SILVER COLUMN.
The Words of Two Republicans of Nation
al Repute on the Dominant
Question.
INGALLS, ON GOLD.


In his speech in the house few days
ago, Mr.. Newton C, Blanchard, of
Louisiana, gave many quotations from
eminent men and some not SO eminent.
Among others he gave a portion of
speech delivered in the senate by John
}. ingalls, in the senate in 1873. Mr..
Ipgalls said:
mo enduring fabric of national
prosperity can be builded on gold.
Gold is the money of monarchs; kings
covet it, the exchanges of nations are
affected bI it. Its tendency is TO accu-
mulate in vast masses in the CONNER
cial centers, and to move from king
dom to kingdom IN such volumes as TO
unSettle values and disturb the fiRan-
ces of the world. 1t is the instrument
of gamblers and spectators AMI the
idol of the miser and thief. Beng the
object of SO much alteration, it becomes
naughty and sensitive and shrinks at
the approach of danger, and whenever
most needed it always disappears At
the slightest alarm it begins to look for
a refuge. 1t flies from the nation at
war to the nation at peace. War
makes it fugitive.
mo people in great emergency
ever found faithful ally in gold. 1t
is the most cowardiy and treacherous
of all metals. 1t makes 10 treaty that
1t does not break. It has no friend
that sooner or later it does not destroy.
Armies and naYieS are not maintained
by gold. In times of panic and calam-
ity, Shipwreck aud disaster, it becomes
the chief agent and minister of ruin.
No nation ever fought great war by
the aid of gold. On the contrary, in
the crisis of greater peril it becomes an
enemy more potent than the foe in the
field; but when the battle is won and
peace has been secured gold reappears
and claims the fruits of victory.
In our own civil war it is doubtful
if the gold of New York and London
| did not work US greater injury than the
| powder and lead and iron of the rebels
1t was the most invincihle enemy TO
the public credit. Gold paid no soldier
or sailor. 1t WAS worth most when our
fortunes were lowest. Every defeat
gave it Increased value. Ii was in
open alliauce with our enemies the
world ever, and all its energies were
evoked for our destruction. But as
usual when danger has been ayerted
aud tue victory secured, gold swaggers
TO the front and asserts the supremacy
| But silver Is the money of the people
1t Is the money of wages and retail.
| Its tendency is toward diffusion and
| dissemination 1t enters into the min
ute concerns of traic; and is exchanged
day by day for daily bread. Il pene-
trateS the TemoteSt channels of COM
| merce. and its abundance. bulk aud
small subdivision prevents its deporta-
| tlon in sufficient amount TO disturb or
| unsetlle values. If it retires at the ap-
proach of danger. or from the presence
OF an inferior currency, II still remains
at home ready 10 respond at the Grst
summons for IFS return.''

DR.. GRAVES SUICIDES.

The Alleged Murderer of Mrs. Barnaby
Ends His Troubles in the Denver Jail
Asserts His Innocence.
DENVER, Col, Sept 5.-Dr. 7. Thatch-
er Graves, the convicted poisoner of
Mrs. Josephine Barnaby, committed
suicide in his cell at the county Jail,
presumably by taking poison. He was
found stiff and cold in death by the
''trusty" who has been caring for him.
On his person was found the following
letter:
To the Coroner of Denver:
DENVER, Col, Aug. Dear Sir: Please do
no not hold an autopsy on my remains The
cause of death may be rendered as follows:
DIED from persecution. Worn out Ex-
hauSted Yours respectfully,
T. THATCHER GRAVES, M D.
As is well known, DR.. Graves was in
prison awaiting his second trial for the
alleged murder of Mrs. Josephine Bar
naby, of Providence, who, at the time
of her death, was visiting friends in
Denver. She died April 10, 1891. On
April she drank from a bottle of
whisky that had come by mail from
Boston and that was labeled: .Wish
you a happy New Year. Please accept
this fine old whisky from your friends
in the woods
Among the letters left by the doctor
was one directed to his wife. very
lengthy one, and another addressed to
the public. The latter was a long APP
peal and an assertion of his innocence,
with bitter remarks on s'Ikey Stevens, -

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 5.-Despite
the vigilance of the United States Gus
tom house officials along the Rio
Grande border, the exodus of China
men from Mexico into this country
continues unabated. 1t is estimated
that no1ess than 500 of the unwelcome
foreigners have smuggled themselves
across the border and have been sue
cessful in making their way undetected
into the interior of the United States
during the last three weeks. The
sheriff of Medina county captured four

DIED AT HIS POST.
An Express Messenger Killed in
Defending His Trust.
A Frisco Train Held Up at Mound Valley,
Kan.-Afessenger Chapman Killed and
the Passengers Robbed-Pur-
suit of the Gang.

PARSONS, Kan, Sept 5.-One of the
boldest and most daring train rob
berries that has ever occurred in Kansas
took place at Mound Valley, twelve
miles south of this city, at 500 o'clock
yesterday morning.
The western express on the Frisco
was boarded by three men, just as it
entered the station. The engineer and
firemen were covered by one of the rob-
bers, while the other two made for the
express car. They demanded that
the door of the car be opened.
The messenger refused to comply
with their demands, and they COM
menced to fire in to the car, in the hope
of frightening him into opening the
door. The plucky messenger returned
the fire and three shots were exchanged,
when he was heard to cry out, 81 am
killed.
The lull in the shots from the express
car caused the robbers to pry open the
door, when they found that the cry was
no ruse, but reality.
They then took the train and ran it
about half mile from the station, when
they proceeded to go through the pas
sengers. The firing into the express
car had awakened many of the passen-
gers, while others were awakened from
their slumbers to find themselves look
ing down the barrel of Winchester in
the hands of a bold bandit The pas
sengers were frightened out of their
senses and dumped the contents of
their purses and pockets into a big
sack which one of the robbers carried
The robbers secured nearly 5000 in
money and collection of eight or ten
gold watches, together with lot of
wearing apparel Two of the robbers
were masked. The ropber who was
not masked was about 25 years of age,
five feet nine inches in height, weight
about 40 pounds and wore black
mustache with hair a shade darker
than mustache, and showed Indian
blood in his veins.
The name of the dead messenger was
Charles Chapman, and his home was at
Joplin, Mo. The robbers are sup
posed to be the same three men who
robbed the Santa Fe depot at Inde-
pendence, Kan, last Friday night.
The holdup has caused intense ex-
citement and an armed posse is now in
pursuit of the robbers. The news of
the robbery soon spread and the people
of Mound Valley turned out of their
beds only to find the robbers gone. Nc
money was secured from the express
car, for, with the messenger dead, the
robbers were unable to open the safe.

Home Rule Bill Passed.

LONDON, Sept. 3.-Mr. Gladstone has
put the capstone on his wonderful pub
lie career, and no matter whether his
work for Ireland shall or shall not re-
suit in actual home rule it will not be
possible now to rob him of his last
laurels, for the house of commons has
set its seal of approval on the home
rule bill by vote of sol to 267. That
the measure will be rejected by the
house of lords in short order is certain,
and that an appeal to the country will
follow is also equally certain.

WOMEN WORKERS.
Resolutions Adopted by the Kansas Equal
Suffrage Convention.

Resolutions Adopted by the Kansas Equal
Suffrage Convention.
KANSAS CITY, Kan, Sept. 5.-At the
Kansas Woman's Suffrage convention
Mrs. Johns introduced the following
resolutions, which were adopted with
out dissenting voice:
Whe reas, We, the women in convention as
sembled in Kansas City. Kan, recognize and
believe that the submission OF the equal suf-
frage amendment at the present time Is an evo-
luton and not a revolution: that it is simply
one more step in the progress OF civil govern
ment and that it is in the spirit of mutual help
fulness and not antagon1stic, that We ask
the support of the men to this cause; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That inasmuch as there are in the
suffrage ranks women of all political parties
and women OF no political Affiliations, and also
women OF all churches and women of no church;
and
Whereas These women are a unit in their
demand for the ballot, and are working together
for their com mon cause; therefore be it
Resolved, That we declare it to be the deter
mined policy OF the Kansas Equal Suffrage as
sociation to confine the work for the amend
ment strictly to arguments and propaganda for
the enfranchtsement Of women.
1t is not expected nor will it be asked of the
women Of the several parties that they should
cease their activities and their Jealous work for
their respective parties, yet we most emphat-
ically state that all speakers and workers while
under the auspices of the amendment cam
pafgn committee shall refrain from argument
or reference to their party issues.
Inasmuch recognize the present crisis
and the significance thereof, and the relation of
this movement to political parties; therefore,
Resolved, That all political parties of the
state shall be and hereby asked to embody
in their county and state platforms expressions
favoring the pending amendment;
Resolved That extend to the republicans
and populists and prohibitionists of those coun-
ties which have adopted unequivocal equal
suffrage planks in their platforms hearty
sagacity and progress and position
Resolved, That we recommend the following
resolutions, recently adopted respectively by
the republicans of Cowley county and the pop
ulists of johnson county, as worthy examples
of plato expression on the question
Believing that women have equal rights
with men; that their hearts are equally loyal
and true; that their intelligence and worth is
equal with that of men, and that their rights to
say what shall be done for our common good is
as great that of their brothers, commend
| the action of the Legislature in submitting the
| female suffrage amendment to the people and
assure our sisters that when the hour comes to
act, the republican men of Cowlev county will.
| by their vote, welcome them joyfully into full
| and equal rights among men in all political
affairs -
Resolved, that we favor the free and un-
| qualified right of suffrage fer women, and ask
| all persons who love justice and free govern
| ment to vote for amendment to our state
cons stitution granting the same.

NEW PENSION ORDER.
Many Claimants Will BE Benefited Who
Were Formerly Denied.


Were Formerly Denied.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Commissioner s.
Lochren of the pension bureau has is
sued an order withdrawing that of
June IL. 1898, rating cases under the
act Of June 81, 1890. The order reads:
Hereafter, in affiXing rates under this
act, the medical referee or the medical
officer in the board of revision shall
weigh each disa bility and determine the
degree that each liability or the COM
bined disabilities disables the claimant
from earning a support by manual
labor and rate corresponding to this
degree shall be allowed. In cases in
which the pensioner has reached the
age of IS, his rate shall not be dis
turbed if he is receiving the maximum
for senility alone, If there no special
pensionable disa abilities shown
This order will benefit many claim
ants who have been denied ratings un-
der the former practice. Under the
new order the contributory causes of
disa bility causing mental or phys
ical incapacity to earn support by man
ual labor are taken into account.
