AUGUST LARSEN, LOUIS ANpERso

AUGUST LARSEN, LOUIS ANDERSON,
WILLIAM ANDERSON, PETER PETERSON,
THOMAS OLsEN-these are the names Of
the boats crew from the Stonington
steamer Nashua that rescued the crew
of barge City OF Norwich, ashore on
the reefs, on Friday. They were seiec-
ted from volunteers of the Nashua's crew
for the dangerous and humane enterprise
because their skipper considered them
hardy enough as well as brave to ac-
complish the task, if it were possible of
accomplishment, and the qualities of en-
durance and intelligence were as neces-
sary as courage, else life might have been
sacrificed instead Of saved. The names
sound Swedish. We shouldn't wonder IL
that quintet .of gallant Jackeys are all
Swedes, and this reminds us that many
OF our bravest, most skilful and most
hardy sailor men are Swedes. Men of that
nation make fine sailors, reliable in every
emergency. Many of them are IN our
navy nj our merchant marine utilities
large numbers of them. They are, we
believe, considered sober and industrious
beyond what is popularity expected of
sailor men, and not in~frequently in the
reports OF incidents like this rescue We
find the Swedish sailor a hero.

~JAMEsoN's RAID.

In response to q message sent to him for
help hy the Utlanders or foreigners Of the
Transvaal Republic, DR.. Jameson. a gentle
man In the employ Of the South Africa Trad
ing Company, crossed the border with q COM
pany OF 500 or 600 men, on December 81, 1895,
hoping to effect a junction with the Utlanders
and compel the Boer government TO make re-
ferns and relieve themselves from the fear
Of massacre. By the failure OF the Utlanders
to join him. Jameson and his companions
found themselves left alone to oppose "a force
OF t0oTor 5000 Boers. who had been ~apprised OF
their coming. Their ammunition being en-
tirely spent, after lighting two severe engage
ments, they were compelled to sur render, the
object for which they came being, however,
STAINED in some degree by the Beers promis-
ing to make satisfactory reforms. The raid
beipg made in disregard OF express orders
from England, DIR. Jameson and others were
handed over to the British government for
trial and punishment. The sender Of the
message for help was John HAYS Hammond,
an American mining expert, who was brutally
iii-treated by the Beers.
Through the wilds beyond the border,
Earnestly we took our way.
Horse and rider through the ~jungles,
Swiftly moved by night and day
Few there were who knew our mission,
None our passage to gainsay.
Strong as mountain torrent surgiLg,
When Is spent the storm cloud's wrath.
Every obstacle unheeding,
So we fastened DER our path,
Laggards none, and towards never
Knew the 10Y such eyrand hath.
Ask not, whether II was lawful:
Ask, what else true men could do;
Weigh the motive for the action,
Would your brethren vainly sue.
II to you they called for succorf
Give ye honor where tits duel
For we heard a cry for freedom,
And we answered it like men.
And. though all the world should blame us,
We would do the same again,
As our fathers did before us
Bear ourselves as Englishmen.
What, though tyrants call 10 failure!
None such efforts failure know;
Other hearts shall beat impetuous,
Other feet shall onward go.
War 'eainst wrong has always ~victoryi
Knows no final overthrow.
Liberty We W as birthright.
We who come from English land;
Sing. ye waves round Britain ever.
Linertyi in tones SO grand
That the world shall grow responsive,
Soon may learn to understand.

Hanna'S SluSh Fund.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 3O.-A PopuliSt
who has been working out in Western
Kansas for the PopuliSt state central
committee reports at headquarters
that the Republican managers in
their effort to elect their candidates
for the legislature are resOrting to a
new scheme to bride voters and evade
the Australian ballot law. The
scheme revealed is this:
The Republican heller goes to a
voter whom he thinks is doubtful or
whom he thinks can be influenced by
money, ascertains his price and makes
the contract for his vote, agreeing to
pay the stipulated sum. The voter
is bound by the contract to vote for
the Republican candidate for repre-
sentative. In order to check up his
vote and to discover if he shall have
performed his part Of the contract,
he is given some imaginary name to
vote for road OverSeer. The heller
says he has been arranged to be on
thdNection board and will check up
the ballots as they are counted. If
that name for road overseer is found
on any Of the ballots the price is to be
paid over. In each case the name
given is different.
For political reasons the man fur
niShing the information asked that
his name be not published. He is,
however, one Of the best known and
one of the most responsible men in
the Populist party in Kansas. The
officers in the state headquarters also
affirm the story is correct. They
claim to have evidence that this is
being worked in several close legisla'
tive districts.

A Present From Leland.

A handsome new banner has been
hung across Kansas avenue, and in
scribed in big letters on its surface
are the names Of Bryan and Watson.
Where the banner came from no
one seems to know. The people woke
up Thursday morning and it was
there. One end is anchored on the
bankof Topeka building and the other
on the Jewell building. 1t is by far
the handsomest campaign banner in
Topeka, 1t is painted on a large and
elaborate scale and near the top on
scroll are the words "Middle-of-the-
road Populists." 1t was evidently
gotten up for the influence 1t would
have on the big crowd at the Festival,
but it excited very little comment
from anyone, 1t did not, like the
0tner banners, serve as directory Tor
a headquarters, but it did obscure the
Bryan and Sewall banner which hung
across Kansas avenue little farther
north.
Who paid for such a magnificent
banner? 1t was not the little hand
full Of men who call themselves mid.
dle-of-the-road Populists, for they are
not the men who have money 10 spend
on banners. The Democrats and Pop
ulists say the banner was bought by
the Republican committee. Certain
it is, it was not bought by Benning-
ton, or Willis, or Abe Steinberger.
To see any state central committee
resort to such subterfuge is disgust
ing. The elaborate banner is said to
be a gift secured through Cy Leland

FROM WASHINGTON.
Special to the VOICE.

special 10 tne VOICE.
Washington, D. c. Oct. 3.-The Nat.
iOnal Campaign has now reached what
might be called the home stretch in
the terrific struggle going on between
the people and the tremendous COM
biDatiOn of trusts, monopOlists and
the gold power. Every man and
syndicate that profits by hard times
and the distress Of the people are
combined to defeat Bryan in this
fight. A number Of men and in
fluenceS that in the past have been
most potent in the management Of the
Democratic party are now allied with
the Republicans to elect Mckinley.
In short, enemies Of the people and
good government, who have hitherto
been divided Into different parties.
are now combined on Mckinley.
Therefore, the patriots who have been
before divided into separate parties
should now, for the same reason, unite
solidly in the support Of Bryan. The
results of this campaign are as impOr-
tant to American institutions and
prosperity as was the result Of the
Revolutionary war over one hundred
years ago. Those Who sulk in their
tents, or breed discomfort, at such a
critical and important crisis are as
criminal as the tories and gOldbugs
who are openly at work to surrender
this Government to foreign DONNA
tiOn.
Joint electoral tickets have been
forced so far In over three-fOurths OF
the states Oh which so many Democrat
electors have been put up for Bryan
and SeWall, and so many P0pullst
electors for Bryan and Watson, thus
giving an opportunity to every voter
opposed to the gold standard to unite
their votes against Mckinley and
Hobart. Ifsimilar arrangements can
be made in the remainder Of the states,
and the Republicans and tory Demo
Gratis fail to breed dissensiOn in their
efforts to get number Of Democrats
and POpulists not to support the joint
electoral tickets, then victory is
assured. Its known that the Repub.
licans have put forward, so far, every
effort to prevent these joint electoral
tickets from being arranged. 1t is al.
so known that they have their agents
in the field, trying to find Democrats

and POpulists to rebel against these
electoral tickets after they are formed.
1t is to be hoped that no honest man
will be caught in this gOldbug trap.
In spite Of the enormous amount Of
money that the Republicans have used
and expect to use during the remain
der of this campaign, they are becom-
ing thoroughly alarmed at the result.
They realize that the American people
are terribly in earnest, and are deter
mined to throw off the oppressive and
traitOrOus yoke Of Clevelandism and
Shermanism. Even the enormous cam.
paign fund of the Republican party is
beginning to prove to be its greatest
weakness everywhere. Voters have
begun to ask themselves who has fur
niShed this enormous campaign fund
20 buy the election for Mckinley and
will not those who have furnished the
money use Mckinley and the Republic
can Congress and levy additional
millions upon the masses Of people?
If the election were held today,
Bryan would undoubtedly win. That
his strength will increase in the next
thirty days is at least moral certainty
Since our last letter joint electoral
tickets have been arranged in North
Carolina, Kentucky, Louisiana, and
Indiana, which insures these state s
for Bryan. 1t is understood at head
quarters that in several more states
arrangements will be made during the
coming week.

Jessie Grants Views on Silver.

San Franc isco Examiner Sept. 9th, 1895.
Jessie R. Grant of San Diego, son Of
President Ulysses S. Grant, is an
earnest and able advocate Of the free
coinage of silver In the United States
In all interview for the Second Silver
Edition Of "The Examiner" Mr., Grant
said:
"The most ridiculous argument Of
the gOld-bugs, to my mind, is that We
must wait for other nations before we
can place silver on an equal footing
with gold, This is perfectly absurd
to any person who has travelled
through foreign countries, Europe
especially, and taken note Of the
condition Of affairs.
"Why should we, the workshop Of
the world, wait on the other fellows
because they happen to have holdings
here and there? Americans have
holdings in foreign countries, too
We do half the business Of the world
right here in the United States. Why
should we wait on the cooperation
Of the other half, which is scattered
all over the globe, with various
tongues and laws that stand III the
way of international agreement. II
wouldn't be three weeks before those
fellows would be tagging after US
trying to get on the same fnancia
basis"
DO you mean that the bushes
donein the United States is half a
much as The worlds traffic?n asked
the interviewer?
Eyes, sir. 1t may aStoDish you t,
know what the United States does il
a business way, entirely within her
borders. They talk of the martini,
commerce Of Great Britain, but yul
don't hear much of the commerce
through the SaulJ Ste. Marie canal
between Lake Superior and LAX
michigan. Yet larger tonnage il
handled through that canal thai
through the Suez canal, und the bust
ness done on the great lakes exceed

world but where are they greater
than in the United States? Why,
Andrew Carnegie furnishes more
freight 10 the Pennsylvania Railroad
than all the business Of South
America. The interstate commerce
of the United States is greater than
that of all Europe. These are
astounding figures, but they are
true. Then why wait on other ma
items when we have the food and the
manufactures right in our own
bOrders?"
But does not England dictate to
Us the price Of our food? Isn't the
price Of wheat regulated in London
and Liverpool"
Wheat" said Mr.. Graft, sis OBJ
tanned by England from three sources.
She buys Of America, Russia and
India. For American wheat she pays
gold, reducing the price by putting it
in competition with wheat that is
sold in Russia and India fol silver.
She comes and buys our silver and
takes it to Southern Russia and India
and buys wheat with it, They have
certain staple market and an estab-
nshed rate-so much wheat for so
many rupees.
"NOw England buys our silver at its
deprecated and undervalued rate, and
places our own wheat in competition
with the demonetized and discredited
silver. Where are We all this time?
We are sitting back and saying, "Oh,
we can't do anything without Eng
land! She regulates the price Of our
wheat
What is the remedy? Why, put our
silver back to s1.29 per ounce. En-
gland must come and get our silver.
She produces none, nor does Europe.
"a study of the situation proves
that the same amount Of silver was
bought and shipped to England and
other foreign countries when silver
was worth 81 and sl.10 and sl.29, as is
shipped now.
1.-THE necessities Of those countries
demand a certain amount Of silver,
especially France and England, where
the people-the common people-see
nothing else but silver in their daily
transactions. The money wears more
rapidly than it does here, and must
be constantly replenished. Then, as
l said, England uses much silver in
the purchase Of wheat, and she buys
that silver Of US,
"If we put our silver back 10 Sl.29
per ounce, where it belongs, England
must pay that price, and consequently
the wheat she buys will cost twice as
much. The Russians and East Ind
ians ask just so much silver whether
it cost sl.29 per ounce or IS cents. So
if the wheat costs England twice as
much our own wheat goes up, doesn't
| it? Is not that plain?
England must eat, and she must
get her food outside Of her own bOr-
ders. We have the food, and we are
able to name our price. The only
reason why London and Liverpool
dictate to US is because we allow
them TO-"
