They Could't Understand It.

Mayor Pallock, who was superin-
tendent of free delivery in the post
Office department under the last
administration, was for some time
stationed on the frontier as an Idian
agent, and was we'll and favorably
known to many of the principal
chefs among the red men. When
ever they sent delegates to Washing
ton to have q pow pow with the
Great Father, the mayors Office was
sure to be visited by them, and they
came sometimes in crowds.
On one occasion, while the Indians
were making call on the major, be
went to the telephone, in another
room, aad called up the Indian Office
When his call was answered he said;
"Tell Frank to come to the phone.
Frank was a half-bred employed ir
the Indian Office.
"Hello Frank" said the mayor
Hold the phone a minute. Youl
uncle is here and wants to talk tc
you"
Then be went into his Office anc
led one of the chiefs to the telephone
Want to talk to Frank" said th.
mayor, placing the transmitter in thu
chiefs hand.

Revolution Not a Fiaseo.

Augusta Chronicle.
The Republican party platform
may be properly briefed as follows:
l. High protection.
2. The gold standard.
3. No State bank currency.
4. Opposition to an income tax.
5. Bounties and subsidies.
6. Interference in Southern cleo
tions.
The Democratic party will oppose
every one of the Republican policies
or measures enumerated above. The
national platform will make the
financial question the leading issue.
It will demand:
l. The free, unlimited and indie,
pendent coinage of silver and gold
/ at 1G to l.
2. A revenue tariff.
3. The repeal of the 10 per cent.
tax.
4. A tax on incomes.
5. Opposition to bounties and sub
sides.
6. No interference with Southern
elections.
This makes the issues between the
Republican and Democratic parties
so plain that every citizen can under
stand them. There will be no eva
sion of the issues involved in the
Democratic platform. The leading
questions will not be in doubt or OBJ
scured by platitudes that may mis-
lead or deceive the people as to their
real meaning.
The Democratic platform will he
the antithesis of the Republican.
All the issues will be sharply defined
and joined in battle royal of the
opposing forces in the Presidential
election.
The people have cause to be thank
full for one thing-that is: No Amer
ican citizen need be decided as to the
meaning and purposes of either the
Democratic or Republican parties in
the event of success in the Presiden-
tial election The success eff the
Republican party means a contir-
uance of high protection and the
gold standard; and low prices for the
products of the South and West and
industrial stagnation throughout the
manufacturing centres of the country.
The success of the Democracy
means free silver coinage (nore
money!, a revenue tariff, higher
prices, a revival of business, and
better times in all departments Of
trade throughout the United States.
There has been a great change OF
public sentiment on the vital issues.
The cause of free silver coinage will
continue to gain strength. Those
who think the movement fiasco,
will awake, after the ides of Novem-
ber, to the conviction, that it is a
veritable revolution an accomplished
fact.

Some one in the audience said,
1--WE hustled for it," and Senator Till
man quickly replied: Il say that If
you claim that you are more econom-
ical, have any more sense, or are
more industrious, that you are liars.
"How many of you here have got
wealth. If any such has wandered
in here he will 60 out and haug him
self before morning for be knows
that he has stolen it. The millions
in your Golfers have been stolen from
the rank and file, from the toll
ers here as well as in South Carolina
and Illinois"
A man demanded the right to ask
the speaker if the goldbugs had
gobbled up all the money and the
people were paupers, if the silver
bugs did not do the same thing?"
1--WE have not said Senator Till
man, "had silverbug in the United
States since 1878, but we are COM
ing, father Abraham, three hundred
million strong. We expect to elect
President, a House and a Senate
without men like you"
"The money of this country is
congested in the Golfers of Wall
street and that is why the men Of
the South and West complain"
"Why do you hear talk now of a
so cent dollar? Because the ratio
has been destroyed by Congress and
it is now worth but so or so cents.
Why is it today at ration of 80 to
127 Because Congress in 1873,
through the rascality of Sherman,
made it so. They protected one
metal and turned the oher out of
doors. Why did Sherman do it?
Because at the close of the war the
United States owed some 1921, 900, 900
and the first thing the did was to
have Congress make law that the
greenbacks should be paid for in
coin of 37l grains fine Of silver or
223-10 fine of gold"
At the conclusion of the speech
free silver resolutions were adopted
and VIM. P. St. John was delegated
to 60 to the Democratic and Populist
conventions to press them upon the
delegates.
A call for silver convention in st.
Louis, July %, to nominate or en-
dorse Presidential candidate was
read, closing the meeting.

Any one who has ever passed one
sleepless night can appreciate in
slight degree at least, the suferings
of one who through weary nights
and days vainly seeks to close his
eyes in slumber, until at last life it.
self becomes almost a waking night
mare. To toss upon ones couch
night after night for weeks with
tired brain and nerves, longing with
out avail for rest; to count the hours
as they drag YEARLY by, the strained
senses startled by every slight sound,
is to experience one of the greatest
Affections that life can bring. Such
was the experience of Mr.. A. T. VIII
COX, of Baldwin, Iowa, who makes
the following statement:
I, A. T. Wilcox of said county and
State deposes and says, that on or
about June 1st, 1894, I purchased
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, and began taking them &C.
cording to directions, and at ncefelt
better and in ten days left decided
change for the better. I continued
to take these pills until about Nov.
1st, 1891. when I had to quit for
want of money.
I can say that this medicine gave
me immediate relief. So much so I
could do my chores, which before
was very difficult, with ease and felt
better than I had for the last ten
years past.
My disease was sleeplessness, cold
feet and constipation of the bowels
and liver troubles together with kid
ney troubles. I want to say that be-
fore I began to take the pills I had
to sit up in my chair to sleep, but in
a few days I began to feel better and
my nights were those of perfect rest.
Rest which one feels that comes
from returning health. Irested we'll
and my sleep was sound.
I began at once to sleep we'll and
slept we'll as long as I used the pills.
I can say for all who are suffering
from any of the above complaints
that it gave me relief and I feel it a
duty to recommend it to all, feeling
sure that it does all that is claimed
for it.

New York, June 25.-The first or
ganized movement in behalf of free
silver in this city was inaugurated to-
: night at Cooper Union and the hall
held a vast assemblage. The meet
ing was under the auspices of the
American silver organization which
has for it's sponsors the Young De-
mocracy,' better known as ex-Sherif
james O'Brien's followers.
Senator Benjamin Tillman of South
Carolina, the chief speaker, received
an ovation as he walked upon the
platform and took a seat under an
ancient painting of Horace Greeley.
The meeting was called to order
by George P. Keeney, the official
general organizer, who called atten-
ticn to the presence Of Senator Till
man. The mention of the Senator's
name set the audience to applauding
again and again and they cheered
vigorously for several minutes.
Senator Bixbit of the State De-
mocracy and Alexander Delmar,
made brief speeches after which Sen
ator Tillman was introduced. He
was again loudly cheered and began
his speech with a bitter attack on the
press Of New York. Then, continu-
ing. he said in part:
''Some of you perhaps have formed
your opinions about me, have also
formed mine about you. You are
the mostignorant AMI benighted COM
munity in the United States. Your
newspapers, upon which you alone
depend for your news and knowledge
of public men and affairs, have studi-
ously kept you hide bound and mar
row by giving you only one side OF
this question. Right here let me say
you are the biggest set of newspa-
per gluttons ever saw in my life.
II have seen the time I would vote
for any man at his bidding whether
idiot or thief, but I have got above
that. Though I appear here as a
Democrat, 1 appear here also in the
high role of an American"
He sarcastically reviewed the po
litieal history and legislation since
MIR. Cleveland was first elected Pres
ident, making bitter attacks on him
