scholar, died at his home in New
Orleans, on the morning of Feb.
18th, having entered the ninty-first
year of his age only few days be-
fore his death. His fame as his
torian and novelist was national,
and he numbered many personal
friends among noted men, among
them being Bancroft, the historian,
together With poets, novelists,
statesmen and divlnes of world
wide reputation. His contribu-
tions to history and the world of
letters generally are very valuable.

He Can Give No Reason.

Editor Mccormick, of the Alex
andria Town Talk, without stating
any of our propositions, giving any
reason for the faith he has in the
present silver currency, or in the
least answering any of the argu-
ments advanced for a change in
the ratio" or ''intrinsic value" of
silver coin, complacently and dog
matically advises us, "Take a Dose
of Coin"-that is, read a little book
called "Coin," that seems to have
altogether obscured his vision.
Well, Mack; we are willing to
take all the coin we can get, wheth-
er backed up by the faith of this
great and glorious government OF
not, and if we had a big pile of sill
yer we expect our individual inter-
est and selfshness would prompt
us to join with you and howl for it
to be coined into dollars at the ra-
ito of 16 to l. But that does not
prevent the exercise of our judg-
ment and common sense. We are
forced to believe it is a bad policy
for the government to coin silver
at the ratio of 16 to l, because the
commercial world has steadily re-
pudiated this valuation for more
than twenty years, and the govern
ment has to back it with its faith,
and that faith is only maintained
by taxing the people. This is true
whether the government pays for
keeping up its faith, or allows the
individual to pay in the markets
the discount necessary to maintain
its silver dollars equal to gold.
We believe the better plan is to
change the ratio, as was contem-
plated in the platform of 1892, and
fix it at Is to l, or even 20 to l, and
then the intrinsic value placed on
silver by the civilized world would
maintain its "exchangable value"
without pledge of the government
or tax on its people.
Any other arrangement is an In
justice to the great masses of the
people of this country, and can
only benefit the few who are direct
ly interested in mining or specula-
ting in silver. The Democratic
platform pledges Mr.. Cleveland
and the party to fix this matter of
ratio, either by international agree
ment or safeguards of legislation.
Here you are, protesting to be
Democrat, yet opposing Mr.. Cleve-
land for trying to do this very thing.
You can indulge in all the prophet
ic cant you wish about this coun-
try never seeing another prosper
GUS hour until the United States
declares for bimetalism." We will
have bimetalism, but never in the
way you contend for 1.-THE Jones
silver bill just passed in Congress
Notwithstanding. The American
people understand the situation,
and they are going to see that sill
YER is coined in accordance with its
value, and then we will have BIZ
metalism and a sound currency.
You will never see this issue OBJ
secured by the demagogic cry of
''free silver" Stop your Populis-
tic vagaries and labor for bimetal-
ism on true Democratic lines.

inent Louisiana historian and

Valentines Day came and passed
in Colfax this year with little or no
attention being paid to the silly
custom of sending valentines. The
snow seems to have caused it to be
forgotten entirely, our young folks
devoting the 14th and 10Th almost
exclusively to snowbslling each
other, and we did not see or hear
Of a valentine received by any on.

He at once entered the higher

shoulders above the whole school.
Mr.. Teagle is noted for being very
tall, and we doubt not will fully fit
himself to preserve his distinction
for superiority and prominence in

IN THE CAUSE OF IRELAND,
Nationalist of Chicago Celebrate
the Anniversary of an
Execution.
Brady Said the Eastern Disturbance
Was the First Ray of Promise
for Patriots.

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 23.-The Irish Ma
tionalists of Chicago celebrated the twenty
eighth anniversary of the execution OF
Larkin, O'Brien and Allen, the Man
chester martyrs, at Central Music Hall to-
night. There were about 1900 persons
present, many of whom were women.
Hon. P. V. Fitzpatrick opened the meet
ing and introduced Hon. Matthew P.
Brady, who first read telegram of greet
ing signed by Judge M. Cooney of San
Francisco from a meeting of Irish Nation
alists in that City.
Mr.. Brady then delivered stirring adj
dress on Irish patriotism, and told in
plain terms that the Eastern situation,
which may involve Great Britain and Rus
STA in war, was the first ray of promise of
the appearance of the star of Irish liberty.
An address of the combined Irish societies
of Chicago was then read and the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we most heartily indorse the
principles OF the Irish National Alliance, as
put forth at the convention recently held in
this city, and urge all our Irish kindred in the
United States TO give 1t their cordial support,
because il is only by armed effort, God sending
the opportunity and we taking advantage of
his mercy, that the independence OF Ireland
can be finally secured.
That we extend to the Irish amnesty associa-
tions, now laboring for the release of the politi
cal prisoners our heartiest sympathy, and that
we viii do whatever may lilo III our power to

SHIPPED SEAMAN'S WIFE,
For This Reason the Millionaire
Waived All Claims Against
Deacon Bisbee.
Rather Sensational Turn Taken in the
Suit of the New Yorker Against
Lawyer.

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 23.-The litigation
between deacon" L. H. Bisbee, promi-
nent Chicago attorney, and Robert Sea-
man, the New York millionaire, involving
the recovery of $50 1000 from the lawyer,
has assumed a sensational phase before
Master in Chancery Leaning, before whom
evidence is being taken.
In long cross-eXamination conducted
for the millionaire Mr.. Bisbee stated that
he visited New York in 1887, and had
effected settlement between Mr.. Seaman
and Ernestine Sanderson, who claimed to
be Mr.. Seaman's common law wife,
whereby the woman was to go away and
cease to be burden upon his mind. The
defendant said he had held many con-
ferences with Mr.. Seaman and the woman
in the Grand Hotel, New York, and at
Broadway restaurant, and made verbal
agreement with the millionaire that his
services in effecting a release of the
woman's claims was to liquidate any
amount of money for which Mr.. Seaman
might hold Mr.. Bisbee's notes.
John c. Paterson, counsel for Mr.. Sea-
man, was surprised at the revelation of
the woman in the case" and tried to
shake Mr.. Bisbee's testimony, but the de-
fendant's story did not vary under rigid
fire of cross-examination He added that
Mr.. Seaman decided property to the
woman and lot of jewels, and that Mr..
Seaman agreed to relinquish all claims
against the defendant on the further pay
ment of $4,000.
To substantiate his story Mr.. Bisbee
served notice on the defendants lawyer
that he would take dispositions in New
York

operated the Japanese village at the Mid
winter Fair, wanted a piece, and he organ
lied a bank; so did w. G.. Peters, and he
organized two banks-one a National and
the other a savings bank-and Harry Ball
got one together in a hurry for fear all
would escape before he got finger in the
pie, and so there came to be almost as
many banks in town as saloons and quite
as truly factors in politics. Therefore,
when it became necessary for Boggs. to be
reelected he had powerful backing.
Frank Lane made it hot for Boggs-kept
firing hot shot into his camp day after day
and at the entire administration-expos
its rottenness, showed up the steals,
proved Boggs liar and thief, made 1t so
warm for Zwickey he had to resign, and
his chief blackmai!er was removed. Not
day went by but the News exposed some
new rascality, and there seemed no doubt
but that Campbell would succeed Boggs
and Parker defeat Huson for Mayor at the
election soon following. Heroic measures
were necessary. His bank sent for Cam p
bell and told him that business man had
no right to enter politics, and they must
ask a settlement of their account.
The Ledger, now passed from Rade-
baughs control into the hands of SchuIze,
Anderson and Bennett, boosted Huson
and defended Boggs. The Globe W as dead
absorbed by the Ledger, and the campaign
was drawing TO a close, with every chance
in favor of Parker and Campbell.
A dag or two before election an immense
corruption fund was raised among the
banks; a gigantic torchlight procession
WIS organized, with fully 5000 men in line,
on the night before election; money was
poured out like water. Boggs personally
visited every saloon in town, accompanied
by Huson. Gold was piled up on the bars
and spent with the prodigality of mil
lionaire by Boggs. But the Christian in
fiuence was not overlooked. That night
Parker was indiscreet enough to offer bets
on his own election. The Ledger came
out with glazing headlines on election

ready for the Supreme Court, were illed on
the same day, pro forma decision entered
by Judge Parker against the bonds, and
the matter taken to the Supreme Court in
the brief space of twenty-four hours. Here
a decision was rendered, reversing Parker
by the very peculiar method of declaring
all the purchase bonds within the limit,
and extension bonds to the amount of
$3.50, 600 within the limit also, but declar-
ing the remainder void. The logic of this
decision was to bring the Supreme Court
Immediately into contempt and under sus-
picion.
Then came the floating of the bonds.
Boggs meantime had continued his war
rant speculations, but had also stepped
outside into other speculations, investing
money in stocks of various schemes. One,
the international Wrecking Company,
particularly, promised large returns that
never materahZed. The peniteEtiary
stared him In the face, and in his despera-
ton he had to turn to new resources. The
banks began to fear him. He became
master. They must feed him. Some dis
creetly withdrew their connections when
he tried to force warrants upon them for
which there was no sale. Here Wheeler
came to the front, having been crowded
out of the Commercial Bank, by organ
izing the Imperial Loan and Trust Com
pany, with Mayor Huson as president and
George w. Boggs, Grattan III. Wheeler and
a. Y. Fawcett, prospective Democratic
candidate for Mayor, as directors. The
purpose of this institution was to deal in
warrants. Shortly afterward the Mer-
chants National Bank failed, with city
money on deposit, followed by the Tacoma
National and the Washington National,
all with city money. The Traders also
failed, but had no deposit. The Tacoma
Trust and Savings Bank, with Nelson Ben
nett, president of the Merchants Ma
tional, as its president, was also threat
ened. but weathered the storm by a reor-
ganization. in which Bennett and Thomp-
son OF the Merchants disappeared from its

description of Judge Randolph, but giving
his name as Major Charles Radiord of
Virginia, had reached Colombia and made
some investments near Cali. Two or three
months ago he shot and killed near Can
an aged German merchant named Charles
Simmons. The Consul said his conviction
appeared practically certain.
