largely instrumental in bringing about the
demonstration of silver by Germany. There
is no evidence that he would favor the re-
monetization of silver by Germany alone,
but he intimates that eff the people of the
United States should find it compatible
with their interests to take independent ac-
ton in the direction of bimetallism,' he
would have no objection to seeing them try
the experiment. Probably not. The best
place for boil is on the end of some other
mans nose. and Bismarck does not care to
see his own country attempt the hazardous
experiment of defying the commercial
world by trying to maintain double stand
ard under conditions that would make it
not only impossible, but suicidal During
the years that he was Chancellor of the
German empire, with almost autocratic
power, he never tried to have silver remon-
etized or, so far as known, uttered a word
of advice in that direction. But, with po-
lite indifference and in guarded phrase he
intimates his willingness mat the United
States should take d risk which he would
not consent that Germany should take. His
opinion that this risky and perilous action
by the United States would bring about in
ternational bimetallism can be taken for
what it is worth. Other European states
men with better opportunities for knowing
the trend of current thought and CONNER
cial policies are of different opinion, and
General Francis A. Walker, the abest adj
vocate of international bimetallism in this
country, has recently expressed the opinion
that independent action in that direction
by the United States alone would be very
detrimental to the cause. Really, however,
the free-silverites do not desire internal
uonal bimetallism, and Mr.. Bryan has
never uttered a word indicating that he ex-
poets it. His theory is that this govern
ment is big enough and strong enough to
have a monetary policy of it's own indie
pendent of all other countries. His attempt
to thrust Bismarcks noncommittal letter
into an indorsment of his wild 16-to-1 va
carries is the desperate effort of a drowning
man grasping at straws.

An Englishman, who in cold blood MUIR
dered an unoffending woman who CHANGED
to be in his path when he was out to Kill
her husband, has been sentenced to twenty
years Imprisonment, and the London Mail
protests angrily because the wretch was
not hanged. Both the verdict and the pro-
test are encouraging indications that the
valuation of an Englishwomans life is ris-
ing. Still, if the villain had made a victim
of his own wife instead of his neighbors
he might have got off with three months.

AN HONEST PREACHER.
Rev. Riggs Tells Why He Is Working
for Nick infey,

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Sept. 22.-Local ministers
and politicians are astonished at the bold
of the manner in which Rev. Harry
S. Riggs, pastor of the Central Christian
Church, is working for Mckinley and Ho-
bart. Rev. Riggs made his first open stand
at a Sunday school convention a few weeks
ago, when he fought down a proposition
to pass resolutions favorable to the Pro-
hibition party. He announced that he was
a Republican and thought it very much out
of place to indorse the Prohibition party
for anything this campaign. Saturday night
Rev. Riggs was met on the street by a
veteran and asked to attend the Veterans
Mckinley Club meeting. He did SO and
was at once called for speech In
part he said:
Some preachers object TO taking part
IN campaign and think It very Improper
to permit the discussion of politics in the
church. | believe that next to our soul
we should strive to save our Nations honor
class. of people who, refuse to take part
in politics are ponsble for the things that
usually control the affairs. Christian PEG
pie should crowd them out. During the
Democratic administration l have reduced
my salary $l6O because my congregation
mostly is composed OF working people who
have no work. and / knew they could not
pay me. Now. if Mckinley is elected will
get the $50 back with couple hundred
more per annum on top of it. So you see
] am working for Riggs and his congrega-
ton and there are thousands of other
ministers who should divide their time
equally in the pulpit and on the stump for
Mckinley during the next five weeks, as
the most good can be done getting votes
for Mckinley and prosperity.
Il expect to make an effort to have every
vote in my congregation cast for the Re
publican ticket and expect to be rewarded
above for it. This is Christian duty this
year due from all true Americans and ! am
open for assignment by the Republican
central committee at any time and place,
except on the Sabbath day, to talk for Nc
Kinley from now until election.
Rev. Riggs has made several fine speeches
and is booked for others.

quarters, but at an early hour the crowd
grew SO large that several hundred people
were turned away. The opera house was
the only building in the citv that could seat
a large audience and the Mckinley CUB
officers proved themselves equal to the
emergency by purchasing the seat sales of
a theatrical company which was then ready
to open the performance. The announce
ment that the play would be changed into
a Republican speech was greeted with
cheers, and resulted in overflow meet
