A GREAT DAY.
The Arrival of the Spanish Caravels
at the Fair Grounds.

The arrival of the Spanish Caravels
at the great Columbian Exposition in
Chicago on Saturday, the Sth instant,
was the signal for an ovation of well
come, such as has scarcely been wit
messed upon any similar occasion of
rejoicing since the opening of the fair.
The celebration proved source of
universal interest to the great throng
of visitors and had the effect of attract
ing vast throng of spectators to the
fair. The sight of the vessels served
to remind all OF the great event which
they commemorate. Interest centered
upon the Santa Maria, as she Is not
only the largest of the collection but
she is the only one that is completely
fitted up and finished to resemble in
side as well as out the original type.
The rigging and masts are extremely
heavy and the general appearance of
the boats is clumsy until the great
square sales were set. Then the
caravels looked like vessels from the
fairy land, SO airily and gracefully
were they set in the water.
Capt. Concas and his officers on the
Santa Maria were brought in steam
launches to the landing in the great
BASIN on the north side of the agricul-
tural building. AS they passed under
the peristyle the South Sea islanders
gave their war songs, at the same
time driving their canoes over the
water at full speed. The Vancouver
Island Indians, in their salmon fishing
dug-outs; the Spaniards, in their char
acteristic manner, and the Esquimaux
ranged alongside the launches on their
slim kyacks, and every bell and steam
whistle in the grounds clamored.
Drawn up in line on the terrace
back of the boat landing was the es-
cort accompanying the Spaniards to
The plaza between the administration
building and the terminal station.
The Midway Plaisance had sent its
strangest people to march in the car
avel procession. Buffalo BilPs Indians
and Cossacks, Bedouins and other
rough riders were there, and the Eng
lish soldiers of the military tourna-
ment added their scarlet coats to the
picturesque assemblage.
The line of march was eastward
from the agricultural building across
the peristyle, west along the south
front of the manufactures, electrical
and mines buildings, to the grand
stand east of the terminal station.
Here Director General Davis received
Capt. Concas and his men, and pre-
sented them to the public amid wild
cheering.
Senator Sherman, as orator of the
day, delivered an able and eloquent
oration, rich in historical lore and re-
plete with touching memories of by
gone years. His address was warmly
received and enthusiastically applaud

Held Without Bail.

The preliminary trial of the case of
state VS.. r. E. Lee, charged with the
killing of Mrs. Jesse Hale, was con-
cluded before Justice John G. Ed
wards, at his Office ON the East side,
Saturday afternoon. After consider
ing the evidence and hearing the ar
gument of counsel, Justice Edwards
ordered the defendant to Jail without
bail.
In the second of the two charges
against Lee-that of assault to kill
Jesse Hale, husband of the deceased
Mrs. Hale, the justice held the accused
to bail in the sum of $500 for his ap-
pearance before the grand jury at the
next regular term of the Miller Cir
cult court. The state was represent
ed by Prosecuting Attorney j. M.
Carter and the defense by Lawyer Joe
E. Cook.
The attorneys, accompanied by the
prisoner in charge of officers, went up
to Arkadelphia today to present the
case to Circuit Judge Rufus Hesrn, on
an application for bail.
The testimony taken before Justice
Edwards in the examining trial was
reduced to writing and preserved for
this purpose in the event of a commit
ment without bail by that officer.

Committed to Free Coinage.

For the enlightenment of certain OF
our citizens and exchanges we give
below the financial plank of the Demo
cratic platform adopted at Chicago,
June ~, 1892, and leave our readers to
Judge whether or not the party now
stands ready to redeem its pledges.
1t is as follows
We denounce the Republican legis-
lation known as the Sherman act OF
1890, as a cowardly inakeshift, fraught
with possibilities of danger in the fu-
ture, which should make all of its
supporters, as we'll as its author, anX-
ious for its speedy repeal. We hold TO
the use of both gold and silver as the
standard money of the country, and to
the coinage OF both gold and silver with
out discriminating against either metal
or charge for mintage. but the dollar
unit of coinage of both metals must
be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable
value, or be adjusted through inter
national agreement, or by such safe
guards of legislation as shall insure
the maintenance of the parity of the
two metals. and the equal power of
every dollar at all times in the mar
kets, and in payment of debt and we
demand that all paper currency shall
be kept at par with and redeemable in
such coin. We insist upon this policy
as especially necessary for the protec-
ton of the farmers and laboring class
es, the first and most defenceless vic
tins of unstable money and fiuctu-
tating currency.
We recommend that the prohibitory
ten per cent tax on State bank issues
be repealed

A Trick to Shift Responsibility.

In a recent interview Secretary
Elkins pointed out that the Demo
cratic clamor against the Sherman
silver law is essentially a trick, by
which the Democratic leaders hope to
shift some of the responsibility for the
present condition of the country from
their own shoulders, where the re-
sponsibiiity belongs. Mr.. Elkins
says: This will be set down as the
Democratic panic of 1898, brought
about by apprehension and suspense
on the part of the business interests
as to what the Democratic party can
or will do at the approaching session
of Congress, after pledging itself to
break down the industrial system of
the country and coming into control
of the government in all its branches
for the first time in thirty years. !"
The fact is becoming more evident
every day that the fundamental cause
of the depression of business and in
dustry is Democratic free trade.

Ainsworth Indicted.

worth, chief of the record and pension
division of the War Department

Covert, superintendent, and Francis
Sasse, engineer of the building, hold
ing them responsible for the old Ford S
Theater disaster of June 9, last, looks
as if official despotism in Washington
has had its day. The pusillaniinity of
Congress and the tyranny of Aims
worth were the undoubted causes of
the great loss of life. 1t seems Dant
followed the specifications but failed
to take reasonable precautions
against collapse. Congress cannot
be held, but the other fellows will
experience some trouble in proving
their innocence.

October's BOOSTERS, Winters Hunger.

A story comes from Indiana to the
effect that a company of employees of
the Elwood tin-plate works recently
went in a body to the manager to ask
when the works would again resume
They were told that it was impossible
to tell just when the owners would be
justified in resuming operations
" Would the works not be started in
September" the men asked with some
growing alarm at the prospect Of win
ter and no work. We cannot tell,
for we don't know ourselves, was the
reply d" But what are we to do next
winter?" asked the anxious operatives.
most of whom voted for the present
occupant of the White House. The
temptation was too strong to be re-
sisted. The manager answered in a
voice in which reproof mingled with
good humor; / am sure I do not
know unless you eat the roosters you
wore upon your hats during the CAM
paign last year.

Decline In shs Standard Sccur tiles o

NEW YORK, July Yesterday was the
most eventfui and exciting day for long
time past in Wall street and financial cir
Giles generally. Liquidations were on Il
more extensive scale than at any previous
time since the present downward move
meat set IN, and the result was decline
OF simply appalling proportions. The in
teliigence that the Erie road had been
placed in the hands of receivers, although
by no means unexpected. was shock to
confidence, and started an indiscriminate
selling movement through the list. Or
ders were received from various quarters

reach their customers in time threw their
stocks overheard rather than take any fur,
Their chances under the circumstances.
The great break in prices, however, oc
Cured when the announcement that H. /.
Nicholas & Co. had failed was made at the
Stock Exchange This brought the criti-
cal situation Of affairs right home to the
brokers. and It was not long before the
market drifted into a panicky condition.
The excitement was not as great as in
either the 1884 or 1873 panics, but the

sales had to he made at practically any
prices that happened to be bid
The failure of Nicholas & Co., followed
up as it WAS by the suspension of John D.
Dumont, showed plainly that the banks
were calling in loans. and this knowledge

money jumped up to 3-ft'er diem and in
terest, and closed at ? per cent. per annum
The sales for the day reached the large to-
tai of 464,0Si shares. Dividend paying
bonds and the non-dividend payers suffered
alike. and the depression reached an acute
stage. The exceptional break in Evans
vile and Terre Haute from l27 to 20 was
due to the fact that II. l. Nicholas was a
director of the company, ard had borrowed
considerable amounts of money on the

Clarksburg Telegram.
After thirty-three years ofprosperity
and national glory. unparalleled in
the traditions of civilized countries.
the people of the United States are
brought face to face with the impend-
ing horrors of free trade. Even before
the party of gloom and disaster has
laid its malignant hand upon our in
dustries, the great wave of disaster
has rolled from ocean to ocean and to-
day thousands of working people in
want and misery are paying the ter
rible price Of Democratic supremacy
Homes where peace and plenty attest
ed the happiness that reigned within,
have been locked by merciless officers
and the bright sunshine of CONNER
cial and industrial progress has been
eclipsed by cloud of disaster so
gloomy i'll its aspects that no man can
tell when the prosperity of to-day will
become the poverty of tomorrow. In
the midst of all this the Democratic
party says it will redeem all its pledg-
es. which means free trade in coal,
lumber, and wool Think of this, West
Nirginians, and picture to yourselves
what our future will be under such
laws. Again all the leading Demo-
cratic newspapers of the South are now
assuring their readers that State banks
and ''wild cat" money will be once
more introduced, saying that it will be
an easy matter in these days of rapid
Geographic communication to find out
the standing of any bank. William
L. Wilson, the idol of West Virginia
Democracy, has come out in favor of
wild cat" banks. Well may the
American people say where will it
end p
Banks are still closing, firms assign
ing, workingmen are being thrown out
employment and thousands of pen
sioners are being robbed of their Just
dues.

DENVER, July 27.-Not since Denver was
a small frontier village and lynching par
ties were of common occurrence has the
city experienced anything like what took
place last night On Tuesday evening an
Italian saloon keeper named Arata most
brutally murdered an inoffensive old man

knife and finally ending his heinous crime
by firing two shots through the old mans

CONSIDER A MOMENT.

In conversation few days since
with a gentleman Of this city he re-
marked that he had been in the habit
of voting the Democratic ticket be-
cause he hated the name of RePubli-
can, vet went on to say that he came
from an old Wing family which in
antebellum days would have suffered
the loss of an arm rather than vote
for Democrat. His remark brought
to mind a similar case in the western
part of this State. A farmer was
largely engaged in wool-growing and
owned some of the finest sheep in the
United States. At heart he was a
Republican and several times made
up his mind to vote the Republican
ticket He did not do so for the rea-
son, as he expressed it. that the Evil
One got into him so big as he ap-
preached the polls he couldn't.
The country is suffering to-day be-
cause men allow partisan pride or
party prejudice to becloud their rea-
son. Many politicians make it a
point to periodically probe the rancor-
GUS wounds of the civil strife of thirty
years ago, when all efforts should be
directed toward allaying sectional
feeling. Could the people once dream
that the present is all-important, that
the past is gone nevermore to return,
and that the future depends largely
upon what good can now be accom-
plished, the millennium would at
once dawn. This is scarcely to be ex-
pected Men are not SO constituted.
Animosities, chickering's. and even
strife will continue and will manifest
themselves in every crisis. But self
preservation being natures first law,
there are times when all can and
should reason together. The financial
question and the tariff are questions
that now most nearly concern us, and
at the same time are matters which
can be discussed without arousing
the ire of anyone.
The old-time Wing can decide if his
interests can be best subserved by
protection as advocated by Republi-
cans or free trade to which the Demo
cratic party is now committed. On
the financial question there is greater
diversity of opinion. 1t is possible
there may be realignment of parties
on that question. The tendency of
the present administration is clearly
toward recommendation while the Re-
publican party is pledged to maintain
the parity between gold and silver, in
other words is bimetallic.
Should sectionalism be eliminated
by this crisis or panic, our present
misfortunes would be a blessing in
disguise. At least it is a time for
reason to be enthroned and old an
tagonisms to die. So mote it be.

One of the recent echoes of the
overwhelming Democratic victory"
last fall is the shutting down of the
great carpet works of S. Sanford &
Sons at Amsterdam, n. Y. This I'M
mense plant which employed 1880
men and women, has grown to its
present proportions from almost moth
ing within thirty years Probably
10, 1000 people are dependent upon it
for livelihood. AS Amsterdam con-
tains only about 20, 600 inhabitants in
all, the magnitude of the disaster can
be readily inferred. The incident is
an object lesson in Bourbon free trade
which is of especial interest to the
citizens of Martinsburg. as we are re-
liably informed that the capacity of
the hosiery mills in this city would
have been doubled or possibly trebled
had it not been for this self-same vic
tory.
