MIR. BURROUGHS, president OF the
Farmers alliance, scores the railroad
managers for the conspiracy by which
they defeated the denomination of Judge
Reese and suggests call for peoples
state convention and the nomination of
Judge Reese on the peoples ticket.
While nothing too severe can be said
about the method by which Judge Reese
was slaughtered in the house of his pre-
tended friends, THE BEE doubts exceed
ingly whether the proposed move
ment could be made success
ful. In the first place, there is
scarcely time enough between now and
election day for organizing an anti
monopoly campaign that would sweep
the state, and in the next place we
doubt very much whether Judge Reese
would consent to stand for an election
as the Independent peoples candidate.
To make spasmodic effort that would
end in fizzle would hardly advance
the cause OF anti-monopoly in this
state.

THE 9OID SJJppIY


The recent discovery OF rich gold
mines in Queensland, Australia, and in
South Africa, will quiet the fears OF
those who have apprehended a steadily
diminishing supply OF gold in conse-
quence OF the declining product OF the
mines OF California and of Victoria,
Australia. The reports regarding the
mines in Queensland represent them to
be richer than those of Victoria over
we're. Their production is being
pushed by powerful companies, and
London experts estimate that it
will this year reach fifteel million dol
lars, nearly double that Of last year.
One mine in Queensland Is said to be
the richest ever discovered, examina-
tions warranting the estimate that at
least two hundred mil ion dollars worth
of the metal can be taken out.
The richest discoveries, however,
have been made In the Transvaal re-
public. 1t was long believed that this
region was peculiarly rich in gold, but
its inaccessibility and the reprcssive
policy of its Dutch inhabitants
teHuCtCu en- NllerUS lOr UlnS undDle 10
obtain any knowledge of the extent and
richness of the deposits. Tempted by
the alluring reports of the mines. the
English in Natal and Cape Colony
finally overcame all opposition and en-
tered the gold fields, finding their most
sanguine expectations more than
realized. It is believed that the gold
mines of the Transvaal Wilt prove to
be as rich, and possibly richer, than
those of California and Australia.
Thus far the yield has not been
very great, but it is steadily
increasing, and with more ample
appliances for mining and better facili-
ties for transportation, it is expected
that the worlds supply of gold will be
largely and rapidly increased from the
product of these south African mines.
Meanwhile explorations are making
farther north and discoveries have been
made which, if truthfully represented,
promise in time an enormous addition to
the supply of this precious metal. At
any rate what has been developed in
these remote regions is sufficient assur-
ance against diminished gold supply
for many years to come.

SILVER AND THE MONEY SUPPLY.
The fact that treasury officials are
discussing the expediency of increasing
the coinage of silver to the maximum
limit under the law OF four million
dollars month, as reported in our
Washington dispatches yesterday, IS
significant of the condition of the
money market and the pressure that is
being felt at the treasury for relief.
For q week or two past the monetary
situation at New York has been close,
and there are conditions at work, other
than those of domestic nature,
which threaten to make it
closer. Solar as the commercial outlook
is concerned, it could hardly he more
favorable, but the increasing demand
for money is not met by a proportionate
increase in the supply. The treasury is
getting very small amounts of bonds
offered, and the relief to the money
market from this source is inconsider-
able. The national banks are not
adding to the circulation, but on the
contrary continue to surrender notes,
this loss being met by the issue of silver
certificates.
This is the state of affairs that has in
duced the treasury officials to consider
the policy of increasing the monthly
coinage OF silver.
Undoubtedly if this were done it
would give at least temporary relief to
the money market, but it is hardly
probable that the secretary of the
treasury will make so radical de-
parture at this time, with the meeting
of congress less than two months dis
tant. The position hitherto of Secre-
tary Window has not been
favorable to increasing the
coinage OF silver, and when
interviewed on the subject some two or
three months ago, he distinctly inti-
mated that there would be no increase
of the coinage unless directed by con-
gress. 1t is not impossible that his
views may have since undergone
change, but it is quite safe TO assume
that he will adhere to the policy pursued
for the past ten years until congress
can have an opportunity topass upon B. he
for relief of the money market
should become more urgent, the sec
retary may have recourse to two expe-
dients. He can offer more favorable
inducements to attract bond offerings
and he can anticipate interest on
bonds. 1t may happen that he will not
find it necessary TO resort to either, but
the administration is pledged to avert
any serious financial stringency, ana it
will undoubtedly act in due time in the
way that shall appear wisest. There is
very slight probability, however, that
there will be any immediate change in
the policy regarding the coinage of
silver.

THE SECRET BALLOT.

The elections in Montana and Con-
necticut, under modified form of the
Australian ballot system, have encour-
aged the advocates of that system to re-
newed efforts in behalf of its general
adoption. 1t is highly probable that
these efforts will be fruitful of quite
general movement by the legislatures
the coming wintor to establish the Aus
tralian system, and doubtless in some of
the states this will be done. The sys-
tenn will have another test in
Massachusetts next month, and
il it shall work we'll there the fact will
be further and II stronger encourage
ment to ITS advocates.
Every good citizen desires the purifl-
cation of the ballot, and If this can be
accomplished under the Australian
system with whatever notifications are
necessary to fit it to our political sys-
TEN it will undoubtedly be finally
adopted. But the elections in Montana
and Conpecticut are by no means
conclusive tests OF the purify
ing value of the Australian
plan. 1t is SAID to have worked salts
factorIly IN both states, rendering
bribery and intimidation to great ex-
tent impracticable, but as new ex-
pertinent it was not assailed by any Of
those devices by which the ballot is COR
rupted, nor were the conditions, par

KitIed by the Train,

As the passenger train from Tulla-
hOma approached this place at noon
last Saturday, about half a mile be-
yond the bridge over Barren Fork
two gentleman standing on the rear
platform noticed the body Of a man
on the track which the train had
passed over and horribly mangled.
When the train stopped at the tank
the matter was reported to the con-
duCtor, and a search Of the train was
made but no one could be found mis-
sing. When the train ran up
to the depot the cars were
examined and blood was found
on some of the wheels and
trucks. Several persons went out to
the place and found the dead body
of Robert Cantrell mangled and cut
up almost beyond recognition. Can.
trell was about II years old, and
worked at the spoke and handle fac.
tory. He quit work at quartering
time Saturday morning (between
nine and ten o'cleck), complaining of
being sick. Some of the hands at the
factory say that he was drunk when
he left the factory. BY the side Of
a cattle gap where he was found
there is a space of about two and a
half feet between two of the cross
ties. He had evidently fallen or lain
down in this place, and gone tosleep,
1t is probable that the engine and
several cars passed over him before
he was awakened and raised up suf-
ficently for some suspending por.
ton of car to catch his body and
drag it out. The main part Of his
body was dragged or rolled along
about hundred yards, while blood
and fragments OF flesh and bone
were scattered all along this distance
Coroner o. F. Bruster summoned 6
jury and held an inquest over the re
mains. A verdict was rendered sim
ply to the effect that deceased hat
