FINANCIAL CONDITION Officlal Calls Attention of the Public to Evils of Raising Credits Higher Than Real Busi- ness Warrants, NOW STABLE WASHINGTON, Sept. 2%.—Ellis H. Rob- erts, treasurer of the United States, who is attending the joint convention of the Bankers' assoclation, which Is being held on board a steamboat on the Potomac river tonight, delivered an address before the convention. He sald in part: Current financial discussion deals In much the larger part with national bank- notes. They constitute less than one- sixth of our stock of money, $18,697,975 out of $2,708,093,663, and no legislation can change that ratlo very materially. _Gold, on the other hand, furnishes $1,267,753,949, or hard onto one-half of our stock, and it grew $12,000,000 last month. Let me be content to n the rock bottom of gold. Of 8 money in circulation, gold In coln und certificates is $1,014,630,078! banknotes are just less than $400,000,000. Again, Jook at the treasury holdings. The gold there is today the largest sum ever recorded, $653,000,000. Our treasury holds three and 'nine-tenths times the _amount of gold belonging to the Bank of England, which is $166,86,000; it is more than three and eight-tenths times that of the Im perial German bank, which fs $170,371,000 very nearly three times that of the Ausiro- Tungary bank, which is $221,404,000; it lacks only” $8,000,000 'of belng equal to’ that of both the Banks of kngland and of France, which latter holds $i%4,506,00, and it ex coeds the amount of 'Russia, Germany, Belglum and The Netherlands combined. United States Has Much Gold. On the holding of the Bank of England rests the credit, public and private, of the British empire. " With us, besides, the gold in the natior treasury, the banks na. tional and others, own $322,408,571, and this is more than any central institution holds, save those of France and Russia. More vital yet is the growth of the official treasury of the several countries. In five years the Bank of France has mained $127,040,000 and the Austro-Hunga. rian $79,130.000. In the Imperial German bank the Bank of England $2,265,000, and $132,240,000, G fortune 'has added the' gold 'In the treasury vaults of the United States from the close of August, 1898 to the first day of the current month, 393,080,329, or very near $80,000,000 a year on the average. Let us get a little to the bank value and to the pockets of the people.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Sept. 2%.—The Bankers' association of Maryland and of the District of Columbia, which is holding its annual convention on a steamer on tho Potomac river, visited the ship yard and other points of interest here and later went to Norfolk. Among the speakers on the steamer were Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, the comp- troller of the currency, Willlam Ridgely, and Ellis Roberts, treasurer of the United States. On the way down from Washing: ton on Thursday might Secretary Shaw made a speech, in which he took a decidedly optimistic view of business prospects of th® country. The secretary said that we must issue more than bonds as a basis of circulation or avold some circulation. Speaking of the function of a bank, he sald its success should not be measured by its dividends, but by its solvency and con- servatism. Its reserves, In his opinion, should be available for use in times of emergency and were not intended to be burled and never touched. The recent de- posits of public moneys and offers to redeem bonds had not been made, he went on, with any expectation of alding the stock market, but solely to assure the business men of the country there would be no money famine this auturmn. He said: Go home and tell your merchants and manufacturers and rafiroad people that you are still doing business at the old stand and sxpect to remain. Stand by the busi- ness and all will be well. The prosperity of the American people Is not measured by the price of stocks and bonds, but by the output of our farms and factories and the profitable employment of labor.

Turkey nor Bulgaria must expect support frem the British government in resisting openly or secretly the execution of the re- forms proposed for Macedonia, as already promulgated; that the reforms in the opin- fon of the British government were the minimum of what was required; that the steps taken to give effect to them, even making allowance for the difficulties of the situation, were lamentably Inadequate, and that tar more prompt and more effective measures for this purpose were required than had hitherto been adopted by the British authorities. The Bulgarian author- ities received a similar fntimation. Little Con! in Irade. SOFIA, Bulgarla, Sept. 2%.—Simultan- eously with the issue of the irade appoint- ing the mixed Macedonian commission, the report comes from Constantinople that the porte has ordered the mobilization of the | two additional divisions of the Asfatic troops, The Irade has created little impres- sion here. The bellef prevails that the sultan is acting solely in the view of the approaching meeting between the Russian and Austrian emperors and with the hope of convincing them that he is anxious to maintain peace. A dispatch from Rila says that the Insurgents encouraged by their recent successes, are abandonthg a strictly defensive attitude and are pre paring to' take the offensive.

Russia Sides with Turkey. VIENNA, Sept. 26.—It is reported that a Russfan note that was handed to the Bul- garlan government tonight has caused ex- citement In Sofla. The note recognizes Turkey as the premier power in the Balkans and admits her right to suppress a rebellion in her own territory as she thinks best. ALLEGE WHOLESALE FRAUD Election Jud Cited for and Police Captain © mpt of Gourt at Dea DENVER, Colo., Sept. %.—Half a dozen election judges in the Third and Fourth wards, charged with violating an injune- tion issued from Judge Johnson on election day, have been cited to appear in court tomorrow morning to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt. Michael Delaney, police captain, has also been cited to answer for contempt In ad- vising and abetting the violation of the court's ordel STRONG PULL FOR HARMONY Republicans of All Ranks and Factions Unite in Beconding Effort. BIG CROWD ENRAPPORT WITH SENTIMENT Evidence of the Dawning of u Better Day for Douglas County Repub- Hean Party Leaders See Necen- #ity of Getting Together, (Continued from First Page.) have the good fortune to be placed In the field. Mr. Burbank Inferred that the edi- torial was not in good faith on the eve of the harmony meeting. He read the edi- torlal and wondered if it was a rabbit- trap and asked the editor of The Bee to explain whether or not he intended to scratch any name he pleased after they were placed in the field. Senator Millard before introducing Mayor Moores sald he had Mr. Rosewater's word a few hours before that he would support the ticket and he was willing to rely on it, end the crowd applauded vigorously. Moores Will Support Ticket. Mayor Moores received a great ovation. He sald he was In bad health and could not make a long talk, but succeeded in saying some things that made a hit. *I am totally in favor of that great and glorl- ous staté—harmony,” he sald. “Only it would have pleased me better if harmony had descended upon us last spring. How- ever, I am ready to bury the hatchet and support any republican nominated, no mat- ter how much sugar I will have to use to get down the pill.” The “hand” that was accorded A. W. Jefterls apparently encouraged him, as he launched forth In what was justly termed later an eloquent speech, dwelling sonsider- ably upon the principles and glory of the party and finally working his way down to a lusty advocacy of the new primary rules, Which, he said, would give the rank and file a chance. He counseled that slate making be abandoned and to let the people make their choice, and this sentiment brought approval. W. J. Connell, who was one of the victims of the lack of harmony last spring, when he falled of election as city cttorney, pointed to himself as an example of what discord had done. He spoke for a spirit of get together, called John L. Webster the next presiding officer of the United States senate and declared for the republican Judiclal ticket, attacking in somewhat biting terms the “‘mongrel” opposition ticket and the two former republicans who had ace cepted places upon it. Incidentally he de- fined a “machine,” and said that it meant simply an “organization,” as essential to a church or philanthropic or business enter- prise as to a successful political party. Anti-Machine for Harmony. H. C. Brome declared that the new pri- mary rules would work a decided reform and would prevent the buying and selling of delegations at conventions. The anti- machine people, he said, were especially interested in harmony this fall and of re- training from slate making, because the people were now to be allowed to choose their own candldates, precisely what the anti-machine faction had always demanded. Therefore, he sald, there would not be the smallest reason for anti-machine voters re- tusing to support the ticket that will be chosen by the people. No apologies were necessary for the imsurgent wing of the party for deeds of the past, he sald, and none would be for the future. “Whenever 1 _think of harmony mediately attune my volce to slu E. J. Cornish In beginning. Much trouble there had been in the county, he admitted, and he was not cer- tain that It Is all over, but he said the rank and file are demanding that knifing cease and it must be stopped. The pol- iticians are reading the writing on the wall and know that they must bury the hatchet. He alluded to Mr. Webster and quote President Roosevelt's statement that the vice presidential candidate on the ticket with him must come from the west Concerning the new rules, Mr. Cornish sald he belleved they were good ones and impossible for the yvoters to know per- sonally all the candidates and their quali- fications, slate and to urge his friends to support it, conceiving this course as his duty as a good citizen. He spoke of the practical side of making a ticket and sald the voters should be educated to understand the ne- cessity of baluncing the ticket according to geography, nationality, etc. W. A. Saunders sald be believed people competent to judge whom they wanted as candidates. No slate of any kind should be put up, he said, and no coerclon used to drive candidates from the fleld. the Presents the Resolutions. At the close of Mr. Siunders' spesch T. W. Blackburn secured the attention of Chairman Millard and read the “harmony" resolutions, which were adopted by prac- tically a unanimous vote. John L. Xennedy said he believed in the necessity of a party machine, but sald he wanted a machine big enough to carry the he told the old story of the man, who in glving “orders for the disposition of his mother-in-law’s remains, ordered them em- balmed, buried and burned, and to “take no chances.” This process was what Mr. Kennedy advocated to put the old differ- ences to sleep. He urged his hearers not to think of the old scores—‘not to talk about what has been, but what should be." Prejudice, he sald, must have no place In any campalgn in the future if results are to be achieved. He pointed to Mr. Rosewater as the man who can de more than any other in Omaha to allay fac- tional differences and sald that to do it he must lay all personalities aside and support the nominees of the party. Dr. W. H. Christle was inclined to eat fire and to rake up ancient controversies, protesting loudly agalnst “branding, he yellow dog proposition,” and declaring a great many times that the republican party can do no wrong. Necessity of Direction. The reception accorded Mr. Rosewater, as that given to the other candidates, was warm and turbulent. Mr. Rosewater began his brief speech by quoting the old adage, “To err is human and to forgive divine,” saying that the republican party In Doug- las county can well afford to bury the errors of the past and forgive the In- juries. He took fssue with one of the fogmer speakers, who said that individual- Individualism 1s passing away, The complaint, which Is sworn out by attorneys for the charter campalgn com- mittee, alleges that watchers were thrown out of the polling places, in deflance of the court's order, and that then wholesale frauds were committed. tains of industry and the industrial com- binations making this inevitable. parties must have leaders to win battles, the same as armies must have competent generals.

They made a well-balanced and efficient ai- rectory, which could not have been ob- tained had there not been some preliminary selection, consideration and direction Under the new primary system the 13,000 republican voters In the county vote on the candidates, not one of whom, in the spcaker's opinion, is personally acquainted with more than 1,500 of the people. Should a slate be prepared with the best inter- ests of the party at heart, there wowd be nothing to prevent the people from voting for whomsoever they pleased, but they would have the benefit of the wisdom and judgment of the men who had made poli- tics a careful study for years and who knew the personality of the aspirants for office. Unless the primaries are properly carried fout, Mr. Rosewater maintained, they will wreck the ticket, which should be sup- ported because it deserves support and not merely because it is republican. “Let us |be good Americans first and good repub- licans afterward,” he said. Free Speech and Free Thonght. 1t was free speech and free men Who had conquered in battle for the nation, the speaker declared, and it has been un- resurained freedom of thought that has enavled The Bee to take rank as a great newspaper. Freedom of thought enabled the editor to believe in what he wrote and this sincerity in what was written tor good government, has given the paper whatever Influence it has. Should honest conviction be dethroned for platitude and the fulsome support of men and principles not believed in personally by the editor, the influence would be lost. Referring to what Dr. Christle had said concerning their being no bad men in the republican party, Mr. Rosewater said this staterment was ridiculous and it might as well be said that there are no bad men in church, whereas it is haraly worth while to state the simple truth that bad men are everywhere. With reference to the editorial quoted by Mr. Burbank, Mr. Rose- water said he had fn mind the fact that it is lmpossible to expect the people 10 sup- port men unqualified for office and that in making the ticket the party is either made or unmade. In other words, that the nominees must be men that will de- serve success or they will not attain it In closing Mr. Rosewater sald it was clear that if the factional fights that have prevailed for the last four or five years are kept up there will be nothing worthy of the name left in Douglas county of the republican party. Old issues must be set aside and attention directed to the new. The talk of W. F. Gurley, was, perhaps, the least disposed to harmony of any heard. Time and again he indulged in bit- ing personalities directed principally to- wards the editor of The Bee. He main- tatned that the people are fitted to pick out thelr own ecandidates to suit tiemselves without advice and that no other man can tell them how to vote. He talked of the ad- vantages of the new rules, and sald there must be no interference of any kind with the candidates if real harmony is to be expected. He said that the practical side, “the balance” of a ticket should be cast to the winds and not even considered at the primaries. Judge Barnes Is Hopeful. Judge Barnes sald he thought he saw some signs of harmony promise in the sky and that the republicans of Douglas county are coming to theld own again. He eulo- gized Omaha and its people and said noth- ing in the state Is too good for it, but pointed out that if anything is to be done in the state conventions and In state poli- tics Douglas county republicans must be able to elect their own county and city of- ficers and show themselves able to control affairs in thelr own provinces. “When you have nominated your candidatks, for God' sake, stick to them,” was his closing ap- peal. Webster Winds Up. John L. Webster's appearance set t crowd in a frenzy of cheering, although it was late in the evening and the audience had had its full share of talk. Mr. Webster sald it was the grandest and most im- portant duty of every republican to sup- port the ticket whenever nominated. He sald that the great duty is to vote upon the principles, rather than because of the candidates. To show the necessity for unity and the fact that personal likes and dislikes should count for little he told of the history of the federal constitution, the diMculty in the making of it and the re- luctance of many delegates to sign the completed document. He declared. that anything, politicaily, is better for the party than to have half the county offices filled by democrats, and —— e A SHANE To Polson Children, “I have made coffee during the 17 years I have kept house on an average of at least once a day until we gave it up alto- gether. My husband was often forced to .eave oft drinking it for several weeks at a time, owing to severe pains in his heart, which he declared were caused by coffee.” £0 says a lady of 8. Atkinson, Me. “I had a bad stomach trouble, my zppetite was poor and what food I ate did not di- gest, and I had no strength, “I also had bad nervous trouble and suf- fered much from headaches and a feeling of suffocation and faintnes We have four children and all were/very fond of 0ffce and drank it every morning, seldop eating much breakfast. They were pale and often complained of feeling faint and dizzy and one daughter hud indigestion badly. My husband's futher, who lives with us, was badly bloated and sometimes said ‘I believe coffee hurts me.' DBut after trying for a few days to get along without it the habit of a lifetime proved too strong and he would call for a cup of coffee. “Last spring we began reading about the wonderful cures by Postum Food Coffee and became interested and decided to try it. So we stopped coffee and began using Postum. In a rprisingly short time we all noticed a very decided change in health all round. The children's appetites fme proved, and after using Postum u short time they began to eat hearty breakfasts every morning. Elizabeth's dyspepsia 1s all gone and he says she can eat anything now and it does not hurt her. They no longer complain of feeling faint and dizzy and all are growing plump and rosy. “I have gained eight pounds myself, al- though doing more work than I have been able to do for years. My appetite is goou, food digests, nerves are r and I have none of the other troubles. It is simply wonderful, “My husband has no more trouble with his heart and father-in-law does not bloat and can breathe much more easily “We had made the change from coffee to Postum without telling father-in-law, but one morning, after we had used Pos- tum a short time, he sipped his coffee and sald, ‘How much better (his is; how did you happen to get such good coffee? and he was greatly surprised whea told it was not coffee, but the food drink, Postum. He declares that it has done him great good and he has not been so well for years, stroj A lot prophesied great results from the meeting. He spoke highly in favor of Judge Barnes. Harmony In Two Ward Hatmony In the republican ranks was the slogan of the hour at the joint meeting the First and Second Ward Republican clubs held In Mets 1 last evening. More voters than usual were present and were entertained with short but spirited’ “‘har- mony” talks from the aspirants to public favor who came to greet them { E. J. Cornish opened the ball, making an elogquent appeal for harmony, which drew forth vociferous and prolonged applause. At the conclusion of Mr. Cornish's address were introduced by Chairman . B. Ostrom asked the voters for their support to assist him in getting the nomina- tlon for county assessor and put in a word for harmony Brafley, who has no opposition for the nomination to the office of county coroner, which office he now holds, thanked the First and Second ward- ers for courtesies already shown and so- licited their continued suffrage. Charles Unitt, who would be county clerk, reviewed the election and contest of two years ago, when he was a candidate, and congratulated the republicans of the two wards on thelr loyalty to himselt and party on that oc sion. F, W. Stubbendorf, candidate for county treasurer, was listened to with evi- dent Interest as he told of the great victory possible for the party if factionalism and petit differences were brushed aside before | election day next November. B son, aspirant for the office of county clerk, talked along the same harmony lines as his predecessors and was brief but pointed in what he sald. H. W. Cowduroy, also looking for county clerk honors, spoke briefly on the issues of the campalgn and was followed by C. H. Kubat, J. W. Kin- kead, Major J. 8. Miller, W. A. Foster, W. W, Eastman and Arthur E. Baldwln, candidates for justice of the peace for the city. J. Kenworthy sald he was a little man looking for a little office. He wanted to be constable and was assured by a round of applause that his wish was endorsed. At precisely 9 o'clock the meeting ad- journed to permit all present yho so de- sired to attend the harmony meeting then in progress at Washington hall. GOSSIP OF THE POLITICIANS c. Montgomery Looks Into Law and Decides Two Places Are Vacant on Democratic Ticket. Whether or not the names of Judge Doane and John O. Yeiser shall be placed on the democratic judiclal ticket and the names of Judges Baxter and Estelle shall be removed from such ticket is belng as warmly discussed in democratic circles as was the silver question in 18%. Not only the law, but the facts in the case, and the law and facts in other cases, are being gone over and a suitry time Is generally predicted. On the law in the case C. S. Montgomery say Since the question with reference to va- cancles created on the democratic tiche by the failure of Judges Estelle and Baxter to file affidavits of expenses, has been under discussion, 1 have been giVing the matter some conslderation, resuiting in a beliet that the committee’ would be 'legally justi- fied In considering the nominations as va- cant and proceeding to fill the two places. Section 8, article ifl, chapter xxvi, provides that candidates shali, within ten duys after nomination, file an aMdavit of nomination expenss nection 4 provides that those elected ehall, within ten days after such election, file an affidavit of election expenses. Section § provides a 51,000 penalty for a faflure in the cuse so to'do, nnd sectlon 6 provides further against a faflure so to do, us follows “‘No board, officer, or officers, authorized h¥ law to issue commissions or certificat: of election, shall issue a commission or cers tificate of election to any gu‘lnn required by the 8rd or 4th sections hereof to file a statement or statements until such state- ment or statements shall have been so made, verified and file The phrase “so made' is & requisite as to time, as well as substance and form, and therefore forbids an officer from issuing a commission or certificate when the same is not so filed. The only officers referred to in section 6, to the extent of forbldding the issuance of commissions or certificates of election, for failure to file under section 3, are the offi- cers chosen by the convention, with respect to which section 135~ of chapter xxvi pro- vide: ““The officers of all primary elections held under the provisions nereof shall have the same power and privileges as officers of | regular stato clections, and shall be- sub- | Ject to the same restrictions, and conditions.” Therefore, when section 6 provides that the officers’ of the regular state elections shall not issue a certificate of election be- cause of certain acts of neglect, that same law shall also be appiled to primary elec- tions, and s binding upon such officers con- cerning its nomini fons or selections. | " Section 3 provides that this statement shall be flled within ten days. The lan- guage 13 imperative, and the result of the fallure is the denial of the certificates, and the duty of the convention officers to refuse to fssue such certificates follows neces- sarily. Yet the legislature, recognizing that some- Umitations made provision accordingly. Where failure T made in flling statements, and where officers nevertheless do issue certificates, and other officers place the name of such derelicts on_the ballot, section 6 provides that such derelict candidate, ,receiving a majority of the votes, shall rot draw his salury until he does file such statements. This provision does not, however, change the duty of the convention officers. It I simply a provision that, when a candidate (though delinquent) has been eected, thus becoming the people's choice, he may cure his office, The provision applies only cases where, by common consent, a candi- date has, regardless of the mandatory re- Quirements, been permitted to run and de- clared the choice of the \wuple Furthermore, # nomination is in the nu- ture of a contract; a proposition to vote for & man if he will accept the hanor.

There was a rush of filings for delegates to the republican county convention and for county central committeemenships at Secretary Messick's office Friday morning, and at noon, when the time for filing was up, there was a pile of about 30 filings on his desk. They have not yet been tabu- Jated, but from the size of the pile it is presumed that every precinct in the county is fully represented. No filings have yet been made with the republican city central committee by ean- didates for the Board of Education, but a number of petitions are belng circulated. Of the five outgoing members of the board Messrs, Levy, Smith and Stubbendorf have announced positvely that they will not be candidates for re-election. H. B.

No common, ordinary parrot will do. It must be one certain bird, and the one wiich is wanted can- not be found. A short time ago Willlam Grifin, 1106 South Tenth street, turned & parrot over to Mrs. Finnegan for satekeep- ing. There is now a dispute as to the terms of the agreement on which the bird was turnea over, Mrs. Finnegan asserts he bought the parrot outright, while Grit- fin states with just as much emph that the bird was only turned over to be cared for during a short perlod and was to be roturned in good condition on the payment of certain charges for its keeping. Grifin has made several attempts te secure possession of the parrot, but so far has failed utterly in his designs. He first made overtures to Mrs. Finnegan with a view ta inducing her to accept payment for its kecping, and other expenses in- curred, she to relinquish all claim to the feathered pet. Mrs. Finnegan demurred. She not only demurred, but finally refused. Griffin threatened and cajoied, but all to no purpose. After he found all plans fafled he hied himself to the city prosecutor's office and swore out w warrant, charging the woman with larceny us ballee. As a result Mrs. Iinnegan s now peeping through the bars in the city jail trying to ses n way out.
