NOT r NAMES

The maiden speech of Senator Till
States Senate "a commented by all
but the %plutocrat5 Of the old parties
for its frankness, holiness and truth
fulness. The full text Of the speech
was published in certain newspapers,
and the principles which Tillman
enuncihted were declared t be in full
accord with the sentiments of the
Populists. and his name was placed
at the head Of the columns OF at least
One Populist paper for President Of
the United States. Now. for no other
apparent cause than that Tillman has
declared that he is not n Populi~t, his
Dame has been hauled down from the
mast head and he is execrated by
those who idolized him and pro-
claimed him the modern Moses, the
Saviour Of the country, a few short
weeks ago.
This implies that men who assume
to be patriotic, men who pnse as re-
formers, men who designate all who
differ with them as the purchased
tools of corporations, are more devoted
to party lanes THAI to party princi-
pies. Senator Tillman ha+ not re-
tracted a single charge that he made
AGAINST Cleveland, Sherman or any
member of the gold alliance nor dis
carded any Of the principles whirh he
enunciated in his speech liz the Sem
ate, yet he is refut-d by at least u "i
his recent woTShipltrs bpcals- he is
not a Populist. There is consistency

THE MORNING APPEAL.
WILL HAVE TO.WAIT.

The APPEAL is constantly in receipt
OF letters asking us when the Govern
ment is to move on the Jury and witness
brioers in the late Mint cases. We
can only say to those who seek infor-
nation at the hands of the APPEAL
that We don't know any more about
the matter than these people who make
inquiries.
The U. S. District Attorney, Charles
jones', is the only person who can en-
Iignten the public on that score and
the APPEAL knows of no law that can
compel him to do it if he don't want
to. The public will have t., await the
pleasure OF the Government officials
in the matter.
There is still at least a years work
ahead of the U. S. District Attorney,
il he proposes to maze examples OF the
men who handled the dirty corruption
money Of the defense in Ia Mint
cases.
There are some people who take the
ground that the men who bribed wit
SSN NoAlubiCi IhlI'o IL NoiIiilllN-
ed deliberate perjury in the Mint cases
to save the defendants, have sunk SO
low In public esteem hat they have
been sufficiently punished. The AP-
PEAL does not take this humanitarian
view Of the subject. The proper place
for these people is the prniteuti4ry,
alongside Of jones and Henev, and
nothing less will satisfy the public de
mana for justice.
II az example is not made Of thu Sc
men they will regard immunity from
justice as a viudication of their coarse
and be at their old tricks again the
first time an opportunity Presents it
self.
The APPEAL hopes to see the time
wen a poor nan with DO pull will
have the same nance with a our Of
justice in Nevada as a millionaire,
and We shall continue to labor f0rthat
end. We have no official Information
from any source regarding he future
movements OF the Government repre-
sentatives.
Some weeks the Government
was ready for trial in he Coffin con
tempt case and the court held the in
di'tment to be faulty. He pointed out
very plainly how rht defect could be
cured by the Insertion of four words.
The Us Attorney can at any time
insnTt those fur words and proceed tc
a trial Of the caSA on ''iuf0rmatiun

The Count has stated from the hencf
that "%bribery, c,rruptipn and perjury

A Queer Case.

There is an eX-railroad fireman In
Detroit who passed through some novel
experiences, while operating in the line
of duty. Once, in the woods of Mis-
souri,, he was tackled by black bear
while standing by his train; and, in
stead of climbing on top of the car,
he ran five miles into the wilderness,
and had to flag passenger train in
order to get back to his job. Another
time they were passing alongside of
a long platform, and he sprang out to
close a switch. 1t had been raining, and
when his feet struck the slippery
boards he slid along as if on ice. A
man and his wife and two children
were watching him. and laughed out
right, but before they could laugh
again, the fireman shot into the group
like stone from catapult, and there
was dreadful mix-up. The father of
the family was so angry that he had
the fireman arrested for assault and
battery. When the case came to trial
the fireman's lawyer extracted such an
amusing account of the affair that the
prosecutor was glad to be spared by
paying the costs and having the case
dismissed.-Golden Days.

A COMICAL BlUNDER.
Supposition OF Two Men That NaturaIl,
Led to Considerable Mim,cry.

Spraggs went out to the deaf and
dumb asylum the other day TO inspect
the institution. Upon entering he Ell.
eountered man, evidently an inmate,
and he at once endeavored to explain TO
the man by making signs upon mis- fin
gers, that he wanted to look through
the. place. The man also made signs,
which Spraggs could not comprehend,
Then Spraggs made other and more
elaborate signs, which set the man 70
work with great violence, and for the
next half hour they stood in the hall
gesticulating and twisting their fingers
without either being able to compre-
hend what the other meant. says An
swers. Finally Spraggs became angry,
and in an outburst of wrath exclaimed: /:
"Oh! get out, you idiot. I'm tired of
bothering with you'll"
Thereupon the man said: "That's
just what | was going to say about
YOU"
"0h, you can speak, can you? Then
why in the name of thunder didn't you
say so, and not keep me standing here
motioning to you? thought you were
deaf and dumb"
And | thought you were," said the
man.
II came here to inspect the asylum, {"
said Spraggs, "and l took you for pa
tient."
That's what / came here for. and /
thought you were an attendant" said
the man.
Here Spraggs and the man shook
hands and hunted up a genuine attend
