TO do justice to the debtors of

be legal tenders. But debtors
are probably irretrivably ruined
anyway, so we may as we'll leave

Such an issue of certificates

AN EASY WAY OUT.

AN EASY WAY OUT.
Grave and gray haired states
men are now sitting in Washing
ton solemnly deliberating how
they can save the nation from
bankruptcy. These men have
trembled with fear lest gold
should go to a premium, dire dis
aster should follow, and hence
have advised the issue of humid
reds of millions of interest BEAR
ing bonds to prevent such a CAL
amity. Yet this last contem-
plated bond issue, has driven
gold to a premium in the open
markets and it is so quoted open
ly on the exchanges. The very
remedy they are advocating is
simply adding fuel to the already
cracking fires. We have paint
ed out the utter folly, if not alb
solute criminality of this in.
sane strife for gold. Let the
the government put on any tar
if on importations it is a mind
to, no matter how high. it will in
no wise stop the appreciation of
gold while the world is striving
to outbid each other for it. Debt
in the world to-day payable in
gold is SO enormous, that the
bidding for it,, and consequent
appreciation, will only stop
when the ability Of creditors to
procure it for property will cease.
This is as evident as that two
and two makes four.
We have said before and say
again that keeping on the gold
standard means inevitable bank
ruptcy to all debtors public and
private.
Now private debtors are of
course helpless in this dilemma.
They must take their medicine
be it ever SO bitter.
But with 4 sovereign govern
ment it is di fferent. 1t is one
of the attributes of sovereignty
to make it's promises a legal
tender of debt public and private
when circumstances involving
its own existence and the public
welfare demand it.
The RepU blic;ns contend that
it is only deficiency Of revenue
that ails the country. Now if
that is 50. why not issue treas
ury certificates nOn-interest bear
ing. not reiIeemable in gold. but
receivable for all public taxes,
duties and dues to the govern
ment to cover this deficiency.
Even without legal tender quail
ty, such government due bills
would circulate among all ordin-
ary patriotic people. Pensioners
would take them gladly, so would
all the employees of the govern
ment. They would be the best
money conceivable. with the ex-
ception Of d full legal tender note,
far better than gold Or silver
money to the public at large.
The government could easily pay
out $500, 100000 a year of such
certificates. They would circu-
late us we'll as the certificates do.
Silver certificates are not legal
tender, and are only redeemable
in silver. Their par value de-
ponds on their redeemability for
public dues: Now we say that if
the financial doctors at Washing
ington do not want to issue full
legal tender notes, let them issue
the class Of certificates that we
Indicated and the whole difficulty
is solved. Not an interest bear
ing bond should
have been issued. There has
not been the slightest necessity
for doing so, no matter how
much deficiency of the revenue.
All the government has to do. is
to- issue it's simple non-inter:
est bearing due bills redeemable
in taxes. Such due bills will
pass for their face value, not only

WORK OF WHITE SUPREMISTS
Louisiana Negroes Shot Down In Cold
Blood for Attempting to Reg
lister for Voting.

st. Louis, April "a special to the
Republic, from New Orleans, says: A
serious riot. growing out of the regis
tration trouble occurred in st. Landry
parish today, in which two negroes
were killed, six or seven others wound
ed and many others whipped. The su.
pervisor of registration of St Landry,
having his headquarters in Opelousas,
the negroes believed the presence of
troops there would protect them from
the regulators, or white supremists,
assembled in large bodies in that town.
A party of 100 negores left Grand
Prairie for Opelousas, but were inter-
cepted about half way by band of
regulators and told they would not be
allowed to register. They attempted
to pass when they were fired upon and
two killed and six or seven wounded.
The others were given fifty lashes each
and returned home. The affair created
panic among the Opelousas negroes
and only few of them registered. A
large number Of citizens Of Opelousas
have asked that the militia be kept
there until after the state election.
April 90, but the Fontenoi faction, or
white supremists, demand that the
state troops be removed at once. There
have been ten killed and thirteen
wounded 80 far over the st. Landry po-

The North Pole Story.

st. Petersburg, April 9.-At last the
true origin of the story about DR..
Nansen's discovery Of the north pole
has been told. The story came from
Tomsk, through the merchant, Kusch.
nareff, who is the uncle Of Kandakoff,
the originator Of the news. His state.
ment is that his nephew did nothing
more than transmit the report. It ap-
pears that in the new Siberian islands
there have been three parties in search
of mammoth bones One Of those par.
ties returned some time ago and said
they had seen a ship in the neighbor-
hood Of the islands with Europeans on
board. They did not attempt any
communication with the ship nor did
they even watch it. Kandakoff, to
whom the mammoth hunters brought
the news, thought it might relate to
Nansen, and wrote thus to Irkutsk,
from where it was sent out all over the
world. In the Siberian islands there
still remains two parties of hunters
who will return in November, and
who, perhaps. may bring some details.

THRILLING STORY.
OF Narrow Escape From the Spanish
Patrol.

OF Narrow Escape From the Spanish
Patrol.
Philadelphia, April "a thrilling
story of shipwreck and a narrow
escape from death at the hands Of the
Spaniards, patrolling the south coast
of Cuba, was told today by Mate
William Adams, of the British bark
Earncliff, which was recently wrecked
on the small island known as Cape de
Cruz, lying to the southeast of Cuba.
Mate Adams, with seven other men,
bers Of the crew, arrived here from st.
James on board the Earn line steam
ship Earnwood. He says the crew
took to the open boat when the vessel
struck. as she became total wreck,
and pulled for the shore of the island,
expecting to land. They were faint
from exhaustion, but were driven back
into their boats by Spanish soldiers,
and their only alternative was to row
north to Manzanilla a distance Of sew
enty five miles, which took them forty
eight hours to reach. Their suffer
ings were intense, as the heat became
unbearable.
They were hailed at o'clock, March
3, by a Spanish man-of-war. Mate
Adams could not get her name, but she
made them come along side, and off,
GERS came into the boat and searched
her from stem to stern. All protested
that they were only shipwrecked sea-
men, but the Spanish never offered to
take them on board. After about an
hours detention they were set adrift,
and on the evening of the following
day, more dead than alive, they reached
Manzanilla. Here they were again
detained for some time until the Span
ish authorities satisfied themselves they
were not filibusterers.

godets. A Louis XVI coat, opening in
front over full vest of white chiffon,
with broad reveres, draped with rare
old Honiton lace, half yard in width,
extending down each side of the front
and draped over the hips, formed

full, tapering to the arm below the
elbow and extending in fall Of lace
to the wrist. Around the neck there
was plush COLLAR of palest blue vel
vet, over which was entwined a rope
of magnificent pearls, fastened with

sidered by the Fifty-Fourth
Session-Senate,

Washington, April 8.-The senate
spent the entire day on the postoffice
bill and did not complete it. The bill
served to bring out some sharp criti.
cisms by German on the administrs.
ton Of the postoffice department, and
by Allen on alleged irregularities re-
sulting from the civil service system.
Mr.. Allen repeated the Sensational
charges as to large money contribu.
tions said to have been made in the in.
terests of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Har.
rison. The charge that Mr.. Wanna.
maker contributed $500, 900 toward
Mr.. Harrison's election led to an en-.
phatic denial from Hawley. Allen
alluded to the president as This ma
jesty," and as "the chief mugwump
Of the country" The bill providing
for the protection Of salmon in the
streams of Alaska was today favorably
reported by Senator Perkins from the
committee on fisheries. The bill was
amended by the committee.
Washington, April 9.-The postofice
appropriation bill, which has engrossed
the attention of the senate for almost q
week, was passed by that body just

minutes at the beginning Of the ses-
sion, was devoted to debate and voting
upon the amendments proposed to the

consolidation of similar offices with
larger ones receiving the greater share
Of attention. The discussion on this
proposition again took the form of
debate upon the merits of civil service
