The Enemy Of Silver.

AT this time there IS a baying all
along the thick and thin local repub-
lican line in Kansas and Colorado to
gather voters into the republican
fold "once more"
There is no attempt to prove that
if the republican party should regain
control of the country the free coin
age Of silver would stand any chance
of restoration. That would be even
too brazen a task for the republican
organs to attempt
However they take advantage Of
the fearful depression in business and
the consequent almost universal suf
fering to unbraid the party in power
and lay at its doors all the country's
calamities, and, ergo the only hope
for relief is IN the restoration Of "the
grand old republican party" once
again in power.
They now join with the eastern
republican press in ascribing the
country's ills almost wholly to the
prospective passage of the Wilson
bill, and, in addition, as did the Rep
ublscan day or two ago, they urge
there is no chance for improving the
value of silver or improving the status
of silver money except through inter-
national agreement-hence what's the
use Of struggling for free coinage
victories in the United StatesY they
ask.
The free coinage fight lnaugurated
in the west has stirred the country to
its depths from one end Of it to the
other. The fact that these states gave
their votes to Weaver, and became
the rallying point OF free SILVER voters
all over the country has done more to
keep the cause alive than every other
influence besides. 1t made possible
the herculean struggle against the re
peal Of the Sherman law, the passage
of the selRniorage bill through both
senate and house, the revolt in the
democratic party both west and south
against the persistent enmity of Cleve-
land to bimetallIsm.
The republican party is to-day the
only solid, implacsble political organi-
cation fighting against free coinage
in the country. The democratic party
in a number of the eastern states is
organized against IT. the president

incompetency or dishonesty the Capt.
tai has failed to realize that ten or
fifteen times as much incompetency
and dishonest has been manifested in
the past republican boards, All we
desire is simply justice Every I'M
aginable plan has been tried and every
imaginable scheme concocted to de.
fraud the state through the purchase
Of bad bonds since the present
administration came into power. The
board has rejected about 100000 in
bonds during the past year because
they were not considered good secu-
rites, and out of 100000 worth 80
far purchased these $4,000 of Ham
llton county are the only ones whose
validity has ever been questioned,and
even IN thus case the chances Of the
state losing anything is very remote"

that party elected is violently against
it, but two-thirds of the democratic
representatives in congress and Unit
ed States senators favor free coinage,
and would to-day, and will before
this congress adjourns vote for a sill
yer free coinage law at ratio of 16
to l.,
The vote on Wednesday, in the
house of representatives on the seig-
niorage bill tells a crushing tale
about the enmity of the republican
party as a national organization to
silver. When the roll was first called
on the passage of the bill over the
presidents veto the republicans re-
Trained from voting, and had the vote
then been announced it would have
been against the president by the re
quisite two-thirds, and that solely on
the vote Of the democrat and populist
members. Confronted with this, to
the goldbugs, startling fact, the dem
ocratic monometallists urged the re-
publicans to vote, which they did be-
fore the opportunity was lost, with
The momentous and shameful result
that the seigniorage bill failed Of the
necessary two-thirds by seventy-four
votes.
What a commentary on the propo.
sition to sustain the republican party
in Kansas and Colorado. 1t is the
distinctiyely open, peculiar and ag-
gressive enemy Of free coinage and to
any betterment Of silver in the United
States. To sustain it in any form is
to sustain a public enemy, to sustain
the shrinkage and loss Of fortunes, to
sustain the shutting down of our sill
yer mines and the depopulating Of
our silver camps as we'll as the de-
struction Of all business that depends
upon them, whether directly or col
laterally.-NetUS.

were then taken to the point where
the road was to be started, about 600
yards east Of the light house. As the
light house was reached there we're

ontft consisting of two twelve-mule
scrapers and forty or fifty two-mule
machines, At the point where the
ceremonies were held were two more
twelve mule scrapers.
The party got down from the cars
and surrounded the two big scrapers.
Colonel w. B. benson Immediately
Hammered upon one of the machines
and announced to the crowd that the
ceremonies would be initiated by an
address from Mr.. Noah Allen, general
solicitor of the Gulf e. Interstate raif.
road and e&-assistant attorney general
of Kansas.
Speeches were made by other
prominent men, among whom were
Judge George E, Mann, W. O. Teeter
and H. M, Kimpton, of Texas, At
the close of the ceremonies a rattle
and roar was heard, and Buffalo
Jones came up on a run, driving eight
mules hitched to a road scraper. Mr..
Jones lit in, and the way he tore up
Bolivar Point with that machine was
something to see and wonder at.
Back and forth the team raced, and
every foot of ground gone over was
rooted up and distributed by wide
belt, right where it was wanted. -Four
such machines with twelve mules will
throw up right Of way in q hurry.
The Bessie left the point at $40
o'clock, arriving back at the Mallory
pier at 5:45. On the way back the
business men of Galveston who had
seen what was done and the grading
machinery on the ground, expressed
themselves as satisfied that the men
who are attempting to put this road
through will succeed, and in event Of
any failure on their part that the road
will be built by others. 1t IS stated

Fraudulent Bonds.

Geo. W. Crane, prominent repub
lIcan and chairman of the republican
central committee of Shawnee county,
and ID. f. Lindsey, a well-known at.
torney Of Topeka, clipped off the
coupons Of $4,000 worth of worth
less Hamilton county bonds, repre-
sented them to be all right and sold
them to the school fund commission.
ers Then, with great show of pre-
tended honesty, Crane offered to re-
turn $4,000 to the school fund in case
the bonds were found worthless, OK.
planning that he had not intended
that his agent should sell them In
Kansas but take them east A great
hue and cry was raised in last Satur-
days Capital charging the populist
commissioners with incompetency and
dishonesty. This let's the cat out of
the bag, showing the whole scheme
to have been concocted by Crane and
the republican leaders of Topeka, to
try to create campaign capital against
the present administration. Their
little game, however, did not work,
and it would not be one of the impos
sible happenings to see Crane and his
uefarious gang placed in the states
keeping at Lansing for their pains.
State Superintendent Gains imme-
diately wrote letter explaining the
affair, SO fairly and completely that
the intended effect Of the proceeding
Was not only lost but it acts as a
boomerang, completely knocking out
the gang who expected to further the
interests of the republican party by it.
Supt. Gains, however, does not stop
with showing up the present transac-
lion, but INDUCES in u little history
as to the doings of former boards.
Following Is brief extract from his
letter:
"There are now $4,000 of the bonds
of Kearney county ia treasury, upon
which the interest has never been
paid since they were purch ased, and
which in all probabilities, are alto
gether worthless, but they were pur-
chased in 1889 by republican board,
three years before the present board |
came into power. This, however, is
not all: while the people are being in
formed of the amount Of the school |
fund that has been badly invested,
it may be we'll to mention the fact
that the republican board Of commits
sioners, in addition to these Kearney
county bonds, have invested 100000
of this fund in bonds of the city of
Lawrence, $1,000 in Saratoga city
bonds, and Sl5,9OO IN fraudulent
school bonds of Rice, Norton,
Comanche aud Chautauqua counties,
all of which is lost.

$4,000 in Hamilton county bonds to

attending the throwing of the first

Yesterday came off bleak and chilly
and many thought that the public
breaking Of dirt at Bolivar Point as
the commencement of the construc-
ton of the Gulf & Interstate railroad
would be postponed until some fairer
day should come. Such an event was
not thought of by the Gulf & Inter
state people, however, and they had
determined to break that sod il they
had to wear bathing suits while do
ing it.
At / o'clock at noon the Besse-a
big cotton lighter-was wabbling at
the east end of the Mallory pier, she
being under charter to take the ex-
cursionists to and from Bolivar Point.
The Bessie has a license to carry $50
passengers, and nearly that number
boarded her.
