Alleged Rioter Sues For Damages.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 2S.-
William Gammbold, railroad
brakeman, has begun suit against
lhe Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany and F. G. Darlington, super
intendent of the Indianapolis
division, for $4,000 damages for
malicious persecution. The suit is
the outgrowth Of the American
Railway union strike Of 1894, and
is brought as a test case. Gamm-
bold, with John Buck, II. Rabold
and Tom Morairity, American
Railway union strikers, were
charged by Darlington with having
"killed" a switch engine after
driving off the engineer and fire.
man and violating the injunction
OF Judge Woods. Darlington was
also at that time a deputy U. S.
marshal, having been sworn in.
Gammbold was arrested at Terre
Haute, brought to this city and
kept in Jail for ten days. He was
tried, and acquitted. The defense
will be based on the proposition
that Darlington was a Federal
officer at the time he made the
affidavit, and that neither Darling
ton, as a United States marshal,
nor the railway can be held re-
sponsible.

fusion of Populists and Democrats. The
Democrats will now believe themselves
strong enough to paddle their own canoe,
which will tend to intensity the already
bitter feeling between them and the Popu-
lists, and the consequence is likely to be
q coalition between the Populists and the
Republicans, the latter making the deal
to add strength to their lines and the
former to get revenge for Democratic inso-
lenee and perfidy. Should such deal be
made the State could be put down as re-
liably Republican at the November elec-
ton, for all the sound Democrats
could be counted upon to either support
Mckinley or the middle-of-the-road Dem
ocratic ticket that will be nominated next
month. And, again, the manufacturing
districts which gave Democratic maiori-
ties at Mondays election are very sure to
go equally as solid for Mckinley on the

RATIOS AND VALUES.

The adoption Of a monetary system on
the basis of 16 of silver to of gold is an
admission that gold is sixteen times more
valuable than silver. But by what author
lty is that particular proportion adopted? :?
1t is not the market proportion of the
metals, hence there would be Just as
much reason in making the proportion
to 1 as l6 to 1. In admitting that gold is
always the "I' or basis for measuring the
value of silver, admission Is made that it
is the market value of the '1'' that gives
it the right to fix the proportion, and it is
also an admission that any ratio that is
not fixed by the metal markets Is an arbi-
trary proportion, or, in other words, fiat
comes in when the ratio is not in harmony
with the difference the metal markets
make.
1t follows, therefore, that if we are to
have free anu unlimited coinage of silver
without reference to the market proper
ton of values there would be more sense
in making the ratio to than 16 to 1, for
then not only would silver bullion be
doubled in value, as compared with is to
1, but the coin would be very much more
convenient TO carry. In either case the
Governments fat makes good the deficit
IN the market proportion. and If the Gov
ernment has the authority and power to
make good one ratio by fiat it has the au-
thority and power to make another good.
1t is a mistake to suppose that money
controls the price of merchantable articles.
It does nothing of the kind, but the mar.
ket controls the price of the article (metaD
that money is made of, and the metal
that has the same value as bullion as it
has as coin is necessarily the 81" which
establishes the proportion or ratio, but
only when not esta blished on the basis of
the market proportion is the fiat OF the,
Government employed. Hence, as we
have already said, if the market proper
ton is to be abandoned, and ratio estab-
lished by fat, of silver to of gold would
be far better than the heavier dollar OF 16
TO 1. But would the difference between
the fat ratio and the market proportion
be made good in fact by the Government
commanding that it be SO?
There is no doubt that so far as the local
trade and commerce of the United States
are concerned the Governments fiat
could be enforced, but 1t so happens that
we have enormous and most valuable
commercial transactions with other ma
tions. We of America know it to be fact
that were we to fiat" to silver dollars
the people of other nations would accept
them for only 81 cents each, and that if
we were to make the ratio 16 to they would
be received for only 81 cents each. because
we had ignored, the market proportion.
The consequence would be that We would
have to do our foreign business on the ''1''
basis, permit our silver dollar to be taken
at the market proportion, or quit doing
business with outside people.
Now, the plan of the Republican patty
is for ell the nations that are doing busi-
ness with the United States to meet and

cratic party, but they claim that as the
machinery and organization of their own
party has been captured by men who are
not Democrats, they deem it their duty to
join hands with the party that stands the
best chance to annihilate the captors of
their organization. 1t is not that these
boiling Democrats have changed their
political opinions, but they are business
| men engaged in business enterprises, and
they see that unless Bryan is turned down
there will be a panic, just as Bryan him.
self says there will be if he is elected.
But what is true of Democrats in Los
Angeles is true of them in all the trade
centers of California. They are not talk
ing much, but when asked they do not
hesitate to say that no self-respecting
Democrat could countenance Bryan's pro-
posed attack upon the Supreme Federal
Court nor any other of his communistic
theories, and that as business and as a

is to help the Republicans drive the
Bryans and Altgelds into political oblivion
and then rescue and reinstate the old
Democratic organization with true blue
Democrats on guard.
Not few Democrats regard coalition
of the old timers of their party and the
Republicans as the surest and safest way
to recapture their own organization and
| meanwhile to prevent the economic mon
strosities of the Bryans taking more def
mite shape than threats. 1t is mistake
to suppose that Democrats of the old
school are coming to the support of Major
Mckinley for the one reason of Bryans
position on the money question. They
regard his threat of a sectional admins
tration, his threat to revamp the Supreme
| Court on Populistic lines ana his threat to
have the civil service law repealed so that
his henchmen may be provided with fat
offices as far more dangerous to the COM
| merce and industries of the country than
his monetary system. 1t is because the
platform apon which Mr. Bryan stands is
hostile to the traditions and principles of
Democracy and therefore un-American
and dangerous that Democrats are going
to help the Republicans send him into
everlasting defeat.

delight. the more eagerly doubtless because
they had rigidly starved themselves by abstain
ing from all literary diet OF an imaginative
character. Clergymen, deacons, devout women,
every class of religious minds, raven
ously devoured that story. To be
sure they had previously read that beau
tiful narrative about the "Prodigal
Som; but that was a parable. They had read
"Pilgrim's Progress" but that was an allegory.
A novel, pure and simple, was ranked with
theater attendance, dancing and card-playing.
1t was always spoken of by the pious in tina

From that day to this novelreading has been
one of the delights even of evangelical circles.

The popularity OF Dickens, Thaekeray, Col

THE ALABAMA ELECTION.

Alabama goes Democratic by an i'm
mense majority, while the Populists show
a surprising weakness. However, the
campaign was one of men rather than of
principles, and in no sense did the Ma
tional issue exert any influence for or
against either party. The manufacturing
districts went Democratic in the face of
the fact that the majority of the voters
are protectionists. The counties which
have large negro population rolled up
Democratic majorities, but to what extent
the tissue ballots and other methods to Sc
cure majorities for the Democratic candi-
dates were employed would be hard to say,
though it would be quite safe to assume
that the negro vote was manipulated with
out the voters being consulted.
The Silver Democrats are claiming it as
a Bryan victory, but it is nothing of the
kind, nor is it an anti-Bryan victory In
State elections in the South the Demo-
Gratis are united. Thy want the loaves
and fishes and the exclusion of the negroes
from public office. On these two propo-
sitions all local elections are held. Nat
urally the negro vote is Republican, but
as between the Democratic and Populist
party the average negro would side with
the former. The wealth and the aristoc-
racy OF the South are not found in the
Populist party, and as a rule the negro
will have nothing to do with poor white
trash, and that is the reason he does not
care much whether there is truth or not
in the charge of election frauds when the
charge is made by Populists.
The majority which the Democra tic
ticket received is not, however, a reliable
indication as to how the State will go
at the Presidential election, but it may be
accepted as the fact that there will be no

LAWLEss DEMOCRACY.

By the incessant beating of their free
silver drums the Democrats and such
Populists as they have managed to entice
from the middle of the road are trying to
distract the attention of the people from
other features of the Chicago platform
which are worse even than the demand
that the remon etiZation of silver shall be
intrusted to the management of an mex
perienced orator dominated and controlled
by men like Altgeld. Tillman and Peffer.
These frantic attempts to mislead the
people are not likely to avail much. a
long compaign is before US and every voter
will have abundant opportunity to study
the Chicago platform as u whole. Atten-
ton will not be directed to the free coin
age plank to the exclusion of every other
plank. Workingmen will be reminded
that the platform declares for continu-
ance of the Cleveland tariff policy and de-
nounces protection to American industry
and wages. Men of capital win be re-
minded that it declares for the odious in
come tax and calls upon Congress to take
steps to procure a reversal of the decision
of the Supreme Court against that unjust
taxation. Good citizens of all classes will
note that the right of the Federal Govern
ment to suppress riots that endanger pub
lie property is denounced, nor will they
overlook that the denunciation of the Su-
preme Court is followed up in another
plank by a declaration against the prin-
ciple of life tenure in office, which strikes
blow at the constitution itself and threat
ems one of the bulwarks of the Govern
ment.
t., Ill e - H. md
traces of that discomfort with American
institutions which savors Of lawlessness
and threatens anarchy. The industries,
the money, the laws, the courts, the Gov
ernment and the constitution of the Re-
public are all assailed more or less directly
in this extraordinary platform. An at
tempt to carry it out would mean grave
disturbance of OR whole political indus
trial and financial system, and success
would be nothing short of revolution.
Nor can there be any doubt that the men
who controlled the convention and framed
the platform intend to carry it out if they
can. The rhetoric of Bryan was fashioned
of fair seeming words, but in the speeches
of Tillman and Altgeld no attempt was
made at coneealment. 1t was on their
part distinct declaration of an intended
war against property and law.
The conservative element of the Demo-
cratic party has taken due note of these
revolutionary declarations. The men who
are leaving the party are not all of them
advocates of the gold standard. Many q
free silver Democrat refuses to support
platform of such measures when intrusted
to such an irresponsible man as Bryan.
Thus it is that all the better elements of
the people are coming together in this
campaign. 1t is in the fullest sense con-
test of law against disorder, prosperity
against disaster, and he has but little
patriotism or poor intelligence who does
not see which side he should take in the
conflict.
