is composed OF nonunion musicians.
The club took the band to play at the

would have tho temerity to employ nom

to their Giscredi, At least there is a vast

Returns for His Meals.

Queer situations arise In small munich

entirely new proposition.

but the gentleman himself holds the city to
the letter of its bond and insists upon hav-
fng the benefits Of the full time neted out
TO him.
Moses Zambriz the man in question, as he
views the situation. has considerably the
best OF the town. He Is the negro who was
sentenced TO six months In the caiaboose
and ordered to pay 500 fine because he
was carrying a razor; but the town now
finds his care burdensome, and he is offered
every possible chance TO escape, yet he
won't escape.

says he: "'dats mon I ulster to gittin'. an
Use gwine ter stay right hyah.''
Meantime the city officers are in q guam
dary The mans sentence means some
eighteen months confinement and work. and
they haven't the slightest desire to keep
him that length Of time. His arrest was
meant as a sort OF bluff to keep the unruly
element In fear OF the authorities, but they
didn't calculate on a prisoner who would
refuse to escape.

but was back at on the dot.
The same night. Nose, being a religious
negro. asked to be allowed to go to church.
Cronn said all right, and to convince Nose
that he was not wanted he locked the jail.
But Nose, when he returned about O'clock.
thought something was wrong. and ne went
to Cronins house. woke him Up and in

'On the face OF this letter." said former

follow In the footsteps of Mr. Olney. He
would not be surprised should Mr.. Cieve-

About Connecticut,

The Democratic press tried to make
much Of the late Connecticut town elec-
lions, In which the Republicans lost q
few villages. As usual they went into
the prophecy business and predicted an
overwhelming majority for Bryan in the
Nutmeg state. Let US see how this is.
According to q Connecticut clergyman
1t Will be the other way. He writes to
the American Economist as follows:
The clergy are not expected actively
to take an interest In politics, and as
rector Of church do not preach poll
tics: but I believe that every Interest,
spiritual and commercial, demands the
election of Mckinley and Roosevelt.
The little red cards which you sent out
were some Of them handed to me, and
while the men in the shops are too busy
to sign these. and perhaps every one
feels that time is money now. neverthc-
less l want to say that there Is no
doubt that they will all vote on election
day. ! am pretty familiar with the
situation politically. as meet many of
the men daily. but do not know OF ono
man who intends to vote for Bryan
This Is worth noting. because In Scnn-
tor Barnum's day this village cast u
solid Democratic vote with one exccp-
ton, but to-day the situation Is nbso-
lutely and completely reversed. II the
rest Of Connecticut feels like this VII
lnge. and i think It does, Bryan will
think n sledge hammer hit him when he
rhears from the Nutmeg state.

tainlty and the fear that makes capital

cics. This condition Is ably exploited
by MIR. Henry Claws In his weekly cir
cular on the prevailing factors that In
nuence Wall strert affairs. He says:
The stngnancy In the stock market Is
In no small measure due to the unset
Ting effect OF the presidential election.
The canvass Is not an exciting one. but
It Is one TO which the public attach an
unusual degree OF practical Importance.
The Issues are not OF u kind that many
people are willing to act upon In the
way OF buying or selling stocks. The
only question on when the public In
terest In real and deep Is the money
question. The sO-cnllcd 'imperinlisin''

'system. Voters are becoming more and
more aware that these two so-called
leading issues are flctions designed to
mis!ead;i and therefore these questions
are not calculated to influence either
speculation or Investment. Tho one
question in which any real vital and

serve discreet silence lest It's open
advocacy should land them In defeat.
In this, the whole conservative busi-
ness community feels n serious. not to
shy anxious, concern. However small
the chances may seem TO be for the iG
the country on the silver basis. II Is
thought by many as not beyond the
range OF possibility that such may be
tho result. The election hns no terrors
for Wall street beyond what may
centre In that remote possibility; and.
no matter how low the possibility may
be rated. It Is SO supremely serious In
Its nature and potentiallties for evil,
that the supporters Of the great flnan-
cial interests may be expected to post
pone their purposes until that uncer-
tainty has been disposed OF. In view OF
this fact, and despite the probability
of the sound money candidate being
elected. there is little chance Of revival
in Wall street interests until after the
day OF election: for who ia likely to buy
for either speculation or Investment on
u large scale, In face Of the possibility
that the result OF the election may over
whelm the whole country In panic q
short month hence?

A Rrvnn Misanthrope.

The Intelllgencer has on every occas-
Ion. while 1t has differed with Ex-
Speaker Mckinney on political lines,
given that gentleman credit for common
sense, but 1t is sorry to note that It has
been mistaken In Its judgement. Mr..
sMcKinney's partlsanshlp has run away
with his reason. These remarks arc
inspired by reading an account Of a
Democratic meeting at Grafton. which
appears In the Sentinel. That paper
has the following comment:
Zion. o. S. Mckinney, Of .FaIrmont,
addressed the convention. or what little
was left OF It when the proceedings
closed The attendance and surround
ings were so discouraging and listless
that the Marion statesman cut his re-
marks short. One young Democrat got
mad at Mack's assertion that times
were no better now than they were four
years ago. and pulled OF his Bryan but
ton and after stamping 1t on the floor
went out and got q Mckinley button
and pinned 1t on his coat"
The only wonder is that Mr.. McKln-
ney's facetious remarks did not drive
his young Democratic hearcr to greater
extremes. The ex-speaker certainly
could not have meant what he said for
no man In this state has proflted more
by the good times that now prevail
than Mr.. Mckinney. In REPUTATION of
McKinney's dolaful story We subjoin
the following from the pen of Mr.. c..
w. Arnett, OF Fairmont. the ex-speak-
er's home, and which appeared In the
Manufacturers Record:
I'VE have had continuous prosperity
in our section of West Virginia for over
three years, and should Mckinley be
reelected this fall we could not ask for
4 brighter future for. West Virginia.
Bryan's election would mean. disaster
to business. destruction of public con-
iidence, the return Of panics. the re-
duction Of work and wages and the re-
petition OF the scenes Of hardshlps and
soup houses which filled the land during
the last Democratic administration"
