Wnl. Worth was arrested by the police
today for stealing paint and oil from J.
D. Power. Power was painting the f.
A. Austin place at the corner of King
and Fillmore streets, and Worth was
working for him Several days ago he
missed a hundred pounds of white lead

able to find any trace of it. The mat
questioned Worth, who seemed very anx-
ious to aid them in finding it. Last
night he went to the station and told
Sergeant Donovan that he knew where
it was and took him to the place but
the paint was gone. The sergeant sus-
picicned that Worth had taken it. and
questioned a man who was painting the
building at Fifth ard Kansas avenue,
ard found that he had purchased the
paint from Worth. Worth confessed to
the theft when 'sweated,'' and said that
he was under the influence OF liquor.

THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

IF-rom the Oshkosh Northwestern
As unacc0untable as it may SEEM a
large part of the necessary labors Of
political committees during a cam
paign is to induce voters to register and
to vote. It seems indeed surprising that
1t should require the attention of politi-
cal committees TO see that men avail
themselves of that privilege upon which
self government is founded the privi-
lege Of the franchise. There are men,
no doubt who pirate about self govern
Tnent of the FIipinos. and who talk
about the consent of the governed and
the rights of citizenship, who have to
be urged to get out to the polls them
selves and possibly must be carried to
the polls or they Will never get there
Although the opportunity to vote and
the privilege of electing public officers
is regarded as such a cherished right. an
indifference often prevails in the exer-
else of this right that IS simply aston
ishing. After almost every election lists
can be made in every precinct of voters
who failed to get to the polls, and in
stances are not rare where political
committees have sent carriages for such
voters. and yet they declined to go to
the polls. A gentleman interested in
getting the vote out two years ago tells
the story that in one case a man sent
back word that if he was paid two dol
lars he would come and vote, otherwise
ne would not leave his work. Think of
our forefathers fighting for freedom and
liberty and self-g government and then
have men demand payment for exercis-
ing the right OF suffrage purchased with
the blood of those who fell at Lexing-
ton and Bunker Hill
Imagine. if you win, a movement TO
deprive these same men of the right of
suffrage, and see how quickly they
would rebel against any such sugges-
ton Yet, having the right and It being
their duty as citizens to exercise that
right. they treat 1t with Indifference and
may even have TO be urged if not paid
for exercising il. Fortunately. there are
comparatively few voters who regard
their privilege and duty so lightly; but
it is frequent in elections that this in
difference and disregard is the very
thing that changes the results at the
ballot box
No man discharges his full duty as a
citizen who refuses or neglect to go 10
the polls and vote. Without every vote
entitled to be cast there can be no COM
plete representation Of the popular viii
If enough men remain eWay from the
polls to change the result, then the re-
salt is even q misrepresentat ton of the
popular will. In duty to his town, his
county. his state and his country no
man has a moral right to refuse to vote.
He has no right to make it necessary
for political committees to hunt him up
to urge him to exercise the blood egot-
ten blessing Of elf-government.

WILL STAY PEKIN.
Method1sts Will Keep Missionaries
In Chinese CAPITAL.

New York, Oct 11.-Rev. DR.. A. B.
Leonard, corresponding secretary of the
Methodist Episcopal Missionary society,
states that 1t had been decided that a
Methodist missionary force should re-
main in Pelxin during the winter The
missionary property at the capital has
all been destroyed, scarcely one brick
remaining upon another; it has been re-
ported this property included not only
the residences of missionaries but a min
istery building. a girls school, hospital
and a new church, which would seat
1900 people. The force which viii re-
main in Pekin include Rev. Drs. H. H.
LOwery, Geo. r. Davis and w. T. Hobart,
Rev. H. E. King and Geo. d Lowery,
M. D., also Mrs. c. NJ. Jewel, Miss Alice
Terrell, Miss Gertrude Gilman and Miss
Anna Gloss. NJ. D.
The following will also winter at Tien
Tsin: Rev. w F. Walker J. H Pike
and George w. Verify, Miss Raphael r.
Benn, N. d, and Miss M. Ida Stevenson,
NJ. D.
These missionaries will look after the
native converts and do such other work
as may be possible.
Robert E. speer. one Of the secretaries
of the Presbyterian board of foreign
missions, has received letter from Rev
Paul D. Bergen of the WOhein station,
who wrote from the German city Using
tan, under date of September 4, as fol-
lows:
The situation is at present not reas-
surfing. Not to speak of the threaten
ing clouds in the other parts of the en-
pire here in Shan Tung the people are
more restless and bitter than before the
taking of Pekin."
Another letter was from Rev. J. H.
Chalfant, who writes from the same
place that the Chinese arsenals at
Shanghai, Marking and Wuchang are
working night and day turning out war
material which is being supplied to the
boxers.
Just a day or two before the letter was
written a construction train on the new
German railway had been fired upon
only five miles from Tsingtan, Of which
the Germans are making a great forti-
fed seaport.

Resolution to Stop Practice in

A resolution was introduced in the
grand body l. O. o. +. this morning, the
purpose Of which was to restrict cleo
pioneering by the candidates for offices

the custom of the candidates to employ

dorsed the spirit OF the bin and It was
