The Panic and the Tariff:

1t is amusing TO look back over the
political history of the last year as
seen in the light of Yesterdays vote in
the House of Representatives. The
maiorities against free silver in any
shape or at any ratio are a strange
comment upon the iniaminatory talk
OF the Republican party organs. which
have been DINING into our ears that
the Democracy is the party OF dis
honest money and national bank
ruptcy.
Now that the vote has been taken,
now that the Democratic majority in
the House has given a final and prae-
teal answer to oil charges SO far as
the silver question Is concerned, the
organs will be able to devote all their
malignant attention to the tariff and
the ruin which impends over the
country Oh account of prospective
Democratic ref orm.
The situation OF affairs, however,
may prove embarrassing to this pro-
ceeding. The revival of confidence
and reawakening of business have
already progressed to g remarkable
degree, People have not eve waited
for the vote of Congress to make up
their minds that their fears have been
foolish. Rnsinees Is starting up in
all direetions-on q basis of conser-
vatlsni, it Is true, but still in dead ear-
nest for an active season; banks are
re-opening their doors, and drummers
are taking the road, or preparing to
do 50, with instructions TO extend
reasonable credit
Some Of the Republican papers
those which are for the time being
more honest than Republican do not
hesitate to IOWA up to the facts. The

A word to Mayor Wanser:-
1t is not necessary to verify all the
charges of bribery and corruption
which are rife, in order to effect the re-
noval of these five men from Office.
These, however probable on first prin-
ciples, however generally believed,
may be hopelessiy incapable of proof.
Indeed, it is barely possible they may
be wholly or partly untrue. That is
to say. they may be true and they
may be untrue; all the same you can
not get proof of them.
But this is certain, you can remove
these men from Office for criminal
recklessness and incompetency. Here
is what the law says
81. And be it enacted. That all persons whose

CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., Sept. 5.-There

over 200 miles west of the Missouri
river are extensive coal fields. The
coal fields at Newcastle are the ones re-
ferred to. The Cambria Coal company
con trolls the mines, and its very large

est capacity. The fire which occurred
there some time ago was more serious
than was at first supposed, causing q
loss of $40, 900, partly covered by in
surance. The Jumbo and Antelope
workings. the principal ones, fro
which nearly all the coal is mined. a.
situated on opposite sides of a
canyon, which is nearly 1000 feet wide.
Between the workings and below, in
the canyon, were located the crushers,
screens, bins, chutes, and in fact all the
massive and expensive machinery and
engines, which were entirely destroyed.
The company set men to work imme-
diately, and reconstruction of the entire
plant was the result. The output Of the
mines Is 2,00U tons per dav, 100 car
loads, which requires at least We trains
day to dispose of. Besides this the
coke ovens have been renovated and
are also running once more with a
capacity of 40 tons per day.

DIR. Graves Found In His Cell by His
Attendant
DENVER, Sept. 5.-Dr. r. Thatcher
Graves was found cold in death at
y a. m. by the s'trusty" who has been
caring for him. On his person was
found the following letter to the
coroner:
PLEASE do not hold an autopsy on
my remains. The cause OF death may
be rendered as follows: Died from
persecution; worn out; exhausted"
The Act Long Contemplated.
The corpse was quite cold when
found. No direct evidence of suicide
was visible, but the above letter tells
the story. There were also letters to
Mrs. Graves, wife Of the doctor, to
Jailer Crews and an address to the pub
lie. That the prisoner had long con-
templated taking his own lie is evil
dent from the date of the letters, Aug.
9TH last. Among other letters left by
the doctor was one directed to his wife,
very lengthy one, and another one
addressed to the public.

As is well known DR.. Graves was
awaiting his second trial for the alleged
murder Of Mrs. Barnaby of Providence,
who at the time of her death was visit
ing 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 which was labeled,
"Wish You happy New Year. Please
accept this fine old whisky from your
friends in the woods"
The whisky contained solution Of
arsenic. DR.. Graves was accused Of
sending the bottle. After one OF the
most famous trials in the criminal an
malls OF this country DR.. Graves was
convicted OF murder in the first degree
and was sentenced to be hanged. The
supreme court, granted him new
trial, which was to have begun the lat
ter part OF this month.

DR.. Graves ended his own life with
some mysterious drug or combination
of drugs which could only have been
prepared by an expert chemist, and
those who believe him guilty OF the
murder OF Mrs. Barnaby are said to be

Mrs. Barnaby from "Her friends in

strange poison was very likely the same

Mr.. Harrison, Mr.. Mckinley and Sens-

pies party can no more unite with the

lition party could have united with the
southern democracy. The Peoples party
stands for pure democracy. The demo-
cratic and republican parties are unit
for plutocracy, and their every action
proves it. The Peoples party stands for
abolition of special privileges. The
demo.republican party stands for pro-
lection Of special privileges and the re-
