LETTING OUT THE CAT.
The Main Object Is to Curry British
Favor.

The Main Object Is to Curry British
Favor.
The practice of letting the cat out
of the bag is one more honored in the
breach than in the observance. For
all that, 1t is almost an involuntary
process A subsidized Wall street or.
gan printed this sentence last week:
"The victory in Ohio of the sound
money men will do more to reassure
nervous people than anything. Eng
land is awaking to the fact that the
United States are on sound money
basis, and once again there is a good
inquiry, not only for United States
government bonds, but likewise for our
railroad securities"
1t seems then, that our state CAM
paigns this year are being carried on
with wary eye to Lombard street and
the Rothschilds. The fact that there
is a good demand for our railroad Sc
curities is a good thing for the rail-
roads, and since that demand depends
entirely upon our thralldom in gold
monometallism, the railroad power is
all against silver. AS further proof
of this consider last weeks announce
ment of the Monetary Trust:
1T may be the skeptical British mind
will realize that silver lunacy in the
United States has lost it's lustre. and
that this country, after all, is the best
place for British money. 1t may be the
large professional operators of London,
who are now relatively rich from gold
speculation, will conclude to cover their
short sales and save part of their
money"
Here is Wall streets official utter
ance upon the ethics and economics of
the monetary question. There are
many ways of letting the cat out of the
bag, and Wall street appears to be
master of them all.-Twentieth Gen.

ARE WE FISHWORMS7
What Has Become of Our National
Backbone?

WhaC mas become or OUR national
Backbone?
There can be no doubt about it that
If the United States were to adopt a
silver basis tomorrow British trade
would be ruined before the year Is out.
Every American industry would be pro-
tected, not only at home but in every
other market. OF course the states
would suffer to a certain extent through
having to pay their obligations abroad
in gold, but the loss in exchange under
this head would be a mere drop in the
bucket compared with the profits to be
reaped from the markets of South
America and Asia, to say nothing of
States has not long ago seized the op
portunity; but for the necessity in the
way of commercial success and pros
perity, undoubtedly it would have been
done long ago.
The above is from the London Finan-
cial News, one of the highest financial
authorities in the world.
Does it not seem strange-remark-
ably strange-that in the light of these
frequent admissions on the part of Brit
ish journals and statesmen as to the
advantages that accrue to Great Britain
by reason of our financial policy, saying
nothing Of the object lessons constant
ly presented to us here at home, that
we will go on year after year on lines
Of policy that are so injurious to our
own interests and of such great ad-
vantage to our English neighbors?
Why will not the American people
arise? Have we become a nation of
chumps? Has craftsmanship in this
country gone to seed? Are patriotism
and national pride dying out? Have
we none of the spirit that animated our
forefathers? What has become of our
| national backbone?
English craftsmanship and the vor-
acious greed of her financiers has, after
third Of century of intrigue and
cunning designs, succeeded, through
the most damnable conspiracy ever
sprung upon a free people, in reducing
the American republic to what is prac-
tically British dependency-by arti-
flee and cunning scheming have our
people been reduced to a condition in
l. . finitely worse than that against which
our forefathers rebelled-accomplis
through intrigues with our modern
Benedict Arnolds what she failed to ac-
complish by force of arms on two sew
eral occasions, bringing us PROSTATE at
| the feet of British greed and avarice.
How much longer will our patience
endure? When will the American peo-
pie arouse and shake off this accursed
yoke of oppression? Oh, for men
strong men, men of hearts, of courage
who dare to think and to act, and who
are not given over wholly to the god
of mammon.
| May the God of nations arouse our
people to a sense of the wrongs infiict-
ed upon them, Of a sense of the degra-
dation to which we are descending by
reason of the poverty and distress
of the masses, and prompt them
to exercise an intelligent use of the
power of the ballot placed in their
hands, that greater dangers may be

A PATRIoT RESIGNS.
Considers the Militia q Constant Menace
to Peace.

A few days ago Colonel Edgar How
ard, of the Nebraska state militia.
handed Governor Holcomb his resig-
nation, and said: 81 am opposed to the
state militia, root and branch. I re-
gard it as constant menace rather
than an aid to the public peace. The
state soldiery throughout the Union
has been organized always at the be-
hest. and often at the dictation, of cor
porate capital, which asks that the
state plunge its bayonets into the
breast Of organized labor in order to
enforce compliance with organized
capitals demands" Here is an ac-
knowledgment from a military man
that is truly significant, and substan-
tiates the charges of labor papers and
agitators. There is no question but
that it is dawning upon conscientious
militiamen that they are being made
tools of to overawe and browbeat nat
urally peaceful citizens in the interest
of selfish class. Governor Holcomb.

sation. declared that he respected such
sentiments. Populists, as a rule. have

they can command the respect of all
nations. We will show the people a
policy that is American in every fibre"
Frye, of Maine, at republican banquet
given at Bridgeport, Conn.
Shades Of the departed! Only give
'em chance! Only want a single dec
ade now! What nerve the senator has,
and he had it with him at that banquet!
This may be styled the sublimate of
gall-armor-plated cheek, minus blow
holes!
Only been out of power a little more
than two years when they tad had
thirty years of rule, during which time
the republicans came as near sending
the country to the devil as it was pos
sible for them to do, and since the dem
ocrats took hold the republicans have
aided them in every species of vicious
legislation suggested.
During the thirty years of republican
control the curse of monopolistic rule
was fastened upon the country. Trusts
and combines have grown up and -four
ished as never before in the history
of any nation; class legislation has
been the rule. and so deeply is plutoc-
racy entrenched that even conservative
men are free to predict revolution as
means of freeing the people.
The causes that have brought the
country to where it is today-chief Of
which is the present financial policy
originated with the republican party,
which was aided and abetted by the
democratic party.
The present democratic administra-
ton has not deviated one iota from
the policy of it's republican predeces-
sors, and yet we are now told that if
the republicans are given another
chance they will bring prospeity to the
| county.
Why didn't they do it when they had
chance Of thirty years duration
Senator Frye asks for decade-only
wants ten years to undo what it took
| thirty years to build up. That's too
long. Give the populists control of this
government and they will cleanse the
Augean stables in less than one year.
and bring relief to the people inside of
sixty days after congress convenes.
The republican party and the dem
ocatic party have both been weighed
| in the balance and found wanting.
Democracy is dead and republicanism
will soon follow. There will be no
more chances for either one of these
old parties, as the people are too thor
oughly aroused to place any confidence
in them Their records of venality and
hypocrisy are so black and damnable
that they cannot longer deceive the
people.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS.
Events of the Week Were Promising In
Their Nature.

Their Nature.
NEW YORK, Oct. le.-Dun's review
says: Failures for October thus far
cover liabilities of So. 925, ,599, of which
81, $50, 265 were of manufacturing, and
81, 1s5, ,534 of trading concerns. Fail
ures for the week have been 263 in the
United States against 253 last year.
and 46 in Canada against 45 last year.
The events of the week are prornis-
ing in nature, though the speculative
markets are not entirely encouraging.
The great advance in cotton so de-
ranged exports that shipments of gold
were for time apprehended, but the
break in the market indicates that the
natural movement of the product may
soon be restored. The hating of de-
mand and moderate yielding of prices
in the great industrial market shows
that season of reasonable attention
to natural conditions has arrived, and
gives hope that the future demand
will be more nearly proportioned to
actual consumption. The week has
brought a little further decline in iron
and steel products, in hides and
leather, and a more yielding tone in
boots and shoes

HE EMBEZZLED $4,000
FORT SCOTT STATE BANK
CLEANED OUT.
Cashier Colean Took Everything In Sight
to Blow in ON the Stock AIarket-Has
Made Full Confession to the Bank

FORT SCOTT, Kan, Oct. 1S.-The ag-
gregate of the embezzlement from the
closed State bank of this city of ex-
Cashier ]. r. Coiean is declared by
Vice President j. S. Stewart to be
fully $4,000. This has renewed the
excitement and shattered the hopes of
many of the depositors and all of the
stockholders. The amount stolen is
two-thirds of the paid up capital stock
and more than the other third will be
required to collect on the securities.
Colean literally robbed the bank of
all the cash except $1,000 of the re-
serve fund and realized on $50, 900 of
the best securities by rediscounting
them.
The recreant cashier has made a
statement to Vice President Stewart,
telling from which accounts he took
the money and says that most of it
was taken since he made his last
statement in July. He confessed hav-
ing robbed the following accounts:
Kansas City banks (cash) $500; st.
Louis banks (cash) $4,2OO; New York
banks (cash) $4,000; reserve fund, So
600; deposits on certificates (cash) S3,-
400, rediscounted notes $11, ZOO.
The examination has resulted in the
development that Colean, in his con-
fession, did not tell all ,as $50. 900 of the
best notes cannot be found and some
of them are known to have been redis-
counted in St. Louis.
The bank officers still promise pay
ment in full to all depositors, but it is
admitted that the stock is literally
wiped out. The fact that the robbery
was Systematically perpetrated under
the very eyes of the officers and that
the defalcation so far exceeds the sum
first announced has created conster

The Venezuela Question Will Have to
Be Settled Soon.
New YORK, Oct. l9.-That the Ven
ezuelan question is approaching an
accute stage, with possibilities of re-
sistance by the South American gov
ernment to British aggression, was
signifed by disclosures made in
New York yesterday on the best au-
thority. The government of Ven
ezuela has provided itself with
modern armament, and, among
other supplies, has ordered ten inn
proved Maxim guns from the British
firm which manufactures them. The
order was not placed through
any firm and the English house,
it is supposed, does not know the
destination of the goods. At the same
time the syndicate of United States
capitalists which has secured conces-
sions on the Venezuelan gold lands
claimed by Great Britain is preparing
to send large force of prospectors,
miners and workmen into the field.
