roo SUDDEN CONVERSION

The denunciation of trusts and com
bines in Republican resolutions is of a
piece with their professions of friend
ship for silver, the peoples money.
Trusts and combines are the direct
nff>prings of the high protective policy
which eliminated in the enactment Of
the Mckinley law. As to silver, the
record of national legislation for the
last thirty years shows that party the
constant, unyielding enemy Of silver
and the interests of the people as af-
fected thereby. Its first act of open
hostility to the white metal money
was in demonetizing that coin whicl,
the Democrats had maintained as a
standard Of values throughout the
partys long career in control Of the
government, and without single eX-
ception from the date of that act TO
the close of the last session of con-
gress in every contest in behalf of sill
yer and the people the Republican
party has gone on record against it.,
including the bill providing for the
coinage of the bullion held by the
treasury. This turning about of Re
publicans in regard to trusts and com
bines and silver is too sudden TO be
sincere. The people understand that
IL is simply trick to deceive them,
and that they are not to be trusted in
matters of so great and vital concern.

WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS.

Throughout its thirty-odd years of
governmental control and spoilation
the Republican party has professed
friendship for the masses of the people,
claiming to be the champions OF
their cause The Democratic party
has made the same declaration and
claim, though IL has waged n ceaseless
warfare upon the policies and methods
OF the Republican party, because it be-
licyed that the party's professions
were insincere and knew that its poll
cies would finally bring disaster upon
the country. 1t is an old saying, and
true, that actions speak louder
than words. Les MS look into the
legislative history Of the country for
the past thirty years-the re, ords of
the two parties-and see what they
have done; which has been the true
friend and defender of the people, a. d
who is the false. First, We viii tx
anime the financial record;
On March 3. 1865, bill providing
for the issuance of non-taxable bonds
was put upon its passage in the house;
the vote stood So Republicans for, and
43 Democrats against-the full party
strength at that time This was a
Republican measure in the interest of
banks and monopolies and against the
people.
On March l3 1869, the bill providing
for the paying of of bonds, kCown as
greenback bonds, in gold-another
Republican measure in favor OF mon
opolists and national banks and
against the people. The vote stood 90
Republicans for, and IS Democrats
against-the party vote present on
both sides
On July 5, 1870, the Sherman bill To
increase the national bank circulation
So, 600, 600 was passed by vote of 90
to "A; aud on July 10, six days later,
another bill passed providing for the
exchange Of greenback bonds for gold
bonds-a dill for the exclusive benefit
of gold-bug monopolists and national
banks and against the people. The
vote stood l39 epublicans for, and
90 Democrats against the solid vote
vote of both parties present
In is72 the Republican party had be-
come SO reckless in its legislation in
the interest OF monopolies and against
the people that it vas being criticised
by many Of its more conservative
members, and in order to silence the
critics and nerve up its members in
congress bill was introduced endors-
ing the financial legislation OF the
party had up to that time, which
should also serve as a warrant for con-
tinuing the same line of policy. The
bill was passed July 2, 40 Republicans
voting for, and SO Democrats against
IT,
Along in the early eighties, many of
the national bank charters, which
were originally issued for twenty
years, woulr begin to expire and It be
came necessary from the Republican
monopolistic standpoint, to give them
new lease Of life. Accordingly a
bill was introduced TO extend the
charters Of national banks, and on
April 3, So, the bill passed, Republi-
cans for l03, Democrats against. 90.
On April s, SO, the Republicans
again manifested their hostility
to silver by sustaining with
their votes motion made by one Of
their aumber ia the house 20 suspend
the coinage OF that metal. The Dem-
oerats voted down the motion by a
vote Of lso, 20 81, Republicans fos.

more likely TO be veracious, especial ly
as it first saw the light in London
paper 1t has an appearance OF strict
and even narrow truthfulness. There
was certain Captain Blomberg, of
some regiment unknown, on active
service in Afica. Five or six of his
brother officers, he being engaged on
duty two hundred miles away, were
dining together. The door was
opened aud Captain Blomberg sp-

Without speaking, he walked In aud
sat down in a vacant chair. They all
asked him how he came there.
To their questions ne made no
reply; then one OF them said, "Blom-
berg, are you mad?"
On this he rose aud replied, when
you go back TO London take my son to
the queen and beg her to be his pro
tectOr."
This said, he walked odt of the
room as he had come in. A few days
afterward the news came that he he'd
been killed in action on the very day
aud at the same hour of his appear

II is pleasing to record that the
queen, ON whose favor the gallant
officer may have had some claims. did

As you stand in the exact middle Of

where the compensation is made for
the expansion and ontractiou by heat

you watch from cool morning till mid
day you san see just how much the
bridge has expanded in six hours
But does tho bridge which thus feels
heat and cold also feel at all the strain
Of the weights that pass over It? Let
us look and see. We stand again In
the middle of the bridge and watch
rs train of cars passes by. We no
tice where we looked before TO see
one end slide over the other that foot
passengers do not seem to affect It in
the least When heavy team passes
by there is no observable movement
The bridge does not seem TO have no

Of cars crossing the bridge. As it
comes nearer we observe that the rail-
ing overlaps, the ends begin TO move
apart. They separate for an inch.
Then, as the train passes, they come
together again and in a moment they
are in their normal position. The
bridge has noticed that the train was
passing. 1t did not break, it felt no
painful strain. but IL noticed and felt
and acknowledged and registered the
pressure which vainly attempted to
break the cables.

CHARLESTON, S. c., April 3.-Contrary to
public expectation, the whisky constabu-

their retreat from Darlington, did not RE-
sumo their raiding today. They took An
early morning train out of the city and
proceeded TO OrangebuTg. about ninety
miles north of here, where they are resting

that place is not known, but it is presumed
IL is for the purpose OF searching for con-
traband whisky.

How IL Operates n ths TAaaases sf FAris
and London.
In Paris determined resistance has
for some time been brought to bear
against the claques-men hired to ap-
plaud in the theaters
Claques, however, havo dourished
from time immemorial and are not
likely to die out yet awhile. In the
time of the Romans as many - i've
thousand men were hired to cheer .
single man, and to be . member OF .
claque was to be considered IN artist
Not only had they to shout. but they
were required to initiate the clashing
of broken jugs by swapping their
fingers in unison and to initiate the
patter Of hail and the droning Of bees,
for these were recognized signs of sp-
prevail.
Coming to moro recent times the
leader of q French claque considered
himself very poorly of unless he
made considerably over Eve thousand
dollars a year. Indeed, the post of
as much as twenty-five thousand dol
lars was exacted Is premium before q
man was permitted to I'LL q vacancy.
The chief was paid no stated salary,
but was allotted q certain number of
seats, which he could sell at his own
price, and these, together with the
presents he received from the actors,
amounted to q very substantial sum.
The claque was and still is nothing
more than a gigantic fraud Men are
deputed to laugh immoderately at
jokes, to applaud speeches, and women
are actually employed to sob audibly
and6ecome hysterical during affecting
scenes. In fact. In some foreign
theaters such member of the claque il
given a printed list of instructions,
which he or she is expected to follow
to the letter.
Things came TO such . pass some
years ago that q play was placed in
jeopardy through the Vaccinations of
rival claques. Jealous actresses would
employ their own claques. and the ri
diculous spectacle was presented of an
actress being applauded from one part
of the house and soundly hissed from
the other.
Circumstances are considerably modi-
fed in France now, but we still have
our claques here, says an English pa
per. They consist chiefly OF deadheads,
persons who are expected to applaud
in exchange for free admission They
appear for the most part the first
nights, when the fate of q play is in
tho balance, and are to be seen fran
tically clapping their hands when the
remainder of the audience is half
asleep.
At other times foreign actresses
fresh to the English stage hire men 70
applaud them on their first appear
unce. The whole business, however,
is carried out so inartistically that the
presence of claQue is nearly always
