FOOT BALL.

AS the time for the great annual
Minnesota-Wisoonsin football game
draws nigh interest in the same is
reaching a fever heat. Beside decid-
ing the supremacy Of these two old
time rivals Saturdays game is the
second last game to decide the west
ern championship this year. Both
teams are thoroughly confident and 70
pick the winner is NO easy task. This
will be the first great game to be
played On Camp Randall and most
elaborate preparations are being made
to accommodate the crowds that are
expected. Advices from neighboring
cities indicate that large numbers from
each city will avail themselves of the
low railway rates to visit Madison and
to see the greatest game of football in
the west this year. An attempt is
being made to provide seats for ten
thousand people.

MITCHELL NO SILVER MAN.
He Says He Never Was-Split in the
Party May Last He Thinks.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator
John Mitchell said yesterday that the
free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 with
out the consent of any other nation
is as dead as Pharaoh. He continued:
"To the question as to whether dem
ocratic senators in favor of the gold
standard and who voted for Bryan
for legislation, vote with the free
coinage of silver senators on the Is
to l proposition, my answer is that /
do not believe they would. Speaking
for myself alone, l should oppose any
and all legislation in that direction.
l do not subscribe to the 16 to 1 doc
trine and never have done So"
AS to whether the democrats Of the
senate will support the Dingley bill or
any bill that will tend to increase the
revenues of the government and pro-
tect the treasury against an annual
deficit, MIR. Mitchell expressed the
opinion that the republicans need eX-
pect no help from democratic members
of the senate in that direction.
''It looks to me- said the senator in
conclusion, ''as though a majority of
those democrats who bolted the Chi
cago platform have gone from the
democratic party permanently. I can
see nothing in the democratic party,
as it is now organized, to bring them
back again to the party fold. 1t may
be that in time, when new issues arise
and the doctrine of Is to 1 becomes a
mere memory in the thoughts of men,
that their democratic instincts will
lead them back into the fold. AS to
that, however, the future must de-
termine.''

Judge Witherspoon has signed an order
yacating the attachment against the pro-
perty of NJ. R. Reese, made by Sheriff

And now they have dug up the record
of William L. Wilson, Cleveland's post
master general, and convicted him OF
having been friend of silver. When a
candidate for congress two years ago, Mr..
Wilson was asked the direct question by
J. Hoffmaster, a constituent, Of Molers,
Jefferson county, Va. VIM. H. Wilson,
acting as his fathers private secretary,
wrote to Hoffmaster as follows: II can
say for him (Wm. L. Wilson) that he is
not in favor of single gold standard. I
need not say to you that the only hope OF
the people for free silver lies in the sue
cess of the Democratic party. The Re-
publican party has ever, been foe to
silver, and its triumph means everlasting
death to silver.

ENGLAND WOULD FOLLOW.

An article that appeared in the London
Financial News of April 80, 1894, is just
now giving the Republican national exc
cutive committee great deal of trouble.
The London Financial News is considered
the leading financial journal in the world.
On the date mentioned it let drop some
remarks that have since been used with
telling effect by the American advoca.~S
of free coinage. The Republican execu-
tive committee was about week ago re-
duced to the expedient of declaring that
the article referred to was never published
in The News, and the Democratic execu-
tive committee had just succeeded in get
ting absolute proof to the effect that the
article is genuine. Here is what The
News had to say:
There is a plain moral in the remark
that if the United States would venture
to cut herself adrifl from Europe and
take outright to silver she would have
all America and Asia at her back, and
would command the markets of both
continents. The barrier of gold would
be more fatal than any barrier of a GUS
tom house. The bond of silver would
be stronger than any bond of free trade.
There can be no doubt about it that if
the United States were to adopt silver
basis tomorrow British trade would be
ruined before the year was out. Every
American industry would be protected
not only at home, but at every other mar
ket. Of course, the States would suffer
to certain extent through having to pay
their obligations abroad in gold but the
loss on exchange under this head would
be mere drop in the bucket compared
with the profits to be reaped from the
markets of South America and Asia, to
say nothing of Europe.
The marvel is that the United States has
not long ago seized the opportunity, and
but for the belief that the way Of England
is necessarily the way to commercial sue
cess and prosperity, undoubtedly it would
have been done long ago. Now Ameri-
cans are awakening to the fact that $50
long as they narrow their ambition to be-
coming larger England" they cannot
beat us. 1t has been piece Of luck that
it has never occurred to the Americans to
scoop us out of the worlds markets by
going to silver basis, and it might serve
us right if, irritated by the contemptuous
apathy of our government to the gravity
of the silver problem, the Americans re-
taliate by freezing out gold. 1t could ca
silly be done.

ANOTHER CYCLONE.

The vicinity of the cotton factory was
visited by another cyclone last Friday
afternoon but fortunately no serious
damage was done.
The storm came up at about 5 o'clock,
lust one week after the one mentioned in
last Wednesdays paper, almost to min
ute. There was rain, then hail, the now
familiar roaring sound, and the wind
went across the factory grounds with
great force. A number of planks were
blown off brick kiln and one of the
cottages that was in the first storm was
moved an inch or two on it's foundations.
The workmen, of course, were badly
frightened. Though familiar with the
old adage that "nghtning never strikes
twice in the same place." upon hearing
the roaring noise, they began to figure
that this rule probably does not apply to
cyclones and they hustled for cover.
From the best information that the re-
porter is able to get, the path Of the cy-
clone was about the same as that Of the
first one. Its force, however, was not
nearly so great.

OFFENSIVE PARTISANSHIP.

It was Mr.. Cleveland who first won the
applause Of the country by inveighing
against offensive partisanship on the part
of officials connected with the admins
tration in power. On several occasions
he has gone so far as to have guilty Off
cials removed from Office. But there is
now no question of the fact that the pres
ident has all along been insincere in his
protestations, and that with him, as with
many other politicians it is altogether a
matter of whose OK is gored.
In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Bryan
referred to the matter of Federal interfer-
ence with the domestic affairs of the state
as follows: sit will be noticed that,
while the United States guarantees to
every state republican form of govern
ment, and is empowered to protect each
state against invasion, it is not authorized
to interfere in the domestic affairs of any
state except upon application of the legis-
lature of the state or upon the application
of the executive when the Legislature can
not be convened"
This, it is generally understood, is de-
fense at that portion of the Chicago plat
form which is directed at Mr.. Cleveland's
military interference with the great Chi
cago railroad strike, even against the pro-
test of the governor of Illinois.
Since the publication of Mr.. Bryan's
deliverance on the subject, Judson Har-
mon, Cleveland's attorney general, has
come out in the newspapers with long
official opinion in which he undertakes
to defend the president and show that Mr..
Bryan's views in regard tSthis matter are
"even more vicious that his financial
views"
But the attorney general has made a
bad mess of it. Several constitutional
lawyers, who know more about law in
minute than Mr.. Harmon does in week.
have reviewed the United States supreme
court decisions on the subject from the
foundation of the government, and show
ed to the satisfaction of all fair minded
men that Mr.. Bryan is right and that the
opinion of the attorney general would
hardly be creditable to the most ordinary
Of pettifogging lawyers. However, it is to
be hoped that Mr.. Harmon will 60 on
with his fight. Notwithstanding his "of-

If a preacher wants to carry politics
into his pulpit, perhaps it is all right;
but he ought not to assume that he is in-
fallible. That will do all right when it
comes to matter of religious faith; but
it won't apply to politics either in the
pulpit or on the stump. So it would
seem that the Rev. Thomas Dixon, of
New York, has gotten himself into close
place. Having trampled on the econom-
ic views of member of his congrega-
ton, it seems fair that in view Of chal-
lenge like the one he has received, he
should either eat his words, or meet the
aggrieved member before and audience
and argue it out.

- We are to have another long siege of
bluster and gas an account of Corbett and
Fitzsimmons. They signed an agreement
in New Jersey last Saturday to fight each
other to finish for $4,000 side, within
90 days after December 81, next, before
the Athletic club offering the biggest
purse. Corbett has agreed to fight Thom-
as Sharkey at some date previous to
December 81, and that is why the pro-
posed fight has not been fixed to come off
sooner. AS to whether either of the men
propose to fight, is a matter of some little
doubt. Both are engaged in the show
business, and it is possible that they are
working for deadhead advertising.

crowd concentrated in the quarter in.
dicated but before Mr.. Bryan could
point out the guilty party, the train
moved off. 1t seems that there were
several pickpockets on Mr.. Bryan's
train, and that they were plying their
vocation at every stop. Mr.. Bryan
had caught on to them and made no
hesitation in trying to show them up.
At Moberly, the next station, the fel-
low who had been spotted at Sails
bury, was detected again and captured.

Board Resigns.

Board Resigns.
The members of the Charleston po-
lice commission rendered their resig-
nations to Governor Evans in body
last Monday. They gave us a reason
the fact that the state board has grant
ed so many special privileges for the
sale of liquor, that they find it impos-
sible to enforce the dispensary law.
Another reason has been assigned to
the effect that the commissioners have
been so persistently boycotted by the
people of Charleston, that their pri-
vate businesses have been all but
ruined.
