Governor AItgeId's Gold Clause.


Public attention has lately been called,
in what Governor Altgeld must regard as a
very inconsiderate way, to the fact that
he insists upon gold clause in the leases
of all offices in the Unity Building. This
building is owned by stock company
of which Governor Altgeld is the presi-
dent and chief stakeholder. His private
secretary has recently tried to explain the
matter in a letter addressed to too in
quisitive correspondent The defence is,
first, that the Governor does not personal
ly attend to the making of leases; second,
that the leases used are executed upon Il
blank form regularly sold by stationers in
Chicago; third, that the Governor has
probably never read the form from begin
ming to end; and fourth, that the build
ing was erected with borrowed money! for
which bonds We're issued, and that the
wicked capitalists who bought them in
sisted that rents should be secured by a
gold clause. And now, when Altgeld,
the champion of ''stricken silver, is
forced to these logical shifts in eXplana-
ton of his hard money leases, Altgeld,
the friend of the laborng- man, is made
the subject of flank attack from the
painters employed at the kankakee In
sane Asylum. They claim that they have
been forced to work ten hours day at
the rate of twenty cents per hour, while
the State law provides for an eight hour
day, and the union scale of wages for
painters is thirty-two and One-half cents
per hour. This complaint was drawn up
in the shape of letter to the Governor,
but its only result seems to have been
that the men who signed it were ''laid
off, on the plea that ''the painting fund
was exhausted,' while insult was added
to injury by setting some of the insane
patients to do the work. A few more ex-
plantations seem now to be in order.

DR.. MacArthur's Political Views.
The Baptist Preacher Is Attracting General Atten-
lion by His Utterances.
T From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
The Rev. Robert S. Macarthur, of the
Calvary Baptist Church, is calling to him
self wide attention by the series Of Sun
day sermons that he is now delivering on
morals in politics. What he has said in
relation to the religious side of the present
campaign has been quoted throug hout the
length of the land. and he is in receipt of
all sorts of letters from every section,
ranging in sentiment from the highest
eulogy to threats that he will be silenced
by force if he does not voluntarily cease
his political preaching.
II am glad when what | believe to be
righteous receives approval, and l care
nothing for idle threats from anonymous
sources" said the Doctor when met him
in his cosey study in the beautiful church
in Fifty seventh street over which he
presides. II have undertaken these ser
mons on the moral element that enters
our politics from patriotic motive.
Though l am an adopted citizen of the
Republic, love her institutions, and can
not help raising my voice against any at
tempt to lower her dignity or bring dis
grace upon her. Last year, in my trip
around the world, carried the silk flag
of our country which was presented to
me, and always displayed it in my room.
| cannot see that flag disgraced by even
suggestion of reputation, by lowering
the standard of our currency, without
most emphatic protest.
HIS PLACE AT HOME.
''My summer plans, laid long ago, in
cluded short trip abroard, and had in
tended to sail last Wednesday, but when
l read the Chicago platform l felt my
place was at home, to work patriotically
and religiously for national honor. Cow
ardice may have influenced me, for, to
tell the exact truth, was ashamed to go
abroad at this time and be continually
called upon to apologize for my country
After the next election, and when another
summer comes, can make the tour with
high head, and unfurl my flag with a
feeling of patriotic pride.
Il tell you, it is important at this time
that every patriotic American should lift
up his voice in favor of honor and honesty
of the American public. The nation is
on trial before the world. The question
is, shall we be regulators or keep our
financial obligations? If l can deepen
the feeling of patriotism | should do so.
propose to try to the best OF my abll-
ity.'
Dr. Macarthur is quite firmly believer
in the motto that if you are wrong you
can't be too conservative. and if you are
right you can be too radical. His very
conspicuous record during the more than
quarter Of century he has been in
charge of Calvary Baptist Church shows
this fact. And he is man who always
believes he is right and speaks and acts on
his convictions.
He created quite stir in city political
circles when he made an attack on Tam
many for the gross announcement Of the
public schools. About the same time he
openly denounced the flying of the Irish
flag from the City Hall and attacked
Mayor Grace for his enforcement of
the Sunday laws.
