He Was Evidently Short.

San Francisco. June 1S.-The suicide
of Isaac Norton, cashier of the inter-
nal revenue collectors office, within a
couple of hours after he was told by
Collector Welburn that his accounts
were to be examined created the belief
that he was short in his accounts. Sew
eral papers found on his body, which
were proper vouchers of the office,
added to this belief. For these reasons
Collector Welburn has begun an in
ventory Of the revenue stamps on hand
and an examination of the cashiers
books
Until a complete inventory is made
Collector Welburn says it will be i'm
possible to say whether Norton was
short in his accounts or not. There
is apparently no doubt in the collec-
tors mind, however, that there is a
shortage. and the belief in the Office
is that il will amount to $1,000 or 50, 900.
1t has been learned since Norton's
death that he was a persistent faro

THEY WANT no moss.

Friday afternoon. in the Chamber OF
Commerce rooms. In New York. was heiu
an initial meeting for the purpose OF
inaugurating the National Souno-Nohes
League" AS there was an organization
Il tho same name during the last presi-
DENTAL campaign, we take II, and, In
fact the wording OF the call Tor the
meeting shows. that the present move
ment looks to the perpetuation ana inc
rendering permanent OF that organiza-
ton. which proved such a poteh.
auxiliary Of McKinleylsm. Indeed the
call proceeds TO make a dig at the
financial plank OF the Chicago platform
and those who supported that platform
and after singing the same old song
about national honor" says:
eve are. therefore. I'm favor OF the I'M
mediate formation OF non-parusan as,
ISOLATION. to be named the 'Natiohai
Sound Money League with central
Executive Committee and auxiliary Or
CARNATIONS in all the States"
Non-partisan. forsooth. We shall see
how non-partisan the league will prove
should It hold together until the next
presidential election.
But It ia not the more remote purpose
Of this organization as much as what
there is reason to suspect is Its imme-
date object, that the people have 10
fear now. 1t IS a long distance to the
bridge Of 1900, and we can afford to delay
preparations for crossing that bridge Tor
awhile. Certainly we can afford 10
delay these preparations until we have
grappled with, and disposed Of, the
danger at our threshold.
A careful examination OF the list OF
slgners Of the call develops that 1t Is
made UP Of men who have profted by
and battened on the present banking and
currency laws. Not only that, but promi-
nent on the list are men who have made
millions of dollars out OF the emergency
bond issues that have been rendered neces-
sary by the existing financial system.
The names represent a powerful comoina-
ton Of bankers, brokers, and capitalists,
whose interests are antagonistic to any
change in our financial methods.
The reasonable and the logical conclu-
sion is that the influence Of this combina-
ton will be brought to bear to prevent
any currency reform legislation by Con-
gress In view OF all the facts and cir
cumstances, and of the interests and
antecedents Of the signers of the call,
the entirely justifable position is this:
The movement means fight over the
currency question Of Wall Street and
the ultra national bank devotees against
the masses and the general business in
terests of the country. At any rate, the
safe course is for the people and the
business organizations to accept the
movement as a challenge, and force the
fighting. The way to do this is to put upon
Congress such earnest, vigorous, and I'M
remitting pressure for currency reform
as will teach the members of that body
that the people OF the country at large,
and not the representatives Of the money
centres and Of speculation, are their
masters
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-02-07

AS an evidence Of the growing feeling
throughout the country against monopo-
listic combinations and trusts. it may be
stated that there are now pending anti
trust bills in the Legislatures Of seven
Of the States. and that most of these bills
are modelled on the Georgia law, which
is exceedingly drastic.
1t would appear from this that Presi-
dent Cleve lands declaration in his annual
message to Congress that there can be
no doubt Of the power Of the several
States to act effectively in the premises"
has made an impression, but the question
is. in how far will State antitrust legis-
lation prove operative in the face of
government by injunction?
Again. What may we not expect from
Congress in the way Of attempts TO de-
feat the objects of State antitrust legis-
lation so long as the Republican party
controls Congress? Ever since the pre-
sent Congress reassembled, the dor1i-
nant party in the body has been culung
out work for the protection OF trusts,
which no one can doubt will be completed
by the next Congress.
