WHEN there are clouds, we antici-
pate rain, but the rain does not al
ways fall. Such clouds are the
clouds of promise, but the earth be-
comes parched, and vegetation dies
as surely as if there were no prom
Uses. What is true of clouds is true
of political parties whose only claim
to suffrage is promises. Promises do
not down single robber combine !;
will not Tighten taxes single cent |;
will not control a single railroad |;
and the people will as surely perish,
and our republic be as surely de-
stroyed as if no promises had been
made. We have had enough OF
rainless clouds-mure than enough.
Each day brings to light some new
outrage practiced upon the people
by the men who made promises.
Our politicians are not only rainless
clouds, but their bosoms are hot
with the fires of bad legislation and
administration, and the whitening
heat of corporate power has become
an ever-preeent source of outrage
and oppression.

IT is claimed by some men that the
people must have leaders, and it is
certainly true that the people are
badly in need, when it is considered
that congress demonetized silver,
and the president signed the bill de-
monetizing it, and they were, with a
few exceptions, unaware of what
they were doing. We can pick
dozens of farmers in Anderson
county who can beat such leader
ship "cleah out of sight. Why,
such men would not make make
first-class African chefs.

PANICs.

The Topeka Capital, quoting "a
celebrated financial writer" informs
it's readers that "the symptoms OF
approaching panic are wonderful
prosperity" It is quite true that
great prosperity precedes panics,
and that panlcs come at time when
there is abundance of every neces-
sary of life. Prosperity is healthy
condition of industry and commerce,
and prosperity is no more a cause
for panic than health is cause for
disease. Panics can have but one
cause, and that is scarcity OF
money. To assume, as do the Cap
ital and the celebrated writer on
finance" that prosperity causes pan
les, is a gross absurdity. Panics are
arranged for by the men who control
the volume of currency, and the
fact that the nations and citizens of
the world are largely in debt makes
the panics a possibility, and makes
them success in that the owners of
property lose their possessions to
the owners of money. If panics
were prevented, prosperity would
go on interminably, just as health
would prevail in the absence of the
causes of disease. Even supposing
people are doing business on Dor
rowed capital, if there is continued
prosperity, there is a good chance
to pay off debt; and the history OF
panics shows that it is when the
people In debt are reaching the point
of being able to pay that the panics
are precipitated. Under ouT fnan-
cial system, a people in the depths
of bankruptcy must begin anew, on
borrowed capital (; and the end will
always be the same-another panic
lust when there is the greatest
prosperity

The vote in the house, Monday,
on the silver question showed that
the West and South stand together,
and that the East is ruled by the
money power. Now, let the people
of the South and West get together
and prepare for BUSINESS, for, by the
eternal, we will not be ruled by
Wall street!

FINANCIER CURTIS.

Congressman Curtis is in favor of
free coinage of silver, 20 to l, at
present prices of silver, and in favor
of creating a commission to regulate
the amount of silver bullion in silver
coin, according to the price of bull
lion. Under Mr.. Curtis plan, if
silver bullion should fall, say to-day,
the commission would meet and Or
der the director to call in all silver
coin, melt it and re.coih at the new
ratio. Should silver bullion go up,
the commission would order re-
coinage at another ratio, based on
the advance in bullion. Now, as
silver bullion is subject to rapid and
severe fluctuations, it is evident
that, under Mr.. Curtis plan, the
commission and the minis would be
kept so busy that there would be no
time for meals or fishing. In fact,
it is probable that the government
would have to enlarge the minis to
a capacity equal to the iron indus
try, and keep the dies red-hot all the
time-day and night. But, there
are some slight objections to Mr..
Curtis scheme, and one is that the
dollar might become 80 large that no
ordinary man could "tote" more
than two or three dollars at time ;
and another objection is that no Sill
yer money could be placed in circu-
lation, because the changes would
be 80 rapid that the most that could
be hoped for would be the employ
ment of a large number of men,
whose wages would have to be paid
in gold.
Mr.. Curtis, like Mr.. Funston, is
likely to add great brilliancy to the
Kansas delegation.

party need to do now is to have

The seat of government should be
removed to Kansas. Washington is
too close to Wall street.

IT is reported that the stalwart
Democrats expect to carry Kansas
in 1896. The presumption is that
the stalwart Democrats expect to
absorb the Republican party.

Iowa Republicans have gone back
on prohibition, "slick an clean,"
and now the decent members of the
party are calling for union of the
temperance forces of the state, re-
gardless of past political affiliations.
In fact, the Republican party of
Iowa has committed suicide. Gen
James B.. Weaver, in speaking of
this action of the Republicans, said {:
"The action Of the Republican state
convention in Iowa is a cowardly
surrender of the dearest interest of
the state to the demon of rum, and
is an unconditional surrender to
lawlessness and crime. 1t is an Of
fer to sell the souls and bodies of
our people for the spoils of Office.
Their platform makes common cause
with gold kings on the money ques-
tion and with the destroyers of our
homes and children on the liquor
question. The money power and
the liquor power are allies, and it is
natural that both should be cherish
ed and sustained in the state plat
form. If there was anything lack
ing to convince the people of the
utter decentralization of the Repub-
lican leadership in Iowa, this plat
form of surrender sets the matter
forever at rest. The moral senti-
ment of the state will fee from it as
from a pestilence. Now let the
good people of Iowa unite and stand
together as one man in defense of
their homes Down with all who
rob the people of their homes, either
through money famine or the rum
curse" B. St. John, of Des Moines,
writes to the Champion of Progress,
of Sioux City: "The time is ripe
for an anti-liquor, anti-monopoly
party, and thousands will join it at
once if the man for the hour can be
found" The Republicans will find
out, when it's too late, that they've
"done gone an done it,"

lola ON JOURNALISM.
Power of the English Press, He Says,
Due to Anonymity.

Power of the English Press, He Says,
Due to Anonymity.
Emile lola, the French novelist, who is
visiting London, delivered an address at a
meeting yesterday of the Institute Of Jour-
nalists, held at the Mansion House, the
official residence Of the lord mayor Of Lon
don.
The subject Of his address was "Anony-
nifty in Journalism" He said, among other
things, that the British press owed its
power and unquestionable authority to
anonymity. Politically the British news
paper existed only to satisfy the opinion Of
it's own party. 1t had been thus made by
public which had not been broken into
fragments by a revolution. 1t was differ
ent In France. where the fever of individu-
ality carried away everything. The French
were always seeking messiah. and in
dulged In ecstasies Of devotion to the new
god of the moment.
Speaking Of the claim made in some
quarters that the signing Of articles in
newspapers insured their success. M. lola
said that he was well aware Of the evils of
a system that had destroyed the authority
of the press, completed the destruction of
parties, and which often descended to a
mere personal brawl The spectacle pre-
s.:tel was sometimes heal trendinx. II
must he declared, convey a frightful I'M
preston abroad. Probably, anonymity
would restore honesty and disinterested-
ness, but the existing system produced a
splendid expenditure of courage and ideas,
which yielded light for all. 1t was a march
toward the future at breakneck gallop,
leading, perchance. to new world. He
could not blame the French press, since 1t
held out the hope Of a better society, based
upon justice and labor.
NJ. lola strongly and adversely criticised
anonymity in literary and artistic circles.
which, he said, endangered the intellectual
vitality of the nation, and was likely to
produce a mediocre and colorless literature.
1t was impossible to approve Of a man
able to WELD a pen who was converted into
a mere writing machine.

MAYOR TROUTS STATEMENT.

the Roanoke Mob and He Did 1t,

the Roanoke Mob and He Did II.
Mayor H. s. Trout of Roanoke. who had
charge Of the military and took such con-
spicuous part in attempting to defend the
jail at Roanoke from the mob Wednesday
night, gave Lynchburg reporter this YER
sion Of that affair: Il was called early in
the evening and went to the Jail Soon
after arriving there 1 felt. from the ex-
cited condition of the crowd, that 1t was
necessary for me to call out the military
OF the city, and Immediately did 50. The
jail was surrounded on three sides, and
stationed the soldiery at the best point to
command the approaches to the building
With fifteen of the young men, who were
nothing but boys. took command in front
was congregated. The military were being
jeered at by the crowd and asked Messrs
Watts and Woods to address the mob
This was about 7:S0 o'clock in the even
ing, and they addressed them with such
effect that the men soon began to waver,
and saw that they were going to dispense
and go to their homes. Just at this time
hundred country people appeared on the
woman lived who had been assaulted, and
the excitement was again in a fever heat
Again they surged around me.
Il pleaded with them and begged them
to go to their homes Recognizing some of
the men in the crowd spoke to them by
name and implored them to do nothing
rash. The excitement grew, and finally
some one In the crowd yelled Push the
mayor back, and at the same time two or
three shots were fired from the rear Of the
crowd and the mob began to crowd me-
Still l hesitated to do anything, and It was
not until l was pushed back to the line of
bayonets almost that l gave the command
to fire. The fire was returned by the mob
and 1 was shot in the foot by a man in
plain sight not five feet away from me-
He was armed with a 3S-caliber revolver.I
\ vxyI~
could have killed him, for / had a loaded
pistol In my hand, but did not fire at him
nor did discharge the weapon during the
entire riot and it is here, as it was before
l left home, with every chamber loaded.
THE second fire from the military was
very effective and resulted in driving the
mob back. The excitement having sub
sided In a measure l sent the military to
their homes and retired to the Ponce De
Leon Hotel. where l remained until last
night. when l boarded a special train ten
dered by the Norfolk and Western Rail-
road Company and came to this place.
deplore deeply the fact that so many inno-
cent men lost their lives, but do not
know how any one could have acted differ
emily In my position. Something had to
sion, and 1 pursued the only course left
me to maintain the law which 1 have
sworn to support"
Mr.. Trout would not say anything more
on the subject. He had spent day and a
night without sleep and was very nervous
and excited. He was then suffering very
much from the wound in his foot, but
nevertheless spoke concisely and clearly Of
the affair.
