Congressman's Reply to the Gov
ernor's Late Letter.
East st. Louis. ILL.,, Sept. 3.-Congress-
man Forman last evening gave this reply
TO Gov Aitgeids last letter:
There is nothing in your letter worthy
of notice" begins Mr. Fornan; yet for
the purpose OF explaining some things yuu
have said 1 shall write you few lines
The only thing of importance is your asser-
ton that 1 am actuated by malicious mo-
tives. and you give two facts in Cor
roboration.
First, that in private interview you
told ME that you had no confidence in
me- Second, that / asked you for an
office, and, smarting under your refusal,
l wrote the letter recently published.
THE conversation to which you allude
occurred in January, 1896. l had been
spoken OF as chairman of the State central
committee, but heard you We're opposing
me. 1 at once telegraphed that would not
allow the use of my name further When
I came to Springfield to attend the meet
ing OF the committee, you said the only
reason why you objected to me was that
some of your friends who were not friendly
with me felt that the power OF the chair
manship placed in my hands might be used
to oppress them, and that You preferred
Hinrchsen. / told you, that your cxplana-
ton Of 1t was satisfactory, and that
would be for Hinrichsen.
Nov, as to my wanting an office under
you, knew that Mr.. Fithian was TO be
appointed o member of the board of rail-
way and warehouse commissioners. knew
that this would preclude my appointment,
had desired the place. Mr.. J. NJ Brown
ing, OF Duquoin, was a member OF your
State board of mine examiners. He was
more your friend than mine, and in his anx-
iety to strengthen your administration he
suggested my appointment, and your state
ment warrants that conclusion. 1 h.ve
never authorized Mr.. Browning or any
othe person to apply to you for position. u

The biggest factor in the future ofcycling
is the small boy. The small boy, it is al
most needless to say, has taken hold OF the
sport with all the enthusiasm the most fault
finding manufacturer could ask for. A few
years ago he was satisfied with Il cumber-
some solid tire, and poorly constructed
wheel, but toda he is a judge OF the merits
OF the various pneumatic tires. nd he has
absolutely no use tor a wheel without ball
bearings and all the latest improvements.

MEN WERE oUARRELrSG.

Mr.. Warren picked the knife up Saturday
night at the corner OF Pennsylvania avenue
and Fourteenth street. His business often
necessitates his remaining down town late
at night. 1t was In the neighhorhood OF
IL O'Clock Saturday night when he walked
up Fourteenth street from the direction OF
the Monument grounds AS he neared tho
intersection OF the Avenue he saw two men
quarreiing on the street.
While the men were far enough off the
main thoroughfare to keep in the shadow
Of the building at the southwest corner, yet
the light from the opposite side OF the street
shope distinctly enough 10 permit Mr.. War
rem TO see them plainly
Both were neatly auired- They wero
white, but had unusually dark complexion
and hair. This latter tact, in addition to
their talking excitedIy in foreign tongue,
gave the impression that they were Span
iards.
The conversation was becoming more ex.
cited each minute and when Mr. Warren
approached within about thirty feet Of the
pair he saw the taller one draw back I'd
slap the other in the face The victim OF the
blow reached 10 his breast and the. next In
stant the blade OF a knife glistened in tho

Who will be this years champion? That
is the question that is ON the minds OF
allwho have followed the doings OF the rae
ing men this year. This great question Will
scarcely be decided before the national cir
cuit meet, to be given in Philadelphia, under
the auspices of the Associated Cycling
Clubs, on September 12. The work of the
men at Springfield yesterday shows very
conclusively that the men are So close to-
gether In the riding that it would be hard to
pick the winner OF any two events, were the
same men entered in each.
The big men are all riding about the same,
the only variance being at times when one
or the other may have an off day. The
flyers who viii compete at Philadelphia,
however, will be those who have followed
the entire circuit. and will come fresh from
their trials at Springfield. The grand
$hOo open race will be the biggest event
OF the season, as the big 'uns'' will be
divided up into several heats, the winners
TO compete IN the final.
If ever championship honors are to be de-
cided, they will surely be settled in the final
of this race, when they viii all be strug-

Weapon enPickedUpby by Hugh w arren

Hugh Warren, who lives on Q street.
and who is employed as clerk in a down.
town establishment, has in his possession
large, finely made knife, that may fur

lice may be called upon to solve.
The weapon is as handsome as it is dan

steel blade, that measures fully eight inches
from the silver plated hilt to the point
The edge is as keen as a razor, while the
cleared sides OF the blade glisten whenever
turned toward the light
On one side are etched the words: Hun

etching was done shows the high CONNER

The handle is of ran's-horn. II is five

IL there is any farmer who feels
that when he sells his oats for 10
cents bushel he is getting too
much for them, all he has to do is
to vote the Republican ticket and
keep gold going up, and after
awhile he will not be troubled with
spending more than 5 cents. lilo
cents to-day buys a bushel of oats,
3 cents will buy a bushel when you
make money twice as dear as it Is
now and if the time comes when
a man does not want to be annoyed
with spending as much as 5 cents
as the proceeds of the sale of a
bushel of oats, he can keep on vot-
ing the Republican ticket until the
amount is so little that it will not
trouble him at all.-Bryan.

COMMUNICATES.
SILVER vs.. GOLD.

We have heard and read so much about
the intrinsic value Of gold, in the recent
past, that we are somewhat disposed to in
quire into the nature of this intrinsic value.
The Baltimore Sun and American is speak.
ing of the intrinsic value Of wheat or pota-
toes go into the essentials and tell what IL
Is. Wheat, for instance, contains so much
OF the life sustaining substances, therefore
II has an intrinsic value, and that value
by the consent of the contracting parties is
measured by so many dollars or cents.
But of the nature Of the intrinsic value of
gold they are silent, and necessarily so,
for gold has no intrinsic value that the pro-
ducers OF wealth need concern themselves
about Because of its inherent qualities
copper is worth more intrinsically than
either gold or silver. In the useful arts il
helps to mitigate the wants Of man; silver
or gold only pleases his fancy. The plow
has an intrinsic value, because with the
same amount of labor the farmer can pro-
duce more of the necesssries of life. And
so with ANYTHING that can be applied in the
useful arts that meets mans needs or adds
to his comfort; but Of gold, the great ma
tority of the wealth producing class would
be as well of were il not known. Then
what's money Money is simply medium
Of exchange. Every dollar represents so
much service or benefit bestowed on ones
fellow man, and is guarantee that sim
liar service or benefit can be secured in re-
turn. II is a more convenient mode Of ex-
change than barter. We find in a recent
issue of the American an editorial setting
forth that because of the intrinsic value Of
gold and the stability of that value, nations
have adopted IT as their money metal
Nothing can be more preposterous than
this, though oil of the gold standard press
reason from the same standpoint The ex.
act reverse is true. Gold has ixed value,
because II has received the flats Of the na.
tons. Let the nations say it shall no long
er be money, its intrinsic vslue would be
very small and its mercantile value would
vary as much as any other useless fancy
article. Let the nations place their fiat
upon silver and what would it become |?
Simply money Of whatever value they

Is il indeed sad 10 chronicle the death of
q friend, or q relative, but sadder still that
of dear and devoted mother, for such was
hers. for her husband and children were
her jewels and their pleasure and comforts
were her chief delight.
When We visit the old homestead and
see the vacant chair we miss her and pause
to drop tear. but we feel II is selfish and
sinful 70 wish her back again. For months
before her death she knew her life on earth
would soon be ended, and q ray OF heav-
emily light seemed to open on her visions 10
soothe and cheer the departing soul. She
bore her Affections with true Christianlike
fortitude and resignation.
Nobly at her post she fell.
Our mother kind and true,
Beloved by all her friends 30 well
And Kind to all she knew.
Tears within her children's eyes,
The children's breaking hearts,
Can only tell the agony
How hard it Is TO part.
Farewell, dear mother, thou art at rest,
And shall forever be,
You could not stay on earth with US,
But we can come 20 thee.
Mother, how can we give thee upy
You whom we loved so well;
How can we drink the bitter cup
And say the word farewell
Jesus in mercy bring Us,
To that dear land of rest,
Who COI tha T.
And spirit ever blest.
By HER CHILDREN.
Died. on Sept 26, 1895, after q lingering
illness, JOSEPH WARREN, infant SON of
Jennie and Harry ]. Clarke, aged about 8
months.
"Suffer little children TO come unto Me.
and forbid them not, for of such is the
Kingdom Of Heaven"
Sweet infant flown to realms above
Where clouds and sorrows are never known;
Flown back to Him who lent thee but
awhile.
To cheer thy loved ones why thy smile.
And still ct parting, bitter tears did fall,
From tireless eyes that by thy side hath
watched.
Still the thought, sweet and silent, will
soothe the heart
That in Heaven he pleads to meet them
ne'er to part. L.F.
