MR.. CARLISLE's CANDIDACY.

A few days ago the gosslps started q
"boom" for Mr.. Carlisle, the Secretary
Of the Treasury. 1t was announced
by wire everywhere that the Secretary
would fall heir to the good will and
good offices Of the administration, and
therefore his friends might expect all
the backing that the President and his
advisers could rally,
1t developed in day or so, however,
that IN the old stronghold of, DemoC-
racy, the solid South, Mr.. Carlisle's
Well-known gold monometalllc views
could find no reliable support among
the common people In that region. 1t
had not dswned on the Presidential
mind that the home and birthplace Of
the Farmers Alliance was In the South
and that among the many good tenets
Of the Alliance creed Is this: We de-
mand the free and unlimited coinage
Of gold and silver at the legal ratio
l6to1.

ALL GOOD DOLLARS.

The Philadelphia Ledger, one of the
strongest gold papers in the East, and
recognized as among the most conserv.
ative journals in the country, In defin.
ing the character Of the money it
favors, says:
Whatever dollars we have in this country
must be good dollars, as good in the hands Of
the poor As the rich, equal dollars equal in in
herent merit, equal in purchasing power,
whether they be paper dollars, or gold dollars,
or silver dollars, or treasury notes, each con.
yertible into the other, and each sxchAngea-

BIMETALIIsM DEFINED BY A BRITON.

BIMETALLISM DEFINED BY A BRITON.
Referring recently to the proposition
to bring before the British Parliament
a resolution fsVoring bimetsllism, Sir
John Lubbock thus defined the term:
Bimetallists have always declined TO COM
NIT themselves to any ratio. But 1t Is obVi-
Gus that the results Of change would to
great extent depend upon the ratio which was
adopted. At present, roughly speaking, gold
Is more than three times the value Of silver.
There are some bimetallists who would insist
on q ratio approaching the market values.
For practical purposes, however, we may ct
once dismiss any such idea. In France the
legal ratio Is still 151S to 1, and no French
authority has shown any disposition to &C
cept any material change. America would,
believe, take similar view.
Practically. then, bimetallism means q ratio
Of 10 or 15115 to 1, that is, foreign countries
should be permitted to send US any quantity
Of silver ct double fits present price. Bimetal-
lists tell us that IL there was any practical
probability Of the adoption Of bimetalliSm the
value Of silver would rapidly rise Idoubt,
however, whether this would be the result.
We should rather, think, see great stimulus
given TO silver mines, great increase In the
production Of silver, and all creditors would
do their best to call in their debts while they
could still claim payment in gold.

equal value and has behind It security, good
not by the fiat Of law alone, but good because
the whole commercial world recognizes its in
herent and tnextinguishable value.
This has a nice look on paper and
sounds well to the ear; but when the
POpulist Senator from Kansas pro-
posed to enact 1t into law by a bill pre-
pared specially for that purpose, his
bill was unceremoniously postponed
without day.
The truth is that men who favor the
gold basis for all money do not intend
that any dollars except those made of
gold shall be as "goOd as any other
dollar"

GREAT issues are at stake this year and now
Of ell times, IS when Kansas Republicans
ought TO cease lighting each other on personal
grounds and join hands for the overthrow Of

LELAND AND THE ADMINISTRATION.

1t has been repeatedly stated either
in direct or an indirect way by the
Republican press that Leland had no
undue influence with Morrill,. To
Morrilrs enemies Leland poses as his
enemy also. To Lelsnd's enemies the
administration crowd is one of them.
There can be no doubt about Le-
lands control of the late Wichita con.
Vention. There can be no doubt about
his making q fight for Murdock and
against Carpenter. There can be no
doubt but that he used every influence
in his power to compel the convention
to indorse Murdock, who disagrees
with his party on silver, the tariff, and
with a large element Of it on prohibit
tion.
Capt. Barker, one of Morrilps sp-
pointees, who was q delegate, could
not swallow the dose, and he voted for
Senator Carpenter, who, whatever his
Republicanism may be, is given credit
for being an honorable man. Now to
show the depths Of depraVity to which
Morrill,, at the dictstiOn of Leland, has
sunk, the Governor has declined
to resppoint Barker, whose term
expires April 1. He must pay
for his independence and manhood
by losing his official scalp. The man
sgement Of the State institutions must
lose the valuable services Of a man
who tries to be honest, because he will
not be dictated to by the bosses In
the party convention. What "busi-
ness" administration! What q re-
demptionl What a condition when
the deaf, the dumb, the blind, the Inn.

gibles must be subjected to a

THERE is justly much complaint
among Republicans because the Ohio

THE POPULIST PARTY AND THE SILVER
PEOPLE.


The Populist party il an organized
entity. 1t has a place on the map of
politics. At its birth twenty.six States
were represented. At It's first national
election Its registered vote was nearly
seventeen hundred thousand. Its rep.
resentstiVe men in State and nation
have brought It to stage of great In
fluence and power. They now hold the
scales In Congress 80 that they go up
or down as Populist Senators dictate.
But how is 1t with the silver people ?
Wherever they are organized it is only
as friends of silver reconciliation,
and more than 95 per cent. of them are
Democrats and Republicans, insisting
on doing their reform work In their
own parties. Mr.. Tillmsn, a radical
silver man, says publicly and privately
that he proposes to take his State dele.
cation to the Democrat national con.
Vention, and to take them there as
Democrats, representing the Democrat
party Of South Carolina. So It is with
all other Democrats In Congress. And
Republicans In that body take the
same partisan ground. Up to this
time not one Democrat or Republican
In public life has declared himself alb
solved from allegiance to his party on
the silver question or any other sub
jeCt.
When the day Of trial comes, as come
It will, what viii these men doP When,
In the beginning Of proceedings in
both national party conventions reso.
luton is proposed and carried, binding
every delegate TO abide by and support
the platform and the candidates Of the

 After using the Electropoise about thirty days began to improve, and now l can do as much work as any man, and weigh 166 pounds. My bowels are per fectly regular and have never taken a drop of medicine since got the Electro boise.

The other morning they aWoke and, missing her. a search was made and her lfeless body found some little distance from the house. There were no marks of violence on her person and it is believed that she wandered out during the night, sank to the ground from the exertion and the exposure in her aged and feeble condi- 'tlon caused her death She claimed to be 115 years old and those who knew her believe this claim to have been true. She could tell of things that occurred a cen tury ago in such a way as to leave lt- tie doubt that she was present and wit messed them or heard of them as they happened. Her eyesight and hearing were comparatively good, although she was very decrepit and her mind of late years almost a blank.
