BLAND ON CLEveLANO's LETTER.

The Missouri Silver Leader Criticises the
Presidents Sentiments.
LEBANON April 16--Hon. II. p. Bland
was seen at his home and interviewed re.
lativo to President Cleveland's letter.
Bland was shown the salient feature Of
the presidents letter and said, after per-
using it carefully: 'Mr. Cleveland, un-
fortunately for himself, his party and his
country from the beginning of his admin
istration, draws the line sharply between
the friends of bimetallism and gold
monometallism. In doing so he has
forced upon the country a state of affairs
that is intolerable to the masses of our
people.
Gold monometallism is a stencil to the
nostrils of the plain people. The gold
standard may do for the bondholders and
che bankers, but the sufferings of the in
dustriai masses consequent from silver
demonstration will not he endured longer
without a struggle the like of which this
country has not seen since the late civil.
war. Mr.. Cleveland must remember that
this capitalization and combination OF
the gold standard sentiment and methods
has brought disaster TO the people of all
gold standard countries and this policy l.
now running this country. 1t is this state
of things that has made his administra-
tion hateful to the masses of the Ameri-
can people
Mr.. Cleveland's insinuations that the
advocacy of silver restoration is based
on wicked and unpatriotic purposes may
do for those whose environments are such
as TO prevent them from seeing and know
ing the utter poverty AMI distress that is
prevailing among the masses OF the peo-
PIE, but those who live in the midst oi
this distress and see daily that the people
are suffering will repel with sco-n such
insinuations"

Orysnist King Tells story That Bears
Hard on the Suspect.
These facts and others led the police
authorities TO make formal charge
n.-ainst Durrant of the murder of Marion
Williams. There is another woman miss
inc-Nrs. Eta Forsyth. She has not
been seen for n week. She was member
of Emanuel church also, and the ques-
tion is now asked whether she. too, has
be,n a victim of the butcher who killed
the two girls. One thing the police can
not find So far is blood on some of Dur
rants clothing. and they believe it al
most impossible that he could have COM
,nittcd the crimes withou. some blood
having stained his clothes.
George King, organist OF the church
where the horrible crimes were both COM
m:tted, has made n statement TO Chief of
Police Crowley which tends to fix the
nup,er of Miss Lamont upon Durraut.
King says that on April (the day Miss
Lamont was missed) he went into the
church about p IN. to practice on the
organ. Il saw Durrant there, much TO
my surprise. He came down to the organ
loft in n highly excited and over heated
condition. l asked him what was the
matter and he replied that he was over
come by Gas up there in the loft He was
very weak and pale and asked me to give
him a glass OF bromoseltzer. 1 knew he
was fixing up electrical contrivances
about the church and thought nothing
strange about his going up in the loft"
This is sdirect evidence Of u most startling
nature. Miss Lamont, ii rs been ascer-
tanned left the high school about p. IN
ON the day she was last seen. April She
was seen with Durrant- The theory Is
that Durrant hsAiust finished his fiend-
ish task when seen by Organist King.

of blood under the shelf in the ladies' par
lor Of the church-where Durrant had

Said republican to us the other day,
.'rhe party that will come out in favor
of silver as the peoples money in suf-
ficient quantity to meet the demands OF
the business of the country, regardless
of the bowling OF the gold bugs, will be
the winning party next year.. This is
a confession that the republican party
will be relegated to the rear IN 1885,
Warsaw Union.
Now, Brother Tim, there is where we
are convinced you are mistaken. Let
us tell you what will be done. At the
next session of congress, the republi-
cans Will pass a bill favorable to the
free coinage of silver. Will the presi-
dent veto it? The probabilities are
that he Will. Then will the democrats
help pass it over his veto? The proba-
bilities are that they wont. What then
The republicans will go before the peo-
pie showing their record in favor of a
free coinage bill, and the people will
fall into the republican ranks. Why
Because the democratic party has, dur
ing IT'S last control of congress, failed tC
do anything that was of benefit to this
country, and brought an enormous
burden upon the people.

Bottled Oxygen for Minnrs

One of the dangers to mining seems
to be in fair way to removal, or at
least degree of modification that
will rob accidents of most of their
terror Since it has been proven that
death from suffocation is not due, as
was supposed, to the presence of car
bonic acid gas, but to the absence of
oxygen, it stands to reason that if a
supply Of oxygen can be furnished
the immediate danger is averted.
Oxygen, pressed into almost incon-
ceivably small space, is stored in
strong bottles fitted with inhalers,
tubes and regulating valves. Each
miner may carry one of these bottles,
slung at his belt, ready TO use in case
of accident. 1t has been suggested
that large casks or other suitable
vessels with compressed oxygen be
stored along the way and on various
levels of the mine ready to open in
time of need. On the same PRINCIPLES
oxygen might be forced into wells.

ored TO 81 o." him where his comments
on Mr.. Conn's article ue'' '' ia''i':
Now he says he is in favor OF bi-met-
allism, while in his previous article he
says Conn's ideas were republicanism,
and that article emphatically declared
those in favor of b-metallism 'were
against business interests and in Oppo-
sition to common sense"
lie says we did not explain why we
broke ranks with the party and hired
out to the Populists. We did not think
it necessary. 1t was not our republi-
canism at question. But still, as he
has seen fit to make personal matter
of our coming here and affiliating with
the populists, we would inform him
that we had convictions which led us to
believe in the free coinage of silver, and
as this party was in favor of it we were
honest enough to put our money In
plant and advance it. When he asserts
that we sold out our principles. he
welded the pen of a yilifier and
slanderer. Our principles are the same,
and we stand out honestly in favor of
the free coinage of silver, believing it to
be necessary for the prosperity of the
American people, and our republican,
ism to-day is as firm as ever. 1t is truly
appalling to think of the fields of car
mage he has had to ramble over to per-
petuate his republIcanism, and at the
time too, when running the republican
organ of the county was good tinan-
cial venture. But if while advocating
his great love for party, it should be
done at loss financially, we would not
be afraid to wager his republicanism
would wane in proportion.
In the same issue he says, Congress
has power to coin money, regulate the
value thereof and of foreign coin, and
to borrow money upon the credit of the
United States And yet with this
power in our hands, he says we must
wait until England says for us to move.
This is just where we disagree, and we
believe prosperity will never be marked
in this country until move is made
independent of England.
Now we particularly desire to call the
attention of the Republicans editor to
the assertion we made in regard to de
pending on England in the returning to
a double standard, and for him to keep
in mind the feeble effort he has put
forth to call us down, while we turn to
the files of the Republican, no later
than the issue of March II, and read

Twin Daughters of Man Who Fought
at the Battle Of Bennington

Up In Peterboro, n. H, pictur-
esque village IN the spur of the White
mountains, lives two sisters who are
perhaps the most remarkable Of any
twins now living. They are Elmira
and Elvira, the daughters of Abner
Fife, who was one of the General
Stark'S Green Mountain boys, and
who fought in the battle of Bcnniug-
ton when only Is years old. The
twins were born in 1911, making them
now So years of age. They have
never been separated. Each has be-
coz necessary to the existence of
the other. Their tastes are alike
and Ttheir habits id ntical. Even
in early chldhool their traits
were manifest. The marked
similarity in taste extended
even to the matter of food. each car
ing for the same dishes. When fac
tories made their appearance in the
neighborhood the twin sisters went
to work in one of them, and for sixty
years toiled side by side at mini
mum daily wage of eleven cents and
a maximum of ninety. A lifetime of
hard work had not been so remun-
Grated as to enable them to live with
out outside assistance so the sisters
decided their little plot of ground to
the county in considerat ton of being
taken care of for the remainder of
their days. Physicians are of opinion
that should one of the sisters die the
other, because of the extraordinary
bond of sympathy existing between
them, would be likely to follow soon

that the evidence was manufactured,
and that the woman is innocent Of the
crime. 1t also shows how this matter
has been brought to the attention of
Americans previous to this issue. 1t
winds up in the following language:
In the meantime the woman, an
American, the victim of hostile con

insane Judge, is dying by inches in an
