WHEN ELECTORS MEET.

A very timely question has been asked
us by one of the Bryan electors of this
State, namely, on what day should the
electors meet? The doubt, of course,
arose from the confusion created by the
difference of dates prescribed respectively
by the New State Election law and the
Act Of Congress on the subject.
The day prescribed by the State law,
section 81, is the first Wednesday in De
cember. That prescribed by Act Of Con
gress is the second Monday in January.
The Act of Congress is controlling, as
is settled in the case of McPher-
son VS.. BROKER, 146 u. s..
Reports, page 80. The case is an
interesting one and covers exactly the
point at issue here, where there is a
difference in time between the State
law and the United States Statute. In
the opinion, while the electors are ac-
counted State officers in the same sense,
IN fact. as members Of the LegisIaTure.
vet Tie jurisdiction IS given TO Congress
as to the time Of meeting.
Therefore, we do not see that there
is any doubt about the fact that the
second Monday in January is the day
on which the electors are legally required
10 meet.
Touching the remarks made here by Or.
Curry before the Shaw University of
colored students, the Richmond Dispatch
has this to say; ''Dr. j. J.. nj Curry is
remarkably clear-headed man, and in
no respect more SO than as regards the
United States flag over purely State
sehssls, AID tke matteT Of the suffrage"

NOT PROOF AGAINST THE BURG
LARS OPERATIONS.
The Postofice at osnaburg Broken
Into, the Safe Carted Away and
Broken Open, and $14o In
Stamps Taken by Burglars.

Stamps Taken by Burglars.
The village blacksmith, at osnabure,
some years ago, constructed safe for the
postoffice of the village. 1t was rudely
made, being covered with sheet iron
within and without, and bolted together
with great chunks of iron that might
have been used as joist on modern bull
ding, had they been long enough. Uncle
Sans possessions in osnsburg were kept
in the safe. Jacob Liebtag is the post
master, and he is blind. He has been
keeping the money from the sale of
stamps with him, but has always de-
pended upon the safe to hold the stamps
secure, and 1t has also been used as a
depository for money.
Thursday night the postmaster locked
the stamps in the safe and went home.
Friday morning he was rudely awakened
by man who told him that his safe was
living by the roadside about half mile
from the village, and that its contents
had been taken. Burglars had entered
the postoffice at rear window and had
opened the front door and carried the safe
out bodily. A wagon was stolen from a
neighbor, and the men loaded the safe
on the wagon and pushed it out of town,
where 1t was broken open with q sledge
hammer. The safe contained lao worth
Of stamps, which were taken. There is
no clue.
Deputy County Clerk Bliss resides in
Osnaburg, and he caused the place in the
vicinity Of where the safe was found, to be
left alone until the blood-hounds could
be secured from the workhouse and put
on the trail of the burglars He tele.
graphed to Superintendent Pontius, but
the message went by way of Cleveland,
and didn't get to Mr.. Pontius until the
dogs had been taken out with the work
house prisoners, on the roads. In the
meantime, rain had fallen, and the scent
was likely to have been destroyed, so the
dogs would have been of little value in the
hunt for the burglars. For that reason
they we're not sent.
An earnest effort is being made to gel
trcck of the fellows, and 1t is believed
that they do not reside far from the vii

Are American "oitizens" so Ignorant"
they cannot see tbisS And that Is just
what they do see and understand "The
wayfaring man, though fool, need not
err therein" The "vicious teaching" is
10 trying to deceive and get our people to
submit to the British gold standard and
reconcile them to this moneyed despotism
We take the liberty of rronounoing the
above charges as slander upon the
American people. All they ask is fair
chance. Farmers and laboring men seek
no special privileges from government;
but the outlook now is that they are re-
solved to vote against the gold standard,
monopoly, British party. with all due
respect, we submit that he who presumes
to set himself up as a teacher on finance
and declares that the words gold and sill
yer are not used in our constitution,
should be careful in talking about what
Ignorant citizens believe"
A little modesty also, might be advis-
able in accusing others of "froth" and
spread eagle prophecies. MIR. Hartzell
says:
EVERY ,ter should know all that can
be known of the past history and the
present status of the money problem, and
thus be wisely prepared to make his con-
vlotions felt at the ballot box"
And the American voter should know
somewhat the costitution Of this country,
as It is the Fundamental law, and oonsti-
tutes the government. 1t is this instru-
ment that each official Is required to
swear to support.
Our friend puts the United States down
as "the richest nation In the world, p"
and Great Britain next, and France third.
His comparison is not by population,
and he does not refer to the fact that
France has the most money In circula'
tion according to population and as much
silver as all the rest of Europe. Mr.. Hart
zell does not refer to the startling fact
that under Republican gold and protec
tion rule our wealth has been concen
trating into few hands, and as oonse
quence poverty and pauperism have beer
