THE GREAT EXPOSURE MADE BY THE GOBE LAST MONDAY '. LQ.NING tTAS GEWEHAIAT COMMENDED Indorsed in Prose and Poetry— i;v4r Great Interest Manifested— fe|s . She a. P. A. Scathingly and ijyf Very Generally Condemned A J vX. v - , Fire Incident — Communication \\2?i and Newspaper Extracts. it- - i- Nothing has so shaken ud the North west in many a year as the complete exposure ot the secret political organ ization known as the A. P. A. made by .- the i.i be last Monday. All the week ' past orders for papers have been pour j ing iii from the Northwest, and even as >. far east as New York. Private letters have been sent by the score approving I the course of the Globe, while only j three have sent in words of censure, {. and they shielded themselves in the | usual manner of the coward by auony i mous or fictitious signatures. _.;- --; The sentiment, if not unanimous, is | absolutely overwhelmingly in condem nation of the oath-bound organization. An incident has come to our knowl edge which shows what kind of a diet the members of tiie A. P. A. feed upon. In lite report of meetings of the St. Paul chapter it was mentioned that a meeting being addressed by Rev. G. L. Merrill, of Minneapolis, was broken up by a fire alarm. It appears that those < : present had fed themselves upon such bugbears that they teared each bush 1 an officer. The meeting was being held i in the hall of the Knights of Pythias. I This hail is on Fifth street in a brick block adjoining the Berrisford cracker factory. When the cracker factory took fire the A. P. A. meeting thought they were being burned out by the Catholics, and shouting every one for himself, tied to the street, leaving Mr. Morrill with out an audience. There never was a clearer case of a guilty conscience need ing no accuser. We append some com munications and also the comments of the papers: Keep I aneing the Carbuncle. To th? Editor of the Globe. Lake City, Minn., Nov. 10.— Like many others, 1 have with a good de^l of interest read your exposure of the so called A. P. A*s. The Globe deserves the thanks of every American for its exposure. If tlse leading papers of the United Slates would do as the Globe has done in this instance, we would soon see I lie end of this foreign pest. - First of all, I am compelled to express my astonishment at the idea of any in telligent Americau to so far forget his manhood as to permit himself to be made the scapegoat of that infamous Orange band bolstered up by the great est enemies this republic ever had, "the English Tories." ' You may ask what proof have we that the leaders of the A. P. A.'s are Orange men? First— lt is not possible that os tracism of their fellow citizens could originate in the breasts of patriotic Americans. Secondly— lt is a well-known fact the world over that it has been the leading tactics with the English Tories the past three hundred years to array the Irish people against each other on religious grounds. For sho does not know that i.i the absence of such jealousies the English liag would not float under the troubled skies of unfortunate Ireland forty-eight hours? The fact that the sympathy of the American people has gone out to the Irish nation in their struggle for liberty no doubt has had something to do with bringing these ranting < Orangemen to the front at this time. Orangelsni isa political, not a relig ious, organization in Ireland. God is its second deity— its peculiar sort of God; but its deity is the tinsel of the English crown. It is a dull, savage. unreasoning, drinking, rowdyisb sort of fanaticism, which is as stupid in re ligion as it is groveling in politics. The man who prefers to be a slave must necessarily combine in his mental and moral being the characteristics of worse than involuntary serfdom in which has perished many a noble intel lect. Let me give you an American illustra tion of an Irish Orangeman. . In the days of American slavery there were two classes of slaves in the South who almost held themselves aloof— the slaves who lived in the cities and who often were half-free by -hiring their owu time.'' and the negroes who worked on the plantations. The town slaves, in order to ingratiate themselves with the whites, referred contemptuously to the plantation hands as "dem country niggers." The whites, of course, when they spoke of those colored Shauueens —who dropped the 0 ? s and the Mac's in their own way— referred to them as ••these town niggers." For no man who is ashamed of his own race is respected "by any race. The Orangemen want to separate themselves from their race,and therefore In v earn the hearty contempt of all tree peoples. They are the "town niggers" of Ire land. The American who travels quietly thmugh Ireland and sees the habitations ofthe people; visits the schools and finds that no history of Ireland is suf fered to be taught in them: scrutinizes the harbors and finds only English shin ping there, and little of that; visits the jails and sees men riving of diseases who nave been held without warrant, bah or trial, for mere trumpery accusa tions of a political nature; examines the goods on the shop counters and finds they are all made abroad and imported from a singly foreign country; reads the terms ol the coercion act, by which Ire land, under constitutional English gov ernment, is more despotically crushed than Poland under unconstitutional Russia. The American who sees these facts for himself must reach the conclusion that the native of such a country, who prefers that this social and political condition shall be perpetrated, is a being so low in the intellectual and moral scale that in the natural process ot selection and survival he must disap pear Irom sheer incongruity, absurdity and vvorthlessness. Yet i; "is this kind of creatures who are at p^-sent enjoy ing the congratulations of the Ton leaders of England. They boldly de~ elare tiiat tiie revolver and blood are their methods: that ' ie arguments of the Nationalists shall lot be utteied in their hearing; that they will answer their logic by blowing out their brains llierc* is no duubt but the misguided regenhßehatdr? _rvn_ —i' l!{SV :;t: '«i ? /^__!f.w<K_iCe -4— JSaV^IJ 3 BLEAI/'Vqior*.

Irish Orangemen are the prime movers In the so-called A. P. As. The Orangeman isa peculiar produc tion he is perhaps the only member of the human family who is noted as being born with an intense and unrelenting hatred for the laud of - his birth, and it would be strictly in accordance with the habits of mind of this creature that he should feel the same hatred for the country of his adoption, and should place himself at the disposition of the British governmental spy system as a willing tool to carry out any plans that that government might determine upon, no matter how unworthy they might be or how vile the results sought to be ob tained. - No. The law-abiding, freedom-loving citizens ot this great republic need have no fears or this "frothing of the Orange men, whose necks still retain the chaf ing marks of the English Tory collar. It is well to warn unsuspecting Am ericans of -the danger of associating with such disturbers of the peace. By all means keep lancing the car buncle. . P. H. Rahilly. A Puncturing Argument. To tbe Editor of the Globe. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 9.— 1 have been accused of unduly attacking the A. P. A., and, as that association num bers amongst its members some per sonal friends of my own and some who are rightly held in esteem, you would confer a tavor on me by giving me space in your valuable journal to express what is considered by me to be the true reason why the association should bs held up to nuolic censure. It has come to my knowledge that the A. P. A. justify their boycott of the Roman Catholics on the principle of re taliation. It is claimed that the Ameri can Roman Catholics place their duty to the pope first ant! their country second: this is indeed a serious charge, and would be nothing less than a charge of treason against any American citizen who is a follower of the Roman Cath olic religion. That this charge is en tirely unfounded would appear to be satisfactorily proved by the words of Mgr. Satolii uttered with due considera tion some time since. In the course of his address he stated that with the "constitution in the right hand and the Bible in the left the Roman Catholic church would march to victory.-' If this expression means anything it means that the duty that a citizen owes to his country is of the highest importance. But, admitting tor the sake of argu ment, and for the sake of argument only, that the Roman Catholics had in view the control of all political power, would it be good policy on the part of any secret association to endeavor to destroy their influence by a line of con duct which could only be carried out by a flagrant breach of the constitution al rights granted to each American citi cen? Surely not. We are taught that the only way to meet tyranny is to foster the true principles of liberty in the hearts of the people. The only way to avoid the ascendancy of bigotry is to show true largeness of mind. "The only reasonable mode to supress crime is to show a due and proper regard for vir tue. lt was said by the wisest of ancient philosophers that if your neighbor in jures you be sure and do him kindness in return, for thereby you heap coals of fire on his head. Now, has it ever been proved that the Roman Catholics, as a class, have sought political power to the exclusion of all others? Certainly not. It is true that in this city persons happening to belong to the Roman Catholic church have ob tained some important offices, and there is little doubt that our Roman Catholic fellow citizens are equally willing with their Protestant brethren to so far forget the teachings or their Master as to hanker after the loaves and fishes; but can it be shown that these office seekers and office getters have turned over even a portion of their salaries to the mother church? On the contrary, it is generally believed that they have used their salaries for the support of themselves and families, and in some cases have indulged themselves in luxuries to the extent of neglecting the fundamental rules of the church. " In deed, so far as their official life is con cerned, they have shown no more ad herence to their church than to any other. Tnis abundantly proves that they hold their offices as citizens and not as Roman Catholics. It is admitted to be the undoubted right of every citizen of this republic to offer himself to his fellow citizens for election to any office in the gift of the people, and it is equally open to any citizen to record his vote or legitimately use nis influence for or against any as pirant tor office, and if the A. P. A. had entered into an agreement between themselves to support any eligible can didate or to oppose any charlatan for office, irrespective of patty, creed or race, no right-minded man would have a word of censure to bestow upon them, but could and would give them his un qualified sympathy and support. But when they come forward with a plat form, having for its only Important plank the narrow-minded idea that no Roman Catholic should be allowed to occupy any public office, and should be debarred from trading with or doing work for any member of the association, the true citizen is struck with astonish ment, gazes around and rubs his eyes, and wonders whether he can be living in a tree country .in the nineteenth century, or whether he iias not by sonic chance slipped on the galoshes of f jrtune and been transported to the dominions of the czar of all the Russias. He thinks to him self. Can it be possible, can any Ameri can citizen so far forget the first princi ple that the father of his country hand ed down to him as a legacy without price, to be kept by him untarnished and so transmitted to his posterity, as to endeavor to persuade his fellow citi zen to endeavor to work against any other fellow citizen on account of his race or creed? . It would accord me pleasure to learn that 1 have been misinformed as to the objects of the A. P. A., for it grieves me to have to hold up to public censure any association numbering amongst its members some really good, upright and just fellow citizens; but it appears to me to be the duty of every fair-minded citizen, without fear or favor, at all times to hold up to reprobation any as sociation or body of men who so tar forget their allegiance to their country as to endeavor to trample on her glori ous constitution. Bexx Davis. COMMENT OF THE PRESS. It Will Soon Pass Away. Glencoe Enterprise. The St. Paul Gi,o_ue of Monday con tained a glaring exposure of the A. P. A., its secret oaths, workings, aims, ■ etc., fully demonstrating Eaitor Hall's : ability to raise h— l and sell newspapers. | This organization* has and may gain I some foothold in the large cities, but in j the country and small towns such or i ganizations are almost an impossibility. Many good but deluded men have joined it, but have become disgusted with it and are now knifing it deep and hard. Minneapolis is the headquarters of this criminal set of bigots and kuownoth ings. The editor of the Enterprise lias ; not been in that, city for six months, ; yet we can readily name the working I apostles of the order.

The Knowuo things fought an open and manly battle from the rostrum and in hand to hand con tents, it is true that many a poor and unoffending foreigner, far from the land of his birth, suffered ignoble treat ment at their hands.

I This disordered germ, spawned iv filth, ig norance and; prejudice, will soon: pass away, leaving tho life-blood" of the na tion clearer and better than before its advent. , Contemptible Bigotry. Waverly Tribune. The St. Paul Globe published last Monday a very interesting exposure of the methods of the American Protective association, It seems astounding that a society of this description should have 2,000 members iv Duluth and 8,000 or 10,000 in Minneapolis. The editorial on the first page of the Tribune this week was written before the exposure of the St. Paul Globe appeared, and in the light of the revelations of that paper we can only add that a society which speaks of its members as being God's noblemen, swears to uphold the consti tution, and ; then, uuder an : oath of " secrecy, binds those who be long-to it not to employ a Cath olic in ' any capacity, or countenance the nomination of a Catholic for any office in the gift of the American people, is a blot on our civilization and a burn ing disgrace. If the constitution of the United States depends for its interpre tation upon the fools who masquerade as the A P. A., the sooner it is abol ished the better. The founders of our republic hated, despised and loathed the narrow and contemptible bigotry which ostracises a man for his religious belief, and they wouid have detested equally the sanctimonious hypocrisy that calls upon God to witness an act of unsurpassed meanness.— Waverly Trib une. Democratic Party in Opposition. Aitkin Age. A report has been in circulation that a lodge of the A. P. A. had been organ ized in Aitkin, and held its meetings in the office of the county auditor, and, considerable indignation being ex pressed that county buildings should have been put to such use, an Age re' porter was dispatched to investigate. ! Auditor Luther informed the reporter that the report was unfounded; that six \ gentlemen had met in his office and talked the matter over; that he had dis couraged the idea, and that to the best ot his knowledge no branch of that or ganization existed in Aitkin, The Age '■ trusts that there is not and will not be ■ any such affliction fastened upon us, and : further trusts that if it should come upon us that no Democrat will allow himself to be cajoled into joining it. An order formed for the annoyance and in jury of men simply on account of their religion is so completely contrary to Democratic history and 'tradition that no man can belong to it and the Demo cratic party at the same time. Let our friends -the enemy reap all the glory appertaining to all such un-American proceedings, and also their inevitable fruits. In Violation of the Laws. Sauk Center Avalanche. The St. Paul Globe on Monday came out with what it avers to be the* secret work of the A. P. A. If the Globe's exposure is a true state of affairs there is something radically wrong in the or ganization, and it should be externa nated. Any number of persons banded together to trample upon their fellow men, and who call themselves Ameri can citizens, such as the A. P. A.'s are, do not deserve the recognition of true Americans. The Globe gives the ob ligations in full. * * * If such are the workings of the A. P. A. the sooner the Globe roots out the society the better. The declaration of principles upon which this government is founded for bids of any such a society, and any per son who will take the obligations in which the above expressions are con tained is not only violating the laws of the nation but the state as well. Every citizen of the United States is allowed to vote or worship as his conscience dictates, and we trust the A. P. A. may be speedily eradicated. A Dangerous Enemy. Le Sueur Sentinel. The Globe devoted its first page on Monday to an elaborate expose of the Apists, or the new secret know-nothing society styled the A. P. A., or American Protective association. The Sentinel has several times alluded to this dan gerous enemy to Americanism, and now reiterates the charge that this, or any other secret political organization, is a menace to American liberty which all true Americans should condemn. Such organizations were strongly condemned in his day by George Washington, the father of his country, and when, as in this instance, they seek to array one portion of its people against another, it is doubly dangerous to the country. It is to just such schemes as this that played-out politicians and parties will turn in the vain hope of rebuilding their shattered political fortunes. Let every true American take a pronounced stand, as does this paper, against such a contemptible and dangerous enemy. Ought to Be Suppressed by Law. Chicago Cltizeu. The St. Paul, Minn.', Globe of Mon day. Nov. 6, publishes a full expose of the mfamous and treasonable order known as the '-A. P. A.," or American Protective association. The Globe, in introducing the ritual, which is lengthy and tedious, points out that the whole base business is closely copied after the ritual of the Orange order in Ireland. A law ought to be passed defining all such societies as treasonable, and, on conviction, their members should be either hanged or banished beyond the confines of the republic. America has no room for such wretches. They should find a habitation in Great Britain Lister or Canada. Fortunately, the Catholics of America are quite able to protect themselves if assailed, but the government should be empowered by law to make the existence of such con spiracies impassible under tho starry tint- ______________________ - Nefarious and Reprehensible. Faribault County Register. Last Monday's St. Paul Globe makes a startling exposure of the American Protective association, a society said to be solemnly bauded together to war upon the Roman Catholics in every shape and form, and publishes a full copy of the ritual and obligations, giv ing the oaths, pass words, initiation ceremonies, etc. If all claimed of this secret order be true, it is one of the most nefarious and reprehensible schemes on record, and the sooner it is exposed snd annihilated the better it will be for free America. Sensible peo ple have no use for any organization, secret or otherwise, whose sole object in view is war upon any established re ligious body. Beware of the A. P. A.

The St. Paul Globe of last Monday contains a complete exposure of that nefarious organization known as the American Protective association.

No Right in a Free Country. Glencoe Kegister. - Considerable is being said just now in the papers over the A. P. A. (Ameri can Protective association), an anti- Catholic secret society of somewhat of the same nature as the Orangemen. The Globe came out Monday with a complete expose of the society, its oaths, initiatory ceremonies and pur poses, and shows'it up for jast what it is, tin association to put down the Cath olics, and to do them all the harm pos sible. The A. P. A.has no right in a free country aud it should be relegated to where it belongs, a despotic govern ment. - -;/; Opposed to the Constitution. Mora Times. Any institution that seeks to abridge the right of any citizen to "liberty, pur suit of happiness and freedom of con science" is un-American and iv opposi tion to the spirit of our constitution, lt matters not whether that institution is religious or secular, the true Ameri can will not be found in them. So long as both Catholics and Protestants keep their hands off from the schools and our free institutions aud do not attempt to implant their doctrines there, the true Americau should look upon them alike and extend to each the same free dom and liberty that he himself enjoys. Thinks It Was Padded. Chisago County News. t'Cfc The Globe wilt probably give an ex position of the inside workings of the A. F. A. M. next. The chap who se cured the matter for the expose of the A.

We have little sympathy with such an or ganization, but we have no respect for a scoundrel who will perjure his soul to such an extent as tne Globe "detec tive" must have dove. But, as the Globe is distinctively a Catholic organ, we reserve the right to believe the "ex pose" was just a little padded. Fine Piece of Journalism; Ll ' : " ' Faribault Pilot. : • ■ :_u- The St. Paul Daily Globe got a very sensational "scoop" on its neighbors Monday morning, when it presented to its readers the oaths, ritual and pass words of the A.

The article was well written and must have cost the Globe no small amount of time and money. As a whole, it is a tine piece of enterprising journalism. No Christian Can Belong* Little Falls Herald. When any church, society or person attempts to dictate as to who a j man shall employ or as to how he shall vote, or what church he shall attend they are acting in direct violation of the consti tution of the United States.

Un-American in Its Operation. Renville Union. • _;.'.*• The St. Paul Globe published a re markable exposition of the American Protective association Monday. What ever may have been the circumstances which gave rise to its organization, It seems to be un-American in. its opera tions. Its avowed purpose is to oppose Catholics in every manner possible.

Washixgtox, Nov. 12.— "What will congress do to provide for the fore shadowed deficiencies in the revenue?" was the query propounded by the Globe correspondent to Congressman Hall, of the Third district, and also to Congressman Baldwin, ot the Sixth. Mr. Hall replied substantially as fol lows: "It is hard to foretell the various things that congress may do. There are many ways in which a revenue can be raised. I am in favor of such revision of the tariff as will lessen every burden of direct taxation upou the producing classes. There is nothing more unfair or inequitable thau our present system of taxation. The articles most used are taxed by the tariff laws. This is chiefly paid by the comparatively poor man. Then the poor man's cow is taxed just as heavily as the rich man's cow— and so on through the entire list. 1 am strongly in favor of an income tax. and a tax on inheritances. I would tax every income above $2,500, and increase the tax in full proportion as the income increases. Then I would increase the internal revenue upon spirits, and pos sibly on beer and tobacco. These can stand taxation. I think some or all of these methods for revenue will be adopted by the present congress." Maj. Baldwin replied: "I am not un qualifiedly in favor of tariff for revenue only, though am most emphatically in favor of tariff reform. I might declare that in my judgment no state or con gressional district in the Union would be more emphatically benefited by ab solute free trade than Minnesota aud the Sixth district. 1 think that the Democrats of . the state had better re turn to that platform, as four years ago we had the state almost converted to this very honest douest doctrine, sound ed by Knute Nelson and others. Now, as to the question. of revenue, I am in favor of taxing all incomes over $2,500— a graduated tax, increasing as the In come increases. I also favor increasing the tax on spirits and tobacco, but not on beer. 1 believe beer to be the bev erage of the laboring man, and think it conduces to the cause of real temper ance. I shall favor these, and perhaps other methods of raising revenue." MAILS ON THE RAILWAYS. Washixgtox, Nov. General Su perintendent James E. White, of the railway mail service, has made his an nual report to the postmaster general. Upon this branch of the service depends the rapid transportation of mails. At the close of the fiscal year mails were being carried on 166,952 miles of rail road, for which 8,059 cars were used with 6.417 railway clerks. There were handled during the year 10,236,314,915 pieces of mail matter. This is an in crease over ISSS of 49.6S per cent, while the increase in the number of clerks is but 13.86 per cent. For clerks' salaries the next year $7,186,000 is asked, and an appropriation of $3,094,000 for postal cars is recommended. The superintend ent says the stagnation of business has the. effect of decreasing the mails. He refers to the number of railroad accidents during the past year, and urges that some provision be made for the families of the postal clerks who were killed. He also renews previous recommendations" that the salaries of the clerks be increased, also that there be a force of auxiliary clerks ot 150, to be paid salaries of $250 a year in addi tion to what they earn -as substitutes. He also wants the mail cars and tenders of engines vestibuled for tne safety of employes. A special feature of the report is the recommendation .of a bill making it a misdemeanor for any individual, asso ciation or organization to Interfere with the passage of any train carrying the mails, and providing that any persons or representatives of any association or organization obstructing the mails shall be fined and imprisoned for each of fense. _, '- On the day of the adjournment the house of representatives sent to the postmaster general an inquiry as to whether the claims of letter carriers for compensation for services in excess of eight hours are being received, and whether, in the settlement of these claims, the service of. attorneys is nec essary.

Anna Eva Fay, the celebrated spirit ualistic medium, appeared before an audience of -2,000 peop c at the Audi torium last night. The manager had been unable to arrange for heat for the halJ, and the performance was sadly marred by the cold which made it very uncomfortable for the audience, and caused many to leave before the mani festations were half over. : > V_ The manager, Mr. Pingre, made the opening address, stating something of the travels ot Miss Fay and her wonder ful powers. There was upon the stage a light wooden frame, perhaps six feet by four, covered with curtains, and in this so-called cabinet Miss Fay per formed some surprising things. » Messrs. Bancroft and Tate were named as a committee by the audience to go upon the stage and see that there was a square - deal. The first placed strong pieces of cloth around each wrist, and then, placing her nands be hind her back, tied these cloths to a stout iron ring, placed a seal of court plaster upon the knots and nailed the cuds of the cloth to the back of the chair. Her feet were bound somewhat similarly, and a cloth was placed about her neck, tied in a knot, and the ends of the cloth nailed to the back of the chair. In this condition she was placed in the cabinet, which tbe committee first examined and re ported was unoccupied. The cur tain was then drawn, after a mouth organ and guitar had been laid on her lap and immediately both instruments were played upon. Various other manifestations were given, such as placing a glass of water in the cab inet and it being emptied, etc. Finally Mr. Tate entered the cabinet and sat beside her with his hands on her lap. Mr. Pingre having first thrown a shawl over his head, and the manifestations were re peated. All this time the committee reported that her hands were tied as originally, aud the cabiuet was turned bottom side up and shaken by the com mittee tc show that no confederate was concealed therein. A close frameworK of boards was then fitted about her chair, leaving her head visible, aud in this condition she wrote on paper and made other surprising manifestations. Finally a pocketkuife was laid upon the front of the frame, and it was seized iv some unseen mau mer and her bonds were quickly cut. It was absolutely demonstrated that she had no confederate, and her mani festations or tricks were surprising, eclipsing those of the cleverest sleight of-hand operator. W hen the rappings of the spirit hand were given an amusing episode oc curred. Some one called out: "Will Wright resign?" Miss Fay asked if that was a local question, and on being told it was, the spirit hand promptly answered. "No." "Will he be re-elected?" was the next question, and the prompt answer came: "No." These replies brought down the house, as did the one saying Mitchell would uot whip Corbett. . While, probably, very few in the audience considered that spirits par ticipated in the performance, no one could fail to give Miss Fay credit for being exceedingly clever. It is hardly likely that a job lot of spirits are travel ing about the country with Miss Fay paying their own board bills, but the Globe makes no attempt to explain how the tricks were done, because it does not know. Still, Pingre was there. Herman must look to his laurels. UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT* — — -— — Riley and Sherley in St. Paul Sat . urday Night. Riley as a conversationalist is a great surprise. He says so many funny things on the platform and gets into so many odd shapes that at first thought one might suppose he lacked in dignity, but, on coming closer to him, respect for him is heightened; and when he leads the conversation to literature, showing his intimate acquaintance with both authors and their works,the opportunity to meet him is accorded a greater privilege. Last year in Minneapolis on meet ing several editors the conversation turned on Rudyard Kipling. Riley gave it as his opinion that Kipling was a , greater poet than novelist, and added that he considered it a pity that the au thor did not take greater care with bis productions. He said that it always ap peared to him that Kipling ron his "stuff" off in hot haste for some daily, and then clipped it at both top and bottom to make it fit tbe column. If any one doubts that Riley's works are not carefully prepared let them con sider his criticism of Kipling, and then also read his prose sketch "A Remark able Man." He writes as he talks, easily, but not carelessly. Messrs. Riley and Sherley will be seen at Ford's Music hall Saturday evening of this week. A typographical error was misleading as to the time when the sale of seats was to begin. It begins at 9a. m. Thursday. CALLS THEM LOTTERIES. Gen. Thomas Severe on Bond In vestment Companies. Washixgtox, Nov. 12. — Assistant Attorney-General Thomas, of the post office department, has had many inqui ries about the reports that the depart ment had consented to let the bond in vestment companies transact their busi ness through the mails. Gen. Thomas says : "The department, as well as myself, has been in these reports put in a false attitude towards these companies. In the consideration of the questions in volved in the schemes of these com panies, 1 have persistently refused to pass on them as schemes devised to de fraud the public, for the reason that 1 uniformly held them to be lotteries. But these companies are now trying to modify their plans of business, and, if they succeed in that, 1 will be driven to the consideration and decision of the question whether fraud is involved in tnem or not. I wish to say most em phatically that I have not endorsed them, aud 1 shall hesitate long before I give them, as now handled, my sanc tion." ■1 ■ James O'Neill finds "Monte Cristo" as profitable as ever, and is using it very extensively this season.
