A MASSACHUSETTS HEALER.

Healers are generally supposed to be
purely western products, thing indi-
genous to a wild and woolly region.
But Maiden, Mass, has one, JUS. as
good as Sclaaatter or Schroeder ever
dare be- His name is Timothy W.
Lincoln. He got his power through
lightning. The storm in which he re-
ceived it occurred at Bath, Me. He tells
OF the occurrence in this language:
During the tempest Expressman Saw
yer was standing with friend in the
doorway of the American express Of

lightning was seen to run along the
wires and at the crosstrees of the pole
i'm front of the Rouse building. Each
time the lightning would leave the
wires and apparently descend to the
ground in spatteTs with a smack and
splash like water. The third time I
happened to be near the pole and the
fire seemed to fall adj around me. For

nene physician residing near by. The
doctor found that WonderTul eiactff-
cal current seemed to escape from my
body A presentment came TO me that
it might be of a healing nature and
smoke of it to the doctor. DR.. Rouse be-
came quite excited, went out and re-
turned with friend that had been sick
a long time with rheumatism in the
legs, and in ten minutes he was cured
by me- Monday morning the doctor
invited fifteen others that were troubled
with other diseases, and to his utter
surprise I cured twelve out of the fif-
teen in less than thirty minutes"
He differs very materially from the
ordinary healer in that he has ample
means and doesn't ride around the
country on a white mule; nor does he
wear long hair and an unkempt beard,
which shows that his healing powers

MIR. CLEVELAND AND A THIRD
TICKET.

Whether the boiling Democrats will
place third ticket in the field is not
certain as yet. A day or so ago the
impression got abroad that Mr.. Cleve-
land had expressed his disapproval of
third ticket The president tele-
graphed the New York Evening Post
that it was absolutely untrue that he
had given any advice to the Indianap-
oils conference That still leaves the
question of his approval or disapproval
of third ticket unknown. Whatever
may be the presidents attitude towards
such a ticket, true it is that ex-Postmas-
ter-General Don NJ. Dickinson returned
to his home in Michigan only a few
days ago from a visit to the president
at Gray Gables, and on his return he
Immediately announced his opposition
to the selection of a third ticket, ac-
cording to a Washington dispatch to
the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat. In a
private telegram he stated that Reed
speech is the keynote. The time has
gone by for partisanship. It is now a
question of patriotism.
In view of all this ii was but natural
that people should infer that Mr.. Cleve-
land disapproved of a third ticket. and
probably this is the source from which
arose the impression that he had.
There can be no question that Mr..
Cleveland does not indorse the Chicago
platform; its declarations are too d.
ametrically opposed to the policy of his
administration for him to be otheTwl Sc
than hostile to its financial plank
We Go not believe he will vote for Nc
Kinley, nor is he a man to allow his
opposition to anything of which he
strongly saprroyes to be merely of a
negative character. What form his
opposition to the Chicago platform will
take this year it is almost if not quite
impossible to say. The advocates Of a
third ticket would be glad to have his
support, if not 70 have him head their
ticket, while to the regular Democracy
what he does or does not do in the
matter is very largely matter of in
difference. The third party men who
have boiled the Chicago platform but
cannot swallow Mckinley have very
squeamish stomachs indeed.

Undoubtedly there are intelligent
and weE-meaning men giving support
TO the Chicago platform and nomina-
lions in the belief that they can start
the wildcat engine of anarchy and stop
it when they please; that the election
of the Chicago candidates would mean
nothing more than change in the
money system of the country, and that
the elements of disorder summoned to
the support or those candidates would
be held in restraint when once the
election had been achieved says the
New York Mail and Express. Does it
not see that intelligent and well-mean-
ing men have not the remotest inten-
ton OF starting wildcat engine of
anarchy 1t is the alarmists and the
tinaid who talk about anarchy. That
strle OF talk all comes from the gold
men, none of it from the silver men

observation of Judge Gilbert to an ac-

on recelVerShip matters connected with
the northern Pacific railroad. Judge Gill
bert hadn't been in the city a great while
before he met one governor in the court

Judge Gilbert did not speak, but he

When the court adjourned Judge Gilbert
went to his hotel. On the way there the
party stopped at the First National bank.
where Governor Houser was introduced to
him. In the afternoon they dropped into
the court house and visited the state
offices. There was another experience of
the same kind for Judge Gilbert there.
This is Governor TookeF," said one of
the members, as they passed the office of
the clerk and recorder
And even then Judge Gilbert did not
meet the governor of the state, for that
official was out of the city on official bus

WHAT MoNoMETALLrsM MEANS.


The London Times and Echo of July
10, 1896, speaking of the single gold
standard, said:
If the single gold standard can. be
forced upon South America and Asa, as
IL has been since 1873 forced on North
America and Europe, gold must iqev-
Dtaloly appreciate to at least four times
its present absurd value; or 10 put it
otherwise, commodities must decline to
one-fourth OF the present price, and la
Dor, all the world over, be cTucified as
it was never cTucified before-in days of
medGaeval serfdom or even chafrtel STAY
cry. Such is the contest. If the money
lords can force monometallfsm upon the
whole world, they will succeed in es-
tabiiehing the most gigantic moneyed
airistocracy among the rich, and the
worst system of peonage see'fdoGn
cursed the hapless sons of men.
1t cannot be charged that these are
the views of any interested mine owner
or politician who hopes to profit by
the triumph of Mr.. Bryan and the prin-
ciples of the Chicago platform. They
are the views of an English paper which
sees things as they are. If the single
the world, then the slavery of mankind
will be almost complete. With such a
standard half the worlds money viii
be gone, while the other half will be
under the control of the few, and it Will
be Within their power TO SO manipulate
