THE MooNsHlNER OF FACT.
Vastly Different from the Wild Creatures
Pictured to- the Reading Public.

Pictured to the Reading Public.
He is neither a bandit nor highway
man, a disturber of the peace, nor. in
respect to fOrmularies other than the
revenue statutes, law-breaker. Least
Of all, perhaps. is he desperado.
Within month of the present writing,
traveller on one of the Tennessee rail-
ways entered the smoking car OF the
train.
In the rear seat sat an officer in
charge of 'covey" of moonshiners
flushed by him on the mountain the
night before. There were IL in the
party; they had yielded without resist
ance to one man; and-most singular
circumstance of all, in the south-the
deputy had not found it necessary to
put them in irons.
At their trial the members of tn s
party will doubtless plead guilty TO a
n an, though a little hard swearing
would probably clear half of them;
they will beg for mercy or for light
sentences; and those of them who
promise amendment will most Likely
never be again brought in on the SAME
charge, for the mountaineer is prone to
keep his promises, amendatory or
otherwise.
A venerable judge, in whom judicial
severity is tempered by generous az
mixture of lowing kindness and mercy,
and whose humane decisions have made
his name a word to conjure with among
the jewellers in the waste places, tells q
story which emphasizes the promise
ter.
A hardened sinner of the stills, whose
first and second offenses were already
recorded against him, was once again
brought to book by the vigilance of the
revenue men.
AS an old offender, who had neither
promised nor repented, it was likely to
go hard with him; and he begged earn
estly, not for liberty, but for a com
mutation of his sentence which would
send him to jail instead of the peniten-
tlary, promising that so long as the
judge remained upon the bench he
would neither make nor NEEDLE with
Illicit whisky.
He won his case, and was sent to i'll
for term of II months. This was in
summer, and six months later, when
the first SHOWS began to powder tie
bleak SUBMITS of Chilhowee, the judge
received a letter from the convict. It
was a supplemented petition for a
'furlough" of ten days, pathetic and
eloquent in its primitive English ard
quaint misspelling.
Would the good judge let him off for
just ten days? Winter was coming On,
and the wife and children were alone in
the cabin on the mountain. with no one
to make provision for their wants. He
would not overstay the time, and lie
would certain shore" come back and
surrender himself
His petition was granted, and, true to
his word, the mountaineer returned on
the tenth day, and gave himself up to
the sheriff. He served the remainder
Of his sentence, and, after his release,
kept his pledge so long as the judge re-
mained on the bench. = Lippincott's

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL FINANoAr

Here is the financial plank of the Re-
publican national platform just as it
passed the st. Louis convention:
The Republican party is unreservedly
for sound money (Mr. Cleveland's
idea), 1t caused the enactment of the
law providing for the resum ption of
specie payments in 1879. Since then
every dollar has been as good as gold
We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur.
rency or impair the credit of our coun-
try.
We are, therefore, opposed to the
free CO mage of silver except by an in
ternational agreement with the lead
ing commercial nations of the earth.
Gold and silver prior to 1873 was
coined from and without discrimina-
tion at the legal ratio of 16 to l, and
the one coin was just as good as the
other for all debts public and private,
and no charge or insinuation was ever
made 10y anyone that it was n debhsed
currency, until after the Republican
congress debased the silver dollar In
1873 in the interest of the gold sharks
and at the behest of England
II will be observed by the careful
and the thoughtful that the clause
denying free coinage to silver admits
that silver is good thing for the
country, when it can be obtained by
international agreement. II it is u
good thing for the people Of this eoun-
try with its 10000, 900 inhabitants, is
it not cowardly to delay 1t until Eng
land gives the word, or is it subter-
fuge to delude the people until the
gold standard system can be irrevoca-
bly, fixed upon the country?
When in 1878 the Republican con
gress debased silver it at the same
time debased the prices Of the product
Of American labor, and this financial
plank proposes TO keep this product
dcbased that the gold standard sharks
may continue in the fleeing business

THAT ROTTEN coNvENTIoS


The Marshol Record comments as
follows upon the recent Republican
county convention.
There has long been wall in Logan
county that what Guthrie with the
help of the niggers) don't hog in the
way of candidates isn't worth going
after Last Thursday's convention
was a repetition of old tactics, and in
consequence half of the delegates re-
turned 10 their homes downcast and
disgusted. Many are in rebellion aud
assert with much vehemGnce that the
ticket can never be elected.
Had the country been pressing the
claims Of weak and incompetent men
there might be an excuse for the abor-
tion brought forth. NJ. Crocker
was the conntry's pride for sheriff, and
he was ruthlessly slain for an expo.
liceman whom the city could best SON
troll
Frank T. Kincaid possessed eminent
fitness for the Office OF register
of deeds aud his location at
Mulhall rightly gave him the expecta-
ton of better treatment. But Guth-
rie's swinish propensites wouldn't
give up Nelson, and Mulhall is again
put off with the promise that she can
have something next time

THERE is one thing in this war Of the
Republican leaders for the gold stand
ard that ought to strike every thought
ful man as singular and queer, and
that is, for more than eighty years
while the silver dollar was the unit Of
value this country was the most pros.
porous on the globe, and strikes and
labor troubles we're almost unknown,
especially in the west and south. After
1878, when the monetary system was
reversed and gold was made the unit
OF value and silver desired admission
TO the mints, we have from yeac TO
year witnessed a constant decline in
the products Of the field, the shops and
labor generally, while the social sys-
tenn has been disturbed by constantly
recurring labor troubles. II the de-
monetization OF silver and the en-
throuing OF gold as the unit Of value Is
not responsible for these conditions.
why such marked difference in the
two periods of the history of this eoun-
try?
