EX-SECY. Y.SMITH.
An Honest and Honorable Political
Partisan who Feels Himself Pledged
to the Ticket, Though Ore Plank
Does Not Suit Him.

Dalton. Ga, September l5'-fioh'
Hoke Smith, ex-Secretary OF the In
terrier, spoke here to-day at a political
rally held under the auspices of the
State Democratic executive committee.
The eX-Secr;ary reached Dalton yester-
ady afternoon and was given an IN
formal but enthusiastic reception there
las. night. His address Today was de-
livered TO one of the large s, audiences OF
,he campaign, and was met win ire
quent outbursts of applause.
!" beginning his speech, Mr.. Smith
referred to a meeting Two years ago at
Dalton, in which he spoke in behalf OF
sound currency" and urged that the
Democratic National platform should
not approve the free coinage OF silver.
Mr.. Smith stated that he would not
be candid did he fail to say to-day that
his views upon the financial qu u2stion
NAMED unchanged, and he regretted
he could no. endorse this part OF the
platform adopted at the Chicago con-
yen.ion He urged, however, that those
Who. Ike himself did not approve OF
this plank. should still remain loyal TO
the regular nominees of the party. He
claimed that long after the financial
question was a tied the Democratic
party would be found advocating prin-
c;Dles dear TO the interests OF the masses
of the people of tsc~ country, and that
it would be unWise TO quit me party
on account of opposition to single
plank. So far as those who are con-
cerned who had AIKEN a part in the fight
for sound money" delegates to the
Chicago convention. he fel, that they
were practically pledged, as he was ac-
tually pledged. to vote for the nominee.
Mr.. Smi.h then briefly discussed that
porticn Of the Chicago platform which
dealt with the subject of raising rev.
enue. He urged the justice Of a tariff
for revenue only and cOntrasted II with
the protective tariff for which Mr.. Nc
Kinley prominently stood. He ap-
proved the income tax, and insisted that
It was not class legislation. All the
revenue received by the government
came from the tariff and the internal
revenue tax.
The money collected from both these
sources fell as a personal tax. and no,
a property tax. Prop rty as well as
person caused expensa 10 the national
treasury. and the income tax was tax
upon property and would relieve the
present system Of inequalities.
The ex-Secretarv then devoted the
larger portion of mis- speech 10 the sup
port Of the State ticket.

Bismarck on the money question.
Prince Bismarck.
sir:-The grea, question OF finance is
now Of Importance to the people of The
United States. It is presented in vari-
Gus forms, but in a general way it may
be said TO be, first, whether the United
States shall adopt the single gold stand
ard. or. second. whether they shall adopt
bi-me;alIism with both gold and silver
as tn standard or primary money. The
argument in favor OF each is vel known
TO you, bu. i, is particularly ms Nd
thar we should NOS adop, bi-me-a.hsm
because such a standard will still fur
ther depress the values of all property
Which, in your judgment, is The best
policy to adopt. the sold standard or
bi-metaIlism? give your reasons.
What effect, in your judgment will
he immediate adoption Of b.-m-,allism
in the United States have on the cause
Of bi-me.allism in Germany and o,aer
comerctal nations?
(s;gneD NJ. A. CULBERsoN,
Governor of Texas.
n reply, Prince Bismarck said:
Friedrichsruhe, August p.
Honored Sir:-Your esteemed favor
has been duly received. 1 hold that this
is the very hour that would be advisable
to bring among The nations chiefly en-
gagged in the worlds commerce a mutual
agreement in favor of the establishment
of bimeJalusm. The United States are
freer by far in their movements than
any nation Of Europe, and hence if the
people Of the United States should find
it compatible with thsir interests to take
irdependen, action in the direction Of
b.meralllsm, I cannot but believe that
such action would execute influence upon
The consummatiOn Of an international
agreeme mt.

A WOMAN'S POOL ROOM.
One is Raided IN Chicago and Fashion
able Society Women Found

Chicago, Sept. "a woman's pool
room has been discovered and raided
by the police. Seventeen women, ali
said to be members of South Side So
ciety and attired in silk clothing and
wearing diamonds were arrested, to-
gether with a cOlored boy and an in
spector for a. telegraph company.
When the police broke into the pool
room in the building at 351 Thirty-third
street, the occupants were busily en-
gagged examining the entry cards at
Oakley, Windsor, St. Louis and the
Ideal park races and in placing bets.
With the appearance of the police the
room became a scene of pandemOnium-
Some of the women tainted. Others
screamed and tied handkerchiefs over
their faces.
In five minutes the police had col
lected cards, dropped by the occupants,
containing the entries at four race
tracks, together with tickets for bets
placed on the horses. The ticker was
then torn from the desk and a tele-
phone from the wall. The telephone,
it was discovered, had no connection
except with another in the basement.
The patrol wagons were called and all
the occupants We're taken to the Stan
ton avenue police station, where an
attorney, who was sent for, provided
bail for the prisoners.
