THE great Methodist church Is now
wrestling with the question Of dancing,
An attempt will be made at the next
general conference TO remove the ban
from dancers, This Is one OF the
strongest evidences Of the times, how
the swing Of the pendulum Is yet NOV
ing away from purltanism toward the
opposite pole, Anything that smacks
of puritan rIgidness Is coming more
and more into disfayor. The old puri-
tanism amounted In truth to a,species
of penance, perhaps almost IN line with
that OF certain heather who beat and
torture themselves asa religious duty.
But had as that was, IL Is better than
the other extreme of looseness, prod
igallty and proAIgacy, Asto the harm
lessness of dancing we do not speak
We simply mention the action OF a
great church in taking up the matter,
AZ I'M indication OF the direction of
the wind, The old fashioned Yankee,
who would walk five miles to collect
ten cents and six miles to pay debt Of
like amount, 10 now seldom known eX-
cept in history, and the man who
spends his money free" in every way
except in paying debts, Is taking his
place. We have started on career Of
luxury and these other attending quail
tiles of character meet us in the march
and ask our company. The rich SET

THE Mail and Breeze is not in favor
Of the referendum, but occasionally 1t
takes one from among the people on
some subject or other. Cast week it
went out among the members Of TIE
legislature to test the sentiment as to
the election Of the United States sena-
tors by a direct vote of the people, Its
results were summarized in its head
lines as follows: kansas almost a
Unit in Favor Of Election Of United
States Senators by Popular Vote,
Nearly all the members Of the Kansas
legislature, republican as well AS fusion
lists assure the Mail and Breeze that the
present method of electing senators
by the legislature is not the best, "

THE vote on Quay's title to seat in
the Senate was rather a pleasantsur-
prise to the people OF the country. 1t
was to be sure very close and only de-
termined by one vote so that nearly
all the republicans voted to seat him.
But after all II is a matter for congrat-
ulation that a few, even very few re-
publcans will disobey the party in
stinct, and defy the party lash for de-
oency and consistency. However, it
must be sold that with some of them
at least, 1t was done to satisfy a grudge
which may be paid back with interest
by Quay's friends.

Asro the conditions in the Sever

AS TO the conditions In the Seventh
district we feel 1t our duty to keep the
people informed from time to time as
any change transpires. While at
Clay Center we had an opportunity to
interview quite n number Of people
from different parts Of this district as
well sthe Sixth. From them we learn
that the populsts of the Sixth district
will support their candidate to "A man
and they claim the support Of num-
Der Of democrats rs well, tut in this
district we find the conditions reversed.
Not alone in Reno county but gener-
allV over the district the populists will
vote largely for Duyal, II either, should
they both stay on the ticket, How
ever, there are probably counties that
would vote largely for Campbell.
Many are so Disguised they will not
vote for either, should present condi-
remrin thraugh the campaign. AS to
the justice Of the claims, or of their de-
cisions we will not speak atpresent. We
simply aim to state the condition as we
have found it. To be sure we have no
information from many of the counties.
We believe however that the leaders on
both sides are coming to sober second
thought and the matter will be amic-
ably adjusted within few weeks so
that all parties will 20 into the can
paign with good feelings and in hearty
accord to beat a common enemy.

Or COURSE it's not exactly far to
Judge the republican party by the alb
errasions of the Nickerson Argosy, but
after all, it will generally be found
that the ArRosy is only following along
after something that some bigger re-
publican has said. Speaking of Ed
itor MorrisOn's candidacy for State
senator it says: Whenever a man be-
gins to talk about the plain people as
he does, ne talks pure political rot and
he knows it. He does not deserve an
election" Yet we remember that
Lincoln had something to say about
"the plain people," Perhaps he was
talking "pure political rot, knew it,
and did not deserve election" But
then one who defends the British mas
sacre of South African farmers, as
justi6able warfare, perhaps has reason
to fear the plan people,"

THE case stands thus, that the Porto
Ricans were "naturalized' as citizens
of the United States by the treaty ced-
ing the island by Spain and our accept
ance OF the cession; whereupon the
people dwelling upon the island be-
came citizens of the United States, en-
titled to all of those privileges and i'm
munities which the Americans had
heretofore had. When, then, Congress
undertakes to impose burdens upon
citizens of the United States dwelling
in Porto Rico which are not imposed
upon other citizens of the United
States dwelling upon American soil
elsewhere, it violates the fundamental
rights of those American citizens

strike would be ended by next Monday
If all the operators posted notices ruaran-

by the mine wo.kers and the mine OH

President Mitchell was asked on Ills ar
rival here from Pottsville 90 Mat he
based his belief that the strike would end
with this week. but he declined to say
anything other than the proposition Of
the miners was so fair that he could see
no valid reason why the operators should
not accept. The national president was
much pleased when he learned that the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, the
Delaware and Hudson, the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre and the Hillside companies
had sguificd their willingness TO pay the
10 per cent increase until April l. lie
also expressed satisfaction that the For

been on strike since January, had ac-

TRUSTED CLERK GONE
An Employee Takes 100000
From a New York Bank.
OPERATIONS SEILLFULLY CONCEALED
DcfauIting Note Teller Had Occupied
Position In One of the Oldest
Financial Institutions In the
Country For Twenty Years.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Wal street
was electrified late yesterday afternoon
by the news that C. l.. Alvord, note teller
Of the First National bank at . Wall
street, had defaulted to an amount esti-
mated at over 100000.
The First National bank is one of the
oldest and most powerful financial insti-
tutions in the United States. 1t numbers
among its supporters such people as the
Astors and the magnates of the New
Jersey Central railroad.
c. l.. Alvord, the defauting note teller,
is one of the oldest and most trusted em-
ployees of the bank. He has for the last
20 years occupied a place in the institu-
ton.
His home is in Mount Vernon.
Vice President +. l.. Hne rlade this
statement to a reporter yesterday after
noon:
'The note teller, who has been in the
employ of the First National bank for
many years, is defaulter to large
amount. His operations have continued
for considerable period and have been
skillfully concealed through a manipula-
tion of his balance book.
THE discovery was made by one of the
banks employees few days after the
completion Of an examination of the bank
by the United States examiners.
During the continuance of his pecula-
tions periodical examinations have been
made 10y several distinct corps of exam
iners representing the comptrollers de-
partmcnt. all expert accountants, and the
bank has also had frequent independent
examinations, neither of which developed
any irregularity.
The aggregate of the false entries,
amounting to 100000, has been charged
off on the books of the bank out of the
reserve fund without diminishing the sur
plus and profits of the bank as reported
in its last published statement
1T is expected that the shortage will be
materially reduced by a substantial sum
of which there is a fair prospect of re-
covery"
Beyond this brief statement Vice Presi-
dent Hine absolutely refused to say a
word. President Baker when asked re-
garding the matter said that the state
ment given out by the vice president
contained all he had to say in regard to
the defalcation.
Alvord fed last Thursday and is be-
lieved to have gone to South America.
He was 80 years of age and portly,
weighing nearly 300 pounds. He was
known as a good liver and had the most
extravagant habits. He was we'll
known figure at Saratoga-on the race
track and in the gambling houses.

were driving one was steady, reliable, old
gray mare, the other a fractions, halky black
horse. On the way the wagon was stalled
and the black horse sulked and refused to
pull. "Whapll we do, faherF" said the
younger man. "Well, said the father, II
guess we'll have to lay the pad on the old
gray" That homely compliment to women;
