Banker J w. Forrest, of Thayer
Kan, has left the republican party
and joined the democrats because the
republicans have adopted gold stand
ard plank and the democrats are likely
t adopt free silver. This about eyens
things up for the disaffection of Major
E. B. Stahlman, of Tennessee, who has
left the democratic party and gone to
the republicans for the same reasons.
The silver rule seems to work both
ways.

LEPROSY IN AMERICA.

Many who read OF those unfortunates
of the east who are victims of that most
loathesome disease, leprosy, are not
aware that it exists in our own Goun-
try, and that in some of the states
there are many cases.
Leprosy has been known to develop
upon patients in some of the northern
cities of the United States. PhiIadel-
phia and New York have
both reported such cases. but
the state that seems to be most affiict-
ed is Louisiana, where the legislature
has been obliged to provide. a home
for this class of invalids.
1t has been known for years that
there were cases of Ieprosy in that
state, but it appears that in recent
years there has been considerable in
crease.
The state has leased one of the fin.
est plantations in her borders, anC
there are now twenty~six inmates al

many more but for the mistaken no
ton on the part of the parents anC

night hundreds of men secured the
hills iu the vicinity where Sheriff
Douglass lost his life Sunday, but
without avail. Tho assassin
plice OF the dead robher had fully fif-
tees hours leeway Of the posse and
made good his escape, possibly never
to be detected. The only description
thus far advanced OF him is furnished
by John Blaney, the bus man be-
tween here and Nevada City. who
met the dead robber and bis supposed
accomplice near Gold Flat last Thurs
day or Friday.
Blaney says hat he is u stout.
heavy set man, five feet, ten inches in
height, with a full, round face. dark
hair and brown mustache; wore Il
dark check coat ana probably weighed
10 pounds. The inquest on the dead
robber was continued until midnight
OF last night. Tho only particularly
new testimony WIS given by Mr..
Dean, who lives 100 yards from where
the shooting occurred. lie says tina.
at about o'clock Sunday he heard
two pistol shots fired simultaneously.
After q lapse of half Il minute he
heard another shot, much louder and
more distinct. ma If from Il rifle.
Undoubtedly the first two shots
we're tired by the Sheriff, with deadly
effect, Mt the robbcr, and The third
shot heard by the accomplicc. Two
shots struck the Sheriff, but Dean
says hal he paid little attention to
the shooting as hunters are cOntinu-
ally i'll tho neighborlood and there
might have been mora shots fired.
This testimony Strengthens the theory
very materially that Douglass was
shot by a third party. Tho bullets
went clean through each Of tie dead
men and the wounds ARE such as to
mako II impossible To determine
whether n was killed by n pistol and
tho other by u riio or not. To-day

roRosr MINOR pIrrEREScEs.

Congressman Newlands in his
speech as Temporary chairman OF tho
ST. Louis Silver Convention said:
"A simple question is now presented
to sincere bimetallists throughout the
country, and TINT is whether they will
permit differences rs to non-essential
issues to divide them-thus insuring
the defeat OF the common canse-or
whether, preserving their ipdepen-
dence OF conviction and action rs TO
non~-essentials, they shall accept the
brilliant leader whom the Democracy
Inns named; and, uniting all the silver
forces wherever organized into II in
vincible army, march to victory i'll
November next.
The Sacramento Bee comments ON
the above as follows:
That is the proposition in a nutshell.
The vital issue Of the War Of the Re-
bellion was the perpetuation OF nm in,
dissoluble Union. Before that. all
other questions gave way. In the
presence OF that, men who differed
with the majority on various matters
to which the Army Of the Union be-
came afterwards consecrated, drew
their swords and gave freely of their
bloou. United on one point, these
dissenters from other principles sub
s~equently set forth, said: The n
vital question now before us is the
preservation intact Of our Union. For
that, we are brothers of the sword;
for that, we forget for the time being
all differences; for that, we will march
on, conqucring and to conquer. Let
the bugles sing truce on all minor
discussions. Our country undivided
and indivisiblc,' be u watchword
and our rallyng cry.
And so the silver men, armed III the
right, panoplied with justice, and
crowned with everlasting truth, say:
we are companion crusaders in this
cause OF the people. AS our dear
brothers, living and dead. fought to
preserve this Union from rebellious
hands that would tear it asunder, so
shall we-forgettmg all minor dill
%ferences, laying aside all trivial Jeal-
ousies. burying temporarily all lesser
subjects OF dispute march shoulder
to shoulder for the representation OF
the Union, this time from the strang-
ling clutch Of the money gamblers;
and for the liberation of the common
people OF this glorious Republic from
enslayement to Wall Street and the

1t is thought that Douglass WIS
killed by a pal of the dead robbcr.
There is great excitement over the
