AN ABLE ACCEPTANCE.
Ackiniey's Manly Uttersncos on His Nom,
 nation.

Mckiniey's Manly Utteranccs on His Nom- ination.
 The notification ceremony at Canton possessed all the elements of interest raturally belonging to such an occasion, nnd it drew from the republican candi- date for president a speech which con- tains the substance of all that will or can be said throughout the campaign in advocacy of his election. Mir. Mo kinley will perhaps discuss the issues more elaborately in his letter of accept ance, but he set them forth with great clearness and felicity. It was a calm, rcsoiute and perfectly candid speech, reflecting with accuracy the mental and moral character of the republican nom- inee, and supplying new assurance of his qualifications as a leader and his fit ness for the executive office.
 Senator Thurston in his formal mes- sage from the convention to the can didate happily defined the sentiment which controlled the choice. The nom ination, as he said, ''has been made in obedience to g. popular demand" and the uprising of the people emphasizes the sincerity of their conversion to the great principles with which Mir. Mo- Kinley is identified. From the certain fact that the popular will directed the choice at St. Louis springs the confident belief that the choice will be ratified at the polls; and there is absolutely noth- ing to marahe satisfaction which that assurance gives, for in this case the proc lamation of a political creed required for its full effect the nomination of the typical American gentleman who is now the republican candidate. A man of less dignity of character would have been likely to dissent with an affecta- tion of humility from the estimate so put upon him by his party and the peo- rle. Mir. Mckinley without sugges- tion of vanity accepted the association

TNVENTY-EIGHT DEAD,
Awful Accident to an Excursion
 Party Near Omaha.
A Passenger and Freight Train Collide with Terrible Results-Half a Hundred Also Injured. Many of Whom Will Die-
 Engineer Montgomery Blamed.

OMAHA, Neb., July 1a-A heavy loaded excursion train and fast freight on the Northwestern road col lided shortly after six o'clock Saturday evening near Logan, Ia, 2S people were killed and 5l injured. Many of the latter will die. Omaha was city of mourning yesterday. The bright sabbath morning brought the full realization of the greatest catastrophe tha. ever wrecked death and desola- ton in the hearts and firesides of its people. No part of the city was spared. There are broken homes and bleeding hearts everywhere, and sorrow reigns supreme. Twenty-four dead are iden- tined, end the remains of the others are so badly mutilated that identitica. tion is hardly possible, all semblance of humanity being crushed out of the corpses.
 It took much time to prepare the in- iured for their journey to this city. It was necessary to transport them a con- siderable distance after their wounds were dressed. Owing to the nun Der, it took still more time for the physi- clans, even though they worked as hard and fast as they could, to adjust the bandages and to tenderly dress the gaping wounds that caused men, wom- en and children to scream in the loud- est tones in their supreme agony.
 of the more seriously injured some will die, some will hold their beds for weeks and months, some are in com parison but slightly injured. The wounds range from surface cuts to in. ternal injuries, which must result in death.
 The responsibility for the accident rests on Engineer Montgomery of the Inflated excursion train. His orders were to wait at Logan for the fast mail and fast freight. He started his train out immediately after the mail passed, forgetting about the freight The head end collision occurred 20 minutes later on curve. The heavy freight passed partially over the passenger. All the people killed were in the front coach of the excursion train.

JUSTIFICATION OF M'kINLEY.
Even His Political Opponents Speak in
 His Favor.

| Even HIS kOt1t1cat opponents bpeek ID | His Favor. | The newspapers which have been most
 skeptical as to Maj. McKinley's sound-
 ness on the money question are one after another coming to the cOnclu- sion that their skepticism is not sus- platform convinced some that Mckinley is sound and his speech of acceptance
 knocked away skepticism's last prop. The New York Sun puts itself and l Maj. Mckinley right in these words. "There is one phrase in Maj. McKinley's speech of acceptance which is worth Q hundred generalities about full dollars parity of the two metals and dollars as untarnished as our flag "'The money of the United States must not only be current at it's full face value at home, but 1t must be counted at par in any and every commercial center of the globe
 "Now, there are only two ways of mak- ing every commercial center of the globe count our dollars at par. One is to per- suade or compel all the nations of the earth to take at par American dollars which are worth less than par, and that is an enter prise rather too large for us. The other is to put forth no dollar that is not in- trinsicany worth par in the worlds ex- changes
 That means gold dollars or dollars based on the gold standard. the worlds standard of value"
 While objecting, as matter of course, considering that it is @ propagandist of free trade, to what Maj. Mckinley says about the tariff, the New York World says:
 His unequivocai Endorsement of the sound money plank and his declaration in favor of a dollar -as good as the best in the world. which must not only be current at its face value at home, but must be counted at par in any and every commer- cial center of the globe is a reassuring ut- terance and renders clearer than ever the democratic duty and opportunity at Chi .cago."

THROUGH THE GATES.
Little Gypsy Girl Who Was Left to the
 Mercy of the Parish.

Ahttie Gypsy GlrI WhO was Left to the Mercy of the Parish. The western sky was glorious that evening purple and gold and crim- son and yellow all mingled their colors to make a glorious sunset. And the crimson and purple and gold rays stopped and kissed the trembling grass and the shining bluebells, and touched each ripple in the tiny stream till Alad. din's palace was not more beauteous. And over it all God. cast the mantle of holy calm, like the strain of silent music out of one of His Heavenly songs, and the very breeze hushed its signing and died away as if afraid to breathe and spoil His work.
 The bees busy hum was over for the day, and the last bird gave one fright ened twitter, and then, as if afraid to be alone, spread his wings and sought hiding place in a golden furze bush, and the rabbits and tiny field mice curled up in their nests and slept, and all things were full of peace.
 But there was little peace and joy for little Elizabeth.
 Her mother, dying, had left her an unwelcome burden to "the parish" "Only gypsy child" people called her. so there was nothing but drudgery and blows and beggary and glances which spoke of anything but love or peace.
 So that glorious sky told of no love as she went on her evening errand, for she did not know what it meant. But she toiled wearily down the grassy path towards the spring, where every tiny green blade sprang up to greet the rosy light, and stood erect, as if to try and see more of the western glory than its fellows. And then Elizabeth sat down to rest.
 It was the only time in the day when she could rest without the terror of being disturbed by angry seedlings or worse-but she dared not stay very long-but tonight she was worn out from work and little to eat. So she sat her down and rested her thin old face in her thin little hand, and put her sharp elbow, which peered blue and bare through her torn sleeve. on the sunset green turf. And then she gazed and gaZed across the grass and the little wood and the tiny ripping stream, away and away to the bars of glory in the sun. And the bars of crimson and gold changed deeper and deeper. till at last they faded away as all things fair here fade-and the quiet night came in their place.
 Next morning people found her rags and pail and the t'lir, worn limbs which she had carried so bravely until she laid them down and rested forevermore. But she was not there. She had gone through the golden gate. And they told Elizabeth's mistress that Elizabeth was ''dead," for you see they did not know how Elizabeth had gone in through those gates and left death and drudgery behind forever. Chicago Journal.

of his name with the cause which IS to te victorious in these admirably chosen words: Great as is the honor con- ferred, equally arduous and important is the duty imposed, and in accepting the one I assume the other, relying upon the patriotic devotion of the people to the best interests of our beloved coun- try and the sustaining care and aid of Him without whose support all we do is empty and vain."
 The candidates statement of the things which must be done to restore national prosperity, and which the re- publican party is confidently expecting to undertake, could not be improved. It is not a vain and grandiloquent as- cription of wisdom and virtue to a polit- ical organization whose record at every stage contradicts the eulogy. Nobody can refute the assertion-and we be- lieve there were never before so few in mood to make the attempt-that re- publican supremacy has meant honor and prosperity hitherto. If there were ever before so many believers in repub- lican capacity to mold the future, all the signs of the times are at fault. The proofs which in reality were always ample have been even more clearly re- yealed in period of unexampled dis tress thanin the long years of well-being and contentment. What the party has done it can and will do again so soon and so long as it has the opportunity. It points the country to its adversaries' broken promises, and to its own accom- plished deeds for double object-lesson in the art of government.
 There has never been an honest doubt of the republican candidates steadfast adherence to the principles set forth in the platform which he heartily ap- proved before its adoption. But though he did not need to give any further as- snrance on that point, his expression of satisfaction with the direct and em- phatic terms in which the party creed is enunciated is sure of cordial re- sponse. "They are too plain and posi- tive to leave any chance for doubt or question as to their purport and mean ing," and Mir. McKinley's career and character supply a perfect guarantee of the wisdom and devotion with which, as candidate and president, he will uphold them.-N. Y. Tribune.

M'KiNLEY ON FINANCE.

The Republican Nominee for President Re-
 ceives the Foraker Club.
 CANTON, O., July !3.-In a speech to the Foraker club, which visited him Saturday, ex-Gov. William Mckinley said:
 Recent events have imposed upon the pa- .riOtc people Of this country n responsibility md duty greater than that of any since the ,yil war. Then it was n struggle to preserve :he government of the United States, Now 1t iS struggle to preserve the financial honor of the government of the United States. Then 1t was contest to save the union. Now it is a sOatc>, to save, spotleSs, it's credit. Then sec- :ion was arrGyed against section. Now men of all sections can unite, and will unite, to rebuke the repudiatiOn of our obligations and the de- basement of our currency. In this contest pa- :rOtSm is above party and national honor is ielrer than any party name. The currency and credit of the government are good now, and must be kept good forever.
 Our trouble is not with the character of the money that we have, but with the threat to de- base it. We have the same currency that we had in iSG?-gOod the world over and unQues- toned by any people. Then, too, we had unexamped credit and prosperity. Our difficulty is to get that money in cir 2ulatiOn and invested in productive en- terpriSeS which furnish employment to Amer tcan labor This is impossible with the dis trust that hangs over the country at the pres ent time, and ever; effort to make our dollars, or any one of them, worth less than 100 cents each only serves to increase that distrust What we want is a sound policy, financial and industrial, which will give courage and contl- dence to all. for, when that is done, the money now unemployed because of fear for the future and lack of confidence in investment, will quickly appear in the channels of trade
 Gentlemen. the employment Of our idle money-the idle money that we already have in gatntul pursuits will put every idle man in the country at work and when there is work there Is wages. and when there are work and wages there are consumers who constitute the best market for the products of our country.
 Having destroyed business and confidence by a free trade policy, 1t is now proposed to make things still worse by entering upon an era Of depreciated currency. Not content with the inauguration of the ruinOus policy which has brought down the wages of the laborer and the price of farm products, it's ad- VOcateS now offer new policy which will diminish the value of the money in which wages and products are paid Against both of these we stand opposed. Our creed embraces an honest dollar, an untarnished na- uonal dollar, adequate revenues for uses of the government, protection to labor and industry, preservation Of the home market and reciproc- ny which will extend our foreign markets. Upon this platform we stand and submit it's lecIarationS to the sober and considerate judg- ment of the American people.

"oLp srATE oF PIKE."

The Home of the Stark Brothers' Nur- series One of the Biggest Institutions in the World-Its Trade Extends to
 Nearly Every Civilized Nation on Earth. St. Louis Republic, Jdnna,y 7, f896 One of the largest institutions in this State is the Stark Bros Nurseries and Orchards company at Louisiana, Mo-, and Rockport, Ill. The trade of the firm extends not only throughout the United States, Canada, Ger many, France. Italy, Hungary and other foreign countries. but it has mum Der Of GUS toners both in New Zealand and Australia. Eighty years ago there came from Ken lucky to Pike county he late Judge Stark, then young man fresh from Old Hickory's New Orleans campaign. He started the nursery and planted the first grafted or chard in the slate, having brought the scions on horseback from Kentucky.
 The business has descended from father to son, and is now conducted by the third generation, assisted by the fourth. This firm has more than ,0c0sgaveling solicitors, and employs more people in its offices than would be necessary to run large manufac- turing concern. The extensive packing houses of the company are adjacent to the city, connected with the railroad by special tracks. From these packing houses hun dreds of carloads of trees are shipped an- nually. The nursery grounds embrace a number of farms convenient to the city. and even extend to Hockport, llls., where there is plant of several million trees.
 The peculiarity of the concern is the establishment of large orchards. These orchards in "A states aggregate nearly 50, GOO acres, and more than 5, 3,5D0,000 trees on the partnership plan. The firm is also in- terested in about as many more trees on the cooperative arrangement.
 Louisiana firms have more travelling men upon the road for them than any other city of the world of its size. This, of course, is largely due to the large number of men em- ployed by the Stark Bros. Nurseries, who furnish their men the most complete, up-to- date outfit ever issued. They are increasing their force of salesmen daily, and room for more.
