Democratic administration in its efforts
10 demonetiZe silver''-these efforts con-
sisting of recommendation by Presi-
dent Cleveland that congress should re-
peal the Bland-Allison act, precisely
Ike the recommendations made by Mr..
Cleveland's Republican predecessor,
President Arthur.
Mr.. Mckinley, as chairman of the
ways and means committee and leader
of the house in the FifIy-firSt congress,
earnestly advocated the passage of the
silver-purchase act in 1890. as better
than the Bland-AlliSon act and the next

I'VE cannot have free coinage now, ex-
cept in the manner provided in the bill.
To defeat this bill means 10 defeat all

INGALLS, ON THE SITUATION.

Ex-senator Ingalls, while in New YorE
the other day, was interviewed by a
staff correspondent of the Mail and Elk
press, which publication in being the
most radical Republican paper OF the
! great metropolis, holds TO the single
gold standard. Mr.. ingalls, opened his
| talk with the very emphatic declaration
that the west will not follow New York
on the money question. He continued
that he was not speaking without
knowledge when he asserted that the
| silver feeling in the west Is deeper,
| wider and stronger than the east real
! ICES. and that any attempt OF New
| York or the east to force gold mono
metallism into the st. Louis platform
would be followed by complications.
| Mr.. ingalls, told the Mail and Express
| that times in the west are as hard today
as at any period since the decline OF
things began, and that there never mad
been season in Kansas when farm
products were so low, land so little
sought after sales 50 few, rents so dim
inished and wages so unsatisfactory,
so that a declaration for the gold STAN
dard at st. Louis would not be listened
to in the west where everything is low
er save taxes and debts.
The entire interview was worthy the
man, being an unquestionably correct
diagnosis of the trouble. AS for the
cause of the trouble, he said the con-
traction of the circulating medium of
all the great nations, by the destruc-
ton Of the money functions Of silver
was the chief cause and that ne could
see no other explanation Of it, though
he did not offer that as a solution.
Speaking of Cleveland and his admin
istration, Mr.. Ingalls, said that his pol
icies are destructive. He has no con-
structive capacity at all. He has not
attempted to replace the systems he has
endeavored to destroy. He overthrow
the tariff and destroyed our revenues.
He cOerced a reluctant congress into
the stOppage Of the coinage of silver,
anu hC hEeS iSAI Jul 1hu pdA ait ECU
and our monetary system in chaos.
His only method for supplying revenue
ami carrying on the government is by
the sale of the obligations Of the coun-
try. 1t requires no unusual talent or
ability to borrow money when you
have the collatera Yet we have never
before been compelled to resort to that
method for raising revenue in times of
peace, except when Buchanan, another
Democratic president, did it, just be-
fore the rebellion.

YET IT IS ALL MYSTERY.

The skepticiSm of the times, which
seems mere than of any period of the
Christian era, seems lately TO be run
ming into mysticism. To reject Chris
| tianity for agnOSticiSm is to leave the
individual a fOundering victim, with
no desire satisfied, no hope, no any
thing. The spiritual man calls for
something beyond the physical, higher
than the mental. And so the average
skeptic who fails TO embrace or accept
the promise of life immortal as prom
Used by Christ, flies naturally to the
mystic, Of which there are numerous
orders and grades. The theoSOphistS
have been holding a convention in New
York during the past week. Devotees
of the science delve in spiritualism, Oc-
| cultiSm, hypnOtiSm, meSmeriSm and
all Of the other supernatural "isms" in
the catalogue. They believe in reincar-
nation or pre-eXiStence and a score or
more of other peculiar things which
seem better suited to the dreamy Or
iental than to the matter-of-fact and
ever-prOgreSSive resident of the Occi-
dent. They believe in the existence of
the soul and its survival after the dis
solution of the body. and in that partic-
ular respect are far ahead Of the Chris
tian churches in general; because they
claim to have indisputable evidence
that the spirit lives and thinks after
the body is in the grave.

people in the world belong to the Theo-

A eoLpBUG FEVER CASE.

Eastern Democratic papers are still
harping on Carlisle's Chicago speech,
and one of the yaller-dog species, the
Philadelphia Record, has the imperti-
nence to say that if Carlisle's speech
could be put in the hands of every voter
in the land there would De an end of
the cheap money heresy. There has
been no serious attempt to answer it.
Its positions are impregnable.
The above is not only the delirium of
the yellow fever-which the editor
seems to have in its most virulent and
hopeless fOrm-but he betrays deplor-
able ignorance of the state of public
feeling with regard to the monetary
question among all classes in the south
and west. Change of habitation might
do this fever-stricken patient good.
Travel westward young man, and after
you have crossed the AileghanieS
mingle with the farmers, mechanics,
labOrers and all other classes, and you
will not only discover that a greater
portion of them have read Mr.. Car
isles speech, but that the majority of
those who have read it, including Dem
ocrats, decidedly and logically differ
from him, and that their faith in free
silver remains mistaken. Come TO
Kansas, my boy; where the sunlight of
freedom resplendently shines, and in
mi
the scales will fall from your eyes, and
wend your way among the tillerS of
the soil and ask each one Of them what
he thinks of CarliSle's Chicago speech,
for they have nearly all read it, espe-
cially the bimetalliSts.-andy you will be
surprised TO find how few, how very
few, agree with the theory of the turn
coat Kentuckian. And you will also
have revealed to you the fact that our
farmers, smarting under the mono
metallic infliction of unrequited labor,
are terribly in earnest and firm set in
their determination to wage war at the
ballot box until they have thrown off
the yoke of eastern capitalistic domin-
alton which has so long controlled and
directed the financial affairs of our gov
eminent 10 the concentration of wealth
in the hands of the few. Carlisle's
speech will prove a sorry campaign
document, in the way of winning con-
verts to the single gold standard cause,
among the cramped and depressed agri-
cultural and laboring classes of the
southern and western states, where
they are painfully conscious OF what
ais them and know full well the cause.
Carlisle's speech was answered times
without number in every country school
house in the state of Kansas, years be-
fore it was delivered to an imaginary
collection Of workingmen at Chicago,
for it is the same old story revamped
and retouched with little extra high
official varnish. The tide of free silver
is in high, full flow and all the cunning
and SOphistry of gOld-hogs cannot stay
its onward progress.

CHILDREN OF CRIMINALS.

A striking feature of the report for
1895 of the Boston board of OverSeers
of the poor is the comment on aid given
to families of criminals. Among the
cases cited is that of q man who had
served forty eight sentences, and of an
other who had served thirty-fOur. Each
had families, which, upon each case of
conviction, became charge upon the
city. The overseers are of the opin-
ion that some radical treatment should
be given such men. They suggest, as
one measure, somewhat longer terms
of confinement, thus giving a man a
chance to reform and his family an OPP
pOrtunity to adjust itself to self-sup-
port. The board also suggests that per-
haps the men might be put to some re-
munerative labor while in prison, put
ting aside foundation for a fund from
which their families could receive par
tial support. As matters now stand,
there is double charge upon the pub
lie, for supporting the man while in
prison, and relieving his family out
side. The board deems the effect of
the present system bad III every way
