If a Democrat, Can You Vote For
Mckinley!

Some of our extreme gold friends
have signified their intention of voting
for Mckinley, as though there was
something in his past Congressional
record to recommend him to them,
when the truth is that he has voted
with the silver people whenever the
question of free and unlimited coinage
came up, and there is scarcely any
person so verdant as not to believe
that he would have accepted the nom
ination on either a silver or gold plat
form. Not one word did he utter be-
fore the convention. although called.
upon by the press all over the country
to do so. His position was SO uncer-
tain that the east would not touch
him, and the New York delegation,
through Boss Platt issued a pamphlet
against him showing his record as a
silver man, and his inconsistent posi-
tion as gold standard bearer: and
his nomination never could have been
made without the negro vote of the
south, which was secured at consider
able cost by the Mckinley syndicate
under the management of Hanna. And
yet some of our gold people say they
will vote for him.
Mckinley represents everything that
Democrats have been taught is bad.
He stands first for McKinleyism,
which is tariff tax, intending to en-
rich the few and impoverish the many.
He stands second for centralized
government, taking local self govern
ment entirely from the people. He
stands third for the force bill, which
he has always advocated, whereby To-
cal elections are taken from the control
of the people and placed in the hands
of the Republican party. A voter
claiming to be a Democrat, who can
swallow all this with the record of the
Republican party before him, is either
on the verge of political madness OF
else he never was Democrat.
Bryan and Sewell stand for local
self government. They stand for a
democratic tariff. They stand for civ
il and religious liberty as guaranteed
by the constitution. They stand in
all things for the masses against the
classes. They stand opposed to the
Force bill, or any bill which will inter-
fere with the rights of the people, and
| if they do represent the silver idea,
they are honest about it, and have
conscious convictions on that line.
We can understand how conscien-
tious single standard gold Democrat
can refuse to vote for a president or
how he can vote for the Prohibition
candidate, but how he can vote for
Mckinley and McKinleyism we cannot
understand, unless it be that he is
one of the fellows who can help to cor
ner gold, force an issue of bonds and
then buy them.

BROTHER NORRIS WINS
And He has Our Congratulations Will
Get a Fortune in Oil.

Get Fortune in Oil.
The big suit for valuable tract
of oil land in the Cairo field, in
which ]. Kemp Bartlett was plain
tiff and Richard Wanless and 9TH
ers defendants, was recently decid-
ed in the United States Court at
Parkersburg in favor of the defen-
dants. Both Judge Jackson and
Judge Golf were on the bench so
that the decision may be consider
ed conclusive of the rights of the
parties.
The tract of land in controversy
consisted of one hundred and sew
enty-seven acres in the heart of
the Cairo field. 1t was purchased
by Wanless at tax sale in 1879
and he took a deed for it in 1881
and has heidi it ever since till few
months ago, when he sold it to P.
w. Morris, B. F. Ayres, A. J. Pat
ton, M. III. Tarlton and J. HI. Lin
niger, who were the real defendants,
SO far as the matter of the fee sim
pie went, in the suit, Bartlett, a
speculator from Baltimore some
way obtained the old husk of IT,
tie, left after the real title was
bought by Wanless aud began pro-
ceedings to get the land.
Judges Golf and Jackson on ex-
aiming the case, in which there
was very full proof for the defen-
ants and lot of absurd stuff for
the plaintiff, decided to dismiss
the bill without even hearing the
of the defendants at
torneys. Uncle Kemp was just
little bit too late. In other words,
the court held that his demand
was a stale one. 1t does look as
though the State of West Virginia
and purchasers of land at tax sales
who hold it as their own and pay
taxes on it for fifteen or twenty
years ought to have some rights
that foreign aristocrats and specu-
lators should respect.
The land has somewhere from a
hundred thousand to million
dollars worth of oil under it.

JAY COOKE
The Famous Banker Gives his Reasons
for Free Coinage.

Jay Cooke, the promoter of the
Northern Pacific railroad, who once
held the credit CT the nation in the
palm of his hand, is for the free coin
age of silver. He declares that he
will vote for Mckinley with the hope
that the Presidential candidate and
the Republican party win see the err
ror of the gold standard and immedi-
ately put silver back in the place it
belongs.
.The opposition to the free coinage
of silver is a crime, a miserable, crazy
notion. If had the doing Of it there
would be no room for goldbug in
this country" said Mr.. Cooke. "The
single gold standard would ruin this
country; positively ruin it.
Mr.. Cooke read what the Secretary
of the Treasury Carlisle said in 1878
before he was allied to Cleveland and
the .goldites.
A GIGANTIC CRIME.
According to my view of the sub
jeet, says Mr.. Carlisle, 'the conspir-
acy which seems to have been formed
in this country and Europe to destroy
by legislation or otherwise one half of
the metallic money of the world is the
most gigantic crime of this or any
other age. The consummation of such
a scheme would ultimately entail
more misery on the human race than
any war, pestilence and famine that
ever occurred
"What more could You want than
that?s said Mr.. Cooke. at was true
then: it is true now, . he said emphati-
cally shaking his forefnger. "'rhe
most terrible thing of all was in 1873,
when silver was demonetized, which
was done under delusion. You will
find that most of the Senators and
Representatives did aot dream that
they were about
TO DEMoNETlzE SILVER.
Just think of the fearful danger
the farmers stand in continued Mr..
Cooke. IF they knew it they would
rise in their might and sweep away
those deyilish politicians and gold
bugs"
'But, Mr. Cooke, in case of free
coinage, what about the fifty-three
cent dollar?n
"That's all humbugn he replied.
wasn't a silver dollar worth 81 before
they demonetized silver? The worlds
onward march is rapid. If gold shall
be the only basis of exchange the pro
gress must stop: We must have more
money to oil the machinery of ex-
change | believe we must get back

OF A PHYSICIAN,
Broken in Health He
Cannot Stand the

CHARGES LACK OF CARE
Stayed One Night in the County
Institution and Then

AN INVESTIGATION ON FOOT.
Health Officer Lovelace Viii. Look
Into the Matter-The Doctors
Story.

Health Officer Lovelace began an inves-
tigation yesterday into charges that have
been made against the accommodations
and food at the City and County Hospital
by DR.. G.. w. Day, an aged physician
whom poverty and i'll health have forced
to seek public institution for the care
that his case demands.
DIR. Day, after fighting illness and lack
of even the necessaries of life for a long
time, applied with his wife for public as
sistance and was sent to the hospital to be
cared for. His wife, who was broken
down in health from privation and caring
for her sick husband, was sent with him
TO recuperate and receive proper medical
attention.
The Days remained one night in the
hospital and then left, stating that they
would rather return to their obscure lodg-
ings and suffer there than take advantage
of the accommodations at the hospital.

MUST HAVE MORE MONEY
Schools May Be Closed for Lack
of an Adequate Appro-
priation.
Superintendent Babcock Says That the
Warning Sounded Was in
Earnest.

Superintendent of Schools Babcock said
yesterday that the warning to the Board
of Supervisors regarding the closing OF
schools sounded on Wednesday evening
in the report of the Finance Committee OF
the Board of Education would certainly
be carried into effect unless the appropria-
tion was increased.
"We need more than 81, 600 OOO," said
Mr. Babcock, "for many reasons.
"ro begin with, the repeated criticisms
passed by the Board of Health upon the
condition of our schools have necessitated
expenses saddIed upon us which will cost
us $100 COO at least over and above what
we are allowed. We have been com PEELED
to have all our schools thoroughly white
washed and cleansed, a thing which has
not been done for ten years and was badly
needed.
"Then, again, the board has been obliged
to extend the privileges of night schools.
Bows at work all day cannot attend school /;
therefore we must give them a chance
when their work is done. To that end we
have established twelve extra classes, each
containing four hundred or so children, all
unable to attend night school before owing
to the distance required to travel. And
this alone has increased our salary roll
$lo,UUU.
"The Board Of Health demands that we
thoroughly reorganize our sanitary system
in schools and put in all the modern i'm
proyements How can we do that without
money!
"We need 100000 more at least, and if
we get it every dollar will be honestly
spent in improvements badly needed. The
truth is that the Board of Supervisors
dom go into details when they consider
appropriations; they just hit upon lump
sum and decide that there is sufficient,
without practical investigation. We are
trying our best to run the department
upon as economical basis as possible, but
we wish to do things properly, and We
must have money to do them with.
eve shall be sorry to end the work of
the department before its proper time,
but we regret that it will have to be DONE
While it is true that complaints have
arisen in other years, things are different
this year; we are confronted with many
needs that have not been emphasized un-
til this year. Teachers want to be paid,
and if we can't pay them we must close
the schools"

The abandoned British ship Gowenbank
has twice been reported off the Horn by
vessels bound to San Francisco. Captain
Puxley arrived at Plymouth, Eng, on
July q and made the following report:
The Gowanbank left Barry late in January
with a cargo of Goals for Iquique and was ac-
com panied to the southwark by the Cedar
bank, which sailed about the same time from
Antwerp for San Francisco. The weather was
very bad. They were fourteen days fruitlessly
endeavoring to weather Cape Horn. On the
morning of April 81 q gale blew from the
north-northeast, gradually increasing to hur-
ricane strength. Every thread of canvas on
lH6 GOWduUdHh was UlUWu away ana llgl seas
swept the decks and smashed the boats and
bulwarks. At this time the Cedarbank parted
company and fears were entertained for her
fate. AS the wind veered round to the west
northwest its strength increased until, on the
morning of the 22d, amid storm of snow and
rain. the masts of the Gowanbank went over
the ships side, ripping open the decks and
placing the crew in terrib plight
Worn out with the labors of the previous
fourteen days, and with their sleeping and
living quarters flooded, the crew had to keep
entirely on deck. while the ship drifted at the
mercy of the wind and waves. The gale still
prevailed on April 49, when the bark Lathom
of Liverpool bore down on the dis
tressed ship, and with much difficulty took
of the crew and. after further rough
passage, landed them. at Valparaiso. The
Gowanbank wes still afoat when abandoned,
but was not expected to remain above water
very long.
The Cedarbank arrived here on July %,
and the Lathom got in August 8. Both
vessels made unusually long passages
and had hard experiences rounding the
Horn.
