What Gov.rnor AItgeId Saws.

IL a recent interview concerning the
campaign in Illinois Governor Altgeld
said:
I'VE had this state won a month ago.
I understand now that our Republican
friends concede my election as gov
ernor; and if they do that it can but
mean that Mr.. Bryan will also carry
the state.'
The governor also thinks that both
he and Mr. Bryan will carry Cook
county. And in this connection he
gives full credit to the splendid work
which is being done by the silver Re-
publicans who have organized over 170
Bryan and Altgeld clubs in that city
alone

THE BATTLE FOR pRosEcuroR.

1t is now an open secret that hun
dreds of the best Republicans in Stark
county will vote against Charles @.
Upham for prosecuting attorney. They
consider him an unsafe man to elect to
that position by reason of his assoca-
tions He is not the sort of a man that
would enforce the law against the
criminal classes in this county. Murder.
ers, perjurers and burglars would no
doubt be prosecuted under his administra-
ton, but the dives, bawdy houses and
gambling dens in all their unmixed nasti.
ness would be allowed to run wide open
because he would look upon these hell
born institutions as necessary evils. The
battle that is being made by Mr.. Upham
to be elected prosecuting attorney is one
Of appalling audacity. Knowing that
the churches are arrayed against him
throughout the county and that many
of the best mothers, wives and daugh-
ters are organized to defeat him, he is
making battle that is without parallel
in the history Of Stark county politics.
The latest trump card that he played
was to palm himself of as q reformer.
He can play the hypocrite to perfection.
Whenever he hears Of man who refuses
to votefor him because of certain charges
made against him by this journal and
which up to this time have not been con.
tradicted by any Republican paper in
the county, he sends for him and tells
him that he has reformed and that in
the future he intends to be God-fearing
christian. Imagine for moment
Chsrley Upham leading christian life.
Let the people of Stark county re-
member that the contest for prosecuting
attorney between Charles G. Upham and
Atlee Pomerene is simply personal one
between men and the best man, should
be elected regardless of their political
affiliations. 1t is not question of free
silver or gold standard, high tariff or
low tariff No political principle is in
volved whatever. 1t is simply ques-
ton whether the good people OF Stark
county shall stand together and elect a
man whose public record and private
character is stainless, and who will carry
out the law without fear or favor
or whether a man shall be elected
to this important position who
is besmeared with moral turpitude, and
who will simply wink at violations OF
the law.

MATT QUAY HEDGES.

Elect Mckinley, and wlthln lU
months tlis country will take up the
subject of bimetallism, and will impress
upon other nations the necessity of an
international agreement"
SENATOR Nj. S. Quay.
What will the gold bugs of New York,
who forced the single gold standard
plank into the Republican platform, say
to this statement. The Republican man
ayers and the Eastern gold press have
flooded the country with literature de.
claring against silver coinage in any
form. They have not advanced a single
argument in favor of silver. Instead
they have attempted to show that any
thing that squinted at the larger use of
silver whereby the 53.cent dollar would
become 100-cent dollar, would be in
violation of every principle of honor and
bring disgrace upon the people of the
United States. They have threatened
disaster and rebellion if law for the
free coinage of silver was passed, and by
intimidation and force, and the use of
monstrous corruption funds, are deter.
mined to prevent fair expression Of
the sentiments of the people at the
polls.
Quay knows that the present compo.
sition of the United States Senate, will
prevent the passage of anylaw that will
in the name of protection, tax the peo,
pie for the benefit OF the trusts and
combines.
That after ten months or any other
time, the Republican party will take up
the subject of international agreement,
is simply a campaign lie. Quay has not
the remotest idea that vita England's
control of the finances of the United
States, that she will allow the Republi-
can party to change existing conditions
whereby England profits by our disaster
and distress.
How about an international agree
ment? Quay and every other leading
Republican of the United States knows
the situation. England will not join in
an international agreement. Three
American commissions have been sent
to Europe to arrange a bimetallic sys.
TEN. England has refused to abide by
any agreement, and Germany will not if
England will not. There are two bill.
lions of English capital loaned in Amer
lea. Every year for twenty years the
appreciation of that has been going on
by the decrease in prices of American
products. II is to England's advantage
to retain the gold standard, for by it
she robs every producing nation Of one
half the value of theii products. Will
she abandon such snap as this so long
as she owns the John Shermans, Grover
Clevelands and Pierpoint Morgans Of
this country. Matt Quay knows full
we'll that an international agreement is
an impossibility, and he knows that this
country will never be put on BIZ
metallic basis until she does it independ.
emily of all other nations. Matt Quay
knows that the election of Bryan is a
foregone conclusion, and in his anxiety
to stem the tide that will bring an over
whelming defeat, he proposes to try to
again fool the people with a promise
that he knows cannot be fulfilled.

Some of our readers have inquired for
some public utteranoes of Major McKin-
ley in favor of bimetallic standard
The following is taken from volume 21
of the Congressional Record, page 9, 447:
Said William Mckinley, speaking in the
House of Representatives on June "a,
1890:
II am for the largest use of silver in
the currency of the country. l would
not dishonor it; would give it equal
credit and honor with gold. 1 would

General Sherwood is the Democratic
candidate for Congress from this district
and stands more particularly identified
with the interests of labor than any gen.
tleman ever presented to the electors of
the three counties. His services as for
mer member of that body of national
law makers, in behalf of American
working men, have borne excellent
fruit, and the records of Congress testify
to his honest zeal in promoting their
cause. e.-Youngstown Vindicator.

John ]. Ingalls, said in the Senate,
February 10, 1878: "No people in a
great emergency ever found a faithful
ally in gold. 1t is the most oowardly and
treaoherous Of all metals. 1t makes no
treaty that 1t does not break. 1T has no
friend whom it does not sooner or later
betray. Armies and nayies are not
maintained by gold. In times of panic
and calamity, shipwreok and disaster, 1t
becomes the agent and minister Of ruin
No nation ever fought great war by
the aid of gold. On the contrary, in the
crisis of the greatest peril it becomes an
enemy more potent than the foe in the
field; but when the battle Is won and
peace has been secured, gold reappears
and claims the frnit Of the victory. In
our own civil war 1t is doubtful II the
gold of New York and London did not
work us g-eater injury than the powder
and lead and iron Of the rebels. 1t was
the most invinoible enemy of the public
credit. Gold paid no soldier nor sailor.
IL refused the national obligations. 1t
was worth most when our fortunes were
lowest. Every defeat gave Ii increased
value. 1t was In open alliance with our
enemies the world over, and all It's ener-
giles were evoked for our destruction.
But, as usual, when danger has been
averted ana the victory secured, gold
swaggers 10 the front and asserts the
supremacy"

Foreigners can have all the silver bull
lion that they may bring coined at the
United States mints into their own coins.
They can purchase silver bullion In the
United States at half price for that pur-
pose. But American citizens must ask
the Queen of England and the
Empress of India before ne is allowed the
same privilege. Shame on the lIo-called
independent American citizen who per-
mits such practices.

How does the Republican bimetallist
expect to secure silver coinage from a
party whose press and members are
predicting the death of the free coinage
craze on November 8? Bimetallism means

and silver. That means the free coinage
of both metals at q given ratio Can
there be the death of free coinage by in

CALIFORNIA FRUIT PRODUCTION

California we'll sustains her claim OF
being the greatest fruit producing state
in the union. In 1885 our expectation
of summer fruits did not exceed
100000 pounds Nine years later we
sent 179OOO0OO pounds of fresh fruits
to the markets of the east. According
to Z. L. Goodsell of New York, the
largest importer and dealer in fruits
in this country. the United States,
which then consumed 30, 0,OO0, 900 pounds
annually, imported, during 1885, from
Spain, 21,000,000 pounds Of raisins.
That year California's production of
raisins had reached only 100000
pounds. In 1894 the importations of
raisins fell to 100000 pounds and
California's production rose to 88,OOO,-
600 pounds. The increase in nine
years of total consumption by this
country of 100000 to 102,O0O.0O0
pounds of raisins was largely due to the
decline in the retail price. Mr.. Goodsell
is also authority for the statement that
this country consumes 65,O0O,OOO
pounds of prunes annually, which is
about one pound per capita. The fg-
ures for last year are not at hand, but
pounds of prunes in this country, the
importations dropping from 57,0OO,0O0
pounds in 1885 to 9,00O,000 in 1894.
Last year the price Of prunes ruled
lower than ever before, and, as in the
portionately increased, despite the in
dustrial depression throughout the
country. Under normal industrial
conditions tbio onnntru mill oonouvpo
1O0,000,000 pounds of prunes annually,
provided the price be kept in reach Of
the masses. The California prune last
year practically drove the foreign out
of the domestic markets, which it will
doubtless hold in the future. In the cit
rus fruit contest the situation is some-
what different. The country uses 90
600 carloads of oranges and 5000 car
loads of lemons annually. California
will not furnish half this amount this
year, and Florida will contr4 butte but
an insignificant supply. OF lemons we
will not supply 1000 carloads, that in-
dustry in this state being but in its in
fancy. Within five years, however, it
seems that California; output will not
fall much short of the present demand.
In that time the entire orange acreage
in this state will be in bearing, and it
is certainly extensive enough to pro.
duce 10000 carloads Of fruit 1t is not
likely that in this generation lemon
production in California will overtske
the ever-incressing demand. We shall
soon drive out the foreign orange as
we are driving other foreign fruit from
the markets of the United States, but
unless the lemon belt shows more elas-
ticity, it is not probable that we will
ever shut out the foreign lemon entire

The Duchy Of Kent

posed to bestow upon the Princess
Beatrice, is as old as the Conquerer.
Odo, bishop Of Bayeux, the brother of
William of Normandy, received the
earldom of Kent few months after
Senlac. The title did. in fact, exist in
the older England, and it was an earl
of Kent who said to Lear,
My life never held but as pawn
To wage against thy enemies; nor fear to
lose it,
Thy safety being the motive.

sacrificed in the cause Of science.
Even the final and successful effort
was made with no assurance that the
camera might not hold the picture of q
dead man. Though in measure satis-
fed that the process was one by which
the brain could be photographed with
out risk of life, it may be stated that
the experimenter selected himself as
his subject that no other life might be
endangered.
George Francis Train had consented
to sit, but the doctor finally decided
not to permit him to do go. As a mat
ter of act the success of the expert
ment was no less in that the operation
was without sensation than in the re-
production of the brain picture.
So far as the use Of the apparatus
was concerned the doctor consented to
