ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. ia special
from Gainesville, Texas says that Gov
ernor Waite and General Weaver are
in attendance on Populist meeting in
that city. In discussing the silver
question, it was suggested to Governor
Waite that great majority of the
business men of Texas were E'sound
money" men, and he then grew en-
phatic.
"Ot course they are" he said. Gail
the bankers are goldbugs, and they
control the business men. The bank
ers of Denver are such rabid sound
money men that they robbed the
people of millions of dollars. Sound
money men! Bosh! They are rob-
bers; thieves. That's what they are. -

Bioyclist Lenz's Body.
WASHINGTON, Aug 16.-The state
department has received dispatch
from Minister Terrill in Turkey stat
ing that for the past three months he
has been urging the Turkish authori-
ties to permit an investigation of the
circumstances of the death of LEM,
the bicyclist, killed by he Kurds. Mr..
Terrill says that in order to comply
with the request of Mr.. Sachtleben,
sent by Outing to investigate the case,
that he be given authority to search
the residences of the Kurds for relics
of the bicyclist and proofs of his death,
an army would be necessary. These
Kurds live in the hills and mountains
and would not permit stranger and
a foreigner to enter their houses, even
though armed with authority of the
Turkish government. Mr.. Terril1
says he expects to secure guard of
Turkish troops, which will accompany
S chtleben into the country of the
Kurds for the purpose OF recovering
the remains of LEM

the regents investigation Secretary
Dewey, on the witness stand, under
oath charged that Professor Hall, di-

some of the states most valuable
specimens to the American Science
Association in New York, for " hich he
had received $40, 1000, and had sold
about S15, 900 worth to the University

that DR.. Halls employees gave a per-
centage to the doctor from their sal
aries, and that the corps was debauched

putting to an end of these transactions
was what lead to the personal con-
troversy between himself and Pro-
fe,sor Hall, that has figured largely in
the investigation.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 16.-Alport

shot and killed Senator Peter Morris
sey May 13, of this year. Airport An
drews is the husband of Maud Lewis
and W as in her house at the time the
shots which ended the life of Morris
sey were fred Andrews confession
is in the shape of an appeal for the lib
Grafton of his wife. He claims that he
shot Morrissey because the latter was
striking the Lewis woman. Andrews
had been acting as porter in the i'm

several years, and the fact that he was
her husband did not develop until in
vestigation after the murder, and, as it
appears certain, was never known to
Morrissey during his relations with
the woman.

TRAIN WRECKED.
An Open Switch Causes q Disaster in

An Open Switch Causes q Disaster in
Arkansas.
PINE BLUFF, Ark, Aug. 16.-News
has just reached here of the wreck of
passenger train No. 4, north bound,
Cotton Belt. The wreck was caused
by an open switch at Stamps, Ark,
thirty-four miles north of Texarkana.
The engine and baggage car were
ditched. It is known Engineer Eighme
and Fireman Dean were severely in
jured, possibly fatally. From the fact
that the Pullman conductor was also
injured, it is quite likely that the en-
tire train was derailed. The switch
was doubtless left open by the switch
man on the freight train which left
going south before the passenger train
arrived.

Some Of our states and very many
cities and counties and nearly all rail-
road and manufacturing corporations
who have outstanding bonds, together
with many individuals, have borrowed
money, agreeing to pay principal and
interest in gold. All Of them who sur
vived the panic which would ensue
from drop to the silver standard)
would have to buy gold at premium to
pay their debts.
Question. Why did these states.
cities, corporations and persons agree to
pay in gold9
Answer. Because by so doing they
got money at a lower rate OF interest,
and in some cases could obtain the loan
in no other way.
Question. Would the free coinage Of
silver help those in debt?
Answer.-It is certain that the great
majority Of persons who owed debts
would be ruined because of an immedi-
ate demand Of their creditors for the
money due. A national bankrupt law
would speedily be passed. II any debtor
could hold on until values were read
justed, he would pay of his debts In
silver.
Question. classes Of persons
would be injured least and what classes
injured most2
Answer. persons Of independent
fortune owing no debts would be injured
least. The persons owing debts and per-
sons who work for wages and fixed sal
aries would be injured most. r. Weis-

General Jacob s. Coxey Of the late
army Of weary walkers was the badly
defeated Populist candidate for gov
ernor Of Ohio. His platform was
"Greenbacks and Good Roads," and
he would have been content with a
modest $500, 900, 900 Of fiat currency for
a starter, the money to be expended in
building good roads throughout the
country.
Has Statesman Coxey reflected on the
certain result of better roads? Will not
improved facilities for getting to mar
ket mean cheaper transportation? Will
that not mean cheaper farm products?
And can 1t be possible that any true
Populist favors a scheme which will
make things cheaper?
1t must be mistake What the late
general really wants to do is to tear up
all the roads now existing. This will
make things scarce and dear. Everything
will 20 up. Even the chickens will
roost high when the army OF the COM
monwealth is on the march. The idea
That Coxey wants things cheap must be

plea for free silver and greenbacks la
