men

MEMPHIS, Nov. 27:-The Evening Scimitar says: Last week q ruInor was heard on the streets to the effect that there was q shortage ill the accounts of Postmast Robert Armour amounting to some $l2000.
 The fact that there was q short age in the accounts prior Co Noyem- Der lS has been established beyond any question.
 A conference of alr. Arinours bondsmen and friends was held on the evening Of November r. The result of this conference was that the amount of the shortage was made up.
 The amount due the government from the postmaster at Memphis was $12.350.31. MT. Armour was entitled to a credit of $ll643, on ac- count of salary, leaving SI22, 2:33 .sS as the omonnt of the deficit. The sum was paid 10 Assistant Postmaster James Harris, who performs the duties of bookkeeper, on November 1s.
 Nothing authentic could belearned from the inspectors CT district att torneys as to whether any steps would be taken to bring the matter before the federal grand jury here, or whether he report which Inspector  Whitesides must necessarily return to headquarters, contains any clause which may lead to the postmaster s removal.

Kavanaugh says he can, and O'Donnell says he can't so the question will be decided before the Pine Bluff Athletic Association on the night of the 7th of December.
 Kavanaugh is the pugilist who on last week issued a challenge to Billy ODonnell, agreeing to stop him in te n rounds. or else be de clared the loser of the fight.
 If the decision is given against Kavanaugh, and O'Donnell is on his feet at the end of the tenth round. he will lose handsome sum of money, for the men have wagered a nice sum on the result. All the preliminaries have been arranged and the fight is looked forward to with much interest by the sports in this section.

mounted it with care and skill and the scenery was superb, especial ly the storm where the Mad King with his faithful follower, Kent. and the Fool. brared the clements after being turned from the homes of his daughters.
 To see Narde as Lear" is u reve- lation, for in him you find the very character that Shakespeare had in his mind when he wrote this immor- tai play. The great actor appears to be fairly caught in the web of his own imagination and the passion which he throws into the character strikes deep into the hearts of his audience. His portrayal of. all the vicissitudes through which the Mad King passed can be equalled by few and excelled by none.
 Warde has surrounded himself by most excellent company, and each and every member enacted his or her part admirably.
 The character of Cordelia, as in- terpreted by Miss Florence Wilbur ham, was extremely beautiful and well taken. The hateful characters of Began and Gonerill, were splen- didly assumed and their efforts pro- claimed them as artists, indeed.
 Darrell Ninten assumed the char acter of Edward the Bastard, and did it su successfully and creditably that his acting reconcied the audi. ence with tie delestable charac Ger he represented.
 Cha3. W. Sutton. as F lgar; Bef- erly Turner. as Kent; Lionel Clarke, as Gloster, deserved the applause they received. Ernest Warde was the Fool, and the character lost no interest by the manner in which he presented it.
 The closing scene of the play, where Gordeha is hanged in prison, cut down and brought out in tbe arms of Lear, and the death of the heart broken father, was superbly pre- scented, and so affecting that the audi ence was made to feel the truth oi what Kent says on the occasion, over the body of his dying master "Yex not his ghost, O, let him pass! he hates hih4 that would upon the rocks of this rough world stretch him out longer.

ounce. AS this silver is worth in tbe
market TO to 81 cents an ounce the mar
gin OF profit is easily seen to be very
heavy one-1O to 20 per cent
Moreover, some of the mines represent
no actual investment whatever. Count
ing water and all, the Elkhorn mine
has nominal capital of only $1,000. 600.
1t has paid dividends amounting to ST.
2l2,OOO. The Granite Mountain is nomi
nally capitalized at $10,00O,OOO. 1t has
already returned in dividends to it's
stockholders $12,120,O0O. Other mines
snow enormous profits on investments
that are largely fictitious.
Yet the multi-millionaires who own
these properties coolly ask the people of
the country to pay them incalculable mil
hons OF additional profit by coming each
66 cents worth of their product into
$l.29 worth of legal tender money.
They ask the country thus almost ex-
actly to double to them the market price
of product already SO profitable that il
pays them millions every year to produce,
So far as they are concerned free COIN
age would do preciafy this. It would
enable them to ply a dollar of wages
or debt with 81 cents worth Of silver.
How far the process would enhance the
general value of the silver dollar no man
can know. But this much is clear:

conspiracy among hundred or so multi
millionaire mine-owners to rob the pub
lie and to levy tribute upon the wages
of everyone who works.

estimates it at 435.O00,00O. The main

against 1890. 466 the week before and

of 1,6O1 ,92S bushels. In the month of
September we exported 1911. 727 bush
els: i'll September. 1895. 10.113,S97, an
increase Of 1897. $50 bushels. This will
explain to everyone except chuckle-head-
ed idiots why wheat has risen.
No Manipulation.
There has been no manipulation about
it. In fact, the spectators have been
positively dazed at the advance. An
other thing which has indirectly made
wheat rise is the fact that the export
demand has been 50 heavy that
it has been found impossible to
send all that was required. All the
freight room on European steamers has
been engaged up to January.
The explanation of the decline in silver
is as easily accounted for as the rise in
wheat. Soon after Bryans nomination
the free-silver shouters kicked up such
rumpus that spectators both here and
abroad thought there was some chance
Of his success, and silver advanced OH
speculative buying to about 70 cents an
ounce. 1t was not long, however, before
the holders became convinced that Bry-
ans chances of success were hopeless,
and they at once began to get rid of
their loads. Consequently. as more and
more holders of silver saw that they
had paid good price for a white ele-
plant, and sickened of their bargain.
the price of silver gradually sank until
today it is quoted at 6434 cents an ounce.
This is considerably lower than it was
early last summer, when it was thought
improbable that the Democratic party
would come out hat-footed for the free
coinage of silver.
The day will come when Mr.. Bryan
and his illl will learn that ia tural causes
alone govern the prices of all products.

While silver for weeks has been drop
ping practically without interruption
from about 20 cents an ounce to less than
60 cents, wheat has been shooting up as
if it had wings
1t is peculiarly interesting at this time,
when Mr. Bryan and the other soon-to-
be-snuffed-out lights of the free-silver
heresy have been examining variety of
pleasing fctions down the threats of
farmers, to call attention to the practical
ly simultaneous rise in wheat and drop
in silver.
Probably the free-silver folk will say in
regard to the remarkable rise in wheat
about IL cents a bushel in Il month:
What did we tell YOU? It's as clear as
daylight; everybody knows that free sill
yer will succeed, hence they are buying
least after Mr.. Bryan's election That's
why Europe is buying such quantities of
wheat"
Won't Work Both ways.
If this is the free-silver argument for
the advance in wheat, why is it that Eu-
rope is not buying silver at 64H cents an
ounce ii Mr.. Bryan's election will raise
its price to S1.29?
Mr.. Bryan's contention has been that it
as the gold standard prevailed Mr.
Bryan knew as well as any of us that
he was lying when he said that. What
does he say about it now. His silence
on the subject is most expansive. Posi-
bly, he is racking his brains to account
for it, and it is probable he may get off
something equally Illuminating as his ex-
PLANTATION of the gold import movement.
The fact is. this advance in wheat,
wholly due as il is to natural causes,
is stunning blow to the free silver
fallacy. 1t is useless to tell the farmer
that he cannot get more for his wheat
While we. remain on Il gold standard,
when he is receiving 10 cents a bushel
more for it than he was month ago.
Considering that this has been one of
the stock arguments of the free silver
ties. it is we'll to point out again and
again just why wheat has advanced
1T is all summed up in this: The crops
here and abroad have been short the
total decrease for the world, according to
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1896-10-22
Another Popocratic Forgery.

Another bald, unbluShlng forgery, as
it is called by John G. Nicolay, Lin
coins private secretary, has been put
in circulation by the Bryanites.
This forgery is a quotation from an
alleged speech by Mr.. Lincoln, in which
he is made to say that ''as a result of
the war corporations have been en-
throned and the era of corruption in
high places will follow, and the money
power of the country will endeavor to
prolong it's reign by working upon the
prejudices of the people, until all wealth
is aggregated in few hands and the
republic is destroyed"
The war was hardly over when Lin
coin was assassinated. The speech is a
forgery on the face of it, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Bryan has made use
of it. But Mr.. Nicolay, who, in writing
the life of Lincoln. had access to all
his papers. and who, as private secre-
tary. personally knew of Lincoln's pub
lie addresses, is the best possible au-
thority on the subject. When he says
that Lincoln never said or wrote any
thing, that by the utmost license could
be distorted to resemble it," there can
be no doubt of the forgery. No can
vass in this country has ever been
marked by such unblushing forgery as
