ARRESTED IN PHILADELPHIA
James Howard. Who is Wanted for n
ROhhePy.


A telegram was received last night from
Philadelphia announcing the arrest by De-
tective Helan of James Howard, who is
wanted here charge of grand larceny.
The alleged robbery for which the arrest
was made occurred last Friday at the
home of Mrs. ]. X. Fisher, No. 1907 It'll
street northwest, where she keeps a din
formerly kept a saloon at 1904 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and Jim Howard, as ne is
known by the police, was her bartender
When she gave up the saloon business she
opened this dining room. She had always
been friendly with Howard, and had be-
friended him ON several occasions. Last
Friday he called at her dining room, so 1t
lis alleged, and pleaded poverty to the ex-
tent of Mrs. Fisher once more offering him
assistance.
While she was busy in the dining room
Howard. it is alleged, entered the house
and helped himself to s1Io in gold, $40
till. 4 ring worth 500 and chain.

case the police felt certain they would ap-

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
For several months past, and 1 may
even say nov, there has been a good deal
of talk about Englands policy of grab
bling all the gold she could lay her hands
upon, and boarding it; but more particu-
larly in regard to the s2.W0,DU,0OO of gold
produced by this nation since its formation.
We must not forget facts; first, the Bank
of England has never held over $3.50, 100000,
since its foundation until here very lately.
Second. No nation wants more gold than
enough 10 transact its business; as soon
as nation finds THAI it has more gold
than it neeus for business purposes, it at
once endeaVors to loan the gold.
Third. The demand for gold comes from
the fact that other nations have grown
both in commerce and wealth from the
benefits of being on d gold basis, as gold 10
a more serviceable medium of exchange
between nations than silver.
Therefore, some of the immense output of
gold tand a very large part of iD is taken
up by the competition of nations for it.
Fourth The great nations of the earth
have been enabled to attain gold basis,
and the blessings of prosperity that is the
direct outcome of it, by the increased out
put of gold. And other smaller nations
are striving TO obtain enough gold to go
uIon gold basis: many have nearly OBJ
tanned sufficient gold for that purpose.
Fifth. Tie yearly output of gold in the
world is very large, and is still on the in
crease. The production is 50 per cent
larger this year than the combined out
put of gold and silver in 1873. Therefore,
there is not the slightest truth in the oft
repeated misstatements that dear old Eng
land has "cornered' all the gold. or that
there has not been a sufficient supply of
that metal in past years. and that there
would no: be enough in the future.

Political DISCHARGES,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In yoLr issue of the 9TH instant appear
ed a communication from Mr.. August Do
nath, under the caption No Discharges
Merely for Political Opinions" in which he
protests that such discharges ARE a viola
ton of the spirit of the civil service law"
Possibly Mr.. Donath may be right, but
isn't he Just a little late (about four years.
in entering his protest? Has he so soon
forgotten that quite a large number of ex-
perienced and capable government employees
were discharged shortly after the Cleveland
administration came into power, and a
much larger number reduced and their
places filled by appointments and promo
tons for no other reason than that those
discharged and reduced were republicans
ard those appointed and promoted were
democrats? And if these same employees
who were discharged and reduced should
now desire to secure their old positions,
would ii be unjust for them to do SO?
Would i: be a violation of the spirit of the
civil service law to reinstate them? If a
great wrong has been done, it is certainly
not too late now to remedy 1t.
Among those discharged and reduced
were a large number of ex-Union soldiers,
their widows and orphans, who were sup
posed to be protected by law But the law
WAS To protection in the hands that adj
minstered it. The republican party placed
that law on the statute books and repub-

of the civil service regulations SO as to
permit the reinstatement of veterans who
had been discharged, and now that that
party and the President elected by it are
