he curtain now drops on the first

1t remains to be seen whether an
American congress can be elected that
will represent the people; that can MT
be bought, bulldozed, coaxed and
cajoled int ,surrendering their constit-
uents into the hands of the British
money lenders.
1t is the most disgraceful and cow
ardly surrender that ever dis IGNORED
an independent people. If we knew
it represented the sentiment of the
masses of the people we would be
ashamed of our race. 1t ought for
ever to bury in disgraceful oblivion
every traitor who voted for it OF the
silver dem Gratis who fought so long
and hard TO save their party AID their
country from the sta OF dishonor
and the contempt of the people, we
withhold our judgment until we see
what they propose to do. If they are
patriots, if they love their country
better than they do their party, they
will never again make fight 10 place
the democratic party where it can in
fiict such infinite injury. They will
no longer train with the party that
has betrayed its trust and surrendered
the rights Of the people into the greedy
ands of English and Amer
lean money lenders. We shall see
what we shall see.

The republican press of the country
and the republicans in congress have
made a serious mistake in following
the lead of the democratic President
instead of standing up manfully for
the pledges Of their own platform in
regard to bimetalism. Their course
will have the effect of driving tens of
thousands of republican voters in the
west into the ranks of the populists-
This is not a pleasant admission to

President Cleveland's comp roller OF
the currency, Mr.. Eckels, in an ad-
dress before the American Bankers
association in Chicago recently, said
the bankers ought to have a respect
ful hearing in the adjustment Of laws
relating to financial matters. We are
not prepared nor inclined to deny this
statement in toto, but do insist that
their advice should b. received with
a caution inspired by the mistakes,
the wrecks and failures of the past,
on account of acting upon their sug-
gestions. 1t Is scarcely necessary 10
suggest that most if not all financial
disturbances which have wrecked
hundreds of thousands of fortunes and
thrown millions out of employment
can be directly traced to the action Of
banks, or to the inadequacies of the
systems which they proposed. The
despotic over which the Lanns had
acquired in Jackson's time, and the
heroic struggle he had with them j.
within the memory of some who are
yet living Every student of American
history knows how little they were
trusted in those days. jefferson. the
founder of the party that Mr.. Cleve-
land and MIR. h 'kels pretend to repre-
sent, was moved to SAY that
banks are more dangerous than
standing armies" In a letter TO
MIR. Gallatin he asserted that
This institution United States
bank is one Of most deadly hostility
existing against the principles and
form of our constitution" Andrew
Jackson was not one who believed the
banks banks of issue should have a
hearing" in the making OF laws. He
said:
"We are Lot left TO conjecture how
the moneyed power thus organized
and with such a weapon would be
likely 10 use it The distress and
alarm which pervaded and agita ed
the whole country when the Bank OF
the United States waged war upon
the people, and in order to compel
them to submit to its demands, cannot
yet be forgotten. The ruthless and
unsparing temper with which whole
cities and communities were oppresse =,
individuals impoverished and ruined
and a scene of cheerful prosperity
suddenly changed into one OF gloom
and dependency, ought to be indeli-
bly, impressed on the memory OF the
people Of the United Stat S"
had Andrew Jackson lived 10 the
year of our Lord 1898, he would have
witnessed the repetition of what he
so graphically described in the Lam
guage quoted: 1--WE are not left TO
conjecture" what they will do when
they have the power. Out Of the
musty history Of those days comes an
other prophetic voice, that Of Benton:
THE bank is in the field" says this
great statesman, enlisted for the
war, a battering ram-not to beat
down the walls of hostile cities, but
TO beat down the citadel OF American
liberty; to command the elections and
elect bank President by dint Of bank
power, The bank is in the field, a
combataut, and fearful and a ire
mendous one in the Presidential cleo
ton. II she succeeds there is an end
to American liberty, and end Of the
republic. The president of the bank
and the President of the United States
will be cousins in the royal sense of
the word"
In the light Of the present situation
could anything be more Faithfully
portrayed. The bankers want more
government bonds issued. Grover

OUR ANTITRUST LAWS.
Report of the b-Committee on the
Coal Combine.
A QUARANTINE BILL PASSED.
The Senate Appropriates One Million
Dollars to Enable the President to
Make it Enective--An Excellent Meas
ure Designed to Protect.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE report OF
the subcommittee on the Reading Coal
Company will probably be an interesting
document. The subcommittee has com
pleted its investigation, and Is engaged In
the preparation of its report. The con-
clusion reached by the committee Will al
feet the combine directly and indirectly
by adjudging it liable ID the antitrust
laws, and by attaching to the interstate
commerce bill an additional amendment
to head of any hedging on the part OF the
coal corporations. In speaking OF the
matter last night, leading member oil
the committee said:
eve have decided to take the bull by
the horns, and will recommend more in
teresting railroad legislation, so that sim
liar combines will be impossible. As
mart of the larger committee on interstate
commerce, the
subcommittee VIII Insist
that the present House bill on the regula-
tion of interstate commerce shall be radi-
cally amended before 1t is sent to the
House for favorable consideration. We
are acting to remedy the defects in the
law governing the operations OF the inter-
state commerce commission, and enueaV.
oring to make decisions OF that body hnai
and effective. In the next place you VIII
themselves liable to the antitrust law.
The interstate commerce commission
should be given wider jurisdiction, both
administrative and judicial.
"The testimony taken in New York has
brought out more clearly than the earlier
testimony the true inwardness OF the
plans of the commission to force private
In, "a
compel them to sell their whole product
to the combination. The plan pursued, o.
shown by the testimony, has been to puI
the freight rates SO high that private op.
orators could not deliver coal at prom
to buyers, while the combination wa
able TO pay the rates because they
Went Into It's Own Pockets.
The books at the coal company under th'
system show a loss, while the railroad
company is making a handsome sum from
freight charges. This so clear by the tes
timony now in hands that a prosecution
by the attorney general Will propably %
recommended. The change which will b
proposed in the interstate commerce laV
Wilt probably simply authorize the inter
state commerce commission 10 max
freights in such cases which they conside
equable TO all parties.
Meanwhile reports whlch reach mere iror
New Jersey indicate that the movement
which were inaugurated to break up tn
coal combine have had n very importan
effect. The information from Trenton
that the report tns. tSe coal deal IL brok
en-, and that the Readings combine Is de
serted by the Central, and the Jerseyroa
has Joined tke Pennsylvania, is undoubt
edly correct The information Is that tn
Central has Cancelled its lease in the tri
party agreement and the coal contract an
has withdrawn entirely from the combin
of the sale and output of its own coal.

Teresa Dean writes from Paris of new
avenue OF employment open to women.
Tho manufacturers of braids and trim
mings have young women employed as
{" demand Creators" They are bright
and attractive women, having fine figures
and exquisite taste in dress. One con-
Germ pays its "demand creator" 1000
year. She goes to well established dress
makers and asks them to recommend the
trimmings, OF which she leaves samples.
The more dressmakers she can persuade
70 recommend her employers trimming
the larger the demand created. She
makes il a point, too, to fall In with
ladies visiting the city, and to recon-
mend. in the most casual and disin-
terested way, "the incest dressmaker in
Paris" She invariably wears stylish
and superbly fitting dress herself, and

FINGER RINGS AND THEIR USES.
Queen hess and Raleigh = Northmen
Used Them for Money.

Queen Bess and Raleigh = Northmen
Used Them for Money.
Queen Elizabeth had an immoderate
love for jewelry, and the description
given OF her dresses covered with gems
OF the greatest rarity and beauty READS
like a romance, says an exchange.
For finger rings she had remarkable
fondness. Paul HentKner, in his Jour
new Into England" 1893, relates that
Bohemian Baron, having letters to pre-
sent TO her at the palace OF Greenwich,
the Queen, after pulling OF her glove,
I" gave him her right hand to kiss, spark
ling with rings and jewels-a mark oil
particular favor"
Among the old Northmen rings were
generally worn by rich people and per-
sons of rank. Such rings are frequently
found In barrows OF pagan date, ano
from their nature and quality 1t IL
easy to determine that they were gener-
ally of very simple workmanship; the
reason OF which undoubtedly isthatthes
were used instead of money in CONNER
cial transactions, and had, therefore, no
infreouently to be cut asunder. Stiii'
rings OF more artistic workmanship are
sometimes found in pagan graves.
Rings of Italian workmanship OF G
later period are remarkably beautliui'
Venice particularly excelied in this art.
In the Londesborough collection Is
fine specimen. The four claws OF ths
outer ring in open work support the set
ting OF sharply pointed pyramidal din-
mond, such as was then coveted for writ
ing on glass. The shank bears fancifui
resemblance to a serpent swallowing
bird, of which only the claws connectlns
| the face remain in view.
IL was with similar ring Raleigh
wrote the words on a window pane
"Fain would / rise, but that / fear To
| fall" to which Queen Elizabeth added
"Ii thy heart fail thee do not rise at all,
an implied encouragement which led him
| on to fortune.
| In the Londesborough collection is
