acter were the result partly of innate
evil and partly of circumstances. He
had received an excellent education and
had graduated from the New York Med
ical school in good standing. Up to that
time, beyond tendency to loose com
pany and irregular habits, he had devel-
oped no noticeably bad tendencies. The
chances were that he would outgrow. his
youthful follies and become a useful
member of society.
Almost Immediately upon his gradua-
ton, however, his destiny took sinister
turn. At parting supper with his COM
rades he got into quarrel with one Of
them, ending in scufle in which blows
were exchanged. The quarrel was
patched up and the two antagonists
shook hands and drank together, but
Horace secretly bore gr,1dge and was
determined to s'get even" At the end
of the evening. his Late antagonist being
somewhat the worse for liquor, Horace
volunteered to see him home. They
walked off together, Horace revolving In
his mind the scheme of some practical
joke.
That night Horaee's companion was
found insensibleon his doorstep with the
mark of blow from slungshot behind
his ear. He never entirely recovered
consciousness, and died the next day
after uttering the name OF Horace Dupee.
Horace was arrested ON charge Of
murder, and in default of bail was
thrown into prison. After long series
of delays extending over Q year. he was
brought to trial and acquitted The evi-
dence, though amounting to strong
probability. was not conclusive, and the
Jury gave him the benefit OF the doubt.
He went forth nominaliy a free man. hat
his social and professional career were
blasted ere they had fairly begun. The
shadow of the mark of Cain, If not the
mark itself, was upon him.
He might have changed bis name and
and achieved success in another country.
But half from sulien obstinacy, half
from Lack Of business energy, he did not
do this. Instead. he drifted into bad 30
ciety and soon found himself in harmony
with it The class OF society in which he
had formerly moved ceased to know him
The police began to take an interest in
him, but he was shrewd and cautious
enough to avoid falling into their hands

was committed has not been revealed
yet How is it?"
The answer to this question led to a
long conversation, in the course of which
Percy learned all that had happened dur
ing his absence, including Pauline's mar
rage. The search for the thief for whose
crime he had suffered had as yet met with
no success, but it was still being carried
on. After discussing the matter, it was
decided that Percy's presence in the city
should, for the moment, be kept secret
from every one, even from his mother
and Judge Ketelle. He should conceal
himself in lodgings in the upper part of
the town, where Pauline could visit him
from time to time, and report the pro-
gress of affairs, and learn, if possible,
from Inspector Byrnes, what we're the
object and result of the English agent
Clifton's mission to New York. There
might be difficulties in the way but the
brother and sister were young and be-
lieved that the longest lane has turn

TWAS late when Pauline drove up to
the door of her house, and, aighting,
walked up the steps of the porch. Her
mind was full of her brother, and she did
not notice the tall man with the black
mustache who stood on the corner of the
street tapping his boot with his cane.

POLITICAL COURTESY.

1t is reported that certain local Demo-
Gratis are indignant because of what thew
call the discourtesy shown Bryan in the
failure of citizens, irrespective of party. to
decorate their buildings and places of
business along the line of parade. There
is no good ground for such Indignation
1t is true that there was but little decor
alton. but this was indicative of indiffcr-
ence to the candidate rather than of in
territorial discourtesy. 1t is not customary
for the members of one party to hang out
their banners in honor of the candidate of
their opponents, and so far the Journal
is concerned, there is no code of political
manners requiring them to do SO. Certain
ly there is no obligation of that sort when
the candidate is a whose celebrity
grows entirely out of his nomination, and
who has no separate personal claim to dis
tincton. 1t is barely possible that a few
Democrats may have put flags at their
doors when Mr.. Blaine visited Indianapolis
a nominee of the Republican party >but
if they did so it was because of their recog-
milton of and admiration for him a great
statesman, and not from courtesy to the
Republicans When General Harrison was
a candidate some of his Democratic neigh
bers, out of personal friendship, decorated
in his honor. When the visitor has been
elected to the presidency it becomes a diff
ferent affair. He is then the President of
the people, not the representative of
party, and as such is to be greeted with
every mark of Difference by all citizens.
This has been done on those rare occasions
in Indianapolis. Mr.. Hayes was re-
ceived. Mr.. Cleveland was given every at
tention by members of all parties, and MIR.
Harrison was treated with added respect
because of the dignity of his office. If Mr..
Bryan should be elected-which the fates
forbid land should pass this way again,
flags would be hung along his path, and
there would be a gala appearance that was
wholly wanting yesterday. He would low
err the standard of a position which has
never been held by so shallow-brained and
undgnified a man, but the respect which
clings to it from tradition would insure
him q generous reception. Meanwhile, as q
mere candidate, he will have to accept the
welcome people are willing to accord him.
and if that is expressed by even Demo-
cratic indifference and the cold stares of
the curious it is all he has right to ex-
pect.

banks which reported was 2.s15,s3s, with
individual deposits aggregating 1855. oS7, 1873.
On the 18th of July the number of deposit
tors had increased to 2435.525 and the de-
posits to 81, 66S, 413 sos. This does not indi-
cate that we are nation of paupers, but
this is not all. The number of depositors
in the banks which reported other than
national, that is in savings, State and pri-
vate banks, was 3,614 $50, with deposits ag-
gregating sl,66S, 352.673 But as much less
than half of the State, savings and private
banks reported, even these enormous fig
ures fall far short of the truth. In 1894 an
investigation showed the total number of
bank depositors to be about 100000 AS the
number of depositors at present in national
banks shows an increase of about 100000
over 1894, the Controller estimates the total
number of depositors at present in banks
of all kinds al between ten and eleven mil
lions, and the total deposits over $1,000, 000.-
900. Probably no other country in the world
could make such a showing of popular
wealth. Fer it must be remembered that
these five billions of dollars are individual
deposits. They belong to the people and
are payable to the depositors on demand.
The banks debtors to this amount and
the people are creditors. OF course, some
depositors carry much larger accounts than
others, but the fact remains that there are
more than tea million depositors. Yet the
Populist candidate for President says we
have become a nation of paupers.
Another feature of Mr.. Bryan's speeches
are his attacks on confidence. He ridicules
the idea that confidence has anything to
do with business or prosperity. He talks
iippantly about confidence men, as if all
who believed that confidence is an essen
tial factor in business were rascals. Now
confidence is merely another name for
credit, and every intelligent man knows
that credit is the cornerstone of business
Most business men would rather lose their
money than their credit. Now, the state
ment of the Controller shows that bn July
l the total clearings in sixty-six of the
seventy-eght clearing house associations
of the country amounted to 1927, 935, 464. This
repre- ented the business transactions of
one day. The balance of these total clear
ings, settled in cash or cash exchanges, was
only $40, 1884, or but little more than per
cent. of the whole. That means that so per
cent. of the whole amount We're settled by
exchanges of credits, in other words, on
basis of mutual confidence among banks
and business men. That is the rule every
business day of the year, more than so per
cent. of the business of the country being
conducted by the of credit Instruments
or, they might be called, confidence in
struments. Yet Mr.. Bryan ridicules the
idea of confidence being necessary to pros
perty. Is it to be wondered at that in
teligent business men refuse to support a
man who breaches such doctrines?

AS a result of careful inquiry made dur
ing the last ten days the Republican cam
paign managers at Chicago have become
convinced that the sound-monev Democrat
ic movement is much stronger than was at
first supposed, and that it win contribute
very materially to the defeat of Bryan.
The movement is developing unexpected
strength in all directions, but particularly
in the Southern border States and. those
of the central West, some OIL which have
been counted as doubtful. The leaders of
the movement in Missouri say that State
will poll 65 900 votes for Palmer.

THE BRYAN CROWDS.

1t was supposed by nearly every one that
candidate Bryan would draw very large
crowds in this State. Indianians have al
ways mad an especial liking for political
gatherings; in this campaign particularly
the discussion of party questions is of alb
sorbing interest. Moreover. they are fond
of show for it's own sake, and the pros
pect of seeing a presidential candidate of
Bryans peculiar celebrity would, it was
thought, bring out a great number of peo-
pie of all parties. The silverites themselves,
it was assumed, were sufficiently numerous
to insure a large attendance at all his meet
ings. Mr.. Bryan has now passed across
the State four times from east to west and
has spent one day in his tour from south
to north, and the general expectations as
to the crowds have not been fulfilled. The
first trip was soon after the Chicago con-
vention, and the assemblages at the sta
tons in northern Indiana We're such as
would have greeted any presidential cam
didate, doubt. He crossed the southern
half of the State last week. after a tour
in the East, which has caused him TO be
more talked about than any candidate of
recent years, and which, it might natur-
ally be supposed, would increase the popu-
lar interest in him; nevertheless, the
crowds at the stations were small and not
especially enthusiastic. According to
trustworthy accounts the same was true
of the gatherings at his stopping places
between Louisville and this city. Nearly all
of these towns have been Democratic
strongholds, and much was expected of
them. but though in there n ir
turnout there was nowhere the surging
multitude that the candidate was expected
to draw, and there was a lack of the tu-
multuous enthusiasm painfully noticeable
to persons accustomed to the vociferous
character of the Hoosier in politics in other
years. In this city there was what some
one aptly described as a good circus crowd
in point of numbers. But it was not what
was looked for, and the rain of the morn
ing is not enough to account for the abb
sence of the throngs that had been prom
ised. Here, too. was a conspicuous lack of
the noisy demonstrations with which the
known. Republicans were cheerful, but the
silverites seemed to experience chill.
The fact of this comparative indifference
to the candidate arouses a suspicion that
press reports have exaggerated the size of
the crowds which listened to Mr. Bryan in
other States. There was reason to expect
as great, if not a greater, turnout in his
honor here than elsewhere. Perhaps it has
been as great in proportion to the popula-
ton, but if so his following is not of the
formidable character represented, and his
influence and personal magnetism" are i'm
mensely overrated

The statement just issued by Controller
of the Currency Eckels is an excellent IL
lustration of how effectively fallacious ar
guments can be answered by a mere pre-
sentation of facts. The statement gives
the results of an investigation made by
the Controller as to the amounts of money
held by the banks of the country on the
first of July; also the use of credit instru-
ments in daily business affairs, the number
of depositors in the banks and the transac-
tions of the clearing houses of the country
The statement was packed full of figures
without a word OF comment but the facts
and figures did their own talking. 1t is
interesting to note how completely they re-
flute some of the Populist candidates asser-
lions and arguments. A large part of Mr..
Bryan's speeches consists of assertions that
under the gold standard the American peo-
pie have been constantly growing poorer
until they have reached about the lowest
depth of poverty. There are other ways of
demonstrating the falseness of this state
ment but none more conclusive than the
figures presented by the Controller. They
show that on the first of July there were
in the United States 1862 banks. including
national, State, savings and private banks.
This shows that the machinery exists for
a high degree of commercial prosperity,
and if the prosperity is absent there is a
cause for it, Not all of these banks an
swered the Controllers request for informa-
ton but answers were received from 3.45s
national banks. 1.494 State banks. 457 saw
ings banks. 230 private banks and "a loan
and trust companies. The total number
of depositors on July in the national

If Mr.. Bryan's thinking so could alter
facts and revolutionize the laws of trade
and established principles of finance, some
queer things would happen. 81 think he
says, that free coinage would send the
price of silver up to S129 Yet the purchase
by the government of nearly seven tons of
silver day for three years did not pre-
vent the price from steadily declining. Il
do not think he says, that the free coin
age of silver would drive gold out of the
country or out of circulation. Yet the
varying experience of mankind and the
testimony of all financial experts is that it
would. Mr. Bryan thinks redeeming green
backs with silver and paying government
bonds with silver would not injure the ma
tional credit. And SO He might well
say in his plausible way. my friends, 1
think if l am elected President that fire
will cease to burn. and the law of gravita-
ton cease to operate His thinking SO

The wholesale merchants on South Me-
ridian street did not respond to the urgent
appeals of the local free-silyer organ to
decorate in honor of Mr.. Bryan. Why
should they? In the first place, Mr.. Bry
an is not, in any proper sense, states
man of national reputation. He has had no
career, and is not distinguished in civil or
military life. A President of the United
States deserves honor by virtue of his office
if for no other reason, but mere candidate
for President does not deserve honor I'M
less he has earned it. Mr.. Bryan is a po-
litical accident. But more than this he
represents views and principles which
strike at the foundations of public morals,
public credit and the very foundations of
the government The wholesale merchants
of South Meridian street in common with
business men of the country generally, are
almost unanimous in their opposition to
the platform on which Mr. Bryan stands,
and the doctrines he is preaching Why
should they have decorated in honor of a
man whose principles they detest?
