gold, and that the selection of either or
both should be governed by the special
position of each State.
eff Congress had acted upon the recon-
mendation contained in this formula and
recognized the special position OF this
country as that of a money-using country
and not money-lending country, had
promptly replaced the bimetallic standard
in our monetary system by reopenlng
our mints to the unrestricted coinage OF
both metals upon our present legal ratio,
the paper goes on to say, ''the further
divergence of these metals would have been
arrested. Silver men have labored inces-
sanity to give effect to the popular will,
but have been defeated by hostile Presi-
dent and the strategy of those who are en-
deavoring to keep the country permanently
upon a single gold standard.
1.-THE people of the United States can
adopt a monetary system for their do
mestic commerce, which constitutes at
least 95 per cent of all their exchanges,
without regard to the monetary system of
other countries.
sin view of the great Importance of this
subject we urge all our fellow-citizens to
avail themselves of every means of en-
igent judgment rather than unrefectingly
adopt the counsels of interested parties.
Fidelity to party should be supplanted by
fidelity to the public welfare. When the
people shall have intelligently investi-
gated this subject then and not till then
will it be decided as it should be decided"

is pronounced a collection of masterpieces.
The agricultural exhibit is practically COM
plete and is an excellent, interesting and
attractive display.
Ihe EXHIBITS in machinery hall are not
all in place, but many are. Fourteen of
the seventeen engines began to move when
President Cleveland touched the button.
The Midway proves to be fine exhibi-
ton. The villages are genuine people
from abroad. Detachments of Arabs and
American Indians have just arrived, COM
pleting the list. Now almost every racial
type on earth is exhibited on the grounds.
Ex-Governor Rufus B. Bullock acted as
master of ceremonies at the opening exer-
clses. President Collier received grand
ovation. Following the presidents ad-
dress, Governor Bullock then introduced
Mrs. Joseph Thompson. president of the
WOman's Board of Managers, who deliv-
cred an address. The next speaker was
Booker [. Washington, representative of
the negro race. He was introduced by
Governor Bullock and was cheered. Wash
ington was followed by George B. Brown,
a prominent citizen, who represented Gov
ernor Atkinson. The Governor, having
liver an address. He spoke of the develop
ment of the South, especially in cotton
manufacture. Next came Hon. Emory
Speer, the orator of the day, who delivered
an elaborate Grafton. Judge Speer was
followed by Hon. Porter King, Mayor of
the city of Atlanta, in cordial address of
welcome.
A great crowd of people gathered in the
machinery hall before the close of the ex-
ercises in the auditorium, waiting to see
the magic influence of the touch that came
over the wires for thousand miles to set
the machinery in motion. The big Frick
engine was in readiness, and row OF
batteries rested near the engine. Just at
5:54:20 the President touched the button,
the whistle sounded and the engine moved
off at lively gait and all the machinery
! followed suit. Almost simultaneously
hundreds of arc lamps flashed out on the
plaza and myriads of incandescent lamps
cleaned from the cornices and domes of
the Woman's building. 1t was dusk and
in the gathering darkness the shouts of the
crowd, the flash of the lights and the noise
of the booms of the Presidential salute en-
phasized the formal opening of the ex-
position.
The transportation facilities proved
equal to the occasion. There was no con-
fusion and the crowds suffered no incon-
venience. The facilities were fully ade-
quate, and there was every facility for in
gress and egress at the doors.
Tomorrow will be Georgia editors day at
the exposition. They will be received at
the auditorium and welcomed by Presi-
dent Collier.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Sept. 1S.-A
special from Key West, Fla, says: John
a. Sewers, an American and prominent
planter, for the past thirty years
living in Sagua, La Grande, passed through
this city tonight, having been ordered out
OF Cuba by Martinez Campos. On the 9th
of August Mr.. Sewers was arrested for no
cause whatever and imprisoned for ten
days, after which he was released and
given twenty-four hours to leave the
country.
Mr.. Sewers is well known in commercial
circles and his name for the last three de-
cades has been synonym for integrity
and probity. He feels very indignant
over his treatment and says the Spanish
Government has begun system of perse-

PROPPING THE RESERVE.
The Syndicate Intends to Deposit Ten
Millions in the Treasury.

Millions IN the Treasury.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 1S.-Priyate ad-
vices from New York to- day were that the
bond syndicate intends to deposit $40, ,000,-
600 gold with the sub-treasury. The con-
sequence was that the wheat market which
has been languishing for some time took a
sudden turn. A rally of 1 cent followed
the announcement. The news was wired
from New York that the associated banks
had deposited $500, 900 in gold in exchange
for small notes and that The impression
prevailed that the gold export movement
had about run its course.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept 18.-The
treasury gold reserve stood at the close of
business to-day at $95, ,7O6954, gain for
the day of 1924, 900. The slight decline in
sterling exchange and the action of the
banks in coming to the relief OF the treas
ury even in small way and the belief that
the syndicate is arranging with the
national banks of New York for a large
gold deposit encourage treasury officials
to hope that the gold reserve will not fall
much if any lower. In some quarters the
opinion is entertained that the gold ex-
port movement has practically ceased.

OPENED WITH P0MP.
An Immense Crotod Of People SatU the
WheeIs Start.


ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 18.-With the
suspicious accompaniment of military
pomp and civic dignity, leading an I'M
mense crowd of people and honored by the
presence of the dignataries of the church
and the representatives of foreign coun-
tries, the Cotton States and International
Exposition was formally opened to the
world this afternoon.
The parade was composed entirely of
military bodies and band of music headed
by the United States Fifth Infantry and
the Washington Artillery of New Orleans,
followed by several regiments of Georgia
State troops. 1t moved promptly from
the staring point at the intersection of
Broad and Marietta streets and was an
hour in traversing the distance of three
miles to the exposition grounds, reaching
there at $3.50.
The exercises at the Auditorium were
imposing and impressive. The auditor
ium, though crowded, was comparatively
cool and the acoustic properties were
almost perfect, so that the speakers could
be distinctly heard in all parts of the
building. President Collier received a
great ovation when he arose to speak, as
did Mrs. Joseph Thompson, president OF
the Woman's Board.
The speeches were all excellent and the
Grafton by Judge Emory Speer of the
United States court was profound utter
ance. The brief address by Booker T..
Washington, representing the negro race,
evoked much applause and pleased both
whites and blacks.
The exposition is much nearer compile
ton than the public had supposed. The
Government exhibit is complete and is
pronounced By experienced critics to be
the finest ever gotten together by the
United States. The fish exhibit surpasses
even the excellent one at Chicago, while
all the Government departments are
strongly represented and make fine
showing. The exhibit of fine arts is also
entirely completed. Every picture is in
its place and the building is i'll perfect
order. There is magnificent display of
sculpture, and the exhibit Of oil paintings

ALBUQUERQUE. N. NJ, Sept. 1S.-The
whole mornings session of the Irrigation
Congress was occupied with the contest
over the next meeting place. The prin-
cipa. contestants were Phoenix, Ariz., and
Lincoln, Nebr. Able and earnest adj
dresses were made by the champions of
both places and the particular claims and
advantages of each were forcibly presented
by their respective partisans, and the dele
gates were sorry they could not vote for
both. Phoenix was finally selected as the
next meeting place.
The only business transacted this after
noon of general interest was the election
of chairman and secretary of the National
executive committee. Z. r. Moses OF
Great Bend, Kans., was elected chairman,
and c. NJ. Heintz of Los Angeles, secre-
tary.

IRRIGATION LAW Null.
Nebraska Farmers DiscOInfted by
Supreme Court Decision.


Supreme Court Decision.
LINCOLN, NEBR., Sept. 18.-Irrigation
in Nebraska received what it Is feared will
be its deathblow in q decision rendered by
the Supreme Court to-day, which declares
the law passed by the last Legislature, as
well as enactments at the sessions of 1891
and 1893, unconstitutional.
The opinion declares that the waters of
any river or stream in the State are not to
be used by irrigation companies when
single objection by mill-owner or any
individual affected is made. State Senator
Alters, the author of the law, was much
discounted over the decision, and said
this evening that the irrigation organiza-
and prime mover, might lust as well 20
out of business. Many thousands of dol
lars have already been expended in the
enterprise in different parts OF the State.
