thin there is something wrong. The
waste is greater than the supply
and it is only question Of time
when the end must come.

BILE is With the digestive organs. If
you can restore them to healthy
condition you will stop the waste,
put on new flesh and cause them to
feel better in every way. The food
they eat will be digested and appro-
priated to the needs Of the system,
and a normal appetite will appear

THE DEATH OF BLMETALLIsM

Mr.. Whitney when he returned from
Europe built all his hopes of bimetallism
on Mr.. Balfour, who, he said, was the
"brainiest statesman in England today"
and from these facts he consluded that
Gin England the movement for bimetal-
liem was very strong" Since Balfour
has lifted his heel against bimetallism
his old familiar friend, "The Nation ~
says nothing can be dome for it by any
body but the undertaken and the grave
digger.
The fact that The Statesman quotes
seemingly approvingly Mr.. BalfOurs de-
sertion of bimetallism does not mean that
The Statesman is opposed to bimetallism
We believe the double standard, as advO-
Gated by free silver men in this country
is impossible, for it means two different
yardsticks of different length, as the
double standard would give us two metals
of different value, except by fiat silver
COIN as a unit of value, but we also be-
lieve if England and other gold standard
countries united with this country, silver
could be sustained as one of the circulat-
ing coins of the world, but Mr.. Balfour's
desertion makes THAT impossible.
We are now sustaining silver and using
it ait par, and we can continue to do so
by limiting its coinage under exactly the
policy pursued by the present administra-
ton, but the moment free coinage goes
into effect at 16 10 / the present system
would go by the boards and we would
become a silver monOmetal country, all
the gold leaving us, and we would at
once be reduced TO THE condition of Mex
leo, wages going down to nothing. AS
it is we can sustain silver as a circulating
medium as subsidiary coin or limited in
to a point where we can afford
to pay all our obligations in gold, even
for the silver bullion purchased for its
limited coinage and circulation ait par
with gold. Or an other words, we are
IN favor of bimetalbism, but each coin
must be of the same debt-paying capacity |
and interchangeable i'm all the markets of
the world.

THE RIUE PENCIL.

The Cincinnati Times-Star says: "The
statement has been repeated until people
have come to believe it that the story
of Thomas Hardy, entitled Hearts In
surgent," now running i'm Harpers Month
ly, has been expurgated by the publishers
until it can be hardly recognized as a part
of the original story submitted by the au-
thor.
'nhere are many suggestions which the
charitable editor of Harper's has teft in
the story which for the good of the reader
might better have been left out. The
practical view is that the Harper's edi-
tor has mot done enough editing. There is
no question that Thomas Hardy is an able
man, a man of genius, but he has taste
as prurient as is that of the tabooed and
less capable writer known as Albert Ross.
If the Harpers are going to publish any
thing from Hardy they do the public a
service by carefully editing every Line
of it. Hardy can not he trusted i'm a
publication like Hampers, any more than
could a Boccacco or a Rabelais. Like
many brilliant men, he lacks a governor
1t is we'll for the reading pubic that he
found one in the blue pencil welded by the
HarDer's editor"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-09-05
HOW is THIS?

The Savannah News says: "The free
silver advocates ought to hold a confer
ence to decide upon the date when the de-
monetization of silver and the adoption of
the British gold standard went into
effect i'm this country. Some of them
claim that it was in 1873, when the most
atrocious Grim of the century was COM
mitted, while others fix the date at the
time when the Sherman law was repealed.
We note that the Atlanta Constitution
says there was a steady and decided in
crease in the tax values of Georgia for
20 years up to 1892, when the highest
point in values that Georgia has ever
known was reached, and that since 1892
values have slumped because of the oper-
atoms of the British gold standard.
Now, if silver was demonetized in 1873,
was not the gold standard in effect from
that time until 1892, and during which
time the tax values climbed to the high
est point Georgia has ever known"

TNMERCLFULJY REATEyN

Hot Springs, Ark, Sept. 3.-Aaron
Freeman, the son of a prominent farmer
living near this city, was taken from
his home last night by a mob and beaten
NEARLY to DEATH Freeman was ac-
cused of having assaulted Clara Mason,
half-witted white girl. Last night a
brother of the gir, accompanied by a
large number of friends, went to Free
mans home, called him out of the house,
and carried him to the woods. He was
then stripped stark naked. One of the
party then held revolver pointed at
Freeman, compelling him to stand while
the brother of the girl beat him unmer-
cifully with buggy whips. When the
brother had had sufficient revenge, other
members of the mob took turns at beat
ing the helpless young man until he
dropped to the ground unconscious.
Freeman cannot recover.

events is the convention of the American
Bar association, the eighteenth of which
is now in session at Detroit. To New YORK
ers it is made especially interesting by the
fact that its president is Mr.. James y.
Carter of this city, whose participation IN
the income tax argument before the su-
preme court brought him before the coun-
try in a most important relation. The
theme of his annual address moreover, IS
timely. He discussed the work of 40 leg
islatnres and pointed out the waste of
effort that was involved in it. His general
proposition that we have too many laws,
that they are mot enforced, and that the
people suffer as a consequence, is not like
ly to be seriously controverted. 1t is
with laws as with knowledge, according
to the definition of Josh Billings. 1t is
better, TO paraphrase that philosopher,
not to have so many laws than to have so
many laws not enforced. Perhaps BIZ
ennial legislatures might reduce the sup
ply, but There is no doubt that we are leg
iSlated for too much.

CLEVELAND LABOR TROUBLES
Imported Laborers Induced to Refrain
From Taking Strikers Places.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 3.-When the
Baackes Wire Nail works passed into the
possession of the Consolidated Wire and
Steel company and it was shut down for
repairs the 400 employees declared that
they would not return to work unless
tney were paid the prices paid by the
other wire mills of Cleveland. The com
pany, has a wage card which applies to
an OF its nine mills and the rates are lower
than those demanded by the men.
Today the company tried to get 40 mon

turned 1rl out to the number of over 200
sylvania men to the gate of the mill and
three times the strikers induced them to
turn turn back. A large squad of police was
sent to the mills and the company placed
a a. score of private detectives on guard

The Waco Tribune says: "There is
talk of q conference of editors of Demo
cratic Journals in this State favoring the
free coinage of silver. Such conference
would likely prove of benefit to the cause
and it would seem the major portion OF
the editors might arrange to get together
for a day at some central point few
weeks hence and discuss the situation.
1t is manifest that q great educational
work must he done by the press, and a
work, too, that must be carried out as
a matter of principle and duty, not tor
the money there is in it. What do, the
newspaper brethren, favoring free silver,
say to such agthering? If the sugges-
ton seems popular it will be easy to, agree
upon time and place of meeting"
so far as The Statesman has been abe
to discover, not exceeding 20 Democratic
editors in Texas are advocating the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. "A meet
ting by them, no doubt, would be in
tensely interesting. BY all means, let EN-
get together, as they need educational
work about as much as any set OF fellows
we have ever known.

SURPRISING THE WORLD.

Perhaps it is not surprising that the
World is on the blacklist of the Spanish
government. 1t has printed the news of
the Cuban war; and it viii continue to do
so. 1t has not hesitated to tell the Truth
about the evils of Spanish domination.
But if it had done 10 times more Spain
would be foolish in attempting to stop its
circulation in Cuba. Civilized people liv-
ing in the last years of the nineteenth
century know what Spanish officials have
yet to learn-that no government can sup
press the truth or hurt the circulation
of any American newspaper that tells it.

IT WAS BLOOD RED.
A Flag Presented to Chicago Socialists.
Police Prevent Their Parade.

Chicago, Sept 1.-The Chicago Socialists
had their regular presentation today, but
the presence of the police and the knowl-
edge that there was a large reserve in
all of the stations made it very tame
affair. The flag was presented to the
Socialists by a daughter of Oscar Neebe
on behalf of the wives and daughters of
the Radicals in the city. 1t is blood red
and one side bears the inscription Social
istic Labor Party of Chicago"
The police were informed that it was the
intention of the Socialists to have parade
after the presentation ceremonies and that
the flag would be carried at its head, but
the officers informed the committee that
no such parade would he permitted and
the idea was given up. The speeches were
very tame, having none of the old time
radicalism in them.
There was considerable disappointment
because Kier Hardie failed to nut in an
appearance. rs it had been announced that
he would address the assemblage.
