a Queer Place for Money.

\ Chicago woman caused more or less
conmotion few days ago over the loss OF
her hat. Its value to her was four hundred
dollars. hank notes to that amount ing
concealed in the band, \ mischievous
breeze lifted the hat from the head OF the
owner and scattered the notes broadcast.
and very little CT the money was reooy-
cred.
This suggests the reflection that some
people seem determined to choose for their
money the most unlikely and peculiar
hiding places. and sometimes they come to
grief thereby. There are instances of bank
notes being concealed in stoves, in holes
in the wall. in the ground. in all sorts OF
places where fire, thieves, or rats might
be expected TO take possession of them.
But until this incident occurred it was not
known that anybody was so foolish as 10
carry several hundred dollars in the band
of a hat. where 1t could be scattered to
the four points of the compass with the
greatest ease and CELEBRITY, in case that
happened which did happen, and the WIND
was Unexpectedly strong.
The moral Of this is that il it is really
desirable to put money in uEorthodox
places instead of in banks. safety deposit
vaults. and other repositories especially
constructed TO keep it safe, some sense
should be exercised il the choice of such
hiding places. Bank notes. being perish

for such concealmeut. If it is desired to

TIC rhreasened Coal strike.

The Administration press is making it
self ridiculous by assertions that the
threatened strike of the anthracite coal
miners in Pennsylvania is due to political
instigation- The millionaire operators can
easily avert e difficulty which certainly
would be damaging to the party of trusts
and monopOlies, by conceding the very
moderate and equitable demands of the
men. They can stop charging the latter
TWO and a quarter dollars per key for
powder, the retail market price of which
is one dollar and fifty cents. They can
stop the outrage of the payment of wages
at long intervals under the truck system.
They can also allow the miners to share
a little in their own great Mckinley
prosperity
The operators are making more money
than ever before. The operatives are pay
ing thirty per cent more for the necessa-
ries of life than they did two years ago.
and their wages are just six per cent
higher than they were then. In the face
Of such conditions it is simply silly to
talk about design to help the Demo
cratic ticket by precipitating strike If
the bosses viii oondescend to do even half
way justice. there will be no strike.

Mclaughlin ControIs.-Beyond the

patent fact nat the Hon. Hugh McLaugh
lin now controls the situation. nothing
can be asserted of the Democratic gGber-
material muddle in New York II is. of
course. significant that Croker should deny
the truth of the statement that a week
or so ago he desclared that any good up
State man would suit him for Governor.
but that he was not in favor Of taking
the candidate from Greater New York
Croker did make this statement. but 1t
is LIS privilege. under the political code,
to reoudiate it if it suits his purpose to
do 90. His reputation seems 10 indi-
cate that he is veering around toward
a Greater New York man, which means
that realizing that Mclaughlin has the
whip hand he does not want TO get on

present situation If Mclaughlin should
declare for ColeT Croker might find it
convenient to Teassert his position for
ANY good upstate man long enough to
enable him to make terms with McLaugh-
lin On the other hand, it begins to look
as though Croker would be satisfied to
stand by his reputation if Mclaughlin
should see fit to pick the Hon. Edward NJ
Shepard At one time Shepard and Nc
LaughIin were on very friendly terms but
they drifted apart several years ago. 1t
Is believed, however. that with the pros
pect of victory ahead of them they could
get together again. Mr.. Shepard is to the
Democracy of New York largely what the
Hon. EIihu Root is to the Republicanfsm
of the State. That is TO say, he repre-
sents the extreme silk-stocking element
Like Mr. Root in another particular.
Mr.. Shepard also is attorney for
some OF the largest and most
powerful corporations in the State,
among others a portion of the Sugar
Trust II is thought that through these
connections he could easily finance The
campaign as the partys candidate for Gov
ernoT, and that, besides he would attract
to the ticket, national as we'll as State, a
considerable part of the Independent vote.
At the same time. he is of that character
that might make the machine men feel
uneasy about taking him up lest after his
election he would repudiate the machine
In this view of the case it is not unlikely
that somebody like Judge Earl may IN
the end go off with the gubernatoriaI
prize. In their confidence of being able &c
defeat Odell with any clean Democrat, it is
considered probable that the machine man
ayers win feel more secure in their position
and will insist upon nominating a candi-
date on whom they could assuredly depend
after his election. However Mr. Nc
Laughlin will return to Brooklyn today FOR
a conference with his lieutenant5. after
which he viii probably go over TO New
York to consult with Croker and Murphy
At these conferences it is expected that
the work for the Saratoga Convention will
be cut out and that something definite
will be announced in few days.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Startling Quay Run:oF.-A Pennsyl-

able plan the Quay people have adopted
as a dernier resort to defeat the election
OF an anti-Quay Republican to the Senate
Badly stated the plan is for the Quay
forces in the Legislature at Harrisburg
next winter to ioin with the Democrats
and elect the Hon James NJ. Guffey, Dem
ocratic National Committeeman, to sue
coed Mr.. Quay. Governor Stone of Penn
syIvania was in Washington last week.
and it was while he was here that the
plan is alleged to have been finally de-
cided upon. The Quay people justify
themselves in this position on the plea
that the insurgents are now cooper
ating with the Democrats in various ieSls-
latiye districts in Pennsylvania IN the
nomination OF anti-Quay candidates, and
that the insurgents" themselves are set
ting the example for the coup which Mr.
Quay viii make ii. when the Legislature

elected The contention Of Quays sup
that the Insurgents for years have been
striving TO disrupt the party organlza-
ton in the State. that MIR. Quay formed

increased Republican majorities in Penn

Norton and the surrounding counties
may make the fusion dealers some trou-
BILE before the campaign is ended, unless
the Democrats can be induced to refrain
from insisting that the congressional
nomination in the Sixth district be ac-
corded that party.
Some of the Populists who have
boonls in safe keeping ready for ex-
posure at the proper time think the
Democrats have already been conceded
an equitable share of the offices.
These phases of the political situations
In the Sixth have caused some compile
cations which may furnish some ex-
cltement in the coming campaign.
The Democrats have called their con-
vention for Colby April ?. The Popu-
list convention is called for the same
place the day following. The Demo-
Gratis have been working to secure a
Populist endorsement of a Democrat for
congress Working on this plan the
Democrats say they will nominate their
candidate April 2 and expect a PopuIist
endorsement April 3.
II this be done, snap judgment take1s

action, the Populists threaten to NOM

trlct but three-cornered fight elected
w. A. Reeder, Republican, and the
same fight this year might mean the
reelection of Reeder.
Congressional affairs in the Sixth are
much complicated at this time Mr..
Reeder recently made a very amusing
speech in congress. He did this to
make showing before the convention
at which he expects to be renominated-
The speech has called forth all sorts Of
criticisms, Reeder's party papers de-
nouncinS him rOundly for it and sug-
gesting that he employ a stenographer
to write a speech for him.
There is a rumor of an effort to NOM
fnate a new man in the convention next
Saturday but the Reeder men will prob
ably saddle him upon the people for an
other trial.
The Democrats demand the nomina-
tion of TuIly Scott The Populists in
sist upon Dr. J. B. Dykes of Lebanon.
The indications are now that these two
men will be in the race.
