He was to carry a bag containing $500

men in civilian clothes in Riverside Park

restored IL TO him.
The next day Dr. Peters received an
other letter, giving an explanation OF the
failure To appear and fixing yesterday as

at another place. Again the police laid
plans to trap the man. but tho plans
were spoiled by the publication of the
facts.
DR.. Peters has six children-three boys

Capt. Schmtberger, who is devoting his

New York. Jan. 2.-Some enemy is re-
lentlessly, pursuing the Rev. DIR. John
p. Peters. rector of st. Michael's Protest
ant Episcopal church, at NiHety-HiHth-
street and Amsterdam avenue.
The latest manifestation of the hatred
of this person, whose identity is be-
lieved to be known by DR.. Peters and the
police. is an attempt to extort $500 under
a threat to kidnap the clergyman's
daughter, Viola, years old.
Dr. Peters lives in three-story frame
house n No. 227 West Ninety-ninth
street, adjoining the church. He report
ed TO the police on Nov. 13 last that a
package containing what appeared to be
an internal machine had been delivered
at the rectory By an expressman.
At the bureau of combustibes the pack
age was found 10 contain only a harm

sawdust
Henry III. Mallory, of No. 800 Columbus
avenue, a discharged janitor of the
church, was arrested on suspicion, but re-
leased for lack OF evidence.

In late issue of the Commoner Mr.
little value to the extremely meager
information bearing on the question:
what is a democratic" He makes an
urgent plea for the continuance of
fusion between populists and demo-
Gratis. He says that they are separat-
ed only by the difference of opinion
as to the redeemability of green
backs and the government ownership
of railroads. He declares that for the
present united effort ''to save the
greenbacks" is necessary, and that
differences of opinion can be settled
later. Cooperation between populists
and democrats must continue, the
only question being whether it shall
be between their separate party or
CARNATIONS or among individuals UNI
der one organization. This is ques-
tion," he declares, (which must be de-
termined largely by local conditions.

Mr.. Bryan's view, says the Albany
Journal, seems to be, then, that a
democrat iseither a populist adherent
of Organism or democratic ally of
populism; in other words, he is either
a popocrat or a demopop. From this
it might be inferred that if Mr. Bryan

unequivocal answer to the question

CAGES RETIREMENT.
Effective Work of the Secretary of
the Treasury by President
McIxinley's appointment.

The retirement of Secretary Gage
from the cabinet, which seems to
have been decided upon, will be Il
distinct loss to the country. His APP
pointment by President Mckinley at
the beginning of his first term was
universally regarded as an ideal one,
and went far toward establishing in
advance confidence in the financial
policy of the administration. Mr..
Gage had so high reputation as a
practical banker and financier that
it was felt that he would carry the
same conservatism into the manage
ment of government finances, and
that as long as he remained at the
head of the treasury department it
would be on the best of terms and
in close touch with the business in
terests of the country. This has
proved TO be the case. The secretary
has managed 4 number of important
financial operations very skillfully,
and, while recognizing his first duty
to the government, he has not for
gotten the close relations between
the treasury department and the
people and the duty of its head to
regard their interests as well. Close
adherence to these lines has made
his administration of the treasury
department remarkably successful
and has indicated the wisdom of
calling to that important position a
trained financier and business man
without any previous experience in
or knowledge of practical politics.
Until he became secretary of the
treasury Mr.. Gage had never held an
office, and no doubt his retirement
from that Office will be his retire
ment from public life. says the In
dianapolis Journal
An attempt will doubtless be made,
in fact, is already made, to create
an impression that his retirement is
due to friction between him and
President Roosevelt, but there is no
evidence of this nor any reason to
believe it. There is obvious reason
enough for his retirement in the fact
that, having held the position nearly
five years. he has already got out of
it all the fame and all the satisfac-
ton there is in it for him, and nat
urally desires to resume his original
and congenial vocation as Il banker.
From pecuniary point of view he
has doubtless made consiolera Bile
sacrifice every year he has held the
Office. He deserves we'll of the coun-
try and should carry with him into
private life the hearty approval and
good wishes of all the people.
