crate ranks? Why coddle one, then, and
shoot down the other? Why not treat
both alike and hang both to sour apple
tree? Can anyone answerP And that's
Just what / advocate punish
ment much more for a pretended bat
false friend than an open enemy. But
our boasted civilization forbids il, and
courts pusllsnimity and impunity for the
worst of traitors and miscresnts who
walk the earth.
And what are we to do with such gross
inconsistency implying the grossest dis
honesty and desertion OF principles as
that exhibited by John Sherman and
Secretary Carlisle when they opposed
contraction of the currency, and the lat
ter the demonetiz alton Of silver and fore
told and depicted in such dark and
gloomy colors the results that must in
evitsbly flow from it to the farmer, me-
chsnic and every member Of society; and
then presto, John Sherman becomes the
very agent to produce this terrible re-
suit and by the very means that he had
SO loudly protested agsinstp And listen
to Carlisle on the point; and yet no
longer ago than last week, he declared
himself thoroughly enlisted in the cause
Of the outlswry of silver with the conse-
quences he depicted to be manifested
and perpetrated. Hear him from the
floor OF the house OF representatives,
February q, 1878: ~ know that the
worlds stock Of precious metals is none
too large, and l see no reason to Sppre-
hend that it will ever become so. Man
kind will be fortunate indeed il the
annual production Of gold and silver
coin shall keep pace with the annual in
crease of population, commerce and in
dustry. According to my views Of the
subject the conspiracy which seems to
have been formed here and in Europe to
destroy, by legislation and otherwise,
from three e-sevehths to one-hRlf Of the
metallic money of the world is the most
gigantic crime of this or any other age.
The consumwation of such q scheme
would ultimately entail more misery
upon the human race than all the wars,
pestilences and famines that ever oc-
CURED in the history Of the world" and
good deal more to the same effect. Can
such things be, an6 we r>tsiu any conf
dence in man? Whose protests and
declarations can we trust? Certainly
not those of national conventions; and
now those of our public serVsnts 60 for
nsught. Only stern measures can
bring them back to political righteous
ness and sincere and genuine devotion
to the interests Of their constituents and
the country, instead Of those Of boards
of trade and the trafickeTs, speculators
and money mongers Of the land.
Once more, can any one doubt that
the British statesmen who, after the
great Nspoleonic wars, contracted the
currency Of the realm, and dsmonetized
silver with the result that brought wide
spread bankruptcy to every branch Of
business, poverty to every toilers' door,
and reduced the number Of landholders
Of the empire from 10000, owning over
100 acres, down to 10000, as the histor.
ian, Allison, declares say will anyone
deny that tLey deserved sevsrer punish
ment than any that our civilization

such a ghoul be permitted to cumber
the ground after the perpetrstion Of such
crimes? And the father Of the prime
minister who prepared and oficisted at
these sacrifices said to the latter: "You
have enriched yourself and family, but
at the expense and ruin Of your country"
Does such craftsmanship deserve glorii-
cation and an enviable name? No; it
deserves the dsteststion Of the civilized
world and should be punished accord
ingly. And yet we have gone through
similar ordeal land have not reached the
end by long wsys) as q result Of sim
liar policy adopted after our war Of the
rebellion-a policy copied directly, letter
for letter, from the British policy re-
ferred to, and with the result that fol-
lowed the latter, as recorded in history
and staring up in the face. How terri
ble, then, is the punishment deserved by
those who imposed that accursed policy
upon our people to the bankruptcy Of
thousands and the impovsrishment and
ruin Of the countryP
Still again, the cry of mankind the
world over is for equality Of rights and
privileges, and equality Of burdens; and
We profess to have reached it in this
country. Have we? showed, some
time since, how the farming community
of Pennsylvania paid 81 Of taxes to ell,
other interests 81, though the latter were
possessed of 100000, 900 more capital
than the former, and itEis So generally
throughout the nation. Also, how the
farmers Of the country with less than
quarter OF the property OF the country,
according to the census, pay more than
three quarters of all our taxes. And /
showed how under the revenue system
Of the general government, known as the
tariff, the citizen worth only $1,000, paid
on equal amount with the man possessed
Of 100000, and often times more, by
and through their consumption Of tariff
taxed and favored goods. Suppos-
ing each to pay S45 as a consequence Of
the tariff on their consumption, it is
equivalent to $3.50 on the 800 to the
81, 600 man, but ~ cents on the 800 to
the 100000 msn-thRt is, ~ per cent.
on the other. Equality OF burdens for
sooth. Where does the equality come in
here? And what is my inference from
all this, do you sskP Why, let us have
just as little of this style Of equality as
possible in our system of government
and legislation. And the elector who
don't vote and work for this is an enemy
Of human nature and of the race.
We live in an age when corruption has
become q science, and bribery profes-
sion-when men make q trade Of cor
rupting their fellows, and can be hired
at 80 much day, or are paid by per-
centRge on the value Of the work done
by man or company with frsnch ise

TOPEKA, Kas., June 11.-Meager re.
ports of the robbery of the east-bound
express train No. 8 on the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, just west
of Cimmarron, have been received here.
The operator at Cimmarron in brief
message states that either four or five
men entered the express car, after
stopping the train. They shot Express
Messenger Whittlesey through the
stomach, fatally wounding him. just
how much money was secured by the
robbers is not known.
The messengers iron chest, in which
is kept the money for stations between
terminals, was rifled. A year ago this
month Whittlesey was on the train
robbed by the Dalton boys at Red
Rock, I. T. He held the bandits al
bay for half an hour. His car was en-
tered by dynamite after it was riddled
with bullets. One Of the robbers
placed revolver at Whittlesey's head
and was prepared to shoot, when Bot
Dalton knocked the gun from his hand

JOHN MYERS FAME.

rrtuninuIs

He Acccmpllshes Feat Which viii
Make Him Famous Among Now York
Criminals.
NEW YORK, June M.-By digging out
of his cell in the Tombs prison and es-
Gaping undetected last Thursday night,
John Myers has accomplished "a feat
which will make his name memora BILE
in the history of crime in this city. His
is the first successful attempt to break
out of this prison since it was built,
nearly sixty years ago.
The only escape that parallels Myers
was that Of murderer VIM. Sharkey,
who nineteen years ago passed the
doorkeepers disguised in woman's
clothing.
DANNY" Driscoll, leader Of the
"Whyo gang" who was hanged some
years ago, dug through his cell in
murdercrs' row, but was detected be-
fore he could put his scheme of escape
into effect. Myers was a burglar, and a
very common burglar at that, and was
being held for sentence after pleading
guilty before Recorder Smyth in gen
eral session on June to two indict'
ments for burglary in the third degree,
His tools were two iron braces from his
cot and an old spoon. He wrapped his
sheets around his jimmy to deaden the
sound and when he had made hole
big enough to crawl through, tore hi:
mattress to strips, made a rope ant
| climbed to liberty.
