A Scrap Of History Closed on Facts as
to the Leadership Of Jones en- the
Tariff Situation.
CRITICS KNOCKED our.

admirable defense Of Senator Jones
against his critics in Arkansas, aud
Ii states facts so clearly that even
the Helena World man OF Clarke
himselfdare not contradict.
We trust We may be pardoned for
copying the piece in full:
Senator Jones finds himself bit
terly attacked by his Arkansas
opponents for the part he took in
training the tariff law He Is char
ged with selling out to German
and Buce, with listening to the
manufacturers and abandoning the
Democratic idea he supposed to
represent.
The Senator has replied that had
he taken a different stand the
Mckinley law would still be in force
and effect.
he might have added, also, that
the charge of iucompetency and
inability to legislate which has been
brought against the Democratic
party would have been proved.
Senators Jones and Vest were
CHARGED with a peculiar RESPONSE
bility. They we're asked to frame
a tariff bill which would pass the
Senate. 1t was quickly developed
that a bill which would represent
their ideas and the contention OF
their States could not become a law.
The issue reduced itself to the
question as TO whether there should
be substituted for the Mckinley
law a tariff measure making such
reductions as 43 Democratic Sena-
tors would support or whether the
Wilson bill should be defeated.
In the effort to save something
from the wreck of the Wilson bill
Senator Jones worked night and day
for two months During that time
he made for himself I national
reputation. He was hopeful OF
securing the passage of tariff bill,
when his colleagues and the news
paper correspondents declared such
thing was impossible.
There was not a day during the
Senate discussion of the tariff bill
when a less diplomatic Senator than
Jones would not have made the
passage of any bill impossible. Har-
ris, the floor leader, was disposed to
bulldoze q coterie Of Senators who
did not fear his wrath. Vest was so
disgusted with the Senate protec-
tioulsts that he could not consider
them with patience.
The Senate Democratic Steering
Committee pleaded with Jones to be
cautious. He did what few am
bilious Senators have ever con-
sented to do He voluntarily placed
himself in a position where his
motives would surely be questioned,
but where he could not possibly an
swer his critics. Had he been dis
| posed to sacrifice his party he could
have made himself impregnable.
Arkansas would have been de-
lighted any morning during the
tariff discussion to hear that its
Senator had denounced the Eastera
Senators who stood for protection,
1t would have been a good thing for
Jones, but the business of the
United States would still be done
under the Mckinley law. Demo.
Gratis would have no defense against
the charge of iucompetency, and
high protection would have been
the policy of the nation for many
years.

FLOWER TALKS FOR GOLD.
Elected President of fwatertOw nSOund
Money Democratic Club.

WatertowD, n. Y, Aug. 21.-Ex-Gov.
Flower was elected president OF the soun'
| money Democratic club at its meeting
tonight.
The organization has over 100 mem
| bers. In his speech OF acceptance Gov
Flower discussed a point in Mr.. Bryan's
recent diliverance, which has not been
touched upon by others. He said:
I want to CaE your attention To Fart
OF Mr.. Bryan's recent speech in New YORK
in which he unconsciously discloses his
character. To allay the appreheDsions OF
the debtor that free silverle eislatioD might
not be enacted before tie creditor could
call in his leans or foreclose lis mortgage
Mr.. Bryan says: ''Ifin November the people
declare themselves in favor OF the immediate
restoration of bimetallism. the system can
be inaugurated within q few months"
THIS. lie says. can be done by tnc virtue
of the Presidents power to convene Con
gress in extraordinary session. The debtor
has said: How shall he able To pay my
debts at the rate OF f;fty-thrce cents on the
dollar, since il will take th.: teen months
at least to enact the necessary legisia-
ton, and in that time my creditor Will
have been able to call in my loan OF fore
close his mortgage.
Mr.. Bryan reassures him and appeals to
his dishoDestyoby saying: Just as soon
as ! am President l shall rush tie system
through tefore the creditor has a chance
to call in his loan OF foreclose his mort
gage" Why this hurry. Mr. Bryan? OBJ
viously you believe in the debasement of
the dollar which will allow the dishonest
debtor to repudiate his debts.
And how does Mr.. Bryan reconcile
this with the assertion. in the prior part
of his speech, that free coinage will raise
the price of silver bullion to S1.29 per
ounce, measured by gold? He cannot
reconcile the two statements, because
il the former is true then there would
be no need for hurrying, because the
debtor would no. be benefited II silver
goes to par with gold. But that Mr..
Bryan knows that his prior assertion is
false and that silver will not advance
is shown by his later assurance that the
''system'' VIII be inau gurated before
the creditor has a chance to collect wha.
is owing to him.
/ should think this man would fear to
expose himself to the wrath OF a people
whose honor he SO grossly insults by offer
ing them bribe OF At cents ON each dollar
of their indebtedness.

Tillman of South Carolina passed through
Harrisburg today on his way to the farm

Jackson City Arrests Turn
Into a Farce.
OFFICIALS ARE NOT EAGER
Ex-Ga m bier Nelson's Efforts to Break
Up the Dens Nuilified by the Ncgli-
gence of fAuthorities-Arrest Men
Released on Bonds-Judge Chiches-
ter's Aid to He Invoked.

EX-Ganbler John T. Nelson finds himself
retarded, instead of aided by the Alex
andrIa authorities in his efforts to rid
jackson City Of those dens and resorts
which have made the name of the town
the synonym of iniquity.
Although Nelson and his witnesses stood
ready to prove that wiiSam Mudd a deputy
sheriff Of Alexandria county, allowed
policy to be played i'll a house, of which
he had been placed in charge, Sheriff
Palmer put the warrant for William Mudd's
arrest, together with thirteen others. in
his pocket and said he would attend to
them.
This was done when Charles Mudd, for
whom warrants are issued on the charge
of selling liquor on Sunday and of pro
noting policy, was not only in Jackson City
but in the very sarEe room, as was Jack
Potter, jr.. for whose arrest there is a
warrant on the charge of running a crap
table. No assistance has Eeen rendered by
either States Attorney johnson or Prose-
cutting Attorney Marbury.

| Nelson intended to 20 to Fairfax Court
| House this morning to bring the ma tier to
the attention OF Judge Chichester and to

make Sheriff Palmer and the States at

The evidence which Nelson had gathered
in the ca Sc OF Charles Mudd, who is charged
with promoting policy and selling liquor
on Sunday, is convincing. Harry Chandler
and Muck Butler were partners in the
| saloon business and continued to carry
k@t..t,
into the tolls and incidentally into the
Alexandra county Jail. Butler then
usurped the ownership and was making
