hours passed unheeded, the shadow

of burning. Alas! the cake was black

Woksis sat by the fire eating with his
fingers from the kokh, while his face

she watched him devour the last morsel,
but her wonder was greater when she
saw him deliberately break the earthen

Pertaining a Burglar.

A man named Frank March recently
broke into a doctors house at Gambler
well, England. The doctor happened to
be in, and he at once hurled a bottle
containing peppermint at the intruder.
March, who was seeking money, got
nothing but a cent. It chung to him
when he was taken before the Lambeth
magistrate.
The odor Of the peppermint had been
the clew that led to his arrest. The cir
cumstantial evidence against him Is, lit
orally strong, as the Camberwell doc
tor never dilutes his peppermint.
The housebreaker will set up the de-
Tense that peppermint is pleasing per-
fume and that he cannot, therefore, be
considered in bad odor.-New York

rine Review" The number In some
years has averaged more than one
day, the greatest number OF wrecks re-
corded in one year being 425, and the
smallest 154. About so per cent of
these vessels became total wrecks, all
the crews being lost. In the four years,
1877 to 1881. no less than 700 lives were
lost. It must be noted with regard to
these wrecks, however, that many of
the vessels navigating these seas are
old and ill-found, especially those en-
gagged in the timber trade.

THE BALLOT OWNER.

The eastern tory press has raised a loud. long howl because MT. Bryan at Chicago the other day, speaking to that great multitude of workingmen, used this timely admonition:
 When you come to use your ballot I want you to remember that the ballot was not given to you by any man, who employs you"
 The New York Sun, for instance. asks why Bryan lays stress upon fact which nobody disputes. and then lets loose a series of epithetical shrieks. w
 MT. Bryan has more than met the ex- pectations of his partial admirers by the manner in which he has handled the money question; but he has gained in ssill greater degree among the masses of the people by his righteous exaltatlon of the sphere of the worktngman with his sacred right of suffrage.
 1his thing of proprietorship of the bal int under present conditions is worthy of Instant consideration. It is no joke that the employer is easy to find who regards hlS employees ballot as an essential part of the laborer's hire; that he is not worthy of his hire unless his ballot goes with the job.
 Th.s election year will go far to prove whether this is'a government of the trusts or government of the people. If the latter win they will find way Of law to reach the rascals who would rob the

Fearful Arraignment by the Ex-Chairman
 of the Peoples Party.
 A special to the Constitution from Gadsden says:
 A prominent member of the populist party, and recently candidate for con- gress before the Seventh district conven- tion, is in receipt of a personal letter from Taubeneck, ex-chairman of the peoples party national committee, in which the latter goes for MT. M w. Howard, the late nominee of the populist convention at Birmingham, Ala, for congress, with out gloves. He is mercless in his denun- citation of Howard, saying that he is disgrace to his party, being thoroughly incompetent and wholly inefficient in full filling the duties of his off1ce spending his time and practically living a Atlantic City, N. J., instead of being in Washing ton and occupying his seat in congress.
 The letter further relates in most en- phatlc language that instead of earning his salary Howard was simply receiving it, as none of his constituents could ever find him fin Washington to transact busi- ness for them; that while living in At lantic City he was perfecting himself in elocution and preparing lecture on 'Macbeth;" that while he was at the pop uIist national convention Towards whole talk was about the money he expected to make on the lecture platform.
 u WluuS up III d SeTleS or strong Sen- tences, in which the writer expresses him. self thus:
 'It would indeed be a calamity for the people, not alone of the populist party, but of the entire district, if Howard is elected, and I advise you in the interest of the cause of the people to do every thing in your power to encompass his de- feat"
 The gentleman who is in possession of the letter from Taubeneck states that while at the populist convention Taube- neck came to him and told him that though he had previously meant the let ter to be of a private nature only. since Howard had made such an exhibition of himself in the convention the letter was at the disposal of the receiver to make public as he saw fit. The gentleman states that he understands from good au- thority that Howard had been expecting something of the kind, and has fortified himself with certificates from certain members of congress, in which all his ab- sences were accounted for.
 But" Aaid the holder of the letter, "his record has been hunted up, and the Congressional Record shows that his name was not answered to one-fourth of ths votes taken in the house, and that plenty of evidence will be forthcoming in the campaign to offset whatever docu- ments Howard might obtain from his confreres."
 The campaign will wax hot from now on, and Howard will by no means have walkover, notwithstanding the fact that he was nominated by exclamation. The democrats believe that if they put out the right man this time they can defeat Howard

-------------S c <------------------ LET EVERYBODY CONTRIBUTE.

It Is known of all men that the money power of the country is on the side of Mckinley and against the people in the pending presidential contest. An im- mense corruption fund has been sub serlbed with which it is hoped McKin- 1ey's election can be purchased.
 The democratic party is the party of the people. Nominee Bryan is making the fight for the people. It is clear cut issue of the classes against the masses.
 In great contest like this 1t is ab- soiutely necessary to have some money for campaign purposes.
 There are no bloated bondholders and trust barons on the side of the people to contribute fabulous sums of i'll gotten money to their campaign fund.
 There is no way by which the neces- sary money to defray the legitimate ex- penses of the campaign can be obtained except it be through popular subscrip- ton.
 In recent address to the plain people of the union Chairman Jones of the national democratic executive committee says:
 THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN THE PRESENT CONTEST IS EN- GAGED IN THE DEFENSE OF THE PLAIN PEOPLE AGAINST THE EN- ENGAGEMENTS OF THE FAVORED GLASSES. THIS IS PURELY AN ECONOMIC ISSUE. IN ITS IMPOR- TANCE, HOWEVER. IT OVER SHADOWS EVERY QUESTION WHICH HAS OCCUPIED PUBLIC AT TENTION SINCE THE TRAGIC CAM PAIGN OF 1860.

Is MT. Mckinley opposed to bond issues

 The World claims, and no doubt has,
 great circulation; it has the reputation of being great newspaper, likewise a versatile perverter of facts, especially in its discussion of the financial question. But with all it's points of excellence 1t is 'too fresh" for the times, as is evident from the above interrogations. Of course the World did not expect MT.

JOHN J. INGALLS, ON GOLD.

"No people, in a. great emergency, ever found faithful ally in gold. It is the most cowardly and treacherous of all metals.

 Comptroller Eckels today wired in- structlonS to the receivers to deliver the boxes to all owners who are not indebted to the banks, and to all owners the pa- pers not relating to their transactions with the banks, or which could not be used in settling them. MT. Eckels ex- plained that 1t was not only not the wish of the department to interfere with or embarrass the business men of the city in any way by the management of the receivers, but on the other hand to facili- tate and help them as much as possible. In order to aid as greatly as possible in restoring confidence to the people of New Orleans in their financial Institutions the treasury department had sent by telegraph and express to the sub-treas- ury in that city within the past two days $1, ,350000 to be used in meeting sugar bounty claims and other demands upon the government.
 Up to the hour of closing the depart ment this afternoon Comptroller Eckels had received no report from the agents and employees of the bureau in charge of the failed banks.

Johnaon Has Been Relieved.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Referring to the New Orleans dispatch to the effect that much dissatisfaction existed there over the fact that Bank Examiner Johnson had been placed in charge of the failed Union National bank, Comptroller Eek les this morning said to a reporter for the Southern Associated Press that had he known of Mr. Johnson's connection with Q. 6 V. Myer the firm whose failure so seriously affected the Union bank, he would not have designated him to the charge. The assignment however, MT. Ecyels says, was merely temporary, be- cause MT. Johnson was already in charge of the affairs of the American bank and that was enough to engage all his time and abilities. As soon as notice of the Union failure reached the bureau the comptroller directed Examiner Escott of Louisville to proceed to New Orleans and relieve MT. Johnson, which had all ready been done.
 The preliminary report of Mir. Johnson upon the condition of the Union bank had not reached the comptroller at noon, but Mir. Eckels said he had no doubt of the truth of the statement sent out last night from New Orleans that two sets of books had been kept and that a dis crepancy of at least $600,0O0 exists be- tween them.
 Ex-Deputy Comptroller Tucker has been appointed receiver of the Mutual National bank, which closed it's doors yesterday, and he was expected to take charge today.
