The .ssle has been clearly drawn.
Gold is championed by republicans
and silver by the democrats.
Mr.. Mckinley, however, seems de.
termined to ignore this fact, and in.
sists in every public utterance he is
''the advance agent of prosperity on q
tariff basis" If his managers are wise
they will cause him te drop all that
and tackle his side of the burning
question fairly and squarely. The poll
tics of such course is manifest. Gold
democrats would rather vote for sill
yer than for protection if they must
choose between the two. The public
demands that the. currency issue shall
be settled, and the evident desire Of
the republicans to shirk their respon
sibility in the case is subjecting them
to deserved criticism, which, if long
continued, will certainly be felt at the
polls. Chicago Dispatch.

NEW MEANING OF DOLLAR

Not a single dictionary or encyclo-
pedia in the English language before
the year ls7s'ever defined dollar in any
terms other than of silver. In that
year the administrators of the estate of
Noah Webster, deceased, cut the plates
of our standard lexicon and inserted a
new definition that had become necess-
airy in order to throw penumbra of
nationality around the international
gold conspiracy.
THE way to obviate the further dis
astrous effects of this international
gold conspiracy is to stopit. We want
the system of bimstallism restored in
this country. Bimetallism means the

4 Big American Ship Sunk on the Coast
OF Patagonia and Twenty
Lives Are Lost

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The Faux
land Islands, off the east coast of Pat
agoina, was the scene of a marine dis
aster last May involving the loss or
nearly twenty American lives, but VINO
they were and even the name of the YES
sci is a mystery. Mail communication
with these islands is very uncertain,
and few details of the disaster have yet
been received from the United States
consul at Port Stanley, the capital OF
the islands. Consul Miller reports that
on the evening of May oath news was
brought to Fort Stanley that a large
ship, evidently of American build, had
struck on the Billy rocks, and was in
danger of breaking up. Volunteers were
called for and the Falkland islands
launch was pressed into service with
volunteer crew of eight Englshmen.
The sea, however, was running so high
that Captain Mcpherson. who command
cd the party. found it impossible to get
near the ship. Fourteen men were in
the rigging. The vessel was wooden
ship of about 1900 tons. Captain Nc
Pherson, finding that nothing could be
done without lifeboat. put back to
port and returned Immediately with a
lifeboat, but the ship had broken up.
Captain Mcpherson and his rescue par
ty stood by all night, in the vain hope
of picking up survivors. Articles of the
vessels cargo which drifted ashore were
marked Manufactured for Holbrook.

shot in the rain, she secured four out of

down with the first barrel, having been
killed clean. The last bird, dark blue

FIRE AT GARVANZA
Dwellings Destroyed by a Supposed lnccn-

Dwellings Destroyed by a Supposed Incen-
diary Blaze
Three dwellings were destroyed by
fire early yesterday morning at Car
vanza, causing a loss of about $1,000 The
circumstances connected with the affair
are said to point strongly to incendiar-
ism. Three houses on Emerald street
were totally destroyed. They were two
two-story houses and one cottage, the
last owned by Robert Veach, the real
estate dealer of this city The other
houses have been unoccupied for some
time past, with the exception of watch
man who cares for the place.
This morning shortly after o'clock
flames were seen coming from room on
the upper story of the house. The alarm
was soon given and the Waterman III
the other house succeeded in saving the
effects. The fire spread rapidly. and
soon the other two-story house and the
cottage were on fire. There were no
facilities at hand with which to cope
with the flames, the crowd having to
content itself with saving the furni-
ture of the cottage. The loss on the two
buildings is about $4,000, and on the cot
tage probably $780, So far as known, no
one was in the house where the fire
started.
