NaIoNal waterman, P0p.
We have yet 20 see a Populist who did
not believe IN fat money and who did no,
advocate free coinage. The same ideas
doubtless do not control every one In deal
ing with this question
We believe that fat or what is termed
scientific money can only be reached
through free coinage OF silver.
Just 50 long as silver is not on the same
terms as gold. there viii be millions O,
people firmly grounded in the belief tina,
free coinage would heal all our economic
Ills
when free coinage IS obtained and that
idea proven a fallscy. these same people
viii be among the first 20 demand ia:
money.
Acting upon this belief. We have urged
that free coinage be enacted as speedily as
possible in order that the path may bs
cleared for other reforms. The sooner this
tse accomplished. the sooner other reforms
will be made possible. Uuder present con-
ditions we do not believes that any other
reform IN the Omaha platform can be OBJ
tained until silver Is gotten out of the way.

We cannot too severely condemn the
outrages perpetrated upon Z. h. Sutton

condemn them without regard to the as

ENGLAND THE LAND-GRABBER.
Her Movements In Alaska Disclosed
by seattle Man.

The land-gra bling of the British en-
pire. which has been extended 10 the
Alaska boundary. has been ably placed
before the American reading public by
the New York Tribune, through an ar
ticle by George w. Hummer. of this city.
The article was printed in the issue of
June S, and gives a complete history of
the controversy. Mr.. Hummer touches
upon the growing trade between this city
and the north in the following paragra PHI:
Inquiry at this port Seattle revealed
the fact that over 1900 tons of freight
per month are now carried by the steam
ers that clear here alone for the Alaska
trade. distributed through the territory
now in question, while the passenger list
foots up TO fully 1,0d0 month. these be-
ing principally prospectors and families
who go 10 make homes and fortunes in
this new land"
Mr.. Hummer emphasizes the great i'm
portance Of the United States maintain
Ing the present boundary, by showing the
vast mineral wealth controlled by the
disputed territory. The harbors, the lum-
Der, the coal, the mines of gold, silver
and copper, the fishing and seal indus
tries. all are treated by Mr.. Hummer.
The article covers a column and a half
of the wide newspaper measure of the
Tribune.

The Crime of '73.

hiichltat RepuDlicdn
Senator Stewart. of Nevada, is publish
ing in the National Watchman a series of
articles telling what he knows of the
'crime of 1873" The senator has got as
far as to show that the bill was before
congress for a long time (two years and
ten months, in facD. That the discussion
over il occupies a large space in the Con-
gressional Globe. as much as ia columns,
and that the final vote in the house
showed 10 votes for the bill to Is against.
The articles play sad havoc with many of
the senator's own speeches during the
past twenty years where he affirmed with
tiresome iteration, that the Democratic
bill was rushed through congress surrepu-
tiously with scarcely any one except John
Sherman (who. by the way, voted against
the bill while Stewart voted for it, know
ing anything of its contents. Stewart is
proving himself to be miserable, petty
Jogging and prevaricating old demagogue.

the most debonnaire bearing in the

ed me somewhat of my own. He wore
a singular coat which had once been

to the color of a withered oak leaf

His shoulder straps, however, were of
golden lace, and he had bright metal
helmet upon his head with a couuettish
white plume upon one side of It's crest.
He trotted his horse up the glade, while
behind him there rode four cavaliers in
the same dress-all clean shaven, with
round comely faces, looking to me more
like monks than dragons. At a short

be the last" I began eagerly to
glance about for some chance Of es-
cape, and as i did so / saw some
thing which filled me with great aston
ishment.
/ have already told you that large
fire was burning in the center OF the
glade. What with its glare and what
with its moonlight everything was as
clear as possible. on the other side or
the glade there was single tall fir tree
which attracted my attention because
it's trunk and lower branches were dis
colored, as If a large fire had recently
been lit underneath 1t. A clump OF
bushes grew in front of 1t which
concealed the base. Well, as j
