fell at 1912 O'Clock. 1t was not un-
til half an hour later that he was pro-
nounced dead. His neck was broken
by the fall. The marvellous nerve OF
the man never deserted him to- the
very last. Even on the scaffold he
was probably the coolest man i'm the
solemn assemblage. In n few words
he proclaimed his innocence of any
murder, including that of which he
was convicted and hanged. He de-
clared that the only wrong-doing i'm
the taking of human life for which he
could he held responsible consisted
in the death of two women, who had
died as a result of criminal Opera
tiOns by him. He did not name
these victims. Holmes spent the
greater part of his last night on
earth writing letters. At midnight
he went to bed and slept until q
O'Clock this morning. 1t took two
calls to awaken him. Promptly
arising, he received a visit from his
spiritual advisers, Fathers Daily and
citation. They administered the last
sacrament and did not leave him I'M
til nearly 9 O'Clock. During their
absence, he ate a breakfast of eggs,
dry toast and coffee. At 1902 o'clock,
the sheriff called together the official
jury and, after each man had
answered to his name and SUBJ
scribed to the certificate, the solemn
march to the gallows was begun.

East Against thu West.

But few years ago the west was
an unbroken wilderness. 1t required
great energy, perseverance and self
denial to develop it. Its settlement
and civilization were accomplished
amid scenes of indescribable danger,
privation and trial. The early west
ern settler was a hero. He took the
lives of his family and his own life
i'm his hands, and went among row
ing bands of savages, by singular
self-denial and indomitable energy,
established a home and laid the
foundation of the marvellous civili-
cation that followed. Having faith
fully and conscientiously performed
this prodigious work, and having
opened the way to profitable invest
ment of large sums ofeastern capital,
he naturally had right to think
that at least i'm all national affairs
he would be treated on terms OF
equality with his Eastern brethren.
Much of the development of the west
is due, doubtless, to a large use OF
eastern capital; eastern and foreign
money has largely aided i'm the con-
struction of our railways and materi-
and farms. 1t has likewise been in
strumental, in some measure, In
building our towns and cities, and in
these respects we are the debtors oi
the east. But it should be remem-
bered that the obligation is not en-
tirely Onesided. The west thus
afforded an enlarged opportunity
for eastern enterprise and capital,
and large and secure returns on in
vestments that could not otherwise
have been made; and we have, in
fact, offered a very fruitful field
which the east has cultivated with
great profit to itself. The opening
of western farms and mines, under
proper industrial and commercial
conditions, would be "A source ol
great wealth to those who own them
and would enable the west to con
tribute largely to the aggregate
national wealth, rand would be pro
ductive of a prosperity that hai
hitherto been unknown, if eastern
greed could be held i'm check long
enough to accomplish the work.
A sentiment exists i'm the west that
it is the purpose of eastern money
loaners and capitalists to drain ouI
industries of their profits by un
friendly legislation, and that they dc
not intend to permit an enlarged
volume of money, and that by thif
and like means it is their purpose to
increase the national debt and issue
interest-bearing bonds that will rest
AZ, a blanket mortgage on the entire
property of the country; and OuI
people believe that, by the time these
bonds mature, the west will be com
PEELED to furnish the larger part o
the money for their payment. We
feel that, through the operation of .
shrinking volume of money, whief
has been caused by eastern votes AND
influences for purely selfish purposes
the east has placed it's hands on thu
throat of the west and refused tt

which we, as citizens of a common

An Interesting Meeting Addressed by

at Maccabee hall Wednesday evening,
andSvfre well entertained by Mr.. L.
st. Julien Cox and other speakers. Mr..
Cox was particularly happy in several
and pertinent to the question; on the
come tax and the supreme court decis-
iony giving some citations that are new
and pertinent to the questions, on the
former citing from a speech of one of
the Republicans an extract that strikes
one as a very forcible illustration of the
tergiyersations of this great apostle Of
finance. Says the orator: mo nation
ever fought great war by the aid OF
gold. In our own civil war 1t Is doubt
full If the gold of New York and London
did not work greater injury than the
powder, and lead and iron of rebels.
Gold paid no soldier. 1t is the most
cowardly and treacherous Of all met

that we are anarchists in demanding
equality of taxation, Mr.. Cox aptly and
neatly puts where it belongs, on the
head Of the enemies of the constitution.

great Republican anarchist and de-
stroyer of the idolatrous worshipers Of
the golden calf, w. H. Seward, when
United States, he says: "The people
of the United States never can, and
never will accept principles so unconsti.

gitive slave decision); never, never
never. Let the court recede. Whether
1t recedes or not, we shall reorganize the
court, and thus reform it's political sem
timent and practice" -
The speaker addressed the audience
for nearly an hour, and at the close
received generous applause.
