chicago Tribune
Judge Burke. In dlscharging from SER
vice a jury IN MS court yesterday. pad
al the members high compliment for
their efficiency and quahfcat tons to serve
as jurors. Judge Burke sad:
Gentlemen: You were selected by ME
from 100 or more men after careful ex-
animation OF your qualifications 10 sit as
judges OF the evidence in cases where were
involved the life and liberty OF the defend
ants, so the most fasterlng tribute which
] can pay you is the fact that, in view OF
my determination to select only tit men as
jurors, YOU have. been taken this term.
The business of the court, because or your
intelligence and consctentiousness and I'M
biased discharge of duty has been pressed
with vigor and becoming dignity. You are
business men, many OF you occupying
prominent positions in this city. and each
man. perhaps, has lost each day more
money than sufficient TO pay the jury ex-
penses for the day.
Il only regret TO say one of your mum
Der has informed me of an affair that dis
closes the enemy OF the jury system. His
employer sneeringly remarked to him he
must be very anxious TO be a juror, other
wise he could have so shrewn1iy answered
such questions as to his qualification he
would have been discharged and escaped
jury service. Had that juror been dis
charged / would have punished his en-
ployer TO the extreme limit of the law.
Such a man is unworthy of citizenship in
this republic for he Is selfish enough to
want such men as You TO protect his life
and property. Than he and his like no
man Is a greater enemy of our country.
IN behalf OF the court and public well
served. thank You. Such service as you
have rendered tends 10 restore the jury
system 10 its proper function and honor
able place IN the temple Of Justice
After Judge Burke had finished. Assist
ant States Attorney Pearson said:
Your honor, this, believe, is the first
time in the history OF the criminal court
when a jury has been so complimented
and. az the representative of the state,
most heartily concur in all your honor has
said
The Jurors were greatly pleased over the
remarks OF the court.

If There is Any Thing Sure About
Mckinley Tell Us.

The campaign is now well COM
menced. The battle will rage in
New York, New Jersey, Ohio,
Inuiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota and Iowa. II
will not wax hot in New England
and Pennsylvania, which are for
Mckinley, nor in the South, nor
west of the Missouri River, all of
which is already for Bryan. New
England and Pennsylvania have II
electoral votes, which may to-day
be safely counted for Mckinley.
He is not certain of another elect
oral vote. The states west of the
Missouri River have 6l electoral
votes, every one Of which is as GER
tain for Bryan as those of New
England are for Mckinley. The
South, if we include in that des-
ignation every former slave state,
has 159 electoral votes, every one
of which is as sure for Bryan as
those of New England are for Nc
Kinley. This gives Bryan 220 sure
electoral votes, which is only four
less than majority. Those four
he will battle for among the 40 of
the Middle West and among the
4G electoral votes of New York and
New Jersey. In watching this
great struggle, with the battle
ground stretching from the Hudson
River to the Missouri River, the
question whether the Republican
in the far off state of
Maine should be $4,000 or $4,000 is
absolutely insignificant.

MysteriousIy Missing.
Mr.. p. G. Campbell, An Esteemed
Pensioner OF starr TIP. Supposed
to Have Been FOully Dealt With.

On Wednesday OF last week, Mr..
p. @. Campbell, veteran citizen Of
Starr Township, went to Swan Post
Office and received his pension
amounting to $4,000, and was seen
to go away from the post Office to-
ward his home, and has not been
seen since. His folks became
much alarmed at his not returning
in the evening and went in search
of him but could learn nothing Of
his whereabouts. Being a man Of
even temper, with no bad habits
and strict church member and
good man, the case becomes, more
alarming for his welfare, Every
day since his Disappearance there
has been searching parties scour-.
ing the country, but can find no
trace Of him. Quite nun Iiber Of
robberies have been committed in
and about the township seemingly
by an organized gang, and know
ing this was pension day and per-
'haps seeing the old gentleman 60
ing after his pension has been the
object of foul play. The authorities
at Logan have been notified, and
will take measures to makeia ia more
thorough search at once in con-
junction with the neighbors.

day evening was grand success.
Mr.. @. V. Wright and L. o. Petit
of Logan give US the best explain

have yet heard, and the Logan
Bryan Silver Quartette, composed
of Clarence McCray, Chas. Wood,
VIM. Funk and j. B. Dollison did
certainly stir up enthusiasm for
Bryan with their excellent music.
The election house was crowded
and II great many could not get in.
Our hitclring yards were full 0ftbe
vehicles of people who came to the
speech. A club was organized
with fifty two signers, which will
meet in the near future and elect
officers. A great many farmers
out here that have always been
Republicans are very quiet but
have informed your correspondent
that they are going. ito vote for
Bryan and Silver this fall. We
anticipate that the 60 majority of
last year will reach 100 easy this
year. The farmers are awake to
their interests and cannot be fooled
this year into voting for the rich
and crushing themselves.

Ticket in Two Places.
At the adjournment of the Popu-
list convention here few days ago
it will be remembered that a ticket
was put in the field, and a resolu-
tion passed appointing a committee
to confer with the Democratic
committee, and If possible to effect
a fusion, to be empowered to with.
draw the Populist ticket and APP
point members of their party to
the vacancies on the Democratic
ticket. The committees of each
party met yesterday afternoon,

These places were offered tU't the

They recommended for the places,
George Jacoby of there party, Sand

cancies,. and the entire tieket as
stated at head of our editoriaf page
is, certified in to the board 'of]
election. The populist tidket as
nominated few weeks agd Is re-
tired, and will not be certified. We
believe and have advocated that
the Populists of this county were
entitled to q fusion with our ticket
We are fighting for the same prin-
ciple and should unite in our
efforts. They are good strong men,
in love, in harmony with the prin-
ciple before we were, and are the
best teachers of the subject, and
we are glad they will be among US
in the court house in the near
future. George Jacoby is a good,

II the money in which his loan is COM
pulsory payable increases between the
date OF its making and the date of its
payment. Measured in gold all OBJ
legations have thus increased In very

class enjoys, therefore, vast advant-
age over the debtor class. The men
who work for their living and consume
their earnings year by year are placed
in most unfair position"
What are Mark Hanna, j. Pierpont
Morgan, Eidelback, Icklehemer G. Co.,
and others of our philanthropic oppo-
ients doing to relieve American farm
ers. worltingmen and producers from
this most unfair position? They have
forced a great party to affirm in it's
platform the sacredness of the gold
standard and they denounce as an

populists those who now dare to OPP
pose them.
.o There is much more good reading in
I. this text look entitled "The Grand
Old Party" and at an early date will
quote more from Its stirring and pa
triotie passages.
lr There is not the slightest reason to
.doubt---and William Mckinley will not
deny the statement that in 1878. in
Z 1850, in 1884, in 1888, in 1890, in 1909 and
oil the years and months up to the
time that the gold clique In the re-
publican national convention at st.
Louis in June, 1896, framed its gold
plank, and forced him to stand upon
it-that William Mckinley has been
constant and answering friend OF sill
yer, A few days ngo he came out
squarely and fatty for the gold stand
ard, and denounced In most bitter
terms that honest faction of the Amer
lean people who believe in the money
OF the constitution. 1t makes no differ
ence what his personal opinions are
on this question, If he be an honor
able man, he cannot, he dare not, be-
tray those who are now spending mil
lions TO elect him.
Let no man delude himself with the
hope that William Mckinley can now
be anything but n gold monometallist.
lie hns counted the cost, rendered his
decision and must be judged by his
recent letter of acceptance. Every
line In that document reflected the de-
manas Of Wall and lombard streets.
For the snke of q presidency he las
recanted the patriotic utterances OF an
honorable past, spoken in favor of sill
YER He stands to-day the pledged ndvo-
cate of doctrine he dcspiscs, the |
Of conspiracy which he |
foresaw, the details of which he has
exposed Never in the history OF Amer
lean politics has presidential can
didate occupied such pltiful position.
The question is, did the transfer of the
allegiance of William Mckinley from
to the gold standard carry
with IL allegiance Of millions of hon
est Americans who have heretofore
been affiliated with him ia an attempt
to restore silver to Its function as
money?
This Is q question which every voter
must answcE for himself. !

of the government until that date, and
yet on June 30, 1873, there had been a
total coinage of $l,041 ,03S,557 of gold
and only $162, ,425,o ,o7O of silver. Unlim-
tied silver had not meant the debase-
ment of the currency. The scarcity OF
the metal and It's free employment as
money by all nations except England
had given 1t value In comparison with
gold that removed all risk of it's free
use in our coinage. There
is grave danger In the unqualified
adoption Of the gold standard. For, as
-'silver has been taken out of Europe's )
coinage, the demand for gold has enor-
mously grown, and grown in proper
ton much greater than the supply.
I Measuring both metals by the stand
ard of commodities, 1t is substantially
true to say that gold has appreciated
more than silver has deprecated. In
the ,silver-using countries silver will
buy. almost as much of everything ex-
;cept gold as it would ten or dozen
years ago. and this fact sustains the.
demand for cheaper" money. The ad-
yocates of the gold standard allegc
that the value of gold is intrinsic, and
that'a certain quantity of gold bullion
having n fixed. value should be the
standard of exchange. This would be
all well enough il anybody were able
TO insure that the supply would con
tinually increase In ratio with the in
crensing demand for It caused by
growing population and commerce, but
os.a matter Of fact, it Is decreasing in
that ratio, and, therefore, man who
ten years ago contracted II debt
which might then have been dis
charged with thousand bushels of
wheat, must to-day pay many moro
than thousand bushels of wheat to
get himself free, just rs It Is true to
say that the silver dollar which was
exchanged on an equality with goltl
Is years ago is now worth but so cents
In gold, so it is true to say that an
amount of wheat that would exchange
Is years ago for gold dollar is worth
much less to-day"
III any. farmer is desirous to know
why his wheat 70 now worth IS cents y
bushel Instead OF one dollar he is re.
spectfully referred to this declaration
of the republican party, made only four
short years ago. Any merchant or
farmer, who views with dismay the con-
stantly depreciating value of his stock
nnd goods, and who is now staring
the face, should consult
the above quotation and then figure on
the prospect ahead of him, In the event
thatthe gold standard is permanently |
fixed as part of our national policy.
Listen to this. our good republican
friends, who nre now frantically en-
1eayoring to swallow the gold pill. |
Here Is what was asserted by your re-
pubHcaG text book of four years ago:
"The meaning of this is clear The

simply conyerting-it into gold, putting

A New AIInuet by Paderewski

Ignace Paderewski has written
a new minuet for the piano, which
he has dedicated to his American
admirers and given the significant
name Of "Menuet MoIerne" He
regards the new composition as his
best, and believes that it will meet
with greater popular favor than his
"Menuet L'Antique," written in
1883, of which over seven million
copies were sold in single year.
1t is the first minuet written by
Paderewski since "L'Antique," and
was composed by the famous
pianist expressly for The Ladies'
Home Journal, and will appear in
the October issue.

| What bankers and Plutocrats Mean by

The Chicago Times-Herald, William
McKinley's special organ, in referring
to the statement of Bryan in his New
| York address that "lf the gold stand.
ard is such good thing why do you
wish 10 get rid of it through interna.
tionl bimetalllsm?" replies rs follows:
"The answer is that we do not de-
sire to get rid of the gold standard
III bimctallism is good thing, MS Mr..
Bryan and his supporters so continual
ly proclaim, it is only good so far as il
brings silver into parity with gold. II
II does not do this IL Is not good. Bring
ing silver into parity with gold still
makes gold the standard. We assert
that It is, only by cooperation among
the leading commercial nations that
this can lie done, and that we are will
Ing to try for that cooperation"
Hon. William Il. Morris, of SPRING
field. ILL.,, In a communication, makes
the following suggestive analysis of the
above
"The Times-Herald's construction OF
the republican pledge to promote in.
ternatlonal bimetallism ought TO be
forced on the notice of every voter in
the land. The gold men do rot want
bimetallism at all. They
want international gold monometal-
'lism. Silver. under such q compact
would still among all the treaty powers
be held down TO its present position

be allowed, to share TO any extent
whatever in the work of measuring
values because 1t is itself to be meas
ured In gold.r Gold therefore Is to be
maintained by treaty with the leading
European powers MS the sole standard
OF values, and the talk about double
standard Is only so much dust thrown
in the peoples eyes. Moreover. II, after
hitter experience, the people seek by
Legislation to throw Off the shackles
of the single gold standard after once
being cntrapped into international en-
treaty will be held up before them and
they VIII Ike warned that the matter
has passed from their hands, that the
treaty making power, once exercised,
having effected such an international
arrangement, their right to nbrogate 1t
Is subject to the will OF all the other
slgnatory powers. From this 1t needs
no prophets eye to foresec interna-
tional complications that would leave
these United Suites absolutely at the
mercy of the powers of Europe. Nor
need we expect the aid of our sister
republics; for by entering
into arrangements calculated to still
further depress the products Of their sill
yer mines we close the gates to them,
bid them adieu forever, and literally
choose the monarchies of Europe as
our company and turn our lacks on
nil the republics of the western con-
tinent. The pledge OF the republican
party to promote a policy that is GER
tain TO cyentuate In the contamination
Of this, the most gigantic infamy Of all |
the ages, unless 1t be destruction of
Carthage or the Acknowledgement of po-
and, ought to damn it's leaders beyond
redemption"

An Audience mt The Opera House.
On Thursday evening last, John
Ferguson, who said he had been q
Democrat for many years in Perry
County, which if true is the first
time any body ever found II out,
made a stamer at talk to a IOgan
audience under the auspices Of the
Bushnell Club, on the gold-sta1dard
at the Oprea House. The Mckay
glee club first appeared and IPur-
sell on the stage laughed at how
he used to kid Mckay and his pink
heels, and Mckay tossed his head
in rooster pride at running Pursell
out of town. They sang something
about "Way down in Maine, Home
of James G. Blaine" but didn't. say.
much about Jim Blaine's free silver
speeches and reciprocity. Mr.. a..
V. Crawford, "Our Andy" was then
introduced, as chairman of some
sub comm ittee of some committee,
and he made great hit by saying
that Thos. jefferson was mistaken !
and Pursell Immediately motiohed
for Davenport and had him send IL
in to the Columbus Dispatch that
Thomas Jefferson was mistaken.
Mr.. Ferguson was then introduced.
He said had any body told him a.
year ago that he would at this
time make Republican speech in
Logan he would have thought him
much staken, and we will add,
we would have been very MUCH
surprised if any bo1y would haYe.I
ever accused John Ferguson of
making any kind of a speech ANY
where at any time. In The laugh
age Of most esteemed repubfic ain
reverend gentleman of this city
who went out in FIVE minutes,4AtHe
didn't have his piece learned,5aa'nh
he didn't have. any pfeee"tor learn.
He had the Democrats at Chicago
with moi welfare of the country at
heart, and in the next breath said,
81 think they were honest in-their
intentions, and b b,lieved they W re
right" He had "Noah and Eve in
the Garden of Eden, and Altgeld
ln the. cabinet, and very few listeni
ers when he got through.
F. S. Pursell was then introduced
and Tom Allen who sat by us inn
went out. He said he.
had no use for PurselI. We
thought Tom was real hasty in say-
ing such an awful thing. He
should not remember the fish worm
and pacing stories Pursell used to
tell on him. He should bury such
things for he is victor and run
Pursell out Of town. Had he \
,taid to hear Pursell he would have
for when those awful
funny stories of Sill's came rolling
nut, no body laughed. We thought
hey were funny and spread our
lace to smile, but pulled II back
again, when we sa " the disgust of
others. Don't see what the people
IF Logan have against Pursell.
Purhaps II was his talk few
lights before TO the farmers telling
hem, wheat, corn and wool would
70 up under free coinage laws,
hat made the leaders here sour on
lin. Little thing like that should
Iot make sour stomaches. We
hought the meeting was quite a.
uccess, but when talking TO Re-
'ublicans they said, II was disgust
ng, and iftheir committee couldn't
ct better people than that to
peak they had better quit. Bring
4 some more boltocrats, but in
'rm them first to learn a republi-
an speech real well so they won't ,
