There is every prospect of an extreme
ly lively contest in the second district
for the place now occupied by Mr.. Deni-
son. New candidates are Matching out,
every week, and it will require a large
amount of Paris green to clear the field
for Mr.. Denison. The most of the can.
didates named are very worthy fellows,
but why not step right out and do the
sensible thing by nominating Judge
POland2 There are probably not one
hundred men In the whole district, who
do not believe him to be the most fit
man in the district for the place. We
may have curious notions about it, but
we should rather have Uncle Luke's ef-
fgy,-the brass buttoned, swallow-tail.

Nicholas, hotel dear to New Workers
by reason of its being one of the Oldest

public by reason of its being one of the

of this popularity it has always been

Montreal escaped riot and bloodshed
on the 18th, by reason of the forbear-
ance of the Orangemen, who abandoned
their purpose to march in procession.
They assembled in their hall, and while
there an immense crowd of roughs as
sembled at the entrance. The mayor
was in the crowd, and refused to give
them protection unless they would give
up the procession if they would do
that he would protect them to their
homes. The military not appearing to
protect them they accepted the mayors
offer. A few were arrested by consent
and will be tried in order to test the L.
gality Of the organization and of a pro.
cession in the streets. The unfairness,
partizanship and ineficiency of the gov
eminent cause much comment and wide
spread discomfort. causing revival o.

MIR. BARLOW A GREENBACKER,

In December, 1907, bradley barlow
addressed letter to Senator Edmunds,
in which he took issue with that states
man on the currency question. A few
extracts from that letter will show where
Mr.. Barlow then stood, and may account
for his popularity with a portion of the
Democratic press to-day. In view of
the fact that Mr.. Barlow is bank pres
ident, and doubtless large bond-holder,
his raid on the banks is not in good
taste, to say the least. After speaking
of the convenience of legal tender cur
rency, the amount then in circulation,
and the inability of the banks as well
as of the government to return to specie
payment, he says:
"The first step in the right direction,
and in the direction of making our pa
per money equal in value and converti-
bic into gold, will be to withdraw the
three hundred millions of National Bank
circulation, and substitute in its place
the same amount of legal tenders"
"The present relations of the banks
and government are an unmitigated evil,
and should be dissolved as soon as can
be done without Injustice"
alt is useless to expect of congress
any practical or beneficial legislation on
financial matters, as long as congress
feels bound to protect the banks. They
are an impeachment to wholesome fnan-
cial legislation"
practically we now have seven humid
red million dollars in paper money. If
congress should deem that sufficient for
the business of the country, let it all be
legal tenders"
In regard to the payment of part of
the national debt in legal tenders, Mr..
Barlow says:
81 am still of the opinion that it is
not only right. but that it is the duty of
congress to pay all the debts of the
United States, made since the passage
of the legal tender act, in lawful money,
unless the promise has been made to
pay the debt in COIN"
Livery consideration of honor, jus.
tice, good faith and sound policy de-
mands that the government pay the FIVE
twenty bonds in lawful money green
backs) as soon as it can be done after
maturity at its present standard of val
ue."
Of course the above means that when.
ever government sees fit to pay those
bonds, it can pay them in legal tender
at their then worth, whether it be fifty
or one hundred cents of their face value
So the whole contract of paying in COLI
can be repudiated, according to Mr.
Barlow's theory, and the FIVE twenty in
terest bearing debt can be paid in IRE
deemable currency.
"The promise at this time to pay tn,
principal of the fve-twenties in gold. O
its equivalent, | regard as a gratuity t.
the bond-holder, fraud upon the tax
payer, an act dangerous to the publ
credit and an act of fragrant injustic
and folly that the people would be like
ly to repeal"
But congress caused it to be under
stood by the act, that not only the in
terest, but the principal, should be pail
in "gold or its equivalent. and an
legislation after that which should loo
toward the payment of those bonds by
poorer kind of money than gold, woul
be an act of bad faith. Enough ha
been quoted from Mr.. Barlow's letter
show that he is, or was, as enthusiast
a greenback man as Ben. Butler.

IF Mr.. Barlow fails to get a nomina-
ton, it will not be for the want of an
intelligent support in the Messenger, his
home organ. That paper has made a
sharp, persistent and brave fight for him
from the beginning of the contest, and
continues still to advance with serried
columns. Last week, the Weekly Mes
Senger had about eleven columns on the
third district matter.

The Argus, which is always willing
to volunteer little assistance in an
emergency, now comes to the relief of
the Barlow party, and is doing valiant
service for Mr.. Barlow. Those who
know how hard Mr.. Atkins has labored
for the good of the Republican party,
will feel very grateful to him for the
generous help he is proffering at this
time. Mr.. Barlow being conspicuous
example of "the reformer" in politics,
there is ''feller" feeling between him
and the Democratic Mogul of the argus.

Major Den Perley Poore writes as fol-
lows from Washington to the Boston
Journal: Horace Whites intimation
that Senator Edmunds would make an
excellent Republican President has met
with hearty response here. He has
many of those rare qualities of head and
heart which make men truly and thor
oughly great. In the Senate he stands
foremost for compactness of logic, and
his freedom from demagogery and dia-
tribes for buncombe. Personally, tie
charm of his conversational powers. his
bright, keen wit, and his fund of anec.
dote, make him popular among all for
tunate enough to know him, while he is
untainted by scandal and free from all
alliances with the great lobby schemes
of his time. He would make grand
Republican President.

For several days past, the weather
has been extremely hot in all parts of
the country. The greatest loss of life
from sunstrOkes, reported for some
years, has resulted in the West. 1t is
probable that more than 200 deaths
have occurred in st. Louis from sun
strokes, during the last ten days, and
from all parts of the West come the
same accounts of intense heat and loss
of life. In the East the heat has been
very severe, but the loss of life occasion
ed by it has been small. The thermom-
eter has recorded from So to 100 de-
grees in all localities.

GEN. GARFIELD ON The ONE
DANGER.

In his Fourth of July grafton at
gainesville, Ohio, Gen. Garfield referred
to the danger hanging over the Repub-
lie. He did not think we should have
any foreign wars, or that there would
be any further attempt to disrupt the
Union, but that the whole trouble would
come from within. He continued as fol-
lows:
There is a struggle soor to come,
against which must be brought to bear
every element of patriotism aid religion
within our confines. A movement is
going on to which we must not shut our
eyes. 1t is the so-called war between
capital and labor. The disturbing ele-
ment in this case was not born on the
Hudson; it was born on the Seine, and
has no part in our life. Eighty years
ago, when the bloody Commune of
France, after its march of cruelty and
terror, was finally suHjugated, the rem
nant fled across the ocean and took ref
uge in New York, in Philadelphia, in
Cincinnati, in Chicago, and in all our
great cities. And this element has been
working ever since and is working to-
day to corrupt our people with the pur-
pose of making French hell in the
heart of the United States. There may
have been some excuse in France at that
time, as in many of the monarchies of
the Old World, for the existence of such
class. If L had lived there it is pos
sible l might have felt like them, and
rebelled against kingly tyranny that
had become almost too oppressive for en-
durance. But in this country there is
no such condition of things. There is
not boy in this crowd, black or white,
no matter how poor or humble, if he has
the ability and energy, but may rise to
the top; career is open to him, and
therefore he has no need to resort to des-
perate and criminal remedies. / tell you
this clement is foreign to US, and when
it comes here it soon gets baptized. No
doubt there are wrongs between capital
and labor, and wherever they exist, in
Gods name let them be righted But
make all obey the laws. Any man who
talks otherwise is demagogue. II
Christianity and right are to prevail
against this danger it must be confront.
ed by three things: First, intelligence,
disseminated by the light of our schools
second, by giving all the play and force
to Christian morality that it is capable
of receiving and third, by using al
our powers to enforce the laws. But
don't believe that such people as ours
are destined to be broken down; it il
only necessary for us to understand {
uanger IN order TO avoid 1t or crush 1t
And in the whole wide circle this is tEt
only danger can see. Leaving on
that, L should say that the coming years
sloped forward into grandeur. 1t would
be shame, after all the dangers ant
obstacles which we have overcome, to lie
one undo all the glorious victories al
ready achieved. But we have only t
remember with the poet that
