Editor Collar Chronicle:
Please allow me space in your paper to
answer an interrogatory propounded to
me by the editor of the Demands 10 his
issue Of the 18th, viz: ave would like to
know OF the gentleman, If he thinks he
can bring to life a subject after
it has been properly labeled d. d. d. for
81 years?" The inquisitive editor OF that
short-lived paper alludes to the true and
Just form of Republicanism as taught by
the crandest man of the age, Abraham
Lincoln. In reply to his query, / will say
to him, that, money, brains and princi-
pies, three ingredients not carried in
stock by the party represented by the
| Demands, will certainly accomplish that
feat. l would call the attention OF the
editor with the inquiring turn OF mind
to the fuct that there was an election
last fall, and, il the count was correct,
| the followers of the lamented Lincoln
| swept the country, and the Pops were not
| in it, Let me say further to the youth
| full editor with the mind for political re-
search, that recently there was another
election in some of the largest cities in
the Union, and, IL the count was correct,
the followers OF Lincoln Republicanism
swept the polls, and again the Pops were
conspicuously absent. II he is not aware
of these things, he either does not read,
or fails to receive his exchanges, or
is Of such great prejudice that he believes
nothing unless he sees it or gets it from
Third party sources.
| The editor of the Demands will find
out in less than two years that there are
only two grand parties in this country
one represented by Democracy aud tho
other by Republicanism. Any other par
~ that may spring up will go the way o.
the Know Nothing, Greenback, Granger
and all other mushroom organizations.
don't CLAIM that the Republican par
ty is perfect, by any means. All parties
have somthing good in them. am fre'
to admit that the party represented o.
the editor OF the Demands has fetc goo<
things in it. think, however. the oes
things in it are the few renegade Repub
licans that have been induced to JOIN
l support to the hay-seed movement.
don't know that I exactly understand
the meaning of the three IDS" allude'
to; but il properly applied to the part
to which the editor of the Demands be
longs. they would mean d-n dangerOu
Democrats. No hybrid party can win i
America. 1t must be composed OF me
soIidly for or against some great issu
q that affects mankind. No party compo'
ed Of renegade Republicans. dangerou
Democrats and deceitful negroes, can eve
y get q foothold on American soil.
Populism won't begin to do; and, mar
my prediction, after 1896 it will die nevt
II again to show it, head above ground.
y beneath this slab lies the bones"
OF the peoples greatest drones. -,
When alive. though ignorant. It was bold,
For which it died. darn its soul.
The above will be all that is left OF Il
l. once prospectively grandest party OF IL
nineteenth century.

NO ABATEMENT OF THE HOT WAVE
Remarkable for Its Length and the High
Degree of Temperature.

Washington, June 4.-The weather
bureau furnishes the following special
bulletin THE period of extremely hot
weather that has prevailed over the
eastern portion of the United States
during the past week has become re-
markable for it's length, and for the
high temperature occurring. The lat
ter in many instances exceeded any
previously recorded by the weather
bureau during the period between May
20 and June TO-"
A table is then given showing the
number of days the temperature rose
to or above 80 during the week ending
June 3, at many eastern, central, and
southern cities. The bulletin continues
In marked contrast to this record Of
extreme heat is the fact that between
May Is and Is at the greater number
Of stations in the foregoing list oc-
CURED the coolest weather on record
for the month of May; with a success
sion of heavy frosts throughout the
central and northern half of the coun-
try east of the rocky mountains.
Pittsburg, June 4.-The hot wave con-
tinues without signs of abatement. At
noon the mercury registered So in the
shade, the highest point yet touched
at that hour. There were many addi-
tional prostrations, but only one death.

United States Will Not Have to
Ask Permission.
THE RATIO Is IMMATERIAL
Frederick Coudcrt Believes This Coun
try Can Go 1t Alone Without
Iujuring Commerce.

New York. June 3.-Frederick r. Cou-
dert, the regal representative of the
French government in this country,
keeps a sharp eye on financial condi-
tons, both in this country and Europe.
He read the interview with Senator Hill
with a great deal OF interest, and also
the interview in which William c.
Whitney expressed his views of the sill
yer question. He said:
IF the nations of the world should
agree upon a uniform standard there
is no doubt in my mind that it would
be the greatest boon the world of finance
has ever received. 1t strikes me that
a ratio of 151s to l, 16 to l or 20 to 1
would be immaterial, so long as the
ratio was uniform.
1T may come to this, however, that
the United States will start out alone
in the declaration for bimetallism. I
am not a political economist, but 1
have watched the course of events with
much interest, and have read and talked
with European writer's on finance.
find that they are becoming impressed
with the fact that unless the European
nations soon reach an agreement on
the question of adopting uniform dou-
BILE standard, they will have to face the
do business on a silver basis.
''The populistic spirit which is abroad
throughout the west and south Is such
that it can not be ignored, and if the
fact becomes evident that the nations
of Europe intend to refuse any relief,
the storm will break. The result would
undoubtedly be financial revolution
and loss to the United States, but it
would be ruin to Europe. They are
beginning to realize the fact that they
can not get along without us, while we
can get along without them.
IF the worst comes to the worst, we
could build Chinese wall of silver
around our country, and the world
would be knocking at our doors. 1 tell
you, they are afraid to tempt Provi-
dence too long. They are just waking
up to this fact, and the prudence of the
financiers of England and the CONT
nent will force the conclusion that sill
yer must be recognized as a currency.
or they will be forced to recognize it,"

In the United States court of private

trial. but neither Reavis nor his attor-
neys put in an appearance. The hearing
was postponed until tomorrow The
Peralta claim covers an area Of 12,S0O,-

two counties in southwestern New Mex

GUS settlements in western New Mexico
are included within it's boundaries. Its
value is about $S5, 900, 900.
United States Attorney Reynolds de-
clares the claim a gigantic fraud, and
says he is prepared to prove it so.
James Addison Reavis, a former print
er of st. Louis, is the chief claimant,
through his wife, whom he alleges is a
great granddaughter and the only liv-
ing heir to the Baron Miguel De Peral-
ia, and easily traces her ancestry back
700 years among the real grandees of
Spain. The government attorneys

Terre Haute, Ind, June 2.-Before go

excerpts are taken
THE cruel wrong against our great
and beloved order, perpetrated by Will
liam A. Woods, United States circuit
judge, has been approved by the United
States supreme court. Our order is
still the undaunted friend of the toiling
masses, and our battle cry now, as ever,
is the emancipation of labor from deg
radating, starving and enslaving condi-
tons. We have not lost faith in the
ultimate triumph Of truth over perjury,
of justice over wrong, however exalted
may be the stations of those who perpe-
trate outrages. Brothers of the Amer
lean Railway Union, even in defeat our
rewards are grand beyond expectation.
True it is that the sons of british
force and darkness, who have drenched
the earth with blood, chuckle over their
victory They point to the blacklisted
heroes of the American Railway Union,
idle and poor, and count upon their sur
render Their hope is that our order
will disband, that persecution, poverty
and prison will do the work. In this
supreme juncture I call upon the mem
bers Of the American Railway Union to
stand by their order. In Gods own
good time we will make the despots go
to prison. where now we suffer monu-

Government Is Guarding Against the
Possibility or an Outbreak.
Washington, June 2.-Reports from
the Argentine Republic show there is
an active war party, which has all it's
prospects of war with Chill. The Ar
gentine boundary commissioners have
returned from Chilli and reported sat
isfactory progress, but the Argentine
press keeps up the talk of war, and the
report received here adds:
I'm the present critical state of feel
ing any such efforts on the part of our
press, or public men. are to be sincerely
deplored. Some street row in a border
town, some petty insult to either of the
national flags, and we would see the
experience of a quarter of century ago
repeated"
The Argentine government seems to
regard hostilities as possible, and is
taking steps of precaution. The nation
al guard is arming and drilling, and
officers have been dispatched to Europe
to purchase ornaments. A loan of $780,
100000 is being considered to meet pos

is imminent, so much so that the gov

Plata in the harbor ready for action,
and the strategic points of the town are
nightly occupied by forces.
