BURNING BAGGAGE CAR
On the Santa Fe EsTbonnd Overland
e.. Train on Saturday
After Passing Through Drenchlng Hours

morning last.
point about ten miles east of Needles
was reached at 30 p. M, the train be-
ing about thirty minutes behind time

steam. when the roof of the baggage car
was found to be on fire. Under the Cir
cumstances the supposition would be
that it caught from live coal spark
from the engine, but the train had only
Just passed through drenchng rain of
an hours duration, and this tends to
weaken the hypothesis.
The train ran five miles to a switch,
where the burning car was left. During
the progress of the fire several heavy
explosions took place. The safe was
saved. but all other contents of the car
were destroyed, one man, an English
man, we'll advanced in years, claiming
that in his trunk he had large sum of
money.
The train was delayed an hour. Some
effort was made to suppress the news of
the blaze and this brief report reached

Gold Standard Con-
yentiOn.

The wing of the Democratic party
representing this policy are going to
hold a national convention about Sept.
= to put in the field national. ticket.
This step was initiated by representa-
tives Of seven states in Chicago, viz:
Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky. Mis-
souri,, Michigan, Texas, Iowa, Mime
sofa and Nebraska. Senator Villas and
Mr.. Whitney are in the movement.
This is the only logical and reasonable
solution of the money question which
is now the uppermost issue in national
politics. This action is only fulfil
ment of the prediction of the ZINES
more than year ago that the time
would come when all gold standard men
would have to stand together. The
Republican party. has failed to grasp
the situation as it should in not realiz-
ing that the government was confront
ed by an issue which threatens its in
situations and autonomy. 1t has made
partisan triumph paramount csnsid.

democrats together and has jeered and
denounced them all alike so as to drive
away any support of gold standard
men II has failed to utilize great
opportunity. and the time will come
when its gold standard advocates will
stand with this wing of the democracy.
No man who is honest in his convic.
tions and patriotic in his sentiments in
believing that free silver would bring
calamity and untold suffering upon the
masses of poor people IN this county
and ruin the credit and stability of the
goverumen: itself can vote for Mr..
Bryan and the element and policy he
represents. We gold standard men
have fought the heresy of free silver to
it's final arbitrament in the party, and
certainly have the unchallenged and
consistent right to not follow the party
against our honest convictions in sbap-
ing governmental policy in lines moi
approved by our convictions and con
science. This is the true policy fol
those of our faith to pursue and pre-
serve the party in tact on this line thai
the true democracy may rally around
our standard when the silver craze i:
over. The day will come when the
wisdom of this course will be exempli
fed. This country will never accept
a debased currency.

Bishop Galloway in personal inter-
view with us at Madison Station said
he thought we had reflected upon him
personally and professionally to his in;
jury, to which we very promptly re-
piled it was not our intention and that
we would be free to say SO. We here
assert that nothing we uttered from
the stand or printed in our paper was
intended to wound his feelings as,
refined gentleman or as n servant of
God or the denomination to which he.
belongs. and our writings when fairly
scrutinized will bear us, out in the as
sertion. We have no retractions nor
apologies to offer to the Bishop NOR
any one else in anything we have said
or done in connection with their rela-
ton to the political issue OF prohibition
in our copn,y.' We assaulted no mans
personal character, Lnt stood upon u
high plain of fair and honorable debate
though attacked ip oar person not by
the Bishop but by his confreres. We
again assert that wa intended no inf
jury either personal or in his sacred po-
sition to the Bishop, but if he came out
of the shock of battle scared and wound
ed in any particular 1t was OF his own
doipg-the result of his forsaking his
moral field of labors, to seek to fasten
upon our county and personal liberty,
legal restraints which he and his fol-
lowers had failedto effe through the
higher law of which they. are the chos-
ed instruments to expound for the wei
fare and safety of mankind. In otr
Galloway edition, we stated emphati-
cally that it was not the man nor
Bishop that we attacked but PoIITICAL
PROHIBITION Galloway. We hope the
above will satisfy not only tie Bishop
but all the rest of mankind that we
have no personal animus, or sought to
maliciously injure him personally in
any wav. as nothing was further from
our intentions.
1
We entered the recent contest in our
county purely upon grounds OF princi-
pies and convictions and maintained a
universally courteous and kind de
mesnor alike to friend or foe, and have
no unkind feelings towards any one.
II any have such feelings towards us.
we are sorry for them-uot ourseIf--
and they can entertain them as long as
they choose, it will cot effect our
course towards them or any one or
thing else. We have but one road to
travel, that OF conviction and duty let
the consequences be what they may.
We inflicted no Intentional private
wounds and have no regrets.
