SILVER KNIGHTS OF AMERICA.

A Chicago dispatch from Washington
OF recent date says: Another secret or
ganization has been formed in the coun.
try for political purposes. 1t is called
the order Of the Supreme Temple, Silver
Knights Of America. and its h~eadquar-
tiers are I43 New York avenue, in this
city. The name indicates the purpose OF
the society, TO advance the free coinage
Of silver. The Knights are chartered in
Virginia as a corporation.
The charter names William NJ. Stew
art Of Carson City, Nevada, as President
of the corporation, and among the other
officers and directors are the names of
two ex-members Of Congress. 1t is
claimed that the leaders of the move.
ment are prominent in all parts of the
country, and that a great number OF Rep
resentatives and Senators are included
among them. At the general office in
this city, a number Of clerks are engaged
sending out free silver literature.
1t is claimed that Temples are now be-
ing formed throughout the country, and
the Silver Knights of America already
show a very considerable organization.
II is expected by the promoters that by
the time the next campaign is actively
entered upon there will be lodges oil Sill
YER Knights in every town and hamlet o.
the United States. Access to the lodg'
rooms can only be obtained by means o.
secret passwords and signs, and discus
sions that occur there will be guarded
with the utmost secrecy.

The debate on the money question
between w. H. Harvey. author Of
"Coin's Financial School," who repre-
sents the silver and gold side Of the
discussion, and Roswell G. Horr. ed
itor of the New York Tribune, who rep
resents the single gold standard side. was
opened in Chicago last Monday. In the
opening skirmish Harvey scored several
points. The contest is to continue for
eight days iii the Tribune editor doesn't
fly the pit in the ~meantimel after which
the remarks of the two gentlemen will be
published in book form for general distri-
button. The contest will be watched
with more than usual interest. Those
who have read Mr.. Harvey's works on the
financial question are in no doubt as to
who will come out the victor at the end Of
the controversy.

FARMERS

In the State Of Washington, as in
other parts Of the country, there are
many farms m~ortgaged. Some Of the
farmers, in consequences Of the low price
Of wheat which is the principal product
Of their farms, have been unable to pay
the interest on the mortgages for the last
year or two. The Mortgage Companies
applied to the courts to have receivers
appointed for farms, which are 10 arrears.
This has aroused 8 storm OF indignation,
ss the farmers say il involves more ex-
pense and plunges them deeper in debt
They have organized for the purpose Of
resisting the receivers and serious trouble
may result. A member Of the Farmers
Federation. as the organization is called,
is quoted by the 0aksdale Review as say
ing;
"Iu free America we do not propose to
submit to evictions from our homes as
they do in ireland. We raise money to
help Irish farmers and we should, indeed,
be ~unpatriotic if we failed to fight
against unjust prosecutions in our own
land. Trouble will surely follow every
attempt to take possession Of our homes
and crops which are our only means OF liv.
ing. We had as well die fighting for
our rights as to submit to robbery and
starvation"
This is q bad state Of affairs for all in
terested. II receivers are put on encum'
bered farms ID ~impoyerishes the land
holder, who under existing conditions
cannot make more than a living, and il
the mortgage holder does not get inter
est on his investment be will foreclose
his lien and leave the farmer homeless

A Butte, Montana. dispatch Of July 7
y Pretty Sadie Lennon, who bears
the rank title Of Captain OF the Butte
Salvation Army, had an unusual ex-
perience last night while she was selling
War Cries in the lower part of the city.
In a barber shop on East Park street she
met C. w. Spencer, a noted ex-gambler,
and three-card man. When she offered
him q War Cry, he proposed that if she
could pick a king Of diamonds from three
cards be laid on the table he would buy
half dozen papers, and if she failed she
should give him a paper. The Captain
had never run up against a three.card
game before. and readily fell into the
scheme, but the elusive king could not
be found, although Spencer turned the
corners up and marked tie back of the
card for her. The marks and the turned
corners, however, shifted so much that
the Captain became b~ewildered, and
when she had lost her papers, over 200,
she began to cry, and Spencer gave back
what he had won, and sent the Captain
away smiling.

1t seems that the loan to China which
Russia has negotiated is in gold. amount
ing to about $50, 900. 900. II this gold
is transferred to the Orient II will cause
q struggle among the various countries
Of the Western world to keep their gold
reserves intact. Probably. however, it
will not be sent out Of Europe, for China
has no use for gold. It's natural course,
therefore, would be to change il into sill
YER. That in turn would affect the price
of silver and cause it to advance several
noints.

The deadly microbe has invaded every.
thing worth having since he was discov-

lively dangerous to eat the rind OF any
fruit, and that the annual death rate
would be greatly reduced il all fruit
were pared before being eaten. II is
really too bad that our forefathers didn't
know about all these things in their

rout OF the Liberal party. The ex.leader
of the House, Sir William Haroourt.
has been defeated at Derby. and if he de-
sires to remain in Parliament will have to
seek another constituency. Three other
members of Lord Rosebury's ministry
stand q fair chance Of defeat, and from

.sThe signs of the times indicate that
before the sun rises on January 1, 1900,
the great American nation will groan
