The inaugural address is strong on
the tariff, trusts and Indian ques-
tions and vigorous in its condemna-
tion Of paternalism, and extrava-
gance in the government. But that
portion of the address devoted TO the
currency question is not calculated
to raise President Cleveland in the
estimation Of those who favor BIZ
metallism at the present ratio. A
careful study of it discloses o hidden
thrust at silver and IN intention to
consult foreign nations in the settle
ment OF the financial problems now
before the American people.
1t is as follows:
"Manifestly nothing ID more vital to
our supremacy as a nation and to the
benefcent purposes Of our govern
ment than sound and stable curren-
cy. Its exposure to depreciation
should at once arouse to activity the
most enlightened craftsmanship, and
the danger Of depreciation in the
purchasing power of the wages paid
TO toll should furnish the strongest
incentive to prompt conservative pre-
caution. In dealing with our present
embarrassing situation, as related to
this subject, we will be wise If we
cmper our confidence and faith In
our national strength and resources,
with the frank concession that even
these will not permit us to defy with
impunity the inexorable laws OF
tinunce and trade. At the same time,
In our efforts to adjust our differ
ences OF opinion, we should be free
from intolerance or passion, and our
Judgment should be unmoved by al
Turing phrases and unvexed by selfish
interests.
II am confident that such an ap-
proach to the subject will result in
prudent and effective remedial lepis-
lation. In the meantime, as far as the
executive branch OF the Government
can intervene, mono Of tho powers
with which it is vested will be with
held when their exercise ia deemed
necessary to maintain our national
credit or to avert financial disaster"

BOLD ATTEMPT
Made to Wreck An Express
Train On the Lake Erie &
Western Railway.

LIMA, o., May An attempt
was made last night to wreck the west
bound express on the Lake Erie and
Western railway
A heavy shipment of money was on
the train and that is what the wreckers
were after. Ties spiked together were
placed on the track a short distance
west of Paxton. The wreckers lay in
ambush.
The express was behind time and
local accommodation train was given
the right of way. 1t struck the Oh
struction and the engine and.
two cars were ditched No one
was injured. A fagman was started
back to flag the following freight
train and had gone less than one hun
dred yards when highwaymen, masked,
compelled him to go back at the point
Of revolvers. The robbers thought
the fagman was going to flag the train
which they intended to rob. The flag
man notified the crew of the wrecked
track and they went back in body
and were not mOlested. The freight
was tagged and a bad wreck pre-
vented.

USED DYNAMITE.
The Palmyra Prisoners Make a
Desperate Effort for
Liberty.

The prisoners confined in the Pal.
myra Jail made desperate effort at
q o'clock last evening 10 obtain their
freedom. says the Hannibal Courier
Post. AT the time Sheriff Pratt was
at supper and was startled by terri
bic explosion in the Jail. He immedi-
ately ran out to ascertain the cause Of
the loud report and discovered smoke
issuing from one of the Jail windows.
The loud report was heard for di-
lance of nearly a mile and in Il very
few minutes the jail building was
filled with people. Sheriff Pratt
summoned two or three assistants and
made an investigation. On unlock
ing the Jail door he found the building
filled with smoke and nearly all of
the business on the west side of the
room. The landing to the second
floor was burst by the explosion as
was also the windows OF the Jail. He
commanded the prisoners to 90 to the
other side of the corridor and they
obeyed willingly except Edward Bali
ing who seemed to be somewhat stub
born. Balling seemed to he stunned
by the explosion. Clark and Huffman
man were the only prisoners locked in
cells at the time and upon investigation
it,,was found that the dynamite had been
placed just outside of their cell, the
object being to blow open the cell door
and loosen the rocks of the wall
through which the prisoners intended
to make their escape. Sheriff Pratt is
almost positive that Ell Balling is the
one that used the explosive and he
suspects the party that furnished it.
1t was certainly desperate effort to
secure liberty and the prisoners took
very great chances.
The scheme had doubtless been con-
templated for some time and was
pretty well planned. Sheriff Pratt
suspected something of the kind when
he gave the prisoners their supper.
He says they are in the habit of hold
Ing kangaroo court" every afternoon
aud that this court is always held on
the east side of the corridor. Yester-
day afternoon, however, the "court'
was held on the other side as they did
not wish to have their preconcerted
plans interfered with. 1t was on the
east side of the corridor where the
dynamite was used. Sheriff Pratt is
positive that the dynamite was not
given to the prisoners yesterday.

sept does not show that Nettie Hall
WAS killed, bu; that dead child was
taken from the ruins of the burning
building and there was no testimony
relating to identification. 1t is also
shown by affidavit that the transcript
was changed after Judge Goodman
signed the bill of exceptions.
The case is one without a parallel
in the history Of the state. There is
no record of transcript or records be-
ing mutilated Or changed so far as any
of the records OF the supreme court
show. TIE proof on the part of the
state that the transcript had been
tempered with appears to be conclu-
sive, as the shorthand notes of the
official stenographer have been pre-
served, in addition to the positive at
fidavits of Judge Goodman and other
reputable witnesses.
The attorneys for Howell are Col.
II. w. Mullins of LinneOus and Ed
NJ. HARDER and ii. G. Knight OF
Trenton.
The court has taken the matter
under advi-ement and will doubtless
make such orders Us the case seems to
demand. An affidavit has been re-
ceived by the clerk of the court from
Circuit Clerk Burkholder of Grundy
county TO the effect that the transcript
he forwarded the supreme court is the
same as the transcript in his Office,
and that he has kept the same in his
possession as delivered by the official
stenographer. The matter Is mvs-
terry as it now stands, but every effort
will be made to ascertain the whole
truth.
