money.
A crank or a swindler signing himself
VIM. G. Goffiney of Normal, Illinois, has
been botherinR not few Topeka firms
with crazy letters in the past two months.
Gofiney opened his correspondence
with Oscar Bischoff in December, and ia
his first letter claimed to own consider
able land near ST. Marys in Shawnee
county along the line of the Union Pa
cifc. x He described the location of the
land pretty thorough ly and gave the
Rossville Nadeaus as reference. The
letter was written in such way that it
appears the man is a Frenchman and
knows the English language but i'm
perfectly Mr.. Bischoff asked him to
write in French but he did not do it.
He claimed his tenants were not pay
ing rent promptly and asked Mr.. Bischoff
to take the matter OF collections in hand
for him.
In another letter he said that Dumas,
the Frenchman who ran the French
kitchen on lower Kansas avenue, and has
since gone TO France, had in his posses
sion tin box of his; full of valuable
papers. He understood, he said, that Mr..
Bischoff had charge of Dumas Topeka
affairs and that he must therefore be in
possession of the box. He further added
Lhab II 6lSCQOn WOulQ S0nQ nun pow
by return mail it would be all right. Mr..
Bischof thought it would too, possibly,
but he didn't send it. He known of no
such box.
Goffiney then began a voluminous cor
res pondence with the Merchants Ma
tional bank and J. B. Bartholomew and
possibly others. In nearly all of the let
ters he requested advances of several
hundred dollars on property here that
none of them have since been able TO
tiud. He further complained that he was
being cheated here though just how is
not clear.
About two years ago a Frenchman
came to Topeka and bored all the real
estate men to death with propositions to
buy large quantities of land and repre-
sented that he had great deal of money
but whenever it came to deal he was
always unable to produce any money. It
is not known that he succeeded in
swirdliug any real estate men. Got1ney
is supposed to be the same fellow.

how he had been done for, asked:
