BADLY HURT.

About O'Clock yesterday afternoon n
colored boy, accompanied by a very small
white boy, was seen driving a grocery
wagon west on Second street and crossed
the Missouri Pacific tracks. When they
reached Waco the horse became excited
and unmanageable, so the boys let him
turn around and start for Main street at a
lively rate. They had gone only about
half block when the wagon struck post
at the side Of the street, the suddenness of
which precipftated the boys to the ground
about twenty-five feet ahead of the wagon,
with the little boy underneath. The har-
ness broke and allowed the horse TO go on
until he was caught near the corner
of Douglas and Main by Officer
Charles Snyder. When the people from
the Missouri Pacific depot and the dwell
ing in that vicinity reached the boys the
larger one had picked himself up and did
not seem much burt, but the little fellow
did not fare so we'll He was so badly
bruised up that be had to be sent home in
a carriage. He gave his name as Walter
Six and said that his people lived at l24
North Mead avenue. He is a very small
boy, seemingly not over six years of age
and was very neatly and comfortably
dressed. It is hoped that his injuries are
not so serious as they at first seemed TO be
and that he will be himself again soon.

Mr.. Fred Waller called yesterday to

Of the circumstance that formed the basis
Of the statement of zone of the Corps

to the matter spoken of, in which Mr.
Waller was presented in an unfavorable
light. 1t seems 10 have been a case of
mutual Misunderstanding between the

Congress VIII Make Il Loan.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Repre
sentative Springer of Illinois, speak
ING of the board of control of the
Worlds fair deciding to ask tor an
appropriation of five million dollars
instead of loan of that amount,
said II do not think there is any
good reason to expect this congress
to make an appropriation of the
amount specified, for this congress
will be quite chary in its expendi-
lures. Nor do | understand that
regular appropriation will be asked.
Congress will, however, | am conf
dent. make loan to the board Of
that amount; for, guaranteed as 1t
will be by the receipts, which will
aggregate three times the amount
asked, there will be no failure on
the part of the government to have
it repaid. Congress in this way
advanced | 10 million dollars to
the centennial, and know of no
reason why, for the Worlds Column
bian exposition, which will be i'm
measureably larger, the sum asked
should not receive the same gener-
Gus treatment" Kansas City Star.

The Money Question.

Since the election, John Sher-
man has admitted that the money
question was the greatest question
in American politics. Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, says that our
present financial system, if perpetu-
ated, will reduce the masses to
serfdom. Recent bankers meetings
have disclosed the fact that many
bankers favor free coinage of silver.
Verify the Peoples party is doing
good. 1t is forcing the great issue
to the front. The tweedle-dee-
tweedle-dum, tariff for protection,
ariff-for-revenue fellows, will have
a hard time in '92 to make the peo-
ple believe that tariff is the leading
question. A great many people
have learned that the tariff hue and
cry OF the old ring tflckSters was
and is, raised for the purpose OF at
tracing the attention Of the voters
while wholesale robbery OF the
masses goes on unchecked. John
Sherman is at least partly right.
The money question is the leading
question, and next to it is the
thieving corporation combines and
trusts. The cry Of more money, or
larger circulating medium, will be
heard in every state in the Union,
next fall, and down with monopoly.
John Sherman hears the whispering.

DANvILLE, ILL.,, Dec. II, 1891.

IAN WILLIE, ILL. DcC- IL, 1851.
Hon. S. M. ScoTT: Your letter
of the 18th Of Sept, asking me to
read and give opinion of The Sub
Treasury Plan just published by
you. | was then in the campaign,
speaking every day and continued
till the voting-then had lot of
special subjects to discuss, by re-
quest, that had been deferred. SO,
till the past week, the whole of my
time has been used-even up stub
as the saying goes. This explains
the delay. Excuse me for the seem
ing discourtesy. After looking
through your excellent work, let
me thank you, for you have "down-
ed'' many false gods and made a
grand highway for honest men to
pass along.
The book is just in time, just to
the point, and is sound. The Plan
is right. This have said time and
time again, before your valuable
work was out. There is nothing in
the constitution of the United
States against it-but that instru-
ment is in strict accord with the
Plan. The people are entitled to
all the money they need, at COST OF
CIRCULATING IT-MAKING IT. There is
where I stand. My motto is, and
has been, Let the crop control the
money, and not the money the crop.
This is exactly what the sub-treasu-
ry plan will do. 1t will down mo-
nopoly and enfranchise the labor
producing masses You have done
a good work, brother.
| send you slip cut from my
work OH the "Crisis'' where | give
in brief detail, the mode of getting
the money out, etc, etc.
Please let me hear from you.
With thanks | am yours for hu-
manity. JESSE HARPER.
