1t is rather surprising to ind that so
much attention has been given to the
threat Of ex-Representative Bedford of
Colorado, that the silver states would
secede from the union if unlimited silver
coinage should be beaten in the national
election Il was merely the rawlings OF
crank. Of course. but Senator PETER and
Gov. Alleged of Illinois have seen fit TO
dignity it by denial that me silver people
have any idea Of seceeding from the union
Nobody had any idea that the silver states
would attempt to secede, and they had
still less idea that they would be permit
ted to secede if they wanted to. The
money question is one that can be settled
without violent measures Some of the
states now imagine that they want Chi
hese standard and debased currency.
But il will not be Ions before they viii

TiIIman's Campaign Tour.
From the Columbia Is. c. State (Dem.)

Tillman avoided every doubtful state
as carefully as he avoids a show-up of
that bond deal. He didn't go to Michi-
gan. He didn't speak in South Dakota.
He didn't preach in Illinois. He didn't
proclaim in Ohio. He didn't crate in In
diana. He didn't try 10 help out Boies
in Iowa. These states were the battle
fields. Some were in doubt last month;
some this month; some are not absolutely
sure even now. If Tillman could help
the cause of silver by the sort of speeches
he made, surely his duty lay there! But
no! He went instead to the hottest sill
Yer states to make his silver speeches.
Why? Simply TO advertise Ben Thlman;
TO be in touch with the most radical ST.
yer men; TO beat the air. and shout den
ance at the gold bugs, and pose, and go
through his PAGES" that all might see
what a bold brave champion and leader
they had before them. Simply to arrange
for his bust" thinking-as he himself
admttted-that the success Of silver was
in doubt That's the sort of work he
has been doing for silver, you contding
and adorng followers of his! We cannot
hope TO cure your hypnotized minds, but
I'VE can at least show you the truth.

1t appears that the threats to bolt the
Chicago convention which are being in
dulged in by some of the unlimited silver
coinage democrats have not the sanction
of the real leaders of the silver move
ment in the democratic party. 1t is an
nounced from Washington that a confer
ence of all the silver delegates elected to
the Chicago convention viii be called Just
before the convention assem- les, to decide
upon a policy and as TO candidates. The
proportion of silver delegates elected will
decide their policy. If the silverites
should have just barely below a majority
as is likely, it is said they would be will
ing to agree to the nomination of a SOUND
money man pledged not to override by
veto the vote of his party in congress.

Two Kinds Of Dollars.
From the Macon tGa) News DENY

What the American laborer wants and
what is necessary to the welfare of ev-
cry citizen of this country is dollar that
5 worth 100 cents the world over. Any
other sort OF dollar is not a dollar, and
the employe who is forced to accept Ii in
payment for his services receives pay
ment in a debased currency. This is
practically what free silver means for
the working people, the clerks and me-
chanics, of this country 1t is for them
to say If they will accept payment for
their services in a money which has
huctuating value-a mere commodity
whose worth is regulated by the value of
something else.

A Monument to Slaves.

When the men of the south went to the
war, in the sixties, they left their homes.
wives and children as a trust, in a great
measure to their slaves. There were weeks
and months during which families, towns
and sections were at the mercy of the
slaves. Had they wished to do so they
could have added hundred fold to the
horrors of the war, with murder rapine
and arson. They might have desolated the
south, and the chances are that they would
at that time have been supported in much
of their violence by the people of the
north. Sectionalism was intensely bitter
then, and it would have been easy to find
an excuse for the excuses of a people
long held in slavery.
But the slaves of the south committed
no such excuses. They were faithful to
the trust imposed in them by their mas
ters. They stood guard over the women
and children, titled the soil and fed the
soldiers in the field and their families at
home. 1t is but fitting that a race as
brave and generous as the white should
pay tribute to the fidelity of the blacks
uuLlllS thS war. ne ufSI movement in
that direction was taken recently at Fort
Mill, in South Carolina. when a monu-
ment to the southern slaves in the war was
unveiled with appropriate ceremonies. 1t is
altogether probable that this monument.
the first monument to slaves ever erected
in this country viii not be the last of its
kind. Various sections will be moved by
the example of Fort Mill to acknowledge
in enduring granite their gratitude to the
slaves for their department during the
war.
The Fort Mil monument was erected by
the personal subscription of Capt. Samuel
c. White, an ex-confederate soldier. 1t is
of white Italian marble, of the purest
quality. On the front and back of the die
are two scenes typical of slave life in the
south. The one is a negro laborer with his
scythe in his hand sitting on a block of
wood under the shade of tree, while in
the distance is seen field of wheat with
the harvesting unfinished; the other is a
negro woman holding in her arms a white
infant. The inscription reads as follows:
