There is reason to believe that the
president and secretary of the treasury
have scheme Of finance upon which
they hope to unite the democratic
party, and that 1t includes the devel-
opment of state banking, to take the
place of national banks. and to over
come the widely prevalent silver lu-
macy.
They might do something If 1t were
not for the fact that a compromise
with unsoundness affects the whole
system, and the democratic party is
simply unsound on money. A majority
of democrats desire the debasement Of
money, and do 1t because they wish
debts to be paid with cheaper stuff
than the contract calls for The rough
of the fact is, they want percentage
OF reputation, and the larger the per
cent. the stronger the sentiment. Sill
yer is the first step, and the next is
more greenbacks." First the silver
slide then the greenback leap.
The Chicago platform had gold
plank In 1t, and also a catamount
plank. The demand for the repeal of
the Sherman law was a fraud be-
cause It did not say whether gold or
rags was meant or mention at all what
was to happen after proposed action
The demand for the repeal OF the tau
that prohibits state banking meant
business. for 1t would open the way fol
the revival of the dirtiest and most
swindling paper money that ever was
used by crooks and sharps to bunco
people. =! .lalalI

chance to harmonize his party.
1t has even been stated that he wrote
his letter of acceptance so strongly In
favor Of state banking that It was re-
rejected in solemn conclave. and cut
down and out, until It was mutilated
almost beyond recognition, Stin he
got the unsound ideas into the letter
OF acceptance; and they were very use
full in holding the democratic lines In
the South against the vigorous on
slaught Of the populists. Several close,
personal friends OF the president have
been saying curious things about state
banking, and putting things in such
ways as to indicate that they had been
commissioned to skirmish and ascer-
tain public opinion; but the skirmishlng

Carlessness Causes a Brisk Blaze In the

Cariessness Causes a Brisk Blaze In the
Industrial Trust Co.'s New Building.
An alarm from box 146 was rung i'm at 2
p. m. today for blaze in the cellar of the
new Industrial Trust company building,
at the corner of Westminster and
Exchange streets. The blaze was quickly
extinguished. The fire was caused by the
igniting of the contents of barrel OF
naphtha In the cellar. John Smith, one
of the workmen employed i'm the
building, went into the cellar to fill his
torch with the fluid. He had lighted
torch with him and set it down at little
distance from the barrel. In some
way the contents of the barrel
became ignited and fiared up
in great blaze. Smith was stand
ing close TO the barrel at the time and the
sheet of flames caught him singeing his
face and hands badly and burn
ing the hair on one side of his
head to crisp. Fortunately he had
sense of mind TO close his eyes and mouth,
and this probably saved his life, as the
skin on his face was scorched. The de-
partment responded quickly, and the
blaze in the barrel was promptly put out.
Dense volumes of smoke poured from
the windows OF the building and led to
an erroneous idea that the entire struct-
ure was afire. Smith was attended by a
physician.

train. This was being done
when the accident occurred, but
from present appearances it is believed that
the conductor neglected to place flag
man on the track to notify approaching
trains.
The engineer of the passenger train
did not see any signal, and
so imagining that the track
was clear, as it usually is at this
time, he pressed forward until
the freight train was seen
in the distance when it.was to late too
avoid the collision.
Captain Euny's Prompt Action.
Captain Duffy Of Steam Fire Engine
company No. 10, stood on
the bridge overlooking the
road-bed. He saw the two trains
on the same track and realized that
collision was inevitable. Loss OF life
seemed eminent and perhaps fire would add
its share TO the horror. With
characteristic presence OF mind he rushed
to fire alarm box 128 and rang
an alarm. This action insured plenty
OF help in case of a ca
tastrophy. Luckily the accident
did not result SO disastrously as
anticipated, and the prompt arrival
of the foreman had an assuring effect
upon the citizens fiocking to the scene
and the terrorized passengers and railroad
men on both trains.

One of Nntnre,a Wonders.

In the extreme eastern edge of Ari- zona, some forty miles west by south of that remote pueblo, Juni, N. M., there is most remarkable natural phenom- enon-a great, shallow, salt lake in q bowl-like depression, the sink itself be- ing some hundreds of feet deep and three miles across. The basin, all that portion of it not taken up by the lake, is dazzling white with millions upon millions of sat crystals. In the center of the lake rises what appears to be a cone-shaped volcanic peak. Should you take the trouble to ford the lake and explore this peak-a task neither dis agreeable nor dangerous-you will find instead of a crater of smoking, seething mud miniature lake in the middle of the peak, clear as crystal and as pure as any spring water.
