His Reason for II.

one little phase Of the controversy
stirred up by Secretary Carlisle es-
caped attention in this office: IL comes
to view in a telegram sent from Louis
Vile last week to the Chicago Times
Herald.
The fact is that Mr.. Carlisle voted
for free coinage in 1890. He wrote a
letter TO an editor in Kentucky while
he was in the senate. referring TO tho
fact that he did thus vote. Mr.. Black
burn, Mr.. Bryan and other free coinage
men who have lately been combating
Mr. Carlisle's goldbug talk. have turned
to this record. quoting 1t in proof of
Mr. Carlisle's inconsistent conduct.
1T is true that / wrote the letter. -
said Mr.. Carlisle. last Saturday, land
IL is also true that voted for the free
coinage amendment i'm 1890. Mr.. Black
burn knows very well why l did it,
what he was after was the defeat OF
the force bill then pending in the sen
ate-he thought that II he stood up foi
free coinage. Teller and other republi
cans would reciprocate by refusing e
support the republican administration
proposed force bill.
The summer of 1890 was the tim,
when. in congress. free coinage so near

willing to fasten on the country wha

the republicans of the state have but

Mckinley must have felt like worm

going on. He wanted that peerless

out of GAINESVILLE with the cordial com

was opposed to the conspicuous BOOM
ing Of Foraker for an office that Is not
to be awarded until next year.
For once. at least, Foraker got his
work in: the GAINESVILLE aggregation
was wholly his. The Firebell Foraker

senatorship doesn't amount to much

They Are Against Silver.

At GAINESVILLE. John Sherman made a
straightout goldbug declaration in the
course of his speech as temporary pre-
siding officer. The convention accepted
IL line for line and made out of his
words the long-winded money plank in
their platform.
This plank is as far removed from
what is demanded by the advocates Of
free coinage as words could put IL: Nc
Kinley can so to the goldbugs with it
and tell them that Ohio is all right
The GAINESVILLE money plank is so long
that you cannot pull through it in one
breath. 1t provides for just such hi
metallism as Sherman has been shout
ing for all these years while serving
the gold monometallists with all his
heart, soul. might. mind and strength.
Nothing better was expected of these
Ohio republicans. In their proceedings
they purposely put Sherman to the fore
as notice to the gold clique that Ohio
would not make any trouble. They
ring in the word bimetallism i'm their
platform merely to have the word
there: then they propose conditions
which. better than any other man. Mr..
Sherman knows would be impossible.
For the republicans in the race of the
coming months. Ohio's convention was
expected to set the pace. Mr.. Sher-
man knew how to do it. and the con-
vention accepted his plank.

parts intend to keep within the Ohio
party lines. Cleveland himself could

form, but no friend of free coinage

lions upon millions of money. They
told him that he must stop talking sill
YER and stop short. Cameron said he
wouldn't do anything OF the sort, and
as soon as he got a chance he made
another little speech for silver.
What happened? Why, the most
brutal talk with which a good mans
name was ever assailed followed Mr..
Cameron. In Pennsylvania the state
ment was actually printed that for a
long time Cameron had shown symp-
toms of insanity. that his conduct had
often been remarked by his intimate
friends to be queer" that he was
really unfit for public service. and
that his pursuit of the freedom
age vagary was in evidence OF
decaying brain. Mind you. this
was not the comment Of any jim
crow publications; it was the sober ex-
preston of republican newspapers OF
national fame. VIII the republicans
take up Cameron? They are all rush
ing to the front to say that they won't
stand even Mr.. Thomas Carter's mild
hammered crusading for silver.

shot, the Indians gradually lured their
victims into the main camp OF "hite
Wing and Little Bear, where they were
surrounded by an overwhelming force
and put to death with all the atrocious
cruelties the Infatuated tribe could con-
jure. Not a man escaped. So complete
was the ambush that not an Indian was

them clearly explained their mission In
the West. and it is altogether probable

have cost rivers of blool to subdue.
The Kansas histories contain nothing oil

gathered from the lips of men whose
memories have become dimmed by the

Montana Is one OF many states IN
the American union where the ooserN-
ance of Memorial day becomes more
impressive as the years multiply that
senarate us from rebellion days. The
anniversary serves hallowed purpose
IL has so wrought as to bring constant
w into fraternal relations the veterans
whom once a bloody chasm parted
Scores of monuments have heen
erected in this country to the mem
orv Of those who laid down their lives
An the war for the Union. Memorial day
has come TO be the time set apart lot
the formal dedication Of these tributes
in several parts OF the country that
impress.ve service will be performed
to-day.
But there are a number ofinnovations
announced for to-day which have es-
necial significance and which will not
fail to attract attention. In one OF the
largest cities of the country-a north
ern city that was conspicuously loyal
during the war. a monument VIII be
dedicated over the graves Of scores OF
confederate dead TO whom the end
came while they lay in federal pris-
on. In another large city where the
spirit OF loyalty TO the Union never
tagged. the survivors from the federal
and confederate ranks will unite in
scattering flowers over the graves of
those who have fallen.
More and more the spirit of complete
unity takes its hold on all the citizens
of the republic. More and more fully
the children Of those who fought bat
ties for the confederacy realize that in
the union Of all the states is a greater
blessing than could possibly have at
tended the triumph Of the cause that
lost Even among these mountains so
far removed from the scenes Of the war

A STORY OF THE WAR.
Massacre of 20 Confederate Oniccrs Il
Kansas Recalled.


Topeka, Kas., special TO the Kansas
City journal: the recent reunion of
ex-confederates in Texas adopted res
olution which calls to mind bit of the
unwritten history of Kansas. The resolu-
ton in question suggested to eN-confeder-
ates everywhere that the graves of those
who had fallen in the cause of the South
be sought out and marked with monu-
ments, after the manner of the union
dead, and over which annual ceremonies
should be held, in commcmoration of
their services.
There Is q spot in Kansas that contains
all that is mortal of 20 eX-coniederate ofil-
GERS. Their death vas tragic in the eX-
IRENE, accompanied as it was by all the
horrors and barbaritics of Indian warfare.
Early in the conflict between the North
and South confcderates were dominant in
the Indian Territory, and well-nigh sue
| ceeded in suppressing every spark of 10y
| atty among the Indians there and in Kan
sas along the southern border. Several
bands of the Usage tribe, however, re-
NAMED loyal. They were hunted out by
the rangers from Texas and the guerrllas
from Arkansas, and finally sought refuge
| within union territory. On tho march to
| the North many of them travelled on foot
/ N distance of 80 miles; a great number
| froxe TO death on the route and their
bodies, with only n shroud of snow, were
left where they fell to feed the hungry
wolves. Finally the bands, under White
| Wing and Little Bear, arrived on the
yerdieris river and established their camp
on the spot where the town of Neodesha
now stands. Indeed. "Neodesha" is an
Usage word and means meeting of the
waters" The loyalty of White Wing and
Little Bear had been accomplished largely
through the teachings of Father Shoe
maker, the venerable priest in charge of
the Usage mission. who has long since
been gathered to his fathers. Driven into
the Union by the persecution of the
Southerners, IL is not difficult to under
stand that the Osages were vindictive to
an extraordinary extent toward confeder-
ates, and lost no opportunity to wreak n
barbarous vengeance.
The confederates constantly had ennis
saries out among the western tribes seek
ing TO lead them into revolt against the
federal government. The Osaces as
sumed IL as their part of tho great conflict
TO intercept these emissaries and hold the
Indians of Kansas. Colorado and Now
Mexico loyal TO the North.
Some time in 1862 party of confederate
officers. none of whom held less rank
than that of lieutenant, were commits
stoned by the confederate government tC
