Notice; »
In viewiof the fact that many persons
have been'thrown out of employment,
the GAZETTE has decided to print the
advertisements of all seeking situations
free of charge until- further notice.
When the present financial depression
is over the old scale of rates will be re-'
sumed, but for the present the GAZETTE
hopes to be of. some' assistance to those
compelled to seek new situations. \
'Hard on the Lawyers. ~
There need be no surprise that things
move slowly in the present Congress
when it is known that of the 365 mem-
bers of the House 207 are lawyers. Hor-
ace Greeley once said that lawyers have
no idea of the value ’of time, and Rufus
Choate,a lawyer himself, said that over
the door of every court house in the
land ought to be inscribed: “ Nothing
is done here to-day‘which can possibly
be put off till to-morrow.”
The OfficeBenefitted.
The action of Patent Commissioner
Seymour "in: callingffor the resignation
of Examiners. Graves, Hyer, Parks,
Hudson and Morrison, has been criti-
cised in certain quarters, yet the Com- ‘
missioner by his action has without
doubt greatly benefitted the service by
their removal. Examiner Graves, who-
is a Southern Democrat, was a messens
get in the office and through the influ-
ence of ex-assi'stant Commissioner
Vance was promOted'tothe position of
assistant examiner without having been
qualified, either by education or ex:
perience,'to fill the position. Examiner
Parks has been a faithful and efficient
official, but owing to old age has be-
come incapacitated for“ "coursework;
The forced re'signation,.of Examiner. .
Hyer is acredit to Commissioner Sey-
' mour’s foresight, as Hyer has been an
obstructionist for a number of years.
Commissioner Seymour should not stop
with the resignations of- the above Ex—
aminers, but continue ‘to- weed them
out, as he has plenty of poor timber
left upon which to 'work. ;
...___.__
its Origin and its Remedy.
.However much men may differ as to
the cause or causes of our present busi-
ness depreSsion', or as to the best reme-
dies to_ be adopted, the average fair-
minded readerwill agree With the GA-
ZETTE that the following utterances of
the independent Washington Post, in
the main, speak the words of" wisdom
and of truth :
."The ca‘u'sés that have gradually led
' up to the present depression do not ap-
: pear to have undergone the investiga—' _
tion which they deserve nor to enter v
sufficiently into the general discussion
of financial questions'which' is now in
progress. ‘ '
It is pre‘posterOus to attribute the re-‘ .
verses that have overtaken the country
purchase of silver alone.
preposterous to suppose that the repeal
of the purchasing act will of itself un-
do the mischief and restore prosperity
to the Nation. -
It was not the suspension offree coin-
age that of. itself brought about exist-
ing conditionspand it"is idle", to argue
that the unrestricted mintage of silver
would of itself revolutionize these con-
ditions and re-establish public confi-
dence upon a stable footing. .
The McKinley bill is not largely re-,
sponsible for the havoc that is being
wrought, nor is the menace of its revis-
ion a disturbing factor of‘its grave pro-
portions. n ' . . ‘
There are doubtless serious defects in
our silver legislation and objectionable
features in the tarifl‘, and uncertainty
as to what may be done in the way of
revenue reform, which all have more
- or lesscontributed to aggravate the sits
nation, but there is nothing that can be
done with either silver or the tarifi‘ that
' fwill operate as an immediate panacea
for the ills by which the country is
prostrated. ," ..
' If We would find the _0rigin of the evil
it will be necessary to go, back several
years and out of the United States to ’
discoverits principal beginnings. , , '
Our’own economic policy may have
been unsound in s" ts, and'thus; weak- _
ened our powerio, resistance, but the
great 'break in" tapeworms confidante
occurred with the" failure of. the Baring
I
cashier in these times.
Brothers and the stupendous slump of
South American securities. Then be-
gan aperiod of distrust that step by
step has progressed like an epidemic,
encircling Well nigh the Whole earth
and, as more recently remembered, in-
volving the financial fabric of Australia
in one of the most destructive visita-
tions recorded in history. Germinated
in over speculation'on a most coloséal
scale the epidemic has naturally had
the reactionary effect of destroying con- -
fidence and unsettling values every-
where. It‘ Was impossible. that the
' United States; should escape. No hu-
man quarantine, could be devised to
bar it out ; and there is no specific that
can utterly and on the instant stamp it
out. ' ‘
We may and must adopt temporary
expedients of relief, but the disease
will have its run; and when Congress
talks of the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman bill as an infallible remedy, it
talks nonsense. When it talks of free
coinage as the cure-all, it talks folly.
There must be a general reconstruction
of our financial system upon a solid and
impregnable basis, as solid and as im-
pregnable as gold itself, as the first step
to steadying the world’s currency and
the re-establishment of commercial se-V
curity.

Thinks She Has $100,000.
.Walter P. Butler of Saratoga, has
been appointed by Judge Putnam re-
ceiver in‘ supplementary proceedings
for Christine M. L. Gunning of Sara-
toga, a niece of the late Senator Le-
land Stanford of California, in the suit
of the Lincoln National Bank, which
obtained a judgement against her for
$5,650 on Feb. 2, 1891. Papers inthe
case were filled in the County Clerk’s
office Friday. In her examination Mrs.
Gunning was asked what property she
has, and she testified as follows: .
”I suppose from what I have seen in
the papers that I have a legacy of $100,-
000 under the will of my uncle, Leland
Stanford of California. I have had no
notification from the executrix or from
any one representing her, of the legacy.
Mrs. Stanford, the widow of Leland
Stanford, is in father’s sister. Her
name is Jane . Lathrop Stanford. *
* * I understand that Mr. Stanford
left nc lineal descendants but an adept.
ed child. I have no property of any
kind other than the above legacy. I
have never assigned or conveyed the
above legacy to any one. If the will
of Mr. Stanford gives me any property
I still own it.” . ~ .
The testimony was signed b her un-
der the name of Christine M. athrop.
Senator Stanford’s will left $100,000,
it is alleged, to each of his nephews-
and nieces.
ChristineM. Lathrop Gunning is one
of three meces of Leland Stanford,
and is_well remembered here as having
lived in Wilton, at the Norwalk Hotel
and at one time on Mott avenue. Her
sisters are Mrs. Col. George P. Lawton
and. Mrs. Walter H. Hanson. She in-
herited about $200,000 from her father,
Daniel S. Lathrop, who was a brother
of Mrs. Stanford. Her husband, Thom-
as B. Gunning, spent the money, and a
few Years ago was frozen to death
while crossing the mountains of. South
America. His wife became insane.
She was found wandering in the streets
of'New York and taken to an asylum.

Q.
ls Worrit.
The esteemed Sentinel has been in an
uncomfortable state of mind ever since
it discovered those Pelagic islands 'in
the Pacific. Yesterday this mental ir-
ritation betrayed itself because only
two, as it thought, unemployed persons
had sent in their advertisements to be
inserted free in the GAZETTE. Its dis-
tress deepened as it evolved the idea
that this paper’s desire to aid 3 deserv-
_ appreciated. Of
course such kind so icitude touches us
in our tenderest parts. But what is to
be said of the Sentinel’s own estimate
'of the “fetching” power of its adver-
tisements, when it daily decorates its
reading columns with such startling an-
nouncements as the following, without
adash or mark of any kind to distin-
guish them from its “exclusive” locals,
and the first of which is run out‘daily
as leaded editorial matter, thus :
“The success of . . . in the treatment of
diarrhoea in her children will undoubtedly be
of interest to many mothers. She says: ‘I
spent several weeks in J onstown, Pa., after the
great flood. . . We had several children with
us. two of whom took the diarrhoea very badly.
I got some of . . . . Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy from Rev. Mr. Chapman. It cured
both of them. I knew of several other cases
where it was equally successful.’ "
‘ Then this : '
. “ Mother . . . , anurse in the Children’s
Home in New York. has for years treated chil-.
dren successfully With a remedy called . . .
Sweet Worm Powders. They‘r'emove all Worms
. . and neverfail."
Then this, again as leaded editorial
matter :
“Mr. Thomas Batte, editor of the Graphic.
Texarkana, Arkansas, has round what he be-
lieves to be the best remedy in existence for
the flux. He says: ‘ Last summer I had a very
severe attack lof flux. . . Colic and Diarr-
hoea Remedy was recommended to me. I pur-
chased a bottle and received almost immedi-
ate relief.’ ”
With still another, thus :
f‘ ‘My child is subject to severe attacks of
diarrhoea.’ 'Mr. . _. one of the best known
Citizens of . . . . Texas, suffered with diarr-
hoea for a long time and tried many different
remedies Without benefit, until '
, . . 0 1c
and Diarrhcea Remedy was used; that relieved
him at once.’ ” .
And this, also leaded:
“Last fall I was taken with a kind of sum-
mer complaint, accompanied with a wonder-
ful diarrhoea."
Then, as-if to cap the climax, and all-
forgetful of its above “exclusive” edit-
orial and reading-matter certifications
promising relief, it springs upOn a pa-
tient and waiting world the following,
“printed exclusively in the Sentinel” : -

Story was Here.
Mr. Wm. W. Story on reading the

Collector Quinn yesterday sent the follow- ~
ing reply: . . —
My term of office as internal revenue 001100
or will expire next March. although at that
time I will have held the office but three years, ‘
one year of term being held. by my defined
predecessor. There 'is a popular impression
that resignation implies adults on the part of
an official to avoid the disclosure of something
unpleasant in the administration of his office, '
Knowing that I have performed the duties of
my position as internal revenue collector with
the acknowledged approval of my superiors, I
must decline to give grounds for ill natured '
criticism which in future might put me upon
explanation. . ,
Collector Quinn, who is a Republican,
says that President Cleveland promised- :
Senator Stanford that he should not be rev?” , .
moved from oflice without cause, and tha§"7"1 ,.
the only charge brought against him is of? -
fensive partisanship. Quinn says: .
“If President Cleveland wants to remove
me, he can do so by simply appointing my ,
successor, and he need not have asked me
to resign. I shall not resign, under any
clrcumstances‘. I shall have to be bounced.” .

yiiim-d Alleged to Have Misma-
Eaged Northern Pacific. -
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 19.—Tlie threat-
ened suit against Messrs. Henry Villard,
Henry
Edwin H. Abbott, Charles L. Colby and a ’
Colgate Hoyt for the recovery of millions
of dollars, alleged to have been ' lost by
the Northern Pacific Railroad company
through their acts as directors of thdt‘ccr-
poration, is not mere idle talk on the part. .‘
of a. few disgruntled stockholders; bullpen“, ,
the contrary, is a very earnest reality, and
is based oriwliat is said, to be concluSlve» —
evidence of a breach of trust‘on'the part "of"
Mr. Villa’rd and his associates.
' ”The Philadelphiau in’whose name the.
suit will bkbrought by ex-United' States
District Attorney J ohn B. Read is John ,
Swope, who still holds Northern Pacific
securities that he purchased in 1873. , _
. ' A Northern Pacific stockholder who has
always been'oppOsed to the methods of Mr.
Villard. but who for “obvious reasons (is:
sires his name withheld, said this morning:
“‘This suit is the legitimate outcome of v
the investigation into the affairs of the
Company that Was made last winter by
Messrs._Clews, Isles rind Cooke. You would
be surprised at the mass of evidence against ,
the Villard clique‘that was amassed dur-
ing thaw-investigation, and—I more ’of; the
same nature has been procured since. _
“While $10,000,000 has been named as
the sum which it is hoped t6 recover from '
the unfaithful directors against whom
the suit will be brought, in my opinion it
will take $20,000,000 to reimburse the’
Northern Pacific for the'damag’e'it has -
suffered through . their gross mismanage-
ment of its affairs. ' ' -
“Moi-ally Mr. Villard and his associ-
ates have been guilty of a flagrant breach
of trust, and we are going to see whether '
or not they can be held responsible by the
courts.” ‘ ' .
