STANFORD PoRTkR ARRESTED.

 Light-Fingered.

Stamford, Nov. Policeman Tobias, who, for the past eight days was por- ter at the Suburban club, was arrested here to-day, following his refusal to leave the place and displaying a re- Wolver when given his discharge. Aft CT the arrest 1t was found that his trunk contained, 1t is said, property be- longing to members of the club and valued at between $40O and $500. To the police Tobias admitted taking most of the goods from the clubhouse. In his trunk also were a number of sur .gical instruments. Tobias stated that he bought them in New York, and that heis studying medicine He said he took wearing apparel of members of the club because he could not afford to buy clothing. Other articles found in the trunk were books, stationery, toilet ar- ticles, and a number of packages of im- ported cigarettes. Tobias is about twenty years old, and had letters of recommendation from a hospital and school in New York city, that from the latter recommending him highly for his work as a teacher in the school.

paid, representing the pecuninary sac rifice of the people of the South. In deed, the most careful and expert of statistieians cannot compute the full money cost of the Civil war.
 The vast expenditures of these years could not be met by any method known to the government of the United States. Robert Morris was accounted to have achieved great triumph when he sent Washington $500OO for his operations around TrentJn and borrowed $20OOO from Rochambeau to set tine ragged Continental army before Yorktown. stephen Gerand, another Philadelphia tfnancier, had assisted the government during the War of 1872, and Enoch w. Clark and Jay Cooke, of the same city, procured a few millions to aid the gov ernment in waging it's unrightour war upon Mexico.
 But this was as nothing in compar- ison with the great five-twenty loan and the seven-thity loan which, in the Civil war, Jay Cooke placed for Secre- taries Chase, Fessenden and McCullooh and the subsidiary operations which he undertook for the government. He sold bonds and Treasury notes when the de- partment and the Sub b-Treasures could not sell them, just as he could catch fish where others angled in vain. He surpassed all other bankers and brok- CTS whom the Secretaries tried, and they were always forced to return to him as the one man who could draw from the people the great sums daily needed to manage the war.
 The unalterable foe of the repudia- ton of any of the debt which he had been instrumental in distributing among the people, Jay Cooke was both a wholesome and potent influence in political and financial circles after the war had ended. He advocated the ear

THE TOWN HALL.

Who that has been raised under its influence can forget it's glories? It's walls have cradled and re-echoed the genius of our land, It has been the forum of the only genuine democracy. It has made our country all 1t is; it has been the inspiration and strength of our progress, the germs and building of all leadership, the ballast to the sail'' that Macaulay could not see in our institutions. There the people have grievances, defined all principles, clarified all problems, redressed all weighed every aspirant and set their seal on every fame
 The public mind brought squarely to bear upon a proposition burns up its dross as the sun does the miasma of a night One political repression in the cities has come from the absence of the town-hall principle and practice and the first step in reform must be its res toration Mrs Humphry Ward said: "A republic means discussion.'
 | In that, ours, has already passed it's trial and been found wanting The peo- pie will not apply the test, they are kept apart and away from the political can civic initiatives both by their love for money, society, ease and pleasure, and by the tricks of the politicians.

WHAT THE U. s. OWES TO JAY
 COOKE.

If the time ever comes when the his- tory of wars shall be written on their financial side, it will be more clearly understod how much armies and nav ies, too, often made the fulcrum of every calculation, must depend upon the energy, determination and strategy displayed in assembling the great sums of money needed in modern warfare. The world has grown larger in many ways, but forty years does not make Jay Cooke's task seem the less gigan- tie
 The American Civil war added to the debt of the Union nearly $2,O0O,OOo,OO exclusive of all that could be obtained by heavy ordinary and extraordinary taxes. We raised in fie years by long loans and virtually without foreign aid, almost as great a sum as Great Brit ain borrowed and put to her national account between the years l'9S and 1916, the period of her prolonged struggles with Napolean and her sec instrument till the powers or the re- ond war with the United States.

ERIE RAILROAD MEN
 UNANIMOUS FOR STRIKE
Continued from First Page.)

Continued from First Page.) formulated as a basis for a new con tract.
 The position of the Erie railroad in the present situation was outlined to- day in a message from J. c. Stuart, an inspection trip.
 '"The position taken by the Erie, '' explains MT. Stuart, 'is not one of re- fu:al. We ask the firemen for a post ponement until other matters connected with their requests, could be adjusted. The Erie is paying more than the aver age rate paid by trunk lines, that Is, by roads in the same territory as the Erie which it meets in competition. In his letter to MT Hannahan, President Underwood stated this desire of the company:
 "The Erie has been close to it's em- ployes, has given them every conces- sion that could be given and in other ways has shown its interests in their welfare. We are endeayoring to keep wages to the average despite the fact that the Erie is not a money making railroad as yet.
 We have told the firemen that we would pay them the average rate, which seems to us fair and just, but we are not in a position to establish a minimum Erie rate based on the max imum rates of other lines.'
 Grand Master Hannahan said to- night that he and two committees of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen would have a conference tomorrow with the officials of the New York Gen. tral and the New York, New Haven and Hartford.

The big military ball given Mon
day night by Company G, N. G. l.,
was without question the largest
social gathering ever seen in
Grangeville. The big new Armory,
with dancing floor space of over
1000 square feet, was beautifully

welt and Mckinley on either side.
On the walls among the decorations
hung pictures of the officers of the
Idaho regiment and the roster OF
the Grangeville company that went
to the Philippines.
There were about 1876 tickets

In the death Of Jacob Chamber
lain the fast. dropping ranks Of
Idaho county pioneers has suffered
another loss. He came to the
county in 1866, when the country
was still in its virginia. freshness
from the hands of nature, and en-
gagged in the butchering business at
Warren with the late James Crooks.
He located and improved the
Chamberlain ranch on Salmon
river, and in the Indian outbreak
of 1877 his place was devastated,
his property burned and his cattle
killed, and like other sufferers
from the same source he never re.
ceived a cent of recompense from
the government for his losses, and
the obligations Incurred in rebuild
ing his home kept him q poor man
for the rest of his days. In 1880
he was elected auditor and recorder
and filed the Office efficiently for
the term, and returned to Warren
where he resided for many years,
until q few years ago he was ap-
pointed deputy supervisor OF the
Bitter Root forest reserve. This
promised to be a life position, but
in his sterling integrity he opposed
the grating methods Of an official
superior and in due course suffi-
cient influence was brought to bear
to secure his removal and retire
ment to private life.
} Mr.. Chamberlain was born in the
province of Ontario, Canada, but
came to the United States at an
early age. He was . man OF very
strong convictions and Of unbend'

busiest place in town during the
last week of the year and on Fri.
day and Saturday nearly $4,000
in tax money was secured. Two
weeks ago it was thought the de-
linquent list would be much larger

during the last week will make it
very small, in all probability much
less than ten per cent which is
about the usual amount.
