Vice President Stevenson says:
"a belief in cheap money IS no
part of democratic teachings. 1t
is a part of our creed, that the
doll lr unit OF coinage Ct both
metals must be of equal intrinsic
exchangable value We believe
in such safeguards of legislation
as shall insure the maintenance
of the parity of the two metals
and the equal power OF every dol
lar at all times in the markets
and in the payment OF debts" "
Surely the safeguards of legisla-
tion 50 earnestly invoked by the
platform of 1892 were such as
would restore silver to it's honor
ed place Az standard mohev, not
so much as would look to it's de
struction. US did the act of 1878.

THE CAT OVERTURNED THE LIANT
A serious accident occurred at the res
idence of Mrs. Julia English, near Lau-
rel, Md, Wednesday night. A cat,
which was being driven from the room,
by some means overturned lamp, the
oil from which ignited and ran over
Miss Edith English, burning her very
painfully about the neck, back, and
face. Her sister, Miss Miteline,
who came to assist in extinguishiDg
the flames, was burned about the
hands, but in rolling Miss Edith on the
grass put out the flames. Mrs. English
and her family formerly lived in this
city, where they have many friends.
A message received here this morning
stated that both the young ladies are
doing well and that they were not Sc
riously burned.
