WHAT BECK SAID.

Senator James b. Beck, of Kentucky,
in a speech before the United States
Senate in January, lS7S,-see page 25S,
Congressional Record, January, 1885,
said:
l know that the bondholders and
monopolists of this country are seeking
to destroy all the industries of the people
in their greed to enhance the value OF
their gold. | know that the act of 1873
did more than all else to accomplish that
result, and the decentralization act OF the
Revised Statutes was an illegal and uncon-
ait,dioaoi contamination of the fraud. |

was before, and thus aid in preventing
the consummation of their designs.

WHY GRANT LEFT HIS PARTY.

A few days ago Jesse r. Grant, young
est son of the late President Grant,
startled the Republican leaders by de-
claring for the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver. He explains his action in leav-
ing the Republican party in letter to a
friend, in which he says;
81 believe honestly in the great advan-
tage to this country of the free coinage of
silver 1t does not mean reputation of
our debts at home or abroad. We could
not pay our debt with both gold and
silver, even ii we had it all, our mort
cages being equal to the enormous sum
of Sl0,000,000,000.

SENT TO JAIL.
Attorneys Come to Blows During a Trial in
Mt. Sterling.

Mt. STERLING, Oct. TUESDAY after
noon Judge Lewis Apperson and Judge
B. F. Day had an alteration in the Cir
cult Court room, for which offense Judge
John f. Cooper sent them to Jail for
three hours.
They are prominent lawyers and each
is game to the backbone. They were
opposing counsel in case. Day repre-
senting the plaintiff and Apperson the
defendant. The plaintiff had answered
not ready, and the defendant was insist
ing on trial, when the sincerity of the
attorneys was questioned. This led to
the passing of the lie, when they went
at each other viciously. They were
quickly separated by attorneys present
without either sustaining injuries.

TIE spectacle afforded by the rejection
Of Judge Denny by his own party in the
Ashland District in the interest OF Col.
Breckenridge, against whom two years
ago nothing was too vile to be said, is
one of the rarest and most novel ever
presented in the history of American
politics.-Covington Commonwealth.
1t illustrates in a striking manner to
what depth Republican leaders will 60 to
win. They have turned down one of their
best men and taken up this Democratic
cast-of and will try to send to Congress a
man whom his own party repudiated.

THIS Is RICH.
1t Explains Why the Republicans Suddenly
Dropped" the Mexican Dollar
Argument.

When the present campaign opened
some Republicans made fools of them
selves by their talk about the Mexican
dollar" OF late, however, one rarely ever
hears it mentioned. TWAS "loaded" and
that is why the Republicans have
dropped it. The following letter to Ar
mour & Co., the millionaire meat packers
of Chicago, is taken from the Denver
Times and probably explains why gold
bug orators have quit spouting about the
Mexican dollar:
CAMP LIBOUR.
MSsrs. Phil armour C Co., Chicago, Ill.,, Dear
Phil: Your offer OF so cents worth Of meat and a
Mexican dollar in exchange for an American
dollar, received, but l can do better with our
home butcher. He offers 90 cents worth of meat
and 81 worth Portuguese 8 per cent gold bonds in
exchange for silver dollar. Our butcher says
the bonds must be good as Portugal has been on
6cA'N
the other enlightened nations of Europe, and its
national debt has only increased 100 per cent
since that date. Average wages paid all Ar
tisans in Portugal is Il cents per day. In former
letter you told me that all we needed was little
gold improved " banking facilities" and conf
dence." Portugal has "a little gold" the world
has its improved banking facilities since 1858,
and can supply the confidence " so the bonds
are certainly good. Our home butcher says he
will continue to give 80 cents worth OF meat ard
50 OF Portuguese gold bonds after Bryan is elect
ed Will you guarantee to give so cents worth of
meat and Mexican dollar in exchange for an
American silver dollar after Bryan is elected
Yours truly, JoHN FAIEPLAY.

bonds at 0i1a cents, Portuguese 8 per cent gold
bonds at 26l4

Seems as If all things we like disagree with us,
and all the things we don't like agree with us.
Dyspepsia turks in most of the good things we
eat, and ingestion follows the qualification of
appetite. OF course, it isn't Natures fault. Ma
ture does the best she can, and.if man will only
help her little bit at the right time, he may eat
what he likes and as much as he likes. DR..
Perce's Pleasant Pellets are for people who are
troubled with indigestion, particularly for
those in whom 1t manifests itself in the form of
constipation. The "Pellets" are quick and easy
in their action. They are in perfect harmony
with Nature. They effect a permanent cure.
You need take them regularly only little while.
After that, use them occasionally when you need
them-when you have eaten anything that dis
agrees with you. They may be taken just as freely
as you would take water or any other necessity
OF life. Once used they are always in favor.

CARLISLE In 1890.
He Voted to Provide For the Free and
Unlimited Coinage of Silver.

The following is letter written by
John G. Carlisle in June, 1890, to Hon.
William Smith, who is now United States
District Attorney for Kentucky:
Zion. IPm. Smith, MaHfe'd, Ky.,-Dedr Sir:
Your favor of the 18th, inst, is just received.
Every Democrat in the Senate voted against the
Silver bin as it was finally amended and reported
by the conference committee, because we be-
lieved it was worse than the existing law. II the
Farmers Alliance of Graves County believe that
this Republican measure, which substantially
stops the coinage of the silver dollar, after one
year. is better than the Democratic law OF 1873,
they are OF course, entitled to their opinion, but
! do not agree with them. When the original
house bill was under consideration in the SEN
ate, IrOed TO amend so as to prOride for The free and
unlimited coinage Of the drr dollar and that
amendment was adopted.
The House, however, refused to agree to this
amendment, and then conference committee
was appointed which struck out free coinage
entirely, and this Is the bill rotcd against. send
you by mail all three of the bills. Yours truly,

Silly Question.

When man has lost his pocketboolE
or agold collar stud, the question asked
him by nine people out Of ten is,
"Where did you lose it?" And this is
always very soothing question to the
loser, because if he knew where he lost
the article it is not reasonable to sup
pose that he would be looking in 40
different places to find it.-London Tit

1--WE might just as well understand
that we cannot fix by law the wages of

men that a high tariff law would give
them higher wages.

closing exercises. have decided TO rent the
Opera House for that occasion. The rent OF
the Opera House for ore night will be twenty
FIVE iS25) dollars. In order to raise this

building, except on the first rows Of chairs in
the balcony, which have been reserved for
the pupils of the school, and in the boxes,
which are intended for the members OF the
Board of Commissioners, the City Council
and for those gentlemen who have consented
TO decide on the merits Of the contestants for
the declaimers medal

but the authorities will see that no patron of
the school shall be deprived Of the privilege
of attending these exercises on account OF ln'
ability to pay. If Il greater sum than S25 Is
received, the remainder will be given to the
library fund of the Graded School.
The commencement exercises will be held

you in reference to the vote on the Irby reso-
iation io the State Convention by the Sumter
delegation. Two of the delegates, Messrs.
Mcleod and Purdy, we're not at the night ses.
sion, consequently did not vote. The resolu-
lion was uncalled for. Delegates had never
been bound to the National Convention.
Why bind them now? A man that can't put
the good of his country ahead of his party,
is not fit to hold Office, either by trust or pro-
III If enough delegates to the National
Convention Will be bought as now claimed,
10 control it in the interests Of gold and
against the verdict Of the people, such Con.
vertion will not be Democratic one, and il
will be right for one delegation to bid them
''good evening" and if this is done, by
them, you viii hnd the State Convention ii
re-convened Sept. lst will snstaia them in
their action This is the object Of the recess.
The time is here when principles and not meu
will control the day. This stihiug CT ;he

worse than the history Of the world has pro-
duced will take place here.

fort specific purpose Of electlng
the State bank examiner, as provided
