The Slayer of the hah of Persia IL
Mol sh 4.ezs.
Teheran, May At has been definite
ly ascertained that the assassin of the
late shah of Persia, Nazer Eddin, Is
Nolan Reza, a follower of the we'll
known agitator. Sheikh Jem Aleddin,
exiled in 1891. after having been con-
victed of high treason, but subsequent
ly liberated. After his release he con-
tinued his attacks upon the govern
ment, was again imprisoned and once
more released and was actually grant
ed a pension by the shah. In spite Of
the clemency shown him Reza contin-
ued his agitation against the govern
ment and. when warned he would again
be arrested. suddenly left this city. He
was next heard of at Constantinople.
Instructions were telegraphed to that
city to have the Persian agftator
closely watched. Additional reports
from Constantinople advised the gov
ernment that Reza was corresponding
with Sheikh Jem Aleddin. There the
plans for the assassination of the shah
are believed to nave been laid. About
two months ago Reza quietly left Con-
stantinople and for a time all trace or
him was lost. Recently his presence
here has been known to the police au-
thorities and they are blamed for not
having caused his arrest. They excuse
themselves on the ground that the late
shaIh's clemency to the assassin was
exercised under the belief founded on
the reports of a physician, that Reza
was of unsound mind and il was be-
Heved even If taken into custody once
more he would only have been again
released by the shah's orders. Since
his arrest for the murder of the shah,
Reza has been closely questioned by
the judicial authorities. AT first he
professed to have acted entirely of his
own accord and in the interests of his
people to whom he claimed reforms to
which they were justly entitled had
been refused.
Later the prisoner confessed the as
sassination of the shah was the out
come of a long-planned conspiracy. He
was chosen to do the deed He waited
two months for favorable chance to
shoot the shah. The assassin also ad-
mitted that upon many occasions he
succeeded in approaching the late
shah under various disguises. but 1t
was not until Friday last in the
mosque of Shah Abdul Azim that he
got near enough to fire the fatal shot.
The murderer has admitted eight per-
sons were in the conspiracy. Two, who
have been arrested, are the nieces or
the prisoner. They were domeStics en-
ployed in the harem of the shah Reza
has confessed that the girls kept the
conspirators informed regarding the
movements of the shah. Friday morn
ing the chosen assassin was Informed
that the shah intended to visit the
shrine of Sultan Abdul Aim. Finally
Reza has informed the authorities that
he intended to commit suicide by
blowing out his brains, but was dis
armed before he could carry out his
intention

A STRANGE CONDITION.

Republican conditions in Montana
are rapidly assuming a remarkable
phase. II there is a city on the conti-
nent which. because of self-interest as
well as from patriotic motives, ought
TO lead in fervid advocacy OF whatever
helps the silver cause, that city is
Butte. Yet at this moment a wrangle
is progressing among the republicans
in Butte, and the interests of the cause
of free coinage are directly involved.
Only recently the republicans in
Butte met in a city convention and ac-
tually ignored the name of one of their
own townsmen. a republican, a federal
senator who, singly on his record re-
garding silver. has come into national
prominence. The pending contest in
Butte cannot be settled till Wednes-
day. so close is the result of last nights s
primaries in Silver Bow. The success
of one faction means that. so far from
oomplimenting him. Silver Bow county
will organize to defeat Senator Mantle.
II the county can do II. as a delegate
TO the st. Louis convention. Thus at
a critical hour a humiliating spectacle
is made of this country's silver city"
II is about as bad in Helena where
primaries were held last Saturday. A
republican element in that city made
a direct fight on the states two silver
senators, and the fighters there claim
that they have the best of It. The ex-
preston in Helena is said to have been
against boiling. this being intended as
criticism on the recent conduct of
the Montana senators. There was also
an emphatic expression of opinion
against walking out of the st. Louis
convention. in case il pitches free coin
age out of doors, and an assurance that
the republican party will pull true
whether silver gets a show or not.
We predict that democratic perform
ance in Montana will be in sharp con-
trast with these evidences of repub-
lican hypocrisy. More's the pity tina,
the democratic forces in the state were
not marshalled right early in order by
promptness TO make their proclama-
tion OF loyalty TO silver more en-
phaaic.
But who had dreamed that in Silveu
Bow county free coinage would have e
hght for a decent show for its cham.

TILE COLORADO NAN.

The republican journals welcome
Senator wolcott back to the goldbug
fold. They rejoice over the return of
the prodigal. as If some strange thing
had happened, although it has long
been known that the Colorado senator
cherishes a second-place ambition
which he hopes to crafty by surrender
ing his place in the free coinage ranks.
Mr.. Wolcott refused to operate with the
five silver republicans when they re-
sisted tariff legislation.
Let Senator Wolcott go his way.
There are a few silver republicans left,
just a few of them, and Colorado's Sc
nior senator. Mr.. Teller. is one of them.
Evidently the breach between him and
Wolcott is widening to the proportions
of chasm. Last Wednesday, Mr.. Tel
ler said in the senate: II look with
fear and trembling on the result at St.
Louis. When the organization to which
I belong ceases TO represent my senti-
ments and my judgment, / cease to act
with it. 1 should despise myself IT,.
holding the views / do hold. / should
lift my hand TO put in power any man
who will attempt to continue the pres
ent system of finance"
Let us hope that this sentiment will
be craven on the hearts of the other
republican senators who thus far have
followed Mr.. Teller's lead.

of the election of Mckinley, as to the eff
feet of the free coinage of silver at rs
to 1 upon their personal pecuniary inter-
ests. On the one hand. it is claimed that
while free coinage will result in an in
crease in the prices demanded for COM
modities, wages will rise in proportion,
so that workingman for his daily OF
weekly stipend can purchase as much
comfort as he is able to purchase now.
This is the claim of the Bryan men. The
Mckinley men deny it, and assert on the
contrary. that while wages may rise
slightly. they will not double as it is sup
posed that the prices of commodities will;
therefore the workingman, while he may
receive Il larger sum of money in re-
turn for his labor. the money will have
less purchasing power and he will there
by receive less of comfort. His condition.
instead of being improved, will be worse
than it now is. The experience of Japan
since 1873 goes to show that the Mckin-
ley men have the best of the argument.
and this experience is confirmed by the
experience of all other countries on sill
yer basis. in which wages and prices have
risen in consequence of the depreciation
OF silver. Wages never rise in proportion
to prices For this reason the free coin
age of silver at 16 to l would be an in
jury and not a benefit to the working
men of the United States.

BRYAN is PREACHING TREASON.

Attorney General Harmon turns the
flank of Bryanism neatly when
he quotes Senator Daniel of
Virginia against Chairman Dan
iel of the Popocratic convention
in relation TO the subject of Federal in.
reference" co-cailed. with the assumed
rights of mobs to violate the laws of the
United States.
Senator Daniel introduced in the SEN
ate that ringing resolution which upheld
Mr.. Cleveland ip his suppression by mil
itary force of the interference of lawlesS
men with the transportation of the mails
of the United States and with commerce
among the StateS.' Ii WAS Senator Dan
iel who presided over that maniac con-
vention that propounded the assurance
that the president had no constitutional
right to do that very thing which Seni-
tor Daniel formally and vigorously ap-
proved his doing.
1t requires some little patience on the
part of men familiar with the organic
law of the Union to gravely meet and
refute the wild assertion of ignoramuses
and blatherskiJes. bur Mr.. Harmon has
simply TO submit sections :,.29I and 5.29S

cation on the president to employ force

THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

The freedom of speech and right in
a country like the United States, where
every citizen has his say, can only be
maintained by jealously guarding the
public utteranceS. 1t should be DEEM
ed Il menace to everyone when any. in
dividual descends to incendiary or an
| archistic talk to accomplish a purpose.
If anyone violates this principle, it
should always be taken against him,
and in he case of Il political candidate,
it should defeat him. as the people
cannot afford to trust an Incorporate
or an incendiary man. and they don't
need to. The difference between ear
nestness and anarchy in speech is so
clearly defined that there need be no
mistake.
When Bryan. in his speech at Chica-
go. said burn down your cities. ETC., he
gave the key to his whole scheme and
character. If the public trusts him af-
ter such Il note of warning it must ex-
pcct an incendiary government, dam
~erouS at Ill times alike to friend and
foe. Bryan will undoubtedly be beat
en- by his own party. 1t is justly
ashamed of him. He is not even a
Democrat. His party found it neces-
Sary to get away from him entirely
and hold another convention and nOm-
mate Il Democrat to get away from
the stampede and riot at Chicago that
adopted platform that must sink any
candidate that stands on it. Never
mind Bryan'S promises for free silver
to all voters if he is not to be trusted
by his own party. If a bad man tried
to assure us of Il good thing we would
all be slow to believe him. Here is a
man posing as Il Democrat without
any Democracy and so bad that the
best men in his own party cannot and
will not trust him. but find it necessary
to go and hold a convention and NOM
mate Il Democrat so as to beat him If
possible. Instead of preaching to the
public Mr.. Bryan should privately and
religiouSly try to make peace with and
satisfy the good men of his own party
that he and his 1G to / and his anarchy
and burn down your cities is right. His
position before the country at the pres
ent time is that of a man utterly dis
credited by the best men in what he
claims is his own Democratic party,
many of them tried and trusted Dem
0crats and patriots before he was old
enough to blat. The pledges, promises
and threats of such a man as Bryan
must fall fiat in the face of such facts.
Bryan'S boasted eloquence must be de-
void of sense and argument when he
can not convince millions of conceded
Democrats that he is not a menace to
the country and it's business interests.
He must have tried it on the dog at
Chicago to stampede the convention.
but the medicine is no good when offer
ed to real Democrats. and the real
Democrats in the Chicago convention
even rebelled. We are told level-head.
ed people cannot be hypnotized, but
that certain subjects can. We can cas-
lily place Bryan among the hypnotStss f.
when he handled enough subjects at
Chicago to get nominated and fell fiat
before a levelheaded crowd here.
Such a man. with such a nerve, could
only succeed like @renSali.-New York
Dispatch.
