church.
He went into the loft above the church
and fixed the gas Jets so that they would
burn properly. So as to save himself the
trouble OF running up and down in the
loft. he turned on the gas before he went
to the loft. When he reached the loft he
leaned down over the gas Jets while fix
ing them and could not avoid inhaling
some gas. This he claims, is what made
him so sick when he left the loft and met
George King in the church.
The janitor says he asked Durrant over
month ago to fix the electric lighting
apparatus. But new burners had since
been put in and there had been no trouble
with them. He continued:
II suppose Durrant cleverly thought OF
the incident and made it up. as an ex-
cuse for his condition and the fact of his
being up in the building"
History of the Church
Since the two, tragedies in Emanuel
Baptist church have come TO light there
are. tales that two of the lots on which the
church is erected were formerly. occu-
pied by houses that were believed by per-
sons of nervous temperaments to be
haunted. However that;mayl be, and per-
sons of sound nerves are apt to be skeptlcal
i'll the matter, certain it is that two OF
the preachers who occupied pulpits there
came prominently before the public ina
sensational manner.
OF the earlier pastors of the church,
Rev. Charles Hughes committed suicide
in Oakland, cutting his throat in,,a fit of
melancholy,
Another, /. M. Kallock, shot Charles
De Young to desht and as given a. sensa-
tional trial which resulted in his &C
quittal.
When the present building was ready
for occupancy it had cost nearly twice as
much as expected, and the congregation
has ever since been struggling with debt
of $12 600. 1t will struggle no more. The
bank will take the property for the debt.
Emanuel congregation will never meet
there again. Its members are unwilling
to enter the polluted place or sit in the
shadow of the most atrocious crime ever
committed in San Francisco.
The bats will fit where the murderer
did this work, and the night birds will
be secure from molestation in the high
belfry desecrated by the blood, of Blanche
Lamont. A pail of horror and disgust
rests upon Emanuel church. -

NO COMPROMISE.

Consistency and steadfast adher-
enCe to principle is the only hope
of permanent success for the Peo-
ple's party. We need no better
illustration of this fact than is af-
forded by a comparison of the condi-
tion Of the party to-day in Kansas
and in Texas. In Kansas there has
always been a disposition, in many
counties at least, to fuse with other
parties. By this means victories, So
called have been secured by votes
that did not belong to the party.
Those victories have been merely
temporary. The same motive which
has at one time induced democrats
to vote the Populist ticket, the mo-
tive Of personal or party interest,
has induced them to vote the repub-
licsn ticket at another time. This
will always be the case as long as
this suicidal policy is pursued. In
stead Of relying upon a steady and
healthy growth to secure ultimate
permanent success we have relied too
much in many parts Of the state upon
political "dickers" with other parties
to secure a few offices. We would
have been far stronger to-day had
we pOlled only the legitimate party
vote in 1892 sven though we had
failed to elect our ticket. We would
have constantly increased our party
strength until, when we were able to
carry the state by q strictly party
vote, our success would have been
permanent. The opposite policy re-
suited in the late redemption" by
the republican party by the aid of
the same democratic votes that aided
in the election of our ticket two years
before.
How different has been the course
of Texas Populists. s.They have
steadfsstly refused all alliances and
compromises, and, year after year,
have gone down in defeat. Each
succeeding election, however, has
shown largely increased Popullst
vote. The increase has been SO rapid
and so marked of late that no power
in the state can again defeat the
party. 1t will win at the next cleo.
tion as surely as the sun will rise and
set on election day, and when it does
win it will be a clean Populist vic
tory. 1t will be q victory that will
endure. It will not be accomplished
through entangling alliances, and
the Texas democracy Will never be
able to redeem" the state by the
aid of votes of other parties which
are cast at one time with Populists
and the next time with the redeem
srs. The victory has been q little

II is characteristic of it's author. In
it he lsments the fact that the fra
ternal orders which provide life in
surance at actual cost to their mem
bers, have not been committed by
law to his tender mercy. These as
sociations are 80 well known in Kan
sas that it is scarcely necessary to ex-
plain their aims, purposes and
methods. They seek to cultivate a
spirit of fraternity in their members,
care for the sick, relieve the dis
tressed, bury the dead and protect
the surviving family against destitu-
tion by the certain payment of a guar
snteed sum of money. The legislature
rightly regarded these fraternal or
ders as lawful voluntary associations
of individuals for their own benefit,
and rightly left them to manage
their own affairs. This does not
please the great mogul now in
charge of the insurance department
OF the state. He speaks of the law
relating to them as follows:

Now If there is one thing that dis
tinguishes these associations from
the old.line insurance companies that
are so dear to the heart of his high
ness, il is the fact that they never
contest a claim. They do not receive
the dues and assessments Of their
members while they live, and after
their death appeal to the courts to
aid them in defrauding the wife and

they are entitled 10 receive. They are

than the facts relating to the silver
dollar afford. Before congress be-
gan to practice its tricks of financial
legerdemain with this metal the bull
lion in the silver dollar was worth 3
per cent. more than the bullion in
the gold dollar. After the dollar
stamp was put upon the metal, how
ever, it would not buy any more of
any product on earth than the gold
dollar. The stamp knocked out that
g per cent. from the purchasing
power Of the metal and made the
gold and the silver dollar equal in
purchasing and debt-psying power.
Did the government then maintain
the parity of the two metals by the
redemption of gold in silver dollars
or the uniform payment of coin OBJ
legations in silver? Was there then
any such discrimination against the
cheaper metal as there is today?
Did we hear any howl those days
about parity? Did the platforms of
political parties then contain any
pledges to the continued use of ''both
gold and silver as standard money,
with such restrictions and under such
provisions, to be determined by Leg
islation, as will secure the mainte-
nance of the parity of values of the
two metals, 80 that the purchasing
and debt-paying power of the, dollar,
whether of silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times equal?" Did
they then declare that "the interests
Of the producers of the country, its
farmers and its Workingmen, demand
that every dollar, paper or coin, is
sued by the government, shall be as
good as any other~ Who ever saw
any of this parity idiocy in the party
platforms or the party press when
silver was worth more than gold?
That it is the fat that makes the

that a little more than so cents worth
Of silver bullion, when it has received
the government stamp, will buy as
much of any commodity, or pay as
much debt, interest or taxes as a gold

standard gold above the price of
412l grains of standard silver and
reduces the gold dollar to a level
with the silver dollar in purchasing
