A CONFESSION,

lIlldlu HuBn hOUtTVS lIleu W pUuI
oil on the troubled waters In the Dem
ocratic camp through lengthy article
in the Standard two weeks ago. He
attribu teS the defeat of free coinage to
the great desire for Democratic sue.
cess this year. He says:
at may be interesting to consider
the real cause, with so many members
really favorable to silver legislation, of
the silver bills defeat. 1t was not that
the southern or western members had
changed their opinions, or been intim-
idated by any cause from voting their
real sentiments. But the conviction
that the Democratic party might lose
its hold in New England and seriously
injure its standing in New York in
duced the men from the south and
west to relinquish their personal pref
erences for the good of the Democratic
party in the coming election"
There is nothing new or nothing par
ticularly palative about that statement.
1t has been known for these many
years that New York and New Eng
land dictated the financial policy of
the party, whence arises the tremen-
douS protest that sent so many Demo-
cratic congressman to Washington
pledged to free silver. Now that they
have violated the demands of their
constituents they have the audacity to
plead the same old defenSe-New York
and New England threaten the life of
the party. An open confession is
good for the soul, and we trust Mr..
Roberts feels better. Why is it that
so much more Difference is paid to the
desires of New York and New Eng
land than to those of the south and
west. For twenty-five years Shylocks
and corporations have been sucking
the life blood of the nation under the
Immediate protection of the Republi-
can party and the masses of the Demo-
cratic party have been held at bay by
the persistent cunning of the politi-
clans who cared more for success than
principle. Every Democratic candi-
date since 1856 has come from New
York and every time the party has as
readily yielded to Wall streets hand.
the only successful candi-
date, not only sustained the Shylocks,
but took advanced steps in their favor.
and befuddling the people
about five per cent d ifference in the
tariff, the deception goes steadily on.
In all seriousness, farmers, merchants
and laboring men of the Democratic
IS 1t not time to call ahalt ?
Are not your liberties and those of
your neighborS in the south as precious
to you as those of the Yankees? How
long will you pocket your personal
preferences" and permit yourselves to
be robbed in Difference to sentiment of
New York and New England-yOur
robbers. You are honest freemen!
We appeal to you now to join the great
uprising of the common people every
where! Strike hands with your Re
publican neighbOrs, who have come
out halfway to meet you. Do not al

TO PUT GOLD At A PREMIUM.
Why Gold Bearing Bonds and Notes are De.
manded by Lenders.

Kansas City Star.
To THE Star: The writer desires to
call attention to the custom, now prac-
ticed in all the Eastern money centers,
of requiring borrowers to give gold
bearing bonds and notes. The custom
in Chicago, Boston and New York is
to demand note payable in United
States gold coin of the present standard
offneness and weight. In view of .he
fact that gold is not now at a premium
and that the finances of the country
are unsettled by the agitation for free
and unlimited coinage of silver, the de-
mand seems reasonable. The unsus-
pecting sign readily and the stubborn
are forced by their necessities to sign
these gold bearing notes. As this Gus.
tom is also practiced in some foreign
countries and growing more general, it
is well to review the facts and endeayor
to foresee the result.
The value of gold coin in the United
States is about 600 million dollars. The
amount of Indebtedness carried in the
different forms Of bonds and
mortgage notes in the United States
exceeds 1900 million dollars. II is the
evident intention to convert all the
loans which are renewed and all new
loans into gold bearing paper. Ger
tainly all the paper will not fall due at
the same time, but consider this point.
There is not enough gold coin in the
country to pay even per cent interest
on the Indebtedness.
As both principal and interest are
made payable in gold coin, and as the
present law upholds such contracts as
legal, then it is only question of time
till our financial spectators will spring
the trap and demand any premium
they see fit for gold. The invasion of
a foreign army is less terrible to con-
template.
Bear in mind further, that the real
estate security demanded in addition
to these gold bearing notes is as ample
as before, and the loan usually les
than one-third of the value of the prop
erty on which the loan is made.
The only remedy which | can suggest
is the prompt passage by congress of a
law declaring all contracts hereafter
made illegal, unless made payable in
the legal tender of the United States,
whatever that legal tender may be
when the money is due. That, Of
course, will not affect the validity Of
any contracts previously made, but it
will nip in the bud this speculation in
the United States gold coins.
The law recognizes that the borrow
er is entitled to protection against US
ury and this is certainly one of its
forms. Could a law be framed that
would prevent such speculation, it
should be added to the constitution.
The United States legal tender should
be good enough for any citizen thereof.

Against the Woman Slayer.
EVERY MAN A WALKING ARSENAL.

Police. state omcials. soldiers and Citi-
zens Doing All in Their Power to Catch
the Fiend who shot Down Four wo-
men-A Firth Woman Wounded.
DENIsoN. Tex, May 20-The excitement
over the four murders of women here is
such that the military force, consisting Of
the Stanley Rangers and Denison Guards,
are patroling the city. The chief Of police
also has fifty deputies on duty. All per
sons found ON the streets during the late
hours have been taken into custody. The
Stanley Rangers had an exciting chase after
a man, and fred on him three times, but he
escaped. Major Waugh, prominent at
torney, discovered a man in his house and
discharged five shots at him, but the
stranger escaped in the darkness. The
whole city is terrorized.
A Finh Woman Was Shot.
In addition to the four murders it has
become known that fifth person was shot,
a woman in the resort Of Madam Williams
but the wound was very slight. The fu-
neral of those murdered on Tuesday night
was attended by crowds.
Except for the killing Of Miss Hawley and
the two fallen women, the commonly ac-
! cepted theory in the case Of May Haynes
would be that she surprised some one rob
bing her husbands safe, and was killed in
the desperate struggle which followed.
A Reign OF Terror.
There are few women in Deuison who
sleep peacefully. The fact that the muir
derer selected a woman for his victim each
time, and that, except in one instance, there
was no reason 10 suppose that robbery was
the motive, naturally created a reign Of
| terror among the women Of the com
munity.
Five hundred theories have been advanced
in explanation of the four crimes of Tues
day night, but it cannot be said that any OF
them has thrown any light on the terrible
mystery. No evidence has been found that
will even enable the officeps to form an in
telligent idea It is not known whether
one, two or more men did the shooting
