CHICAGO, April 15.-Hon. John c.
Carlisle spoke on the currency guess
ton at the Auditorium tonight, before
an audience that filled the great hall
to the utmost.
The address was delivered under the
auspices of the Iaboring men of Chi
cago, and they were there in full force.
nearly three-quarters of the crowd be-
ing workingmen.
Many local Democrats were anxious
to obtain an interview with Mr.. Carl
isle on the political situation in Ken
lucky, but he refused to talk politics
in any way. He said that he had come
to Chicago to make an address on the
currency question, and that nothing
could induce him to talk politics. His
address, which was greeted with much
applause, and which gave satisfaction
to his hearers, was as follows:
CARLISLE's SPEECH.
Mr.. Carlisle opened with the asser-
ton that the effect of instability OF
currency must fall with more force
upon the poor than upon the rich man.
as must also be the results OF suspen.
sion of industrial activity
Said he:
Labor cannot be boarded; the idle
day is gone forever; lost wages are
never reimbursed; and, therefore.
steady employment and Sood paying
demand in money is essential to the
comfort and happiness Of the Americal
laborer and his wife and children, and
he will be unfaithful TO himself and to
them if he does not insist upon the
adoption and maintenance of such.
policy as will most certainly preserve
the value and stability of all our cur
rency and promote the regular and
profitable conduct of all our industrial
enterprises"
He then went on to argue that the.
opening of the minis to the unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio Of 16 to
of gold would drive the $620000,0 600 of
gold now in use out of the country
and by, at the same time, reducing
the purchasing power of all other
money, actually reduce the amount of
circulating medium instead Of increaSi
ing it.
HAMILTON AND JEFFERSON.
Alexander Hamilton and Thomas jeff
ferson, he said, first established the
ratio between the two metals in the
money of this country. They were
governed in their decision entirely by
the market value of the metals, rely.
ing in no wise upon the power OF
government to establish relative val-
ues.
They reached the conclusion" said
the secretary, that the true CONNER,
cial ratio at that time was IS to L.
that is, that 10 ounces of silver wer{,
equal in value to one ounce of gold,
and accordingly the act of 1892, which,
was our first coinage law authorized
the coinage of the two metals at that
ratio.
"At the ratio thus established tn!
silver dollar contained Bin grains 81
fine silver and the gold contained 24Zi
grains of fine gold; but it was sooE,
discovered that

were not in fact equal in value to 24sj
grains of fine gold, and the consequence
was that, although the difference be,
tween the value of a silver dollar and
the value of gold dollar was onl3
about one cent and one-eighth of 4
cent, silver drove gold out of use and
out of the country, and from that tint
we had silver recommendation until

CRITCHLOV ON THE Church

said Mr.. Critchlow, "are in the main
deniais that they were appointed by
the church for the purpose mentioned
in my letter, that of influencing legis
lation. 7 do not understand how these
denials as published could have been
made unless there was some mental
reservation as to THE effect or meaning
of the words used by them. There
may have been no formal, official and
regular action taken by the first pres
idency sitting in session as such, but
that the appointments were effective
and that the persons themselves I'M
derstood themselves to be acting un-
der the implied authority of the first
presidency, and that the latter so I'M
derstood them to be acting. 1 don't
see how any reasonable man can
doubt. Men have been hanged upon
evidence less cogent and convincing
than appears in this case.
AS TO THE GOVERNOR.
"As to the governor, 1 made no
charge that he was counseled or adj
vised by the junta. His denial was
superfiuous SO far as it applied to my
letter. He says he did not know any
thing about it. Take this to be true
and am the more willing to do so,
because 1 myself knew nothing about
it until the last day of she session. AS
I recognize the fact that the very idea
of the thing was so abhorrent to him
that he could not and would not be-
heve it, just as I could not and would
not until the proofs were presented
WHAT IT PoRTENDS.
eff you are satisfied that your
charges are we'll founded, what do you
think it portends for the future of this
state?"
II feel great hesitation in answering
that question, as it seems to me the
people at large must either actively re-
pudiate the action of their leaders or
must forever rest under the imputation
of insincerity. cannot and do not be-
lieve they will choose the latter
course
What, in your judgment, should be
done by the citizens with reference to
this mahter?"
First. weigh the evidence advanced
and make up their minds as to whether
the charge is well founded, and if the
conclusion is reached, then it is they
themselves must frame and adopt
new manifesto which shall set them
selves right and set right the GENTLE
population Of this state. who have on
their behalf given pledges to the whole
world"

Governor Stone then set the convention
atlre by presenting resolution nominal

Continuing, he paid a glowing tribute
to Bland. mentioning him as the logical
presidential candidate of the party. The
resolution was adopted by a rising vote.

it would be impossible for him to serve

The curious form of radiation discov-
cred by Prof. Roentgen, of Wurzburg
university, continues to attract much
attention, the scientific world being
largely occupied with the question:
'What is it?" while the general public
is more interested in the question:
''What will it do?" Reports of expert
meDts by Prof. Roentgen and his follow
ers have made one answer to the latter
question familiar-the rays discovered
by him will pass through many sub
stances that are opaque to ordinary
light, and since they will affect a photo
graphic plate just as light does, shadow
pictures of objects enclosed in opaque
matter may be made. The word photo
graph" applied to these shadow pictures
is unfortunate, as by a photograph we
usually understand a picture of an OBJ
ject taken by light reflected from that
object. No such picture can be taken
by the newly discovered radiations.
They cannot take, for instance, full
face picture of man, though they can
throw a shadow of his profile on the
sensitive plate. And, since they can
traverse flesh more easily than bone,
the bones in the shadow-picture of
mans hand stand out black while the
surrounding flesh appears DINNER.
To this somewhat sensational discov-
cry that the skeleton of living being
can be photographed, or shadow
graphed," while it is yet clothed with
flesh, we are indebted probably for the
great public interest shown in Prof.
Roentgen's discovery, for that discovery
is only the latest development of
series of Investigations that have been
going on for the past 80 years in Eng
land and Germany, none of which have
attracted great popular attention, al
though they have been eagerly fol-
lowed and discussed by students.
Ever since the mercury air pump was
made so perfect that nearly all the air
could be pumped out of glass bulb, the
behavior of the remnant has been no
ticed and wondered at. 1t is so peculiar
that the air remaining in such high
vacua is often said to be in fourth
state of matter" the other three states
of matter being respectively the solid,
the liquid and the gaseous. If two
metal points be soldered into the bulb
so that rapidly alternating current OF
electricity can be passed through the
gas from an induction coil, we have
what is called a ''Crookes tube" SO
named from William Crookes, the dis
tinguished English physicist and chem
list, from whose experiments the first
clear light on these phenomena was
gained. When the exhaustion of the
tube is sufficiently high there proceed

structed one OF his :ubes with a miniu-
ture glass railway within it, on which
rolled little wheel like windmill.
When the cathode rays struck this the
wheel rolled rapidly from one end of the
tube to the other. The steam could
also DC shifted about by magnetic at
traction. All these discoveries were
not so sensational from a popular poirt
of view as the photography of an inviSi-
BILE object, but they were more so to
scientists. for at first sight they seemed
irexplicable, and they convulsed the
scientific world for long time. Finally
most people settled down to acceptance
of Crookes' explanation, which consiC-
cred the rays" to be streams of air par
ticles (probably actual molecules-the
smallest particles obtainable) charged
with electricity and shown off from the
negative pole or cathode just as a
charged pith ball is repealed from an
electrical machine. The reason that
the phenomenon appeared only in high
vacuum was, according 70 him, that IN
air or gas of ordinary density, even the
density of the co-called vacuum" un-
der the bell of an old-fashioned air
pump, the molecules are not free to
move for sensible distances without
striking against one another-their
free path" in other words, was too
small. This explanation has been given
without comment in most of the ortho-
doX books on physics. But about two
years ago, German eXperimenters
threw a bombshell into the English
camp by showing that the cathode rays
would pass through thin films or sheets
of certain metals, and that by inserting
an aluminium window" in the glass
tube they could even be made to pass
out into ordinary air. Hence, it was
argued they could not be streams of
molecules, but must be kind of light,
and Lenard, one of the German investi-
gators, pointed out, in additional sup
port OF this view, that the rays would
produce Photographic impressions. Il
he had followed this up, Roentgen's dis
covery would have been antedated. As
it is, these experiments have again
thrown into doubt a matter that was

Crookes, the Germans by Lenard, and
each side has obtained new experiment.
al evidence that only adds to our per-
plexity. If the rays are streams of
electrified gas, how do they strike
through solid objects and take photo
graphs? If they are a kind of liaea,
why do they drive windmills and follow
a magnet?
1t can now Oe seen that Roentgen's
discovery was only tie logical outcome
of a long series of previous expert,
ments. To say this is not to belittle
him, for this Is the usual course of dis
covery and invention Roentgen's dis
covery is tnat the cathode rays, or that
part of them capable of taking photo
graphs, or perhaps a second kind of
rays generated By them, will pass not
only through an alurpinum window,
but through the glass sides of the tube
itself and through most solid sub
