Pall Mall Gazette.
In the little eXcitements of little
things we are not apt to forget the
prodigious revolution brewing in Cen
trail America. We do not refer to the
annual fixtures in the republics Of
that part of the world, but to the
Nicaragua canal, of whose impending
existence Mr.. Colquhoun reminded the
London Chamber of Commerce. When
this work is done, as it must be before
we get well into the twentieth CEN
fury, it will go far to complete the
process of equalizing the balance of
the world between the Atlantic and
the Pacific.
The rise of California, of Australia,
and now of Japan have prepared the
way; the canal, with the inevitable
development of China, Eastern Siberia
and the South Seas, will complete the
work. The chief gamer, as Mr.. Col
quhoun said, will be America-Amer-
lea, that is, minus the transcontinent-
al railways.
The canal will cheaper transport
between the Pacific coast and New
England, as well as opening to the lat
ter the hitherto inaccessible markets
of the Pacific, Australia and the Far
East.
Without doubt it will equip a heavy
competitor of our trade, though Aus
tralia, and possibly Hongkong might
reap a compensating benefit. The
moral of Mr.. Colquhoun's paper for us
is that we ensure our position in the
Pacific before it is too late.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Oct. 8. - The
filing of the $2527 attachment by Green,
Joyce & Co, of Columbus. O., yesterday
against Edward w. Eakn. of Montpelier,
has unearthed fraudulent business transac-
tions that have caused the arrest of John
]. Tuomey, a promoter of wide reputation
in this section of the State, and who now
holds a franchise for d gas plant at Mont
pelier His arrest was great surprise,
both in this city, where he is well known,
and at Montpelier. Tuomey was arrested
for alleged fraud and conspiracy, and the
affidavits were sworn out by Eakin's cred
itors 1t is alleged Tuomey and Eakin en-
tered into a scheme to establish store
at Montpelier. Tuomey was to furnish
capital and Eakin was to become heir to a
fortune. This was widely adver tised, and
it was also announced that Eakin had dis
posed of forty zoo acres to OF znc-ore iana aii
Eakin deposited $4,000 in Montpelier
bank which, it is alleged Tuomey fur
nished, and the certificate was signed over
to Tuomey soon as it was issued to
Eakin and the payment on it to Eakin
was stopped. Tuomey claims it was trust
money and could not be held by the cred
itors, who have garn1sheed It. On IueS-
day, Green, Joyce d Co. attached the stock
and secured a mortgage to cover their
claim and took possession, putting BenJa-
min F. Johnson, of Montpelier, IN charge
Replevin suits were filed to-day with the
county clerk here by numerous creditors
over $1,000 worth of goods had been Sc
cured on credit and were to have been paid
for next December. Up TO the tune the
mortgage was given Eakin was advertising
his stock at prices way below cost, ana
his trade was immense 1t Is the be1e1 or
the creditors that the money derived from
the sales was to be stored away and the
goods paid for.

CLEVELAND SHUT OUT
LAST GAME OF THE TEMPLE CUP
SERIES WON BY BALTIMORE.
Good Work by Pitcher Corbett, Who
Struck Out Six Spiders and Al
lowed but Four Hits.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. S.-The final game
of the Temple cup series may well go on
record as hard fought a contest as was
ever played on any diamond, despite the
fact that the score was not close as it
might have been. That Baltimore got 50
much the better of the run-getting was
entirely due to the fact that Corbett was
too much for Cleveland, for in fielding the
game was magnificent on both sides and
honors were even. Cuppy pitched strong
game. but towards the end hits We're
punched on him and Baltimore earned the
victory well. Up to the seventh inning,
hits were scarce and scattered, but then a
two-bagger followed by single and Cleve-
Spiders hearts were broken. There was no
quitting, however, and the runs in the
eighth were earned by hard batting. The
game was full of ginger and there was
considerable wrangling, every point being
fought out to a finish Emsie and Sheri-
dan did excellent work, however. only one
decision being questionable that when
Chlds was called out stealing second in>the
fifth.
Corbett not only held the Spiders down to
four singles, but he struck out six men,

POPOCRACY'S MARSEILLAISE
Incendiary Song Rendered in Honor
OF Bryan by Tammany.

The song rendered by the audience which
gathered to hear Bryan in Tammany Hall

song which was sung by the Paris mob at
streets ran with blood.
:, The american An version was written by
and published in Chicago by order of
treasurer ST. John, of the national COM
ern managers of the Popocratic campaign
rejected it as being too open and pro-
tired and as being absurd, because it de-
scribed a condition of affairs which no.
where exists in this country.
They even went so far as to demand Mr.
st. Johns resignation for having allowed
the song to be printed; The national treas
on the subject. He announced that he had
made a mistake in ordering the song hav-
ing been misled in regard TO it's incendiary
character. He said that he intended to pay
for it out of his own pocket and direct it's
suppression.
Apparently Mr. Bryan himself approved
the song. AT any rate, the order counter
manding it was withdrawn and hundreds
of thousands of copies were struck off for
distribution. Several bales of them were
given out to the braves as they assembled
last night.

A CANE WITH A HISTORY
ONE PRESENTED TO BRYAN CAME
FROM A SALOON RATTLE.
Was Made by a Convict I'm the Iowa
Penftentiary Cleveland Club,
Bought 1t of Saloon Keeper.

The feature of the demonstration at Tom
linson Hall, last Tuesday evening, when
William Jennings Bryan. the Popocratic
nominee for President, addressed big
crowd was the presentation to the Boy
Orator of cane made of buffalo horn
President McClells nd of the Cleveland
Club, delivered a very touching address, in
the preparation of which seven lead pencils
had been chewed up, and Mr.. Bryan, in
happily replying, unhinged one of his char
acteristic smiles as wide as it would go.
There was something very beautiful, full
of a symbolic idea, in presenting to this
great chieftain a Gale made OF the horns
of a buffalo that had once roamed the
prairies, of Vigo county, say, before the
animal jumped on the seal of the Hoosier
Commonwealth. Here was cane with his
toric memories even antedating the felici-
tous occasion when it was ratified off at
two bits a chance down at Jim Mortar
ity's saloon on Virginia avenue, the week
before. Yet, 1t had a history even before
the cane took shape from the skillful hand
of a convict out in the Iowa penitentiary.
Some time ago Peter Piscator received
this famous cane from friend out in
Iowa. who told him it had been made by
convict in the pententiary of that State.
Would Peter gee that it was ratified off and
return the proceeds to the convict? Henry
Piscator took it down to Moriaritys sa-
loon, and the obiging Irishman hung it
up for the boys to throw five skies at, and
incidentally TO draw a little bar patronage
when the winner sould be determined. A
certain young man won the cane, and,
having no best girl to admire the strut
that would naturally go with a buffalo cane,
he gave it back to Moriarity The saloon
keeper was ahead one fine cane.
Some of the gold brick brokers of the
Cleveland Club happened in not long after
wards and spying the cane, decided that
Willie Bryan should have it, if there was
money enough in the club TO obtain 1t.
Would Moriarity sell it? Seeing it was the
hearts, he would just let it go for IS
bill. 1T didn't take more than two days
to raise the entire So in the Cleveland Club
and the cane went into the hands of the
new owners. The state secret-the fact that
it was to be presented to Mr.. Bryan-was
jealousy guarded and the public got the
sensation all at once, right in Tomlinson
Hall at that.
Them byes are rig'lar divils; yes they
be- said Moriarity when he read in the
Sentinel the next morning how successful
the presentation had been. Then he turned
the IS bin over in his pocket and saw that
it was still good, sound-money document

Nor strive to plant sedition's flag where glory s

You shall not your lettering fame where

You shall not rout her worshipers by stealth

OLD NIILLED DOLLARS.
Curious Stipulation in Some Old
Time Deeds and Leases.

PnliaQelpnld inquirer
Real estate owners of a century ago in
renting ground in the old city proper stip-
ulated in the deeds that the rental should
be paid in Spanish milled dollars, and in
doing left their ancestors a heritage
that has caused many bankers of the pres
ent day to tear their hair in agony, and
at the same time left sound-money ar8u-
ment that is as hard to surmount as it is
vexatous to those who collect those rents
to-day.
At the beginning of the present century
the Spanish miled dollar was the stand
ard of exchange here. 1t contained seven
teen pennyweights and six grains of fine
silver, one and half grains more than
the present dollar. 1t was also stipulated
in many instances that if the rented ground
was not purchased in seven years it could
only be secured at the option of the owner.
In hundreds of instances at the end of the
seven years no final transaction had been
entered into. Later on deeds We're eX-
ecuted that the rents We're payable in
hibiting the contracting Of irredeemable
rents.

managed to scrape sufficient number of
about 50 cents each, to pay the rentals at a
loss of 20 per cent. 10 the property holders
who have been handed the land from gem

There was absolutely no remedy for this
predcament The occupants of the ground
were simply fulfilling the letter of the con-
tracts that had been imposed upon them
SO a number of the trust companies have
determined upon putting an end to the cir
culation of Spanish milled dollars in what
ever way they can. When these coins are
paid in for rentals 1t is proposed to have
them smeted and sold for their bullion
value. Deeds for rentals of this sort are
held by all or nearly all the trust com
panies in town.

simply served to consolidate and intensity
the opposition of Intelligent and patriotic

desperate reliance upon the dangerous

seeks rather to provoke and stimulate blind
