he is the latter, is demonstrated by the
fact that he has recently discharged
bucket shop proprietors, upon the
ground that retail, is no more amenable
to law than wholesale, gambling, and
as stock and produce gambling for large
amounts is allowed at commercial e1-
changes, the small dealings at the
bucket shops are also permissible, for the
good old common sense reason, it is
supposed, that what is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander.

THE democrats in two more of the
counties .of the State, Richmond and
spottsylvania, yesterday declared for
free silver. Of the twelve in which
they have SO far held their meetings,
every one has made similar DECLARE
ton. That they are wrong, many OF
the wiser members Of the democratic
party are convinced; but it would be a
travesty upon democracy if the major
ity of the party, let alone such an over
whelming majority as is thus indicated,
should not have its own way in the
State convention, and make like dec
laration and adopt the unit rule, if it be
so disposed. The majority has the
right to rule in democratic States, and
true democrats cannot deny that right.

Why England Wants the Gold Standard

England is dependent ON other
countries for the bulk of her food
supplies and raw material for her
factories. She is also the great
creditor nation of the world. Near
ly all nations pay her interest trib-
ute on borrowed capital. Seven
hundred million dollars is con
sentative estimate of the amount of
interest she annually receives from
investments abroad. This is paid
in food supplies for her people, and
raw material for her factories. BY
persuading other nations like the
United States to adopt her single
gold standard policy she has nearly
doubled the purchasing power of
this interest--so that she now gets
these supplies from debtor nations
like the United States at practical
ly half price. A nice thing, in
deed, for English credit mongers,
but enslaving to the American
farmer, who has SO large an amount
of it to pay Kanacho Gazette

A Diminishing Roll.

The roll of the Grand Army of
the Republic as reported last week
at St. Paul shows membership of
340,610. This is loss of 1903
since September 1894 and death was
the cause of 1928 of this loss. This
is a little smaller death rate than
was recorded in 1895 and only ten
more than the death list of 1894
showed. The Grand Army has now
a SMALL membership than at any
time since 1886 when 323,671 names
were on the rolls. The maximum
membership was reached in 1890
when the lists contained 400, 1889
names. The decline in the past six
years has been $4,000. 1t is graf
flying fact, however, that the money
spent for benevolent purposes by the
order has increased instead of di-
minished. For the year ending June
30, 1896 the sum Of $211, 919.4S was
so expended, or about $12, 900 more
than for the previous year. This is
proof that the veterans who may
need help are not being neglected.

LITTLE JOE sTEA FREE.
The Jury Says the Fayette County Boy
Did Not Try to Kill Conwell Steele
Boys Called Him Dago.

UNIoNTowN, Sept. a.-The Stea
murder case went to the jury at 6
O'Clock this evening, and after being
out three hours brought in verdict
of not guilty. Owing to the age OF
the little fellow who was, on trial for
the murder, great deal of interest
had been manifested in his case.
Stea is the Il-year-old boy who kill
ed his playmate, Conwell Steele, son
of William Steele, prominent shoe
man of Brownsville, last July. The
testimony throughout showed that
Stea did not throw the stone with any
evil intention.
The boys had been playing, and
some of them called little Joe Stea
"Dago" and ran him to his home. He
hurled a stone at his pursuers, strik-
ing Conwell Steele on the forehead,
from the effects OF which he died Is
hours later. The defense's plea was
that the killing was accidental, and
the only witnesses were the youthful
defendant and his mother, who eorro-
borated the boy in his statement. Joe
Stea was the youngest person ever
tried in this county for murder.

They Want to Dispense With the Dis.
pensary.

The order of the Board of Regents
passed at their last session COMPEL
ing the students to pay fee of &c
cents each term is arousing intense
Indignation among the students,
The fee is to equip Dispensary
where students in case of injury
may be treated. The fee is small
one but the boys think that they
ought to have voice in who they
shall have as physician and that
they should have some say about
such fees being imposed. In no schoo
in the U. S. is such fee compulso
ry. The order was passed without
the knowledge or consent of the fac
ulty. No one physician suits every
body. These being the facts in thu
case the boys feel deeply aggrievet
and intend to make vigorous kicl
before the Board at their October
session when it is believed the oh
noxious measure will be repealed.

Long, and Painted Like a Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. a
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part Of the Canon in less
than IL hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
Bile price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 6, 900
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds OF noun
tains greater than any Of the Alpine
range.

The following is taken from the
Commercial Gazette of October
90, 1890, being from speech deliv-
cred by William Mckinley, at Car
negie hall on Saturday night, Octo-
Der, Is, 1890:
I'VE passed silver bill which |
think is the best silver Legislation
that ever passed the American con-
gress. 1t utilizes every ounce Of
silver in the United States and
makes the treasury note issued on
that basis redeemable in gold and
silver, and good in all public debts
and legal tender for all purposes
When Cleveland went out, II cents
was the value of the silver dollar
After this bill passed, the value Of
that same dollar advanced to 80
cents. To my mind, it is the most
liberal legislation passed on the mon
ey question that has ever been sane
toned in congress. 1t gives the PEG
pie more currency, and gives then
volume of money, and puts silver
more nearly on par with gold thar
in Is years, and the time is coming
when gold and silver will be march
ing side by side doing the business
of the country"

SOBER SIDES.

A nice question to ask the Popocrat
is why the prospect Of Republican
success never had demoralizing In
fluence on business in this country
When the mere threat Of free silver
involves such disastrous conditions as
II has developed in this country, it is
simply appalling to think of what the
actual realization of free coinage would
result in.
These two statements were clipped
from the same issue of the Pittsburg
News. 1t may afford good mental
gymnastics TO our rea ders, to try and
make them gee with their prophecies
of predicting Republican success.

MANY of the great corporations

panies, the insurance companies
and manufacturing concerns-are
trying to bulldoze not only their EN-
ployees, but their customers and
clients, into opposing the Democrat
ic candidates because of the free sill
yer platform. The average Ameri-
can citizen cannot be driven and we
believe this attempt at coercion will
be stoutly resisted by the people.
The fabulously wealthy corpora
tions are fighting free silver with all
the means in their power, because
they fear that there will probably
be limit put upon their money

sal fortunes were stopped in this
