ing silver dollars In circulation. when
their bullion value was greater than
their coin value; proposition, which,
il it be reversed, would apply with
equal force to gold dollars were free
silver coinage adopted Ii is worthy
of note, too, that Mr.. Keliay pointed
out that all the opposition the bill re-
ceived emanated from owners of silver
bullion who were making enormous
sums by having their bullion coined
into half dollars, two of which con-
tanned but 95 cents worth of silver. It
is the same class who wish now to
''grow fat and greedy" to quote Mr..
Kelley's words, by coming their Scent
bullion into 100-cent dollars, only the
''fat and greedy" ones of that day were
content to rob "Uncle Sam" of } per
cent, while the silver kings of to-day,
both fatter and greedier, demand AZ
per cent.
When the bill again went to the SEN
ate, on January IL, 1873, Mr.. Hoop
er's amendment, providing for the
coinage of silver dollars of reduced
weight, was stricken out, Mr.. Stewart
being present, presumably awake and
in possession of his senses, for he took
part again in the debate. The House
failing to agree, the bill went to COM
mittee of conference, and the House
amendment was stricken out. The bill
was signed by the President on Feb
ruary Il, 1873, after it had been before
Congress and the public for nearly
three years.
During five sessions of Congress the
bill was before the Finance Committee
of the Senate and the Coinage Com
mittee of the House. 1t was repeated
ly read in full in both houses. Eleven
different times it was printed in full,
with amendments, and twice more in
the reports Of the Deputy Controller of
the Currency. The Senate debates on
the bill, which was not discussed, oc-
cupy sixty-six columns of 1.-THE Con-
gressional Globe" Senator Stewart,
who says it was smuggled through
without discussion, contributing fair
share of the talk. In the House the
debates on this undiscussed bill spread
over seventy-eight columns Of ''The
Giobe.n
a free-silver speech, with denuncia-
tions of the "Crirle of 1872, +" eliminat-
ed, would be insipid and pointless. If
the oft-repeated and solemnly assever-
ated story of the ''crime" be untrue,
what part of the silver tale of fiwoe can
be believed? If the "crime" was no
"crime," but perfectly proper aud
altogether necessary piece of legisla-
ton, fully understood and concurred
in by the Congress that discussed and
passed it, what shall be said of all the
free-silver arguments which each aud
every one of them depend for their
value on the "crime" being really u
,'crime ?'' Yet, bryan and Stewart,
and all the big and little moutheFs and
platitudinarians to the contrary not
withstanding, the records Of Congress
show that In the story OF 'The Crime
of 1873" the ratio of truth TO falsehOod
is not even as to l6.

The World Has Waited a
Thousand Years for This.

So writes a happy man fresh from the
Slough of Despond.
Well, the discovery has been proclaimed.
but men are slow to believe.
The way is open TO inquire, TO investigate.
Why viii not every man do so!
There is a simple way to cure at home all
those baneful effects of the sins of youth and
the excuses Of later years which blast the
lives of multitudes Of men.
There is way TO regain strength lost By
disease, overwork and worry.
A way TO secure and retain the abilities
sacrificed to dissipation-to ''be glad again
after suffering an atonement."
A way to repair drains on the system that
sap the vitality.
A way to replace nervousness, dread and
dependency with courage and self-respect.
A way TO give full strength, development
and tone to every portion of the body.
A way to remove every obstacle TO happy
and fruitful married life.
All this is clearly shown in little medical
work recently published. 1t is not a book
for general circulation, being purely medical
and scientific and for men only who need adj
vice and aid.
How to get it: Write TO the Erie Medical
Company, Niagara Street, Buffalo, N. Y, say
you read the article in this paper, and ask
them to send you the book called Complete
Manhood, and the Way to Attain It" They
will send one copy entirely free, in plain
sealed wrapper, TO any man who writes for
it in good faith.

THEY DID JERRY UP
Barnes of Pratt Did Not Recognize His
Proxies or his Wishes

Hutchinson, Kan, May 13.-The Pop
uliSt Seventh district congressional
committee adjourned late last evening
after a stormy session.
The real question at issue was Jerry
Simpson and anti-Simpson and the
committee was about equally divided.
Jerry had written the chairman to call
the convention for the 23d OF June ait
Wichita. j. c. Starr, Of Scott City,
who led the Simpson forces came 10 the
meeting with a pocket full OF proxies.
Chairman Barnes ruled that proxies
were not allowed and the wrath of the
Simpsonites was exceedingly great.
but it did not melt the stcny-hearred
Barnes of Pratt.
There were seventeen members of the
committee present. The representa-
tiveS from Reno, Sedgwick, Sumner.
Kingman, Pratt and Barber (Jerry's
own county, were the hot fighters
against Simpson, but they discovered
they needed one more vote to give them
majority. Committeeman A A. Do
erTer, of Pawnee, wa nted the conVen-
ton held at Laqned The anti-SimD-
son crowd offered 10 support Larned If
he would vote with them. The deal
was made and the goods delivered. The
vote was a tie and Chairman Barnes
cast the decisive vote against Simpson.
The ants then sent the convention TO
Larned and named August Sth as the
date for the convention. This IS after
both the Populist and Democratic state
conventions, ana viii give them time TO

MUSIC ANn nRAMA.
hon: JAYUs CAESAR.

HON. JA1CS CAESAR"
On next Monday night az the opera
house there win be given an enfertaiu-
ment something OUT or the ordinary.
1t is a burlesque on Shakespeare's trag-
edy of Julius Caesar" and Is entitled
Hon. Jayus Caesar"
The cast Is made up of twenty-five
jolly, rolliclsing alumni OF the High
school who viii present this in the most
ridiculous aud laugnable manner possi-
bic. Unless you can laugh heartily
without physical injury. stay at home.
There are several features in this that
have never been attempted by amateurs
or professionals. such as Caesars ghc%,
flying in mfd-air. and the transmigra-
tion Of his body into that of a soldier
in The last act. This Is all done before
the very eyes OF the audience without
any trick4boxes. ropes, springs or cabi-
nets with false bottoms.
Another c0mmendable feature is the
popular prices at which the play is 10
be given II is rarely that an amateur
show can see the necessity OF asking
less than a dollar to see their play, but
in this you get more for your money
than any circus ever seen.
Remember It IS one night only. Mon
day, May Is, 1895. Secure your tick
cts early, for the rush will be greater
than at the big ten cent show recently
given here.
