Down with 5o.Cent statesmen.

Ifany one thinks that the silver craze
possesses the land west of the Rocky
Mountains, let him read the opinions
Of the Portland Oregonian:
''The chief enemy of industry and
paralyzer OF business is the member of
congress who proposes to shift the
basis of money from the gold standard
to the silver standard. These men are
entitled to no quarter. The highest
duty of citizenship is TO oppose and
defeat them. There will be no revival
OF industry and business till they are
put down. Do we want restoration OF
prosperity? Do we wish 70 make it
possible for men to invest money in

THE AMERICAN PARTY.

Silverites Advised to Flock Together.
The American, of Philadelphia,
edited by Wharton Barker, one of the
manufacturers who tried hard to tie
protection and free silver together,
on April 4th, called upon silverites to
withdraw from the old parties and to
form an organization called the Amer
lean Party.
The paper says the action of the
Manufacturer Club, of this city, at
its meeting on Monday last, declaring
for gold standard ''Makes it clear
that the self-appointed and place-seek-
ing leaders of the Republican party,
the men who will control the st. Louis
Convention, will be permitted to make
the platform of that party declare for
the gold standard or cowardly strad-
die that can mean nothing but the
gold standard. The Democratic party
will do no better, for the President
and his allies will surely control the
action of that party at the Chicago
Convention. It is not worth while
for those Republicans and Democrats
who believe that bimetallism must be
re-essablished by the United States to
longer wait upon the action of their
representatives. They must not waste
time. 'The country can only be saved
from the money lenders, from the
dealers In credit, by the formation of
q new party. It should be called the
American party. This party, stand
ing for American interests, the inter-
ests Of all engaged in productive in
dustries. the party of the plain people,
cannot fail TO command great major
ity of the votes of the people at the
election to be held in November"
If the Silverites will only accept
this advice, 60 off by themselves and
give the toiling millions the long
looked-for opportunity to declare for
60-cent dollars, the campaign atmos-
phere will be cleared up wonderfully.
It is to be hoped that all of the "16-
toll or bust" people will take this
honest step in favor of dishonest
money, and await the counting OF
noses on this issue.

Hoke Smith on Ratios.

Secretary Hoke Smith. in his de-
bate with ex-Speaker Crisp, made this
telling point: Jefferson found gold
worth fifteen times as much as silver

thirty times as much as silver, but
want to fix the ratio at only 49, to /.

This is scheme of the ruling silver
ties to carry the state for free silver.
II the party wants to test the question
of silver let it be done by the MEM

Circulated A. Il. A. Literature.
Washington, Oct 17.-Chairman Bah
cock, of the Republican congressional
campaign committee, today issued the
following formal statement to the
press:
Il have been today handed what
purports to be an advance sheet of a
document now being printed in this
city. 1t is entitled. "A bold appeal to
bigotry; Republicans circulating A. P.
A literature; the congressional com
mittee doing the work, but Sinking
the responsibility
THE document is made up of ex-
tracts from newspapers, and is so ut
terly devoid of truth that it would
hardly seem necessary to deny any
tissue of base falsiications. 1 have re-
peatedly stated TO the press that the
Republican congressional committee
had absolutely no connection of any
kind, either directly or indirectly, with
any secret society; that it has conduc-
ted the campaign strictly on the lines
indicated in the last national plat
form. We have worked steadily on this
line, and all the literature that has
been published or handled by the COM
mittee has been exposed for the pub
lie and for the public uses in our re-
ception rooms at the headquarters in
this city. No one has ever refused any
of the documents published by or is
sed from this committee, and they
have all been scattered broadcast over
the land. as the committee thought.

Chicago. Oct. 1.-THE annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Illinois
Central was held today. The old board
of directors were reelected unanimous
ly. President Fish made a statement
to the directors showing the first three
months of the year there was a small
increase in the earnings and the de-
crease for the year was in the passen-
ger and miscellaneous earnings. The
decrease is accounted for by the abnor-
NAL amount Of passengers and mis-
cellaneous earnings during the Worlds
fair, with which the earnings OF this
year had to be compared.
Word was received today from CHAIR
man Caldwell, Of the Western Passen-
ger association, who is now in New
York, comforting with the officials of
the trunk line, that the trunk Zines had
agreed to withdraw their objections TO
the operation of the emigrant clearing
house of the western roads and that
institution will be allowed to go on as
before. All that remains for the west
ern lines to accomplish is to come to
some agreement with the 500 line and
the Canadian Pacific regarding the ra te
of commission to be paid on the emil
grant business, and they will then nave
their emigrant agreement as nearly
perfect as a, railroad agreement can be.
A meeting of the western roads with
the officials of the 500 and Canadian
Pacific will be held tomorrow In New
York.
The lines of the Central Traffic as
-sooia.tion have come to an understand
ing with the western roads regard
ing the rates to be charged on excess
baggage. The rates will remain the
same hereafter, no matter whether the
passenger rates are reduced or not.

Washington; D. c., Oct. 17.5[Spec-
ial.]-Secretary Hoke Smith had long
consultation this afternoon with Gen
eral Armstrong commissioner of Indian
affairs, regarding the appointment of
commissioners to allot Indian lands,
and the secretary told The Herald cor
respondent that by Saturday he ex-
poets to send the names of the COM
missioners to the President for ap-
prevail.
There are applications almost in
Vulnerable from all over the country
for the positions, and, therefore, the
secretary will have pretty hard work
to determine his course. It is pretty
certain, however, that General NcCler-
nand will be one member while C. T.
Byrne formerly agent on the reserva-
ton, will probably be selected on ac-
count of his knowledge concerning the
country and Indian nature
The remaining members will almost
certainly come from Utah. as Secre-
tary Smith believes in giving represen-
tation to Utonians as far as possible,
though Indian matters he considers
altogether outside of local jurisdic-
ton.
The choice will lie between Will
Lett, a. ]. Weber, of Ogden, Alex
Mitchell and Alonzo Hyde, so far as
can be told at present, though there
are several more Utah applicants.
Now that the matter is practically
settled, Bert Seaboldt, who has been
looking after the interests of Utah peo-
pie, will return home.

BRYAN AND THURSTON.
First of the Two Debates Was Heated
and Most Decidedly Interestiny-
Thurston's Absurd Statements

Omaha, Oct. IA special to the Bee
from Lincoln, Neb., says: The first of
the two joint debates on political issues
between Hon. w. ]. Bryan and Hon. ].
NJ. Thurston occurred here this afternoon.
1t is estimated that 1000 people were in
Agricultural hall during the speaking
The whole state was represented and
many from other states were present.
The fact that both speakers are avowed
candidates for the United States Senate
added to the interest of the occasion. The
reception gwen to the principal figures of
the afternoon were hearty and enthusi-
aStic.
c. ]. Smythe, of Omaha, and John p
Maui, of Lincoln, took turns in presiding.
AS Mr.. Bryan was to open the debate,
Mr.. Smythe made the opening statement.
He stated the conditions of the debate,
and asked respectful attention to both
speakers. Then he introduced Congress
man Bryan, who was greeted with cheers.
The terms of the debate confined the
speakers to no particular topic. Bryan
touched chiefly OF silver, income tax and
the Pacific railroad Indebtedness. The in
come tax was fair and he was satisfied
with the future. The future would vindi-
cate his judgment AS to the Pacific rail-
roads, if he was elected to the Senate, he
proposed to do his best to have the gov
eminent mortgage foreclosed.
1t was on the silver issue that he was
most eloquent. He was sure the white
metal would be victorious eventually He
pointed to the gains it had made recent
ly in all parts of the country as vindica-
ton of his position Mr.. Bryan was
cheered vociferously at the conclusion of
his remarks.
Mr.. Thurston received a great ovation.
He is a graceful speaker, and in a meas
ure has an advantage over his able oppo-
nent. His speech was more of a general
nature than that of Bryan. He confessed
to be at a disadvantage in the estimation
of some in discussing the Pacific railroads
since he was the attorney of the leading
company. Still he was confident that it
was not to advantage of people of the
whole country to have the government
foreclose its second mortgage. since 1t
must then pay the enormous first mort
gage indebtedness. Replying to Mr.. Bry-
ans income tax views, he was brief and
deprecated the measure, believing 1t
could not endure. On silver the speaker
became brilliant. After declaring, to the
surprise of some, that he favored the
free coinage of American production, he
pictured the enormous loads of foreign
white metal that would be dumped into
this country in the event Of free coinage

REPUBLICAN RIOT.
Most Disgrncefui Antics in st. Louis
in Which the A. p. A. Question
Figures Quite Largely.

| st. Louis, Oct. ia riot broke out,
this afternoon, at one of the polling places
in the Seventh ward, where Republican
primaries were being held for the selec-
ton of delegates to the Republican city
and the Twelfth district congressional
conven tons.
Knives and pistols were drawn, and for
a time it looked as if there might. be
blcodshed but nobody received more than
bruises. Fifty or more police officers
appeared on the scene, and quelled the
riot, arresting, Tom Maloney, one of the
leaders, and the gang which caused the
trouble, and nine or ten other men. Sew
eral other leaders escaped during the con-
fusion.
The riot commenced when A. H. LUIS
ter drove up to the polling place with a
shotgun and announced himself an A. p.
A and said he was afraid of nobody. An
A. and said he was ready to tight any
member of that organization. His re
marks, whatever they were, incensed the
crowd and a rush was made for him.
He drove off and escaped, but the trou-
BILE continued when the men, who We're
later arrested, attacked number of ne
groes who had already voted or who
is said, ttat they were supporting a. Z.

who were knocked down and beaten and

relieve the United States naval vessels,
which have been 50 long at Bluefelds,
Nicaragua Today me sent orders by
telegraph to Captain Summer, of the
Columbia, to proceed with his vessel
to Kingston, Jamaica. The commander
of the Marblehead was ordered to pro-
coed with his ship to Carthegenia,
Colombia, If the state Of affairs at Blue
fields would warrant the complete with
drawal of both warships. The reason
for sending the Marblehead 20 Carthe-
genia is to guard against any injury
to the American interests there-mainly
in the hands of Boston firms through
Revolutionary movements growing out
of selection of a president to succeed
Dr. Nunez, who died not long ago. If
the Columbia remains near Jamaica for
a time, she will be in a position to re-
turn ait short notice to Bluefelds if the
occasion requires it.

EFFECTS OF THE TARIFF.
Strained Relations Between the
United States of Colombia and the
United States of America Exist
No More.

Washington, Oct. IA sharp dipio
matte agreement between the United
States of Colombia and the United States
of America has just been brought to a
close. The differences grew out of. and
have existed ever since President Harri-
son, in March, 1892, issued a retaliatory
proclamation against Colombia, under
the provisions of the Mckinley act, be-
cause of the latter's refusal to negotiate
a reciprocity treaty with the United
States, as had been done with other Cen
trail and South American states.
Senior Hurtado, the Colombian minis
ter, protested against the proclamation
and after warm correspondence with
Secretary Blaine and John w. Foster,
left Washington and has returned but
once since, that occasion being a call on
Secretary Gresham. For two years Co
lombia's protests have been before the
state department. Now, however. the
new American tariff does away with re-
ciprocity and retalia ton, so that the re-
taliatory proclamation against Colombia
is annulled.
AS a result, the strained relations be-
tween the countries is ended and it is
thought Senior Hurtado will again take
up his residence in Washington.

DRY GOODS SALE.

New York, Oct. 17.-Wilmerding, Nor
ris & Mitchell today made a peremp-
tory sale of $4,000 pieces of black and
colored cotton warp, cashmere and
fancy dress goods, by order of Hard
ing, Whitman & Co., selling agents of
the Arlington mills. There was a
large attendance of buyers from all
parts of the country, whose presence
meant business, as the results prove.
AS an Offering at auction, the sale was
a success, buyers so regarded it, but
from the managers standpoint, it was
not considered particularly so, and the
more staple goods cannot be replaced
at the cost realized. Considering the
entire offering, the lateness of the sea-
son and other attending conditions, the
result cannot be regarded as otherwise
than very favorable.
