A Louisiana Mob Furnishes a Man for

St. Joseph, La, Aug. 6.-Some days
ago a respectable white woman, en-
ployed as a domestic in a prominent
family on the border of Franklin Par
ish, was sent across Tensas river on an
errand, and, failing to return in proper
time, the family became alarmed and
sent parties in search of her. The
searching party after several hours
found the dead body in the woods con-
cealed by brush and horribly mutt
lated.
The most intense excitement follow
ed the discovery and in a short while
the whole section was aroused and in
the saddle.
Suspicion pointed to a white tramp
who had been seen near there. Dogs
were used and in a few hours the
tramp was run down. He confessed he
had outraged the woman, and to cover
up the crime had murdered her. The
Infatuated crowd bound the brutal
wretch, staked him to the nearest tree
and after burning his body and rid
ding it with bullets quietly dispersed

DYING ouT-NO.
farewell


The gold standard advocates have
met together and decided that the sill
yer craze is dying out The campaign
has opened sufficiently to reveal this as
the policy which is to be pursued by all
gold standard speakers. Advocates of
gold everywhere and particularly in
the middle west, where the contest is
to be made, have been inspired as to
the method of procedure and hence
forth are to say in public and in con-
versation that"the silver sentiment was
pretty strong awhile ago, but it is sub
siding now; the sober second thought
of the people is asserting itself; etc.
Silver men and thoughtful people will
not be deceived by such talk, but new
ertheless the gold standard advocates
imagine that they have devised a cum
ming scheme to break the confidence of
the opposition. The shrewdness of the
scheme, however, is confined to their
own minds. Because they, the gold
standard men, have regained their
equilibrium after the first severe
shocks of their fright, decidedly clev-
er thought strikes them-they will go
forth and tell the people that the sill
yer sentiment is dying out" Kansas
politicians of the gold variety, who,
two weeks ago were so badly fright
ened that their teeth chartered have
doped themselves and having got back
some of their self possession manage
to blurt out with their fists clenched
to keep from trembling and quaking;
Yes, the silver sentiment is dying
out"
The three tailors of Tooley street
have assembled and decided that there
is no sentiment for silver
This is the plan of campaign which
the Kansas gold men have agreed on.
Silver clubs organizing every day with
hundreds of members overwhelmingly
disprove their assertion. But they
must keep up a bold front. Even as
he pronounces the words that the pop
ular demand for free silver is decadent
and moribund the gold advocates
voice quavers and he casts a glance
over his shoulder for some place to run
to.
But the ukase has gone forth. The
gold men have considered and declare
that the silver sentiment is dying. They
have waved their magic wand and said:
Silver sentiment die out"
OF course the silver sentiment will
at once fall under these lamentations.
Do not the gold men rule the world, o
King? Abase yourself. We misguided
silver men fall down and worship the
most high. these superior beings. Are
they not the people? "Ain't all of US
gold men educated fellers?"
This plan of the gold men to annih1I-
ate the silver sentiment with a word,
obliterate with gesture. dfsorganize
it with blatant mouthings is both hui
morous and grotesque. It is symbol
lied by a frightened child running at
top speed through a dark alley and
crying out. I'm not afraid. I'm not
afraid"
Yes, it has been decided that the sill
yer sentiment is dying out.
In the meantime hundreds every day
are joining free silver clubs, large

HOW WILL THEY HAvE TIP

Since there is doubtless a desire on
the part of a large majority of those on
both sides Of the money question. that
it should be discussed fairly and hon
estly with the end in view Of ascer-
tanning the truth regardless OF who
may be hurt. it would simplify matters
greatly if the supporters of the gold
standard would elect on what ground
they expect to rest their case.
Under free and unlimited coinage of
silver, win the silver dollar be a So
cent dollar or Will it be doubled in val
ne, thus enriching the silver mine
owner.
Hitherto, when cornered on one
proposition they have FASTENED to the
other. Both cannot be maintained at
the same time. The absurd position in
which the gold advocates have placed
themselves in the discussion of this
phase Of the subject. has done more
than anything else to the accelerate the
growth of the silver sentiment.
If the silver dollar viii be doubled
in value as Henry Clews says it WILL
then it will be as good as ANY other
dollar,'' even the gold dollar, which is
said to be worth twice as much. Since,
according to the views of the gold men,
the value Of gold never changes, all
that is necessary to bring about a par
ity between the metals is to double the
value of silver. This, a large number
Of gold men and gold newspaper or
gans say Con some oecasions) free and
unlimited coinage of silver will do.
If, on the other hand, you cannot
put value into anything by 1egisla-
ton" and the silver dollar will re-
main 5O-cent dollar under free coin
age, then the silver miners will get
nothing out of it, the silver dollar will
be just what it is today. the laborer
will continue to receive his pay in them
as he does today, so will the money
loaner and no harm will be done to
anybody.
1t is useless to attempt to disguise
the fact that the business of the coun-
try is done on silver and paper. No
gold, to speak Of, is used in ordinary
business. The government and a few
eastern banks keep a supply on hands
for spectators, but the masses scarce
ly see a gold coin. When the farmer
DoFfoWS money from the Dank or the
loan agent, he receives silver dollars,
silver certificates or national bank
notes, rarely greenbacks, for they too,
are necessary to the spectators for
extracting gold from the treasury If
free coinage will not change the value
of the silver dollar then the bank and
the loan agent will get the same kind
Of money they loaned; if free coinage
will double the value Of the silver dol
lar then the banker and the loan
agent win get the benefit and should
not complain, so long as the borrower
is satisfied.
