Tho jKiliee of Prospect park, Brook
lyn, aro puzzled and some) of them
have been Hcared by mysterious lights
that have been Hitting about the
park walks and drives. The lights are
described as two led balls of fire of
phosphorescent brilliancy. Each is the
eizo of a man's head, round and with
a tail like a comet. 15oth lights travel
together at a distance of five or six feet
from the ground, going along side by
side. They are never seen apart. It
is only on dark, drizzly nights, tho
police say, that the lights are abroad.
Tho lights have been the subject of
general discussion among the policemen
! after the relief hour, and notes have
been compared on their appearance.
Those who have encountered them in
the tit illness of the night hours say that
I the lights do not deviate from a straight
' lino till a certain point is reached,
j whon tin y hoot over to the big lake
j and cross it. The lights have been
! ff" '"f j" nt Ktw on tbo Couey
Island road trom the Boulevard and
; k tho t drive tu tho flower
garden.
From there they have deliberately
shot off to the left, and while keeping
a regular distance from the earth, have
flitted over to the lake where they have
tihot across the water like a Hash.
Exciting times are recorded by those
who have tried to capture the lights.
The police compare them to the lan
terns of bicycles or carriages. A few
nights ago Policeman iIc(Jowausaw
them on the drive near Lookout hill.
He ran up and made a grab, but the
lights eluded his grasp. JIc( lowan
w;is mystified, lie consulted Police
man JIc(TViire. on the next post. It was
too late, he said, for a bicycle rider to
be abroad, and he could hear no rattle
,
carriage wheels. Policeman JIc-
; Gnire could suggest no explanation.
i On another occasion. Policeman En

ms savs, eight ot his comrades chased
; th),m "OV(.r Lookout hill. Near this
point is the Quaker cemetery, with its
: ancient gravestones green with moss.
Tho red lights enrereu me graveyard
and flitted among tho tombstones, while
Policemen Stillwell, Boyle, Eunis,
j Brown, McGuire, Peffer and others
k made desperate efforts to catch them.
When all hands reported at the Man
sion House the men excitedly compared
notes a-nd agreed that they could uot
understi:id it.
Sergeant Foster said that several po
licemen had been badly frightened.
Ho said the origin of the lights had
never been satisfactorily explained.
We were all inkiest ed- to know
something about them, " he went on,
"and we consulted a dictionary. The
information there is that the words
'Ignis fatuus' explain the origin of the
lights. 1 remember, " concluded the
sergeant, "reading of a man who got
BO near to the lieht. tba he coV,ld aI"
most set nre to a piece in papei .
Here is the definition that Sergeant
Foster referred to :
"A phosphorescent light that ap
pears in the night over marshy ground,
supposed to bo occasioned by the de
composition of animal or vegetable sub
stances or by noninflammablegas: pop
ularly called also Will-with-the-wisp
and Jack-with-a-lantern. "
Murder Will Out.
Joseph Evans, a sailor, was arraigned
in Liverpool last week on his own cor.
fession that he had murdered a shipmate
of the name of Charles Boyle in New Or
leans five years ago. According to hia
story he ard Boyle had a quarrel on
board tho ship Discovery at New Orle
ans, and he threw Boyle overboard. The
body was subsequently found in the Mis
sissippi river, but there was no suspicion
at the time that he had met his death by
foul means, and the affair was f orgottei
until Evans confessed that it was he who
had caused Boyle's death. Evans was
remanded for trial. London Dispatch.

For The Caccasi n,
Mr. Ehitok: Not long since a
friend handed me a copy of the Da
vie Times, and in looking over it I
found the following, which please
publish, as it is a fair specimen of
the productions of a Democratic edi
tor running a "one-horse paper," in
the interest of Cleveland Democracy
and Wall street supremacy, viz:
"There is a certain Weavente liv
ing not many miles from Mocksville
who killed a ten and a-half months
old hog a few days ago that tipped
the beam at ob pounds. We have
not yet heard how much lard was
made from this hog but jusi as soon
as the returns are all in we will pub
lish the amount. The funniest part
of the whole thing is that the hog
when it was a little pig was named
'Weaver,' and its owner started out
with the intention of making it the
largest hog in the county, lie suc
ceeded about as well as he " and his
party succeeded in electing old man
Weaver President. Moral: Anything
that bears the name of Third party,
or is tainted with Third parlyism,
in this country is bound to dwindle
away to almost nothing, if it ever
succeeded in becoming anything."
Now, will the editor, Mr. Co ley,
please tell us one thing, viz: Are the
Democrats as bad to steal corn as they
are votes 'i If they are, the great
wonder is not that the hog only
weighed ob pounds at 10i mouths
old, but that it "lived at all.
Now, Mr. Coley, please tell the
people which is the greater crime, i.
e,, to steal corn, or to steal votes '? If
one is a less crime than the other let
us know it, and oblige,

from the same proline mode ot gov

The national pAver to create
money is appropriated to enrich

the burdens of the people.
TIIK UI.I I'AKTIKS AKKAHiNKD.
Silver which has been aeeepted'as
coin since the dawn of history, has
been demonetized to add to the
purchasing power of gold hy de
creasing the value of all forms of
property, as well as human labor,
and the supply of currency is pur
posely abridged to fatten usurers,
bankrupt enterprises and enslave
industry. Avast conspiracy against
mankind has been organized on two
continents and is rapidly taking pos
session of the world. If not met and
ovcrthorwn at once it forebodes ter
rible social convulsions, the destruc
tion of civilization, or the establish
ment ot an absolute despotism.
We have witnessed for more than
a century the struggles o the two
great political parties for power and
plunder, while grievious wrongs
have been inflicted upon the suffer
ing people. We charge that the
controlling influences dominating
both these parties have permitted
the exising dreadful conditions to
develop without serious effort to
prevent or retrain them. Neither do
they now promise ,u any substantial
reform. They have agreed together
to iguor in the coming campaign
every issue but one. They propose
to drown the outcries of plundered
people with the uproar of a sham
buttle over the tariff, so that capi
talists, corporation, national banks,
ring, trust, watered stock, the de
monetization af silver and the op
pressions of the usurers may all be
lost sight of. Taey propose to sae
rilice our homes, wives and children
on the alter of Mammon; to destroy
the multitude in order to secure cor
ruption funds from the million
aires. Assembled on the anniversary of
the birthday of the nation, and tilled
with the spirit of the grand genera
tion who established our independ
ence, we seek to restore the govern
ment of the republic to the hands of
"the plain people," with which class
it originated.
TIIK WAR IS OVER.
We assert our purposes to be
identical with the purposes of the
national constitution "To form a
more perfect union, establish justice,
insur domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defense, promote
the general welfare aud secure the
blessings of liberty for ourselves
and our posterity." We declare that
this republic can only endure as a
free government while built upon
the love of the whole people for
each other and for the nation: that
it cannot be pinned together by bay
onets; that the civil war is over, and
that every passion aud resentment
which grew out of it must die with
it, and that we must be in fact, as
we are in name, one united brother
hood of freemen.
Our country huds itself confronted
by conditions for which there is no
precedent in the history of the
world our annual agricultural pro
ductions amount to billions of dol
lars in value, which must within a
few weeks or months be exchanged
for billions of dollars of commodities
consumed in their production; the
existing currency supply is wholly
inadequate to make this exchange;
the results are falling prices, the
formation of combines and rings
aud the impoverishment of the pro
ducing classes. We pledge ourselves
that if given power we will labor to
correct these evils by wise and reas
onable legislation in accordance
with the terms of our platform.
We believe that the power of gov
ernment in other words, of the peo
ple should be expanded (as in the
ease the postal service) as rapidly as
far as the good sense of an intelli
gent people and the teachings of ex
perience shall justify, to theendthat
oppression, injustice and poverty
shall eventually cease in the land.
THREEFOLD DECLARATION.
While our sympathies as a party
of reform are naturally upon the
s de of every proposition which will
tmd to make men intelligent, vir
tuous and temperaTe, we neverthe
less regard these questions impor
tant as they are, as secondary to the
great issue now pressing for solution,
and upou which not only our indi
vidual prosperity but the very ex
istence of free institutions depend,
and we ask all men to first help us
to determine whether we are to have
a republic to administer before we
differ as to the conditions upon which
it is to be administered, believing
that the forces of reform this day
organoid will never cease to move
forward until every wrong isremdied
and equal rights a nd equal privileges
securely established for all the men
I n,l om of til country. We de
J dare, th.-refore

limited to the necessary expenses of
the government, economically and
honestly administered,
1, We demand that postal sav
ings bauds be established by the
government for the safe deposit of
the earnings of the people and to
facilitate exchange.
1. Transportation being a means
of change and a public necessity,
the government should own and
operate the railroads in the interest
of the people.
a. The telegraph and telephone,
like the post-ollice system, being a
necessity for the transportation of
news, should be owned and operated
in by the government in the interest
of the people.
3. The land, including all the
national resources of wealth, is the
heritage of all the people, and
should not lie monopolized for spec
ulative purpose, aud alien ownership
of land should be prohibited. All
land now held by railroads and other
corporations in excess of their actual
needs, and all lauds now owned by
aliens, should be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual set
tlers only.
Sl'Pl'LKMEXT TO THE PLATFORM.
Whereas other questions have
been presented for our consideration,
we hereby submit the following, not
as a part of the platform of the Peo
ple's party, but as resolution ex
pressive of the sentiment of this con
vention: 1. Resolved, That we demand a
free ballot and a fair couut in all
elections and pledge ourselves to
secure it to every legal voter without
rederal intervention through the
adoption by the State of the unper
verted Australian or secret ballot
system.
2. Resolved, That the levenue
derived from a graduated income
tax should be applied to the reduc
tion of the burden of taxation now
resting upon the domestic industries
of this country.
3. Resolved, That we pledge our
support to fair and liberal pensions
to Ex-Union soldiers and sailors,
4. Resolved, That we condemn
the fallacy of protecting American
labor under the present system,
which opens our ports to the pauper
and criminal classes of the world,
and crowds out our wage-earners;
and we denounce the present ineffec
tive laws against contract labor, and
demand the further restriction of
undesirable immigration.
Resolved, That we cordially
sympathize with the effort of organ
ized working-men to shorten the
hours of labor and demand a rigid
enforcement of the existing eight
hour law on government work and
ask that a penalty, clause be added
to the said law.
(J. Resolved, That we regard the
maintenance of a large standing
army of mercenaries, known as the
Pinkerton system as a menace to
our liberties, and we demand its
abolition; and we condemn the re
cent invasion of the territory of
Wyoming by the hiered assassins of
plutocracy, assisted by Federal of
ficials. 7. Resolved, That we commend
to the favoiable consideration of the
people and the reform press the leg
islative system known as the initia
tive and referendum.
8. Resolved, That we favor a
constitutional provision limiting the
office of President and Vice-President
to one term, and providing for
the election of Senators of the
United States by a direct vote of the
people.
9 Resolved, That we oppose any
subsidy or national aid to any pri
vate corporation for any purpose.

"What nonsense all this is about
men dropping upon their knees when
they propose ! Such conduct is sim

These are the princes of the 1-and of
the iK.llar. Tho largest Ihighsh fortunes
fall short of these figures.
In r ranee, with their fortunes trans
l ,t...l ii-.m.-u M....rs .1 llonld and
J. W. Mac-key would le billionaires: and
1 beg to suggest to the editors of irelich
dictionaries the a idition of the word:
"Billionaire A jK-rson possessing at
least a thousand millions. This phuiiome-
non is found in America."
Needless to say that, with his millions
on millions, Mr. Jay (iould ii a juiwer.
As for contending with him. as well
try to break the bank at Moiito Carlo
with a ten cent piece.
I cannot guarantee that Mr. Gould is a
happy man. Coneernin;; immense fort
unes, a w itty American lriviid, rich m
moderation, and a great philosopher,
said to uio one day :
"No man can own more than a million
dollars. When his bank account out
grows that, he docs not own it, it owns
him, and he becomes its blave."
The two kiiis of American plutocracy
aro Messrs. Vanderbilt and Astor. The
name of Ling applies to them lesson ac
count of tho sizt of their fortunes ihan
the generous use they make of them.
They havo founded hospitals, museums
and libraries, and are known fur the
generosity w ith whicli they respond to
appeals lor help in philanthropical causes.
The Vanderbilt mansion in Fifth ave
nue. New York, is a princely habitation.
The luxury on all sides is extreme. In
the bath room, 1 am told, the walls aro
all mirrors painted thickly with trails
of morning glories, so that the bather
seems to be in u bower of (lowers. In
plate and pictures, many millions of
dollars must have been sjient. The pict
ures hang in two spacious, well lighted
rooms. They number one hundred and
seventy-four works, from thw brushes of
great modern masters. In the entrance
hall hangs a portrait of Vanderbilt I,
founder of the dvnastv.
The Americans, having no king in our
sense of the word, make the most of
those they have. To read the pedigrees
published in full every time a death oc
curs in one of these rich families, is
highly entertaining. A Mrs. Astor died
while 1 was in America, and, after the
enumeration of her charms and virtues,
came the list of John Jacobs from whom
her husband had sprung. The Astors were
all John Jacobs apparently, and were
mentioned as John Jacob I, John Jacob
II and John Jacob III. The line does
not go back very far, John Jacob I hav
ing gone to America as a poor emigrant
early in this century. I liciieve, and laid
the foundation of the present grandeur
of his house by trading in furs.
It will not do to inquire too closely
into the way in which some of Amer
ica's millionaires have amassed wealth.
As for the colossal fortunes of railway
kings, it is well known how thousands
of small ones go to make them, how the
rich man's palace is too often built with
the stones of hundreds of ruined homes.
There is no other name than "king"
used in sjioaking of the few great finan
ciers, who hold the bulk of the railway
stock in America. Hut they are not the
only ones. There are oil kings, copper
kings, silver kings, anil 1 know not what
other majesties in America, and when
you see the jiower possessed by these,
and the numberless trusts, combinations
and pools, you wonder how the Ameri
cans, who found one king one too many,
should submit so patiently to being gov
erned by scores.
