RURAL FINAWolAL- MANAozMET

Speaking of the demand for
increased banking facilities in the
agricultural districts, Matthew
Marshal says in the New York
Sun that no bank could sustain
itself unless it could call in its
loans at short notice, and that
could not be done among farmers.
He then speaks his mind thus:
AS things now are the farmers
and planters buy on credit from
local merchants the goods they
need while their crops are matur-
ing and pay for them when the
crops are ready for market. At
the harvest season buyers from
the east and buyers from the west
and buyers from the north arrive
with the necessary cash and pay
for the cotton or the wheat as it
is delivered to them. This cash
the farmer or planter takes to the
merchant to whom he is indebted
and pays his debt with it, The
merchant gathers together thus
received and returns it to his
creditor, often in the same north
ern or eastern city whence it had
just come. While the process is
going on money is plentiful
enough, but as soon as it is COM
pleted the scarcity which pre-
viously existed rccurs, not to be
relieved till the next crop comes
round. In the meanwhile the
merchant has to pay enhanced
prices for the credit he is COM
PEELED to ask and in turn makes
his customers pay him high rates
fer the accommodation he extends
to them.
The plain but unpalatable truth
of the matter is that the farmers
who complain of the lack of bank
facilities and of their inability to
borrow money for useful purpos-
es would spend less than they
earn they would soon have money
enough for their daily transactions
and if they were more scrupul-
Gus in paying the interest and the
principal of their debts they
would find their credit better than
it is and the interest exacted of
them less. Heaven helps those
who help themselves, and neither
heaven nor congress can help
those who do not put their own
shoulders to the wheel.-Cali-
fornia Advocate.

GRACE or BOISE MINISTER'S.

have gone to Boise to preach
what they believe to be the Cos
pei of Christ and the way of sal
walton. Their mission is I'M
questiouably pious and philan-
thropic one. They devoutly be-
lieve that they can point out to
erring man the way to be saved.
Their faith rests in Christianity;
they believe in the same Savior,
the same Bible that the Chris
tan world believes in. In some
respects their creed differs from
that of any other religious de-
nomination. However, their
main aim and hope is the SAL
walton and exaltation of man.
They have gone among other
ministers and begged the privi-
lege of being allowed to PROFOUND
in their pulpits, but the other min
listers have refused that poor
boon, and why? Upon many
occasions the Mormons have per-
mitted the disciples of other
creeds to occupy their pulpits.
Why do these Boise ministers re-
fuse to reciprocate? Is it because
they fear to have their flocks
hear the Mormon gospel? Or is
it because they fear that those
Mormon elders will desecrate their
churches? One fear is as mar
row and bigoted as the other.
One good, pious creature makes
"a pretext of the Mountain Mea-
dow Massacre. We may well
wonder if he has ever read the
history of his own church. There
is not upon the earth today a re-
ligious sect of any consequence
whose history is notred with the
blood of heretics and unbelievers.
VIII conscientious ministers as
sail Mormonism on the grounds
of a single massacreIwhile mem
DRY of pillories, racks and frying
witches remains? Another seri-
ons charge against the Mormons
is that they believe in the debas-
ing practice of polygamy. That
would be a sound objection if
urged by an infdel, but the Chris
tian must remember that Abraham
and Isaac and Jacob were dis
posed to marry extensively; and
David, man after Gods own
heart, took kindly to many wives,
even she the reverend prophet
saw bathing upon the house top.
Aye, even Solomon, the most
glorious and wisest of all men,
took to himself a right smart
chance of wives. If wives in
great measure were good for
those ancient patriarchs, possibly
they might be good for the mod
ern stock. Anyway, men who
preach the Bible have no occa-
sion to turn up their noses at half
dozen wives, more or less. The
truth of the whole matter is
those Boise ministers are narrow
gauge; they are also full of world
illness and pulled up in the flesh
If they were genuine Christians
they would have cheerfully loaned
their pulpits to the Mormon Ed
ers; and they would have invit-
ed their congregation to come
out and listen to an exposition of
the Latter Day Saints. The
trouble with religion is that it
warps some mems intellectuals

DEMOCRACY AND THE CHICAGO
PLATFORM.

will help to prop their faith in
the cause. They whistle and try
to look cheerful. The following
from the Boise Sentinel is a
case in point where the presen-
tation of half a truth makes a
very cheerful story:
passing events in the far
eastern states seem to indicate
the Democracy propose to adhere
to the Chicago platform. Both
Massachusetts and Ohio have
nominated ardent free silver men
for Governor, and Tammany has
done the same thing for mayor
of New York. For a dead is
sue the silver question seems to
causing an extraordinary amount
of trouble for the HannaiteS."
Now the whole truth puts
quite a different phase on the
matter. Tammany fatty refused
to endorse the Chicago platform
ignoring entirely Mr.. Bryan and
his populistic propaganda. The
Bryanites were forced to put up
ticket of their own and they
will play a very short string in
the fight in New York. In Massa-
chusetts and Ohio the regular
Democratic organization endorsed
the Chicago platform but the
opposition to it is more deter
mined than it was last year. The
gold Democrats are thoroughly
organized and are making de-
termined fight to split up the
Democracy to gain control of the
organization next year. In Ohio
the Populists bolted from the reg
ular Democratic nominee and
have put up Coxey as middle
of-the-road candidate.
The bitterness of the fight be-
tween the two factions of the
Democratic party is best illustra-
ted by some of their expressions
made at the convention of the
gold Democrats of Massachu sets
held at Boston last week. Here
is sample paragraph from the
speech of one of the leading law
yers of the state and chairman on
platforms: "Today that mass
of dream and delusion ( Organism
is spurned even by the Nebraska
farmers, who vote for it and who
know the fallacy of the deadly
parallel between wheat and the
white metal. Chalked with free
silver heresies that same platform
floats, an abandoned derelict,
upon turbulent sea, sighted now
and then from some volcanic rock
by a Debbs, an Altgeld, or even
as on yesterday by somebody or
other in our own state, but never
again to enter the haven of
American confidence to threaten
and alright. -
The above sounds as though
there was a great love for Bryan
ism among the Democracy of
Massachusetts. The platform as
adopted contains the following de-
claration of principles regarding
the currency:
ave adhere to and insist upon
the maintenance of the present
gold standard. We believe that
the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 10 to I, when the present
commercial ratio is nearly 40 to

AGAIN ASSAULTED.
The Third Time Within Three Months by
Unknown Assailants.

willimantic, Sept. 26.-For the third
time within two months, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank ]. Warner, who are associated in
the publishing of Sunday paper in this
city, have been the victims of assaults
from unknown persons and the climax
was reached shortly after midnight this
morning when there was a fusilade or
rocks against their home. -Four large
rocks were thrown with such force that
they crashed through the closed blinds,
shattered the glass in the window and
one struck the opposite wall with such
force as to knock off considerable plas-
ter.
The rocks were thrown into the cham
ber where Mr.. and Mrs. Warner were
sleeping, and it was by the merest
chance they escaped the missiles. The
bed clothes were covered with broken
glass and splinters of the blinds, and
Mr.. Warner had one foot badly cut by
stepping on piece of glass as he has
tily ran to the window to endeavor
to recognize the miscreants. 1t was I'M
possible to do so, but Mr.. Warner claims
that he heard a team being driven away
at rapid rate.
The Warmers occupy the upper tene-
ment in the house at the corner of
Spring and North streets, and as there
are no lights in the vicinity the persons
guilty of the outrage were favored in
their efforts to escape detection. The
police are working on the case.
The paper issued by the Warmers is
alleged to be of the sensational order.
About two months ago Mrs. Warner
was attacked one night as she was re-
turning and had a quantity of tar
thrown over her clothes, and few
weeks ago Mr.. Warner waS assaulted
in Putnam by persons who felt ag-
grieved over stories which appeared in
the paper.

MONDAY

until to-day it can boast of some of
the finest structures that grace the
earth, Some of the finest specimens of
architecture are cathedrals, and some of
the masterpieces of art and church dec
orations, and some of the sublimest
music was composed for church service,
Protest tantism has modified the impor-
tance of the temple in that 1t has div
ided the church up into sects, and a
town that might have one good temple
has half a dozen poor ones. Yet it has
emphasized it in that each sect has it's
creed to promulgate, and work to do,
and must have a house of meeting.
Churches are now built more for prac-
tical purposes; but we rejoice this morn
ing because our little church has been
repaired and beautified. This means
much. First, a growing taste for the
beautiful. The days of Puritan auster-
ity have past, and men are linking re-
ligion inseparably with the beautiful as
well as the good. Second, a stronger
social tendency. Third, an awakened
interest in building up the spiritual
kingdom of Jesus Christ.

Hot Weather Made Business for Blind
Tigers-A Nicket-in-the-slot Machine.
The police of the Howard avenue pre-
cinct yesterday found mammoth nick
el-in-the-slot machine at work, possibly
the largest found in New Haven since
the crusade against the machines was
started. The machine was nothing
more nor less than a dwelling house
situated at 6S York street and occupied
by James Reynolds. A side window
served as the slot and when a nickel was
placed on the window sill a large foan-
ing refreshing hsaker of beer was hand
ed out.
The number Of nickels dropped in the
slot was rapidly increasing and the ma
chine was doing a rushing business,
when suddenly Officers Byxbee and
Good appeared upon the scene At once
there was a scalnpering and a man just
waiting for the machine to reciprocate
for his nickel, at once. made tracks for
parts unknown, while the man inside
who had done the passing through the
window made a hasty exit through
rear door. A quantity of beer was con-
f1scated, but no arrests were made. ADJ
joining the house is a saloon in which
Reynolds is bartender.
Another raid made by Howard avenue
officers was at Ats Oak street on house
in which Niles C. HoEbrook was selling
without license. Fifty bottles of lager
and a quantity of other liquors were
confiscated. Officers, Rice, Good and
Byxbee made the raid.
The police Of the Grand avenue pre-
cinct were also vigilant yesterday and
kept on the lookout for violators OF the
Sunday law. The first raid made was
at 80 St. John street, where John Kee-
han, who keeps the Moonlight saloon
next door, was dispensing moonshine
and other exhilarating liquids to all
thirsty comers. Business was brisk at
8 o'clock in the morning when Sergeants
Crocker and Bradley and Officers Kelly
and Caulfleld made a call They found
Keehan selling in the cellar and con-
siderable crowd refreshing themselves.
Two dozen bottles of lager and a quart
of whiskey were confiscated.
Soon after this No. 1868 State street
was touched up by the same officers.
Antonio Bittner was running tempo-
rary bar in the cellar. Six dozen bottles
of beer were confiscated. Arrests win
follow later.

THE B4DENi-U0LFrE DUEL.
The Affair Has Caused u Wild Sensation
in Vienna.


London, Sept. 27-The Vienna cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says this
morning:
The duel between Count Badeni, the
Austrian premier, and Dr. Wolfe. the
German Nationalist leader, has caused
the widest sensation. 1t arose out of
the riotous scenes at the opening of
the Rechrath, when Count Badeni,
with arms crossed and head on his
breast listened unmoved by the clamor
and gesticula tions of the German par
ty.
His attitude was most irritating.
The whole left formed a threatening
group around him, conspicuous among
them being the great lean face of
Wolfe as he pressed forward and
thrust his fist into Count Badeni's face,
saying: IF this is your policy, it is
miserable chicanery." Some declare
that Dr. Wolfe called him a Polish
pig" He was pulled back by his COL
leagues, but continued uttering men,
aces.
Early on Friday Count Badeni sent
his seconds to Dr. Wolfe, who accepted
the challenge. The premier sent a tel
egram to the emperor asking permis-
sion to fight the duel and at the same
time rendering his resignation. In re-
ply he received not only permission to
fight but also the imperial approval.
Count Badeni then made his will after
which he spent the evening at the
Jockey club and a pleasure resort
His wife and family knew nothing
about the affair until the duel was
over.
The combatantS met at the Military
Riding school. Count Badeni's seconds,
were Marshal Count Uexkull-Gyllen-
band, commanding the Vienna garri-
son, and Colonel Resch, former adj
jutant of the emperor. DR.. Wolffe's
seconds were two German deputies.
The conditions of the duel were three
shots at twenty-five PAGES. At the
first discharge the premier's ball
struck the ground fifteen PAGES from
his antagonist The latter's ball struck
Count Badeni in the right arm. He
staggered back to his chair and was
then taken to his home where the bull
let was extracted.
There are no symptoms of fever, and
Count Badeni is conducting affairs as
usual 1t is thought that as the pre-
mier has set the example with the en-
peror's approval there will be a serious
epidemic of duelling. The Arbeiter
Zeitung points out that Count. Badeni
is liable to Imprisonment for from one
to five years.

LONDON IN A PANIC
As Murder Follows Murder, but without
Detection.

Detection.
London, Sept. 25.-The present extra
ordinary epidemic of murders, suicides
and outrages upon women in London
and it's vicinity is unequalled since the
days of "Jack the Ripper" Daily, for
the past week, the public has been
startled by an atrocious murder, and
the alarm is increased by the fact that
the perpetrators of the crimes have all
baff1ed the police and have escaped
without apparently leaving a clue as
to their identity. The murder in a
railway carriage of Miss Camp, in Feb
ruary last, the perpetrator of the crime
not having been discovered, has been
followed by another railroad tragedy
in which Mrs. Bryan, the wife Of DR..
Bryan of Northampton, has been
killed under circumstances pointing to
murder, and the Rev. Dr. Aubrey
Price, a well-known divine, was killed
by burglars at his residence on Mon
day. A little boy has been kidnapped
and murdered in the suburbs; rich,
miserly woman has been found cut to
pieces at her residence, Bethnal Green,
anu d lCI ulti utusoIlcI, JOlll-
son, has been murdered at Windsor un-
der peculiarly atrocious circumstances.
Her body was mutilated, stripped and
thrown into the Thames. The authors
of all these outrages are still at large,
and there seems to be no trace of them,
although the murderer of Emma john
son is believed to be a maniac, whose
actual identity is not known, but who
for some months past has frightened
and assaulted persons on the road from
Windsor to Maidenhead and who has
always managed to elude capture.

FErER SITUATION IMPROVING.
Situation at New Orleans is Regarded as
More Hopeful.


New Orleans, La, Sept. 26.-To-day
was the quietest of the week in New
Orleans, and the fever situation, in
spite of the appearance Of large num-
Der of new cases, may be said to have
much improvement. Fifteen cases were
recorded by the board Of health, but
there was no death, and there has
been none since Friday. The authori-
ties received reports during the evening
from nearly every patient now under
treatment, and the reports were all to
the effect that the cases are dong well
and that no patient is in any immediate
danger of death.
Some forty cases were reported to-
night as being rapidly on the mend, and
a number of them will be discharged
during the week. One of the most dan
gerous cases that have appeared was
discharged to-day. 1t was on Madison
street, in the neighborhood of the
French market, where the conditions
were considered to be such as to war;
rant fear that the disease would spread
Unusual precautions, however, were
taken by the authorities to quarantine
the case and improve the sanitary con-
ditions of the neighborhood, and the
fever in that vicinity seems to have
been stamped out. At the Oakland
park detention camp all the refugees
who have been given quarters were de-
clared to be well, no sickness having
yet appeared in the camp.
The new cases are. as usual, scat
tered. The most important among
them are: Mr.. NJ. C. Hardy, a wealthy
insurance man, and Mrs. Williams,
wife of Gen. w. H. Williams, well
known newspaper man. There are now
four cases in the Williams residence,
but they are all reported to be doing
well.
A number of children are among the
new cases.

LONDON STOCK MARKET.
Decline Due to Restriction in Bank Loans
to Speculators.

London, Sept. 26.-The feature of the
stock market is the break in Americans.
This has been ascribed to the Cuban
difficulty and the yellow fever. But the
fact that all Americans are alike effect
ed disproves the theory.
The break is really caused by the re-
strictions in bank loans, to spectators,
who have been forced to sell holdings
on borrowed moneys, thus checking an
unnatural rise that might have ended
disastrously. New buyers are expected
at the Lowell level, and the rise may soon
be resumed
