CALDWELL ON COERCION
HE EXPRESSES THE OPINION
OF AN HONEST
JUDGE.
The World Herald Seeks to Obtain a
Letter for Campaign Purposes and
Receives a Reply Most Honorable
and Fair-Employes are at Liberty
to Vote as They Please.

TheO maha World-Herald has taken
the trouble to wire Judge Caldwell ask
Ing whether it will be necessary for
employees OF interpretations under fed
eral receiverships to vote for William
Mckinley In order to hold their
places?"
To this question the Judge has very
properly replied hat 1t would not be
necessary for employees to vote for Nc
kinley or any other candidate in order
to hold their places, and hat If cases
OF coercion were brought to his notice
where employees were dismissed for DO
litical reasons he would at once order
the dismissal Of the receiver, general
manager or other official making tie
discharge.
Now, what was The purpose of the
World-Herald in sending this dispatch
to Judge Caldwell? Simply to create
in the minds of those who do not keep
fully posted upon political events the
impression that coercion had been at
tempted upon the Union Pacific system.
Every employee of this system is per-
fectly free to cast his ballot just as he
chooses, and the World-Herald is cog
INFANT of the fact. The coercion we
hear OF is always in some other town
and the facts can never be verified. The
World-Herald. which was for a 25 to |
dollar two years ago, had better raise
another point to create class prejudice;
the coercion business will not be be-
lieved by the employees of the Union
Pacific. They are freemen and will
vote as they please and for their best
interests.

old SOLDIER" GAN
Marion Pennock Takes Him to Task
for His Vagaries.

Editor OF The Republican: There IS
a letter in the Laramie Boomerang of
the 10Th OF this month claiming to have
been written by an old soldier at Tie
Siding. l have no doubt about the let
ter being written at Tie Siding, but l
do doubt the writer being an old SOL
dier. If he is an old soldier he certain
ly must be ashamed of his record as a
soldier as he fails to sign his name to
the batch Of rot published in the
Boomerang. Perhaps he did his SOL
dtering in the confederate army. I
have talked to all the old soldiers in
this precinct and all of them who were
honorably discharged are for McKin-
ley and sound money.
Poor old soldier says that Judges
Groesbeck and Brown in their speeches
at Tie Siding. reminded him OF a
monkey at a circus climbing a pole,
etc. Now the author of that letter
don't have to climb any pole for peo-
pie to Q what he is Is nature has tried
to fool no one in his makeup.
Now. Mr.. Editor. II you have room
please give this space in the columns
of your paper. as the old soldiers up
here 6eel as though they were being
slandered by being suspected OF being
the author OF the Boomerang letter.
Very respectfully yours for McKin-
ley and sound money and good gov
eminent. MARION PENNoCK,
Late a Private In Company H, 144th

TREASURES STEPHENS.
His Views ON the Presidents Message
He Felt Like Hurrahing for
Cleveland When He Read 1t.
From the st. Paul Globe.
When asked for bis views upon the
prospects of war, State Treasurer
Stephens said: when read Mr..
Cleveland's last message felt like
beating the ground with my hat and
hurrahIng for ''Grover Cleveland and
the United States of America" l
haven't been tor some years feeling
very kindly to England, anyhow, be-
cause of her meddling with the finances
of our country. In my judgment there
will be no war, but there is one thing
certain, Americans are ready for it and
are not apprehensive as to the result
of it. England Is tyrannical and domi-
neering in dealing with weak nations,
but as soon as she sees we mean busi-
ness and admit of no further trihing,
she will yield 10 our demands. The
Anglo-Saxon races will NIT 60 to war
with each other over the Venezuelan
issue. 1t is not of sufficient import
ance to justify it. England has every
thing to lose in war Ut this time, be-
cause, while eudeavoring TO protect
her supposed claims in South America,
Russia would join hands with America
or would take advantage of the op-
portunity to make sneak on India;
France would gobble up Egypt, Ger
many, Africa, and during the fun Ire
land would possibly give ber more or
less trouble, and when the smoke of
battle was cleared away it would be
found that we had swallowed up Cana
da. Mr.. Cleveland's message thrilled
me with the old time admiration had
for him. He has vitalized the Monroe
doctrine as it has not been since its
promulgation.' 1t has in it the true
American ring, and has put into our
blood, north, east, south and west, the
fire of battle. There are no republi-
cans, democrats or populists new in
this country-we are all Americans.

ed to Quantrell, nor why they followed
him.
In 1861 Quantrell enlisted in Kansas
as private in troop of cavalry. He
crossed into Missouri and was good
soldier Under the leadership of Price,
who was man of probity as well as
courage, and who was idolized by the
southern sympathizers of Missouri.
Quantrell was with Price at Lexington,
and followed him in his retreat to
Usage. He had also been at Carthage
and Wilson's Creek. Price said he
was the handsomest man he ever saw
in the saddle. When the idol of the
Missou1 Confederacy reached the
border, of Arkansas every mans time
had expired. That is every man was
at liberty to go and enlist in the trans
Missouri department or turn back. Up
to that time not one of Prices soldiers
owed an allegiance to the Confederacy
of Davis.
When the alternative was presented
to Quantrell, he said he would return
to Missouri. He told his old CON-
mander this:
al have some matters there to settle,
and in doing SO / can be of more
service to you than can be here"
Price knew HIM and knew what he
meant. He parted with him after this
conference, and as Quantrell rode away
eight men followed him. Every one
of these eight men was well mounted
and armed, and each one of them had
. personal account on his hands.
One of them was Coleman Younger.
He had the mark of the rope of jay
hawker on his neck In less than sixty
days these eight men came upon q
camp OF militia near Indepenence, Mo-,
and Cole Younger there killed his
first man and made 3 notch in the
handle of his pistol. 1t seemed to
v het his appetite.
This same man, sixty days later, at
the head Of command gwen him by
Quantfell. dashed into Independence
aud terrified 1t, and drove out some
soldiers. There were some women in
that country who glorifed in the Con-
federate cause, and who aided in many
ways worthy of a higher purpose. One
of these women was supposed to know
the ambuscade of Coleman Younger. A
jayhawker commander arrested her,
and ordered his men to fall in behind.
The woman was put in the lead; be-
hind her were the raised carbines Of
the jayhawkers. They were to shoot
her if she attempted to escape. She
was to lead them to Younger's camp.
She never faltered. When she came
to the amt bush Younger saw the situa-
tion and withdrew for parley. Within
forty minutes a man rode out of the
wood with white handkerchief tied
to hazel switch. The iayhawker COM
mander, supposing the messenges was
the bearer of proposal to surrender,
received him. The messenger handed
him note written with pencil and

jayhawker expected. The reading of
this note thirty-three years later will
not embitter the most loyal man. Here
is copy:

The Sound Curi ency" Gag.
What does '.sound currency" meanp
1t means nothing but our old familiar
national bank notes. They are to be
nominally redeemable in gold and, like
all the rest of the bank notes, will be
redeemable when nobody waDIs them
redeemed and will not he redeemable
when redemption Is. denanded Look
at the history of this .'sound currency
1t came into existence at discou, of
sixty per cent. below gold. Il stayed
at discount for the first fourteen
years. Whenever during ihe time that
il has existed we have had panic its
redemption has been suspended. Inthe
artificial panic of three years ago the
entire lot of sssound currency" shops
in the great cities of the east suspended
payments in their boasted "sound cur
rency.'' Not only SO, but at this very
time when they are conspiring with the
foreign enemies Of this government,
the partners of European banking
houses, the Ikelheimers aud I.ader-
burgs and the RothschiIds and Bleich-
roeders, to force this governent toissue
bonds that ought not TO be issued, so
that they can upon them get more

.ssound currency banks find that they
cannot meet the demands made on
them. They are about out of silver,
gold, greenbacks aud ''sound' notes.
So each one takes out some OF the'notes

money and deposits these notes and

BORDER WARFARE.
Interesting Historical Incidents in
Connection With Quantrell's
Remarkable Career.
What was known as the guerilla
warfare on the border was more exact
ing than the Mosaic law. The formers
banner was black flag and the motto,
carried out to the letter, was '.A scalp
for scalp Long after the concilia-
tion and the kiss of peace between the
blue and gray, more than quarter of
a century ago, it was considered unsafe
on the Missouri-Ka border for the
the survivor, guerilla or jayhawker, to
even forgive the dead that had been
engaged in the strife, says the Chicago
Chronicle. There are now few left of
either band of that no-quarter organi-
zation, one side of which was captaiued
by Jenuison, Lane and Ransom of
Kansas aud Penick of Missouri, and
the other led by Quantrell, Anderson,
the Younger brothers and the James
boys. All but one of the list that
abused the blue are dead. Three of
the latter that rode in any UNIFORM. but
who were Confederates at heart always,
are living. The Younger brothers,
Coleman and James, are serving lite
term in the Minnesota penitentiary for
murder growing out of a bank rob-
bery. Frank James is free man.
During the summer of this year l

off his pistols and belt only after he
had rode out OF his own country into
