DEMOCRATIC STUPIDITY.

Solid Facts About What Became of the
silver Dollar of Our Fathers.
1t was Hamilton's plan in framing
our first coinage law in 1902 to treat
silver and gold alike, to make them
circulate together, the silver to be used
for small transactions and the gold for
larger trade. He says: "A preference
ought to be given to neither of the
metals, gold or silver" 1t was his
opinion that the money unit had been
gold rather than silver and that the
latter had circulated as a matter of
convenience of trade. He desired a
more permanent basis of the circula-
ton of the two metals each performing
given service. He urged that both
silver and gold were valuable for for
eign trade and should both be used.
He said: IF gold be most convenient
in large payments, silver is best adapted
to the more minute and ordinary circu-
lat;on. To annul the use of either Of
the metals as money is to abridge the
quantity Of the circulating medium
and is liable to all of the objections
which arise from the comparison of the
benefits of full with the evils of q
scanty circula ton Hamilton was not
q democrat, but was a practical BIZ
metallist. After the United States mint
began coming gold and silver the coins
would not stay IN circulation but were
displaced by worn foreign coins and
bank bills. Because the silver coins
would not remain in this country

dered the mint to cease coming
silver dollars and no more were
coined until 1886. So the dol
lar of the fathers was suppressed by
the father Of the democratic party by
an act ten times more arbitrary than
the infamous (?) law of 1873. Senator
Vest, in his recent speech on the silver
question. said: 1T is favorite express
sion now to talk of the silver lunacy.'
Mr. President. l am willing to follow
the great lunatic, Thomas jefferson, on
this question" 1t seems to be COM
mon error of the average democrat to
misinterpret Thomas jefferson. the
man who besides destroying the dollar
of the fathers" was an advocate OF the
protection of American industries.
Then, again. in 1884, under democratic
administration. law was enacted
known as the gold bill" This was
made to favor gold so that it would
stav in the market In this they sue
ceeded and silver retired, and the re-
suit was practical gold monometallism
until 1873. The dollar OF our fathers,
the dollar of Hamilton, who was not
democrat. was demonetized and finally
all silver driven out of the country by
the party of the people" (?). Demo

But more surprising and humiliating
still, if possible. is the fact that another
person. just now figuring in his nat
ural and accustomed role. bringing to the
cheek of every decent Kansan what it
seems impossible to bring to his own

A Great Convention Assured.

SALINA. Kan, Sept. 5.-The fact that
the interstate irrigation convention
will be the most notable meeting ever
held in central Kansas is no longer
doubted. The executive committee has
begun to receive returns from the
thousands of invitations sent out two
weeks ago and the number of delegates
who have already pledged themselves
to attend the meeting insures that it
will be very large. Governor Hogg of
declared their intention OF being pres
ent. George H. Hastings, attorney
general of Nebraska, an enthusiastic
student of irrigation, will be present,
and also promises big delegation from

Democrats and RepuI,Iieans.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ct is generally
conceded that the present party organi-
cations cannot long endure. The un-
conditional repeal of the Sherman act
in the house on Monday, by vote of
239 to 1O8, which was a distinctive
administration measure, has lead TO
the inquiry: Who is supporting this
administration. and who are In the
opposition? An analysis of the vote
shows that of the 239 members of the
house who voted for the unconditional
repeal OF the Sherman act, 101 were
Republicans and 138 were Democrats,
which shows that the administration
has the hearty support of nearly the
whole Republican party.
The opposition is composed of rs
Democrats, . Republicans and IL
Populists.
It is currently reported and gener-
ally believed that this union Of Repub-
Ecans and administration Democrats
was effected by an agreement on the
part of the Democrats that the Nc
Kinley law should not be seriously dis
turbed. That a revision of the tariff
should be made so as to largely IN
crease the free LIST by putting upon it

that had come from Boston and that
was labeled, ''Wish you a happy New
Year. Please accept this fine old
whisky from your friends in the woods. .
The whisky contained a solution of
arsenic. DR.. Graves was accused of
sending the bottle After one of the
most famous trials in the criminal an
nails of this country, DR.. Graves was
convicted of murder in the first degree
and was sentenced to be snged. The
supreme court granted hil4. a new trial,
which was to have begun the latter part
of this month.
Mrs. Graves Had Visited Him Saturday.
The coroner was informed of the doc
tors death shortly after he was found.
When Coroner Chivington arrived at
the jail he was accompanied by his
deputy, Mr.. Nichols. Mrs. Graves and
several gentlemen visited the doctor
| Saturday. AS is the custom they were
searched but nothing of a suspicious ma
ture was found on their persons. AS is
evidenced from the letter addressed to
the coroner, DR.. Graves undoubtedly
committed suicide, but with what drug
the autopsy alone will tell. County Com
missioner Twombly went east to see the
witnesses for the prosecution and ascer-
tain whether or not they would attend
the trial Just before Mr.. Twombly's
return, the doctor, in an interview, ex-
hibited signs of being disturbed over the
results of Mr.. Twombly's trip. He said
/ in the interview that he believed the
prosecution would bring a lot of wit
nesses here to SANDER him and
he said it would be only fair
for the county board to pay the ex-
! penses of his witnesses if they paid
for those of the prosecution.
In DR.. Graves letter to the public he
said that the verdict against him was
obtained through political influences,
and in speaking of District Attorney
Stevens said he was ''a young. leading
! politician, ambitious, full of devilfsh
schemes and cunning. man who never
has hesitated to do any kind of dirty
work to advance himself and who was
surrounded by the vllest men in the west

we found everything completely and alb

the clerk of the ceurt-the deputies, the
honorable judge and the jury. Since
the trial we have learned that no man

The Alleged Murderer VIII Try to Prove
That His Wife Committed Suicide.
AvocA. Ia, Sept. Sit is now quite
apparent that the defense in the Mawhor
case is to be made along the theory that
the death of wife No. was the result of
suicide. Every effort is being made by
the attorneys for the defense to form a
case along this line, and every scrap of
testimony that in any way tends to
strengthen the theory is called in and
carefully made the most of. This plan
was made very apparent, great stress
being laid on the testimony of witnesses
to the effect that on the second hearing
before the coroner of Fremont county
Mawhor had claimed his wife had told
woman acquaintance of her intention to
kill herself, saying that twice she had
tried it, and her courage had failed
when she had put the cup to her lips.
Evidence was admitted to the effect
that one of Mawhor's hsred men had
complained that he could not stay on the
place because of his wife's animosity;
she having been incensed at him because
he refused to accede to her advances.
The court refused to allow the state to
go into any inquiry concerning the
death Of wives Nos and 4.
