of our politicians who have not the courage to tell the people when they get wrong on these economic ques- tions. l know that it is regarded as political death for a man in a rural district not to throw up his hat and applaud these delusions, but Eff my people want man of tbat kind to represent them they can get rid of me and I willingly and gladly retire from political life."
 In respohse to question by MT. Talbot the speaker said he did vote for the free coinage bill in the extra session in 1893.
 But, he continued, ''I will tell the gentleman that I have pro- gressed since that tims while he is standing where I was three years ago. Uaughter).
 But 1 want to say few words now on this question of consistency. I find upon investigation in the Bureau of Education that the Chi nese, the inhabitants of the Indies and the tribes of Africa are the only human beings that are continually consistent The lower grades of animals are also always consistent. I maintain that the reasoning, thoughtful, clear headed men who pass through the world with their minds to the investigation of truth are ever liable to change.
 "Where is the intelligent man in thr United States who has not a high regard for the fame of William E. Gladstone, the great English statesman? Listen to that grand old man express his regret that he should have made the blunder that he did in 1852. Observe the course of Bismarck, the greatest German statesman. When he was advocat- ing the sale of the silver of Germany for whatever price could be obtained for it and was approached by one of his friends who said: I am just where you were ten years ago, the reply was:
 That was the political blunder of my life; and l have had intelli- gence enough to profit by it and move forward.
 "I did not intend to make an ad- dress farther than to put myself on record as one Democrat from rural district west of the Mississippi, in a purely agricultural region, that dares to stand up and say that sound money is the salvation Of the agri- cultural and laboring classes of this Government.

Harry Lindsay Threatens the Life of Constable
 PhilpOt.

Harry Lindsay, negro drayman, is now an inmate of the conNty jail awaiting trial for disturbing the peace and quietness of the City of Pine Bluff. The circumstances which led to Lindsay's arrest are about as follows:
 Yesterday morning Constable Philpot was on East Barraque street, where he met a woman, whom, as he supposed, owed him 8 balance on fine. He accosted her and asked when she intended to pay him the money The woman turned around and the Constable at once saw that he had made mis- take in the woman. He apologized to her, and told her he thought she was some one else.
 It is presumed that the woman went to her husband, Harry Lind say, and told him that the Con- stable had insulted her. At any rate, later in the afternoon Lindsay came up the street swearing that no d-white man should insult his wife and live, and at each breath he swore that he would either kill Con stable Philphot or be killed by him before night. Friends reported the threats to the Constable and he with other officers soon found Lind say in the presence of large crowd of negroes making threats upon Pi'phot's life. Lindsay was arrested for disturbing the peace, and in default of bond for $50, is now in jail awaiting trial

Two ocean steamers coming to- gether at full speed, and then the open sea scene, with the waves run hing mountain high, tossing man from crest to crest as though he were but a cork. The curtain down, the lights up, and the doubters are wondering what can he have to follow. Then comes the street scenes in Chicago, fhe harbor ut night, showing all the familiar buildings, the vast water front, the Randolph street viaduct, etc, quickly followed by the dissec- ting room scene in a medical college, and another act of novelties has passed. The next one is up to the standard, in comedy excellence, and then the gorgeous autumnal beauty of the final act is shown, and with it ends play which, starting in at concert pitch" stays there, and keeps an audience with wonder in their minds, amazement on their faeees, and their hands gripped on the arms of their seats.

AMERICA ,
A Small But an Appreeiative Au- dience Witnesses its Second Presentation at the
 Opera. House.

America was reproduced at the Opera-house last night to small but very highly appreciative audi ence. The dancing of little Future May Bloom, Fannie Kaufman, Minnette Weller and Miss Merlo, and the singing of Miss Altheimer and Master Arthur Mehlinger were the most enjoyable features of the en- tertainment and were loudly ap plauded. The Spanish dancers also came in for liberal share of ap- plause. The Washington inaugural ball was more brilliant and grace fully presented than on the former occasion, and was the most brilliant scene of the evening.
 About $20 net was realized by the Young Ladies' Guild from the en- tertainment.
