New London, Jan. 27-According to
the story told by Mrs. G.. M Pierce to-
day, the statement emanating from
Waterbury last night that Mrs Math-
ews of that city was wilfully being de-
prived of the possession of her seven
teen-year-old daughter Rose and also
denied information as to her where
abouts are in some respects inaccurate.
AS stated in the Waterbury story, Mrs.
Mathews, who is a widow, placed her
children in an orphan asylum in New
Haven five years ago, and Rose, who
was then twelve years of age, was later
placed by the chaplain, Rev. Father
Corcoran, in the home of John Fitch
of New London, brother of Mrs.
Pierce Early in December Mrs. Math-
eWs' sent young man to New London
to bring Rose home, when it was dis
covered that the Fitch family had re-
moved to New York, but nothing fur
ther could be learned. Mrs. Pierce says
that her brother removed with his fam
lily in May last to Staten Island, and
were it not that the young man who
came for the girl aroused her suspicious
by his somewhat conflicting statements
he might have readily obtained the
needed information. Furthermore, there
is no desire to keep the girl away, as
Mrs. Pierce has communicated with her
brother and he claims to be willing to
resign the girl to her mother whenever
he receives request from Father Cor
coran to that effect

The court OF inquiry's report on
the beef scandal has been made
public by the President. From
beginning to end t is a bold effort
to whitewash the Commissary
Department, excuse Alger and
give the Chicago beef contractors
a certificate OF character.
General Miles is sacrificed to the
political necessities of the McKin-
ley Administration. Although he
sold no beef f.shared in no contracts,
and had nothing to do with the
Commissary Department, he is
censured by this remarkable court
Of inquiry, which pronounced the
beei sound and nutritious when it
was purchased, and charges all the
decayed and poisonous beef up to
the climate OF Cuba.
All the whitewashing reports
that the friends OF Nc Kinley might
frame from now until doomsday
could not hide the stain on Alger
or wipe out the crimes OF the Com
missary Department, in league
with the rascallY beel contractors,
against our soldiers.
The truth is that the people have
no interest in anything the court

scandal. They have read the tes
timony in the newspapers, anc
they have made up their minds a:

tTuthJ the dSptn OF WHOSE mean
ing we OF America are beginning
to understand. AS we look ovei
the country to day we see two
classes of people-the excessively
rich and the abiectly poor. Anc
between them is guilt ever deep
ening, ever widening, and the ranks
oil the poor are continually being
recruited from a third ass, the
well to-do, which class is rapidly
disappearing and being absorbed
by the very poor. On one side OF
this gulf we see the people toiling
day and night, in the fields, the
mines, the factories, working for
meaGer wages, scaptily clad and
poorly fed, and when the year S
crop is gathered or the days
wages are paid we see the pro-
ducts OF the farm and the fruits Of
the toll transferred across this in
separable gull and delivered to
those on the opposite side.
An inspection shows that these
latter are well clothed and that
they have every comfort and lux
urY. They live in splendid man
sions, in gorgeous palaces. We
see no farms, no mines, no mills,
no factories, for the dwellers on
this side of the gulf do not labor.
Yet there is piled up all the pro-
ducts Of the farms. the mines, the
factories, which came from the
other side. The little study of this
situation which the Democracy
has made reveals the fact that the
laws are such that this vast army
of people on one side are compelled
to LABOR and toll IN poverty in
order that the few dwellers on the
other side may lead lives of idlt-
ness and luxury. One OF these
classes represents, we may truly
say, plutocracy; the other repre-
sents the great masses, the toilers
OF the nation. The greatest stTug-
gle OF all the ages is the one now
going on between these two
classes. Plutocracy is endeavor-
ing to widen and deepen the chasm,
while the people are trying to
bridge it until there will be a COM
mon ground on which ali can meet
on an equal footing.
The rapid concentration OF
wealth in the hands Of a few is the
most alarming sign OF the times
and unless speedily checked por-
tends the decay of our national
greatness. The danger is so i'm
minent that thinking men every
where are alarmed, and it is with a
desire to arouse the people and let
them see whittier they are drifting
that we shall from time to time
contribute something upon this
momentous question. We have
unwavering faith in the honesty
and patriotism of the masses and
believe that when the critical mo-
ment arrives in 1900 they will, in
turning down Mr.. McKinley's
trust and un-American Expansion
Party, exhibit the spirit OF our an
cestors when they declared that
"all men are, and, by right, ought
to be, free and equal" F.s.

but, as between William and Oliver no
Irishman could dream of making a
comparison. The one fought his

The Russian Ambassador in london,
NJ de Staal, is to preside over the inter.
national conference at The Hague for
the promotion OF peace, Yesterday he
received a deputation from some of
those who have been most active in
getting up the movementhere to support
the Gar. NJ. de Staal is very well
acquainted with the English language.
But he replied in French, and confined
himself to generalities. Il would be
indeed surprising If old and experienced
diplomatists, who have long since got
rid of the little faith IN the future tbev
ever had, were enthusiasts for the main
tenance ofpeace. II is the most import
ant fact about the conference that the
Gar acted Of his own motive and of his
own accord. M. de Staal referred to the
sympathy with the Gar which had been
expressed m England, but in England It
was never wanting. II the Car can
control France, and influence Germany,
the success OF the conference will be
assured. It is certainly not from this
country that danger to the peace of
