OF the ten Democratic State conven-
tions thus far held this year. only two
have come out against free silver. All
the Others have given the white metal
qualified or unqualified Endorsement.
This is a ratio of eight to two in favor of
free silver. What evidence is there that
in the fall elections more than two out
of every eight Democrats will be found
untainted with this free silver heresy?
Any reasoning, sound money advocate
can find little solid comfort in the past
record or present standing of Democracy
on the financial question.

a point neal to the largest amount of
property owned by American citizens,
which it was their duty to guard"
1t was these precautionary measures
that, distorted and misconstrued, fur
nished the foundation for Cleveland's
demand for the restoration of the Queen.
Not only did Minister Willis, who had
displaced Minister Stevers, loudly de-
mand the addiction of the provisional
government, but his demand at the same
ii ne was supported by the threatening
attitude of the crew of the American
warship in the harbor. 1t was a coward
ly attempt to scare by display of strength.
Says Mr.. Castle.
From elevated places in the city every
movement on board the ship was dis
tinctly visible. We knew that the men
were mustered in line fully armed and
equipped with knapsacks, and ammuni-
tion belts filled with cartridges. Every
thing was in readiness, apparently, for
landing the troops, and they appeared to
be only awaiting the word.
But the Hawaiians weren't to be
cowed. Liberty was zoo dear. The in
cident soon ended in the abandonment
of the oppressive and heartless scheme,
which had been repudiated by the Amer
lean people, who were disguised by the
display of petty jealousy, and the un-
warranted use of power in attempting to
crush newly born republic.

Gen. A. P. Stewart, the Confederate
Commander who broke the Union line

as he is nearly so years old, he is not ex-
pected to recover.
Lord Dunraven has the satisfaction
of knowing that his misfortune is in the
strict line of historical repetition. The
records show, in other words, that every
time his country has come over here to
win a triumph it has been disappointed.
The fight between Tammany and the
other branch of the Democracy and the
the split in Tammany show that the
Democratic party in New York has not
improved its position much since last
year. The Republican plurality in that
State will not be 1876, 600 in 1895, but it
will be so large that ten minutes after
the polls close there will be no doubt as
the general result.

THE PEOPLES POPULAR CLOTHIERS,

meet in Brooklyn Oct. 6, next. Mr.. Ran
som says that he is confident that the ex-
istence of the marriage will be estab-
lished in spite of the difficulties that are
in the way.
Lawyer Logan, counsel for the heirs
does not take the same view of the case.
In an interview he says:
Absolutely nothing has been adduced
in confederation of the woman's own
testimony, which is not. of course ad-
missible. Women who are secretly mar
ried usually retain the marriage certif-
Gates as protection to themselves, and do
not give them to the husbands.
None of our witnesses have been
called, but when the hearings are re-
sumed, we propose to show that Justice
Proyan was an old farmer, who always
stayed home in the evening and would
not think of performing marriage cere-
mony at midnight, and further, that he
was not friend of Pages, as the myth
cal justice is supposed to have been.
The testimony of the haCkman proves
nothing whatever. He was not even
able to identify the woman, who was
present before him. The proprietor of
the hotel will deny that the marriage
took place or could have taken place as
alleged. There are great many other
weak points.in the case, and the whole
story is prepOsterous from beginning to
end"
Since the hearing here the attorney
for Mrs Page in Vermont, j. X. Batch
elder, has secured important evidence,
which cannot but be of great value to
the cause of the plaintiff. The nature of
the evidence we are not at liberty to
give.

The Republicans of New York, in their
platform adopted at their State conven-
ton, this week, ,denounce the "Democrat-
ic party for the robbery of millions of
dollars from the hard-working farmers
of that State through free wool and the
reduction of the tariff upon agricultural
products by the Wilson tariff bill, and
demand adequate protection foI
farm products" But the Republicans,
and many Democrats too, of New Y ork,
are no more sick and tired of the imbe-
cile craftsmanship of the present Ad-
than those of every other
State in the Union.

Block at the Corner OF Main
and Commercial Streets
"A Good Thing.
IN THE COMMITTEES HAND

The affairs Of the Anaconda Business
Mems club are assuming a more tangible
shape than before in many weeks. In
fact the matters have been tangled TO a
certain extent. The subscribers to the
plan, most of them paid their Initiation
fee, but when meetings were called were
not in attendance. The work of securing
furnishings and fittings has been 60
ing by default until this week, and now
committee has taken the thing in hand
and expects within a few weeks to give
the establishment a start.
The rooms secured are in the Montana
Dressed Meat company's block, and were
planned for club purposes. The entrance
is from Commercial avenue.
The largest room Is the reception par
lor, or lounging room, and without CIV
ing dimensions, II is a room of generous
proportions. On the left hand is the bill
lard room, well lighted and Of ample
space for two tables and sideboard. The
card room and reading room front on
Main street.
The intent of the committee is to secure
only necessary furniture and equipment
at present, and as the organization pros
pers add the luxuries which may be de-
sired.
The need of such an institution Is often
felt in Anaconda, which is so frequently
visited by excursionists, tourists and men
called here by business. Anaconda friends
are hospitable by nature, but there has
always been lacking a place where Wis
itors might be entertained, except as en-
croachment was made upon the facilities
offered by the Montana hotel. The Ana
conda club for such It is called in lieu of
a better name, should be a popular and
a paying II not a profitable enterprise.
There are now about 100 members and,
others who are eligible have signified
their intention of joining as soon as the
permanence OF the club is established
The quickest way to accomplish that is
for all who think they would have use
for the club parlors or be benefited by
them to sign the roll and pay the small
fee. It's a good thing; push 1t along.

WANT TO BUY PLACERS.
An English Syndicate of Gold Bugs Makes
an Offer.

offered $4,000. The other owners are
Mcconnell Of Helena, w. b. Rogers of
Deer Lodge. County Clerk Peck of
Granite, and Messrs. Peter Clark. Ben
Davis. Charles Single and DR.. Power.
They have not decided to accept the
offer. The property consists of 1853
acres of ground on Rock creek and is
said to be good for "a to the square
yard. The company spent $1,000 this
season in preparing for working under
a hydraulic system in the spring and
have not developed the ground, but II
the opinion OF experts is correct, 1t is
worth a million. The title to IT was
three times contested in the district
courts, and Messrs. English, Rogers
and Mcconnell got their interest as at
torney fees. The Eureka company had
not placed their property on the mar
ket and the first they knew that any
one wanted II was an offer of $1,000,
which was refused. Subsequently the
syndicate raised the bid and their latest
offer is now under consideration.

POISONED BY A FLOWER.

Peculiar and Dangerous Eject of the
'Beautifui Night B coming Cersus.
From the Independent.
A singular case was that of the actor,
Mr.. Joseph Wheelock who some four or
five years ago was said to have been be-
witched by a flower. While travelling in
the West in pursuit of his profession he
suddenly developed peculiar symptoms.
He could not sleep, except by taking &C.
casional maps at irregular intervals. To-
wards midnight at the close of the per-
Torrance, though usually a calm, phleg-
matte man, he would become unusually
laxative, demonstrative and full of en-
thusiasm. He was usually a man of few
words. but on these occasions he would
grow very fluent and redundant in ex-
preston.
He would relate to his friends marvel
ously eloquent descriptions of scenes and
incidents. In diagnosing his case some
physicians said that the covering of the
actors brain was infiamed, others said
that he had in some way absorbed into
his system some deadly poison. The last
named explanation proved to be the true
one. 1t seems that two weeks previously.
while the company was passing through
Washington, ID. c.. the superintendent of
the National Botanical Gardens invited
Mr.. Wheelock to be present at the IN
folding of a night blooming cereus.
The actor accepted the invitation. At
the conclusion of the phenomenon the
superintendent invited Mr.. Wheelock to
take the flower. Taking a penknife from
his pocket. the actor cut the flower from
it's stem. In doing so he inflicted a slight
cut upon his right thumb, and in this
way he became inocluated with the juice
of the flower which is very powerful
and is distilled for use as a homeopath
medicine. The actor had also preserved
the flower in alcohol, keeping 1t near his
bed, thus inhaling the slight vapor and
emphasizing the influence of the deadly
drug. Homeopathists say that there are
one or two cases of men who have pur-
posely placed themselves under the slim
illus of this poison for it's effect upon
their brain. and while under its influence
