GoEM's POSITION ON FINANCE.

The Honorable William GOem of Out
ertown, Oklahoma, raised his hand to
still the multitude and began his
speech:
Ladies' and Gentlemen, Fellow Citi-
zens, All: thank you. (Applause)

wATTERsON FOR PRESIDENT.

Notwithstanding Henri Watterson's
neat declination, the chances seem IA
vorable for his nomination at Indian
apOlis today. In reply to communi-
cation on the subject of his support Of
a third ticket he replied that he would
lot think of boiling the indianapolis
ticket unless his name were at the head
of it This prettiest declination on
record will hardly avail. however.
Kentucky has become a doubtful state
and no man can come so near keeping
Ter in line as Watterson. There is no
question but that he would make
trouble for the entire south, which
with WattersOn in the field, would
probably no longer be considered solid
for Bryan and Watson or Bryan and
anybody else. The single standard
Democrats Of the south, as do many
of the old time Jacksonian liners con-
tend that Watterson is the man to
break the fusion lines by holding the
old party together.

state that will hold an election ante
cedent to the November general cleo
ton The results In these states be-
come Of the greatest interest as point
ers in showing what changes have
taken place. In the last Vermont cleo
ton for state officers the Republican
vote was 1900, the Democratic vote
1900, the Populist vote 740 and the
Prohibition vote 457. Rackensack
showed up somewhat differently, the
Democratic vote being two years ago
$4,000, the Republican vote $4,000 and
the Populist $4,000. The Maine state

LYING IN FACE OF FACTS.

One of the cartoons Of the week rep
resents the ghost Of Ananias applying
at political headquarters for employ
ment as campaign liar The ''boss'
tells him to clear out, as only expert
liars are wanted The truth is there
Is too much lying all around and such
lying as would put the laundering An
RnlaS to shame. One of the most reck-
less seems to be Altgeld of Illinois
Many of his declarations are aStonish-
Ing He fools only the ignorant. The
other day at Girard, in an attack on
protection, he declared that as for the
Mckinley tariff, under Harrison, that
lit nearly doubled the already high
duties" This was the solemn avowal
of this Illinois governor. The very
title of the Mckinley bill was: IAN
act to reduce revenues" The reve-
nueS had been too great and it was
proposed by that bill 10 protect a large
number of American productions by q
higher tariff but to make free a num-
Der of staple articles like sugar, coffee
and tea The treasury returns show
that the value of goods admitted free
in 1889, the year preceding the McKin-
ley law, amounted to S256, 4S7 ,07S and
for the year ending June, 1892. which
was the first fun year of the Mckinley
law, that the free goods amounted To
S459,999,6 go, or almost double the
q m Of r>csrx Il
doubling the high duties it added full
$500 100000 to the free list. Altceld
said further that the Mckinley high
duty almost stopped importations. The
official figures leave Mr.. Altgeld in the
lie again. The increase Of importa-
tons amounted 10 within a few dollars
of S10O,OOO,OOO.
On Oct 6, 1890, the Mckinley tariff.
described as IAN act to reduce reva-
nue." was enacted. In the first full
year Of it's operation the revenue fell
TO S425. SOS go, being n reduction of
S3S,094,SaO, but still leaving comfort
able surplus Of more than Sic. 100000.
But in 1894, the Wilson G orman tariff
being in force. and the Democratic
party in power two things happened:
The revenue which was S461. 716. 561
during the last year of the Mckinley
tariff. fell TO S312. 500. 400, and the ex-
penditures, which were S415, 953, SOC for
the year ending June so. 1892. which
was the last OF Harrison's administra-
uon rose 10 $40, 605,75S in 1894. the
year in which Governor Altgeld de-
plores what he falsely calls Republi-
can deficit"
of course 1t is TO be expected that
more or less lying will be done in this
more than ordinarily exciting cam
paign, but speakers and writers should
be careful not TO lie in the face of facrs.

I may be warm And the weaver an

you what you could raise in corn il
you were raising corn while you are
weaving my cloth And it is agreed.
And after time Fashion steps in and
says to the farmer: Put arms in this

who can model your suit, but while l
am cutting it 1 will be able to raise no

the weaver or the modeler transforms.

grain three hundred fold That is

Does the weaver make wealth? He
transforms the fax into cloth, but
while he is doing it he neglects his corn
and produces nothing. He simply
transforms. He has ceased to multi
ply. He has become a transformer.
He has become parasite. The whole
world is living off the farmer. Then,
again we might say the fax would be

cloth. So then the weaver does be

THE OLD BOYS IN BLUE.

Whatever political party may rise Oh
fall. or for whatever reasons states
men may change their views, until the
older half of the present generation
shall have responded to the last TATTOO,
there will be found, annually encamped
q radiant front of patriots who can
never change, never forget; an army
of corps and divisions whose comrade-
ship, still inspired by the spirit OF Lin
coin, Will stand firm as the everlasting
hills. For a Just cause they fought,
for their countTy's honor many Of them
died, nor time with its changes, nor
politics with its ever arising exigencies
can move them. Their patriotism re-
mains undimmed, the steadfastness Of
their faith is sublime.
Again this week the annual encamp-
ment of that veteran host, the Grand
Army of the Republic, will rendezvous
beneath the blue, cool skies Of Min
nesota. Its once serried, now deci-
mated, but still noble and undaunted
files. will muster and commune unaf-
fected by the political turmoil of the
hour, or the discoura gements of the
years. They all participated in the
doubts and all endured the hardships
of darker days than these, days of bat
tlefield tragedies, prison-pen horrors
and marches to death. Ali these, TO the
gray haired boys in blue, remain vi
vid, pre-eminent and overshadowing,
in that they in preserving the nation
guaranteed a peace which in being last
ing, has brought happiness and for the
most of the time, prosperity to the mil
lions
The war closed more than thirty
years ago, but despite the lapse of time
and the swing Of the reaper whose
name is Death, the Grand Army Of the
Republic remains one Of the most pow
erful organizations of the country, pow
erful numerically not only, but power
full for the best of patriotic citizenship.
At the last annual encampment the
total membership was reported at 357,-
$50.
But the ranks Of the Old Boys in |
Blue are surely and rapidly deciminat-
Ing. Probably there are not to exceed a |
half million men who took any soldiery |
part for the preservation of the Union, /
who at any time carried a gun, manned |
a ship or stood by the guns of bat
terry now living. But for the fact that |
a great majority of those who so en-
Enthusiastically responded to their coun-
try's call We're then but mere boys in
years there would be but few left to
recount the experiences of the most
memorable war of centuries. The old
men, the men who were in their prime,
who marched under Grant and Sher-
man and a host of other brave and
competent leaders, have followed those
leaders to rest in flames eternal camp
ing ground" 1t is due them that we
preserve all that they saved to us as
q people.
The Eagle hopes that ell of them may
live to attend other encampments Of
the future, live to read of them, and to
glory in the spirit which inspires and
sustains them. and that their closing
days, as hey shall come to each, shall
be peaceful days and days of plenty.
These they deserve. these they are 4
entitled TO at the hands of a grateful
republic Of patriotic people.

LOVE SECRETS.

The village postmistress has often
been represented as reading the postal
cards that came under observation in
an official way, thus keeping Informed
as TO the affairs of her neighbors This
charge has been Indignantly denied by
the representatives of the sex, but a
case now on trial in an Ohio court
would apparently indicate that female
curiosity does not stop at postal cards,
but even invade the sanctity Of a sealed
envelope. The defendant is a pretty
young woman, who, during the llnless
Of ner mother, was postmistress pro
tenn. at North Bend. and the allegation
is that she opened and read ''love let
ters'' passing between a certain
Thomas ID. Balseley and Miss Emma
Wamsley. The accusation is vigor-
ously denied, but a horrid postoffice in
spector, by means Of decoy letter, has
proved cOnclusiveiy that the CORES
pondence was tempered with, and the
only custom now is as to the identity
of the offender. Mr.. Balseley is very
angry that the tender illusions which
he wrote to the object Of his affections
have been analysed by young lady
who cannot appreciate his state of
mind, and who has doubtless informed
her friends how the young man courts
his inamorata. Miss Wamsley also is
Outdone, and when she reflects that her
fervent missives have probably pro-
voked many a laugh at her expense,
and that her heart has been opened not
only to Balseley, but to the village post
mistress and her circle of acquaint-
ances, she cries aloud for revenge.

PENALTY IS DEATH.

Milwaukee, April 17.-Robert Par,
sons, passenger on the steamer Chi
cago, of the Goodrich line, was arrest
ed yesterday when the boat arrived
from Chicago, on charge that in
wolves capital punishment. Parsons
is charged with committing felonious
assault on Mrs. Fanny Cohen, who
also was q passenger on the vessel
Wednesday night. According to Mrs.
Cohen's statement the assault &C.
CURED while she was on the cabin
deck alone, her husband having gone
below. Parsons ran away after the
assault and Mrs. Cohen gave the
alarm. Subsequently he was found in
hiding and locked up in a stateroom
He broke the door in an effort to es-
cape and was held by members of the
crew until the boat landed here. From
Racine the captain of the boat had tel
egrapEed to Chief of Police Jansen.
