swer is that in 1873 when these statutes
were so carefully revised the silver dollar as
provided in the then existing law was
north more than dollar an gold, more in
the money market of the world. There
wac no use then in issuing the dollar, be-
cause it would go into the melting pot,
being worth more than a god dollar
Cong. Record. LIST sess. Forty-fo fourth Cong.
p. 2,735.
Remember, if you please. that this de-
monetization act, as it passed the senate,
not only provided for the silver dollar, but
reduced the value of the silver dollar to
that of the French five-franc piece, as ex-
planned by Mr.. SHERMAN himself above.
And the value of the ive-franc piece in
1873. as determined by the director of the
mint, was 96 cents Now, what do you
think of Honest" JOHN SHERMAN Here
are three different explanations of that
characterization (he also denied that there
was any demonstration on another occa-
sion) each contradicting the other, and
each is clearly false. You can take your
choice of them, but whichever you take
JOHN SHERMAN remains a self-convicted
liar, and the decentralization law of 1873
remains without any adequate explana-
ton from him. The probabilities are that

money OF foreign bondholders.

THE republican platform adopted at
minneapolis is chiefly notable for what it
does not say. At a hasty glance it appears
ahat in but one particular is the party
fairly and squsrely committed by this
document to any direct line Of action.
The party is unequivocslly pledged to
maintain the present outrageous system of
tariff taxation. In direct alignment with
fhis is the pledge of government support
to the Nicaragua canal. One is essential
TO the other. The vast expenditures
necessary TO carry out the work Of pierre
Ing the Central American isthmus would
furnish an excellent excuse Cor
maintaining the high rate of
tariff taxation demanded by the pro-
tected barons. Tariff taxation would be
necessary to bear the expense OF the
canal It is a brilliant scheme of two
propositions, each of which means the
same TO the people-more taxation The
declaration on the silver question is only
significant in so far as it in
suits the chief executive by implic-
lilly demanding that he forego his
constitutional prerogative in the exercise
of the veto power. It is the first platform
ever adopted by an American political
party which sought TO deprive the presi-
dent Of the veto, or TO limit him in the
exercise thereof. Such q proposition
could only emanste from a party hope
1essly and utterly committed to Reedism
and McKinleyism, and utterly defiant OF
all constitutional limitations

Democracy Well satisfied.


The democracy of the country, and es-
peoislly that portion of it resident in In
diana, will be highly gratifed with the
work Of the republican convention. The
nomination of HARRISON practically assures
democratic success in Indiana and il
Mr.. CLEVELAND is nominated at Chicago,
as we believe be will be, also gives assur-
ance that the country will repudiate the
party of the trusts. OF the corporations, Of
the monopolies, of the tariff takers; the
party of the HARRIsoNs, DUDLEYs, RAUMs
and WASAMAKERs in November.
BENJAMIN HARRISON emerges from the
Minneapolis convention far weaker with
the country than he entered it. The vote
which nominated him shows conclusively
that he was not the choice of the
masses of tho party, more especially
in the republican states. The lack of en-
thusiasm on the part OF these masses,
who have seen their idol thrust aside by
the ofice-holders and the representatives
of the corporations and trusts, WILL in
itself, prove a great source of weakness
to Mr.. HARRIsoN's cause. Still more
dangerous to that cause is the
relation in which the presidents sup
porters in the convention stand toward
the people. Americans always resent the
interference of office-holders in their
affairs, and when these are backed up by
such representatives. of monopoly as
CHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEw and GEORGE NJ
PULLMAN, distrust is added to resentment.
HARRISON is essentially the nominee Of
the monopolies, the trusts, the corpora
tiOns in partnership with Wall-st. and
the great bread-and-butter brigade
which fattens on the presidential
patronage. He is not the nominee of
republicans who are republicans from
principle, but of those whose special in
terests will be advanced by his admins
tration. His nomination, owing to the
methods and the men which brought it
about. will do much to disrupt the party,
and insures its overwhelming defeat in
November, if CLEVELAND is the democratic
nominee, and at this time it seems certain
that he will be.
WHITELAw REID as the candidate for
vice-president will bring no strength to
the ticket with the exception of what can
be derived from the contributions of the
Southern Pacific railroad through his
father.in-law, d. o. Mills.

Mr.. HarrIson,s Purchase.

In all the conflicting reports and state
ments that have come from Minneapolis
during the republican convention there
has been perfect unanimity on one point.
Press representatives OF all parties and ell
factions have agreed in it. 1t is that the
nomination would depend on the pur-
chssable representatives from the south
ern states. The views as TO which side
was getting the upper hand in the vote
market have varied and con6icted. but it
has been evident that the Harrison
crowd had the advantage in several ways.
In the fret place they have the Offices
from now to March 4, 1898, aud a
very large proportion OF the southern
brethren were ofiice-holders. In the sec
ond place the protected interests leaned
toward HARRIsoN because the "reciproc-
ity" theory was too largely an imitation
OF free trade 10 suit them. In the third
place the buying for HARnsoN was con-
centrated, while the opposition "bAr'P

A Remarkable Liar.

A few days ago WILLIAM TRUEsDALE
OF Beatrice. Neb.. was granted an absolute
divorce from his wife.
The reasons he recitod for his applics-
ton to the court were most remarka-
able. In brief, she was a monumental
liar, regular female Mulhatton.
TRUEsDALE avowed that she told 10000
lies within the three years of their mar
ried liie lie declared that she could not
tell the truth, and that her passion for
tale-telling and Possiplng rendered life
with her unbesrable. Among the stories
that he filed with the court as coming from
her were such as the following: She told
him one day that his mother had
been found dead IN bed, murdered
by unknown persons. On another occa-
sion she startled him with the information
that their nearest neighbor, and bis per-
sonal friend, had made an attempt 10
criminally assault her. She secured $50
from her husband at one time by telling
him that she had just received a letter
from lawyer informing her that she had
fallen heir to large fortune, and that
the lawyer required $50 to Sc
cure the fortune. The believing
husband shelled out the money and the
wife bought herself new dress with il.
Another time she startled him with the
information that their little boy had
tumb.ed into the we'll and broken his leg.
The boy was asleep in his crib at the time
One OF the most heartless stories that she
created and which led To very serious re-
suits was to the effect that their preacher
had eloped with the hired girl, deserving
his wife and five children. The husband
repeated the story and it cost him 500 and
he narrowly escaped conviction for Grim
inal libel.
She was dangerous woman for Mr..
TRUEsDALE and he determined to get rid Of
her. The court after a full hearing of the
case granted him an absolute divorce.
