InterOcean (fop.) -- S3j?S3 And all the fault of the blundering Republican obstructionists of,the3Ia-t Lgls lätnreT Why don't you "show 'emupf " I "Earcx Case gave thehole anap'a way.'1 Journal Reporter. ihe "snap" was to misrepresent the State cf Indiana's finances and the condition ct her treasury, so that her credit abroad would be effected and then with brazen effrontery endeavor to place the entire blame upon the Democratic State ofniers. The Sentinel exposed the'rascally schema yesterday morning, and demonstrated beyond a doubt that the present condition of the treasury was directlTf.tr aceable to Gavernor Porter and the Republican House of the last Legislature. It ia unfortunate for the tax-payers that Michener and Carr raped tie Treasury of a large sum of money to pay a republican mendicant to whom the state did not owe a farthing. Governor Gray oaht to put a quietus upon that sort of a thing. There is no telling to what extent the Treasury may be debauched If Republican impostors and mendicants are to be supportel upon warrants drawn npon it ia the interest of such hash fiends as Robertson. It Js known that Bruce Crr railed the State Treasury, in the interest of old R bertsoQ, a miserable pretender to an office to which he has no constitutional claim, and therefore ro claim at all, to the'pxteut of more than $500. This preten ler Robert son never 2ive a minute's service to tue State. Any hatless, shoeless bergr la Iadiara h&i as much risht to the money a r.obert30D, and this is the way tue State moce 7 is eoiHE while under control or a Republican gang of Tree booter3. Taki.vg Into coaV.deraoa ths depleted cordiJonof the State Treasury geaerat fund, a more infamauaraid was never mvie npon the peoples' money than that perpet rated bv Braes Carr upon tas opinion of Multitudinous Opinion Michener. A miser able Republican mendicant an 1 Impostor demands dsv for services never rendered and for which Brocs Cirr, a Rjpublicau of ficial, draws his warrant, and the money is drawr. Paid in defunca of law, paid ia defiance of all propriety an outrage, such as was never before perpetrated ia the history of the State. And this traasactioa is a fair specimen ol Republican financierinj?. I r the Republican 8 ;ate Treasurer con tinues to honor the warrants of the Repub lican State Auditor, driwn upon such lair as a Republican Attorney oenerai manu facturers in his bick office, it muht be well for Governor Gray to have the books ex am iced to see how far this Republican drawirg and paying business has gone since the Republican gang took hol4. There ought to be seme way to pat an end to such practice, which if continued, would at no distant date, not only Bank rupt the general fund, but any other fund. The Governor ought to call a halt on Michener and Carr. l5DiA!TAroU8. Ikd., Aug. 23. Ia exam ining the books of his Democratic prede cetsor, State Auditor Carr yesterday discovered that in order to met demmdjon an exhausted general fund, tc. (Dispatch to a Republican paper.) The State Auditor is "examining the books," is he, and he is 'discovering" somelhiDg? He is doing tclb.bg of the kind. lie knows iiothice about his books, or anything about the situation of the state's finances he never did know. We will wager a Eickel that Le does not know the dläerccce between a state bond and a discharge rarer of the Intune HoepitaL The truth Is that an adroit member of one of the Lunurous local Republican gangs of this county is wonklcg the Auditor's books for Old campaign chestnuts used In lso, and warmed over for pretsn? publication In the Juarnal. Thai, it is hoped by the shrewd meg of Republicans, who man'palate matters hereabouts, that the true Cawes or depleted Slate Treasury will bs

covered np and that the refusal of the late Republican House to consider the loan bill paceed by the Democratic Senate to relieve the present stress of the State Treasury,

will be forgotten. If the State Auditor had been examining the books and preparing himself for the responsibilities of the offics last winter instead of heading a mob of of Republican toughs to beat down the doors of the Senate chamber, "he would be better equipped to-day for the duties of an office that he is no more fitted for than one of the average lunatics under Dr. Fletcher's care. The remainder of the Republican State officials and all about of the same general calibre. As an observing citizaa remarked the other day, "They are certainly the thinnest set of fellows that the people of Indiana ever sent up to the cap ital." This is no fanciful sketch. The State Fair usually attracts large numbers of the good people of Indiana to the capital and the season is now near at hand. We invite them during their visit to "take in" the State House and gaze upon the late collection made there by the Republican party. We will venture to say that crazy quills, over-grown pumpkins, moostosities of the farm and field, attractions of coop, pen and stall will all pale into utter insignificance before the dazzling spectacle of materialized Republicanism that will meet their gaze in the new capital of Indiana. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND WORKING MEN. No one denies that the Democratic party from the first, always, without deviation without variableness or shadow of turning. baa been the working man's party, and has been profoundly interested in the welfare of working men. The interest taht the Democratic party hu taken in the welfare of working men, has not been spasmodic fitful, variable, Irregular, but steady, constant and conscientious. We challenge the record, every page luminous with the facts as we state them. It could not, in the na ture of things, bs otherwise. The great majority of the Democratic party has always been poor men, working men, not millionaires, not aristocrats, not men wbo accumulated wealth by monopolistic methods, railroad wrecking, land grabbing, stock and bond gambling, land stealing fcc Such things have distinguished the Repub lican party and in other days, the Whig party. Andrew Jackson saw the tendency of the times, when he laid his magisterial hand on the United States bank and crush ed a stupendous monopoly. The Democratic idea Is the equitable distribution of the wealth which labor creates. The Democratic party adopts the declaration that all wealth, all revenues are derived from labor, and this being true, labor should be fairly remunerated. The light of labor to organize to promote its welfare, is not only conceded but advocated. Democrats believe that such organizations are prudential and in consonance with Democratic policy and good government. The question arises, what are the prime objects of labor organizations? A gsneral reply would be the welfare of their mem bers. But, to be more specific, many of the labor organizations are benevolent in character they are a kind of Ufa health insurance associations. They iuuo and pay death, disability, and sickness policies. In many of these organizations the most rigid examinations are practiced only men of good sound moral character are initiated. The demand is that the members shall be sober and industrious, that they shall be skilled in their trade or calling, that they shall appreciate the weight and worth of their obligation and Bhall be in all regards eood citizens. Manifestly these labor organizations are profoundly interested In the matter of wages. They demand fair pay for a fair day's work. To this the Democratic party dees not object indeed, it is and has been the battle cry of the Democratic party nor is there anywhere on record a particle of evidence to the contrary. To assnma that the Democratic party has at any time, any where, been opposed to fair pay for fair, honest work, is a monstrous libel known to be such by all men who are capable of discussing labor problems. But it may be asked, who shall deter mine what is a fair day's work, and what is a fair price for a fair day'a work? These have been the serious questions, the difficult questions, and in settling them many serious controversies bave arisen and it is useless to tay they have been outside of the domain of party polities' nojpoliHeal party ever sought to regu late the price of labor and a moment' reflection is sufficient to dismiss the proposition. But there aie instances where workiogmen have fixed the prices for their work,!they bave selected their work, ebenen the fields of labor, and then selected the prices for which they would perform certain services. Haling the kind of work they perform and receiving the wages which they lave determined as equitable, as also the time of payment, the qae3tion arises, if tM employer acceeds to these demands, and meets tbem promptly.what occasion is there for complaint? The Democratic party, if it was continually in cession, would be unable to discover a grievance. It would seem that in such cases entire harmony should prevail between employer and employe, or to use a common phrase, between "capital and labor." It would seem that woiklngmen themselves hal d termined what was their equitable share of the wealth they created, and having de termined that moat vital of all questions relating to labor it would seem that they had achieved a notable victory. PENSIONS AND PARTIES. From time to time a C3rtaln class of Republican nincompoops teek to make it appear that the Republican party saved the Union. It has as often been shown that these ninnies Rrepublican noodles lied, and proof of their mendacity has been voluminous and conclusive. Quite recent ly statistics relating to the subject were published showing that Democratic counties in Illinois lurntsbad the largest per cent, of soldiers for the late war, and now the figures relating to pensions prove be yond all controversy that Democratic counties in Indians, havlnz br far the largtst number of pensioners, furnished as in Illinois, the largest number of sol diers. Taking the vote of 1831 for Cleve land and jxaiaa as a basis it win bs seen

that the Democratic counties have 15,906 pensioners, while Republican counties have only 12lCG9 pensioners, a difference in favor of the Democratic counties of 3,237, And. thus it happens that one by one, as the years go by, the miserable superstructure of lies which the Republican party built as a refuge, is torn down by the ceaseless assaults of truth which, for a time, was crushed by the Republican party, but which now is asserting its power because "The eternal years of G 3d are hers." The verdict of the; American people, siac9 the days when the Republican party reached the climax of its power, has often been rendered. They have heard Republican orators and editors extol the Republican party and denounce the Democratic party, and then they have voted, and every time the Republican party has been pronounced a lying party a viciously corrupt party and finally it has reached such soundless depths of Infamy that it is known as ths assassination party. The facts with regard to pensions in Indiana is another nail driven into the coffin of the venomous thing which, though it can still rattle with its tail, is harmless because the Democratic party has extracted its fangs.

THE WOMAN QUESTION. The woman question, though often, and all too often treated flippantly, has a significance which touches as no other question touches the very foundations of society. It is not a question of suffrage of woman's political rights but it is a question of work and wages breaj, clothing, shelter a question of living, and as such it challenges the acumen of the best thinkers of the times. It is not often that the surroundings of working women get to the public eye and ear, but occasionally the story is told, and becomes; the sensation for an hour or day, like a railroad disaster, and is forgotten. It is fortunate, it is one of ;th things for which all people should thank God, and take courage, that the woman question in its hideous aspects relates to the condition of women in the great cities, that in the rural districts, in God's beautiful farm land, where the brooks dance and langh, where the birds sing, where the flowers bloom, where the blue sky is not obscured by smoke, where there are forest shades, fields of growing, ripening grain, where the tasseled corn and the bearded wheat and grazing herds beautify the landscape, women are free from the thousand curses peculiar to the great center; of population. The Chicago Inter-Ocean, in fa recent Issue, publishes glimpses of the life working women lead In that great'eity of wealth and poverty, of virtue and vice, of brilliant light and shadows as dark as those which deepen the gloom in the valley of death. It is said there are 75,000 workingwomen employed in Chicago in all classes of work. About 20,000 of this number are engaged as domestic servants. The laundries cf the city take 2,000 more. The stores and offices employ fully 3,000 females. There are 20,000 females engaged aa tailoresses, dressmakers, milliners and seamstresses generally. The remaining 30,000 females are engaged in all manner of work. It is stated that the aristocrat of the girls is the saleswoman or clerk, and that the scald runs down to the girls who sort rags and do other unhealthy work, and it is said that in the employment of males there is a proportionate increase of wages for work that is unhealthy, but for the girls, this is denial. Wages range from $12 a week down to $5, though a great majority of work girls in Chicago receive less than $5 a week, and this small wages paid the girls is altogether insufficient for their proper, decent, honest mamtalnence, and from this fact another evil arises, and it is in the direction of vice, a fact which an incident related by he Inter-Ocean Samaritan reporter, brings vividly to light, and which is rendered all the more repulsive because of the intimation that employers are aware of consequences and wink at it, indeed approve it. The story is tol d of a young girl from a country town who sought employment in a Chicago retail store. Luckly says the Inter-Ocean, she had friends in Chicago with whom she made her home. Iu her quest for employment she went to a store where large numbers of girls were engaged as salesladies. She saw the proprietor himself and he was pleased with her appearance, and pronvsed to give her a situation as clerk. She asked mm wn at wages sae wouia re ceive, 1 and he told her that $3 would be the amount per week she would receive for the first few months. She said that it was very small pay for ten hours' woik per day. Her board was $3 per week, and her car fare CO cents more; her washing would cost 50 cents, and she could not dress herself on the balance. Tbe proprietor remarked that she must look elsewhere for her dresses, and then pointed to a brazen-faced girl who was flashily dressed and said: "Sue is dressed fiae enough, ain't she?" Well, all I pay her is (5 per week, and she does not complain." It would be difficult, we th ink to recite an incident more essentially in famous on the part of an employer, and such moral and mental deformities are al together too numerous for the well being of society. It seems that Chicago has a Protective Agency for women and chil dren, and Mrs. Mary Dye, Clerk of the a sociasion, discusses the wrongs of working women as follows: The man who means to get his living out of other people is qu'cx enougn to see that it is safer for Mm to cneat ten employes out of $5 each than to defraud a wealthy customer of $50. Tbe chattel mortpsge nend ana tne sewing machine robber never disturb the millionaire. The rich man's wealth protects Mm against great extortions, and his influence and power, the value of his patronage, and the fearcf his report, practicallv insure him against small attempts to defraud. Bat when a rascal wishes to filch a few dollars from the scanty earnings of a poor woman, he knows that all the chances are ia his favor. What can a poar .i.uvi do? Sbe calls again, taking long walk after working hoars or soendiog raw money for cir-fre. FinslJy sh sees t tbe eflort is useless. 8he d9ij'-, ei Without sugar in her tea, or leaves hr b i another month without ili 3 for lt? of tbe icanty pittance whlh has gi'M in. tbe sharper's pocket. Here tbe 'dmidl.v igency steps in and daas tbd deliaqisut or sues the sharper. The cafes brought to ligt br the InterOcean are In many Install most crael nd revolting. Bat philanthropic women

are at work to bring about a better condition of things for working women in Chicago, and in every great city in the country similar efforts should be put forth to rescue working women and girls from want consequent upon wages which are not sufficient for even a mean support, from degradation, certain to follow where grasping, heartless villainy holds stray over the lives of the unfortunates.

STATE FINANCES. The Philadelphia Times remarks: "They haven't a dollar in the State Treasury of Indiana." This statement ia not all truth, nor yet ill falsehood, but the Times uses it as if it were all truth, and yet the Times makes it for an exceedingly discreditable purpose, nothing more or less, as Is shown, by lugging in the name of Senator Voorhees, than to injure the Democratic party, and to the extent of its inflaence to injure the financial standing of the State of Indiana, intimating that an empty Treasury is the Indiana idea. There are newspapers, plenty of them, which delight In misrepresentation which live, move, and have their being In the foul, murky atmosphere of slander, but the Philadelphia Times has aspired to respectability and decency, and we have supposed it to be incapable of resorting to falsehood to vent its spite toward a state or any of its distinguished citizens. Tbe State of Indiana is ju3t now financially embarrassed because of a failure on the part of its late Legislature to pass certain bills to provide against the financial difficulties now existing, and which it was clearly seen would arise, and which were distinctly pointed out. The Indiana Idea, that is to say, the Indiana Democratic idea, was to provide against any financial embarrassments in conducting the State government. The Democrats In the late Legislature were neither Jblind to nor unmindful of any State interest requiring money, and bills providing for every emergency were introdncd and passed by the Senate, in which body Democrats were in the majority. The House was controlled by Republicans, and the entire weight of the responsibility for any financial embarrassment which the State now labors under, is chargeable to the Republican party. From this responsibility the Republican partyds without the means of eecepe. The statement is absolutely true; and since the Democratic Senate could not control the Republican House, no responsibility whatever attaches either to Democrats or to the Democratic party. The Indianapolis Journal utterly regard less of truth, preferring falsehood to fict, makes a weak attempt to show that under Democratic management certain funds were drawn npon, or overdrawn, etc., all of which is the very climax of purility. It had previously sought by malicious men dacity to embarasa tbe State financially by the most wanton attacks npon the State Treasurer, and ita recent efforts to shift the responsibility of the financial condition of tbe State upon Democrats, or npon the Democratic party, is simply another instance of total disregard of truthfulness. It should be said, because it can be truthfully asserted, that no State in the Union bas a better credit than Indiana, nor does any State more promptly meet all of its obligations and notwithstanding the financial perplexities and difficulties which the State government Is experiencing no permanent injury will result, and In due time the party which brought them upon the State will be exiled from any participation in St ate affairs. PENSIONING SOLDIERS; There was a time, not long ago, when the existence, the life, of the Union trembled la the balance. The questioa was: "Save the Union!" The cry rang oat from the Pine Tree State to the Goldea Gate Stve the Union! Who saved the Union? Who brought back the "erring S;ate3" to their allegiance? Who gave us back the Union, one and indivisible? The sjldierj of the Union Army the private soldiers, the "boys in blue," the men of the knapsack, of the gun, of the canteen the boys who tramped, who watched, who fought aot only those who were wounded, not only those who were killed, but those who met the storms of fire and lead and iron, and survived. What was the union worth? To hear some blatherskites talk about pensioning survivors, it might ba thought that only the dead and wounded saved the union that there is absolutely no debt of gratitude due those who marched and fought and eurvived, who were neither killed nor crippled. Tne Indianapolis News has been conspicuoua in opposing anything like a liberal pension policy. Any one to read - its drivel upon the subject might prudently conclude that it feels the crushing burden of taxation consequent upon the payment of pensions to the men who saved the union. Here is a speeim n of its vaporing: The most active "protective" influence and the most difficult to encounter is that which joins the clamor of agents and acheemers for universal pensions. Not the help that goes to the needy or the disabled, to which nobody objects, bat the payment of publio money to everybody, sick or well, strong or weak, old or young, crippled or whole,wbo entered the government service during the war. In entering the government service dur ing the war was unlike entering any other service daring the war. Ia entering the government service, the man, old or younr, took his life in his hands. lie went forth to perform a duty, ia which, if successful, no amount of money he could hope for, from his government, could ever reduce by the fraction of a farthing, the debt of gratitude his country owed him. The pay be received, together with all ;the bounties bestowed npon him, was no proper compensation for the services rendered his country. Bat sheets, like the Indianapolis News, 're of the opinion that Union soldiers, if they escaped wounds and eickaess, if thsy were not killed in battle, ahoa'd be oaUnt witti what they have received for their seryic33 in saving the Utii ui. Bach opposition t pensioning soldiers sbos very conclusively the estimate those who iuda'xe in each opposition place upon the Ualoa of the States. Tae theory that all ths cost of the war of the rebellion should fall upon the generation which fought the battles, made all the sacrifices and sustained all the losses has

been vicious from the beginning; Fature generations who will enjoy in fabulous measure the benefits resulting from the Union of these States would be grateful for the privilege of contributing some share of the expense. In dlscu33lnz the ability of a Natiou to pay soldiers who saved the Union, pensions, it is well worth while to consider the wealth of the Nation, and the rapid Increase of Its wealth. The figures are well calculated to surprise ths reader. The valuation of the property of the United States was: In 1S.10 7.135.780.228 Iu 1SC0..... 16.159.616.CtiS

In lSTQ............. 30,068,518, ."07 In 1,n80.m.mm.mmmm 43,642,000,000 It will be observed that the rate of increase In wealth from 1350 to 18G0 was 12S per cent ; from 1SG0 to 1370 it was 87 par cent, and from 1870 to 1SSO was 43 per cent. If we estimate the increase of wealth at the rate from 1870 to 1830, we have, in 1890, a total of eay $01,000,000.000; In 1000, $87,000,000,000: in 1910, $124,000,000,000; In 1920, $177,000,000,000; in 1930, fifty years from 1SS0, the grand total of the wealth of the country will stand at the incomprehensible sum of $233,000.000,000. Suppose the country to-day was to determine to pay every Boldier who entered the government service, 'tick or weil, strong or wek, old or young, crippled or whole," a pension of $100,000 a year. Suppose there were 2.000 000 of soch soldier-, tn the annual pen aion would amount to $2iO.OGC,000. or about ba'l f 1 per cent, on the wealth of the na tion ia 1S0 About one-third of 1 per cert in lS'JO, about cnt-qurler of 1 pt-r cent, in KHK, fcr.i3t one-s'ith of 1 per wn. ui 19i0 i-s thaa orse-eigM of 1 per cent, fn 1020 ! 'le than one-twefth o' 1 per cent, of "ie wealth of the nation In 1930, when fif years are gone. But when the fifty year-, bave joined the centuries gone, there would be possibly here and there a veteran lingering on the verge of eternity, so that the per cent, of tax to pay the men pensions who saved the Union would annually decrease. The nation is able, as we have ehown, to pay pensions to the men who saved the Union, able to pay pensions to the orphans and widows and mothers of tho?e who were killed, and to those who withstood the shock of battles, and cared for the unscathed. Ia God'r name let such sheets as the News hush up on the pension question. INSULTING THE PRESIDENT. The Republican party is keeping up its record for insulting Democratic presidents. We invite attention to the latest outrage as it occurred last Friday in the city of Wheeling, and recorded by the Register, of that city. The full details will bs found elsewhere in this morning's SentineL The only similar occurrence happened In this city twenty-one years ago, when Andrew Johnson, then President of the United States, was mobbed by a local gang c f Republicans at the B ates House. 1 1 w as a much more villainous affair than that at Wheeling. Mr. Johnson appeared on the balcony of the hotel to address the people, when he was greeted by jeers and hisses from a mob of Republicans who would not allow him to proceed. The outraged President finally retired from the balcony v. hen he found that it was impossible to raise his voice above tbe vulgar; din and noise created by the Republican toughs and bummers assembled In the street below. The New York Evening Post, a Republilican paper, thus alludes to the Wheeling outrage: H ' """ li.4,The Grand Army appears bent upon destroying its reputation. If anybody had said six months ago that it wai aa organization which would elect a blatherskite to one of its chief offices and sustain him in declaring that its member would inäult the President of the United Stateä. and that, worse than this, it would j utify th prophecy, it would have been dec!arvi the base libel of some miligaant enemy of tbe order, yet withla eix moaths all this has come true. Tue Iota encampment elected Geo. Tattle, a man with an unsavory war record, as its chief, and when he threatened that tot Grand Army men would insult i he president if he went to Su Louis while they were there, instead of repudiating the threat as a slander upon their good fame, the various Posts actually indorsed the man who made it, Yesteraav a number of Grand Army Posts from West Virgina, Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, refused to pass under a banner bearing the inscription. "God Bless our President, Commander-in-Chief of Our Army and Navy," and either droped their colors or trailed them in the dust. No enemy could possibly have dealt the organization so foul a blow as it has thus itself administered. Sach conduct justifies the growing impresion that the Grand Army has really sunk into a pension grabbing machine which i no lODger entitled to the publio respect." THE STATE TREASURY. . The Sentinel has brought to light a number of astonishing facts relating to the condition of the State Treasury. For several months past the finances of the State have been in the hands of Republicans. It has been brought to light that these officials are, without exception, the most stupid set that ever had charge of such Important matters. If only stupidity could be alleged against them the state of affairs would be less grave. Bat it appears that these Republican asinine officials have not hesitated to mix with their aaintnity a very large per cent, of contemptible parti ean chicanery, and have sought, by duplicity and deception, to make it appear that tbe errors of their total lack of capacity are traceable to their Democratic prede cessors. The present "gang" of Republican officials "gang," a favorite blackguardism of the Journal bas been singularly anxious to pay out the. State's funds to a miserable impostor known as Robertson, who claims to be LieutenantGovernor. To do th's, the Republican Attorney-General gave it as his opinion that Robertson was entitled to pay for services he never rendered, and was no more entitled to the money he pocketed by the rape upon the Treasury than was Hubbell to the money he extorted from Government employes to aid Republican victories.

YOU KISSED MB.

BT J06EITUSK S. HTXT. fThe following exquisite poem was written In 1667, wben tbe young lady was under twenty. Whittier wrote of it and its author that she has truly mastered tne secret of English verse. You kissed me ! my head Dropped low on your breast, With a feeling of shelter And infinite rest; While the holy emotions My tongue dare not speak Flashed up In flame From my Heart to my cheek. Your arms held me fast Oh ! your arms were so boldHeart beat against heart In your pa&sionate iold, Your glances seemed drawing My soul through my eyes, As the sun draws tbe mist From the seas to the skies; Your lips clung to mine Till I prayed In bliss They might never unclasp From tbe rapturous kiss. You kissed me! my heart And my breath and my will In delirious joy For a moment stood still. Life had for me tben No temptations, no c&arms, No visions ot happiness Outside of your arms. And were I ibis instant An angel, possessed Ot the peace and the joy That are given tbe blest, I would fling my white robes UnrepentiEgly down. 1 would tear from my forehead Its beautiful crown. To nestle once more In that baren of rest, Your lips upon mine. My bead on your breast. You kissed me! my eoul In bliss go divine, Reeled and swooned like a drunken man, Foolish with wine; And I thought 'twere deliciou? To die there, if death Would come while my lips Were yet moist with your breath; If my heart might grow cold While your arms clasped me roun In their passionate fold. And these are the questions I ask day and night ; Must my lips taste no mora Such exquisite delight? Would you care If your breast Were my shelter as then, And if you were here, Would you kiss me again? Ills Life In Dangen TTexas S if tings. A tough looking citizen approached Gus De Smith on Austin avenue, and said: "Uimme enougn money to get out of own." "Why, what's the matter with staying ia Austin ?" There was a haunted look in the man's face as he approached and in a whisky-laden Dream caid: "There is a gang here trvine to take mv life." "Who are they?" "The restaurant-keepers. They have combined to refuse to let me have food without cash. They are going to starve me to death, bo I've got to get out of town while I have some strength left." She Wanted Rercnge.
