After the routine business of the
meeting was disposed Of, Congressman
McEwan was introduced, and he made
a. speech; After comphmenting Assem-
sangss he speafer 9g ha sa EoGa a work he
lighted to talk about the. principles OF
the Republican party. He asserted
that Moses when he exclaimed .s,a before ssho
showed himself to be a Republican, and
that this declaration of Republican prin-
ciples had descended to the time of
Rome, when from her seven hills she
surveyed the world He traced Republi-
can principles through Greece, and the
700 years of republcanism of Switzer-
land. and claimed that in that country y
not been for the referendum, the same
system that he and Max Salinger had
tried SO hard to make law when to-
gether in the Assembly.
EULOGIZES THE REFERENDUM.
The Congressman grew enthusiastic
over the referendum. and asserted that
the coal bill would never have been
pass i at Trenton or the sugar bill at at
Washington had the referendum been
in operation The Speaker finally got
down to the Declaration OF, the Indea,,
pendence Of this country wherein al
men are declared created free and
equal" While this was not done in the
Republican name. it was the Republican
principle.
Mr. McEwan referred to the protection
rnired and specified the protection to
American labor, and also protection to
every citizen of this country, no matter
where he may be, He referred to the
government for not giving Waller the
protection he was entitled to. The
speaker said that light and reason We're
clared that the Republican party failed
to do its duty unless every citizen OF
the State felt a benefit

MINKAKWAS' ACTION.
AT the meeting of the Minkakwa Club
of Greenville last evening Major
Armstrong who has devoted much time
to the study of the water question, made
a motion that the club request Mayor
Wanser to sign the Jersey City Water
Company contract This created a
lengthy discussion in which all the mem
bers participated. ENyAssemblyman
James S. Erwin and Mr.. P. c. Boos OPP
posed the motion on the ground that the
club had previously endorsed another
contract and that it would be more ad-
visabIe to allow the Mayor TO decide for
or against the Jersey City Company's
contract without having his opinion In
fiueneed by outside parties. This latter
course was deemed the most advisable
by the club, and consequently Major
Armstrong; motion was voted down.

The West End Citizens League held a
business meeting last night at the resi-

Major gave a reception to the association
and some invited guests. The affair was
a very pleasant one, and was not by
any means devoted entirely to man, for
the weaker sex was present and the

BIZ Gable to the United Press
LONDON, Sept 10, 1s95.-Lady Frances
Rose Cunning, who was arrested on July 20
on a charge of forgery, pleaded guilty to
day. The Court postponed her sentence
Lady Cunning who is the widow of the
Rev Sir George Henry Cunning and daugh-
ter of the Rev. William Spencer, uncle of the
present Baron Churchill, was charged with
having forged the name of her father to bills
of exchange, but it is understood that there
were other charges of similar nature pend
ing. She is connected with the family of
Earl Spencer and also with other noble
houses, but since her marriage to Sir George
H. Cunning, who was many years her SEN
ior, she has been repudiated by her family
and Stunned by most of her former friends
Her forgeries are the result of her endeayors
to live like a noblewoman upon the income
of kitchen servant.

character Lady Cunning pleaded guilty and
besought the court to be merciful. She had
suffered great wrongs, she said, and many of

Cunning was called to the bar and sentenced

Easy to FIND the Truth.

How does the Morning News know that
in the event of free coinage by the United
States our silver dollar would be worth on
ly half as much as the gold dollar? We
ask our contemporary to give the facts
In proof of its assertion.-Augusta Chron-
icle.
The Chronicle does not appear to have
kept abreast of the silver discussion or
even kept itself informed of
the position of the leaders Of
that side of the silver question
which it advocates. If the Chronicle will
name one of the silyerite leaders of real
prominence who does not think
that our silver dollar would
drop to its commercial value
in the event of the coinage of silver being
made free and unlimited by this country
alone we will gladly give again the reasons
which the Chronicle calls for. We submit,
however. that we cannot be continually re-
peating the facts the Chronicle requests. 1t
is imposing upon good nature to ask us
to do so.
The Chronicle published Mr.. Carlisle's
Covington and Memphis speeches. Why
did 1t not read them. The facts it desires
are to be found in those speeches. We ad-
wise it to read them even now. 1t is never
too late to learn. If the Chronicle had
given them the study their merit entities
them to it might not now be wallowing in
the mire of doubt and error.

Hurting the Exposition.

The opinion prevails in New York 20
some extent that the aggressive agitation
in the south in behalf OF the free coinage
Of silver is hurting the Atlanta exposition.
Afr. Gustsve II. sehwab. chairman OF the
committee having in charge the sound
money campaign Of the chamber Of COM
merce OF that city. writes as follows:
The continued agitation in favor Of the
free coinage Of silver is unquestionably
harming the prospects Of the exposition.
The statement frequently reaches US that
business men who had intended to visit
Atlanta now declare that they will not
only stay at home II the silver crusade
continues in Georgia, but that they will
induce others to do the same"
There may be something in what Mr..
schwab says. but we do not approve us
their agitation. We believe in meeting
the silverites squarely and convincing the
people that free silver coinage is against
their interests. When the people are full
ly informed as to the silver question they
will decide rightly in respect to it. That
before the sound money leaders began to
take part in the campaign the state was
regarded as Overwhelmingly in favor of
free silver coinage. The people did not
understand the question. They had been
led to believe that free silver coinage
would be a good thing not only for Ken
lucky, but for the whole country. They
had listened to many misleading state
ments made by silverite orators and read
many false conclusions in silverite organs.
1t is not strange, therefore. that a very
large proportion Of them favored free sill
yer coinage. When. however. they heard
the truth they changed their position on
the silver question, and elected a majority
of sound money delegates to the state con-
vention. And so it will be in every south
ern state. We do not believe the southern
people want unsound money and when they
fully understand what free silver coinage
means and the effect it would have on
their interests they will be found on the
side of sound money. Admitting 1t is true
that the silverites are hurting the Atlanta
exposition it is better that it should be
hurt than that the people should not make
up their minds on this silver question. We
are so confident that they will finally see
the truth that we prefer that the silverte
agitators should be allowed all the rope
they want rather than that they should
become silent for fear of hurting the expo
sition.

Defeat Of the Rosebery Mini.,rv.


The weakness OF the Rosebery govern
ment had been recognized for months.
Its defeat. therefore. caused very little sur
prise and not much regret. II 1t had not
been defeated last Friday It would have
been in the very near future It was with
out a strong directing mind and had no
clearly defined policy upon any question
that had a firm hold upon the people.
Lord ROsebery proved to be a failure as
The head Of the government. When he was
selected for that position the belief was
expressed that he would display qualities
Of craftsmanship OF a high order, and that
he would be a leader that would keep the
Liberal party in power for a long time.
His career was a short one. He is glad
doubtless to be free from the cares Of office.
recognizing that the estimate that was
placed upon him. and perhaps that he
placed upon himself, was altogether too
high. At no time while he was in office
md be create the impression that he was
equal to the place. He had able men in
his cabinet, but no really great man. no
man Of originality and force of character
such as the situation demanded. The most
popular one was Mr.. CampbeII-Banner-
man, the secretary Of state for war, and it
was on motion to reduce his salary that
the government was defeated.
1t is worthy of notice that the defeat
was not on any great measure supported
by the government nor on any constitu-
tional principle. 1t was on a matter of
simple detail regarding the reserved supply
of small arms and ammunition. II Mr..
Campbell-Bannerman had answered clear
ly and promptly the question put to him
the government might and probably would
have drifted along awhile longer, just as
1t had been drifting. Had 1t thought it
advisable to do so 1t might even have
claimed that the defeat was an accident
and secured a vote of confidence on some
other matter. But what was the use?
Many Of the liberals, its supporters, were
no longer in hearty sympathy with it.
They didn't care whether It was defeated
or not. In fact, 1t is reported that they
said as much. 1t was just as well, there
fore, to admit that the people had no
longer any use for it-that it could ac-
complish nothing. and therefore might as
well cease to exist.
Lord Salisbury will undertake, at the re-
quest Of the queen, to form new ministry
In order TO secure the necessary majority
in the House of Commons the ministry
VIII have to be joint one made up of con-
servatives and liberal unionists. That
combination might not work well, and 1t
is probable that parliament will be dis
solved soon and a new election held. In
that event the liberals will make strong
fight on new issues to be returned to
power.
