It is certainly hard to see how any patriotic sound money man who believes that fiatism would result in ruin and disaster to the country can lend himself to the free silver side as matter of duty to the party. The party is sometimes nothing better than a public enemy Dallas CTex) News.
 On the same principle of reasoning in- sert "bimetallism" for 'sound money" and "gold standard" for "fiatism' and see how it will read. A paper with such convictions should not pose as a repre- sentative of any party. A bolter is nothing better than a public enemy"

Take notice of this fact white men: When Goodwin was a Jeffersonian dem ocrat he would have taken great offense at charge that were he to go to con gress he would vote to seat a negro over a white man in that body. A charge now that if elected governor he would appoint negro probate judges, magistrates, etc., doubtless offends him, but he has done the former, and if elected governor why are we to expect that he would not do the latter?
Birmingham state herald., 1896-06-06

We don't think there is white man in the Fifth district who voted for Goodwyn to represent him in congress that would like to sit down around his fireside and read the fact to his good wife and chil- dren that his man for congress had gone and voted to seat a negro over white man in that body. Don't vote again for a man whose conduct you can't commend in the presence of your family.

CHICAGO BON MYSTERY.
1t Is Believed the Body Was That of a
Man of Salt Lake City.

Chicago March PIT has been ascer-
tanned by the books of the Northwestern
Railroad company that the box contain
ing a corpse which was sold at the I'M
claimed freight auction was shipped from
Salt Lake City, February 8, 1898. The
consgnor was G.. Nj. Morgan and the
consignee G. NJ. Morgan, 163 South JEFF
ferson street, Chicago. The big box re-
NAMED in the freight house of the COM
pany in Chicago for five months and
was then sent to the storage warehouse,
where it remained until the acution sale.
The police have communicated the facts
to the Salt Lake City police in the hope
of learning something regarding the
identity of the mysterious corpse and
how it came to be sent to Chicago as
merchandise.
A singular circumstance is that the
name G. NJ. Morgan belongs to one of the
most efficient officers of the United States
secret service. At present none of his
Chicago friends know of Mr.. Morgan's
whereabouts. Whether he can help
solve the mystery is doubtful.
Henry Devere and Bas Marcel APP
peared at the armory police station to-
night and said they believed the body was
that of Prosper Chasal, who disappeared
from Salt Lake City in February, 1893.
They have seen the body and feel
reasonably sure that they are right
Chasal lived with woman named Miss
Rolande on Franklin avenue, Salt Lake
City, up to February, 1893.
Chasal lived with Miss Rolande as his
wife and the men who called at the
police station tonight said that she is
now in Paris, France, where she went in
the hope that she would be able to find
some way to clear the disappearance of
Chasal.
Devere and Marcel both believe that
Chasal was murdered and that the motive
therefor was robbery.

FRENCH INCOME TAN.

Paris, March 26.-The chamber of dep
uties. by vote of 26S to 40, has voted
for the government proposal of the prin-
cipal of an income tax, but has referred
the details of the scheme to committee.
The income tax proposition has been in
tended as the central feature of the plan
of the present government and it has been
believed extremely doubtful whether its
proposal could pass the legislature. The
action tonight is in the nature of COM
promise endorsing the principal of an in
come tax, but throwing aside the details
of the government scheme. According
to this scheme incomes of less than $500
francs (S0O0) were to be exempted, and
25OO francs was to be deducted from the
assessment of all taxable incomes. Up
to 5000 francs the rate of the tax was
fixed at per cent: between 10000 and
10000 francs, at per cent; between 90
600 and 10000 francs. per cent, and
above 10000 francs, per cent.
These progressive rates for the tax
were to apply only to. the excess of in
come over the sum coming under the next
lower rates; that is to say, a millionaire
would have his income divided into five
parts, each taxed at different rates.

HENCEFORTH AS BANDITS
AND INCENDIARIES
CLH|M 70 HAVE MACEO TRAPPED.
The Spanards Think They Have the

Burn Numerous Villages and
Plantations-Several Fights.

Havana, March 26.-The insurgent
leader, Aniceta Hernandez, has died of
his wounds near Lajas, and has body
was identified. 1t is believed that the
movement of the insurgents toward Ha-
vana and about the city is intended to
draw the attention of the troops from
the military line near Pinar del Rio.
General Pando has transferred his
headquarters to Cienfuegos, province of
Santa Clara.
A detachment of insurgent cavalry rode
into the city of Santa Clara ut midnight,
firing and shouting la Machete!'
The raid caused considerable alarm,
but the insurgents were repulsed by the
troops stationed at the theatre, and after
some fighting on the plaza and in adj
joining streets the insurgent leader,
Vidal was killed and the enemy retired
with many wounded.
SiXty-three wounded soldiers have ar
rived here from the province of Pinar del
Rio.
The insurgents have burned Playa,
Jimanillo, Marianos, village near Hovo
Colorado, some big stables and houses on
the highway near that place, the small
plantation of Tobias and the village of
Consequence, killing three children and
wOunding two others.
Colonel Molinas reports that he has
had fight with Clotilde Garcia and u
band of 1000 insurgents at the planta-
ton of Paz, in Matanzas.
The insurgents left 10 killed and car
ried off their wounded. A guerilla band
pursuing, caught the insurgents and de-
feated them.
The colonel of the battalion of Bar
besto, at Guira Melina, has had fight
with the band of San Gully, number
ing 300. five of whom were killed.
Captain General Weyler has once
more issued a proclamation. He pro-
claims that in view of the fact that the
insurgents avoid engagement with the
troops and devote themselves entirely to
acts of incendiarism, he has resolved
bandits, applying the rule set forth in
his former proclamation.
Maceo is now in the western end of the
island, between the west coast and the
military line running through Mariel Ma
and Neptune. The guardianship of this
line has been entrusted to General Aro-
las, who is riding along it with his chief
of staff and column of troops number
ing 5000 This renders Maceo's po-
sition very critical and the Spanish au-
thorities once more express their conf
dence that they have the insurgents in
trap from which they can not escape.
Maxine Gomez is at present near
Guines, but is going westward.
General WenceslaO Molina has ar
rived here.
The news of the landing of the flibus-
tering steamer with an expedition head
ed by the inSurgent general, CaliXto
Garcia, on board is confirmed.

IN THE TRANSVAAL - ORANGE
FREE STATE Is BACKING
PRESIDENT KRUGER.
THE Beers SA|D 70 Be ARM|NG.
Rumored That England and America
Will Make Joint Representations to
France to Protect Their Interests
In Madagascar.

London, March PA Pretoria dis
patch to the Times says:
The situation is serious.
Presiden Kruger has just concluded
new defensive and offensive. alliance
with the Orange Free State. Presi-
dent Stein of the Orange Free State and
the Transvaal legislative council strong
ly advise President Kruger not to go to
England. The Transvaa wants its in
dependence guaranteed by England in
connection with the other powers.
The Beers are arming in the Orange
Free State and in Cape Colony.
The large influx of Germans has been
drafted into the police and the artillery.
DIR. w. j. Leyds, secretary of state for
the Transvaal. who has been for some
time in Germany, has used the secret
service money largely to encourage i'm
migration from Germany
The Free State and Afrikander bund
has offered to support the Beers.
An editorial in the Times comments
upon the gravity of the foregoing facts,
(which" says the Times, ''emanate from
a trustworthy private source. If these
are true, it indicates powerful coall-
ton against England.
THE arming of the Beers can have
but one aim. England, however, will
do nothing by way of guarantee or 9th
erwise to give any other power the right
to interfere with the South African re-
public.

MAY ACT JOINTLY

London, March 26.-It has been learned
by the Associated Press that the British
chambers of commerce are. bringing
strong pressure on the government for
some action to protect British interests
in Madagascar, in view of the decision of
France to eXterminate existing treaties
made by Madagascar with other powers
without the leave of the powers con-
cerned. 1t is suggested the government
came to an agreement for an entente
with the United States and will make
joint representation to France in view of
the extent of American interests affected
by the setting aside of the American
treaty with Madagascar of 1881. The
chambers of commerce have pointed out
that France contends that the French
position in Madagascar is neither anneXa-
ton nor a protectorate, but something
midway between these two, France TAX
ing over the direction of foreign affairs
Thus, the chambers argue, she is bound
to assume all obligations, especially those
secured by treaty. The government has
not yet been officially notified of Frances
action. but the chambers of commerce
have been satisfied that the government
will not remain quiescent and that there
is a possibility of an entente with the
United States on this subject.
