vsndais Have Clipped His Memorial In
Westminster Abbey.
Near the center Of the south wall of
the nave is monument to Major Andre
of Revolutionary note The very long
inscription upon it begins, "Sacred to
the memory Of Major John Andre, who,
raised by his merit, at an early period
Of life, to the rank of adjutant general
Of the British forces in America, and
employed in an important but hazardous
enterprise, fell sacrifice TO his zeal for
his king and country, on the I'd Of Oc-
tober, 1880, aged 30, universally beloved
and esteemed by the army in which he
served and lamented even by his foes
About the base Of the monument,
which is panel set against the wall,
are several small figures. III ese project
from the panel, and represent the presen-
tation of Major Andres letter to Gen
efal Washington on the night before his
execution. The ease with which the
heads of these figures could be broken
off has been too great a temptation to
relic hunters. and most of the heads
have been knocked off and stolen. That
such vandalism is not wholly modern is
shows from the fact that Charles Lamb
writes of the defacing of this very mon
ument in this way in his Essays Of
Ella" Southey, the poet, when boy,
was a pupil at the Westminster school.
Later in life he was exceedingly sensi-
tive in regard to his political princi-
pies, and for time serious quarrel
existed between himself and Lamb, be-
cause the latter. speaking in regard to
this injury to Andres monument, de-
scribed 1t as the "wanton mischief Of
some schoolboy, fred perhaps with
raw notions of transatlantic freedom. {"
Then, addressing Southey, he added,
1.-The mischief was done about the time
that you were q scholar there. Do you
know anything about the unfortunate
relic?''
There is now fastened upon the wall
of the nave, above the monument, a
wreath Of oal- leaves which Dean Stan
ley, when he visited America, gathered
near the spot ON the bank Of the Hudson
river where Andre was executed. AL
though Andre died in 1880, It was not
until 1921 that, at the request of the
Duke of York, his bones were exhumed
and taken to England to be buried in
the abbey. The box in which they were
placed for the voyage is still preserved
in the oratory over St. Islip's chapel.

The Case OF " heat and its Price.

Chicago, October 27.-Iu an article
on the demand for wheat and the sup
ply of that cereal the Daily Telegraph
says: 1.-The stock of foreign wheat at
the principal British ports, it is said,
would not suffice to feed the country for
fortnight. The slight fall in American
exchanges on Saturday gave the English
markets a downward tendency, but it is
the opinion of one of the best known
corn factors in Market Lane that Amer
ican wheat will steadily rise with bang,
and that Christmas prices will be much
further enhanced. During the recent
excitement speculation in England and
America was carried beyond reasonable
bounds, but in the market the opinion
is positive that at least portion of the
rise will be rvtained and the era of low
prices is for the time being ended"
The EUesliag Standard says: The ten
dency in wheat IS for higher prices, add
ing: "The failure in Indiana will di-
vert California and Australian wheat
from Europe there. Only the tremend=
Gus effort in the United States to hurry
wheat across the Atlantic in exchange
for gold prevented a much greater in
crease in prices, and when the thrush is
past there will be further rise"

Women Thwart an Escape

Williamsport, Pa, October 25.-A
bold attempt to liberate the four Roar
ing Branch safe dynamiters, who were
arrested in the mountains near Morris,
was made by two woodsmen at the ho-
tel at Morris yesterday. Had it not
been for the bravery of two women
cooks at the hotel the prisoners would
have gotten away.
When taken into the dining room at
noon yesterday Constable Hart removed
the handouts from the prisoners. A
woodsman in the plot to liberate the
men called Constable Hart to the door.
Just then his confederate threw open a
rear door and yelled: "Here boys is
your chance to skip" The four prison
ers arose but the next instant the two
women cooks slammed the door shut
and locked it until the men were re-
shackled. From the amount of dyna
mi tie powder and other explosive para
phernalia found on the men when ar
rested it is believed that they are of the
gang which has been burglariziDg depots
In northering Pennsylvania and south
ern New York for three weeks past
The prisoners are now in Jail here.

On Tuesday next the battle is 20 be
fought out to the end between the toiler
and the idler; between work and wealth; /;
between the people and the plutocracy;
between the millions and the million

Under the peoples banner will stand
the honest labor elements of every part
of the Union, and the true American
citizens, native and naturalized, who de
sire to see free government perpetuated,
the country prosperous, and the people
happy. To the golden standard of plu
tocracy Will flock the representatives of
greed and gain, the banks, the corpora
tions, the trusts, the emasculated mill
ionaires, who. like the enfeebled aristoc-
racy of the Roman republic, are a threat
To the virility Of the nation. To these
will be added the Hessians who fight for
pay, and the towards who cringe before

THE attention Of the Democratic voters
IN each county and representative dis
trict is called 70 the representation that
they may be entitled to at the next
state convention.
The representation in Democratic state
convention shall consist of representa-
tive delegates, one for each one thou
sand such votes cast at the presidential
election, or fraction of one thousand
such votes, amounting to FIVE hundred
or more in the representative districts OF
the state, provided that each representa-
tive district shall have at least one dele
gate.
1t is hoped that the Democratic voters
will keep this fact in view and endeavor
to have the largest vote possible polled,
so that their county and district may
have full representation at the next state
convention.
The necessity of paying strict atten-
ton to this important duty will be read
lily observed by all good Democrats.
Each county should take pride in see
ing to it that the presentation is sus-
tanned or increased.

Sandbagged the Proprietor.

Giardville, Pa, October 26 Early
Sunday morning burglars broke into the
Rappahanrock hotel and sandbagged the
proprietor, Anthony Monaghan and his
wife. They then forced their way into
the bar-room and commenced to crack
the fate. Mr.. Monaghan and wife re-
covered and rushed into the bar-room to
fight the masked burglars off, if posi-
bic, as the safe contained $1,000 in
bonds and other valuable papers.
The burglars turned on them and beat
both in shocking manner. Thinking
they were dead they cast both their bod
les into another room and locked it, af-
ter which they blew open the safe and
took the contents. They spread a feast
in the kitchen and uncorked several bot
ties from the bar, after which they loot
ed the barroom, taking almost every
thing in it. Mr.. and Mrs. Monaghan
are in a serious condition to-day and
may not recover. The burglars made
good their escape. There is no clue to
tt eir identity.

elections have been bought in this
country" said he, "'but the danger of
this election being purchased is slight
There is danger of course in the great
cities, where money may bespent to ad-
vantage, but the sentiment in this coun-
try in faver of free coinage is such that
it will result in the election of Bryan by
hitherto unprecedented majority.
Maryland is sure to give Bryan a good
solid vote and more than enough of the
so called doubtful states of the middle
west will be carried to give Mr.. Bryan
the needed majority in the electoral col
lege." Senator German has before this
predicted success in Maryland, but up to
this time he has been mute so far as the
general result is concerned. His be-
lief that the country will cast Democrat
ic votes enough to elect Mr. Bryan is the
result of careful study of conditions
about which he has become very famil-
lar during his political career.

THE issue of 262 millions of bonds In
time of peace illustrates another serious
evil of the present monetary system.
The necessity the government is undei
of redeeming greenbacks in gold upon
demand enables scheming men To draw
large amounts of gold from the treasury
and then say to the government, our
reserve is getting low; you mast have
gold or you viii. be in danger of failure
t1 keep your promise in respect to spe-
Gle payments-issue bonds and get tie
onld hack again" So the Schemers get
bonds for their gold, sell the bond at a
premium, take the greenbacks they get
for the bonds and draw the gold out of
the treasury again, till the government
i frightened into a new issue of bonds,
and so on in an endless chain. with a
premium profit foI Wall street on every
issue of bonds, and nothing but accu-
| mulating debt for the nation. When
bonds are issued in time of war the gov
| ernment gets a substantial equivalent,
/
| hut these millions of bonds that are Is
sued to keep up the gold reserve have
secured to the people nothing at all of
any real worth to them. The specula-
tors rendered no service to the govern
ment-they simply drew out gold in or
der to speculate on the bonds that would
he sliced to get it back. The govern
ment might start with thirty millions o.
gold in the treasury, and through the
repetition of the above process, issue
billion of bonds, and at the end be jus
where it started, with thirty millions o
gold in the treasury, and not a thing tt
show for the billion of debt that tn

little advantage to any one except tn

REPUBLICANS appear to be making a
good deal of capital out of some manu-
featuring concerns paying their hands
in gold once in q while. This should
not carry much weight with workmen
since gold is the standard of this coun
try and they have as much right to re-
csive gold as any other kind of money.
The laborer works harder to earn his
wages than any other class of men and
he should therefore be paid in the very
best money we have. We fail to see
where the gold standard advocates
make any converts by paying their men
in gold since it is the standard money
of this country.

The organs of Hanna have good
deal to say about Reputation, and
yet they are themselves carrying on the
most remarkable campaign of repudia-
ton on record. Under the inspiration
of Hanna the Republicans have repu-
dated their platform of 1892, the gold
trust editors have repudiated their re-
cords, and the gold Democrats, so called
have repudiated their principles. Take
the case of Mckinley, the candidate Sc
lected by Hanna to carry out the pro-
gramme of the money power. Hardly
a day has passed since his nomination
that he has not gleefully repudiated his
own record on the silver question.

creed into voting against the working
mans candidate, so that additional
pressure may be brought to bear upon
them, probably a threat of discharge
Democratic Chairman Jones has, how
ever. promptly taken steps to defeat
Hanna's purpose. He has issued no
tice to all Democrats to display flags
the same day in honor of Bryan and
Sewall. So the display of flags will be
general and nobody will be able to guess
how the fellow who displays the flag in
tends to vote. Jones is a brick. The
workingmen are under obligations to
him for this shrewd move.
