Mr.. Samuel Dickson Of Philadelphia,
lifelong Democrat and an influential
citizen, has resigned as a presidential
elector on the Democratic ticket. Among
other reasons for his action he gave the
following:
1t is merely paltering with the truth
to pretend to acquiesce in the expert
ment Of trying to make the product of
a DAYS labor in silver mine worth
two or five times as much as the product
Of a days labor in a gold or an iron
mine. At the present time the results
Of a days work in one occupation are
worth approximately and in the long
run as much as in any other To affix
an artificial value upon silver ore Is a
dishonest and unjust discrimination
against every other form Of industry,
and when it is done by calling it legal
tender it is done at the expense Of every
class in the community except the money
lenders and the money changers
With currencies Of different value in
circulation, the money lenders always
thrive at the expense Of the people, and
the debtor must suffer more than the
wage Garner 1t was favorite saying
of Lord Palmerston that high rate OF
interest meant bad security, and the
owner Of money must charge for the
risk if there is chance that when he
lends bar of gold he may be forced to
take payment in a bar Of silver, just as
the owner Of horse will hesitate to
lend it with q chance Of being given in
return a sheep or a pig. That is all
there is in bimetallism as a practical
question as between the lender and the
borrower, and, so stated, it ought to be
easy to understand why, until it is
stated, hundreds Of millions Of capital
are lying idle which would be at the
service Of the south and west II they
were willing to give back what they got

A trial was recently made in Austria
to decide in how short a space Of time
living trees could be converted into
newspapers. At Essential, on April II,
at 80 in the morning. three trees were
sawn down. At 8 :34 the wood, having
been stripped Of bark, cut up and con-
verted into pulp, became paper and
passed from the factory to the press,
from whence the first printed and folded
copy was issued at 10 O'Clock. So that
in las minutes the tree had become
newspapers. The age of miracles is not

In one respect at least the Chicago
platform is TO be commended. 1t is a
straightout declaration Of revolutionary
doctrines and reputation principles
Every one who supports it will know
just what he is voting for, and the
American people will have only them
selves to blame if they are foolish
enough to indorse policy which would
bring widespread ruin and poverty and

sound Money and a De-
based Standard of

The declaration of financial principles
put forward by the Democratic national
convention is shrewd mixture Of cheap
money delusions. half truths and wholly
unfounded assertions It's alleged state
ment of facts has frequently been
shown to be untrue, but in spite Of this
they were deliberately Endorsed by a
majority Of the representatives Of the
Democratic party Since the standard
raised at Chicago will be used to rally
all the forces Of silverism, iatism, cur
rency debasement and debt repudi ton,
it becomes necessary to refute once more
the statements on which the American
people are asked to support the Demo
cratic candidates. This can be briefly
and effectively done by a comparison Of
the assertions Of the Chicago platform
with the simple facts.

SOUND MONEY FACTS.
The constitution
does nothing Of the
kind. Ii does not con-
tain a line or word
which can be twisted
into meaning that
gold and silver shall
be the money metals
Of the country. Arti
Gle |. section 10, says
"No state shall en-
ter into any treaty.
alliance OF confedera-
ton. grant letters OF
marque and reprisal,
coin money. emit bills
Of credit. make any
thing hut gold and sill
yer coin "A tender in
payment Of debts. "
The denial OF the
right Of the states 70
make anything but
gold and silver legal
tender Is very far
from naming those
metals as the money
metals Of the United
States. " In no other
part Of the constitu-
tion IS gold or silver
even mentioned.
Tho first coinage law
passed by congress
made both gold and
silver coins the unit
or measure Of value.
Tho Spanish milled
dollar was made the
unit OF number. but
tine coinage Of gold
was based on a fixed
number Of grains Of
gold and not on a ra-
ito with the silver dol
lar.
The coinage law Of
1873 was passed after
three years discus
sion in congress, and
1t was printed 10 times
in the course Of its en-
actment. The speech
rs in both the house
and senate during the
proceedings on the
bill show that the
change was made as
openly as any other
law ever passed by
congress.
There is no proof
that gold has appreci-
atcd. Measured by its
labor cost-that is. the
amount Of labor nee
essary 70 obtain a
given quantity Of it
gold is cheaper today
than in 1873.
The free coinage Of
silver bullion, Of
which 30 ounces are
worth less than one
ounce Of gold, into le-
gal tender dollars at a
ratio Of 10 TO | gold
dollar, would at once
force this country on
a silver basis and thus
bring about the mono.
mctallism which the
silyerites pretend to
oppose.

Are the gold using or

and prosperous and
worthy Of being imi-

This is a demand
that silver worth only
81 cents shall be de-
clared equal In value
to a gold dollar worth
100 cents In face OF
the fact that the rest
Of the world refuses
to join in establishing
an arbitrary ratio be-

Capt Becker, a Belgian explorer in
Africa, and an official of the Congo
Free State, understands the negro char
acter very well, and has hit upon a
pleasant and effective means of influ-
encing the natives. He caused to be
imported from Europe a good and loud
hand-organ, and played 1t before the
blacks. He even allowed some of the
most trusty Of the blacks themselves
to turn the crank.
The natives were wild with delight.
They gathered from far and near to
hear the new machine. They regarded
1t as something supernatural, but not
to be dreaded or feared-as something
to be venerated instead.
TO change barbRrOus habits, Capt
Becker has encouraged the celebration
Of Christian marriages among the ma
tives; and as they were somewhat
averse to this civilized procedure, he
announced that the hand-organ should
be played at every Christian marriage,
as a compliment to the bride and groom.
AS soon as this announcement was

rive at the citation in considerable
numbers. Scarcely day passed with
out a wedding. Before long all the
native men of marriageable age were
lawfully married, and by this means
were brought to some extent within the
range of civilizing influences.
Indeed, the marriages increased to
such an extent that Capt. Becker began
to suspect that some of his couples
were being married the second time.
This was the case; and precautions had
to be taken to prevent this sort OF tri-
fling with sacred ceremony.
The hand-organ is used for certain
other important ceremonies; but the
Captain takes care that 1t is not brought
out so often as to permit Of the negroes
growing too familiar with it. If this
were permitted it would lose It's charm
and extraordinary influence.
There is one air in particular with
which the blacks are especially delight
ed. 1t is an air from the opera Of ia
Traviata," by Verdi. They listen to
this as If their senses were enthralled
and their souls uplifted. They seem
to show in this a genuine musical
sense, for the music of LA Traviata"
is of the purest and most beautiful sort
On all ordinary occasions, this cher
ished tune is skipped" by the astute
operator of the hand-organ, and re-
served for the special qualification of
the people at the most solemn cere-
monies.
1t Is not improbable that this instru-
ment, Of a kind deemed tedious and
objectionable in civilized countries,
may exert a most benehcent influence
In harbarous Africa.

Mrs. TinRIey of New York TO Take
Madam Blavatsky's Place.
Mrs. Katherine A. Tingley, the The,
osophlcal mahatma, seems to be as re-
markable woman in many ways as
was the great Blavatsky herself. Her
Identity was revealed through the talk,
ativeness of a woman who knew the
secret and who could not keep It Mrs
Tingley. so the esotericists all says, Is
great clairvoyant, who can roll back
the centuries and see herself in all
the various incarnations through which
her soul has passed from the begin
ming. For instance, she knows that
she and Nine. Blavatsky were bosom
friends In Egypt 1900 years before
Christ, when they, together, mapped
out the plans of the Theosophical So
ciety. They knew each other in this
life, too, although Blavatsky never
mentioned Mrs Tingley's name to any
one. This was due to the fact that
they conversed in 1.-The astral only.
The new female mahatma resembles
the Blavatsky, but Is not an orator.
She Is, in this life, just plain Mrs. Ting
ley. OF Brooklyn. Mr.. Tingley, the ma
hatma's husband, is a clerk In the
White Star Steamship Company's OF.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-THE Ex-
aminer this morning says: The chill
dren of the late millionaire Senator
James G.. Fair believe they have at
last, after many months of labor and
the expenditure of thousands of dollars,
secured the evidence that will prove
the will alleged to have been executed
by Fair on Sept. "a. 1S94-which is
known as the pencil or Craven
villa forgery. This document pro-
vides for sundry requests to Mrs. Net
tie r. Craven, of San Francisco, who
claims TO have been the contract wife
OF the late Senator Charles Fair and
his attorneys expect to overWhelm the
defenders of the pencil will with a
mass of unassailable facts. 1t is
claimed that the deceased millionaire
was a guest of the Partisan hotel, San
Rafael, on Sept. "a. 1894, and could not
have been at the residence OF Mrs.
Craven, where the will is supposed to
have been drawn up and signed, at the
hour alleged by that lady 1t is also
asserted the detectives of the local
police force have unearthed strong evil
dence to establish the senator's where
abOuts on the date mentioned, and that
the hotel register bears his autograph
among a number of others OF the page
set apart for that day. Witnesses will
be placed on the stand to swear that
they saw the millionaire in San Rafael
at the precise tine the Will is supposed
to have been made out.

TIRED OF COLD WINTERS.
Three Prominent Dakota Families
Pass Through salt Lake Seeking
n Warmer Cline.

Three families, who since North Da-
kota was first settled, almost, have
been among the most prominently
known farmers of Ransom and Sargent
counties, passed through Salt Lake
yesterday en- route to Lincoln county,
New, to settle. They were the families
of ]. W. Barry and Oscar G.. Church
OF Ransom county and Homer Mills OF
Sargent. They spent the day seeing
the sights of Salt Lake, and continued
on their journey in the evening.
To a Herald reporter who met the
party while here Mr.. Barry told a tale
of much hardship among the North
Dakota farmers. Our section of the
state is fairly representative of the
whole Of it, said Mr.. Barry, "as il is
about the most favored portion.
Times there are so hard that much
hardship viii be experienced this win
ter, and if that is true in our section,
the state must suffer greatly 1t was
and a far price. but when you stop
to think of tbs price wheat has
brought for a number of years past,
and of the fact that we haven't had a
crop since 81. you can imagine the
straits the people are in. 1t wouldn't
be so bad II wheat brought a good
price, but with the defeat of Mr.. Bry-
prospect for anything better in North
Dakota for at least four years. With
the dismal outlook ahead of US. coupled
with the great rigor OF the winters, We
decided there was no longer any in
ducement to remain in Dakota. We ac-
cordingly selected Lincoln county,
New, and made arrangements to settle
there. l can assure you we all heart
lily appreciate the change from the ter
rihla Dakota weather"
Mr.. Barry said when the party left
Dakota there were 10 inches of snow
on the ground and the thermometer
already below zero. All the members
of the party were formerly Republic
ans who have become converted TO the
Democracy through the silver cause.
The other gentlemen echoed Mr.. Bar
rvs sentiments and said the farmers
in the community they lert all felt as
they did-that their only hope lay in
the election of Ryan.
