Butte, Mont, Sept. 22.-By oolli-
sion between the Union Pacific express
train, from Salt Lake and the West,
due here at 1885 A. M, and mixed

Anaconda, near Rocker, four miles
west of here, at 1 o'clock this morn
ing, the engines of both trains and ex-
press and smoker of the Union Pacific
train, were wrecked, and quite number
of people seriously injured.
All of the injured were on the Union
Pacific express, which uses the Montana
Union tracks from Silver Bow junction
into Butte. The passengers hurt were
all in the smoker, which was tele-
scoped for a third of its length by the
express car.
The accident is attributed to con-
fiict of orders. The trains were to
have passed at Silver Bow junction.
1t is said that the dispatcher subse-
quently released the Union Pacific and
failed to change the orders to the
mixed train.
The trains met ON straight piece of
track, the express going twenty
miles an hour and the mixed train
fifteen miles. The engineers of both
trains reversed, and put on the air.
brakes and then jumped with their fire.
men. None of them were hurt. Both
engines were demolished. The express
car of the Union Pacific train jumped
the track and telescoped the smoker.
The passengers of the mixed train
were in the rear of the train and es-
capped with shaking up. The injured
were all brought to this city and taken
to the hospitals.

INSULT TO HUMANITY.

Derisively commenting upon the men who
attended the Bryan meeting at Cleveland Ohio
one of the god-bug papers delivered itself of
the following insult to laboring men,
cit was crowd worth looking at Nine
men out of ten wore black SLOUGH hat, the
tenth wore a derby, stove in. Nine men out of
ten wore rundown collar, the tenth rolling
stock such as Jefferson wore. Nine men out
of ten, when they stood still, spread their feet
wide apart and stuck their fingers in the arm
holes of their vests. The tenth had no vest''
Drawing the line on clothing and financial
standing is exactly what has called to the front
such men as Bryan. Did such papers as these
mold public opinion with view to live and let
live, instead of robbing the masses to enrich
the classes the citizens of Cleveland and else
where who are now seedily attired would have
respectable dress. Stove-in derbies would be
consigned to the paper-lnills to increase the
number of men employed and add to the stock
of material upon which such imbecie sheets
are printed. Were it not for such muzzed pa
pers aiding in The election of men to congress
and the White House who have no thought for
anything but the protection of monopoly and
the crushing Of wages, the men who composed
that audience would be able to wear collars of
any style, and also be able to turn down such

IsONOR BETTER THAN GOLD.

There was good audience at the Free
church last Sunday evening. The choir were
back after vacation times, and rendered pleas
ing anthem. The pastor was to speak on
"Ideal Money" and, as a consequence, there
was a large proportion of men in the audience.
We can give but glance at the sermon. The
text was from James ST: "Your gold and your
silver is cankered, and the rust of them shall
be witness against YOU The pastor de-
clared:
Fifty years ago, slavery existed in this
nation, and the great majority thought it
unwise to disturb it. Mrs. Stowe set people to
reading about it, and when they really under
stood the matter, it was corrected.
Thirty years ago, we were having Indian
wars, and the policy of determination was just
flied by protested Christian men. Helen Hunt
Jackson wrote Ramona" and ga Century of
Dishonor." The slaughter of Indians has
passed To-day, they are being educated. 1t
cost, on an average, over half million dollars
to kill an Indian. 1t costs but few hundred
to make man of him.
When system is wrong, all free people
need to DO is to know the facts. They will
then correct them.
There is wrong i'll the land vastly worse
than African slavery or the slaughter of saw
ages. 1t is that condition which Abraham
Lincoln, prophet-like, described:
"The money power of the country will en-
deavor to prolong its reign by working upon
the prejudices of the people, until all wealth is
aggregated in few hands, and the republic is
destroyed. feel at this moment more anxiety
for the safety of my country than ever before,
even in the midst of war;"
Give the people the facts concerning the
money power of the land, and they will GER
tainly change the present system 1t is but
natural that the press should be silent. 1t can
not exist without the banks, f'and this is their
battle.

Why is the O. NJ B. coming to you, brother?
Is it because of your prohibition principles? l

expressed purpose of overthrowing our pro!lib-
itory law. If you know they are coming to

they have the assurance that if Morrill, is elect
ed, they will "receive favor in his sight" Can

apart when counted. AS to the statement that
Morrill, is better man "politically' than Mr..
Leedy-well, there is room for a difference of
opinion there Ministers should remember
that quite per cent. of those upon whom they
depend for their salaried support have different
views concerning that question. The prairies
are full of them, and the glitter of the con-
stantly-increasing- n-value gold dollar should
not blind their eyes to that fact. 1t would
hardly be good policy for DR.. Fisher to go into
a country church and preach his gold standard
from the pulpit. Should he do SO, I fear he
would soon be preaching to empty pews, and
that his salary would not be greatly increased

which were at par with gold, the victory of the

spiracy concerning the $40 bonds which

funding scheme, then the last act in the money
tragedy-the demonstration of silver in 10.
The speaker defended silver from the lying
attacks made upon it, but declared that labor
was the true measure of value. Government

LEEDY AND MORRILL, COMPARED.

To the Editor Of journal:
Being a townsman of Mr.. Leedy, naturally
feel degree Of pride in the honor bestowed
upon us by his candidacy; and having per-
sonal acquaintance with him, and never having
heard of any faint upon his moral character,
cannot refrain from "saying few words"-
with your permission to those ministers of the
gospel whose action was recently reported in
your columns. There is not a man in our
town who stands higher in the estimation of
its citizens than Mr.. Leedy.
With the statement that our present governor
is better man morally than Mr.. Leedy beg
leave to differ
Mr.. Morrill, is not Christian; neither is Mr..
Leedy-I wish he were-but there they stand
equal. Mr.. Morrill, has been for years, it is
said, devoted Sunday-school worker. If one
can for years be "a devoted Sunday-school
worker" and study Gods word with such a
deep spirit of earnestness as to be able % prop
ery instruct Sunday-school class, and not, in
all that time, make any profession of religion,
should hardly expect Methodist preachers, at
least, to set him up as example of "Christ-
ian morality" of a higher grade than other
men who do not teach in Sunday school.
| call to mind the "write-up' of Governor
Morrill, which appeared in his own party paper
soon aft>r his election, in which his many vr-
tues were extolled Among the number was
the fact that he was a good card-player, and
saying that he had more packs of cards in his
house than he had Bibles. How do our Meth
odist brethren like that for "Sunday-school
teasher?" But it stated, also, that his voice
is tuned to the doxology." would like know
how these ministerial brethren can reconcile
these statements. Mr.. Leedy's voice may not

eliminated in boomerang in the West, to re-
fleet back on Yale for the next century. They
did not succeed in injury to Bryan, but to Yale,
for already the cry goes up from thousands of
voices that settles Yale for me. All the apollo
gies they can offer the great self-made man of
