Who Was It2f

A Middletown, Del, editor sat in
his easy chair number of years ago
when to his agreeable disappoint-
ment the sanctum door opened and a
comely Miss crossed the threshold.
Visions of gold appeared before the
editor, of course, and when the lady
-queried his advertising rates, he
blandly cried

And for another print the rate i.

Being convinced OF the rate and of
the fact that the editor was some
thing of poet, the lady said that she
desired to advertise her sister, who
she asserted was then visiting rela-

the hospitality of the Delawareans,

Low WATER MARK.

Silver has never been 30 low in the
history OF the world as it il at the
present time. The reducing OF it to y
very COMMON sort Of commodity in
1ais country has been utterly ruinous
TO the market for it. Silver was be-
trayed by the ACT of 1894. The pres.
ont law is worse than the old Blsnd
law. The CONGRATULATIONS the ratio
Of 412H grains to the dollar in toto.
There are silver certificates now out
issued on the market value Of the
bullion that represent 40 grains to
tho dollar, and more. And yet it was
claimed by q certain class Of poll
ticians In this State aud elsewhere
10 this West that tho bullion pnr-
chase law was better than free coin
age. The whole contest was given up
when the old ratio was lost sight OF.
How any intelligent friend OF silver
could have supported the present law
- one of the .conundrums that. will,
perhaps, never Do solved. It is q
Legislative monstrosity. Worse than
that, it is O cheat and Q fraud. It is
beneficial to Wall Street spectators
only. The enforced monthly pur-
bhsses of bullion makes a "chump" of
the Government and a soft and sure
thing for the sharks. They depress
silver between times and mark it up
a few points when Uncle Sam enters
the market as q purchaser. The
spectators care nothing about the
ruling price. They would 10 soon

cHlNA's RICHEST MINES.

The Most Valuable n1inefal Deposits Are
at JahO-worked by Coolies.
John Gildea returned to this city re-
Gently from China, where for the past
year he has been in the employ Of the
Chinese government ut the mines OF
Jaho, says the San Francisco Call.
"Jnho is the ancient capital of Mon
golia," says Mr.. Gildca, "'nnd is about
three hundred miles inland. On the
way to the mines We rode horseback all
the distance and passed through many
villages, the inhabitants of which had
never seen q white man. In some
places the women and children would
double lock the doors and hide, while
the men would follow US wherever we
went out Of curiosity. They didn't I'M
derstand how We came to be without
queues and were mystifled Mt our ap-
pearance and style of dress, but no at
tempt was made to modest US.
1.-The Jaho mines arc extensive ond
consist of lode sixty miles long and one
hundred feet wide. The ore is silver
bearing, but will not average more than
twelve dollars a ton. About one thou
sand coolies are on the pay roll and
each gets about FIVE dollars and a half n
month in Mexican money. They are
the greatest thieves I ever saw, and
many Of them, just for the love of steal
ing, would steal q piece of ore perhaps
worth not more than Eve cents, though
If the pilferer were caught he would
lose his pay and he bnmbooed besides.
This punishment is given by striking
the man on the muscles Of his bare lege,
and often 50 severely that the flesh IL
cut through TO the bone.
Much Of the mining machinery Is
first-class and was sent from this state,
and i doubt II any mine In the United
States is better equipped with modern
machinery than the mines Of Jaho.''

RAvIsHED BY NEGROES.
Two White Women the Victims-Dan
ger of Race Clash.

SCI VI o udC6 ClaSn.
GUTHRIE, OKLA, Juue12.-There is great
excitement IN this city tonight, occasi oued
by two criminal assaults by negroes upon
white women. To-day a negro lad named
Holley assaulted Mrs. Charles Moore. wife
Of freighter, who was away from home at
the time. he was arrested and mob sur
rounded the jail, threatening to lynch him.
The negroes of the town claimed
tnat Holley was innocent, although he
had confessed his guilt to the sheriff.
and race war seemed imminent for time.
Ihere was much angry talk, Judge" Per-
klns, a negro lawyer, being the spokesman
Tor the colored people. During the excite
ment he said: LET the whites harm that
man and the town will be in ashes before
morning." The sheriff smuggled the pris-
oner from the jail and took him to Wichita,
Kan, for safe keeping.
The second outrage was that made upon
the wife OF James Gehken, who is an engi-
neer OF the electric plant by an unknown
negro who escaped. A posse headed by
Genken Is on his trail and will lynch him If
they capture him.
NEGROES SURROUND THE JAIL,
GUTHRIE. June 10, Has P. M.-There
now seems TO be considerable doubt as to the
removal OF Holley from the jail. The negroes
say that the statement was circulated by
the whites so that the negroes would dis
perse and give the whites free field for
lynching. A great mob of negroes now
surrounds the jail and more are arriving
every minute. The negroes have
sent couriers to Langston City, a negro
colony ten miles distant, with a report
that the whites are about to lvnch
an innocent negro and many negroes are
hocking here determined to protect the
object OF the mems vengeance. Many
negroes are armed and hundreds Of whites
are carrying Winchesters and revolvers.
The police have been largely reinforced.
Intense excitement prevails and any
Insignificant encounter between black and
white may lead to race war. Sheriff
Hickson and Chief Of Police Kelly are
dlsarming the negroes as many as fifty shot
guns and rifles have been taken, and also q
number of small firearms These weapons
were taken from three colored men who
have just arrived from Tohoe, seventeen
miles distant Col. Park is commander of
the territorial militia. He reported to
Acting Gov. Markham for duty, but the
situation does not now seem serious enough
to warrant calling out the troops. Gangs
of excited people are on the street corners
All congregations Of negroes are being or
dered to disperse. The police and deputy
sheritfs are kept busy moving the negroes
Information has just reached here that
the negro who outraged Mrs. Genken was
overtaken by posse at 8 o'clock tonight,
six miles south Of town, and shot to death.
This news has greatly intensified the excite
ment, and the negroes are threatening vio-
leuce. The officers have been aware of the
lynching for some hours, and began dis
arminR the negroes before it became gener
ally known, anticipating that the news
would drive the negroes into frenzy.

Appropriation Bills to be Considered
by the Senate.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-Ths business of
the Senate during the coming week will be
governed to great extent by and will be
dependent on the extent to which the
republican senator's who have flocked in
such large numbers to Minneapolis, will
have returned TO Washington and have
again taken their seats in the chamber.
In any case, however, some progress may
be made on the general appropriation bills,
two of which the legislative and agricult-
ural) we're received from the House last
Thursday and referred to the committee on
appropriations (where the postoffice bill is
also pending) and several Inference reports
will probably be presented to the Senate
and agreed to during the week.
The silver bill will not be taken up for
action until after things political shall have
got back to their normal condition tsubse-
quent to the democratic national conven-
tom, but speeches may be expected upon it
and on the currency question during almost
any days session. Mr. Morgan is ready to
take the floor upon thelsilyer question when.
ever he sees an opportunity of
extracting the views Of certain senator's
and Mr. PETER has given notice of his in
tention to address the Senate tomorrow on
hia peculiar bill ito increase the currency
and provide for its circulation, to reduce
rates Of interest, and to establish bureau
OF loans," and finally Mr. Call proposes next
Wednesday TO pay his respects to certain
railroad companies which show, as he
thinks too much interest in the question of
VINO shall be elected to the Senate.
