THE AGE OF THEFT.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-Comptroller Fitch's
expert accountants, who have been at work
investigating the records and accounts in
Brooklyn preparatory to consolidation, have
found discrepancies in the accounts
amounting to $4,000 900. The details Of the
experts reports are as follows: The rec
Ords Of the towns Of Flatlands, Flatbush,
NewlOts and Gravesend, which the officials
of these towns claim were turned over to
the comptroller and corporation counsel Of
Brooklyn when they were merged into
Brooklyn. cannot be found, and this inter-
feres materially with a proper investiga-
ton. There are disagreements between the
books Of the comptroller Of Brooklyn and
those of the registrar Of arrears. In the
department Of arrears there is the utmost
confusion in the records.
Whew! Five million dollars of rob-
berry detected! How many other mill
lions are there not detected?
The people of New York will wake
up some bright morning and find them
selves swimming around in salt water.
The politicians will have stolen Man
haitian Island from under their feet,
and let them slump down into the bay.
Steal! Why they would steal the

The New York World Of a recent date
contains an item that shows how this wave
of prosperity Is working in that goldbug
city. The World says:
From day to day the World has been tell
ing OF the cases of starvation in this city.
There is another index of 1.-THE line in
front OF Fleischmann's bakery, just below
Grace church. on Broadway. Every night
at midnight the proprietor gives the bread
left from yesterdays baking to all who ask.
Three hours earlier the hungry line begins
to form. The poor wretches are willing to
wait for hours to get their food five min
utes earlier. Some nights the line Is two
blocks long.
II never saw It so long before" said the
policeman on the beat, land this is summer
too, when the tramps are gone. The peo-
pie here are all deserving
In the bakery it was said that the line
had never been so long In. the summer as
this year
The World also prints picture Of the long
line of men waiting outside the bakery. In
another column of the same paper men,
ton is also made of young man named
Frank kanapa who died from starvation
in Bellevue hospital, after losing several
positions and then seeking employment
which he could not find.
Is it not shameful that, with such
conditions all around them, Dun & Co.
and Bradstreet & Co., should send out
their tremendous lies, each week, all
over the country, to make their unfor-
tunate readers believe that prosperity
is universal; and thus lead them to be-
ieve that their own sufferings are due
to themselves? In this way the un-
prosperous are afraid to complain, and
an universal lie fastens itself like a
leprosy on the whole country. ID.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Oct. THE popu-

about IS have been shipped out. The depot

fast. or are likely to get dinner Not more
than 20 per cent Of the number have any
money, and those fortunate enough to
have few dollars are hanging on to them
not knowing what the future has in store
for them. Throughout the streets of the
city the balance of the arrivals are scat
tered. searching for a bite to eat. Beds
are made by nature. The West Side build
ings and outhouses afford a shelter for a
large number. the balance finding rest in
the grasses of the parks.
Among the number here, of course there
are those known as hoboes and tramps,
but daily large numbers report to the road
master for work, only to be told to come
around tomorrow" Each day it is the
same, and the men are growing disheart-
ened. The conditions are ripe here for
very serious difficulty, and it needs but
leader to make the 400 or 500 hungry and
idle men a riotOus force, seizing what they
want at any hazard.

BRYAN's CONTINUED POPULARITY.

A good many Republican papers are fond
OF asserting that the silver issue is dead
and that Bryan Is played out. We may ad-
mire their zeal. but can hardly commend
their Judgment. 1t is poor policy to under
rate the enemy, and the phenomenal crowds
which gather TO hear Mr.. Bryan wherever
he speaks indicate that he still has a hold
on the public which cannot be ignored.
Whether it Is due to his attractive person.
ality or to the fact that free silver still
has a strong hold on the public mind. It
makes Mr.. Bryan a formidable political
factor. and it will be well for those who
expect to beat him If he happens to run
for president again, not to forget it.
He spoke at Kansas City on the 9Th, and
according to the Associated Press report,
10000 people gathered to hear him. The
crush was so great that fences were
broken down and many people were in
jured. The eagerness Of the multitude can
harly bt attributed to curiosity, for Bryan
is a we'll known figure in that region. He
has been speaking throughout that Sec
ton for years, from the stump and the
platform. and it is probable that every
body who is in the habit Of attending pub
lie meetings has had the opportunity Of
hearing him more than once. 1t is only
since he became representative of the
cause Of what he calls ''bimetallism," that
his popularity has reached Its great he .ght.
And this popularity his defeat at the last
presidential election. and the slump Of
silver and the rise of wheat. do
not appear to be able to kill. This is
a stubborn fact to be reckoned with, and
the wise politici an will reckon with it and
supporter OF an opponent Of Bryan and
Bryanisr a friend of free silver or Of
sound money.
The foregoing from the Tribune IL
lustrates how even Republican daily
may occasionally unlimber and let out
a little truth. It would seem to- stand
admitted that Organism is not dead,
that it has strong hold upon the
masses and is a potent factor in Amer
ican politics. The Tribune seems to

account for his popularity and A)Lvi-

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The best way to prevent election bribery
is to put men in the county offices al
salaries so low they can't afford to spend
anything for the offices.-Referendum.
Shoals, Ind.
High salaries have been one Of the
principal causes of the reign Of cor
ruption which is debauching and de-
stroying the people of this country.
When the holding Of office paid better
than any private pursuit men spent
their money, buying up the voters, to
obtain the offices; and then, in too
many cases went to stealing to reim-
burse themselves. And when the Of
fice-seekers got through "rottening"
the people the corporations come in to
continue the work. And now a con-
siderable part Of the people think it
Is all right to sell their votes, and an
outrage for anybody to stop them; and
thus the bottom is eaten out of free
institutions.
Let us get back to first principles and
do away with the inducements and the
means to corrupt the voters. Id.
