Our paper dollars are also endorsed in the same way by Uncle Sam. But with free coinage of silver, as proposed by Bryan, the 53 cent dollars would be legal tenders for one dollar and they would lack the government endorse ment, the promise to keep them equal to gold. Being less valuable than gold, the silver dollar would be paid out in- stead of gold and gold would be saved and sold for the premium and go out of circulation. Prices of all things would be raised to make up for the shrinkage in value of the dollar, but wages would not be raised. The price of labor is regulated by the local de- mand, the price of products by the world demand. People who have de- posted 100 cent dollars in the savings banks would draw 50 cent dollars. The shame of it. for the government to dis charge it's obligations in 50 cent dollars in payment for 100 cent dollars receiv- ed. Take gold and pay in silver.
 Mir Barbour tore to tstters the claim of Bryan to be the representative of true democracy. Bryan voted for the popu- list Weaver four years ago, never was a democrat and never would be. The Chicago convention violated all demo- cratic principles and precedents. When the silverites discovered that they lack ed two-thirds majority in the conven- tion, they coolly unseated the regular delegations from Nebraska and Michi- gan. Without the unsesting of the Ne braska delegation, Bryan would not have had chance to make the speech which got him the nomination. True democrats were not bound to follow this Populist Bryan. Mir Barbour made an earnest appeal to true democrats to join with republicans and bury the silver heresy beyond hope of resurrection, and then the victory would not be partis an victory, but victory of national honor and patriotism under the flag ot a common country.
 At the close of MT Barbour's address the glee club sang "Columbis. the Gen of the Ocean" and the Red, White anG Blue." and then Hon. Hubert Williams of Lakeville, spoke briefly but with tell ing effect. He said that he had com, to listen and not to make speech. H. compared the three. .cornered Populisti' Demolistic ticket to Pluto's three-h head ed dog, Cerberus, which stands at tn, gate of he'll. The farmer had been lug ged to the front in this campaign. Tn, farmers wheat had fallen because h, was brought into competition with tn, cheap labor of India. Silver could b produced for 21 cents an ounce. w had sunk over $40. 900, 900 trying t, raise the price of silver. He made
 strong plea for the right kind of protec tion. Said that we were in the position of the Prodigal Son and it was time t, rise and go home. No one man is wise than all men combined and the com bined wisdom was in favor of the gol' standard, Mir Williams also announce, the re-nomination of Hon. Donald I Warner, of Salisbury. as senator for tn 18th district, which was received wit much enthusiasm.
 After singing America" led by tn Glee Club, and giving three cheers fo Mckinley and Hobart and three nor for 'the inimitable Joe Barbour" tn audience dispersed.

Deafn... Cap,r he Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets lnflamed you have rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an inf1amed condition of the mucuous sur faces,
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (eaused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

MAHER'S EYES REALLY SORE
At Least the I'll PasO Correspondents
Profess TO Believe the
Statement.
REASON GIVEN FOR DEFERRING FIGHT
Maher Returns to Las Cruces Possibly
He Has No Sand Except in His
Ewes - Fitzsirnmons in Good
Condition Sruart's Secret.

Ell Paso, Feb. 14.-Peter Maher's eyes
were trite better this morning. The
opinions of his physicians differ, some
maintaining that he would be out In three
days and others giving him at least q
week to remain in his room. Even IT
Maher is abie } enter the ring on Mon
day, he will not be able to do himself JUS
tice.
Maher has been practically out of train
ing for week and will certainly be able
| to do nothing between now and Monday.
If the fight comes off on that Gay the
chances of Fitzsimmons will be very
greatly increased. He is in splendid con
dtion.
MAHER SAID TO BE WORRIED.
Maher is greatly worried lest the public
NAV think that he has backed down Or
that his sore eyes are snbterfuge to en-
able him to avoid going into the ring.
Anybody seeing the mans condition could
not entertain such an idea an instant. He
is not orly utterly unable to see, but so
helpless that he can not care for himself
Connolly, his trainer, said this morn
ing: eff Peter isaround by Monday, there
will be fight as far as we are concerned.
We are sure our man can win even If he
has been compelled to let up in his train
ing. He is dead game and more than
willing to fight"
SPOT STILL SECRET.
Stuart says he is ready to pull off the
fight any time when the men are ready.
The spot where the battle ground is, is
still secret.
MAKER RETURNS TO LAS CRUCES.
Peter Maher was taken back to Las
Cruces to-day; an ocuIist accompanied
the pugilist.
Six Texas rangers kept guard on Ma
hers room last night.
FitZsimmons came over from Juarez
to the theater last night. During the
performance two rangers entered the box
and told Fitzsimmons that he was under
arrest.
After the show Fitzsimmons was es-
corted to the river by the rangers.
No attempt will be made to bring off
any fights before Monday. Many people
are leaving the city.
AS VIEWED AT WASHINGTON.
Washington.-A great deal of talk is
INDUCED in about the departments here
to-day over the prospective fight. The
department. of justice has information
that it is the plan Of the prize lighting
party to go by rail from Ell Paso, Tex,
into New Mexico along the soathern
border and to disembark upon the terri
torial soil. From there it is the plan of
the party to walk over into Old Mexico
and hold the contest there. The United
States marshal will be ready to catch the
crowd as soon as 1t disembarks from the
train, and even If there is no intention of
fighting on United States ground there
may be some trouble in getting the COM
batants and the accom- panying crowd
onto Mexican soil.
