A Millionaire Dinner.

The Bank of the Manhattan Company
will celebrate its centennial anniversary
April grid, with dinner. Invitations are
sent out to sixty-four Presidents of banks
which are members of the Clearing
House, whose capital aggregates $3.50
100000. This aristocracy of wealth is
sustained solely by the government CIV
ing it the franchise to receive on deposit
the peoples money and loan it to them
at all the interest their business will pay,
and in using the money for speculative
purposes. This aristocratic class is fight
ing the people through Congress to gain
still greater power and control of their
money.

Fall i'm Prices.

Bradstreet's gives the rise and fall in
prices for eight years, from 1891 to 1898
inclusive. In the year 1891 prices fell 7
per cent. In 1892 prices rose nearly
per cent. In 1893 price fell II per cent
In 1894 prices fell 9 per cent. In 1895
prices rose 7 per cent. In 1896 prices fell
about per cent. In 1897 prices rose
something less than per cent. In 1898
prices rose a further 81 per cent. In
these years, according to Bradstreet's the
aggregate rise i'll prices was 2oH per cent
and the aggregate fall in prices during
the same period was IS per cent, making
decline in prices and the value of prop
erty of I4H per cent in the last eight
years.
There were losses by failures in business
during this period aggregating $685.
$4,000. This is the evidence of that i'm
partial witness, cold figures against the
worlds greatest robber-the "gold STAN
dard," in its depradations on the indus
trial classes in eight years. The monsters
average yearly plumber amounts to $I74,-
100000. These are only the larger class
of failures. There were thousands of
small failures which did not come under
Bradstreet's notice, which would add
many millions to the losses above record
ed. Who can estimate the tears of
anguish, distracted minds, suicides,
broken homes and scattered families
which these fearful losses represent !?
And these are the ripe fruit of the GOLD
STANDARD!

1t is now in order for the Record

looking for one as diligently as the

honest man in Athens. and havn't
been able to come up with such a

German.

Arthur P German is taking time by the
forelock and keeping the old adage il
view that the early bird catches the worm
Mr.. Gorman's first movement for a seal
in the Senate after March a. 1908, was
made public on last Saturday by sup.
plemert furnished all of his country
papers, identified with his famous polit.
ical machine.
An excellent likeness of the ex-senator
heads the supplement and the patronizing
jesuite smile beams on his votaiies from
the printed page. The supplement re-
hearses the leading parts Mr.. German
has taken in measures oflegislation which
have been conspicuous i'll the last eighteen
years, during the Maryland statesman S
Senatorial career, which ended on Satur-
day, March 4th last The following
Saturday Mr.. Gorman's supplement
appears, which announces as plain as
sign language can speak, Friends am
in the race for Wellington's seat as soon
as he leaves it on March a, 1908"
There are omitted from the supplement
some very important parts of Mr.. Cor
mans political life in these last eighteen
years and prior to them. His dark lantern
methods during that career would make
chapter of far more interest to the peo-
pie of Maryland than any triumphs of the
Maryland statesman on the floor of the
Senate. His goldbug and corporation
proclivities are also carefully avoided, no
hint Of them being given. Germans
antagonism of the Chicago platform is
not even referred 10, and the position he
holds to the National Democratic party is
conveniently omitted from the supplement
Why has German prevented his ma.
chine from declaring for any principles
since 1896 when it appointed delegates to
the Chicago National Convention and
placed them on the Republican gold
standard? II is not Mr.. Germans past
the people are interested in but his pres,
ent and future. They were so disguised
|
German and his machine to coventry
three years ago, and notwithstanding
their infinite disgust with the Republican
goldstandard imperial policy, whose
poison flowers are now bursting into full
bloom, they will keep Mr.. German and
his machine in coventry for three years
/ longer if their so-called democratic policy
of running with the gold hounds and
I holing with the silver hare is adhered to.
1t is now in order for the "Maryland
Democratic Association to send out
another supplement showing the reverse
side of Mr.. Germans shield. 1t is not
fair that but one side only of his shield
should be shown. The people would
enjoy sight of the skeletons in the
closet even more than the angelic picture
which is sent out for their admiration.
German lost his seat in the Senate by
the aristocratic gold bugs of the Demo.
cratic party, the vanishing remnant OF
the old slavery apprehension of Mary
land, despising the methods he used
against them, and the disgust of the JEFF
fersonian class of Democrats, the plain
people, for his goldbug and corporation
leanings. which are repugnant to the
honest masses of tlie party. These are
the two chairs which German tried to sit
on when the Chicago convention pulled
them apart, and he fell between them.
Let him lie there, friends of honest
politics.

The r1ethOdiStS.

Brother Carey of the North East
Star, who is always up to date in
church matters, gives the following
shake-up among the ministers of
that denomination, which may be
of interest to that large class of
Christians to study while writing
for the announcement and appear
ance of their new pastor the follow
ing week.
"The Wilmington Conference
which meets at Cambridge, Md,
on the 22d inst, will find its roster
more shaken up than any time since
it's organization. Since the last
session seven have gone out by
transfer, five have been transferred
in, three have given up their work
and two have died. Among the
supplies al least three have given
up their work. There are three
preachers who are serving their
fifth year who must change. There
are II ministers in the fourth year
of their ministry, IA of whom are
liable to change. In the third year
we find 10 ministers, ID of whom
may probably change; 81 preachers
are in their second year. 1t is es-
timated that 20 of these will be
changed, and of the Ga pastors who
have held their respective charges
one year it is very likely that 20
will be removed. Thus of 140 pas,
tors in the Wilmington Conference
one-half will change pastorates. &"

Another DisgracefuI Legislature Ends
Its Career.

The Delaware Legislature adj,
journed sine die Monday afternoon
at 3 O'Clock, without electing a
United States Senator to succeed
George Gray. J. Edward Addicks,
the gas king, made a hard fight,
securing the support of several
Democrats, but at the end was
four votes short.
This disgraceful legislative farce
of election of U. S. Senators will
strengthen the demand of election
by popular vote. "Dead locks" in
six States this year occurred over
the election of Senators. Election
by the people would end the matter

Mr.. Max Weyl is now occupying his
studio in the Barbizon building after
long summer passed among the Virginia
hills at Castle Hill and the Warm and
Hot Springs Mr.. Weyl is one who, when
he works, applies his whole stock of en-
eIgy and concentration, which, to a certain
extent, explains the large number of can
vases he has brought home with him. He
has in no way confined himself for the
pictures extend over wide range of sub
ject and treat many different effects from
the dewey nghtness of morning to the rich
ness and splendor of stormy sunset
Among his most successful pictures is one
of breaking clouds after rain; a stream
flowing out of the right of the composition
carries the eye back to Il hill beyond which
a curtain of mellow light is hung below the
clouds. He is particularly strong in two
forest interiors. One, study of catalpa
trees, with their twisted trunks and gnared
branches. supporting mass of foliage
which here and there lets the sunlight
through to play over the grass and the
raw, red clay. that crops out in patches
Immediately takes the spectator back into
the cool and quiet recesses of the wood.
Another of some immense oaks, worked on
a late October day happily treats the prob
lem of the gorgeous, almost gaudy color
ing, toned down to more a feeling of repose
through the all-pervading influence of the
autumn haze. An unusual Composition
painted while the summer greens still re-
manned, has a fluffy willow in the fore
ground from under which a little riyulet
wanders down, with further back a row of
dying apple trees silhOuetted against the
Sky. Among the most inspiring of his
motifs was a sunset over the hills A
road leads straight away along the hillside
to clump of trees, that burn in a perfect
glory of the hues of fall, while beyond the
blue hills the tire-fringed clouds are piled
up against the wide oriflamme of the even
ing sky. Another study of evening is felt
from an entirely different aspect and
while it has none of the drama tic brilliance
of the first Is full of the subtle mystery of
twilight. Upon a broad expanse of fat
toned gray sky one long yellow streak
