Bank Officials Arrested.

Cleveland, O., December 4.-As the re- suit of the extended conference between the United States district attorney and bank examiners who have been looking into the affairs of the failed Citizens bank of Oberlin and their council, Pres ident T. c. Breckwith, and Cashier Spear of that bank were placed under arrest late tonight by United States Mar snal Chandler of Cleveland at their homes in Oberlin. The arrests of the two men are in connection with the Chadwick case. The Citizens bank is an alleged creditor to the extent of S240OOO of Cassie l.. Chadwick, whose financial af- fairs during the past week have been the cause of great deal of publicity. The bank is capitalized at but $60,00O Since the disclosure of the banks dealings with Mrs. Chadwick the president, cashier and directors have held confer ences and meetings frequently. All the time there has been expressed by Pres ident Breckwith at least a hope of re- imbursement of the banks loan to Mrs. Chadwick, but so far as known no remit tance has been received. President Breckwith has been in a state bordering on physical collapse for nearly a week, and for the past three of four days has been confined to his bed. He has expressed the most sincere regret over the out come of the banks dealings with Mrs. Chadwick, but has given no intimation as to why such great sums of money have been loaned from the bank to Mrs. Chadwick
 The warrants on which Breckwith and Spear were arrested charge them with violation of the federal banking laws.
 Nathan Loeser, receiver for Mrs Chad wick's property, said tonight that he would qualify in that office tomorrow morning

Eugene A. Phi1bin.

New York, Aug. 16-Ex-District At
torney Eugene A. Philbin, recognized
gold Democratic leader in New York, Is
out for Roosevelt. In explaining his po-
sition he said with regard to Roosevelt's
devotion to duty:
''Those who are forced to admit that
Roosevelt's course during the last three
years has been conservative insist that
this was because he was a candidate for
reelection all this time and that when
he is elected by voice of the people he
will take different course.
MY personal acquaintance with
Roosevelt leaves me in no doubt re-
garding his attitude in that respect. He
has at all times shown a willingness to
sacrifice personal policy for the public
good and great devotion to duty. He is
also a shrewd politician, and to be that
he must be possessed with the necessary
sagacity to manage our foreign rela-
tions so that our interests will be best
subserved."

and unqualified support to the Repubif-
can national ticket. The Pilot seems
to be moved mainly by Its approval and
admiration of President Reosevelts pub
lie acts In his twenty years Of public
life. It declares that mo man can point
to a single act of his, public or private,
influenced by prejudice of race ef creed
or eeleF except prejudice ia favor Of the
poor, the oppressed or the despised:"
The change In the party alignment OF
this influential Irish-Ameriean Journal Is
significant. 1t is an instance and evil
dence of the change which has been ge-
ing on fer twenty years which has Oh
yided between two great political parties
the Irish Catholic vote, which formerly
was almost selidly Democratic. The
Democratic party was well served by the
Know-Nothlng craze which swept the
country fer very brief period fifty years
ago. This drove the fefe1gn-born voters,
the great majority Of whom at that time
were Irish Catholics, into the Democratic
party because it was opposed to the
Know Nothings. When the organization
and ideas Of the latter disappeared from
the face of the earth the Democratic
party retained the advantage which 1t
had gained. and the new immigrants nat
urally joined the political organization
to which their friends and the other
members of their race belonged. A
great many Irishmen broke away from
their old moorings and voted for Blaine
in 1884, and have remained with the
Republican party ever since. These Will
vote for Roosevelt this year, and the
Boston lot points out why other Irish
Americans should do the same thing.
The Iris has a race have fourished and
grown strong In this country. They have
improved their condition in many ways.
They have gained wealth. They have
displayed a genius for politics and have
found here their opportunity to make the
most of it. A generation ago they were
making our railroads and doing the
rough and heavy work of the country
generally. Now immigrants from the
south and east Of Europe fill the role Of
day laborers for the most part, while the
Irish are more likely to be found super
intending the job They have prospered
and grown with the growth Of the coun-
try, and as they perceive that this coun-
try has been for over forty years, ex-
cepting a very brief interval, under the
sway and dominated by the policies of
the Republican party, it is not surprising
that intelligent Irishmen are joining the
party under whose rule they have profit
ed SO greatly.
There are many good reasons why
Irishmen should vote the Republican ma
tional ticket The Pilot, however, lays
most Of its stress on one consideration,
which is that the candidate of the Repub-
lican party, Theodore Roosevelt, sis no
fair weather friend, no favorer of any
class or creed or race, but just man
and safe one to trust in storm or
calm"

clearly and conclusively that the reclama-

when it could not have been passed with

Difference in the Methods of RooseveIE
and Parker. i
Theodore Roosevelt has not yet found
it necessary to send any kilograms to
political leaders explaining his position
on questions of public policy. He stands
on platform without any >trapdoOry-
He doesn't have to give his personal
guaranty that his party VIII be pre-
vented from following along the path
way of national dishonor. There Mss
never yet been a time when the people
of the United States Gid not know ex-
actly where to find Theodore Roosevelt
on any matter of public interest. He
has never concealed his views. He has
never hid from the political census taker;
he has never lacked the courage of his
convictions; and he has never, since his
boyhood, hasftated to take his fellow
men into his confidence. The openness
of RooseYelt's character and the Sc
cretiveness of that of Parker, the direct
ness of the methods of the one and the
indirectness of the other seem likely to
be made important issues in the cam
paign. This peculiarly of the honest in
dividuality of Theodore Roosevelt was
best expressed by Senator Beverage
when he said, ''The American people
frank themselves, demand frankness in
their servants. No mystery was ever

Muskegon, Mich, Aug. 1.-THE
Muskegon News, which since its first
issue forty-nine years ago has upheld
Democratic principles, has announced
that henceforth it will be Republican
paper. Supplementary to the announce
ment of the change Henry VANITY, the
publisher, former Democratic State COM
mitteeman and a lifelong Democrat, an
Eounced that he had joined the Republi-
can ranks.
The News in explanation for its ac-
ton says: '"This change Of policy comes
from a conviction that the Democratic
party Of to-day is not the Democratic
party Of the days gone by; from the be-
lief that the domination of that party
as at present constituted in the nation
would not be conducive to the best In
terests Of the people, and from the con-
viction that the supremacy Of the Repub-
lican party is necessary to national de-
velopment."
