| leaders, by its record and by the press be-
hind it, to the gold standard, sup
ported by gold bonds and to
the retirement of the greenbacks
and the surrender of the issue and the
control of paper currency to the banks.
No less persistent and effective is the con-
troll of the money power over the orgrniz-
alton of the democratic party. While un-
doubtedly n large IN jorlty of the MEM
bers of that party are opposed to the gold
standard, they have been powerless
to control that party's organiza-
ton against il and much less to
secure through il the restoration of the
bimetallic standard. While this is the
case, 1t cannot be expected that the re-
publlcans will abandon the convictions of
a lifetime on other questions and co into
the democratic party in a body, or
into a wing of that party. Nor
will the democrats give up the
convictions they believe to be es-
sential IN the government and go
over to the republican party or a division
of that party. Nor is it possible TO induce
the republicans and democrats together to
go into the populist party for the reason,
If for no other, that the platform OF that
party contains declarations and the party
advocates theories to which they cannot
give their assent. But we must in some
way come together on this issue, or the
cause is lost. and with it the independence
of the people. No old party ever carried
through greater reform. New
bottles for new wine. Therefore
no course seems mere possible than
that TO subordi for the time being,
other questions and come II the front in
a new organization to ii ght the battle of
1896 on the one issue on which the pros
perity and happiness of the people so
largely depend. 1t is believed that this
cause can be won in no other way, and
that to continue TO contend for it only
within the lines of the existing parties IS
TO court defeat at the outset and lose the
battle in the election.
The address continues at great length
and earnestly appeals to the advocates of
silver to stand together. 1t is sgned by
the following:

Shocking Accident at the Town OF An
der-on, Ind.
ANDERSON, Ind, March 5.-The most
destructive natural gas explosion in the
history of the Indiana gas belt occurred
this morning. A $1,000 business block
on Court House square was blown all
over the central part of the city. In
the building were the When clothing
store, Prather's shoe store. Handles drug
store. business offices and a hall on the
upper floor. Ere followed the explosion,
which was like an earthquake, and the
remains of the debris began burning
flercely. The entire fire department was
called out and prevented the fire reaching
the new court house.
Attorney Ballard and County Commits
sioner Metcalf lived in rooms above the
When store, and it is feared they per-
ished.
The loss on the building and contents
will reach 100000. The fronts of all the
business houses in the nelghborhood of
the explosion were demolished, paved
streets ripped open and telephone cables
torn down.
In addition TO tho demolition of tho
Terhume block, the explosion did much
damage to the court house and other
buildings struck by missiles. The fire
had little to work on. The contents of the
stores are scattered everywhere. and not
so much as a respectable line of samples
could be secured from the ruins. The
building and contents were covered by an
insurance of moro than $4,000.

The indications are that Thos. B.

recent course on the currency question
has weakened him for the speakership

took nd is also censured by men in the
upper bra nch who have. to some extent

course Reed will be the gavel-wielder
in the next house. To show however,
that he is not the unanimous choice, it
is proposed by coterie of membees to
push forward Representative Hopkins,

Hopkins friends say a neat boom for
him is under way. and that while they
do not anticipate that he will defeat

CORRUPT POLITICS.

Enthusiastically the trend of practical
politics is toward purer methods. The
public has demanded the elimination of
the most glaring outrages upon the
the elective franchise, and the Australian
system, under its various notifications
has found its way upon the statute
books of most OF the states. Imperfect
as it is it has accomplished one most
important Improvement upon old meth
ods-a secret ballot, and that has very
largely decreased corruption in politics.
The Incentive to purchase votes for val
liable consideration is greatly reduced
when the purchaser must rely upon the
honor of the seller tor performance of
the contract, for in the iery nature of
things, man who will barter way his
vote is not the man to be trusted very
implicitly in fulfilling promises OF that
character.
The legislature of this state has been
considering bill Furnishing the corrupt
use of money in elections, known as the
corrupt practices act. and while the en-
tire legislature agrees that a very strin-
gent measure is necessary-one which
shall compel every candidate to hle a
sworn statement of money however ex
pended for election purposes, and fixing
severe penalties for using money illegiti-
malelv in influencing votes. The bill
was recently before the Senate, and it
was deluged with proposed amendments,
and sent back to the committee for fur
Their consideration. One feature was
strongly advocated-that it apply only
to cities of 900 or more. This is a
grave mistake. 1t is needed quite as
much in the rural districts as in the ur-
ban. The amount of m oney expended
In Stearns county during the late cam
paign for influencing votes would reach
an appalling figure, and an itemized
statement of it would be an argun1en tum
ad hominem which would prove
clincher.
