to have broken that of the famous Jane
Cakebread, has just died in London
This wretched wreck of humanity,
shortly before the end. was sent to the
workhouse on her 2SOth conviction. She
was only 56, and it is calculated that
probably two-thrds of the last thirty
wears Of her life was spent in the Jail or
in the workhouse. Punishment in her
case failed entirely; she was no sooner
out of Jail than she was in again, spend
ing her life between the public house
and the prison cell. What she cost the
country no one knows. but the amount
must have been considerable.

A Stem Toward Fiat Money,

81 will ask you to remember the
fundamental facts in this controversy.
1t is really a fight for honest money
and honest currency against the de-
basement of the currency and the i'm
pairment Of credit. Free silver is but
a step toward fiat money. At bottom
the Bryanites are hostile to the. men
who save, to the men who put their
money in the savings banks, who are
investors in any form Of productive
CAPITAL, whether bonds OF real estate
or crossroads stores. Every dema-
gosue in the land, every man who
hates with venomous hatred the we'll
TODD because they are well-to-do, the
thrifty because they are thrifty and
have worked ard saved, are arrayed
against us.
But free silver is not the worst thing
in the Chicago platform. The platform
contains an attack Oh the supreme
court, and therefore upGn the main de-
pendence of our liberties. 1t contains
a demand that the laws shall not be
enforced in certain ),,tinGencieS. This
means free riot. and it is fitting that
with the demand for free silver should
so the demand for tree riots. The men
who are ready to strike down the cur
rency Of the country are ready to strike
down at the same time that safeguard
of our liberties which we have received
from our forefathers in the constitu-
tion-the supreme cOurt.-TheOdore

bows of rhetoric just bring him
down to the level of every day
life by asking if he can impugn
any one of these plain statements
Mr.. Bayan said in q recent
speech that if elected president he
could do nothing for free coinage
until Congress had passed a bill
for him to sign. Very true. But
all the same his election would
bring the country plump to the
silver standard. without any action
on the part of Congress. As ex-
President Harrison said in his
speech in New York, the President
of the United States, through his
secretary of the treasury, has pow
or under existing laws to bring
about this result at any time by
simply exercising the technical op-
ton of the government under the
law to pay out treasury notes,geeen
backs or interest'on public debt in
silver. This, MI, Bryan contends,
the government ought to do. If
elected. of course, he would do just
that thing. Everybody understands
that this would be one Of the first
consequences of his election, and
that,whether Congress enacted a
free coinage law or not,the country
by the simple exercise of this ex-
ecutive power would be plunged at
one smash to the silver basis. Nor
should we have to wait for his in
augeration for this catastrophe,
with the full knowledge of what
this portended,the announcement
of his election would be promptly
followed by the most disastrous
panic ever witnessed in this
country. All gold would at once
go into hiding. Every dollar of it
in the treasury would be drawn
out of it by the presentation of
greenbacks and treasury notes at
the subtreasuries. When the gold
was exhausted the government
would be unable to replace it. It
could not sell it's bonds for gold at
any premium, for no one would
trust government pledged in adj
vance to the reputation of half it's
obligations. We should either have
to cease paying our obligations at
all or to pay them in silver. Either
would be an act Of reputation and
insolvency. We might have to
wait long for free coinage of silver
at the ratio OF 10 to l; but we
would not have to wait for the sill
YER standard. It would descend
upon the country the day of his
election like an avalanche, crush
ing and burying the business and
industrial interests of the country
in common ruin. Bryan, there
fore, stands in his own person as an
incarnate portent of DISASTER

Since the full returns from Ar
kansas the Bryan papers have not
been SO anxious to compare that
election with the one in Maine.
AS compared with 1892 the Demo
cratic loss in Arkansas was 10000
and the plurality was 1900 less
than in that year. This, too, in
the face Of a loss of 10000 in the
in Populist vote. In Maine the
Democrats lost $1,000 over 1892
and the Republicans gained 10000.

WASHINGTON, Jau. l2 -According to
the best information here the dispatch
from Rome to the London Chronicle,
stating that the pope, through Cardinal
Sutolli, had made semi-oilicial offer
TO President Cleveland to act as
arbitrator between Great Britain
and the United States has
no foundation in fact Cardinal
Satolli has no diplomatic standing in
the United States. lie has ecclesias-
teal duties, but no secular functions.
The state department could not re-
ceive him In any diplomatic affair
without breaking off relations with
Baron Fava, the Italian am
bassador A second point of OBJ
vious weakness in the story lies
In the assumption that there is some.
thing to be arbitrated upon between
the United States and Great Britain,
whereas the contention Is between
Great Britain and Venezuela. The
whole story is one OF those which
might be true, but 1t is not true.
