Cause of Hard Times.

The cause of the hard times in the
South is not the want of more money
in the country generally but in the
want of a proper distribution Of it. If
the South was not the best country in
the world it would have been pauper
lied before this time. The sectional leg
islation of the country has caused the
South to p..Y tribute to the North to
the extent countless millions. The
pension bills and high tariff bills are
constantly taking the money from the
South to the North. AS the Baltimore
San says, t..e Southern planter and the
and the Western farmer are subjected
to the drainage of federal taxation, and
the enormous volume of this drain is
not appreciated. 1t is sufficient to with
draw the entire circulating medium
from Southern States in an incredi
bly, short lime. Take the matter of
i pensions alone. Any one of the South
ern States has to pay several million of
dollars into the treasury for this pur-
pOoS. 10 WlGuuTdWU IRON THESE
States absolutely and put into circula
ton in the Northern States. If we add
to this the amount which the tariff
withdraws ION the South and West
and hands over to the protected manu-
facturers of the East, it will be readily
perceived why money cannot remain
in the Statef which are now clamoring
for it unless the farming industry is so
prosperous as to overcome all. The
truth is that the remedy for the troub-
les of which the West and South COM
plain lies more in an economical adj
ministration of government and an ad-
justment OF taxation upon that basis
than in any wild monetary schemes or
tinkering with the currency. The
scarcity of currency is the symptom.
Let the people, like wise physician
strike at the root of the disease and the
symptom will disappear.

What More Would You Have |?


AS the Lynchburg Adoaqace very
truthfully says, one of the leading de
mands of the Virginia Farmers ALI
ancemen is the free coinage of silver
They threaten to leave the Democratic
party and join the crusade of the So
called Peoples party, influenced chiefly,
if not solely, by this question. Well,
the prctext for desertion on this ground
is taken away. All the Virginia Rep
resentatives in Congress supported
the Stewart free silver coinage bill. II
the alliance had chosen all the Repre-
sentatives with reference to this ques-
ton alone, what more could they have
done y?
Now can any free coinage man in
Virginia desert the Democratic party
and vote for the Peoples party candi-
date with the hope Of getting a repre-
sentative who will do more for free
coinage, or will the cause of free coin
age be promoted by DESERVING these
Tree silver duU
Third party candidates? On the con-
trary, is it not certain that by a divis-
ion of the silver men into two parties,
several Congressional districts in the
State would be lost, given over to our
common enemy, the Republican partys
The action of the Congress has side
tracked silver for the present. That
question ought to be postponed till the
two more important issues-the force
bill and the tariff-shall be settled. 1t
is not wise to distract the voters by the
discussion of too many issues in the
same campaign. 1t is better to con-
centrate the attack on one or two
points, and overwhelm the enemy by
massing our forces. When we shall
have gained the victory, and dislodged
the enemy from their positions on force
bill and tariff, then we may take up
the silver question. and settle it at our
leisure.

GOVERNMENT DEPOSITS IN NATIONAL
BANKS,

A correspondent asks what advantage
there is to the Nation in depositing
government money in national banks
without interest. None that the Jour
nal knows of. 1t is necessary for the
government to keep a certain amount of
deposits in national banks at certain
points for business purposes, such as
paying pensions, etc., but beyond that
it is not good policy nor good business
management to make such deposits. 1t
was done during the administration of
President Cleveland to very much
greater extent than ever before or since.
At that time there was n considerable
surplus in the treasury, and as soon rs the
Cleveland administration was fairly in
stalled it began to distribute the surplus
in the form OF deposits among the na-
tional banks. Their distribution con-
tinued until in December. 1887, the gov
eminent deposits in national banks
amounted to $50. 1919, 9l7, a sum greatly
in excess Of any previous deposits. On
the Goth of December, 1884, less than
three months before the inauguration
of Mr.. Cleveland, the government de-
posts in national banks were S10,655,-

If there are any Indiana Democrats
talking that way they had better be
bored for the simples. The Democrats
never carried this State by anything
like the majority named. In 1884 CIeve-
land had plurality of only 6,427, which
Harrison turned into Republican plu-
rality in 1888 of 2.34S. The truth is.
either party would be glad to effect an
insurance on the State for 5000 plural
ity this year, although the chances of
the Republicans carrying it by 10000
are good deal better than of the DEM
ocrats carrying it by half that. Who
ever talks about either party carrying
Indiana by $4,000 majority does not
know what he is talking about.

THE efforts OF Democratic papers and
Anarchist sympathizers to make hero
and martyr out of private lams are
likely to be somewhat embarrassed by
the revelations concerning his character
and conduct as soldier. The colonel
OF his regiment says he was very
troublesome fellow. The first night he
was in camp he disobeyed the orders of
his superior officer. and was sentenced
to the guard-bouse. Another time.
while on guard duty at night, he was
found asleep on his gun twenty PAGES
from his post. Under military law this
0fftnse Is punishable with death, but
Iams got off with a sentence to carry a
rail two hours ON and one hour off for
twenty four hours. He had just COM
pleted this sentence when he used
violent and profane language towards
the colonel of the regiment, for which
he was not punished at all. His record
shows he was a bad soldier, and his
eliminating offense, under the condi-
lions and circumstances, was of the
gravest character.

PENNSYLVANIA BRlGANDS.
Followers of the Uu law Jack Cooley Take q
Terrible Revenge for his Dtath.

UNIoNTowN, Pa. July 27.-One of the
most daring bands of outlaws, next to the
Moliie Magulres. that ever persecuIed the
citizens Of this State. was until last Friday
led by jack Cooley. The band was named
after this fellow, who was noted for his
criminal record and his ability to escape
justice for his crimes. Cooley's band
robbed travellers and the farmers of the
surrounding country, fleeing to the coke
region when sheriff's posse would start In
pursuit. Once in tho coke region il was
almost impossible to make on arrest. 1t
would be tempting murder to follow
Cooley or his band of robbers into the tim
Der. where they had many supporters But
trap was set for Cooley last week and he
was captured and shot His last words
were: '.Sce that my death 10 avenged"
On Sunday Cooley was buried, and then
the remnant of his band began It's work of
revenge. To-day the facts of horn bio
crime came To light from the sheriff, vino
arrested Is man named Rankin for stealing
q flock of sheep. Since Cooley's death Ran
kin 10 said TO have been chief of the OH t.
laws; who appropriated q drove of sheep
from farmers who live near this town. The
sheriff secured from an eyewitness the
story of the methods pursued by the band
in avenging the death of their leader.
After he thefts of the flock of sheep the
outlaws drove them to this place and 20 Il

camp in the forest during Monday. Last
evening the band. numbering dozen men,

He was seized by the outlaws and
pinioned. His only child. a young girl.
was then assaulted by members of the band.
The helpless fathers cries were stitied by
blows and gag. His struggles for liberty
were stopped by . blow from a musket
butt. After accomplishing their revenge
for the murder Of their chief. the band do

ANARCHIST BERGMAN.

1t is great pity that Anarchist Berg
man cannot have a speedy trial and be
retired from.public view to the peniten.
tiary. where he belongs. He attempted
cOwardly murder; there is no doubt of
his guilt nor of the fact that the assault
was entirely unprOv0ked. Until he is
tried and convicted he will be an object
of interest to sensation mongers and
space-wrisers. and the public will hear
a great deal more of him than is profit
able or than it cares to hear. This sort
ofnOtoriety is what Bergman and his kind
revel in. They fancy themselves heroes
and rejoice in their evil deeds just
in proportion as public attention is
given to them. The effect of this long
continued notice ia bad for the criminal,
for the cranks who are moved to follow
in his footsteps, for the people of maud
lin sympathies. and for the community
generally. They DO some things very
we'll in foreign countries; in Great Brit
ain, for instance, murderer is not al
lowed to be an object of public notice
and of hero worship to other would-be
criminals for months before his trial.
He is deprived of no proper rights of
defense, but he ia brought into court
without useless delay and given his de-
serts. 1t would be we'll III Bergman
could be disposed of in like manner.

The indications are that the strike at
Homestead is nearing it's end. The SUI
perintendent of the works is receiving
a great number of applications from
non-uniOn men for employment, and is
taking his pick of those who offer.
Some of the strikers have returned to
work, and others have expressed a de-
sire to do SO if they could be protected.
Hugh O'Donnell, chairman of the ad-
visory committee and one of the fore
most leaders of the strike, has advised
a compromise on terms equivalent to q
surrender by the strikers. The refusal
to accept his advice will, it is said, be
followed by his resignation. These
things are the beginning of the end, and
foreshadow quite clearly the inevitable
outcome. In few days the back bone
of the strike will be broken, the mills

AN exchange accounts for the neglect
of important measures by this Congress
by the theory that the leaders resolved
that the Democratic party shall be re-
sponsible fof no particular policy in its
legislation until the November elections
are past. This may be correct, but the
leaders could not restrain the Demo-
cratic disposition to spend money nor
prevent a greater outlay than by any
former Congress. Deprived of the
privilege OF ranting about Republican
extravaganza and billion-dollar Con-
gresses," they lose some of their mo st
valued ammunition.
