president; A. Ellis, of the Panhandle: NJ
E. CASTOR, Of the Big Four at Rushville,
and w s.. Parkhurst, of the Midland, were
elected vice presidents and Charles E.
Manville, one of the best-known conductors
on the Big Four, was elected secretary and
city, made the address of the evening. 1t
was especially prepared for railway men.
Among other things he said:
The number of men given employment
on the railways in 1893, over 1892. was
$3.50. There was a gradual increase from
year to year during Harrison's adnlinistra-
ton. From 1888 to 1894, the first year of
the present administration, there was a
decrease of 1894 men, From 1873 to 1892
years between the great crime and the
advent of Democracy to power there was
an increase of mileage of 104, 431 miles, or
an average of 1886 miles per year In 1894
and 1895 the. two first years of Democratic
administration, the increase has been but
2,420 miles per year. or decrease of 3,046
miles The income of the railroads in 1892
was $1,2o49 15; in 1894. s., 0s9, 305, obs, a de-
crease of $115 600. 900. The debts of railway
companies in this country aggregate S. 000,-
100000. This and the interest must be paid
in gold. The prices a company can charge
are fixed, and if the money it receives in
the future is only worth half as much
as it is worth now the gross income will
only be half much The debts and in
terest must be paid in good money and it
will necessarily remain for the companies
to cut the wages laboring men or quit
business. When it is remembered that the
annual wages amount to $400. 600 000. this
means the distress of no small portion of
the peOnle.''

Case of Kleptomanfa.

LONDON, Oct. S.-The United States en-
bassy here has, on the instructions of Sec
rotary Olney asked that the British Home
Office intervene in the case of Walter
Michael Castle of Castle Brothers. the
Well-known shipping merchants, of San
Francisco and his wife and son. the latter
ten years of age, who were arrested on
Tuesday at the Hotel Cecil, on the charge
of stealing several sable and chinchila
skins from London furriers. The affair is
now causing the greatest interest at the
embassy and among the American mer-
chants in London. in addition to Secretary
Olneys dispatches cable messages have
been received at. the embassy yesterday
evening and to-day from Governor Budd Of
California; the Mayor of San Francisco;
Oscar Strauss. of New York; the London
managers of the Bank of British Columbia,
and the Bank of British North America !;
Lord Rothschild, the president of the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce, and
many others.
In addition to the many messages of SYM
pathy and offers of assistance, a number
of personal visits have been paid to the
United States embassy and consulate in be-
half of Mr.. and Mrs. Castle, among the
callers being Lord Rothschild. In every
case the visitors have vouched in the high
est terms for Mr.. Castles personal in
tegrity and financial status. Friends of the
prisoners say at the worst it is a case of
kleptomania and it is reported that a spe-
cialist will examine Mrs. Castle immedi-

WHO WOULD SUFFER MOST:
Financial Condition That Hurts the
Rich Is Worse for the Poor.
Harper's Weekly.

Harper > WSekly-
There have been countries where the rich
have been comfortable and the poor
wretched. France had come to be such a
country when the revolution broke out
there a little more than q century ago.
There have also been countries where there
was nearly enough of the comforts of life
to go around, and where the great major
ity of the population found the material in
gradients of human happiness within their
reach. The United States has been such a
country most of the time since it has be-
came n nation, and if it is not quite such
a country to-day, it expects to be so once
more the effects of temporary
follies and errors have passed away.
What has never been known on earth is
a country where the poor are comfortable
and happy while the rich are wretched.
There is no record in history of such a
land as that. Religion can conceive of it;
indeed there are a good many people who
have a lively expectation of reaching some
such place some time, but It will not be
on this earth or in this life. The rule here
is that where there is suffering which is
due 10 the lack of material commodities
or to unfavorable material conditions, tho
poor get a deal the worst of it.
There is a sentiment, which is more or
less prevalent in this country this year,
and which is being carefully cultivated by
some dishonest politicians, that the de-
rangement of business and the collapse of
credit which would follow the triumph of
tn the tb frees1ger party would help the poor
rich. If it did it would do what is contrary
to all human experience. It would undoubt-
edly do permanent harm to many well-to-do
people, whose holdings would be wrested
from them by the exigencies of panic but
in the end the people who would suffer
most would be the poor who would feel
the effects of bad times first and longest.
and the people who would profit most would
be shrewd rich men with ready money to
buy very cheap. property which their poor
err brethren could not hold. The men who
profit by a wreck are the men who can
drag in the wreckage. The men-outside OF
the. silver mine oSners-who would even
tually profit most by silver coinage are
rich men, most of whom are fighting silver
coinage with all their might. TIE men who
would suffer most from it are the wage
earners-the men whom Debs and AltcreId
and Bryan himself are trying to array
against honest monev.

Although the time prescribed by law for

weeks distant, it is not too early to remind
the Democratic voters of this county of
the Importance of attending to this duty,
II they wish to cast their votes at the com
Ing election. At the last session of the Leg
lslature new registration law was enact
ed, which requires every voter in the State
to get newly registered and no man can
vote this year who does not get his name
on the registration books again All of
the old registration books have been wiped
out of existence. Every vote not put on
the registration books this year is lost
There are only seven days set apart, under
the new law, in which the thousands o
voters of the county are to be registered
These days are as follows:
Tuesday, September ID.

Wednesday, October :.
The local managers in every district in
the county should apprise the voters of the
necessity of getting their names on the
books. 1t will take good work to get the
three thousand or more Democratic votes
registered, and it is well to keep the mat
ter before the people, even this far ahead
of the time for the sittings of the officers
of registration.

TO Our Readers.

We will begin next week the publica-
ton of extracts from very rare book,
entitled THE Subaltern in America" being
a graphic and interesting description of
the landing of the British Army at
Benedict on the Patuxent river in the
month of August, 1914, and of their march
through this county. The author of the
work is George Robert Gleig, who was
young lieutenant, at that time, but who
afterwards entered the ministry and be
came Chaplain General of the British
forces which position he retained until
within il few years of his death which oc-
cured in 1888 He was well-known as a
theological. historical and Biographical
writer, and the style of The Subaltern in
America" is racy and captivating. There
are vivid descriptions of localities well
known to our people, and a pen picture of
these "old familiar scenes" as they ap-
peired to the young British officer 80
years ago, ought to prove interesting read
