WASHINGTON, April 2.-"To the house
Ut representatives / return without
my approval house bill No. 500, en-
titled 'an act directing the coinage Of
the silver bullion held in the treasury,
and for other purposes"
That was the beginning OF the presi-
dents message on March 80 vstoing the
Bland bill. He continues it at great
length to give his reasons for the nom
approval, chief OF which wa that it
would "weaksn faith and confidence in
our sound financial tendencies" The
message is not of the usual political
buncombs, but it is regarded as weak
and slckly defense of q position the
writer is under contract to maintain.
He says:
"rhe financial disturbance which
swept over the country during the last
year was unparalleled in it's severity and
disastrous consequences. There seems
to be almost an entire displacement Of
faith in our financial ability and q loss
OF confidence in our fiscal policy. Among
those who attempted to assign
causes for our distress it was very gen.
orally conceded that the operation of q
provision Of law then in force which re-
quired the government to purchase
monthly large amount of silver bul.
lion and issue its notes in payment
therefor was either entirely, or to large
extent, responsible for our condition.
This led to the repeal on November l,
1893, OF this statutory provision.
ave had, however, fallen so low in the
depths OF depression, and timidlty and
apprehension had so completely gained
control in financial circles, that our
rapid recuperstion could not be reason
ably expected. Our recovery has, never
thelsss, steadily progressed, and, though
less than five months have elapsed since
the repeal Of the mischisVous silver
purchase requirement, q wholesale ina
proVement is uumistsksbly apparent.
Confidence in our absolute solvsnoy is
to such an extent reinsssted, and faith
in our disposition to adhere to sound
financial methods is 90 far restored as
to produce the most encouraging re-
suits both at home and abroad.
"The wheels Of domestic industry
have bsen slowly set in motion and the
tide OF foreign investment has again
started in our direction. Our recovery
being 20 well under way, nothing should
be done to check our convalesce noe, nor

Citizen COxey would be in danger Of
being obliged to sell some of his blooded
horses and distribute the proceeds
among his followers. If the army mum.
bers as many persons as Cltizsn Coxsy
claims it will, he would be compelled to
distribute many thousand dollars among
its members to prevent them from being
arrested as vsRrsnts."
The possession of 81 by q supposed
psuper was formerly considered in this
district to be sufficient evidence that he
was not person without visible means

der the construction of the vsgrsncy
law by Judge Kimball, one Of the
police judges Of the district, and va

Mr. James L. Pugh, jr., the special as

"They could be arrested under the va

GnHG from which We are Just emerging"
Rsiterating the rot usually employed
by the champion OF the gold standard,
the president calls attention to the de-
fective phraseology Of the bill, which he
fears will invite controversy as to it's
meaning and intent, and concludes with
q plea for the further issue Of bonds,
thus:
"Chis leads me to earnestly present
the desirability Of granting to the secrs-
tary Of the treasury better power than
now exists to issue bonds to protect our
gold reserve when for any reason it
should be necessary. Our currency is
in such confused condition, and our
financial affairs are apt to assume at
auy time 80 critical position, that it
seems to me such course is dictated by
ordinary prudence.
IL am not insensibls to the srgu-
ments in favor Of coming the bullion
seigniorsge now in the treasury, and
believe it could be done safely and with
advantage il the secretary Of the treas.
ury had the power to issue bonds at
low rate Of interest under authority in
substitution Of that now existing and
better suited to the protection of the
treasury.
81 hope q way will present itself in the
near future for the adjustment OF our
monetary affairs In such a comprshsn-
sive and conservative manner as will
afford to silver its proper place in our
currency, but in the meantime am ex-
tremely solicitous that whatever action
we take on this subj act may be such as
to prevent loss and Encouragement to
our people at home, and the destruction

UNHAPPY DEMOCRATS.
WASHINGTON, March 81. - President
ClevelRnd's veto OF the Bland bill has re-
suited in q proposition for a national
convention OF the West and South, to
form q new political party based on the
demand for the free coinage Of silver.
The proposition comes from certain rsdi-
cal democratic congressman who believe
the time has arrived when the party's
salvation in the West and South de-
msnds it should repudiate, once and
forever, eastern domination on finan-
cisl policies. Western and southern
democrats, who are at the head of this
movement, declare the veto of the Bland
bill shows that the administration has
SET it's face toward the single gold
standard.
Representative McLsurin, (dsm. S. C)
has taken the bold initiative in this step.
He has prepared the proposition and it
will be followed, he says, by call signed
by democratic silver congressman.
Mr.. McLsurin says he has talked with
many Of the southern and western
members Of congress and ne has yet to
find single democrat who has not
agreed with him that the time has come
when eastern financial ideas must be re-
pudiated. First, he says, it was thought
this movement would take the form Of
convention Of the governors of the states
interested, but they were so widely seps-
rated, geographically, it was feared
united action could not be obtained. It
was, therefore, decided to call national
convention. He said in the fight that

CHAPTER /.

CHAPTER l.
The Beattys were quite large fam
ily in the fall Of 1861. Their home was
and had been for three generations in
Beatty's creek" Batty's crick," the
people down there call it. This creek is
TN unmapped and not at all an affluent
tributary of the Clinch river, rising in
the heart OF tho Cumberland range, just
south of the Kentucky line. AS the
crow is supposed 20 fly, but never does,
the Beatty settlement is about 35 miles
west Of Cumberland Gap Perhaps it
would be more accurate TO say twas
about 35 miles" for when / saw the
place q few years ago it was covered
with "A fine second growth Of timber,
aud. except the rusting ironwOrk scat
tered about the site OF the little grist
mill. thero is nothing to indicate that
men ever lived there. A careful search
up the creek from where tho dam stood
would show, however, that persons had
- died or been buried there, for, as my
guide on the occasion of my last visit
said:
Eyes, thar's right smart lot of
graves in tAat bunch, and they wuz all
kinder kin to each other. F"
But am getting ahead Of my story
and marching it cleft in 'front.'" like q
military funeral procession.
All this region is splendidly wooded,
well watered, and tho valleys that seam
the irregular mountain spurs In an in
tricate maze are as fertile as the heart
OF the blue grass country to the north.
IT might have bccn a land OF wine and
honey and oil, with proper cultivation
and population that did not believe
that pork, corn and whisky arc the trim
ity that mako life worth tao living.
At the breaking out of tho war there
were IL buildings, not counting corn
cribs and outhousos, at Beatty's. All
these structures were log and much bet
ter built and more commodlous than the
majority of mountain abodes. Indeed
they might be called "houses," for the
smallest had moro than the one room Of
tho average mountain cabin. The oldest
and by no means the best Of these
houses was the bono of old Hugh Beat.

this time a tail, well preserved man Of

by Hugh Beatty's Ave married sons, tho
oldest, young Hugh" being 90 and
