Mr.. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury,
earnestly desired that said notes be
made a legal tender for all debts, pub

rice Of the banks prevailed.
VANCE
Had it been known that Cleveland
would pursue the course he has, he
would not have carried q single State
south Of Mason and D.xon's line
The Democratic party is hopelessly
divided.
The above extracts are from his last
speech in the Senate-on the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act. I was present and heard the deliv-
cry of same. I quote from memory,
but my statements are substantially
correct. I was at that time the Wash
lngton correspondent of The Farmers
Tribune Des Moines, Iowa., and re-
ported a considerable portion of his
speech that was published in said paper.
So far as silver was concerned, we re
garded his speech, from beginning to
end, as sound PopUlis5 doctrine. l do
not recolIect that he said anything
relative to paper currency of any kind.
The following is an extract from a
letter from z B. W to J. P. Caldwell,
dated July goth, 1898:
You will, my dear sir, if you live a
few months longer, see the greater part
Of the party Democratic deliberately
walk out itsalf-leaviDg nothing behind
but a smell of birthstone and Wall
Street. (6ee ". R. Henry, in The Pro

Can it be possible that the above u
thorities, consisting Of prominent Dem
ocrats, Republicans and Wings, are all
wrong, an that Grover Cleveland, the
R~othschilds and those who coincide
with them, only are right2 Further

A GOOD SPEECH IN MOORE.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Allow me a brief space in our State
organ a few lines. I had the pleasure
Of listening to the remarks of Bro. J.
P Sossaman at Tharggartbs Mill, on
the 25th of September, 1895, and can
say | was we'll paid for my walk of IL
miles to hear his cutting remarks and
the statistics he brought forward. I
have often read that the movement of
reform and Alliance is dying. If 80, it
is like PhRaix, rising from it's own
ashes, for on that day there was e O
ganized the Sub from it's lethargy, by
calling up to action ten of it's best mem
bers, who have been tried in the cruel
bic and found staunch to the test
brought into life again by the razor
cuts of Bro. Sossaman.
Thought occurred to me at the time:
mat this land of America is called
the home of the free I wonld like
60 ask If iG is a free country when a
child is born in debt. That ia an on
lgma | cannot solve.
Now Mr.. Editor, I hope I have not
lntringed upon your time and snace
zoo much, but I am glad to say that We
still live for progress and reform

NATURES LAWS.
BRYAN TYSON.

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
All the experiences of human history
has proven that nature eve fails to
punish the violator of her laws. Why
do wise ~ legislators" OF human
laws persistently strive to break the
natural law2 What, other than Gods
law, is natural law2 D. human legis-
lators presume to claim greater wisdom
than the author of the laws that gov
ern a universe? Laws which never
fail to move in harmony with each
other, or to exercise the highest powers
of utility.
Why do cur legislators go severely
restrict the freedom of men and drive
humanity up and down legal
road until, es now, the pathway OF life
has become a dry wallow, which hui
mar laws and the social customs con
seQ1ent from them has envelOped in a
cloud of dust so dense as TO hide from
sight, and from the hope Of most men
the bright skies, the green fields, the
f0wers and sweetness Of life, and, sad
dost fact of all, lead most men to be
lieve that their wisesJ course, their
personal duty, is to give the way Of
life to the keeping Of and charge Of the
'D1stmakers."
On a warm day in the month of June,
a certain man sat on a b9nch under the
shadow of a wid~espreading maple, One
struggling branch reached far out into
the sunlight and gently swung up and
down in the breeze, with a gesture
similar to that which an r or might
make in calling attention to the beauti
full earth, the summer scene, which
surrounded the man in bis musings.
A caterpillar on it's silken thread
slowly spun it's way down from the
branch toward the ground by little
jerks, in rythm with the swing of the
gesturing boughfrom which it depend
ed. The limit Of strength, the end Of its
struggling, toll and endurance came at
last. The thread spun out to a flush,
parted from the little spinner, and the
overworked worm dropping a few feet
fell into the ioely powdered dust in
the path that leads to the garden.
The worm quickly coiled himself into
a fuzzy ball and lay perfectly still
His actions plainly indicated that if he
had thoughts they we're fears, and if
he had a heart it was given over to
despair.
Presently ard very slowly he began
to uncoil himself and to feel cautiously
about for a footing. Dust, dust, only
dust! He Stretched out to his fullest
and grasp the dUs5 with resoIu5e
hands and, with one mighty effort,
strove to get on in the world" The
dust gave way under his grasp, and
the effort resulted only in drawing the

success; then, maddened as if with

coiled himself up into a little ball, fair
y bristling with angerful spite towards
everything, and especially towards
himself.

san Fraucisco Likely to Be selected

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-That the
Repu blican National Convention OF 1896
will he held in san Francisco is assured,
Great as the surprise will be at the
probabilities of the convention going TO
the far side of the continent, leading
members of the committee familiar with
the temper of that body predict that San
Francisco is in q position TO win and
will carry of the prize. a large deega-
tion OF the leading citizens OF san Fran
cisco will be in this city 10 attend the
meeting of the National Committee De-
cember 10th, and are expected to bring

pear TO have stolen q march upon their

san Francisco will offer to carry all the
delegates TO the coast free. and will ar
range for all other visitors at the low rate
OF one cent mile. They will promise
ample hotel accom- modatlons at reduced
rates, and Will place in the hands OF the
committee Il sum Oh money sufficient TO
pay of the indebtedness left over from
the last Presidential campaign. In addl-
ton TO this. they Will, OF course, pay all

bills Of the members Of the National
Committee, and pledge themselves to
send everyone home happy. The
transcontlnental railw ays promise
TO provide special trains that will run
from New York TO San Francisco in four
days, and from Chicago in three days.
Chicago ana Pittsburg are san Fran
cisco's only rivals. Pittsburg has the ad-
vantage Of Mr.. Quay's great influence
with the committeeman and the support
of the Mckinney element, the latter on
account OF the tact that the people OF
Pittsburg arc exceedingly enthusiastic
III their advocacy OF the nomination of
the OHIO Governor. Mr. Platt is impIac-
ably opposed to both san Francisco and
Pittsburg and ls in favor OF Chicago. AS
between San Francisco and Pittsburg, he
favOrs the latter city. If San Francisco
can get the Platt influence il VIII WIN
the convention. Pittsburg is Handicapped
by admissions made by her citizens TO
tne effect that her hotel accommodations
are inadequate. SO far as can be learned,
Platt is the only influential melnber OF
the committee positive in his support of
Chicago. MIR. Clarkson has announced
his intention to vote for Chicago, ii Chi
cago has any chance, but his second
choice IS San Francisco, Il the telegraDnjc
facilities and tolls are made satisfactory
there.

In Chicago Working Up His PresIden-
tiaI Boom.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-LocaI and
State Republican leaders were much in
terested in the arrival here this morn
ing of Senator Allison, who is regarded
as one Of the foremost Presidential
possibilities He came to the Audi

interviewer, and when cOrnered said
he was too busy to talk politics or any
thing else. 1t is known that he spent
mCst of the day in the company OF
party leaders whom he could find
handy, and it is generally believed
sounded them on their Presidential
leanings. Prominent Republicans say
that the Iowa Senator is making a
strong bid for the support of Illinois in
the convention, and his visit following
close on that of eX-PreSident Harri-
son, is taken to mean that the Senator
is here to cOuntefact any Harrison
sentiment which may have been ere
ated among the party managers Of
city and State The outspoken dec
laration of Congressman Lorrimer in
favor of Harrison does not represent
the prevailing Presidential opinion of
the campaign generals here.

day in the fashionable West End of his
city was made public to-day, and as
the parties are quite prominent in So
ciety. the affair is creating a furoTe in
society. Mrs. William Gentry Shelton
and Mrs. J. T. Stewart with their hus-
bands and families, occupy a hand
some brick residence at No. 1890 West
Belle Place.
Tuesday the ladies had agreed to so
shopping togther, and as matter of
precaution Mrs. Stewart placed q purse
containing nearly 5000 in her bosom.
Mrs. Shelton lett the room to dress for
the shopping tour. A few moments
later Mrs. Stewart was startled by the
entrance of what she supposed to be q
young man about 80 years Old, whose
features were concealed by a handker-
chief, who demanded her money or her
life.
The would-be robber held a handker-
chief saturated with chlorofOrm to Mrs
Stewards face, but in the struggle
which ensued the cap Of the robber
was Knocked off, revealing an abun-
dance of hair which only belongs to a
woman The robber became alarmed
at the screams and beat q hasty retreat
Mrs. Stewart related her experience
to her friends, and made the startling
statement that her assailant was no
other than Mrs. Shelton, and that she
was dressed in her husbands clothes
The relatives of the latter woman made
strenuous efforts to suppress the story
of the escapade, and insist that Mrs
Shelton at times is so much under the
influence of morphine and cocaine as to
be irresponsible for her actions.

the California exhibit. such leave of alb
sence as he might need to allow him 10
cooperate with the authorized repre-
setatives of the State in the effort to
secure the convention.
Mr.. Mills suggested that Mr.. Filcher
might very possibly have an oppOrtu-
rity to 90 some effective missionary
work among such members of the Re
publican National Committee as he
could conveniently reach, and it was to
give him the necessary authority to
thus employ a portion of his time that
the resolution was adopted.
Several letters from Manager Filcher
were read, all of them speaking in
glowing terms of the amount of atten-
ton which the California exhibit was
receiving at Atlanta, and predicting
that substantial good to the State must
result therefrom.
Mr. Lankensheim of Los Angeles, who
has just returned from Atlanta spoke
to the same effect. He was confident
that there would be a pronounced tide
Of immigration to California in conse-
quence of the amount of attention
which the States disnIaY at Atlanta
had excited and was still exciting. He
said that the exhibit was excellently
arranged. showing off, to the very

ST LOUIS, Nov. 12-For twenty
years the leaders of two wings of the
Republican party in Missouri have

and preventing that harmony which is
essential to success. They are Joseph

blood from their weapons. and are
feSsting in friendship
When a morning paper announced
recently that Mecullaugh was a candi-

idea was secuted, but tonight it is ad-
mltted to be fact. The great editor
and party leader have made terms. and

Warner is to be Mr.. Filly'S candidate

Mr.. McCullaugh conceded an inter
view to reporter, in which he said:

the street to the office if it came to a

S20,000 in currency. and only by pure
accident missing securing another pack
age containing S35, 600 more. Beyond
the fact that both men wore crude
gunny-Sack masks and were of small
stature, Agent Krout is apparently too
scared to remember anything, and it is
doubtful if he could even identify their
voices.
Captain Dodge of the Wells-F Fargo Sc
cret service, with two detectives, ar
rived here early this morning from
Cripple Creek, but reports seeing no
suspicious characters on the trail.
There are fully dozen men at work in
various directions securing the country,
but up TO the present time their en-
deavors have not been rewarded with
anything tangible.
The express company is searching for
someone who was evidently acquainted
with the fact that a large sum of money
was to have been in transit last night
believing that the hold-up was a pre-
arranged plot. The hold-up and cir
cumStanceS connected with it were so
favorable to the robbers that it might
have been accomplished by either nov
ices or experts with equal success The

breakers he sought the express com

the hiding place of these men. whom he
then stated were planning to rob the
company. The officials here declined to
listen to him then, and now they are
eagerly seeking for Montgomery, who
has disappeared
