To Unite the West aud South.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Pceslden
Clevelano's veto Ct the Bland bill ha!
resulted in a proposition for nationa
convention of the West and South t
form a new political party based on ths
demand for the free coinage Of silver
rbe proposition comes from certain rad
ical Democratic Congressman, who be
lieve that the time has arrived when the
party's salvation in the West snd South
demands that it should repudiate at once
and forever Eastern domination 10 6n-
ancial politics. Western and Southern
Democrats who are at the head of this
movement declare that the veto of the
Bland bill shows that the administra
| tlon has set its face toward the siogle
gold standard.
Rspres eatative McL2urip (Dsm.) Ct
South Carolina has taken the bold lnitia-
live in this step he has prepared the
proposition, and it will oe followed, be
says.hys call signed by Democratic sill
yer Congressman. Concerning the
movement be authorlzss the following
statement:
''It seems tn De that the condition OF
our couu;ry is such as 1t should iEpel

1onal considerations.

nand higher prices for their products,
which is nut another name for cheaper
money. Tne North and East are str:v
ing for cheaper products, which IN turn
is simply another name for desrer
money.
"lu this manner the two general di.

have declined.
''This manipulation Ct the currency
has continued until every prod1ct OF the
South and West are to-day sold for less
than the cost OF production. The result
ant effect of these abnormrllV low prices
is seen in the rapid accumulation OF
debts and the increasing distress among
the people.
ssI believe the time has come when
the South and West should unite in one
mighty effort for self protection. want
to see the cotton planter OF my OWE sec.

Perry County Bank Failure.

The creditors of the Perry County
Bank of New Bloomfield, Pa. were
excited to dangerous degree when
the result of the count of the funds
ia the vault was made known Satur-
day only $295 in cash was found in
the treasury, while the other Sc
curities were less than $1,000. The
liabilities may exceed 100000.
In the assignment Sponsler has
preferred creditors to the amount OF
$26,5l5; Junkin to the amount of
Si60i, and the company assignment
prefers $4723. making total of $685.,
$40 of preferred claims.
1t is hardly probable that the en-,
tire property will be enough to pay
these in full. No run had been made
on the bank and either the institu
ton has been insolvent for years oi
the funds have been recently EN-
bezzled. There is talk of arrests
being made.

When Days Were Three Hours Long.

Away in the distant, when the
earth was very young, it went around
so fast that the day was only three
hours long. The whole globe was
liquid then, and as it spun around
and around at that frightful speed
it finally bursted into two parts.
The smaller of the parts became the
moon, which has been sailing around
the earth ever since Mt an ever-in-
creasing distance. These curious
points are not given on the suppose

hen house, which was quite large
building, and all the contents were
destroyed by fire. Upwards of one
hundred chicks, some weighing two
pounds, were roasted to death.
How the fire originated is not posi-
lively known. Some think it was
caused by the lamp in the brooder,
but the fact that the fire started
nine feet away from the lamp eX-
ploded that theory. Several tramps
were seen skulking around town to-
wards night and it is believed by
others that they started the blaze

to gain an opportunity to commit
