One day last week on Mr.. Robt. A.
Breazeale's farm, in Garvin Township, a
negro By the name Of Reed Howard was
ploughing. A small cloud stood over the
held. While Reed was standing at the
mules side fixing the trace chain, which
he had loosed from the iogger-head, a
sroke Of lightning came. Il struck the
mule, entering, as stated by one, the right
|$ear Of the mule, passing through its head
and neck, and coming ont on the left side
Of the neck under the collar. tearing con-
siderable hole in the mules neck. or
eourse the mule was instantly killed.
The negro wins standing with the trace 10
his hand. The electric current passed
from the mule to the negro. Part OF. it
went down the trace chain to the earth,
the other portion passed down the negro's
leg, tearing the pants leg on the outside
and inside, and lfsying the outer skin on
the inside;of The leg. Reed was knocked
senseless and fell, the mule falling with its
head across him. His friends carried him
to the house. Alter al bout fifteen min utes
he recovered from the shock and is VOW
gping about ss usual. It, seems to have
been conceded that lightning does not lac.
serate flesh, but in this cass it did. The
same current struck q pine tree some dis
tance from this negro, and before il struck

The noney Power in the Old Parties.

The money power very well knows that
it is perfectly safe in the hands of party
formed by a coalition of the two old
parties. A careful analysis of the vote
on the bill to repeal the purchasing
clause Of the Sherman Act' proves that
beyond doubt.
The vote i'll the House on the amend
ment providing for free coinage of silver
at ratio of IS to 1, we find us Demo
Gratis with the money power, and only
100 democrats with the people; in other
words the Democratic party in the House
stands So per cent for the money power,
and AZ per cent for the people
In the House on the same proposition
we find that the Republicans voted II2
for the money power, and only I3 for the
people i'll other words the Republican
party in the House stands SO per cent for
the money power, and per cent for the
people. Take the two combined in the
House and we find we have party g per
cent of which is for the money power, and
only 81 per cent for the people No
wonder the plutocratic press is advocating
fusion to down the Populists, because it
is perfectly plain that such fusion would
temporarily mean the triumph of plrl-
tocracy.
In the Senate OH money, as shown
by the vote on the repeal bill, 20 Demo
Gratis were with plutocracy, and IS for the
people; in other words, the Democratic
party i'll the Senate stands So per cent for
the money power, and AZ per cent for the
people.
The Republican party in the Senate
stands % for plutocracy and for the
people, or % per cent for the people, and
II per cent for plutocracy. Should the
two old parties fuse in the Senate, it
would stand 43 for plutocracy, and rs for
the people, or 81 per cent for plutocracy,
and SO per cent for the people.
When we sum up the whole matter we
find that when the two old parties are
moulded into one the new combination
will stand, according to the record made
in the 53rd Congress, g per cent for the
money power, and 81 per cent for the
people.
When we come to examine the Popu
list vote in both Houses, we find it Ioc
per cent for the people, first, last and all
the time.

Contracts.

There is no action ofparties against the
interest of the people and in favor of the
interest of monopoly strikes more forcibly
by contrast than the granting of franchises
or special privileges. When franchise
is given to corporation for the purpose
of building up monopoly it is claimed
by the corporations to be contract
amounting to vested right In our own
state the franchise given to the B. & O..
Railroad exempts it from the payment
of hundreds of thousands of dollars of tax
due to the state. Congress contracted
with the sugar growers who are individual
persons to pay them bounty for the pur-
pose of developing sugar growing. Under
this contractor that is what it was
they make large out lay in plant and
other preparations for developing the
business. This contract between congress
on the one hand and the sugar producers
on the other was to last until 1905. In two
years after Congress repudiates this con-
tract by repeating the act. In case of
similar contracts with corporations in the
matter of franchises the action is claimed
to be Sacred" inviolable, binding the
people for ever In a similar deal with
individuals it isn't worth the paper it is
written upon Who owns the govern
ment state and national-the corporations
or the people?

THE ELECTION.

The telegraph gave birds eye view of
the election on Wednesday morning,
which showed that the democratic party,
known as Cleveland democracy, has been
pretty effectually wiped out. The follow
ing is summary Of the returns as report
ed, which are far from correct but serve to
give fair idea of the general result.
The republicans have a large majority
in the next House of Representatives.
Delaware goes against the democrats
and half of Maryland's members are re-
publican. With such ominous sign as
this, the Cleveland democracy may safely
be pronounced virtually wiped out.
Pennsylvania goes republican by about
100000 majority New York by over
10000; all the New England States
have been carried by the republicans
Wilson is defeated in w. Va, Holman in
Indiana, Springer in Illinois; Brecken-
ridges district i'll Kentucky returns a
republican Hill and Tammany were
slaughtered by overwhelming majorities.
OF course the republican victory is
much greater by telegraph than it will be
by the official count.
Bland, of Missouri, the bogus free silver
champion, is defeated Wilson, of w. Va,
is defeated by 1900 majority, and the
whole republican congressional delegation
of the State is elected; New Jersey elects
one democrat North Carolina elects five
neutrality-suspicious. in Kentucry six re-
publicans are reported elected Massachu-
sets elects one democrat; Missouri eight
republicans and one populist New York
five democrats Pennsylvania one demo-
crat; Texas one republican Tennessee
four republicans.
The republicans claim for the next
House 244 members.
The above will give pretty clear
understanding of the annihilating defeat
of the Cleveland democracy. We give
the republican members elected in the
democratic states by which better COM
of the democracy The Northern and
Western States are claimed to be nearly
all republican. The exact complexion of
the members-e1ect cannot be known for
some time, if indeed till after the meeting
of the next congress. The important fact
is that the formation on new political
lines is now inevitable, but the republican
victory does not mean that the people
accept its fundamental doctrines. They
were not in issue, only indignation against
Cleveland and his pie counter methods
and Office hunting following

Falsehoods and Half Truths.

In combating and denying the false
claims of the democratic press and speak
ers that business is reviving and that a
steady improvement is taking place
almost approaching boom, a leading
opposition paper forced for party advan-
tage to deny the claim, says: General
business is still at least 20 and probably
rs per cent below two years ago."
But the same paper contents itself with
this half truth hoping that the conclusion
of its readers would credit its argument
that the cause of the decline is altogeth er
owing to the democrat party having had
control of the government during that
period. The whole truth is that bus
mess and prices two years ago, if not 20
per cent were very considerable per
cent below what they were two years
prior to that time, and it has been steady
down grade in prices for 20 years, and of
course steady decline in business and
increase of the unemployed. This is the
whole truth which should be kept before
the people.

English rlethods Exposed.

Mr.. Gordon Clark, of Washington, who
has lived i'll England, and has friends
there on the inside of affairs, has lately
received a confidential communication
stating that:
Certain London banking houses are
striking off American and Mexican silver
dollars, and sending them abroad. The
Mexican coins go chiefly to ASIA and the
American dollars to the West Indies.
From there the latter go to the United
States in place of gold, to settle balance
between the West Indies and the United
States"
Thus counterfeiting has besome a reg
ular part OF the monetary war which
England has been waging against this
country since the demonstration of silver
in 1873. But the London counterfeiters
cannot be punished for buying American
silver at its Commercial value" and
turning it into full legal-tender dollars
equal to gold. Sherman, Cleveland, and
our other Statesmen" have arranged
things in that way.
P. S.-As am well acquainted with
Mr.. Clark at one time acting editor of the
North American PeVieW, and whose
recent book ''Sylock" has caused such a
stir-entire credence is given here to his
statement and to that of his correspon-
dent. H Z. TAUBENEcK.
This is the strongest argument that has
yet been made in favor ofthe remonetiza-
ton of silver by the United States. While
the United States minis are closed to the
free coinage of silver the price of the
bullion will continue low, the English
counterfeiters will buy silver, coin it into
American dollars, bring or send the same
silver back here in dollars and purchase
goods with them, or pay bills, making a
profit of nearly 100 per cent out of our
own silver, and taking that profit out Of
our own people. The two old parties are
helping them to rob the people by talking
about tariff whole year in congress
while the English counterfeiters ply this
nefarious trade. They counterfeited the
Continental money and tried to conquer
and enslave the American people in that
way, while their Tory friends upheld
them. Now they are, by counterfeiting
our silver dollars, robbing the American
people while the two old parties uphold
them. Are our old parties any better
than the revolutionary Tories ?-ED.]

Between Dobbs and Tarrytown i'll the
suburbs of New York within distance Of
six miles there resides sixty-three million
aires, and it is doubtful if in any other
portion of the world such a number of rich
persons can be. Several of these persons
have fortunes so gigantic as to have at
tracted the attention of the entire world.
Some of these are widows of deceased
millionaires. Some are men in charge OF
the largest railroad combinations, tele-
graph companies banks, trusts and other
monopolies ofthe nation. The aggregate
of the fortunes is estimated at more than
$500, 200, 900.

Tricky politicians make use of variety
of phrases to conceal their meaning and
mislead those who head their talk. One
of the most noted of these is American
standard of wages. Who can tell what
amount ofwages is ''standard?' Honest
dollar is another of these catch phrases
Is dollar that buys two bushels of wheat
or days labor, or a dollar that pays for
one bushel of wheat or half DAYS labor
the honest dollar? What say you farmer
and laborera Which say you money

many such cant phrases in vogue, all dis
honest and used to deceive the unthink-
ing. When you find spouter or a news

The only means of escaping the
inevitable panics and pecuniary
distress which the money power,
through its banks, will bring upon
the country while the prerogative
of using everybody's money as
though it was their own property is
retained, is the establishment of
government banks. The people will
resort to them the moment the
money power attempts to coerce
them to its measures.
