Probably one Of the most des-
picable creatures on earth, is the
disappointed politician, who, after
exhausting every effort known to
cunning and ingenuity to secure a
nomination for Office and finding
himself defeated, Immediately re-
sorts to every species OF abuse OF
his more fortunate rival, and then
to make his infamy deeper and more
damnable, actsin the capacity Of a
spy and informer, furnishing am
munition to the enemy with which
to fire upon his party associates.
Such a perfidious wretch, when
known, should be singled out and
branded with the mark of political
infamy. Under no circumstances
should he ever be trusted or recog-

4 man who sees murder or
other crime committed is IN hard
lines always. When he comes to
testify the counsel for defendant
makes the witness out to be much
worse than the man charged with
the crime. The witness has to take
all the abuse of counsel for defend
ant. and the witness has to stand
every sort Of insinuation against
his character for truth and yeracity
because counsel for defendant viii
make out the witness to be rascal.
When witness is a poor man his

MORNING APPEAL.
THE REMEDY.

Senator Stewards exhaustive ar
ticle in the Enterprise was alluded
to in the editorial columns of the
APPEAL yesterday. but it is of such
length that it requires to be taken
up in sections. He believes the
bondholder's desire to confne the
world to gold coin is because it will
make their bonds twice as valuable.
1t is easily seen that with halt as
much money in the market it will
be twice as hard to get, and all
those who require money to pay IN
terest and taxes will have to give
twice as many days labor for 1t.
The article gives the history Of our
coinage as well as the bonded deot
of 'this country and Europe and
shows that the amount OF interest
paid on public debts every genera
ton is more than the principal. 1t
shows how standing armies are
maintained to collect it and laws are
manipulated to the advantage OF
the bondholders. As "a remedy MIR.
Stewart suggests that the treasury
issue certificates for silver bullion
at the rate Of 412! graius to the
dollar, and if that cannot be done
let the present law be executed to
the extent of four millions a month.
The investment OF S4,00O,000 a
month in SILVER bullion would soon
exhaust the surplus in the market
and create such demand for silver
as to advance it to par with gold,
The present product Of silver is not
in excess of the demand from In
dia and China. The additional
demand which would be created by
the investment of $4,0O0,OOO a
month instead Of 100000 in the
purchase of Silver bullion, with
the avowed intention on the part of
the United States to remonetize 1t,
would settle the question in favor
of silver as money. The gentleman
does not favor increasing the value
Of the silver coin, but thinks values
will adjust themselves in q short
time, so the coins will be Oh a par
at the old ratio.

year it is not certainly known. 1t is claim
cd that he lived to be one hundred and
twenty.six years old. If so, he died on the
18th Of March, 1893. He was buried at Down,
Patrick. A splendid monument was erect
ed to his memory, which was destroyed by
the fanatics during the reign of Henry VIII.
In the tomb of st. Patrick, the remains of
st. Bridget and st. Columb Kille were, in
subsequent time, laid.
ST. Patrick was like the most of men who
are intensely in earnest on any subject, fa-
natical. He waged a fierce warfare against
the ancient bards of Ireland. These were
Druids, and their poetry was so charming
that st. Patrick concluded that if it remain
ed in the island the people would lapse into
the Druidical worship. With his sown hands
he burned large number of volumes. The
people caught his spirit and initiated his ex-
ample. Some notion of the character of the
ancient poetry of Ireland may be formed
from poem, or collection of poems, called
Ossian, by James Macpherson. The origin
of Ossian is, however, not certain. 1t is
thought by many to be the work of James
Macpherson himself.
1t is claimed for st. Patrick, by his fol-
lowers and admirers, that he drove all the
snakes and venomOus beasts of all kinds oil
the island into the sea, where they perished.
It is fact that there are no snakes in Ire
| land, and probably there never were any.

LEARNING EASY THINGs.-There are
some bows who do not like to learn any
thing that is hard. They like easy lessons
and easy work; but they forget that things
which are learned easily are comparatively
little value when they are learned. y man
who confines himself to easy things must
do hard work for small pay. For example,
a bow can learn to saw wood in five minutes;
any boy can learn to saw it in the same
time; any ignorant person can learn 1T just
as easily; and the result is the boy who
has only learned to saw wood, if he gets
work to do, must do it in competition with
the most ignorant class, and accept the
wages for which they are willing to work.
Now, it is very well for Il boy to know
how to saw wood. But suppose he knew
how to build steam engine: This would
be much harder to learn than saving wood ;
but when he had learned it, he would
know something which other people did
not know, and when he got work to do,
other people could not come and get it away
from him. He would have a prospect of
steady work and good wages; he would
have good trade, and so be independent.
Bows should think of this, and spend their
early days in learning the things they need
to know in after years. Some boys are
very anxious to earn; but this is not al
waVs best. 1t is often more important that
boys should learn. When they are young
they can earn but little, but they can learn
much, and if they learn things thoroughly
when young, they will earn when they
are older much more than enough to make
up for the time and labor which they
spent in learning what to do and how
to do it.

AN INDUSTRIAL REvOLUTION.-A cor
respondent of the New York Tribune writes
from the New Orleans Exposition: There
is an industrial revolution going on in the
Southern States, as shown by the variety OF
products of the field, the forest, the mine,
the quarry and the mills exhibited here.
Southern pig iron is competing successfully
with that of Pennsylvania. -Four years
ago there was only 5S3, ,696 spindles in the
South. Cotton mills have increased SO rap
idly that now there are 100000 spindles
in the Southern States. That is, of course,
a small proportion of the 12, $50, 600 spindles
in the United States, but it is a fair indlca-
tion of rapid increase of manufactures IN
the South. New Orleans no longer gets her
coal from the North, but brings it from
Alabama and adjacent States. The ores
and mineral wealth Of the South occupy a
conspicuous place in the exhibits OF that
section. Railroads are being constructed to
reach these mines and open comparatively
new territory. In Florida, for instance,
there are twenty-eight projected roads with
charters, some of which have already be-
gun work. In Texas there is an average of
over a dozen new roads chartered at each
session of the Legislature. The numerous
small lines, which have been the charac-
teristic of the Southern system, are cons0ll-
dating into trunk lines, with sufficient mile.
age and capital to assure their successful
operation. The effort to secure the adop-
tion of the gauge on all Southern roads
most of them are broad gauge nOW-ls an.
other move in the direction of increased
through traffic. The Southern exhibits are
largely made up of raw material, but the
number of exhibits of these sources of
wealth, with the showing OF manufacturers,
indicate that the people here begin to rea-
lize the necessity for diversifcation of in
dustry."

Theory of the Prosecution in the WallxuI
Murder Case.

Theory of the Prosecution in the Wallxup
Murder Case. s-
E1IPORIA, Kan October 20.-The Walkup
case was resumed this morning, with a fuI
court room. County-Attorney Flighan, on be-
half of the state. explained to the jury the
theory of poisoning alleged against the defend
ant. He related substantially the circumstan-
ces of the marriage, the sickness of Mr..
Walkup, the purchase of poison by Mrs.
Walkup, and said that the state charged that
Mrs. Walkup married her husband with the
Intention of poisoning him, so as
Of his estate. That she procured poison in
that she administered the poison which caused
his de 4th, and that If the state proved this
theory it would expect the jury to find a YER
dict of guilty. If 1t failed to prove the theory
the jury would justly acquit the defendant.
AT the conclusion of Col. Feighan'S speech
the defense moved to dismiss the complaint as
without adequate foundation as shown by in
formation which had heen detailed to the Jury.
The motion was oVerruled. ~
The first witness was Eben Baldwin, of Law
renee. He testified he knew Walkup; that the
latter was large, powerful built man, over six
feet high, broad ShOuldered and Of a cheerful
disposition. He and Waikup went to the New
Orleans exposition last December; lodged at
Mrs, Wallace'S house and b9came acquainted
with the family, Including defendant.
James Collard, express agent for Wells,
Fargo u Company, testified to box coming
from Mr.. Walkul' s house; to Mr.. Walkup's
opening the box and taking it away instead of
shipping it, The box was directed to Mrs =.
Wallace at New Orleans. 4 ,r- o..
