Arendt and Others

Editor Herald:-It may interest your
readers to learn that the leader of the
bimetalrists of Germany Dr.Otto Arendt,
has come out advocating the election of
Bryan. In the June number of the North
American Review was published paper
by him, in which he set forth the neces
sity of international bimetallism. Now
that the Republican party has come
out practically for gold, he favors the
election of Bryan. From his admirable
article in the New York Journal quote
the following passages:
1T is obvious that the spirit of the st.
Louis convention was inspired by Wall
street, while Mr.. Mckinley himself de-
serted the peoples cause and closed an
alliance, offensive and defensive, with
all-grasping capital.
"Heaven-high above him, unfettered
and unmercenary, rose Bryan, who at
once gained the respect and sympathies
of bimetallists the world over If l
were an American citizen, would un-
hesitatingly vote for the peoples cham
pion. Our money monopolists in this
case harvest the storm where they have
been sowing the wind. Bryan's
victory will no doubt prepare the way
for an international agreement. Should
Bryan be elected, we, the bimetallists,
would gain formidable allies. while
American bankers would certainly do
all in their power to forestall the depre-
CldllOu VI ALlGTlCdu tdlueS Dy DdCklQS
our cause"
Now as for Europe. Balfour repre-
sents the remarkable and questionable
view that no change of coinage should
be imposed on financial men. In other
words, the world of finance rules, the
thief is jailor.
The shylock standpoint was never pre-
sented with more brutal effontry than
by Harcourt. The American citizen will
find HarcOurt's speech the hest com,
paign document. A producer who reads
this speech and does not vote for Bryan.
cuts his own throat. With this speech
Shylock HarcOurt has laid bare the
kernel OF the whole matter. Shall the
producers pay double value in goods or
not? Inc English creditor grows rich
While his American victim goes to ruin
When once 1t becomes fully understood
In London that Bryan is bound to enact
free silver coinage without the permis-
sion of the stock exchange, will not the
= fear of the decrease Of American values
bring about England's conversion? Then
Balfour will follow his bimetalIic CON
victions, and IN that. case all Europe is
conquered.
The so-called silver fanatcism that
we hear so much about is really but
a protest against shady bourse maniplI-
lations that threaten the small man
year in and year out. Immediately after
Bryan assumes his office the govern
ment Of the United States should ask
the powers of Europe whether they de-
sire mutual understanding in refer
ence to coinage The powers will not be
long in formulating requests and sub
mitting propositions, by whose adoption
all the contracting parties will gain

tional bimetallism will be introduced,

The Fa,lacy Of the Sunday Law

Editor Herald: For some time past
the Sunday closing scheme has been be-
fore the public in various phases, and
to my idea the best and only solution Of
the theme is to make it general law.
In the first place, what do these people
want? My Interpretation is, close up
all the business houses in the city upon
the Sabbath. But as the old adage
reads, Its a poor rule that won't work

To Montana on a wheel.

Mr.. Albert harrington. son of Zenas
r. Harrington of this city, took small
bundle of clothing and started on his
wheel for distant Montana on May Goth.
He left Boston June 1st and June 10Th
he was in Chicago. Here he made a stay
of TIRES or four days. He spent the 4th of
July in Alzada, Montana, and was de-
tanned there three or four days by long
storm. About the 9Th or 9th of July he
came to stretch of road deep with mud
and full Of ditohes. Bicycle riding was
almost impossible, but he plodded on
until he broke the fork of his wheel, near
Mills City, Montana. Here his riding
came to an end and he was obliged to go
by rail the rest of the way. He was 1914
miles short Of his destination and his
cyclometer registered 9,592 miles
1t Will BIS seen by little calculation
that Mr.. harrington has made splendid
record. He was about forty days riding
2, 592 miles. Deduct six Sundays and
seven days that he staid in Boston,
Chicago and Alzada and there ara left ~
days that he was actually riding. That
would make up an average distance Of
90 m lies a day that be covered.

MAY HAVE BEEN A MURDERER.
Frank Thomas's Suicide Sets People to
Talking.


Presque Isle. July 1e.--Frank o. Thorn
as, farmer living two miles out of
Presque isle, committed suicide early
Thursday morning By blowing his brains
out with shot gun.
1t transpiras that Thomas's wife's
death which occurred last week. was
inexplicable to the physicians and post
mortem was held and the stomach sent
away for analysis, matter that has
been kept very quiet, Thomas not know
in 6 1t until Wednesday nighr.
This IaRt act of Thomas seems to verify
the suspicion that he could account for
the death of his wife, Both were young
and leave a small child.
There was no motive, as far as can be
learned, for the murder Of Mrs. Thomas.
Mr.. Thomas came to the Star-Herald
office, Friday, with the notice Of his
wifes death and gave as cause that she
had an attack of cholera.
Thomas was married ten years ago to
Miss Clark. but they never lived happi-
ly together. 1t is claimed that his usage
of her drove her to insanity She had
been in the Augusta hospital the last
five years, but was brought home in
April. &
Thomas was suspected six years ago
of incendiarism, but the charge could
not be proved. His father died suddenly
Inst March. and it is now claimed by
poisoning by the son.
The suicide had several brothers in
Pennsylvania. One little daughter, aged
8, survives

MINNESOTA ALL RIGHT.
She VIII Be Solid for Honest Money.
Next November

MIR. j. A. Gregg of st. Paul Talks Enter
tainingIy of the Situation There-How
Senator Nelson WON His Great victory
Over the PopuIists.
Minnesota is solid for gold.
That is to say that is the emphatic
opinion of gentleman who is well
qualified to judge. He is Mr.. j. A. Gregg
of ST. Paul member OF the fiji N of
Nichols e. Dean of ST. Paul, the oldest
iron house in the state of Minnesota.
Mr.. Gregg is one of the solid men of st.
Paul and is a careful and conservative
observer of tho signs of the times
Minnesota will speak with no uncel-
tain sound for gold in November,'' said
Mr.. Gregg. ''You may rest assured of
that. I do not have the slightest doubt
of that whatever. Our state delegates to
both tho big conventions were for gold,
and we shall roll up sdlendid majority
in the fall for Mckinley and Hobart and
the party of honest money
s'Populism is not popular in Mime
sota," continued Mr.. Gregg. "You will
remember the election of a few years ago
when Hon. Knuts Nelson, now Senator
Nelson. was elected governor by such a
triumphant majority. Owens was then
the Populist candidate. and Gen. Buker
was nominaliy run by the straight DEM
ocracy, but they made no CONTEST what
ever, and the fight was between Nelson
and Owens. Silver bore quito part
in that campaign and Senator Nelson,
who ig solid as rock for sound money,
administered crushing defeat to Popu-
ism, winning the fight by tremendous
majority exceeding 10000.
I'm that contest Judge Morris received
both the Populist and Democratic noml-
nation for the supreme bench and confi-
IDENTIFY expected to be elected, but his
Republican opponent won by over 40, DOC.
II expect to see Mckinley carry the
state by 20, COO at least We have a great
many Mckinley Democrats in Mime
sota To show you how strong the gold
sentiment is in St. Paul, I introduced
in the local convention r gold plank
and it was carried without single dis
senting vote. One of my most intimate
friends, the Democratic district attor-
ney Of ST. Paul district, announced his
intention of voting for Mckinley and
sound money.
Elm the Duluth district, Congressman
Towne, who is very aba man, and al
enthusiastic advocate Of silver, has bolt
cd the St. Louis nominees. He has 6
very considerable following, but they
Will be greatly outnumbered by the Dem
ocrats who will declare for sound mon
ey.
tNo. SIR" concluded Mr. Gregg, EN-.
phatioally, there will be 40 way1rine
from the gold banner in Minnesota"
The conversation drifted to the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Sewall for Vice. President.
Mr.. Gregg said laughingly: II have
just had a letter from our credit man.
and he says go and see MIR. Sewali and
tell him I about $50 years back can trace
a relationship to him.
This is MIR. Gregg's first visit to Maine.
