SPEECH BY HoKE SMITH
The Ex-secretary Not for Free silver
But for Bryan Nevertheless

Tho Ex-secretary Not for Fros silver
But for Bryan Nevertheless
DALTON Ga, Sept sL-Hoke Smith,
ex-secretary of the interior, spoke
here to-day to large political rally,
held under the auspices of the state
Democratic executive committee. In
opening he referred to former visit
to Dalton two years ago, at which he
spoke in behalf of ''sound currency, y
and urged that the Democratic nation
al platform should not approx the
free coinage of silver. He stated that
he would not be candid did he fail to
say to-day that mis- views on the fnan-
cial question remained unchanged,
and he regretted that he could not in
dorse that part of the platform adopted
at the Chicago convention. He urged
however, that those who, like himself.
did not approve of this plank, would
still remain loyal to the regular nomi-
nees of the party.
Mr.. Smith claimed that long after
the financial question was settled, the
Democratic party would be found ad-
vocating principles dear to the in
terests of the masses of the people of
the country, and 1t would be unwlse
to quit the party on account of oppo-
sition to single plank in the plat
form. So far as those were concerned
who had taken part in the fight for
''sound money" delegates to the Chi
cago convention, he felt that they
were practically pledged, as he was
actually pledged, to vote for the nom
inee.
Mr.. Smith then briefly discussed
that portion of the Chicago platform
which dealt with the subject of rails
ing revenue. He urged the justice Of
tariff for revenue only, and con-
trasted it with the high protective
tariff for which Mckinley so pre- e-emi-
nently stood. He approved of the in
come tax and insisted that it was not
class legislation.

Clever Feats of a Chfmpaasee.

Professor Garner says that one of the
most intelligent and quite the best educated
chimpanzee that he ever saw is Consul III.
The many feats done by this ape would fill
a small volume; he has not been trained to
perform them as tricks, simply to amuse or
erertain visitors, but many ST them he has
taken up of his own accord, having seen
Others do so. The feat impressed me most
was his skill in riding a tricycle., and his
taste for that sport. He often takes his ma
chine without being told, aud rides all
about the place, il he finds it lying on its
side, he sets it upright, adjusts the handle
bar, mounts it and takes a ride. He pro-
pels it with ease and guides it with dexter
ity. No boy of his own age can handle it
with more skill. He rides all about the
place, around the walks aud drives, all over
several acres Of ground, he steers it around
the posts and corners, around the curves of
the paths, makes his way through crowds
of P, ople without colliding with them. He
amuses himself by the hour at this pastime.
When he tires of il he sometimes shoyes the
vehicle up in some corner and leaves it.
Consul also smokes cigar, cigarette, or
pipe He often tnds cigar stub about the
place, picks it up, puts il in his mouth. and
goes to his keeper for light. One anus
ing habit he has is that of splitting, he is
not very skilliul in this but is persistent.
However, he las the poiteness not to spit
on the floor, he spreads a piece OF paper on
the floor, and uses it as a cuspidor-Harp-
