A sHARE-UP IN PROSPECT.
Others of sheriff heIIey's STAFF May
Follow SharDIess.

There is likely tn be a general shake up
in the sherifFs office. Deputy Sheriff
Sharpless has resigned, or. as he puts it,
has been fred by Sheriff Kelley, and
other changes will probably take place on
the first Of next month. The Sheriff has
been on the lookout for a deputy for some
time, and has concluded that w. j.
Wilkes is the man he wants.
The sheriff had desired That nothing be
published in regard to the matter, but
yesterday the Sun stated that Sharpless
had resigned and that Wilkes would take
his place. Sharpless saw the item and
Immediately started on the warpath. He
did not meet Kelley until evening.
1t was reported on the streets last night
that the sheriff and his deputy
had a fight, but it was only a war Of
words that took place. Both claim that
nothing of any consequence occurred, but
an eye witness says the interchange of
sentiments was at least pointed and inter
esting.
A LEADER reporter got SharDless' side
of the story last night. 10 answer to
the question when did you send IN your
resignatiOn2" Mr.. Sharpless replied that
he had never resigned and knew nothing
OF it until he had read the item IN the
Sun. He said that he had never said he
intended to resign, but had dropped a re-
mark that might be interpreted to mean
that. 1t was when County Commissioner
Hoyt asked the deputy why he had not
opened the door which leads from the
Jail into the deputy's residence, sometime
during the night of the Jail delivery and
look in and talk with the guard as he
often did. S~harpless considered this an
intimation that he was 10 some way tc
blame for the jail delivery and in reply
ing said that if he was in the way he
would step down aud out. He evidently
thinks that Kelley blames nm for the es-
cape Of Parkinson and Miller.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sharpless say that their
boy was sick the night Guard Kelley was
held up, and theywere awake from before
| o'clock until $50 o'clock. They had
not heard the slightest noise. however,
until Kelley knocked on the Jail door.
Sheriff Kelley was seen last night. He
said that Sharpless had told around town
that it was his intention to resign, and
preparations we're made to get another
deputy. Is it true that you intend to
fire all your deputies and assistants on the
first OF the month";" was asked.
81 don't know" Kelley replied. |
haven't thought much about it, but there
may be some changes"

very likely will be. Zone thing l know

THE AUTHOR of ALABAMA"

A Glimpse at the Life of Augustus
Thomas, the Playwright.
First a page in congress, then a railroad
man, then an official of the Knights OF La.
Dor, then a student of law, actor, journal,
list, lecturer and playwright. This in brief
covers the workaday history of Augustus
Thomas, author OF "Alabama"-one OF the
most successful American plays, financial,
ly, of the time and an artistic triumph OF
the first magnitude.
When Fritz Emmett was playing to the
children of North st. Louis Gus" n

HATES or ADvERTIsING.
THE CAT OFT OF TIE BAG.

The adoption Of an American silver
coinage plank by the trans-M Mississippi
congress in session at Omaha was a fore
gone conclusion. That body was fixed
for it. Most delegations were made up
like that OF Wyoming ~excluaively Of Re-
puhlicans or of known supporters of this
latest freak to delude the people.
Secretary Foster, in his speech at Find
lay, o, last night, let's daylight into the
delectable Republican scheme with regard
to silver. AS explained BY Harrison's
secretary OF the treasury. the coinage of
Amencan silver would by no means mean
that the white metal was to be coined
upon the old ratio of sixteen parts of
silver to one of gold. The past expert
ence of eighteen years, during which time
SILVER has been a commodity shorn OF its
money function. is TO Offset the expert
ence OF centuries during which both
metals we're equally regarded as money.
The inference to be drawn from the Sec
retary's remarks is that some such ratio
as the present market value of silver
would Indicate will be adopted. say % or
% to /.
Foster was appointed secretary of the
treasury only after his views on the silver
question was thoroughly understood by
the president. This question was a dis
tinct issue raised at the time, and if his
views had not been IN accord with those
of the president he could under no con-
sideration have received the appointment.
As a member of the cabinet whose special
care is the financial department, the refer
ence which he made in his Findlay speech
to such a politically delicate question as
silver was undoubtedly with the full
knowledge and concurrence of the prcsi-
lent himself. This is peculiarly signif-
cant and important at this time. for 1t dis
closes the fact, long suspected and often
charged, that, no matter how the admin
istration may tenporize or manipulate
phrases, it is at the bottom bitterly antaR-
onistic to silver and fully determined to
no further recognize it.
Whether or not it is the part of good
politics" to keep quiet on silver in the
face of the presidential contest next year
is an open question, but it does not seem
to be a matter over which the politicians
have very much control The question
is being agitated by the people anc
through them it is being forced int
an issue. They cannot understand why
money should be scarce and so many
financial institutions East and South
closing their doors when the assured crops
are the greatest in the history of the
country and the demand Tor them prom
ises to be unprecedented. They know
that something must be wrong and as one
of the twin monster evils with protection
they place the demonstration of silver.
The issue is forcing itself upon the
country and the people have no reason to
expect the Republican party to aid them
IN its settlement.
