GOLD BUG CHEEK,

The irish Standard has been favored
with a circular letter from the Reform
Club Committee ON Sound Currency, in
New York, which sets torth in seductive
phrase that it is in the field to educate
the people to the principles of sound
money. The committee says it expects
to take up at once the work left eff Just
before election" and sit will endeavor
not only to decrease the number OF free
coinage advocates. but to increase the
number of those who favor better bank
ing and currency laws" In order to
bring about this beautiful state Of af-
fairs it proposes to furnish during the
winter and spring page of sound mon
ey plates every three weeks free of cost,
except that the recipient shall Pay the
transportation charges. The gold bug
speeches of Carlisle and Schurz at Chica-
go, McCleary in congress, and Judge AL
dredge at Atlanta, will also be furnished
ON the same terms.
The circular starts out with the old
familiar cry that the people "are unable
to see that by voting to repudiate hon
estly incurred debts they are cursing
themselves, their state and their coun-
try" and that there is great need of
education on the fundamental prin-
ciples of money and currency" The
statement is also made in effect that the
people are deluding themselves by be-
1ieving chat more money Of any kind
will bring about prosperity"
Such a circular and such proposition
need little comment. It speaks for itself
and speaks boldly: When Bryan and
his adherents to the cause of silver gave
out to the world that the fight would be
continued upon practically the same
lines as during the recent campaign, the
gold standard people denounced the idea
as an unworthy one. 1t was argued by
them that now the people had settled
the currency question its further agita-
ton by the losing party would be wrong,
but here they are themselves boldly and
Indignantly keeping up the fight and
in truth, they have need to do SO if they:
expect to make any showing worth the
name four years hence.
It is the same old cry-the less money
you have the; richer you are. It is q,
dastardly lie that the advocates Of free
coinage ever desired in the remoteat de-

prompted them, though "courting," as it

Referring to the last clause in the

why the editor should thus give himself

Walter Wellman recently wrote IN the
Chicago Times-Herald: Mention of
Mr.. Hanna as the advance agent of the

of Mr. Reeds bright sayings. A few
days ago the speaker was in converse

lican program. One of the party said
Mr.. Hanna was here to represent Pres
ident-elect Mckinley in arranging pol
icy for the future. Mr.. Mckinley may

marked Mr. Reed, in his dry, drawing
way, but so far he appears only to have
brought his sample case with him."

'Teddy" Hale, who won the long-dis-
lance bicycle race in New York recently,
was born in Templepatrick County An
trem, Ireland, on May 80, 1864. He
stands five feet ten and a half inches, and
weighs 161 pounds. On the bicycle he is
simply a wonder. He has won more
than 500 prizes since his career began in
1882. In this connection it should be
mentioned that it was an Irishman who
invented the pneumatic tire, which was
first introduced in Dublin.

SETTLING A BET.

The quiet of the room in which the an
swers to-queries editor sat was disturbed
by the entrance Of two half grown boys.
One of them pulled off his hat and adj
dressed him:
'Me and this Teller have made bet" he
said, land we've agreed to leave it to you.
He bets that if all the turkeys that were
EFT last Thanksgiving was placed in lire
they would reach around the world, and
bet they wouldn't. Who's LOST
: :'You have, my SON. answered the man
in the chair. "They might be placed a
mile apart and they would still be i'll
line, you know"
AS they turned and went out of the room
the boy who had acted as spokesman was
seen to hand small coin over to the other
with Great reluctance and distinctly heard
say:
! ."Well, can lick you, anyhow
! s.Bet you nickel on that, too" replied
the other boy Chicago Tribune.

And now the Republicans will help
the silver men by putting protective
tariff upon that metal-a tariff that will
equal the difference between it's bullion
and coinage value. So it appears after
all that the value of silver can be raised
by legislation, and yet this was holly
denied by gold bugs during the last cam
paign. But it won't work-this proposed
silver tariff Nobody is going to be
fooled by such scheme, and it is a

LORD DUFFERIN AT BELFAST.

Lord Dufferin has always been favor
tie with the men of Belfast, says the
Canadian Freeman. And justly so; for,
as an fisherman, he reflects the very
greatest honor on his native north land,
and through it, on all Ireland. At a ban
quet rendered the noble lord, vino always
holds so firm a place in the hearts of
Canadians, on his return from Paris
to Ireland, delivered to very distin-
guished company of Ulstermen assem-
bled in Belfast under the presidency Of
the lord mayor, very powerful and
comprehensive discourse. His theme
was the empire itself; a theme fitted to
his lucid mind and ample gifts of states
mamnship and diplomacy. In his intro
ductory remarks, Lord Dufferin; refer
ring to the services of Irishmen to the
empire, had this to say:
II may add that, while pursuing my
career through its various stages, I have
derived no small satisfaction from the
fact of it's exe1nplifying, as have done
those of many ADLER men than myself,
such as Lord Mayo, Lord Lawrence,
Lord Wolseley, Lord Roberts, and dozens
of others, both from the north and from
the south, with what generous facility
every post to which man can honorably
aspire up to the greatest within the gift
of the crown is placed within reach of
any Irishman who is anxious to devote
his humble talents to the service of the
queen and her dominions. (Cheers.)"
Lord Dufferin's views on the question
of home rule are not, it is to be regretted,
sufficiently advanced to have permitted
his saying that were Ireland in possess
sion of her own legislature, her sons
would in greater numbers, and with
greater efficiency, be found ready to do
service to the sovereign OF the empire.
It is now but very small part of Ire
land from which Britain draws such dis
tlnguished men as the noble lord enum-
crates. How, If that list were amplified
and frightened, could all Ireland be called
into requisition. Space forbids our fol-
lowing the illustrious British diplomat
through his marvellous discourse, mar
vellous for it's lucidity Of thought and
power of expression. He discussed Eng
lands appropriately on the continent, but
confessed himself unable to assign an
adequate cause, for SO deep-seated, so
widespread and clearly expressed feeling.

New York, Oct. 9.-The Herald special
from Panama says: Guayaquii aGvices
state tina, three fourths Of that city was
reduced to ashes by the fire, which ragged
for twcnt y-fuur hours, sweeping everything
III its path. !?
1t is estimated that the financial loss to
the city Will run far up into the millions.
Some reports estimate it at over $50, ,0OO,-
900.
Many lives were lost. Just how many 1t
is impossible to say as yet, and 35 900 per-
sons are homeless. Two thousand houses,
including every bank in the city, of which
there were five, were burned. The custom
house, thcaters and many other public
holdings We're also swept away by the
flames. This Included everything, from
Aguirre street To Las Penas, the entire bust
ness portion of the city.
Practically all the grocery and supply
stores are gone, and thousands of residents
are homeless and hungry, swarmed in the
streets and in the neighboring woods. 1t
is impossible from the present food supply
in and near Qua yaquil TO supply the suffer
ers, and until assista nee reaches them from
other cities in Ecuador the suffering Will be
intense.
Coming as it did al midnight, the flames
destroyed many lives before those who
were asleep could be warned of the i'm
pending danger, and though ii is impossible
TO estimate tile number of dead, the figures
Will, NJ necessity, he large.
Among the thirty-five thousand homeless
ones WHO fill the charred streets the suf-
fcring is great. Not only is the food sup
ply extremely low. but the fresh water
supply has become exhausted, largely by
the efforts OF the firemen to extinguish the
flames. Now that the fire is out, the air
is filled with a Sitting dust and cinders and
ashes, which adds greatly TO sufferings
from thirst
The fire started in 4 small dry-goods
store. 1t Is believed that this store was
fired by incendiaries. The police have made
several arrests so far, and the people are so
wrought up that numerous threats to lynch
or burn the prisoners a the stake have been
made. Business in the meantime has been
entirely suspended, and every effort is di-
rccted toward relieving the distress of
the sufferers.
