! There must be a mistake somewhere.
All who look with friendly eyes upon the
/ free coinage of silver and gold at the
( present legal ratio are repudiajiOnis;s
and ignor2muses.
But Edward A. Ross, professor Of eco
monte theory and finance in Stanford
/ University and secretary of the Ameri-
can Economic Association, has written
+ a series of papers to prove the injustice
Of the gold standard; the International
Agricultural Congress has cabled "a
William J. Bryan a commendable mes
sage, which has the signatures Of emf
nent European public men; H. K. Thur
Der, the head of one Of the greatest trade
houses in the world, has abandoned the
Republican party and thrown himself ac-
lively into the free coinage movement.
Here we have an American economist
who is admitted by other economists to
be one of the worthless; a number of Eu-
ropeans who are honored with the con-
fdence of their respective countries; a
typical business man Of the widest ex-
perience and in possession of the best
means of information.
Then add Bismarck, who surely knows
nearly as much about craftsmanship and
finance as Mark Hanna, and who de-
clares that it would not be bad thing
for the United States to take the lead
in restoring the free coinage Of silver
without waiting for the consent Of any
other nation.
Professor Ross writes: 81 can see no
difference in amount of wrong between
forcing your debtor to repay you dollars
that would go twice as far and are twice
as hard TO get as the dollars you lent
him and your raising the face of the note
to double its value by the use of chem
icals. The wrong is the same. But
when an individual does it it is forgery;
when nation does 1t it is sound
finance" This, We suppose, is the red
flag Of ignorance and anarchy.
Either hundreds of Republican news
papers are bearing false witness or
Prince Bismarck, the president Of the
Hungarian Chamber Of Commerce, Pro-
fessor Ross and H. K. Thurber are ig-
noramuses and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
est debtors and fools.
Names do not make men good or bad,
wise or foolish. In the company of these
bimetallists, the followers Of Bryan will
be very well con;ented to be called by
any names Republican parusans can in
vent. And Pharisees may worship at
the shrine of gold all they please.

Democrats and local organizations may
safely be left to take care of things. A
hint to them o. the necessity for vigi-
lance and activity will be sufficient.
In the cities and larger towns Demo-
cratic clubs and communities will do
their best work from now on in perfect
ing arrangements to get out the full vote
on election day and to see that the Re-
publicans do not get out any more than

Thorough organization TO get out the

the task on which the energies of Dem

In Maine the great increase in the Re-
publican plurality over that Of 1894 was
not due to any falling off in the Demo-

they did in the September election Of

DU MAURIER DEAD,
The Artist-NOvelist'S Demise Almost
as Pathetically Tragic as That Of
SVengali.

London, October S.-George Du Maur-
Ter, the artist-novelist. author of "Tril-
by" died at 2:SO o'clock this morning.
The illness of Mr.. Du Maurier was pa
thetic in the extreme. For days he has
been lowering between life and death at
intervals conyersing with his friends re-
garding his work. Upon one occasion a
friend at the dying mans bedside re-
ferred to the success of "Trilby" as q
book and as a play, whereupon Mr.. Du
Maurier replied: Yes, it has been sue
cassiul. But the popularity has killed me
at last"
One Of Mr.. Du Mauriers friends, who
was present at his death, said: HE died
almost as tragically as Svengali. At
the zenith of Trilbys fame Svengali be-
came victim Of an affection of the
heart and Du Maurier has gone the same
way. At the zenith of his popularity
the author has succumbed to the heart
trouble from which he always suffered
his suffering being accentuated by the
constant succession of the exciting in
cidents, in which the closing few mon
of his life were spent. Checks ra.ned

fection of the lungs took him Of
George Louis Pamela BussOn Du
Maurier was born March 1884, and al
though a British subject was educated
at Paris. His grandparents on his faith
ers SIDE fed from France during the
Reign of Terror. George Du Maurier
came to England at The age of II and
studied chemistry under Dr. Williamson
at University College, London. After
ward he studied painting in Paris under
the famous NJ. Gleyre. and in Antwerp
and in Dusseldorf. He first began to
draw in wood in England for Once
Week afterward for Punch and The
Cornwall Magazine, and subsequently ne
joined the staff of Punch. After that
time his drawings gave HIM fame as an
artist and he became The C0-labOrer Of
Thackeray, illustrating his Ballads"
and many other books. including "Es-
mond" and The Story of a Feather"
Through this class Of work he became an
associate Of the Roya, Soc!ely of Paint
ers in Water ColorS
Il as reserved for him, however, to
make his greatest success in literature,
and this was achieved through the au-
thorship of "Tri,by," which made his
name as well known IN this country as
in England. His latest work is The
Mardans," a story Of Partisan life, with
some Of the features OF "Trilby," which
only began in the October Harpers Mag

cEoRcIA AND FLORIDA.

Those goldbugs who have been fooled
into believing that the silver sentiment
| Of the country was dying out should read
the returns from Georgia and Florida.
In both Of these States the Democrats
! are poor and had the immense Doodle
fund Of the Republicans to contend
against. In Florida another thing that
-ept many away from the polls and rem
dered many votes uninteligible was the
Australian ballot system, which waA
tried in the late election for the first
time. Up to the time Of writing the re-
turns from Florida were not all in, but
es mated upon the basis Of those re
oeiv5d. the State Will give the largest
majority for the Democratic ticket that
it ever cast. The sole issue discussed
was the currency question and the result
soreshadows Florida's vote in November.
Georgia did even better. Up to tbs
time of wriing the Democrats were
claiming on The basis of returns received
a majority in the neighbOrhood Of So
COO. In the las State election in 1894
the Democratic majority was 24,161.

The first hall hour Of Mr.. Atkinson's

numerous sayings and a futile effort to

To the evident disappointment of the
Republicans, Mr.. Atkinson side-tIacked
the silver question. which The audience
desired 10 hear discussed, and took up
the old. thread-bare and relegaJed tariff
question.
His speech fell far short Of exDecta-

Democrats are much better pleased over

say he is the very man TO make speeches
for their party, as his efforts have the OPP
pos.te from the desired effect.

PECUNIARY AID
offered tn Spain I'm the Event of War
With the United states.

Oncrcd tn Spain In the Event of "a War
With the United States.
MADRID, March 4.-The government
has received number of offers of
pecuniary and other aid in the event of
war with the United States. growing
out of the attitude of the latter on the
Cuban question. The people appear
to be determined to uphold the
government in it's intention to
keep Cuba Spanish colony no matter
at what cost The cabinet is greatly
encouraged by the attitude of the con-
tinental press which, generally speak
ing, expresses much sympathy with
Spain In her determination to resent
what IS termed Yankee agg ression.
One important factor in the support
accorded the government, which is sed-
ulously kept in the background. is that
debentures and other securities depend
ing for their value upon the income de-
rived from Cuba, are held to large
amount by foreign capitalists. With
free Cuba. these securities
would be practically worthless and
this accounts in great measure for
the attitude of many of the foreign
newspapers, which speak, not so much
because the United States have any
Interior motive in recognizing the Gu
bans as belligerents, as because they
are defending the financial interests of
capitalists of their country.
The government has ordered that
large quantities of coal be stored in
Cuba for the use of the warships.
Military preparations are being hasti-
ly but systematically made. Orders
have been issued for the despatch to
Cuba of achievements from the Bale
aric, Canary and Philippine islands.
At the meeting of the cabinet, to be
held Wednesday, Adm. Beranger. min
lister of marine, will ask for credit to
complete the armament of the warships
