what Eursps "a Ssr vest

Yroa tie ~ Louis Reet- -Dispaaeh.
In his Fayette speech SenaAor Vest
gave . specific and emphatic answer TO
the charge that his European trip had
converted him TO gold monometallism.
His answer, in fact, was more emphatic
than was expected. for he testified that
his European experience had strength
ened rather than weakened his devotion
to free silver and his conviction that the
United States must act Independently.
He said:
s.What saw and heard In Europe
satisfied me that all hope for bimetallism
rested with the United States. Mr..
Gladstone correctly stated the position
Of England when he declared that the
world owed that country ten billions of
dollars, and 1t must be paid in gold.
The nobility and bankers control
Europe, and whatever may be the
opinions and hopes Of the masses, their
clamors are. hushed by the tramp Of
armed men. English influence domi-
mates the capitalists Of the world, and
gold allied with government insolently
deaes the people.
Senator Vests conclusion must be
that Of every man whose mind Il open
to conviction. A trip to Europe should
be sufficient to convince the most hard
ened gold standard advocate that gold
monometallism Il inimicsl to the
interests of the plain people, and that
the hope of an international agreement.
brought about by persuasion, IL, as the
New York Post calls It, 20 viii O.. the
wisp.''
One Of the leading bankers Of New
York, ON his return from Europe. told
q friend that what he saw and heard in
Europe had converted him from gold
to bimetallism. He was
convinced that . continuation Of the
former meant commercial disaster and
misery for the people.
The United States cannot save the
people Of Europe from the oppression Of
their masters. But they can save the
people Of America from II. They can
vet good example and help the people
Of Europe.

Mas Done Herself Proud.

An Atlanta correspondent of q
Memphis paper devotes column to a
detailed description Of Arkansas
exhibit, opening with this tribute:
"The State of Arkansas has done
herself great credit in the great Cotton
States and Interstate Exposition. She
has displayed her wondrous resources to
good advantage, and the multitudes who
have looked upon the State as o wilder
ness land will now know that 1t is pro-
ductive of much that makes life worth
living. There are fruits, vegetables,
grains, woods, minerals and manu-
factured products that are not readily
excelled. It was Arkansas that carried
of 40 many premiums at the Columbian
Exposition, and she bids fair to win
new honors here. Other states may be
as fertile in resources, but few have
the push to set themselves right in the
eyes Of the world a. does this state.

BY Col. John 8. Gambler, the senior
colonel Of the Georgia Volunteers. that

Special Correspondence Of the Post Dispatch.
LITTLE ROCK, Oct. 14.-A telegram
was received from Hot Springs this
morning in which It was stated that
Corbett would arrive there TO- morrow
and 90 into training and that Fitxsim.
mons would arrive on Wednesday, and
that ON Friday or Saturday the lumber
for the construction Of the arena at
Whittington Park would also arrive
from Dallas. The dispatch further
stated that the proposed prize fight
would como OF on Oct. 81st - adver-
tised without fail.
The Post. Dispatch correspondent
called ON the governor irnmediAtely after
the receipt Of this telegram and informed
him Of its contents. II do not care to
discuss this matter any further. but I
will say, - have said before, there
shall be no prize fsght ct Hot Springs.
Il Is now . contest between those who
want the fight and the executive branch
Of the state government. and I shall
exercise al my authority to prevent the
fight, and ! have enough power to pre-
vent II. -
but you said the other day there
was no law In this State which specific
ally prohibits prize fighting In Arkan-
sas. . remarked the correspondent.
1.-THE sentiment In this State Il
against such contests. The authorities
ct Hot Springs have practically admitted
that the organisation In favor Of the fight
Is 90 strong that they will be unable to
prevent 1t and have left the matter In
my hands. l have . thorough under
standing with Sheriff Houpt, and my
are nearly all complete to
prevent the fight. was In hopes that
after writing to the principals that they
would desist from further efforts to defy
public sentiment and the state suthori-
ties.
II Il . question now who Is higher In
authority In this State, the governor or
. couple prize fighters and those who
are IN favor Of their meeting. II there
u no law to stop the fight in any other
way, except by the use Of the military
force shall use that. You may say for
me that II I do not stop that fight will
resign my ofi1ce, and let those who be.
lieve in prize fights run the state gov
ernment. But there will be NO prize
fight at Hot Spring.
II sympathixe with that town, and

Is permissible to help the people there

cannot allow any prize fights in the
State. I do not desire that there shall
be any bloodshed at Hot Springs, and
will do all in my power to prevent any,
but this fight cannot take place there,
cost what II may.
When asked what he would do II the
courts decided that there was no law
against prize fighting In Arkansas. the
governor replied:
81 don't think any court in this
State will render any decision that
would be at all favorable to the other
side Of the question. tell you the issue
has already been made. The question
Is whether the governor Of Arkansas OF
the prize fighting element shall run this
state government. l think that have
the power to render the decision. There
shall be no prize fight at Hot Springs
or anywhere else In Arkansas. -
