If I should die tonight.
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid it in its Nesting place,
And deem that death had left it almost

And, laying snow white flowers against my

Would smooth it down with fearful tender
And fold my hands with lingering caress,
Poor hands SO empty and SO cold tonight.

My friends would cali to mind with loving
Some kindly deed the icy hands had
Some gentle word the frozen lips had said
Erfands on which the willing feet had

The nemory Of my selfshness and pride,
My- hasty words would all be put aside.
And SO should be loved and mourned to-

Even hearts estranged would turn once
Recalling other days remorsefully;
The eyes that chide me, with averted

For who would war with dumb. uncon-

Oh, my friends, I pray tonight,

Ing against the free coinage Of silvea
an volcing the sentiments of the sound
money element Of the democratic party.
About 200 friends and guests were in
attendance, and after an hours atten-
ton to the menu there occurred three
hours Of talk on finances, by Hon. Rich
ard W. Knott, of the Louisville Evening
Post, and Hon. John NJ. Palmer. Re
grets were read from ]. Sterling Nor

greeted the mention of regrets from
President Cleveland.
MIR. Knots address was on "Com-
merce and Currency" Prof. J. Law
renee Laughlin, professor of political
economy of the University of Chicago,
was next on the list. His topic was
Silver and Prices
Hon. John NJ. Palmer received a
hearty welcome as he rose to respond
to Democracy and Money" His first
utterance was reputation of today's
convention which declared for the free
coinage OF silver. els the democratic
party worth maintaining?" said Mr..
Palmer. "Can we afford to follow the
mere name when it has been seized by
men who will do a grievous public
wrong? We feel that this party cannot
bear the name of democratic. They
would try to make lis the mere tail OF

AmbOy, ILL.,, May 4.-The Democracy of
Lee county held a committee meeting
here yesterday and the following resolu-
ton was presented by Theo. Wilson and
was adopted unanimously: Believing as
we do that the financial question, so
much agitated throughout the country,
commonly known and termed the silver
question, is most satisfactorily explained
in the language OF John NJ Palmer when
he says:
THE Democratic party is anxious to
axtend the use and influence of silver as
Il money metal, and we welcome any pol
icy which will secure the coinage of
the silver dollar upon the basis of an
equal value power and acceptability
with dollar of gold, therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That any further recon-
mendation at the present time other
than the above we believe is unwise and
we deem it unwise to ask the Dem
Ocratic party of this country to obligate
itself by adopting measures at this Tina
that possibly may adjust themselves be-~
fore the campaign of 1896; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Lee county Demo-
cratic committee deem it advisable not
to call convention to send delegates to
the state convention June 5, 1895.
Shelbyville, ILL.,, May 4.-rhe Demo-
cratic County Central Committee met
here yesterday. All but two of the %
townships were represented, and after
discussion vote was TAKEN every mem
Der voting for free coinage of silver. The
township conventions to elect delegates
to the county convention will be held on
May p, while the county convention will
be called May % to select delegates to the
Springfield convention June 4.

says that Senator Jones expressed him
self as follows on the outcome of the

II think that the elections just held
dem onstrated beyond the possibility qf
any doubt whatever that the issue of 1896
will be fatty between the champions OF
gold and silver, and the question can no
long or be settled within party lines. II
the battle between the metals be not

New York will dominate the government
Of the country during the next four years

SULTAN'S DOUBLE DEALING
Officials Dismissed for Ill-Treating
Armenians Loaded with HOnOrs
and Decorations.

sadors Trihed -Murderers of

of the Armenians Con-
tinued by the
Turks.

Constantinople, Nov. 9.-The Official
Gazette announces that Bahri Pasha, who
was dismissed from his official position
in pursuance with the representations of
British Ambassador Sir Phillip Curry,
o wing to i'll treatment of the Armenians,
has been decorated with the grand corden
! of tho Osmanien order "as reward for
good seryices."
This step upon the part of the sultas is
considered to be not only distinct mark
of his approval of ill treatment of the
Armenians, but deliberate snub of
Great Britain, particularly as, in addition
to the decoration bestowed upon Bahri
Pasha, the Official Gazette published a
long list of names of Turkish officials in
Armenia decorated by the sultan for
"good services"
In fact, it seems as If the sultan was
openly defying the powers.
1t is understood that Vail of Alpho,
who is to be succeeded by Grand Vicar
Kamil, was dismissed in consequen of
representations of o.. 8. Minister Terrill
that Vail had refused to permit the U. s.
consular agent at Alpho to visit natu-
lul1ACu omClAOoh OAVAAOA AuhlOo NuCau-
jam, of Armenian origin, who had been
imprisoned for life.
Ambassador Terrill obtained permits
sion from two grand Wears for the con-
sular agent to visit Guendjiam, but Vail
persisted in his refusal to permit the
prisoner to be seen.
The American ambassador made the
strongest representations to the porte
and succeeded in obtaining the dismi ssal
of Vail.
Guendjiam is now on his way to Con-
stantinople to be tried before Ambas-
sador Terrlll.
Eleven Kurds, charged with murder of
Frank Wenz, of Pittsburg, Pa, the bicy-

State Mariscal has notified o. s. Minister
Matt. w. Ransom that Richard @. Rowe,
for whom a claim had been made for

bezzle $4,000.
Chester Rowe has taken out naturaliza-

Mexico, can not be extradited, but will
