industry. During the past few months,
dozens of budding geniuses have been
producing pamphlets in refutation OF
Coins teachings, finding ready sale
for their works among the "sound
money" bureaus of the country. 1t is
a generally conceded fact among the
ssound money" advocates, that it is
highly important that Coin must be
squelched at any cost, and hence there
is market for almost every attempted
refutation that can be produced.
The price of wheat has risen IL
cents bushel within the past two
weeks. This remarkable rise is said to
have been due largely to the injuries
sustained by the grain crop from the
recent frosts. The price in Chicago
last Saturday was 79 cents bushel,
which is an advance of at least 20
cents a bushel over the lowest price
since the panic of '93. At the same
time, however, 79 cents bushel is
said to be less than wheat has ever
sold for at this time of the year for
more than 80 years, up to the late
panic.
Attorney General Haskell, of Mon
tana, was married last week to Miss
Knowles, assistant attorney general of
the State, and his late competitor
before the voters for the office. The
marriage is the happy elimination of a
political contest, famous in Montana,
and at the time well advertised
throughout the United States. Miss
Knowles was the only woman lawyer
in the State. Haskell was nominated
for attorney general by the Republi-
cans, and she received the Democratic
nomination. She pushed her cam
paign with great vigor and came out
second best only by a few votes.
Haskell made her his assistant; now
he has made her his wife. She will
not oppose him in the next campaign,
and with her name, she has, no doubt,
changed her politics.
The sound money people are evil
IDENTIFY not satisfied with the result of
the recent joint debate between w. H.
Harvey, author Of Coins Financial
School, and Professor of Political Econ
omy Laughlin, of the Chicago universi-
ty. They have challenged Mr.. Harvey
again and this time his opponent is to be
Hon. Roswell G. Horr, of New York.
Mr.. Harvey has accepted the chal-
lenge. The debate is to take place in
a private hall and is to be in the nature
of questions fired at one by the other
until neither have any more questions
to ask. Itis expected that each debater
will have ready and satisfactory
answer to all questions. The questions
and answers are to be taken down by
stenographers and the whole debate is
to be published in the newspapers.
"A special representative of the At
lanta Journal sent to Houston to re-
port the Confederate reunion, wires
that the visit of General Schofield has
developed political sensation. 1t is
stated in Houston that General Scho-
field will be candidate for president,
and that his visit, first to the military
encampment at Memphis and then his
going to the Confederate reunion at
Houston, is all in the interest of his
candidacy. Generals Wheeler and Joe
Johnson, free silver leaders in Alabama,
are said to have planned this affair.
1t is said to be a scheme to capture
the soldier vote, and to result in Gen.
eral Schofield's nomination on a free
silver ticket. All this is denied by
General Schofeld, but the talk in Hous-
ton has become so open and general,
that there appears to be much founda-
ton for the report. 1t is now believed
. that Speaker Crisp referred to General
Schofield when he referred to "West-
ern mar with a war record"
The big "sound money" conven-
ton, or rather mass meeting, called to
be held in Memphis: Tennessee, was
held last Thursday, according to pro-
gramme. There were present be.
tween 600 and 700 self-appointed dele
gates from different Southern, West
ern and Northern States. The pro-
gramme of the day called for speech
from Secretary Carlisle, and the adop-
ton of set of resolutions previously
prepared and agreed upon. Secretary
Carlisle made his speech. 1t was
quite long winded affair, and is de-
scribed by the admirers of the secre-
tary as the dearest exposition of the
financial question that has yet been
made. Free coinage men say that the
speech is merely rehash of the argu-
ments of John Sherman for the past
20 years, as is shown by reference to
the congressional records. The speech
had been carefully prepared before
hand, and was given to the press as
sociations and plate matter concerns
of the country, to be placed in type,
stereotype and sent to many news
papers in all parts of the country be-
fore it was delivered. The resolutions
adopted contained an unequivocal en-
dorsement of the policy of President
Cleveland.
- The Confederate reunion at Hous-
ton, Texas, last week, was grand
affair. There were present thousands

the States of the late Confederacy, and
