HOWARD STILL HIDING
THE NOTORIOUS SWINDLER SUP
POSED TO BE IN TOLEDO.
Guard at the Ohio Penitentiary BE-
cape-His Varied Career.

TOLEDO, o., Sept. 19-Rev F. G. B.
Howard, the notorious United States pris-
oner. who escaped from the penitentiary at
Columbus on the morning of the 18th inst,
is believed to be in hiding in this city. He
was seen here Monday afternoon, Sept. 10,
at 1 o'clock by Detective John A. McLaugh-
lin, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and had
a conversation with the detective At the
time the detective was talking with the es-
capped convict there was telegram await
ing the former at one of the hotels in the
city, stating that Howard had escaped, and
was thought to have gone in the direction
of Toledo. The man, who was disguised
only by the dyeing of his mustache, asked
Mclaughlin about the boats to Detroit, as
well as the departure of trains for that
point. Mclaughlin says that he noticed
that the man had a dyed mustache, and
engaged him in conversation, as he sus-
pected that he was crooked. The man
threw off all suspicion that he was a GRIM
ihal by acting like an insane man, saying
foolish things and talking in an incoherent
manner. About two hours after the de-
tective had been talking to Howard he re-
ceived the telegram giving the reverend
gentleman's description. All of the steam
boat lines and railroads were Immediately
notified, but they have not yet seen the
man nor carried him out of the city How
ard is believed to have friends in the city
who are keeping him under cover One Of
the guards at the penitentiary is suspected
or having had something to do with the es-
cape OF Howard. man answering How
ards description got the ends of his mus
t2che clipped and the same dyed in a Sum-
mit-street barber shop about noon last
Monday.

FOOLISH CONFIDENCE IN LUCK.
Good Times Have Begun, but May Not
Continue Indefinitely.
Brooklyn Eagle.

The certainty that Europe will have TO
pay to the United states between $lOOOO0,-
600 and $200, coo for wheat this year and
that the balance of trade will be in our
favor has led to speculation as to the way
in which the debt will be paid. Europe
may either send us gold or cancel loans
which she has made to us. In either event
we profit to the amount of the balance in
our favor. If she cancels loans, or. in other
words, returns bonds to us on which she
has advanced money. the debt of the coun-
try to Europe is diminished and our wealth
is correSpondingly increased. 1t is gener-
ally believed that the balance will be set
tied as other balances usually are, by the
offsetting of one form of debt against an
other and that American securities will be-
gin to return home. If our currency were
based on a sound system no one would care
whether gold or bonds were sent across the
ocean this fall. 1t is because of the ease
with which all the gold can be drawn from
the federal treasury that the possibility of
an increase in the supply of gold in the
country attracts so much attention. We are
in the condition of man who would rather
have his debtors pay him in cash than in
receipted bills In other words, we want
to postpone the payment of our debts and
use the cash TO help us shin along for a
few months more.
We are optimistic, and that is fortunate,
for optimism is better than pessimism.
But we trust too much to bull-headed luck.
We are having good crops this year, and
there is q prospect that the income of the
government will be greater than its eN-
penditures before many months. In view
of the good times coming we are foldlng
faith in the God of nations, who has thus
far lead us on our way. Now, we do not
want to be irreverent. but we do not be-
lieve that the Lord Almighty likes to have
His creatures take Him for fool. There
is more faith in the saying that the Lord
helps those who help themselves than in
all the temporizing folly of those who post
pone mending the leaky roof because they
believe the Lord has been good enough to
stop the latest storm and will not let US
get very wet when the next one comes. OF
course, it is true that the prosperity or the
country depends more on the sun and the
rains than on the laws of Congress or than
on our currency system, but 1t is also true
that business is done on such a narrow
margin OF profit that the little that Con-
gress can do is enough to make the differ
ence between success and failure in many
industries. 1t is about time that we cured
ourselves of the financial ague with which
we have been afflicted since the civil war
and get into state where we are not shiv
ering one year and burning up with a fever
the next. There is an opportunity for the
exercise of some good, old-fashioned horse
sense in the treatment Of the patient. We
sincerely hope that President Mckinley.

to say in a year or two, with the late la
mented Jerry Rusk, I'VE seen our duty and
