Hon. Charles F. Crisp.

Judge Crisp came to Atlanta six weeks
ago for treatment. He was suffering
from a typical case Of malarial fever
which had developed at his home in
Americus. He spent juno, July and
part of August in the mountains of
North Carolina and Tennessee. His re-
turn to middle Georgia during the very
hottest period of the summer, developed
the fever. After weeks treatment. the
fever disappeared and the judge i'm
proved slowly. Last week he was driv-
ing several times and was getting strong
er until Sunday night, when he was at
tackled with symptoms Of his old trouble,
pneumonia. DIR. Todd was called in
and on Tuesday congestion of the lungs
disappeared, but the patient was so
weak that Mrs. Crisp telegraphed for her
children, and all came the next day.
Wednesday and yesterday Judge Crisp's
condition improved, but he received no
callers. His family were hopeful until
10 last night, when he had paroxysm
OF pain near the heart. At midnight
there was another paroxysm. They con-
tinued at intervals all through the night
and forenoon.
He suffered intense pain, and was con-
scious to the very last At 1.30 his son.
Charles +. Crisp, Jr., and the younger
brother and sisters went across the street
to a hotel for lunch, Mrs. Crisp remain
ing with her husband. AT LAO the pain
reappeared. A messenger was sent for
the children. They. came hurriedly, just
in time to get some last glances of recog-
milton, for Judge Crisp was unable to
utter word and died within five min
utes. Although warned by physicians
that the end might come at any mom-
ent, when it did come 1t was tragic in
its suddenness.
Gov. Atkinson was his last visitor, hav
ing called Sunday when he and the
judge chatted for an hour on current
topics. Judge Crisp was keenly inter-
| ested in politics to the very last. He op-
charged Gov. Atkinson to defeat it il
possible in Georgia. Judge Crisp was
one of the leaders Of the silver. move
ments in Georgia. On that issue the
state overwhelmingly indorsed him for
the United States Senate to whichshe
would have been elected almost unani-
mouslysby the legislature. which meets
Wednesday.
His death at this time complicates the
situation and may lead to bitter fight
for the senatorship. Perhaps other off1o-
es will be involved. too.
Judge Crisp declined to contest for a
re nomination to the House.
1t has been decided that the body shall
lie in stats at the Capitol tomorrow, and
addresses will be delivered BY Gov. At

NOT SURPRISED AT WASHINGTON.
Congressman Crisp's Death Had Been Ex-

Congressman Crisp's Death Had Been Ex-
pected Sometime.
Washington, October 23.-Speaker
Crisp's death was not altogether sur
prise in political circles. as it had been
known for some months chat he hadflnop
long to live and never again could De an
active figure In public affairs. The
Speaker had several spells of Illness in
Washington. He suffered from asthma
and later from heart trouble. His ill
health, however, did not become matter
of public notority until the past spring,
when he was compelled to abandon a
Secretary Hoke Smith. by reason of the
advice 0f his pyhsioians that it would
imperil his life for him to continue the
debate, which had attracted great stnte
as we'll as national interest.
This was by reason of the fact that it
involved the position of the Democratic
party of the state on the silver question
as well an the senatorship from Georgia
for which the ex-Speaker was an active
candidate. The silver men won their
fight and Mr.. Crisp, had he lived, would
have been the next Senator from Georgia.
Ex. Speaker Crisp was not only a
forcible speaker but a man of great tact
and possessed of other qualities that
eminently fitted him for leadership in a
parliam entary assemhlage His first
prominence in national affairs came from
the strength with which he led his party
in several warm election contests. The
prestige he thus acquired led to his cleo
tion to the speakership after one of the
most memora BILE oanvasses in the history
of the House. His chief opponent was
Senator Eeger @. Mills of Texas, whom

GOLD AT a PREMIUM.


And Yet Wall street Has Survived the
Gold Is at a premium. On Thursday
last It was IL per cent.
How Wall street survived such o
shock Is one Of those mysteries that
will probably never be explained. For
two years past the appalling picture Of
gold at a premium" has been kept In
the very focus Of the public gaze. True,
the gold people never specified particu-
larry Just how we were to be ruined By
II. They left that to the Imagination.
Gold has been at a premium over COM
modities and other forms Of property
for more than twenty years. That,
however. has given the gold worship
per no concern. The fact that the pro-
Queer had to labor twice as long or
twice as hard to get q dollar, was
good thing-for the man who already
had the dollars. But at the Idea Oh
some importer or Wall street specula-
tor having to pay one or two per cent
premium In order to get gold for export,
he actually stood aghast. But the
dread moment came. Gold went to
premium OF a cent and a quarter, and
except for the telegraphic mention OF
the fact we should never have known
the difference. It Is now in order for
the gold standardists, whose whole
soul has been wrapped up In the idea
Of parity" zone dollar as good as an
other" etc, ETC., to rise and explain.
It will probably be said that the pre-
MUM was small and that 1t was only
temporary. Well, how great must the
premium be and how long must It last
to hurl US down the awful abyss Of
financial ruin. II IL per cent Is not
enough. will 2 per cent do the work, or
or or how many per cent must II be :?
The profits Of the syndicate on the first
secret bond deal, represent a premium
of 16 per cent on the gold furnished to
the government. Even that, bad as 1t
was In every respect, did not ruin the
country. It only disgraced it. We
expect to see a premium on gold a good
many times within the next year, and
we expect to see the goldite shift his
position concerning Il as often as he
has with reference to the danger
point" Of the treasury reserve. The
reader will remember that for a long
time the line was sharply drawn at one
hundred millions Then the line was
lowered to ninety millions. then to sew

gether indefinite. So will It be with the

Powerful Timetable Organizations Would
Make Victory Certain
Referring to the consolidation CT the
American Bimetallic League, the Ma
tional Bimetallic Union and the Ma
tional Silver Committee, the Weekly
Tribune of Galloway, Neb., says:
The new organization resolved to
support the party declaring in its favor;
but declares that In the event Of nom
support by either Of the great partieH,
the Union will put its own ticket in the
next campaign"
Then that paper wakes indignant over
the supposed fact that the American
Bimetallic Union has turned the cold
shoulder on the Populist party.
The National Bimetallist Is anx-
ious that no misapprehensions may
arise with reference to the attitude of
the consolidated organization, and II
will therefore say to one and all of its
readers, that II has taken no such action
as that mentioned above. It has adopt
ed no such resolutions, made no such
declaration and In fact has thus far
proposed nothing in the world but a
campaign OF education. 1t has no dis
position to ignore the Pcpulist party,
or any other. There are populists, re-
publicans and democrats connected
with 1t and they are all working to-
gether in perfect harmony for the COM
mon cause. namely, the complete resto-
ration Of bimetallism in the United

Instead OF having q pront OF $zOO, we
find that he has suffered loss OF $50
on his years work.
Now, suppose further, what Is true In
multitudes of cases. that the farmer Is
81, 900 in debt on his farm. Falling
behind at the rate of $50 a year, how
long will II take him to pay the debt?
The above figures are given Lot as
representing sta ictly the exact ratio at
which different prices have fallen. but
for the purpose OF emphasizing the
tact that should be obvious to producers
generally, that wher the prices Of their
products fall, they do not realize a full
compensation in tho decline Of other
things.
Hence the conclusion, that q general
fall In prices injuries the proc ucers more
than it Injuries any other class. The
very men who should be injured least
are injured most. When policy Is pur-
sued the tendency Of which Is to harm
the producer, it strikes at the very
foundations Of national prosperity.
This was the inevitable effect Of de-
monetizing silver, and the bulk Of the
complaints to which We have listened
during the last twenty-five years has
come from that class.
In the case given as IN illustration, II
stands to reason that II the farmer can
not reduce expenses in any other way,
be will economic In consumption. He
VIII use less Of sugar and any other
things that are not absolutely indis-
pensable. II he cannot induce the hired
man to accept q pro rata reduction Of
wages, he will either discharge him en-
tirely. or lay him on part OF the time.
Thus the wage worker comes In for his
share Of the injury.
While the farmer wi1l reduce his con-
sumption Of sugar, spices and the like,
poor people dependent upon their daily
ton must reduce on al lines. They win
consume Less bread.
