INGERSoLL'S THANKSGIVING.

Beyond comparison the most unique OBJ
seryance of the national Thanksgiving
festival win be that performance OF three
thousand Christian Endeavorers at Cieve-
land. Ohio, who announce that they will
send upward q fervcnt and united prayer
for the conversion OF Col. Ingersoli, the
greatest infidel on earth, announcement
Of which event is made in n telegram to
The Times this evening.
Years ago discussion between agHOaic
and orthodox factions led 10 challenge
to a prayer test. and history declares that
prayer was engaged in with the view to
try its efficacy. The results have been
lost.
About the test which the Enieavorers
make there can be no mistake. The humor-
GUS and cynical colonel will either pursue
his lively lecture career which Is at once
amusing and lucrative, or he win abandon
his scoffing and join the Endeavorers or
tue Salvation Army.
1t is wonderful Thanksgiving expert
ment, the result of which win be awaited
with profound interest, but one cannot
avoid a wish that the Endeavorers had
chosen something easier.

daily compliment. but its "woman's' spe-

contained in the English Vocabulary. 1t
is a splendid contribution, not only to
sweet charity, but to literature, and jour
nalism. The Times is peculiarly equipped
for the office of critic in this connection,
as Its own 'wnmans' edition, issued a few
months ago, in the interest of the Home for
Incarables, gained 4 national and lasting

900 years ago, although, OF course, no one
knows.
The iBdians say the present city OF
Ciiapala is also being swallow wed up by
the lake; and that in the course of years
1t will be entirely Submerged. 1t Is tie
custom in Mexico to build the church or
cattissirai in the center Of the town. In
the case OF the present town OF Chapaia
the church Is at the edge of the town and
standing on the shore OF the lake. The
Indians say tue remainder of the town has
been swallowed up by the water
Ibid you notice any ruins Of the town
looking from the church toward the lake
which would indicate that any portion of
the place had been swailo wed up?''

A Fool Remark of The Democrasie. spike

A Fool Remark Of The Demeerasie. spike
tail Secretary of Agriculture.
Atlanta constitutional
1t has been said of j. Sterling
Morton, the agricultural secretary,
that he has spiketail mind, but il
seems to be just as broad as the
minds of any of the ignorant or sub
sidized gang that is advocating low
prices and hard times under the
specious Cry of Sound" money.
The latest utterance of Morton on
the money question is at par with all
the statements that emanate from
the selfish class which has subsidized
newspapers end so-called statesmen.
Morton says:
When the silver miner and bullion
owner shall have established by legis-
lation government gristmills. which
shall convert every fifty cents worth
OF farmers wheat into q dollar OF -four.
il will be time enough for the farmers
10 advocate laws which shall convert
every fifty cents worth OF silver bull
lion into dollar of coin.
Here is ignorance of a kind that
may be classed as vulgar. When
the mints Of the United States are
open to the unlimited coinage of
silver the dollars worth of silver
will be the amount of silver in a dol
lar-the amount that has been q
dollars worth whenever placed in a
dollar since the foundation of the
government When this Is done the
purchasing power Of the dollar, at
the very lowest, will be not less than
the pu' chasing power of the gold in
a gold dollar in 1873, when gold
was at premium over the paper dol
lar.
1t is uncomfortable that the people
will permit subsidized ignoramuses
of the caliber of Morton to deceive
them in regard to this money ques-
ton. What Shylock calls sound"
money is the money that is so scarce
and dear that the peoples property
and the products of their labor are
deprecated in contrast with it. 1T
is the money that is so scarce that
the people have to give constantly
Increasing quantities of their labor
and the products of their labor IN
order TO secure given amount of it
to pay their debts.
There Is no reason, either, whv
the people should be deceived by the
attitude of what is vaguely called
the Cuisines interests 1t is we'll
known that the business interests
have been placed in such condition
ny the fall in prices and the cutting
down of legitimate profits, that thew
will gladly do the bidding of the
banks IN regard to the money ques-
ton In order to secure further &C.
commodations.
There has never been a time in
the history of the country when the
money power could not control the
organizations and associations which
flourish under the name of the
''business interests" but which are
really the merest fraction of the
business interests. This class was
rampantly in favor of the United
States bank in Jackson's day, and in
5eorgla it was just as friendly on |
,he side of the banks when Cover
1or Joseph 3. Brown brought these
institutions to time in the matter of
me resumption of specie payments
n 1857-58.
But If the people want to win in
his contest-as they won in the 9TH
will have to take an active
nd an aggressive interest in the
question.

Flashes From The SearchIipht.

When this country demonetizei
SILVER, it was done without asking
any international consent or consul
tation. Why should we ask such
Cooperation to remonetize it? What
we did independently, can't we undo
independently?
We had free coinage of silver y =
to 1878. Did anyone hear of its
driving all the gold out of the coun-
try? If it did not do so then, why
would it now?
Cleveland is the only man who
made fortune while President. He
went in poor but is now worth mil
lions. Where did he get it? And
how did he get it?
The merchant who thinks he can
90 business when the people have no
money to buy with, is off. And
when he wakes up under the pres
sure he will stir up the plutocratic
menagerle with a sharp stick. The
small merchants are beginning to feel
that they have no part in the usurer's
banquet.
Yes, | do see; they tax the DOOR
mans every rag, but exempt a rich
mans bond. They have arranged
the laws SO rich banker, who don't
need it, can get millions of dollars

devil like US can't get cent. They
tax money out of the 5O-cent wheat
raiser, who is going to the wall as
fast as compound interest can carrv
him, to pay the rich English cane
sugar raisers of Louisiana and to the
millionaire alien German beet sugar |

why Tho Peoples Party Remains in Tn,
Middle Of Road.
Kentucky Courier.I
Judge Stanley cannot see why tn,
Populists ought not to join with tn,
free silver Democrats and aid then
in controlling the Democratic con
ventiOn.
In answer to the following ques
tlons the Judge will discover why
the Popullsts insist on a separate
organization:
Why did the Protestants with
draw from the old church organi-
zation?
Why did not orr revolutionary
fathers remain subjects of the Brit
ish government? They might have
reformed it.
Why do not silver Democrats 20
into the Republican party's organ
lzation and control its action?
The Peoples party has the largest
free silver organization in the Unit
ed States; no doubt about that.
There is not a gold bug in our ranks,
and we hope there never will be one.
Our press is a. unit upon the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
Judge Stanley asks:
Suppose you were going to walk
ten miles in the country to assist a
friend or accomplish some good
purpose, and you met Democratic
friend driving along with his bug
gy, and he offered you ride, saying
ne was going five miles in your d.
rection and would give you a ride
that far, would you refuse?"
Now, what we would do in that
event depends. If we were over
taken in the manner indicated, and
should get in with the Democratic
brother to ride, and he should turn
his buggy and drive rapidly in the
opposite direction to which he had
said he would drive, the likelihood
is that We would decline to get in
with him the next time. Many sill |
yer men got into the Democratic
buggy in 1892 under the impression
that they would be driven to the
land of free coinage, but the DIS
lance between them and their goal
has steadily grown instead of d.
nlnlshing since that time, and will
continue to DO 80, according to our
opinion, until they Jump out of the
7ehlcle. The Populist boat has tits
'angplank out, and will give
hearty welcome to all Democrats or
republicans who are opposed to gold
monopoly.
