the other day very easily convinced several
men with whom he was talk ing that it
is very easy matter to raise 5000 check
to $500. One of the men made out check
for 5000 and by four movements of the pen,
the punch seller changed their minds.
He placed at the top of the figure mark
such as you will notice at the top of the
figure 5. Then, by mark through tho
center of the capital letter I, in the writ
ten portion of the check for the amount,
he made it an f. By dotting the first

An Appalling Condition.
From the Russellville Democrat

From the Russellville Democrat
A Democrat man met with Hon. R.
B. Wilson few days ago and engaged
in conversation with him upon the all
absorbing topic of the day, the financial
problem.
AS many Of his friends are aware,
Judge Wilson has been classed with the
80 called 'sound money advocates,
not 30 much on account Of any specific
declarations Of his In favor of that side
of the controversy a. for the reason
that he has not declared himself in favor
of free coinage Of silver.
Upon the occasion referred to Judge
Wilson, among other things, said: 81
have not taken any part In the discussion
of the monetary problem, but have
been studying both sides Of the question
and now without regard to whether
free coinage is right or wrong, l am
impressed with the fact that the crisis
in our national finances is appalling
When I read in the newspapers every
few days that the syndicate has agar
come to the relief Of the treasury,
and reflect that our Federal treasury il
literally at the mercy of few men
the situation Is humiliating, and is ont
which should alarm every thinking mar
in the country. The worlds supply O
money of final redemption being undel
the control of few men makes thes,
individuals more powerful than an,
nation on earth. The situation i
startling, and demands the patriot,
consideration Of the American people.

Inclined towards JoneA-Cemmercial-A ppeal
There can be but little doubt, from
the signs Of the times, that the gold

of money, are laying plans to control
the Democratic machinery in this State.
There is hardly any question but that
Senator Jones, that grand old Demo
cratic patriot and champion of free
coinage, has been marked for slaughter,
and it will not be surprising to see little
"Cliff' brought out for that purpose.
Whenever the battle is joined to
accomplish this, there will be the
liveliest scrap this State has seen
for 10 these many years, and when
Jones gets through with it Bob Taylor 8

hair will be falling for three days after

The Auditors ONCE.
From the Little Rock Press

From the Little Rock Presa
The disclosures made yesterday of the
system Of levying tribute from subordi-
mates in the Auditor Office, published
exclusively In the DAILY Press, pro-
duced a profound sensation throughout
Little Rock. Since Mr.. Glen
McCulloch's resignation Of the chief
deputyship in that Office it has been
whispered about that the chief deputy
had been forced for several months
previous to his resignation to share his
salary with his chief, Auditor G. B.
Mills. It was not until yesterday that
these rumors assumed any definite
shape, when the truth of the matter
was cleaned and published by reporter
for the DAILY Press. The full
extent of this system of blackmail, If it
extends any further, has not been fully
developed, but the fact that one or
more Of the other employees Of the
Auditor s Office are boarding at Auditor
Mills residence, as did Deputy
McCulloch, who was charged $50 q
month therefor, bears at least the color
Of suspicion. It is apparent from these
circumstances that Auditor Mills
belongs to that large class of public
officers who believe public Office is a
private snap to be worked for all it is
worth. And with the greediness and
avariciousness of one Of that class,
after taking $50 month from Ex.
Deputy McCulloch g salary the Auditor
finally concluded, according to his own
statement, that he might as well receive
the entire 800 a month by discharging
his chief deputy and placing his
daughter in the position. As an excuse
for his conduct Auditor Mills alleges
poverty, but Mr.. Mills should bear In
mind that poverty Is honorable black
mail dishonorable. When he aspired
to the Office Of Auditor, Mr.. Mills knew
just exactly what his salary would be,
and if that was insufficient, as he now
alleges, it would have been far more
creditable to him and to the State had
he declined it, or resigned it after the
discovery rather than to have resorted
to the species of blackmail he practiced
upon Mr.. McCulloch.
But the people Of Arkansas must bear
their just burden of the blame and
censure that will come to the State as a
result Of Auditor Mills conduct. Both
In public and private the writer has
urged an increase in the salaries Of all
State officers over those paid at present.
It Is a fact we'll known that there is
hardly State officer who can live in
Little Rock and keep up the dignity Of
his office on the legitimate income Of his
position. To obviate this the State 8
servants are frequently forced to seek
subterfuges, or, as Mr.. Mills expresses
it, lit is customary with the State
officials to keep as much of the salaries
in their own families as possible. -
This system Of nepotism should be
abolished, but until the State pays its
public officers adequate salaries such
exposures as have just been made in the
Auditor Office are not to be entirely
unexpected.

Danly Chisnl's Death.

Mr.. Danly Chism. Of Palarm, half
brother of Hon. B. B. Chism, ex- secre-
tary Of state, died at Paris, at the home
of his sister, Mrs. o. c. wood, and
was buried Saturday in the family yard
at Roseville.
Mr.. Chism was well and favorably
known in this city, having resided here
in his early life, and secured his educa-
tion in our public schools. He was the
youngest son of DIR. s. H. Chism, who
represented Scott and Franklin counties
in the state senate of 1889. His
mother was sister of Maj Danly, one
of the pioneers of this country, who,
having no children of his own, adopted
his nephew and made him an heir Of a
large part of his estate. Since Maj.
Danly's death. Mr.. Chism resided on
the old Danly plantation near Palarm.
He was an extensive planter and q
wealthy and progressive citizen, who,
during an active life of about forty
years, had never aspired to public posi-
tion. Il. r. Democrat.

ernment functions to national banks. =
In closing speech. IN which be dis.
cussed at great length the standard OF
value and the respective claims Of the
two metals, the speaker said.
''The administration is against US,
and squsrely In favor of the single gold
standard, but more than two thirds OF
the gallant rank and file of the
Democracy Of these United States are
against that standard, and, mark you,
that notwithstanding all the power and
prestige that has been brought to bear,
and the money and influences that have
been at work In favor of the single gold
standard, and the crowding Of con-
ventions by Federal Office holders, not
single Democratic convention has
dared to declared in favor Of the single
gold standard.
I'm addition to all our vast volume
of business and mighty productive
energies, we produce more silver than
any other nation under the sun, and
outside Of Mexico and South and Central
America We produce more than twice
Is much silver as all other nations Of
the earth combined. Why, then,
should we expect any of them to Join In,
unless we shall take the lead, and raise
the standard and strike the first blow
ourselvess Why should we stand halt
ing and hesitating In the shadow Of
England, whose interests, in this
matter, are Numerically opposed to
oursf Her financial policy has con-
trolled us too long already. Remember,
fellow citizens, that whatever controls
the purse will In the end control the
sword.
THAT no nation can be entirely free
that permits its financial policy to be

must strike the blow.

LET us be true to the mighty spirit
Df the men who gave the bimetallic
standard to our fathers in the morning
Of our history.
tThey were as great In the councils
of state as they were in the camps of

LET us not follow after that England
whose naughty crest was laid low by
at Yorktown and by
Jackson at New Orleans.
Let us be worthy Of those grand old
men who laid 80 deep and strong the

THE PLATFORMS MEANING.
The Chairman Of the COMMITTEES
That Framed It Makes .
Statement.
From the 81. Louis Post. .Dispatch.


From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The Democratic State Convention
which met at Louisville and nominated
Gen. Hardin for governor adopted
without change the money plank
adopted by the National Democratic
Convention Of 1892, which was ~
follows:
We hold to the use of both gold and silver a.
ns % both 0 III silver
mating against either metal OF cnsrge h iIt
minta9e; but the dollar unit OF coinage oi both
metals must be ofe9u.l intrinsic ana
agreement or by such safeguards oi iegislauohs ~
as shall insure the maintenance OF the parity OF
The two metals and the he equal power tSe 81 every
ment Of debts, and we demand that al paper
currency shall be kept at par with and redeem
able In such coin.
Gen. Hardin claims that this plank
means bimetallism. The "sound
money papers and speakers are
denouncing him for placing that
Interpretation upon It.
The editor Of the Post Dispatch is in
q position to throw some light upon this
question. He was chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions at the
National Convention and was also
chairman Of the SUBJ committee that
framed the platform subsequently
ratified by the general committee and
by the convention. He participated in
all the discussions of the platform and
knows what 1t was declared to mean by
those who framed and adopted it,
The money or coinage plank was
debated for seven hours before an agree
ment was reached upon it In its present
form. Mr.. Patterson, Of Colorado, and
Senator Daniel. Of Virginia, members
of the sub committee, spoke and voted
against 1t to the end, because, as they
claimed, 1t was susceptible of being
interpreted as hostile to bimetallism and
the equal rights Of silver as o money
metal. The advocates Of the plank as
it stands, of whom Senators Villas and
Mcpherson were the leaders, denied
this and declared over and over again
that it meant genuine bimetallism and
was in accord with previous Democratic
declarations on this subject.
Had 1t advocates or any of them
announced then that 1t could or would
be interpreted to mean gold mono
metallism, it could not have been
adopted by the sub committee or the
general committee, or ratified by the
convention. II Mr.. Cleveland had
announced in his letter Of acceptance
that he interpreted 1t to mean gold
monometallism, he would not have
received 100 votes in the electoral
college.
Gen. Hardin q Interpretation Of the
plank is the one avowedly held at the
time by its trainers. The claim that it
means gold monometallism was never
heard Of until within the last six months
and was invented to meet the exigencies
of an Administration determined to
repudiate the platform and afraid to do
it openly.

THH Democratic Congressional Com
snittee does not ~ rule take any part In
strictly State campaigns, but the cam
paign IN Utah, which will send two
United States Senators and one Repre-

aiding the Utah Democrats in every way
possible. In view Of the vote at the last
territorial lection-Republican. 81 200; ;
Democrats, 1900, and Populists 500
neither party mas any reason to feel
over confident OF tne result of the pres
ent campaign. The only thing abso-
1utely certain about Utah is that its
congressional delegation will be solid
for silver, and that one of the new
senators win be Gentle and one Q
mormon. The congressional delegation
win be for silver, because it would be
impossible for either party to elect any
other, and the leaders of both parties
have agreed about the senators. Press
