BILL HOOD DEAD,
= COl0red Giant. the StrOnges,
Man in America.

Man in America.
Bill Hood, a colored giant, who formerly
lived in Madison, Indiana, died recent,
at his home in jackson County, aged 7C
years. Hood was a remarkable man in
many respects, and for strength was with.
out an equal thirty years ago. He was 8
teamster, and often, while engaged in
hauling rock, would lift with perfect ease
and place in his wagon fagstones thal
would IT quire the strength of three or foul
ordinary men When his team would stall
III chuck-holes he would place his back
under the axle of the wagon and hoist the
load out of the hole. When in his cups he
was somewhat quarrelsome, and. conscious
OF his ~herculean strength, would defy the
officers of the law. Upon more than one
occasion they had to shoot and disable
him before they could arrest him. On one
occasion a crowd of railroaders caught
him in a saloon, and by doubling teams
on him thought they could whip him
They accordingly locked the door to pre-.
vent his escape, and then informed him OF
their intention, when he Immediately
commenced TO defend himself by taking
the. rlngleader by the nape of the mech
ana the seat OF the pantaloons, and rails.
ing him above his head threw him clesl
through the slow-window and out on the
pavement. He then began to knock the
others down with his fists, and foored
them right and left until he had the whole
crowd down, when he quietly unlocked
the door n made his way home, but not
without a good many bruises, as his an
tagonlsts had been busy all the time, be.
iaoorlng him with a~xhandles and such
Ike weapons. His su%perhuman strength
was such, however, that he soon overcame
things which would have killed an ordin.
airy man.

RECONCILIATION,

Republican stump speakers in Nevada
treat facts with contempt and go right
along asserting falsehoods. They claim
the credit of r%emonetizing silver for the
Republican party. Nevertheless, that
they opposed the reconciliation of silver,
in order to give the National Bank cor.
porations still greater opportunities tic
enrich themselves at the peoples ex,
pense, is evident as appears from the
record.
When, in 1873, the Act to Remonetize
Silver, providing for the coinage of not
less than two nor more than four million
silver dollars per month, and for the
issuance of silver certificates, receivable
for customs, dues, ETC., was passed into a
law, the National Banks sought by all
possible means to defeat it, and their
representatives and agents and that por-
tion of the public press which was con-
trolled by them denounced those who
supported this bill as d~emagogues,
knaves, fools, lunatics, and other hike
false and offensive epithets. This was a
measure in the interest of the people at
large and did not suit them. This bill
was passed over the veto OF a Republican
President by the following vote of Dem
Gratis and Western Republicans; Voting
for it, 1913 Democrats and 70 Republi-
cans; voting against it, 81 Democrats
and 81 Republicans.

DUBLIN. Oct. 16.-The Freeman's Jour
nal, in reviewing the programme OF the Ma
tional Conference, says it is strictly con-
stitutional and parliamentary. Only
within the lines of the Constitution can
the battle Of Ireland now be effectively
fought.
Elaborate military arrangements have
been made at the Vice Regal Lodge. The
soldiers leave the barracks only in couples.
Half of the available force has been re-
tanned in the barracks.
Harwood, the hangman, is threatened
with assassination if he ventures to go to
Ireland to perform an execution.
LONDON, Oct. I6.-The Times Constan-
tinople special says: The Sultan's accept
ance of Said Pasha's conditions for re-
naming in office, viz: Abandonment of
the Austro-G German alliance; the accept
ance OF accomplished facts in Egypt, and
the re-establishment Of a good understand
ing between England and France on the
Eastern question, was only in principle,
and that the Sultan really desires to frus-
trate Said Pasha's plans. The crisis still
continues,
CAIRO, Oct. Let is believed in official
circles that proof of Arab Pasha's compli-
city in the June massacres at Alexandra
will not be obtainable. 1t is claimed that
Ninet, the Swiss, can prove that many
Bedouins were shot at Arabs order for
looting.
DUBLIN, Oct. 16.-The demand for q
local self-government in the programme of
the National Conference includes the abo-
lition of nomination by the Government to
office, and the abolition Of the office OF
Lord Lieutenant. The Central Council of
the new league will consist Of thirty mem
bers, twenty of whom will be elected by
County Conventions and ten by the Irish
Parliamentary party.
CAIRO, Oct. 16.-Arabi Pasha persists in
declaring that he will defend himself if
denied English counsel at his trial.

GENERALIZATION

No better evidence is needed that the
Democratic party is the party OF the
people than it's friendliness to silver, and
consequently its enmity to National
Banks, which institutions are fostered
by the ring at Washington in order to
line their pockets with millions of the
public money. A question of paramount
Importance. in the discussion of which
the attitude of the two parties were
clearly defined, came up for action dur
ing the last session of Congress.
There were on the LIST OF September,
1881, one thousand one hundred Ma
tional Banks, with an aggregate capital
OF S45S, 934,4S5, and with a circulation
on the LIST Of November, 1881, of $685.
94l, ASS. The charters of nearly 400 OF
these banks would have expired during
this and next year, The banks sought
to have their charters extended fol-
twenty years more.
The great body of the Democrats de-
sired to allow their charters to expire,
and, as their notes We're withdrawn from
circulation, to supply their place by a
like sum of United States Treasury
notes. The Democrats objected to the
continuance Of the National Banks, as
banks of issue, not because Of any defect
in their currency, for that is good, but
because, for years past, these banks have
organized themselves into a political
power, dangerous to the best interests OF
the country. As evidence of this, and
without going further back, in the year
1873, a Republican Congress demon
etized the silver dollar in the interest
and for the benefit of the bankers and
bondholders. 1t benefited the bond
holders by providing that about one-half
Of the metal money of the world could
no longer be used i'll paying off the bonds
they held, by reducing the means Of pay
ing off our bonded and other debts, pub
lie and private, and by making it more
difficult to pay off these bonds it in
creased greatly their value as compared
with other property. 1t benefited the
banks by retiring the silver coin and
thus enabling them to obtain the profits
on the circulation of their own notes to
supply its place. And this was done in
the face of the facts that ours was one
Of the largest debtor countries in the
world, and was at the same time the
largest silver producing country in the
world. And it intensified the great
financial panic which was then covering
the country by a pail of ruin and bank
ruptcy. In this the interests of the peo-
pie at large were utterly disregarded.

There is a feeling broadcast throughout
the United States that Mormonism is an

which met in San Francisco on the 18th,
on motion of W. H. Hill of the Grand

olutions:
Whereas, 1t is a fundamental principle
Of Masonry to believe in and fear God,
and keep his commandments, and also to
be true and loyal to the Government in
which we live; and whereas we believe that
Mormonism, az now existing in the Terri
tory of Utah, is wanting in both particu-
lars, therefore
Resolved. That we sympathize with the
