CURED little more than n hundred
days after the assassination of
President Lincoln. And when that
is recalled,--a sad event, equally
deplored by South and North; by
the South because his death could
not make matters any better, and
perhaps worse for the oppressed
and stricken South,-it brings to
mind the lamentable condition of
the whole country, the bitter AMI
mosities, envy, hatred, malice, that
was in every heart. Then the death
of Mr.. Lincoln interferred with the
withdrawal of troops from Ken
lucky.
Far be it from us, the vilest Rebel
of them all, to defend Gen. Palmer
or the Negro soldiers, but some
who are old enough to remember
the action of the Legislature, the
military necessities" the events of
the times, seem wholly to have for
gotten these things.
The fact that the young woman
with "a glib tongue, ready invec-
tives, and patriotic spirit, was a
Rebel, traitor if you will, amounted
to about as much then as does be-
ing a true Democrat now. IIeI
battles were fought out in the par
lor with the brave young men who
farther exhibited their patriotism
in similar battles on the street cor
ners, and survived to condemn Palm
ers and Buckners.

HERE is a truth from Tia

HERE is a truth from Talmage's
sermon of Sunday a week ago that
if constantly kept handy for men,
tai reference will prevent many a
blasted hope
"There are young men and older
men who hope through the right
settlement of this acrid controversy
between silver and gold, or the BIZ
metallic quarrel, that it will become
easy to make living. That time
will never come. 1t never has been
easy to make living. The men
who have it very easy now went
through hardships and self-denials
to which most young men would
never consent. Unless they got it
by Inheritance. you can not men,
ton 20 men who have come to hon
orable fortune that did not fight
their way inch by inch, and against
fearful odds that again and again
almost destroyed them"

In looking over THE OUTLOOK OF
last weeks issue we find where we
stated that "greenbacks were the
only money in circulation before
1873" Technically that isn't cor
rect, but we used the word green
backs" in it's colloquial sense to
include paper currency generally,
knowing, of course, that national
bank notes and greenbacks were
in concurrent circulation. OF
course, also, We meant "before 1878"
to refer to the period between 1873
and the issuance of greenbacks and
national bank notes.

We do think it not good policy
to ghoulishly resurrect dead and
buried war issues for the sake of
their prejudicial effect on current
politics. Only short time ago
Gen. Wallace made bloody shirt
public criticism of the building of
the Richmond monument to Jeffer-
son Davis. Some of our eX-COn-
federatc friends were very wrathy
at his utterances, and, we thought,
Justly so. The obligation to alb
stain from reviving war animosi-
ties is as binding upon one side as
the other. On the Southern side
it is necessary as political policy,
if for no other reason, for the pre-
ponderance of population is in the
North, and the consequent infu-
ence of such prejudices is much
more potent for mischief against
the majority party in the South.
Gen. Palmer while in command
in Kentucky had to obey the orders
of his superiors. Any blame must
attach to his superiors. So far as
we can learn he was as moderate
personally as any one in his posi-
ton could well have been. There
fore it is not good policy, nor gen.
erosity to Gen. Buckner, to assail
Gen. Palmer on his war record. If
Gen. Palmer had been nominated
as a silverite in place of Bryan the
silverites would have supported
him enthusiastically and felt in
dignant if the gold-standard people
had sought to arouse prejudices by
the bloody-shirt method.
Coming to Hamilton again, our
information comedies with yours
so far as you state the agreement
between him and Jefferson on a
bimetallic bill is concerned. They
agreed that the commercial ratio
between gold and silver was the
only proper coinage ratio. They
thought they found the commercial
ratio to be Is to l. The law made
in accordance with their agreement
provided for bimetallism, but did
not establish it. Bimetallism with
unlimited coinage of both metals
has never been established longer
than the commercial ratio coincided
with the coinage ratio, which has
never been for more than a brief
time.
The Is to l ratio having failed
to secure bimetallism, or the con-
current circulation of gold and
silver, the coinage of the silver dol
lar was suspended by Jefferson
during his term of office, and its
coinage was not resumed until in
1884, when, with President Jack
sons and the Democratic party's
approval, the act was passed avow-
eddy to establish the gold standard,
which it did. Jefferson found the
bimetallic theory a failure; so did
jackson. jefferson and jackson
are patriarchs of the Democratic
party, and the National Democracy
can and does look to them for IN
spiration, and not to the Popocrat-
ic Mckinley Aid Society, that, to
plagiarize Col. w. C. p. Breckin-
ridge, made McKinley's election
certain by their Chicago business.

Facts Recalled.

The nomination of Gen. Palmer
on the National Democratic ticket
has revived the order issued by
him when in command of the Fed
eral troops in Kentucky warning
all Rebel soldiers and Southern
sympathizers from attempting to
exercise the right of suffrage, I'M
der penalty of immediate arrest
and Imprisonment. Gen. Palmer
acting under superiors was also
acting under the statutes of Ken
lucky. All Rebel soldiers and
Southern sympathizers were dis
franchised by an act of the Ken
lucky Legislature. They did not
attempt to exercise the right of
suffrage, knowing the law.
Hon. Hugh Newell was a candi-
date for the Legislature with the
understanding that he would work
for the restoration of Confederate
soldiers and sympathizers to citi-
zenship.
Hon. A. II. Ward, a valued citi-
zen, a lawyer and scholar, an old
line Wing, and Union man and
civilian, was a candidate for Con-
gress, Bell and Everett Elector,
whose motto was: "The Union, the
Constitution and Enforcement of
the Law"
His opponent was Gen. Green
Clay Smith, Democrat, Douglas
Elector, a lawyer, and soldier of
two wars.
Judge j. Q. Ward stated, in his
speech Saturday, that he telegraph
ed Gov. Bramlette that the polls
were surrounded by bayonets. The
Governors order was, in reply to
that telegram, that the cleo tion
should not be interferred with.

things occurred after the close of
the war. A fact which should also

In a late letter Secretary Car
Isle states these facts:-
From Jan. l, 1896, to Sept. 3Oth,
1896, sI3,9l2,5l2 in standard silver
dollars were coined at the u. s.
mlnts.
Since November !, 1898, when
the silver-purchssing clause of the
Sherman law was repealed, $l7,-
500, 49l in standard silver dollars
have been coined in the u. S. minis.
That is twice as many as were
coined from 1892 to 1873.
During Sept, 1896, $4,000, 900 in
standard silver dollars were coined.
About the same will be coined this
month.
The seignorage, or gain to the
Government, since Nov. l, 1898, on
silver coinage is IS, 700, 900.
The foregoing coinage was done
to redeem the Treasury notes is
sued in purchasing the silver bull
lion under the Sherman law. Since
Aug. 1, 1893, s3l,126,722 in these
Treasury notes have been redeem
ed, the silver dollars taking their
places in the circulation.

That FOrRory,

"A snort time back the Advocate
called attention to the fact that
Hon. LaRue Thomas was using in
his campaign an article purporting
to be copy of an editorial that
appeared in the London Finan cial
News, and had been pronounced a
forgery, giving the Omaha Bee as
authority for the declaration. An
esteemed friend. and a subscriber
of the Advocate in Denver wrote to
the editor of the Advocate and en-
closed a clipping from the Denver
Tribune, which contained a special
telegram from Chicago, stating
that indisputable proof has been
received at Democratic Headquar-
tiers of the genuineness of the Lon
don Financial News article. Our
correspondent suggested therefore
that the Advocate might be mista-
ken in assuming that the article
was a forgery. Recognizing the
merit of the suggestion and Mt the
same time desiring to get at the
facts in the case the clipping from
the Denver paper was sent to the
editor of the Omaha Bee with a re-
quest that we be furnished with
copies of the documents upon which
the claim of forgery was based. In
reply we have received a copy of
the Bee, dated September 10, and
in it We find find fac simile repro
auctions of a letter from the editor
of the Financial News and an ed
itorial from the same paper. The
letter is addressed to A. c. Platt,
Lincoln, Neb., who clipped the al
legged utterances of the Financial
News from Bryan's paper, the
Omaha World Herald, which was
the first to publish the article, and
carried it at the head of its edito-
rial column for months under 1.-The
caption 'Paste This In Your Hat"
and sent - clipping to the editor
of the I lcial News and ask. II
it was gem inc. The following re-
ply, under date of Aug. IL, 1895,
was received:
"We beg TO return your cutting
which you forwarded us, am. to
say that no such article cvsr APP
peared in the Financial News"
In addition to that the English
paper, in it's issue, August ID, 1896,
says editorially:
ave have received numerous
letters from American correspond
ents containing what purport to be
editorials from the Financial News,
and which have been reprinted in
various Western papers as "cam-
paign literature" One Omaha pa
per prints an article stating that
it is "from the London Financial
News of March TO-" No such ar
ticle was ever printed by us. and
its whole tenor is directly opposed
to the view we have taken of the
effect of free silver in the United
States. So far from advocating
free silver coinage, we have per-
sistently pointed out that it spells
reputation and the withdrawal of
all European capital"
From this evidence it is natural
to conclude that the article is a
forgery, and, in the light of the
facts presented, we presume it will
no longer be used as campaign ma
terial.-Danville Advocate.
