Under the defiance of Mr.. Black

of the Secretary savors too much
of timidity. The fight for sound
principles, for reason, for Dem
ocracy, must be made and made
before the meeting of the State con-
vention in June. The hard money
Democrats have waited for Mr..
Carlisle to speak, they have waited

in this contest, and he cannot open
the campaign too soon, nor put into
it too much ofhis fighting qualities.

FOR PRESIDENT IN 1896.

The prompt action of the Demo
Gratis Of the great city of Chicago
on the Sd inst. in pronouncing so
emphatically in favor of the free
coinage of silver at a ratio Of l6 to
| marks the beginning of q strug-
gle in American politics greater
than any other since the election
Of Lincoln to the Presidency in
1860. The commercial magnitude,
population, great business and in
dustrial interests of that city makes
the event one of national and even
international importance. 1t is q
stinging body blow given to the
financial policy of the administra-
ton at Washington. 1t is more
than that. 1t is a declaration of
war made by the masses against
the money lenders who 1T this
time dictate, and for the yast two
decades have dictated tbs admins
trations Of those highest in author
ity. 1t is cheering bugle blast
to all the friendsIof silver coinage
ON equul terms with gold. 1t is
the rallying cry to arms, and will
be responded toN by stout hearts
and patriotic souls everywhere
throughout the lanS as promptly
and earnestly as did the homo low
Ing sons of Bonny Scotland re-
spohd TO the rallying cry ct their
comrades in the days of Bruce and
Wallace.
The voice of Chicago for free
coinage makes it absolutely Ger
tain that the Illinois Democracy
on the 5th of June, in State con.
vention, will emphatically declare
for free coinage II is generally
recognized that the declaration OF
Illinois for free coinage means the
candidacy Of Adlai Il. Stevenson
for President in 1896. II is safe
to say that no man in Illinois is
dearer to the masses of that State
than Vice-President Stevenson, and
he also has a strong hold upon the
sympathies and confidence of the
common people throughout the
.entire country. He has never
sympathized with the gold-bug pol
ICY of Cleveland, and has generally
boen regarded as an anti-adminis
tration man upon financial legisla
tion and policies While occupy
ing the Vice-Presidential chair az
President of the Senate, during re
cent financial legislation, he hai
never failed in cases of tie to cas-
his vote in favor of free coinage
He has always believed that the in
terests Of the masses demand NOR,
money in circulation, and year
ago was three times elected to Con
gress from a strong republican dis
trict, being elected as greenback
Democrat. He is the man of tn
hour for the free silver Democrat
of the land, and, if nominated fo
the Presidency upon free silve
platform, the combined powers G
the gold-bugs cannot prevent hir
from sweeping the land fror
sea to sea, with the possible es
coption Of few boroughs east {
the Snsquehanna.
There are many men, who,
elected, would be true to the il
forests of The people, but anon
them all there is no truer hom'
loving American than Adlai !

IT is indeed unfortunate that the
Supreme Court of the United
States could not have come to
some definite conclusion on the in
come tax. An equally divided
court means nothing except that
the decision of one circuit Judge in
favor of the law holds good, except
as to incomes derived from rents
on real estate and from interests
on federal, state, county and mu-
nicipal bands. If another circuit
Judge should decide that the entire
law is unconstitutional, this decis-
ion, under existing conditions,
would have equal weight with that
of the other circuit judge who de-
cided to the contrary. The only
points regarding the income tax
that were finally decided are that
the Astors, Goulds Vanderbilts, ct
id omne genus, cannot be reached
by an income tax. A motion for
re-hearing IS now pending and il
granted the constitutionality ofthe
law, in all respects, may be fully
determined if Associate Justice
Jackson is able to participate OF
his successor appointed.

Reports from the Carlisle camp,
are to the effect that the camp
presents the appearance of an in
cipient boom and those interested
are encouraged to believe that
many who have been attracted
there by the reports of the vast
wealth Of the mines, have come to
stay. While Carlisle is in Grant
County New Mexico, its prosper
ity is matter Of deep concern to
tho people of Graham. Some OF
our best citizens have interests
there and if it prospers a home
market for the propucts of this
