The Great Issue.

But when the issue comes before the
people, what will be the result? Why
should not free silver carry Illinois
Ohio and Indiana? The great major
ity of the people in those States are
agricnlturists and indutrialists. These
classes for the most part believe that
the people have right to say what
metals they will receive and use as q
medium of exchange, They know that
it is admitted by all intelligent OBJ
servers that more money is needed to
to stimulate industry and to give EN-
ployment to idle labor. They believe
that silver fills the bill. They SEQ in
it the money of the people for the rea-
son that, If restored to its rightful
function, 1t will expand the currency
and in so doing increase the opportun-
tiles and expand the activities of
labor.
The prophets have fallen down once
and they may do so again. There is
not the same assured tone about their
utterances now that there was few
months ago. They stammer as they
predict, There is dropping of the
eye, and mantling blush on the
check as they read aloud the events
of the future, knowing as they do that
the past confounds them. There is u
marked impeachment in the oracles
speech, and the harp is hung upon the
weeping willow.-Memphis CONNER

NOlcOtt And other Pretended Friends

We are sick and tired of such idiots
As Schench and other Colorado gold
miners" who go east and get inter-
viewed and seek to stab silver by
claiming to be for free coinage,
"Though l am a gold miner l favor
free silver" is line we often see in
the dispatches reporting the sayings
of some Judas Iscariot who seeks to si-
lently injure the question by submit
ting to these interviews. Let us see if
Colorado gold miners are in favor Of
silver.
In the first place, be ii remembered,
The miners of gold in Colorado outnum-
Der the silver miners 16 to 1--yes, 16 to
l. Hundreds of gold properties are
now being worked that were abandon
cd 30 years ago as Improbable.
These mines are worked to-day be-
cause through the decentralization of
silver, wages and supplies have be-
come so cheap that the cost of operat-
ing them is under the output of the
mine Fad consequently the mine is un-
profitable.
Let silver be remonetized and labor
and the supplies Unnecessary to operate
these mines woulk go up again, and as
they climbed up the profits of the gold
output would go down. Everybody in
Colorado knows this, and we venture to
say right here that 90 per cent of the
mine owners of Colorado are at heart
goldbugs, and are goldbugs because
they know free silver would destroy
their mining properties. 1t is we'll
known fact that the mine owners, as
class, do not donate to the silver cam
paign fund, and their failure to do so
can be attributed to only one condition
ii. e., these mine owners know which
side Of their bread is buttered and don't
propose to injure themselves. There
are very few cases ON record where
these men have contributed insignifi-
cant amounts to the cause, but we VEN
turc to say that if the truth were
known they contributed their money
as blind to keep the Colorado people
off their necks, while they donated Sc
crctly to the gold campaign fund.
There isn't half dozen solvent silver
mine owners in the state of Col
orado, and with all they have contrib
uted toward the silver propaganda it
would hardly amount to SIS, 200 since

Of betrayers, we notice have plenty of
money, but we fail utterly to locate
names as contributors to silver cam
paign fund They even go so far as to
openly espouse Mckinley and the gold
crowd and make no deniaal of helping
the Wall street gang.
What applies to Colorado applies to
Nevada, Utah and New Mexico, and it
Is safe to say the large majority of
mine owners in Colorado and the other
silver states are goldbugs Of the purcst
ray serene.
1t is time to show these fellows up
in their true light, and The New Road
has no hesitcncy IN saying the whole
outfit are traitors posing as silver pa
triots. The people will attend to their

her, but Eustace Grant, my heart was
full Of blaSk and bitter thoughts
against the woman I loved.
l entered Grants sitting-room with
out either knock or warning of any
sort. He was seated and apparently in
earnest conversation with a pale,
sweet-faced woman some ten years his
senior and who was dressed as a Sister
Of Charity. He started to his feet and
looked at me like one astonished.
"You here, Loraine| he cried.

"You are too late, Grant," I said,
somewhat coldly. you can not pre-

Poor girl" he said. Then, turning
to his sister, speaking in French, "You

From Nantes. She is the superior
of Sisterhood there. She is my half

But, Viola? Why is Viola with

"She has been in her charge ever

A thought crossed me. Surely" l

one of the Sisterhood?"
"The SisterhoOd is purely charit-

He said nothing. He left the room
and in few minutes returned, leading

time to notice what changes the two
years had made in her. Beautiful as
she still was, it was not the girlish
beauty which hadwon my heart; twas
the sad, sweet beauty of a young wom-
an who had suffered.
"Eustace tells me you want to speak
to me-" she said. "Will you not spare
me, Julian? I am very unhappy"
Unhappy! Spare you! How have
you spared me? Think what my life

of the parties engaged in the mysteri
Gus affair of last Saturday night were
ferreted out by the police and arraigned
before the Mayor this morning. It was
developed at the examination this
morning that the parties are all AL
exandriaus and that the trouble orig
mated near a house of i'll repute on
north Lee street. The young man who
received the injuries was about to enter
the place when another youngster, vino
had been denied admission, started a
quarrel. The two with several friends
retired to a spot near the river where
they engaged in fisticnff bout, during
which a brick was thrown. 1t struck
the man who was subsequently taken
to DR.. O'Brien's Office. In consequence
of the absence Of one of the principals
this morning it was necessary to con-
tinue the case.

GENERAL FlTzHUGH LEES ADDRESS.
The address to be delivered by General
Filzbugh Lee in this city, next Mon
day night is awakening much interest in
every southern heart here. The fact
that it is to be under the auspices of
''lhe Mary Gusts Lee Chapter. United
Daughters of the Confederacy" is itself
enough to move the martial spirit of
all southerners, as it bears them back in
sweet and softened memories to the
stirring times of more than thirty years
ago. And the additional fact that it is
for the benefit of the needy surviving
soldiers and sailors, who fought under
the flag of 'the lost cau:e," is more
than enough, to give new glow to the
sympathy for the still suffering heroes,
who. along with their dead comrades,
made the world wonder in witnessing
southern valor, devotion, constancY,
and endurance. Monuments in memory
OF the Confederate dead are grand tes-
timoDials, worthy alike the living and
the dead but while there are thou
saunds of old southern soldiers and
sailors still surviving and in want,
monuments would be almost mockeries
if the southern people were not able to
point with pride, to such noble or
carnations for their relief, as the
United Daughters of the Confederacy.
The Mary Gusts Lee Chapter is fitting
ly named, for Mary Curtis Lee was
worthy to be the wife of the man of
marvellous moral grandeur on whose
strong arm and heroic hesrt she leaned
as they walked their way through the
sorrows as we'll as the sunshine of their
lives OF love. The occasion of this ad-
dress is full of ferveut appeal to the
good people of old Alexandria. The dis
tinguished soldier, statesman, patriot
and orator who will deliver the address
makes his magnetism felt wherever
be is. Let the whole city turn out to
greet him.
The following will be the programme
on the occasion of the lecture:

The WEATHER AND THE RIVER
The temperature last night was not so
cold as on the two previous mig hts, the
mercury dropping to but II degrees.
To-day the temperature has been much
higher, the mercury at 10 O'Clock reg

has been bright and fine.
The ice in the river is still heavy
and extends below Maryland point.
The Norfolk boats are running as

the Columbia, is running. A Iongboat
is aground in the Ice near Fort Wash
