could buy the same amount in 1873.
Two ounces wonld buy days labor
in 1873; two ounces or less will buy a
| days labor now; and so On through
the whole list. But the owner of gold
| bullion can buy twice as much with an
| ounce of gold as he could in 1873: he
can buy a great deal more than he
could in 1890.
There is another thing to be consld-
cred. As gold has increased in value
silver is said to have fallen. That is
to say, the metal has lost its purchas-
ing power, as compared with gold. If
this were the only result of the in
creased value of gold, the people
would not be further concerned in the
matter. 1t would not be great pub
lie question. But human labor has
lost its purchasing power. The prod
ucts of factories and farms have lost
their purchasing power. Will bale
of cotton, bushel of wheat, bale of
yarn, or bolt of factory goods buy as
many debt-paying dollars to-day as it
would in 1873, or as it would in 1890?
Our correspondent will perceive, there
fore, that the benefit that will inure to
the miner from tree coinage is a mere
matter of moonshine compared with
the benefits to be reaped by the people
at large.
With respect to the second inquiry
of our correspondent, there is to say:
A metal that is to be coined into pri-
mary money must, Of necessity, be
treated differently from all other forms
of property. 1t must be taken off the
market, otherwise it can be made the
plaything of bulls and bears. It must
cease to be commodity in the ordi-
nary acceptance of that term. Other
wise, it will not prove to be a sound
and stable currency. Coming fixed
quantities of metal into dollar units
takes it off the market. Gold is SO
treated by the government. and silver
in order to take its place alongside of
gold as primary money. must have the
same treatment. Let the silver min
ers have the same benefits as the gold
miners, so that all the people may
profit thereby.-Atlanta Constitution.

lew OOlterS, assisted Oy the soma he
publican vote, stood in the way and
forced the party to take the best thai
it could get. The settlement thus
brought about reduces the infamous
Mckinley tariff 80 per cent. estab'
fishes an income tax, and takes a
long step in the direction of genuine
tariff reform.
Hsrper's Weekly is also wrong in
the statement that this is ''the first
time in the history of the country
that single monopoly, audacious.
insolent and confessedly corrupt, has
succeeded in debating TO congress. "etc.
A monopoly more dangerous than the
trusts which forced the tariff settle
ment took congress by the throat in
the extra session last year, and with
the lash of English dictation whipped
it into acceptance of the single gold
standard. One of the loudest shout
ers in the country at the consumma-
tion of this outrage was Harper's
Weekly, the organ of the mugwump
gang which, iu combination with the
Republicans, forced this infamous
settlement. in the same menner that
the tariff was disposed Of. except that
in the tariff there was a marked
change for the better, while with the
financial question the Democratic atti-
tude was swapped in toto for that of
the Republicans. 1t comes in ex-
ceedingly bad taste for paper which
led this traitorous procession last year
to be charging the Democrats with
bad faith on the tariff.
Thank God, the Democratic party
is not responsible for the repudiation
of either the financial or the tariff
pledge of the Democratic platform.
On each of these questions the almost
unbroken Democratic membership in
both senate and house stood like a
solid wall, battling against the COM
bination formed by few Democratic
rebels working in harmony with the
solid Republican membership.
The Democratic party stands today
where it has always stood, fighting for
the peoples money-''the coinage of
both gold and silver without dis
elimination against either metal"-for
a return to the conditions as they exis-
ted prior to the demonetization of sill
yer in 1873-against trusts and
monopolies, and for tariff for revenue
only.
There were traitors on the financial
question-merely a handful-just as
there were traitors in the settlement of
the tariff question. The principles for
which the party contended against
these traitors live today, and will yet
be vindicated; the process of wedding
out the traitors is now going on.-At-

lngersoII's Poem of Life.

| Born of love and hope, of ecstacy
and pain, of agony and fear. OF tears
and joy-dowered with the wealth oi
two united hearts-held in happy arms,
with lips upon life's drlfted font, blue
veined and fair, where perfect peace
finds perfect form-rocked by willing
feet and wooed to shadowy shores OF
sleep by siren mother singing soft
and low-looking with wonders wide
and startled eyes at common things OF
life and day-taught by want and wish
and contact with the things that touch
the dimpled flesh of babes-lured by
light and flame and charmed by color's
wondrous robes learning the use OF
hands and feet. and by the love OF
mimicry beguiled to utter speech-re.
leasing prisoned thoughts from grabbed
and curious marks on soiled and latter
ed leaves-puzzling the brain with
crooked numbers and their changing,
tangled worth-and so through years
of alternating day and night, until the
captive grows familiar with the chains,
and walls, and limitations of life.
And time runs on in sun and shade
until the one of all the world is wooed
and won, and all the lore of love il
taught and learned again. Again q
home is built, with the fair chamber
wherein faint dreams, like cool and
shadowy wales, divide the billowed
hours of love. Again the miracle OF
birth-the pain and joy. the kiss OF
welcome, the cradle song, drowning
the drowsy prattle of an innocent
| babe.
And then the sense of obligation and
of wrong-pity for those who toll and
weep-tears for the imprisoned and
distressed-love for the generous dead,
and in the heart the rapture OF high
| resolve. And then ambition, with its
lust OF pelf and place of power, longing
to put upon its breast distinctions
worthless badge. Then keener
thoughts of men and eyes that see be-
hind the smiling mask Of craft-dat-
tered no more by the obsequious cringe
of gain and greed-knowing the use
! lessness of boarded gold and honor
bought from those who charge the
usury of self respect-of power that
only bends a towards knees and for
ces from the lips of fear the lies of
praise. Knowing at last the unstudied
gesture of esteem, the reverent eyes

Successful Break for Liberty at Nc
Nsil's Island, Wash.
TACOMA, Oct. 1.-Two prisoners
escaped from the federal penitsntiary on
McNeiPs island last Thursday. They
were Wade and Brooks. both serving
terms for amuggling. Thursday they
were ordered to carry some garbage out
side the prison walls, and when outside
they made a sudden dive for the brush
and succeeded in escaping from the
guard, Jack Keating.
Wade was doing ive-year turn and
had once before escaped.
Marshal Drake has men stationed at
tho boundary line to capture the fugi
tives in csae they attempt to cross into
British Columbia. 1t is thought they
may not yet have left the island. Mar
shsl Drake denies the published story
to the effect that four men escaped, after
poisoning the warden and ell Of the
guards. A resident of the island says
the poisoning occurred later in the week
and WAS partially successful, allowing
two other prisoners to escape. Some
think an investigation of the peniten-
tiary management will result.

WICHITA, Kan, Oct. 1.-For 20 years
Wichita has felt easy about cyclones, on
account OF an Indian legend which said
none ever visited or would visit it.
The legend, as we'll as the popular
source of security, were bursted tonight
when rain cloud from tho west came
in contact with a storm cloud from the
south, both at onca fusing, and proceed
ed to do business. The division head
quarters and the Twelfth street depot of
the Missouri Pacific was the first build
ing struck, and it was completely de-
molished, the roof OF it striking the sta
BILE of DR.. Hupps, two blocks away,
crushing it like an egg she'll. Twelve
men were in the building at the time.
and strange to say, n one OF them were
hurt, although they were thrown about
from one end to the other.
The storm passed east about mile,
accomplishing all its destruction in less
than two minutes. About 30 houses
and barns were wrecked and probably
500 shade trees. some OF them 10 feet in
circumference, were pulled up by the
roots and strewn about In all directions.
The path OF the cyclone was about so
feet wide. 1t progressed with fearful
roar and was regular twister.
Three children were hurt and two
men were reported killed at police
headquarters, but their names could not
be ascsrtained. Owing to the terrible
rain which accompanied the storm and
L.. cd ic hl RI
certain the full extent OF the injuries.
Lightning struck little boy named
Fitzgibbou and killed him.
Lightning also stuck the Fifteenth
street depot and car stables of the street
railway and completely consumed them,
with all their contents, before the fire
department could do anything.
The Fairmount electric railway sta
bles were completely destroyed.
Roughly estimated the less in the city
will be $50, 900. 1t may exceed that su m
a good deal.
Reports from Kechit township say
that the twister played havoc there, but
owing to the continuance of the rain
storm it is impossible to obtain any de-
tails. The cyclone passed within 10
feet OF Governor Lewelling's home.
WIDE SECTION DEVASTATED.
KANSAS Cry, Oct. 1.-Specials to the
Times from Emporia. Strong City and
other Western Kansas towns tell of q
storm of cyclonic proportions that broke
over that territory this evening. AS far
as known there were no fatalities.
The etorm struck Emporia about 7
o'clock, soon taking on the proportions
OF q cyclone Rnd in half an hours time
had done thousands of dollars of dam
age. Trees and shrubbery we're up
rooted, signs and fences demolished and
much other damage reported.
Strong City suffered like fate. The
storm came from the west, creating dam
age en- route and shutting that part Of
the state off from wire connection.

COLD BLooDED MURDER.

A Constable Killed by Two Tramps.
One of Thorn Arrested.
TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 1.-The country
about Puyallup is greatly excted over
the cold-blooded murder last night OF
Constable Jeffrey. Two hundred citizens,
fully armed, are on the trail of the two
tramps who committed the murder, and
this afternoon they are surrounded in
the thick woods near Mcmillan. Three
bloodhounds, brought over from Ellens-
burg, we're put on the scent early today.
About daylight one party OF pursuers
came up to the fugitivcs, who opened
fire, both being armed. Deputy Sheriff
Harry Moore was shot through the side
and is not expected to live. Every av-
enue of escape is guarded.
The younger of the two men who shot
Jeffrey at Puyallup, and who was arrest
ed at South Prairie today, was taken to
the county Jail this afternoon. He gives
his name as Franklin Murray. He ia
not over Is years OF age and looks like a
typical vagrant. He says that he had
nothing to do with the shooting. and
simply ran away after it had been done.
He said that the other mans name is
Hamilton, and that he had only known
him for a few days. When asked why
Hamilton did the shooting he said:
''Just because ne wanted to do some
shooting, 7 guess. l could not see any
other reason"
The jailer refuses to allow Frank Nc
Murray, arrested as an accomplice to the
murder OF Jeffery. to be interviewed
until Sheriff Matthews returns. 1t ia
learned tonight that McMurray's home
is at Hillsboro, Ore, whore his parents
are said to be prominent.
The condition OF Deputy Sheriff Harry
Moore ia critical. Peritonitis has set in,
and he will likely die. The funeral OF
Jeffrey, the murdered man, will occur at
Puyallup omorrow.
McMurray, the young man in jail,
gives the name of the murderer as Ham
ilton. This man is still at large, but ia
almost certain to be captured tomorrow.
ALI day today the chase has bsen car
ried on under the direction OF Sheriff
Matthews and ]. @. McGrath of ElleDs-
burg, who has two trained bloodhounds
with him. The pursuit led from Meet or
to Alderton, thence to Mcmillan and be-
yond Orling and South Prairie. Hamil.
ton is a crack shot, and in view OF his
desperate character he is expected to be
killed whom captured. He has two
loaded revolvers.
Young McMurray walked into South
Prairie at noon, ordered dinner and a
lunch put up, and began talking about
the Meeker shooting. The proprietor
sized him up, and notified the constable,
who arrested him as he was leaving.
Then he admitted his identity, saying
he met Hamilton at Tacoma Sunday.
He was brought here at once by two
deputies. Coming in he made many
contradictory statements.
Late tonight the officers believe they
have Hamilton cornered. He is sur
rounded by 75 men, the posse having
decreased considerably since the shoot.
ing of Moore this morning. All passing
trains are examined to make sure he
does not escape. Rain has intarfered
with the bloodhounds' work. Officers
believe both men aro desperadoes and
that they committed recent robberies at
Ellensburg. whore several revolvers
similar to theirs were stolen.

Lewis, a prominent literary man, had
written history Of the country and was
about to take passage on the Colon for
San Francisco, to have his history pub
lshed. Some parts Of the history did
not speak favorsbly of the Ez sta govern
ment, and on the day the steamer was
to sail, the historian was found with a
dagger in his heart. No tracs of the
manuscript could be found, and it was
thought Lewis had been murdered to
prevent the publication of the hiatory.
Gen. Ferand Figero, wealthy planter,
was found murdered in his country res
idence. The house had been ransacked
as though the murder had been the
work OF robbere, but there was a rumor
that his death was for political reasons.

THE woorroN CASE.
Another CLAIM, ant for til 6 Missing Mans
Property.


FRESNO, CAL, Oct. 1.-Another ssnsa-
tional incident was added today to the
record in the case of William Wootton,
the missing Rsedley rancher. An Eng
lishman giving his name as William
Wootton, and claiming TO be the son OF
the missing man, arrived here with a
will, which he will offer for probate, dis
posing of the estate in his mothers
favor. The new claimant is about 81
years of age. and says that Wootton
married his mother in Englond 40 ysars
ago. She had some money which the
old rancher handled for her after he
came to California, and the interest OF
which he regularly sent her. The rev.
comer's claim will be opposed by the At
tornsy for Thomas Wootton, the rancu-
era brother, who has already filed q
suit to quiet title.
