VALUABLE VASES SEIZED.

Now in Hands of Customs
Officers IL, -

Two Chinese vases, worth $4,000,
were seized by the customs officers at
New York on the French line pier for
alleged evasion of the. customs law.
The vases were the property of NJ. De
Mahlherbe, a Partisan dealer. The
vases are superb specimens of the work
OF an ancient dynasty. ....o..,-... ..s,,.
The authorities learned in some man

to the city from China via Vancouver
and Quebec and located them at a stor-
age warehouse. NJ. De Malherbe ex-
hibited them at that place to several
collectors, it is said, and asked $4,000
for the pair. The vases were removed
a few days ago.
An inspector learned that M. De
Malherbe had secured passage on La
Bretagne, intending to go with his
vases to France. They were seized just
before the ship sailed. M. De Malherbe
admitted importing the vases from
China. He expressed himself as great

but he is still without an ice machine,
with the hot weather almost at hand.
The steam saWmill has been erected,
and was ready for work a telephone
system had been installed, and was in
successful operation between Agana,
the capital, and Pitt, the port. The off.
GERS of the Yosemite were still engaged
on the Typographical survey of the
island, which would be finished in
few months. In fact, all was well at
Guam, and life there would be perfect
with a refrigerating plant and good
library.
The tabulated enumeration of the
population of Guam has been forward
ed by the secretary of the navy to the
director of the census, to be included
in the total of the United States. It
shows that Guam had a population Of

JESUS TO AGRIPPA.
3DiscoveryQf Alleged Correspondence
Between the King and Christ.


The London Express produces 3
facsimile and official translation OF
the correspondence between Jesus
Christ and King Agrippa, said to have
been verified by recently discovered
inscrip tion on the gateway Of an old
palace at Ephesus.
The letters in Syro- Chaldaic charac-
tiers to which the inscription refers
were originally discovered beneath a
stone at q spot about 81 miles from the
City Iconium "A. D. 81. The authentic
ity OF these letters was doubted By
Pope Gelasius and during the pontiif
cate of Leo III. were declared to be-
spurius.
Abgarus is identical with King
Agrippa, and tradition affirms that
Christ sent st. Philip to heal the sick
king.
Prof. George R. NJ. Murray, keeper
of the department OF botany in the
British museum, when questioned by
the cores ondent Of the press regard
ing the reported rediscovery, after be-
ing lost for more than 900 years, by
Prof. Heberdey, of letters alleged to
have passed between Christ and King
Agrippa, and to have been carved in
stone over the gateway OF the palace
Of the kings Of Ephesus, says:
There is no doubt that the inscrip-
ton found at Ephesus is genuine
production Of the fifth century. Ger
tain Syrian documents, dated in the.
year 200 A. D., and giving almost the
same letters, have long been suspected
OF being literary forgeries. The dis.
covery of the stone tends to relieve this
suspicion and makes it tolerably GER
tain that as early as the second CEN
tury news of Christ's miracles had
spread to heather countries, and that
the early Christians believed that
Agrippa asked Christ to come to heal
him and that Christ replied.
The alleged answer is almost par
aphrase of much that is found in the
New Testament. Whether it was ac-
tually sent, or was the result Of a con-
tinuing tradition, transferred from
Papyrus to stone, is asquestion opening
too wide a field for a mere archaeolo-
gist. Many points in Prof Heberdey's
discovery, however, are most impor-
tant.'' 0

GET YOUR NAME ON REGISTER.

The poll books of the various
registrars throughout the county
show that a considerable portion
Of our voters have not yet recorded
their names. The number Of those
who are qualified to. vote if the
election occurred tomorrow is con
siderably smaller because the list
undoubtedly contains the names Of
many men and women who, since
they registered, have changed their
residence and are now living out
side the county. Therefore it is
certain that the total registration
is several hundred less than it
ought to be.
We urge upon every democrat,
every ipopulist and every silver re-
publican the necessity of register
ing for himself and seeing that his
neighbors and acquaintance are
registered. If you cannot do any
other work for your party, you can
at least do this, and it is no insig-
nihcant service.
Advices from the various pre-
cincts show that the republican
women have almost all registered,
while among the fusionists there is
apathy and neglect. Those who
espouse the cause of William lem
nings Bryan must be warned, or
they will find the polls closed to
them on November 9th. No patriot
can afford to lose his vote this year.
,Fusionists should exert themselves
strenuously every day from now
on until the end of November,
when the books will be closed, to
see that the full fusion vote is
registered.
This is no vague ard general
admonition, but it suggests a
present and importantduty to every
reader of.these lines.

Ito be expected that within a few
weeks houses connected with trusts

Mckinley is defeated. To offer a
citizen a means of livelihood If he W. II

to assure an employe that he will

tiOn. Both are crimes against free
government, and Imprisonment in the
penitentiary is too mild a punishment
for mlscreants who commit them.

SOME DIFFERENCES.

Here are the essential dulerehccs
between the organizations respectively
represented by PRESIDENT Mckinley
and Mr.. Brsdn;-,
One party favors large standing
armies, immense public expenditures,
government Of grandeur and mag
nficence, high protective tarills, a
British colonial policy, great comel-
nations OF corporate wealth and a
GENERALIZATION of power.
The other party favors continu-
,ance of the plain and simple govern
ment of our fathers, public expendi'
lures limited to the actual necessities
of the government, tariff taxation fol
public purposes only, an army fol
defense and not for conquest, coinpe-
tition in business free from monopo'
listic combinations. g
Which OF these does the citizen who
derives, no special advantage from
| legislation favor? Which should ht
| favor?

p
the county at the presenttime with
that Of January 9th, 1898, the time
whenF the last republican official
was ousted ffom pnblicsoffice. No
cheawiH deny'the Fact that the i'm
debtedness of the county at this
time is greater than it was on
January 9th, 1893. But why this
is true is easily explained. When
the auditor and treasurer made
their joint annual report on Jan-
uary 9th, 1893, the bulk of the
taxes for that year had already
been paid in, while at the present
time the taxes Of the county are
now due and will be paid in before
the 9th. Of next January, the date
on which the auditor and treasurer
will make their next annual report.
If Mr.. Whitaker wanted to be
| fair in the matter he would con
trast the annual report of 1898 with
\ that of 1899, but he is not doing
this. He is contrasting the report
of 1898 with the report OF the
auditor and treasurer for the third
quarter of 1900, or, in other words,
he is comparing the il Comes f,r
one year only with the expendi-
lures of twenty one months, and
because he finds the expenditures
greater than the incomes for that
period of time, he is telling the
taxpayers that they are being
swindled and robbed.
No one with any political honesty
would attempt to deceive the
people in such manner. The
only true comparison that can be
made must be made after the taxes
are collected for this year, when
the amount of the debt will be
diminished by the amount Of taxes
collected. Mr.. Whittaker's prop
osition is so thin that even a school,
boy can see through it,, and we
would advise him to devise some
other means of deceiving the
people if he wishes to make votes
for himself or his, party.

FALSE CAMPAIGN STATEMENTS.

,The orsfinary republican orator
seems to have profound confidence
in the ignorance OF his hearers.
He seems TO think that nothing is
to5 gross or Improbable for his
auditors to swallow. Thus, for
example. we find w. +. Whitaker,
republican nominee for state SEN
ator, man who has never paid
one dollar in taxes in this county,
telling his hearers at the meetings
he is now holding how they are
being imposed upon by fusion
county officials, and why they
should elect republicans to Office
in order to have a just and econo-
mical management Of county affairs.
He is attempting to deceive his
hearers, and before he completes
his tour Of the county he will find
his statements challenged by all
men who have lived in the county
long enough to become identified
with its interests. re p
In his mad attempt to show that
the debt.o fthe.countyhas increased
under the fusion administration, he
is comparing the indebtedness of
