HAS M'KINLEY LOST HIS MEMORY:

We shall be forced to believe after
awhile that Hanna is wise in imposing
on his candidate the injunction of
silence
Last Saturday, while Hanna was in
New York trying hard to fry some "fatn
out of the millionaires who control the
gold Syndicate, a delegation of profess
sional politicians from Pennsylvania
called on the Republican candidate from
Canton. They entered the town in the
similitude of circus, and proceeded to
wake up Mckinley and all his neghbors.
Naturally, the gold syndicate candidate
felt called on to make. speech, and
among other things, he said
We have had three years of bitter ex-
perience under policy which the Repub-
lican party has always opposed and there
has been nothing in that experience to
win us to that policy, but everything to
increase our devotion to the old policy of
protection, which stands opposed to it.
We do not know whether to believe Mr..
Mckinley is Il political fraud or whether
he is loathe to admit what the whole
country knows to be true-.that the
difference between Clevelandism and Re
publicanism is the difference between
tweedledum and tweedledee The bitter
experience which we have had during the
past three years has been under policy
which the Republican party inaugurated
and throughout the whole of his second
term Mr.. Cleveland has had the active aid
and support of the Republican leaders in
Congress and of the Republican organs
throughout the country.
1t is hardly possible that Mr.. McKin-
ley, the candidate of the gold syndicate,
can have forgotten that which is still
fresh in the memories of the honest
masses of this republic-namely, that in
| all his efforts to impose the gold standard
| on this people in all it's hideous naked
ness, Mr.. Cleveland had the active SYM
pathy and support of the Shermans and
the Reeds and their Republican followers
| in Congress.
Surely Mr. Mckinley cannot have for
gotten that but for the aid of the Repub-
licans in Congress Mr. Cleveland could
not have carried out his gold standard
policy, and that every bond deal that he
made with McKinley's present hackers
was endorsed by John Sherman and the
Republicans who act with him.
1t is hardly possible that Mr. Mckinley
is ignorant of the fact that the present
policy of contracting the currency to
meet the views of gold owners was begun
in 1867 under II Republican President
and has been consistently carried out by
the Republican party ever since We
know that he is not ignorant of the fact
that the whole financial policy which
comes under the head Of Cleveandism is
endorsed by Republicans.
If the support that Cleveland has re-
ceived from Republican Congressman
during the past three years had been
taken away, his administration would
have been powerless for evil, for ma.
Jority of his party was against every
measure calculated to sacrifice the in
terests of the people for the benefit of the
shylock class.-Atlanta Constitution.

SNOWSTORM IN ILLINOIS.
Heaviest in the knowledge of the
Chicago Weather Bureau.

CHICAGO, Oct 11.-Of all the snow
storms to fall in the month OF October In
this vicinity the one that visited Chi
cago this morning was the heaviest in
the knowledge of the Weather Bureau
for the last twenty years. Lake
traffic within its reach was delayed for
the six hours it lasted. Pedestrians who
were forced to brave the elements on
the streets did so with their heads bent
forward to avoid the sleet and snow
driven around corners by sharp winds.
Although snow fell in heavy flakes
for hohrs, except on the wooden floors
of the bridges, it did not remain much
longer tan it fell. A cloudy night ter
n,:rated by the steady downpour of
fine, misty rain. This continued until
S o'clock, when the temperature fell and
snow became mixed with the rain. At
o'clock the temperature was 3S de-
grees. By 9:15 it had fallen to 33 de-
grees. Then began the snow. 1t was
mixed with both sleet and rain at first,
but became a genuine snowstorm in
thirty minutes and lasted until IL
o'clock. At this hour the fall ceased.
The storm confined itself to the lake
region. 1t showed in Southern Michi-
gan and Eastern Wisconsin up to noon.
A heavy fog settled ON the lake and
none Of the outbound vessels left port
until it cleared away. The lake was
rough and choppy, but the principal
danger was in the inability Of pilots to
see far enough ahead to prevent col
lisions. Vessels arriving at this port
since the storm began made their way
carefully and slowly.

WATERLOO OF THE SPANISH
Statement Made by Depcsed Men,
Der OF General Weyler's Army.

NEW YORK, Oct 17.-Senor Manuel
j. Moran, who was deposed by Cuba
Captain General Weyler from the ed
itorship of La Discussion of Havana
because of his alleged free treatment OF
events in Cuba, arrived yesterday on
the steamship Cuidad Conda. In an
interview with reporter of the United
Associated Presses to-day he said:
If the plans of General Gomez have
rot miscarried an advance guard of
] 800 patriots is to-day crossing from
the Province of Santa Clara into the
Province of MatanZaS to strike what i9
expected to be the decisive blow in the
campaign. With Maceo in the east
awaiting this movement, and Gomez
pressing forward, the Spanish forces
Will be sandwiched. 1t will be the
greatest, in all probability the final
stroke for freedom.
Not until this struggle is ended" he
continued, and the people of Cuba at
tain their independence, will the world
know how the truth has been syste-
matica1ly suppressed. Under existing
circumstances it is impossible 10 send
out the truth concerning any victory
or advantage gained by the insurgents,
editor of a newspaper publish any news
distaSteful to the Captain General he
puts the editor to torture until he re-
veals the author. Refusal means i'm
prisonment. Betrayal of the author of

| that person.
There are fewer executions than
there were six months ago Within the

by Premier Canovas not to kill so many
as it was attracting too much attention
! Whatever executions take place now
| are in secret.
THE Spanish commanders under
Weyler are beginning to show the white
feather. 1t may seem incredible to an
| American, but L state the simple truth
when l say that the royal troops in the
province of Havana are never moved in
| bodies of less than a thousand They
are afraid to venture out with a smaller

| when / state that General Weyler, who
processes to be as able a tactician as he
| is a butcher, now proposes as his coup
de grace to surround the impregnable
nights held by Maceo and wait for the
Cuban General to come down.
The patriot army is better equipped
at present than it has been at any time,
all reports to the contrary notwith-
standing. No one knows better than
Weyler that Maceo cannot be dislodged
from his position in Pinar del Rio.
Nevertheless, the Captain General is
actually in earnest in his crazy plan to
besiege him. The advance guard of
Gomez, / have no doubt, is at this mo-
| ment in the province of Santa Clara or
on its border, and the most important
engagement of the revolution cannot be
far off. The Spaniards may meet them,
and when they meet" and Moran's
dark eyes lighted up, 1T will be the
Waterloo Of the Spanish army on the
continent of South America"

WHEAT REACHES ONE-FIFTY.
Excitement Among the Spectators at
San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.-The ex-
element among wheat spectators to-
day was extreme and reached a cul-
minating point from which a natural
reaction can be expected. The market
went wild at the Call Board opening
at 9:15, when wheat at last touched
81 80. The May option which closed
yesterday at 81 43, opened at 81 so,
and sold back to 81 1912, closing on
the call at 81 1875. December opened
at 81 Az, rose to 81 As, dropped to
81 1864 and recovered to 81 47&.
At 1915 a. m. the excitement was at
its greatest. December opened at
81 4S34, and rose to 81 90 and May
opened at 81 51al and sold down to

At 11:15 the market had a sharp de-
cline. December opened at 81 471h and
fell to 81 46l2. May opened at 81 49l4

ably on that account that he cut his

principal speech of the evening there,

WHEAT GOING UP.
An Advance of Four Cents Noted in
the Chicago narket.

CHICAGO, Oct lit was another
great bull day in the wheat pit of the
Chicago Board of Trade. The excite
ment was at the highest stage all
through the session. December wheat
took another flyer in price, four cents
over the closing price yesterday, al
though 1913 cents was the official closing
quotation. December really brought
IG1S cents before the scrambling left
the pit. Yesterdays closing price was
121s cents.
There was general alarm when the
market opened this morning, lest there
would not be enough wheat to go around
and there was not a bushel to be had
for less than IA cents advance on yes
terday's closing price. In fact, very
little could be had under Il cents or 13s
cents higher than it closed yesterday for
December delivery.
The reason for this sudden and sub
stantial rise was to be found by glanc-
ing at the Liverpool and London cables
The foreign markets led in the scramble,
just as they did the day before, and the
advance of 3 cents in Liverpool was
quickly echoed here.
With this starter, the December prices
bid We're from 1879 to "A cents This
advance was quickly followed by
further exchange dispatches. both for
eign and domestic, which started the
price to 741S cents. News came from
San Francisco that two more steamer
crgoes of wheat had been taken for
India, and that inquiries We're being
made for sailing vessels to take more
wheat to India.
The whole situation was regarded here
as a consequence of the stolid indiffer-
erce of European grain dealers during
the last year to the risk they We're run
