nIsoRnERED MACHINE


The Plat political machine has been
set in operation once more for the cap
ture of the local government of Greater
New York The Mazet committee has
renewed it's sessions; and the enormities
of Democratic misconduct are being
made plain after fashion to the politi-
cal wayfarer.
The history of this political machine
is instructive. In its original form it
was universally recognized, in the princi-
pies of its construction and operation,
as identical with other known forms of
political strikes, such, for instance, as
that class of political legislation intro
duced from time to time for the purpose
the desire which has prevailed among New
York politicians. from the beginning OF
political creation, to defeat Tammany
Hail. It was considerably improved and
its operations much facilitated away
back in the early sos. when political
combine had been effected, under the
mastery guidance of the late Chester
A. Arthur, between the machine Repub-
iicans of the big city and the anti-Tam-
many Democrats. 1t was brought to its
highest perfection when it was made a
sort of step-ladder for the present re-
corder. Golf, to the judicial bench.
The latest operations Of the Platt
machine have been, if possible, more
absurd and reprehensible than ever be-
fore. Having failed last spring to pro
duce any results which might, by the
worst straining of the political magma
ton, be regarded as injurious to Tam
many rule, and after having exhausted
all the devices Of political despotism in
vain to dethrone Croker or exalt Plat, il
adjourned to the early days of the
present month. Then, having spent the

KENTUCKY POLITICS.
Statement Credited to Ex-GOv. Att
geld, of Illinois.

LOUISVILLE, Ky Aug. 9-What pur-
ports to be a statement frcm ex-Gov
John Z. Altge!d. OF Illinois, IN the polit-
zeal situation in re ltlr.kY, is printed
here. 1t contains the following:
IF we are correctly informed in regard
to the conditions in Kentucky. then the
real question presented there is whether
fraud, trickery, thuggism and crime shall
be permitted to triumph; and. inasmuch
as these elements can always be control
led by corruption, the question broadens
out and become one of national import
ance, for if these elements are to tri-
umph, it means that they will have a
comparatively easy road to travel in 9th
err sections of the Union; and it means
that political conventions, instead of be-
ing run by the pople, and carrying out the
policy and will Of the people, will be run
by men who betray the people, and will
be controlled by those interests that plum
der the country.
Viewed from that standpoint il is ap-
parent that the very existence OF demo-
cratic institutions is involved, and, conse-
quently, it Is the duty Of every man who
loves his country to do what he can TO
crush out these conditions. But whether
it would be advisable for me to go to
Kentucky and make speeches or not will
depend on circumstances; 1t will depend
largely upon what the people of Kentucky
do themselves. If they show a DISPOSE
ton to rescue their state from the con-
troll of rotten politics, and they conclude
that 1 can help them, 1 will gladly do
what I can: and L think similar spirit
will be found all over the country.
Looking at the situation from this dis
lance it seems to me as If i new DEM
ocratic ticket for state officers would be
the salvation of Senator Blackburn, for
it would result in bringing out full
Democratic vote, whereas. If there is no
new ticket put up, and the disguised
Democrats should remain away from the
polls. as they are liable to. then he would
be in great danger"

CALL NOT HEAVY.
subtreasury Cities Modest in Re-
quests for Gold Certificates.

Subtreasury Cities Modest in Re-
quests for Gold Certificates.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-The reports so
lar received from the subtreasury cities
indicate that the call for gold certificates
in exchange for gold coin will be con-
siderably less than the treasury officials
expected. San Francisco, Chicago. Gin
cinnat, st. Louis and New Orleans how
ever, have not yet been heard from, and
consequently, there is no proper basis
upon which to closely estimate the result
of the secretary's recent order But the
demand in these cities is expected to be
even smaller than in the Eastern cities.
by reason of the large surplus in the
money centers of the west I'D to last
night the New York banks had asked for
the exchange of 81, 800, 600; Philadelphia,
$4,000; Baltimore. 100000; Washington.
$15O.0O0O in the departmental series and
$150,000 in ito order" certificates
1t is a matter of some surprise In the
treasury that a large percentage of the
New York calls have been for 500 and GER
ti1cates of other small denominations. 1t
was expected that the certificates would
be used for reserve, and thus release the
large holding of greenbacks and treasury
notes. The real purpose of the banks I'm
asking for small denominations probably
will develop within the next few days.
NEW YORK, Aug. "a second install
ment of gold certificates, amounting to
81 100000, was received at the subtreasury
today The certificates were in denomina-
nations of $40 to $1,000 and were distrib-
uted in lots of $4,000 among the banks I'm
the order of their application A third
iEstallment has been asked for. The new
500 certificates will be ready for circul@
ton next week, it is understood.

laudable undertaking Of saving that 10
per cent to the consumers of the land
There is only one feature of this adj
mirable programme of the glove trust
which we are unable to understand. That
is where the additional percentage of
profit is to go when the 10 per cent is Sc
cured to the consumer. With 10 per cent
to the consumer and 10 per cent to the
manufacturer, the balance of the earned
increment, we must all be assured, will,
in pursuance of the high moral purpose
of the trust, go into the pocket of the
new laborer, thus removing all doubt as
to the truly philanthropic nature of the
new Industrial dispensation brought upon
US with the advent of Imperialism.

Silver Loving Cup.

w. H. S. Wright, Northwestern repre-
sentative of the Illinois Steel company,
and recently purchasing agent of the
Omaha road, received a genuine surprise
yesterday. Opening a box delivered at
his Office, he found therein an exquisite
solid silver loving cup, bearing the in
scription: From your St. Paul Friends
Aug 1, 1899" 1t seems that the relations
between purchasing agents of railroads
and coal companies may easily become
strained, but during his long administra-
ton of the affairs of the Omaha pUr-
chasing department Mr.. Wright not only
preserved the strictest harmony, but
made many firm friends, who presented
the loving cup as a testimonial of their
good will. Before severing his connection
with the Omaha road the employees and
officers of the purchasing department pre-

In SECRET SESSION
PROCEEDINGS OF THE DREYFUS
C0URT-MARTIAL WERE C0NTxN-
UED ON WEDNESDAY
STUDYING SECRET DOssIER
Scholar, Aided in the TRANSLATION
of Documents Written in That
Language - Precautionary Police
Arrangements Were More Strin-
gent During the Day.

RENNES, France, Aug 9-There was
little the public learned Of the proceed
ings in the Dreyfus case today. The SEES
sions Of the court martial were held be-
hind closed doors and the strictest secrecy
was maintained. The secret session last
ed from $40 to 11:45 a. M Gen. Chanoine
nearly completed his part of the explana-
ton Of the dosser. He will be heard to-
morrow for about q couple of hours and
then NJ Paleologue, Of the foreign office,
will take Up the task. which, it is under
stood. will be completed Friday next. A
public session, therefore, will take place
Saturday morning. The dossier consists
OF about 400 documents, of which fifty
were disposed of yesterday.
Several of the documents are written
in German. During the proceedings to-
day German dictionary was sent for
and the correspondent here of the Asso-
ciated Press learns from a sure source
that when certain words and expressions
could not be exactly understood, even
with the aid of the dictionary, Dreyfus,
who is perfect German scholar, yolun-
teered a translation and was allowed to
give explanations which were of valuable
assistance of the members Of the court.
The precautionary police measures to-
day We're much more stringent than yes
terday. Strong detachments of infantry
instead of gendarmeS, cordoned the
streets leading to the Lycee. Gendarmes
alone performed this duty yesterday, and
the public who were much less numerous.
barely mastering 800 persons, were press
ed still farther back. Persons standing
inside of the entrance of a house within
view of the door of the Lycce were even
compelled by gendarmes to retreat into
the interior of the house and front door
was closed. Absolutely nobody but police
and soldiers were thus within 100 yards Of
Dreyfus when he crossed the Avenue de
la Care. The police authorities explain
the rigor of these measures on the
ground that yesterday few cries against
the prisoner were raised while he was
crossing the avenue. Not a discordant
note was heard anywhere today.
