VINO voted agains the complete re nonetization
of silver.
Gov. Boyd and other democratic trick
sters were asked by Congressman Bryan
In the late Nebraska state convention
what they put free silver plank in
ti.or platform for last year if they
didn't mean it. The same question ap-
plies to every democratic platform in
the west, northwest and south. And
great many honest voters who have
been voting the democratic ticket for
the past twenty years under the i'm
preston that the party really meant
what it has SO often stated and re-
iterated in its platforms, are asking the
same question. Rather they have asked
for the last time. They are tired and
sick of treachery; tired and sick of
promises only made to catch votes, with
no intention of fulfilling them
The conclusion is inevitable that the
democratic party is no more sincere in
It's promises upon other important
issues than it has been upon the silver
question.
It's talk now about an international
agreement on ratio is but dodge to
catch the votes ''just once more" The
gold-bugs want the ratio 20 or % to l.
France gets along nicely Is to 1. En-
gland won't agree to any ratio She
wants silver demonetized in this coun-
try. 1t enables her to get cheap silver
with which to buy India wheat, and
she wants her American bonds to pan out
$50 or 200 cents on the dollar. Her ennis
saries can well afford to play poker
with majority of our congressman and
let them win big ''jack-pots." It
sounds just a little better for con-
gresham to say that he won $1,000 at
poker than for him to say he took it as
bribe. poker" has proven favorite
game in this state under similar condi-
tions.
The only difference that we can see
between the democrats and republicans
on the silver question is that the repub-
licans have been honest in their plat
forms regarding it. They oppose free
silver and uphold the law of 1890, and
say So The democrats claim to be for
free silver, but they are not, and by
their every act prove that they, too,
uphold the lazy of 1s90.-Chicago SEN

AN EARNEST APPEAL.

Let the Small Offerings OF the Common
People Form a Campaign Fund
We have reached crisis in the po-
litical history of our country. The con-
federated industrial organizations have
agreed upon platform and have called
a national convention to meet at Oma-
ha, July next for the purpose of
placing in nomination candidates for
the Office of president and vice-presi-
dent of the United States. The forces
which we antagonfze are INSCRIPTIONS
and backed by unlimited capital, while
on the other hand those who look to
the Omaha convention as the hope of
the republic and promise of reform,
though great In numbers are neverthe-
less poor in purse. We have no rich
corporations or syndicates upon which
to draw for our campaign funds We
must depend upon the small contribu-
tions from those who love justice and
equal laws as the source of revenue to
meet tcurrent campaign expenses. While
it is believed that all are willing to con-
tribute literally, yet it seems difficult
to reach the public so as to secure timely
and uniform action.
The national committee of the peo-
pies party requests that all who are in
sympathy with the action of the st.
Louis conference and the ends to be at
tanned by the national convention which
meets at Omaha on July 4 next shall
assemble in their respective counties
and localities on said 4th day Of July,
place themselves in telegraphic commu-
nication with Omaha il possible, and
that they then and there take up col
lection for the purpose of raising funds
to enable the national committee To
carry on the campaign. We further re-
quest that the funds be forwarded on
July to M. A. Rankin, treasurer of the
national committee, Terre Haute Ind.
We trust that the friends will respond
promptly and heartily to this call.

A CRISIS IMPENDING
Differences in the Reports Of
the Chilli Outrage.
REVIEW OF THE pRooUEAToR.
He Finds That the A American sa lors Were
the Aggressors in be Fight

An Issue That Can Only BE Settled By
the InvosHEation of On Impartial Tri-
bunsl--Sonor Romero, tlio Mexican Min
ister Has Rot Been Asked to Act as
Arbitrator President Harrison VIII
Soon srsal, to Congress on the subject.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Chilian affairs
are likely to be brought to a crisis within
the next two or three days. The report
of the Procurator Fiscal has been CON
cluded and is to be cabled to Minister
hontt to-day and will be laid by him
before Secretary Blaine. There is dis
tinct issue rs to facts between the results
of the trial by the Chilian authorities and
the presentation of the case made by
President Harrison in his message, which
was based on the report made by board
of officers of the cruiser Baltimore. Presi
dent Harrison says in his message:
These attacks were unproyoked, and
our men were conducting themselves in a
peaceable and orderly manner Some
of the police of the city took part in the
assault and used their weapons with fatal
effect -
There appears to be no disposition on
the part OF the Chili8u judge 10 probe too
deeply into the part tahen by tie Cbiliun
police, for the evidence of witness be-
fore Judge of CRIMES Foster Chat Doe saw
three policemen hold the American sailor
who was killed receives no further atten-
tion from the reviewing Judge Sura
ming it up he finds that the american
sailors were the agrga.ora, and that the
Chiliau" were merely ON the defensive
" is clearly impossible TO reconcile the
two views. There is an absolute conflict
of fact on every position. 1t is clearly
for the purpose of fortifying the Ameri-
can position, as laid down in the Presi-
dents message, chat Judge Advocate
General Benny is now on his way to San
Francisco to take the dep0stions Of sail
o1s on the Baltimore as soon as she ar
rives. While Americans will prefer to
believe that President HarIison's state
ment is the correct one, yet, oil the other
hand, diplomats here agree that equal
honesty and sincerity must be conceded
to the Chilian Government, and chat we
cannot claim, priori, that the Gillian
Procurator has deliberately falsiied the
facts TO Yindicate his governments from
an otherwise untenable position.
With two honest statements so widely
at variance there appears to be but one
cOurse-an investigation Of the subject
by some entirely impartial tribunal. A
statement that Minister Romero has al
ready been requested by Ministc. AIontt
to act as arbitrator proves to have been as
premature as the statement that the Ger
man Minister at Valparaiso had offered
the good Offices of Germany as mediator
between Chill and the United States.

PRoouRAroR FlsoAL's REPORT.
lie Cannot Tell who is Responsible for
tho Baltimore Outrage.

VALPARAISO, Chill, Jan. 4.-The Pro
curator Fiscal has concluded his review
of the Baltimore case.
He finds that Rodriguez, Gomez and
Azumada, the three rioters who were
held by Judge of Crimes Foster, are
guilty Of stabbing and otherwise wound
ing the American sailors, but he says
that the evidence is not strong enough to
show that the wounds inflicted by the
four prisoners caused the deaths Of Boat
swaiu's Mate Charles Riggin and Coal
HEAVIER Turubull. lie finds the Balti-
moro sailor Davidson guilty OF assault
upon a Chilian sailor.
Rodriguez acknowledged stabblng Rig
gin because the latter assaulted one o.
the sailors of the Chilian torpedo boat
Alnhante Cochrane. Seeing the Chilial
seaman ill treated Rodriguez stuck hi
knife into IiEsau's back.
Gomez admitted stabhing Tunbull II
the back three times, and said he did st
in defending some friends of his whom
Tumbull had knocked down.
Azumada denied having had anything
TO do with the assault, but was shown b!
other witnesses to have participated in il
Corte2, another OF the prisoners ais
alleged that he took no part in the attain
! A revolver was found on him, but b
/ said be carries it TO defend himself.
1t now only remains for Judge O
Crimes Foster to pass sentence on th
three convicted prisoners Relative
Cortez's implication the Prosecutor Fisci
says that more data are required.
The Fiscal comes TO the conclusion ths
nHHHms
