HONESTY AGAINST DISHONEST,

This is the policy that Bryan is
asking the honest men of the United
States to vote for:
eve demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage of both silver and gold
at the present legal ratio of 16 to l,
without waiting for the aid or con-
sent of any other nation. We de-
mand that the standard silver dollar
shall be a full legal tender, equally
with gold, for all debts, public and
private, and we favor such legislation
as will prevent for the future the de-
monetization of any kind of legal
tender money by private contract -
And this is the statement of prin,
ciples to which Mckinley adheres:
eve are unalterably opposed to
every measure calculated to debase
our currency or impair the credit of
our country. We are, therefore,
opposed to the free coinage of silver,
except by international agreement
with the leading commercial nations
of the world. which we pledge our
serves 10 promote; ana unClI Sucn
agreement can be obtained the exist
ing gold standard must be pre-
served"
The Chicago platform, says tie
Tribune, means that the savings
banks and insurance companies may
pay 53 cents to every poor man who
has a claim upon them. The St.
Louis platform means that, as now,
under the existing gold standard,
every dollar which the Iaborer re-
ceives for his work, the farmer re-
ceives fo1 his wheat, and the thrifty
man pays for insurance or puts in
the bank, is worth 100 cents, so
shall every dollar received or paid
out by them in the future be worth
100 cents in every market in the
world. Every man who wishes to
do Justice and to receive justice
must vote for Mckinley.

Two years ago in speech de-
livered at Springfield, Missouri, Mr.
Bryan said: "The increase of coin
age decreases the value and vice
versa. We don't find perfection III
any human being; nor can we ex-
pect to find it in a dollar, gold or
silver. The advantage Of having
metallic money is that the supply is
large and regular enough to prevent
great fluctuations. The objection to
paper money is not that it will not
pass if limited in amount. It will
float along with gold and silver as
long as it pays taxes and debts. The
danger is that the presses may be
set to work and too great fiuctua-
tions result. The value of each
dollar depends on the number in
existence" Now the young orator
is declaring that the silver dollar is
the most adorable thing on earth,
and although unlimited coinage will
decrease its value, still he is in favor
of it.

fair charmer were away. He has
more vice presidents to take care of
than he can handle, and their prolix-

that he would not run if Sewall were
turned down. We think not. That

PAUPER IMMIGRANTS.
HUNDREDS LANDING DAILY AT
NEW YORK.
In a Great Many Instances One Dollar
Represents Their Financial
Possessions.

NEW YORK, April 13.-The steam
ship Bolivia of the Anchor Line arrived
from Genoa and Naples yesterday. She
brought 1876 italian immigrants. Six
hundred of them were detained at Ellis
Island, on the ground that they are
likely to become public charges. Of this
number none had more than a dollar or
so, while many Of them We're practically
renniless. DR.. Senner said that only 10
per cent of those detained would be al
lowed to land.
The steamship Alesia of the Fabre
Line, also from Naples, reached the bar
at 10 o'clock last night, with l ,O64 more
On board. They We're landed at Ellis
Island to-day. The immigration au-
thorities are surprised at the great in
fiux Of Italian paupers. More than 15,-
900 have already arrived, and Dr. Sem
ner has received advices that 10 600
more are about to sail from Naples.
Dr. Senner is very alert, and is en-
forcing the immigration laws to the let
ter, particularly in the case of Italians,
in the hopes of discouraging their fell
low -countrymen, but this apparently
has no effect on them.
What they will do in this country I
sm at loss to comprehend" said Com
missioner Senner. Already this year
we have admitted more than $4,000
Italians. A cable dispatch last Thurs
day stating that $1,000 more were ready
to start from Naples is correct, and they
Will come along as soon as they secure
passage, so you see that before spring
melts into summer we shall have an ad-
ditional 10000 OF Italy's refuse popula-
tion to compete with American laborers
Many of those who arrived yesterday
had not sufficient money with which to
purchase pint of bad claret. In a
great many instances 81 represented
their financial possessions, and a ma
jority will undoubtedly be sent back.
Another Anchor Line steamship, the
Belgravia, is now on her way to this
port from Naples. and will arrive in
about three weeks with 1400 more
Italians.
There are several causes to which we
might attribute the extraordinary out
put from Italy. The prime cause, to my
mind, however is the great dissatisfac-
tion with the condition of their native
country. 1t is probably a fact that a
large percentage coming here are flee
ing to escape being pressed into service
as soldiers. Then, again, they may be
rushing over for fear the introduction of
an educational test to strengthen our
immigration laws might keep them out
later.
What / might term the semi-official
Endorsement of several large COLOMBIA
ton schemes, which have also been
sanctioned by the Italian Emba ssador,
may have something to do with the
sudden exodus from Italy.
1T is mistaken idea in the minds of
a great many that immigration gener-
ally is increasing. That is not SO. Out
side of special Italian immigration our
statistics show decrease of more than
40 per cent. since the immigration laws
were made more stringent in 1S93'

HAZLETON Pa), April 13.-An-

shocking murder is added to the many
committed in this region. Munar is the

Last Monday night Munar was in
Freeland and took the trolley as far as
Japan station when going home. On
the same car were two other men, un-
known to the conductor. They also left
the car at Japan. Munar was found
the next morning at the bottom of a
mine hole. He recovered sufficiently to
tell what happened to him, but could
not Identify his assailants
After leaving the car the two men re-
manned behind him until crossing the
flats, when they closed in upon him and
demanded his money. Munar was un-
armed, but determined to fight He was

into submission. After the brigands

Shortly after 8 o'clock the stars ap-

than usual steadiness for this contest,
while McKeever was also in great form.
The first five rounds were in favor of
Griffo but the rest of the fight was to
McKeever's credit. He was the aggres-
sor until the end of the twentieth round,
and frequently had Critic on the ropes.
Critic defended himself superbly, but
