MRS. ]. ELLEN FOSTER.

Two years ago. in the city OF Casper.
Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster delivered one Of
the grandest addresses ever heard by
the people OF Wyoming. A short time
afterward the opera house at Cheyenne
was filled with the elite Of the capital
to listen to her matchless oratory and
unanswerable arguments. This high
minded and patriotic advocate Of the
rights of women will address the citi-
zens Of Laramie at Maennerchor next
Saturday evening and every lover Of
liberty and advocate Of the right Of free
speech should hear her. An attempt 10
being made by the scurrilous demo-
cratic organ to malign the character
of Mrs. Foster and inJure her reputa-
tion. This contemplate and malicious
action on the part OF the democratic
campaign managers will bear its legiti.
mate fruit. Women Of Laramie are
lovers Of freedom and they will de-
mand the right of n of their number
to speak in this city without having her
reputation besmirched by men without
principle, honor or ordinary decency.
Such vile attacks as those which have
been printed in the Boomerang will
only rebound to the benefit Of this es.
Unable lady, but they are mighty hard
doses for the hberty-loving women OF
Laramie to swallow.

1T SPEAKS WITHOUT AN INSCRIP-
TON.
Chicago Tribune: II each American
flag that is displayed in Chicago every
day represents a republican vote, 1t is
hardly an exaggeration to say McKin-
ley will carry Chicago. There is scarce
ly a downtown business block without
a flag at every one Of its windows. and
scarcely a residence that does not put
out its flag every morning.
Every street Intersection in the
downtown district has two to four Oh
the symbols OF liberty floating oveI
head, and scarcely a vessel passes up
or down the Chicago river that doee
not carry the American flag displayed,
as II in defiance to some hidden enc
my.
A noticeable feature Of the display il
that very few of the flags carry any
sort of political emblem. The stars
and stripes tell their own story better
than any campaign orator could do It
They do not need the emblem of a gold
dollar sewed to them to tell the crowds
in the streets that the men who have
hung them there are opposed to ma.
tional dishonesty.

STEWART ON GOLD.
Has Changed His Mind Since
He Became Possessed of
Silver Mines.

In a debate in congress In 1874 Senator Stewart said: Il do not care
how much you discuss Il. o. how many resolutions you pass. they do not
make any difference; you must come to the same conclusion that all other
is the measure by which wealth must be tested; and whether 1t be pen
MES or millions matters not it Is thee measure that must test all wealth"
On another occasion Senator Stewart said: 1.-The question never will
be settled until you determine the simple question whether the laborns
man Is entitled to have a good dollar II he earns it, or whether you are 60
ing to cheat him with something els" -Congressonal Record, June IL,
1874, Page 1909.
The Congressional Record of 1874 contains the following from the
senator from Nevada:
II want the standard gold, and NJ paper not redeemable in gold
About two weeks later on February 20. 1874. the same gentleman
said:
by this process we shall come to a specie basis, and when the labor
ing man receives a dollar it will have the purchasing power of a dollar,
and he will not be called upon to do what is impossible for him O thepro-
ducing classes to do. figure upon the exchanges, figure upon the fuctua-
money is worth. GOLD IS THE UNIVERSAL STANDARD OF THE
WORLD. EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT A DOLLAR IN GOLD IS
WORTH"
These are the words of Senator Stewart before he became simply the
representative of a special interest.

The love which the big silver mine
owners have for the workingmen 10
best exempliied by thear acts. Having
become thoroughly disheartened the
union miners on a strike at Leadville
recently tried to regain employment at
the mines, but they were told in very
plain terms that the services Of the
men recently imported were
very satisfactory and that the old men
would not be employed even though
they should offer to labor for 81 per
day. The union will no longer be rec
ognized at Leadville nor q union man
be employed at any price.

Besides, the churches are conducting

circulation, UNCONVENTIONAL school and
many other forms Of activity. They

will Of the communicates, as not a dol,

the Methodist Episcopal. The total
amount of money raised by this one
church during the year 1894 was over
$24. 000, 900. The minimum Of loss en-
tailed by the foisting Of free silver
upon this important church would be
