lar OF the county money. true, MI. |
j. Francis Bacon attempted to twist the
result of Mr.. Browns examination into
disclosure of Democratic peculation
and extravaganza, and the partisan re-
port he prepared was circulated all over
the county under glazing headlines, but
this untruthful report was Indignantly
.repudiated by the voters of the county
at the very first opportunity. And SO
we assert that Mr.. Brown was not "the
expert who ascertainod the frauds in
Sussex county"
Abiding to the political complexion
of the juries drawn for the April term
of the Sussex county court-nine Demo-
Gratis and fifteen Republicans for the
grand jury and eleven Democrats and
fifteen Republicans for the petit jury
the Georgetown Democrat says:
It is a singular fact that whilst those
drawn from hundreds represented by
Democrats number some from each party,
those from hundreds that have Republican
party. The inference is plain that
whilst the Democratic members put in
names from both political parties the Re-
publicans were partisans, as usual, and
only PM IN names q Their own party men.

show of fairness.
It is also fact that partisanship in
the selection of Sussex county jurors
was never dreamed of-in fact no one
ever thought Of counting how many
Democrats and Republicans, respect
lively, the panels consisted of-until the
Republican levy court came into power
and denied to the Democratic members
the right to put any names whatever in
the jury-boxes. The result was grand
and petit juries almost solidly Republi-
can. This year the Republican mem
bers, needing the popular clamor their
action had raised, allowed the Demo-
cratic members the privilege of making
selections, but they could not forget
their partisan preiudices an instant in
taking names for the hundreds they rep
resented and chose all Republicans.

higher grades. Mems wooden gloves,
formerly 81 are now $125. The paper
used for copying by the cyclostyle pro-
cess, formerly $1.40 per quire, is now
$1.75, on account of the Mckinley tax
Another significant fact is that old
stocks, imported before Mckinley
ism went into operation, are far
from being exhausted, and that
while any portion of these goods
remains on hand the competition Of
merchants will keep the prices down te
the old figures. 1t is also true that the
Mckinley bill has impelled manufac.
turers both at home and abroad to cut
down the cost of their goods by the use
of shoddy and other cheap materials, il
order to meet the imperious demand Of
consumers for goods at the old prices
And still, we may add, despite the in
crease in prices, the search for the work
man whose wages were raised in conse
quent of the Mckinley bill is unavail
ing as ever.

The session Of the Wilmington NJ f..
Conference, which closed at Centreyillc,
Md, Monday night, was Of much shorter
duration than usual. Whether this re-
suit was due to the prompt business
methods of the presiding bishop, or to
the anxiety Of the members to get away
from the dreary dullness Of Queen
Anne's county seat. is a question.

The following from the Boston Herald
is Of interest in view of the opposition
Of the Republicans of Delaware to
ballot reform when they controlled the
House, two years; "rhcre is still a
chance for the Australian ballot down
in Maine, apparently. Its defeat in the
House has been followed by its success
in the Senate, and the measure now re-
turns to the lower branch for further
consideration. The only argument that
has been used against the bill appears to
have been the fact that the Democrats
were in favor Of its enactment This
would hardly strike the average mind as
powerful reason for defeating ballot
reform, but it goes a great way down
East"

THE argument of a correspondent
that silver should be made dependent
upon gold because silver has deprecia-
ted in value since 1873, is not a very
strong one, when one knows the means
by which that depreciation was
brought about. Silver was worth
as much as gold at the ratio
then established. When it was
demonetized it fell in value because
one of its chief functions had been
taken from it. Its enemies crippled it,
and they now point to its disabled con-
dition as evidence of its unftness to
circulate alongside of gold. With as
much justice might the owner OF a
team hamstring one of his horses and
then beat it because it could not keep
up with the other that had not been
disabled

| ! respectfully ask you to publish the fol-
lowing quotations from an address by an
| able legislator. The doctrines which he
| promulgates have heretofore found express
| sion in many of your editorials, yet they
| are so logical and accord so fully with the
| experience of all obServant, candid patriots
| that their frequent presentation, in various
| forms, to the people, will go far towards
| educating the reading masses and dispelling
| the mists of fiat money and baseless ire
deemable paper, and the foolish notion that
| the government can create and supply the
| people with money. B.
| There is another question in which the
| people are vitality interested, and that is
| the currency question. They want good
| money and plenty of it. They want all their
| money of equal value. so that dollar will
| be the same whether it is made of gold or
! silver or paper. We have had this kind of
| money since the resumption of specie pay
ments in January, 1879. Nobody wants to
| go back to the old condition of things when
it was gold to the bondholderS and paper to
the pensioners; when the outstanding gov
eminent bonds We're 81, 800, 000, 900, and
banks could issue paper money upon the
deposits of bonds, the volume of currency
could expand upon the increase of business.
But that condition is passing away. The
bonds are being paid. and the time is COM
ing and has come when the amount of bonds
Is so reduced ana lnelr NalueS Is so IN
creased that banks cannot afford to buy
bonds upon which to issue circulating notes
We must contemplate the time when the
national banks will not issue their notes,
but become banks of discount and deposit.
The banks are evidently acting upon this
theory for they have voluntarily largely re-
duced their circulation. How shall this cur
rency be replaced! Certainly not by the
notes of state banks. No notes should circu-
late as money except such as have the sane
ton, authority and guarantee of the United
States. The best form of these Is certifi-
Gates based upon gold and silver of value
equal TO the notes outstanding. Nor should
any distinction be made between gold and
silver Both should be received
at their market value in the
market of the world Their
relative value varies from day 10 day, and
there is no power strong enough to estab-
lish a fixed ratio of value excep. the con-
currence of the chief commercial nations of
the world. We coin both metals ut a fixed
ratio. but we maintain them at par with
each other by limiting the amount of the
cheaper metal to the sum needed for sub
sidary coin and receiving and redeeming

BLAINE'S HEALTH.

Blaine's health has been the cause of
more contradictory dispatches in the
newspapers than that of any other
man in the country. 1t has been SO
ever since the bright Sunday morning
in Washington some years ago when
he sank under the heat of the sun and
sat on church steps with his head
supported on his wife's lap. That was
a fortunate stroke for Mr.. Blaine, as it
caused suspension OF congressional
investigation of his rape OF the Multi
gan letters, with the result that after
congress adjourned he was elected to
the senate and the matter was dropped.
Frequently since then his health has
been a topic OF newspaper discussion

/ have read with interest the proceedings
of the Fort Worth Alliance meeting. What
is all this row abouts AS l understand it
President Jones appointed certain COM
mittee, commonly known as the steering
committee, to attend the last sitting of the
legislature and to secure as far as possible
legislation in accordance with the Alliance
views. Certain members of the legislature,
who were also members of the Alliance,
issued circular denouncirg this commit
Zee, the president of the Alliance and the
official organ. The president of the ALI
ance called conference at Waco in which
all Alliances, without regard to their views
upon this or any other question, had a
right to be represented. The conference
almost unanimously Endorsed the commit
tee. One of the charges against the mem
bers of the steering committee was that
they favored the sub-treasury scheme,
though what their views upon this or any
other national measure had to do with their
efficiency as state legislative committee
has never been explained
The state Alliance of Texas will meet in
August and every representative opposed to
the ub-treasury will have right to be heard
at the meeting. The Alliance is reputed to
be regularly organized body with tribu-
mails authorized to speak with authority.
That the steering committee did not agree
with certain Alliance members of the legis-
latllre on the details of certain measures
was no cause for grievance, unless these
members believed that these committeeman
had been corrupted, in which event it was
clearly their duty to prefer specific charges
in the Alliance, instead Of indulging in
general denunciation to the public. That
members of the Alliance have a right to
oppose the sub-treasury goes without say
ing. but they must make their appeal to the
state Alliance, the tribunal which they
themselves have created, and they must
bow to its authority, SO far as recognizing
what Alliance demands in this state are
OF course they can withdraw if the demands
do not suit them.
To an outsider this Fort Worth meeting
looks very much like the elimination of a
determined effort to disrupt the Alliance
backed by the brains and money of poll
ticians. c. II. JENKINS.

No man who watches events closely or
who reads carefully can doubt that wonted
good times are at hand. As far As general
prosperity is concerned that has been pres
ent in Texas all the time, but prosperity
without confidence does rot make
good times. Confidence is rapidly re
turning. The wheat crop is moving, and
money is flowing to Texas. In thirty days
Texas cotton will begin to move
freely and more money will come
The farming classes have money and will
have more. The merchants will do large
business and with money in this section
industrial enterprises and building opera
tons will be under way

THE list of Governor Hogs enemies
is increased by at least two. Alice and
Lyons, who murdered Bowen, are re-
manded to Jail without bail. Governor
Hogg took hand in the case, and de-
tailed good counsel to represent the
state in getting at the bottom facts. 1t
is largely to this able prosecution that
Alice and Lyons owe their present con-
dition, instead Of being out on nomi-
nal bond. Let the murders keep up,
and the party represented by the Waco

IN OHIO.

The election of 4 Democratic governor
of Ohio Is not common event, even
with united and harmonious party.
With the party divided, as it now is,
and the relentless personal enemies Of
| the Democratic candidate ''knifng'
him, success appears impossible. AS
time goes by, this personal hate will
lose some of its intensity. The use of
polite means, the intercession Of
mutual friends, and above all, the offer
of some concessions by the Campbell
faction 20 the Cincinnati enemies OF the
governor. will do much to reconcile
them. And more than all other agen-
cies, the force of party discipline and
the excitement OF party feeling will do
much to allay this resentment and
bring to the polls in November the
Democratic voters, each with a Camp
bell ballot in his hand. There will not
be many votes lost on account of the
disaffection now so threatening to the
Democrats.
But the loss of even a few votes will
imperil Democratic success, while the
opposition is apparently united and en-
thusiastic. Mckinley has strong
following. The heavy manufacturing
districts are personally interested in his
success, because his defeat would mean
the overthrow of his exaggerated prin-
ciple of protection, and the loss of
profits that protection brings. They
are fighting for very existence, and
they will fight hard.
No estimate can be made of the
strength to be developed by the Farm
ers' Alliance in this contest. The
leaders OF the Alliance have boosted
that they would destroy Mckinley and
Sherman, but we know that they make
a very loud boast with little to back it.
There are great many Alliance men
in Ohio, and if they nominate a state
ticket and vote for it, the greater loss
will probably fall on Mckinley, but if
they do not run state ticket, leaving
the Alliance Republicans to vote the
Republican ticket and the Alliance
Democrats to vote the Democratic
ticket, the prospect of the election of the
Democratic candidate is not encourage

it. The demand for the free coinage of sill
yer without limit is demand that the peo-
pie of the United States shall pay for silver
bullion more than its market price; de-
mand that is not and ought not to be made
by the producer of any commodity. There
IS no justice or equity in it. If granted by
the United states alone, it will demonetize
gold and derange all the business transac-
tons of our people What we ought to do,
and what we now do under the silver law
OF the last congress, conservative meas
ure, is to buy the entire product of silver
mined in the United States at its market
value, and. upon the security of that silver
deposited IN the treasury, issue treasury
notes to the full amount of the cost of the
bullion. In this way we add annually to
our national currency circulating notes of
undoubted value. equal to gold to an amount
equal TO or greater than the increase of our
population and the increasing business for
our growing country

BUILDING FOR OUR EXHIBIT.
1t VIII Be One of the Largest and Hand
soonest at the Fair.
Chicago Herald.

Chicago Herald.
Texas will have one of the largest state
buildings on the ground Thomas J. Hur-
ley, president, and Dudley Bryan, secretary,
of the Texas Worlds Fair exhibit associa-
ton, were in conference yesterday with
Designer and Chief Atwood about the
building. President Hurley said they
would put up building to cover every foot
of space set apart for Texas. ''Our build
ing is to be 500 feet long and $50 feet across
at its greatest width. 1t will be $50 feet
wide at the narrowest point. L understand
that Kansas may not put up building"
Col Hurley continued, as he examined the
map of Jackson park. If that is so Texas
puts in claim for the space reserved for
Kansas We will need it and probably
more. Our state will raise every dollar of
s6OO,OC0 for the Worlds fair. We rely
on getting $500, OO0 by popular subscription.
Then the counties will raise that much
more. Galveston has already started out
to collect S2O,0O0.''
President Hurley decided to use staff and
Texas lumber in the construction of the
building. 1t will embrace many of the
features of old Spanish buildings in Texas
and New Mexico. President Hurley is
well pleased with the site chosen and
filed formal application for it yesterday.
AT least 100000 will be expended on the
building.

THE presidential battle is on. If
Mckinley is successful in Ohio he will
be the Republican nominee: and if Nc
Kinley is the Republican nominee the
logical result would seem TO be Cleve-
land as the Democratic candidate. If
Campbell is elected governor of Ohio
against the apostle of protection, it
would seem that Campbell should be
the Democratic candidate for presi-
dent. Could Mckinley defeat Cleve-
land for the presidency? Harrison did.

sensational dispatches sent out from
Bar Harbor concerning his alleged de-

discarded physician and in time the
newspapers may succeed in worrying

trife early to begin on his obituary,
but unless he quits public life for good
