BELL ON SILVER.

The Populist platforms invariably de-
clare for "the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to L.
and the members Of that party in the
country districts honestly believe that
to be unadulterated Populist doctrine.
They believe that on that point there
should be in every good Populist, mel
ther variableness nor shadow of turn
ing" Hence, 1t must follow that any
other ratio than 16 to / is gold-bug
heresy.
The Congressional Record of the spe-
cial session of congress last fall will
show more fully than herein the fol-
lowing facts:
On August IL, Mr.. Wilson Of West
Virginia presented bill (H. r. H. en-
titled IAN act to repeal part of an
act, approved July IA, 1890, entitled,
An act directing the purchase of sill
yer bullion and the issue of treasury
notes thereon, and for other pur-
poses.'"
Then follows the full text Of the bill
Mr.. Bland submitted substitute,
silver, and for other purposes"
Then follows Mr.. Bland's bill.
Mr.. Bland also offered a resolution
as to the method of considering the
bill, in substance as follows: 1t shall
be Immediately considered for four
teen days; eleven days shall be given
to debate on the bill, and three days
t9 considering amendments, the time
ID be equally divided between the two
ides.
Order of amendments: The vote
be taken first at the ratio of 16 to
; IL that fails, then at the ratio of II
u; If that fails, then at the ratio Of
to /; If that fails, then at the ratio
10 to /; II that fails, then at the
tito Of 20 to ].
The voting began on August %. On
ie ratio Of 16 to /, Mr.. Bell voted
Aye" as every Coloradan would vote; !;
the ratio Of II to !, Mr.. Bell voted
Aye;" on the ratio Of 1s to /, Mr.. Bell
oted AYE" on the ratio of 10 to 1,
II. Bell voted AYE" on the ratio of
} to /, Mr.. Bell voted AYE" And it
fair to presume that, II there had
zen any more ratios, Mr.. Bell would
ave kept right on voting AYE" until
and Senator Sherman would have
,tten together on 80 to !.

The smoke was dense and the red

SUBJECT TO DUTY.
Secretary Cariislo on the Reimportation
of LIQUORS.

OF Liquors.
Washington, Oct. 2.-Secretary Car.
Isle has rendered decision on the
question Of the proper duty to be as-
sessed upon relmpOrted domestic splr-
its. The secretary holds that such
spirits withdraw from bond after tho
date upon which the new traffic act
went into effect, August 2s. is subject
to duty equal to the internal rev
enue tax imposed by that act, namely
S1.1O per gallon. The contention of
the importers was that the duty as
sessed should equal the rate Of in
ternal revenue tax In force at thn
date of reimportation which In this
particular case was 90 cents per gal
lon. The secretary comedies that II
the duty had been paid at the time
of importation, which was prior TO
August 2s, the duty would have been
imposed according to the rate Of In
ternal revenue tax existing at that
time. 1t is learned that this decision
will affect very large quantities o:
spirits which were exported Just prior
to the expiration OF the three year
bonded period, and subsequently i'm
ported in order to take advantage o:
the bonded period permitted by the
law.

Senator Hartzelrs severe arraign-
ment of Lafe Pence in his Denver
speech last week met with earnest at
tention. The great and unanswerable
conundrum presented, "What has Lafe
done for Colorado?" was a crusher.
Yea, verify, what has this bantam
statesman done? 1t is true he made n
campaign in Virginia for the Populist
ticket while drawing his salary to rep
resent the people Of Colorado. But If
any one can point to a single useful
measure passed by Pence and Bell
during their term of Office of interest
to this state, that man has not yet
been discovered.

TRAIN wREckERs AT WORK.

A Wabash Engineer Killed Near Toledo
Toledo, Oct. 1.-Train No. AZ on the
Wabash railroad was wrecked yes.
terday morning at Maumee, q small
town twelve miles south Of this city.
The accident happened shortly before
o'clock, and was the result Of we'll
laid plan to ditch the entire train.
Happily, albeit miraculously, the Pull
mans kept on the track and the mail
and baggage cars. although badly
wrecked, did not contain any victims
The wreck was planned by whoever
conceived the plot, to occur nt the west
end Of long siding just beyond the
Maumee station. The road at the
lower part of the switch target had
been removed and the switch was
partly thrown. The target indicated a
clear track and Engineer Smith was
not aware Of the situation many min
utes before the motor was pumping
along on the ties.
AS soon as the train struck the
switch 1t leaped into the air, fell for
ward toward the ditch and turned
completely over. The trucks Of the
mail cars followed the engine, but the
cars themselves went in an opposite
direction. Under them were found the
dead body Of Engineer Smith and
Fireman Day. The latter was badly
injured.
At the time of the wreck the train
was running at its regular speed, and
1t Is considered miracle that no more
lives were lost. The express and bag
gage cars were literally reduced to
splinters, although the occupants es-
capped unhurt There were several
passengers In the combination smoker.
,to1, tvra
yet no scratches could be shown by
any Of them. The passengers In the
Pullmans were only made aware Of
the accident by the severe jolting
which they experienced.
The dead engineer and the fireman
are both new men on the road and are
believed to have come from the Lc-
high road during the recent American
Railway Union strike.

Fanling, william B. Mitchell, George
Barney and Andrew Klaheski, the
miners who were entombed In the
slope of the Northwest Coal Com.
pany on Thursday, were rescued at q
late hour last night. All are alive and
well and do not seem much the worse
for their long imprisonment. As soon
as an opening was made Refreshments
were passed through to the prisoners
and their hunger and thirst had been
satisfied before they reached the sur.
face.
The men were without food 90 hours.
They procured water from a miniature
well which they dug in their cell.

The Populist State Board of Equal

about one and quarter millions.
Would not these reformers q "arise

tion in this state had done SO? Would

that "the corrupt old parties were

that these reformers have modified

Mrs. Peavey will draw Il large vote

dor are we'll exemplified in the speech

He gave tho Pops severe dig at the

Leaving aside all discussions Of
Congressman Bells vote on free wool
and free lead, and without, in any
way, debating the propriety of his
views and acts on the tariff, the peo-
pie who earn their living by mining
in the mountains would like to have
him explain in what way he benefit
ed his constituency by his mining u.s.
essment bill? As a matter of fact,
thousands of dollars that would have
been paid out during the past two
years for assessment work to the poor
miners in the different camps whose
principal dependence has heretofore
been this class of work, have been
saved by the nonresident owners who
are thus holding claims free of ex-
pemse owing to the kindness (O of
Congressman Bell. The honest min
ers thus deprived Of legitimate work,
think that Mr.. Bells bill discrimi-
mates against the workingman and In
favor of the capitalist, who is thus
enabled to dodge paying out money
for developing his claim, while the
real miner whose home is in the camp
must hustle elsewhere for work.
Rugged old Tom Bowen who has seen
all the ups and downs Of a miners
life and knows what he needs will not
father any such bill another year
when elected to take Judge Bells
place. The miners will get square
deal every time from Tom Bowen,
and they know 1t.

The whole-souled and energetic way
in which the women are responding to
the political demands on them shows
the wisdom of equal suffrage. Their
meetings, while being fully as en-
thusiastic as the old-fashioned mems
meetings, are far more entertaining
and orderly. And as the ladies are
great workers naturally, they are
never satisfied with half doing any
thing. They are going to be sure to
make good job of 1t in November,

big majority that will wake up the de-
luded Wniteites, who still think there
