REPUBS IN CONVENTION.
STEPHEN B. ELKINS GIVES HIS
VIEWS ON THE MONETARY
QUESTION.
He is a Silver Mine Owner. But His
Selfshness Does Not Prompt Him
to Jump at Hasty and Ill-Advised
Conclusions-Dakota Republicans
Stand on the Platform.

Parkersburg, w. Va, July 22.-GRe
largest state convention ever held in
this state began at II o'clock TO-DAY.
Senator Elkins. temporary chairman,
received an ovation lasting seySral
minutes. He spoke for about an hour,
sounding the key note of the West Viz
ginia campaign. Elkins discussed the
tariff and silver questions at length.
After showing how the newly develop
ed industries of West Virginia had been
depressed since 1892, he produced sta
tistics in favor of protection as most
important issue for the development of
the natural Il Of the mountain
states. The platform favors protection
and sound money as being also of vital
importance to the business interests Of
a growing state. He said: 1T can be
safely said that the advocates of free
silver. fiat money. are regulators OF
obligations and contracts, and enemies
Of the ourts Those opposed to sound
money and against maintaining the ma
tional credit are those who are opposed
to rights of property. Socialists, COM
munist and anarchist, can all with
equal consistency stand on and SUP
port the Chicago platform adopted by
the new democratic party. The party
that adopts such p platform is getting
ready to die or our republic is" Sen
ator Elkins introduced his argument
against free coinage as follows: Il
have been a producer Of silver for over
1G years; naturally | am its friend aud
favor its largest possible use as money
consistent with sound and stable cur
rency. My interest would incline me to
favor free coinage Of silver If | could
see it was practicable, possible, or il
rested upon any sound principles. Peo-
pie now demanding it's free and unlimit-
cd coinage at l6 to l, when silver is on
ly worth 81 to ! are its worst enemies
apart from the injury it would do the
country. l did not favor the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman act, because
| felt as a friend Of silver and as a citi-
zen it would increase the production of
silver and thereby lessen its value in
markets and destroy confidence in it as
a money. This was the result Sem
ator Elkins argued free and unlimited
coinage would not only drive gold u
of circulation and demoralize business
but would also debase the white metal
so as to finally destroy it as a money"

HE WON THE CASE.

Perhaps the quickest interference of
the much Photographed and talked of
mother-in-law comes from across the
river, in the Hawkeye state. A lad of
some 10 summers. loved and wooed and
won an airy cherub some 16 years old.
They were married. The license was
perfect. The parson tied the knot and
wished the pair joy and prosperity. But
not so. The mother-in-law, on the
part of the girl, came and claimed her
daughter. In fact, she took possession
of the bride, and the husband walked
his way alone. Then the husband sued
for that which he claimed was his. 1t
was habeus corpus proceedings. The
caused much amusement and
time and of course no little anxi-
on the part of the married pair. The
judge examined the law. looked at the
documents and decided that the youth
full bridegroom could have her, and
they walked away arm in arm-much
to the discontinue of the enraged
mother-in-law.
Now it appears that the bridegroom
will be arrested for perjury, it being
claimed that he represented he was of
age. But the honeymoon will hardly
be interrupted.
And this shows again that love
laughs at mothers-in-law as we'll as at
b~lacksmiths or locksmiths. So it was,
so it is, and SO it seems it will always
be. The redoubtable Cupid is a hard
parsonage to hold down if his bow is

NO LIGHT FOR POPULISTS.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 22.-When s
O'Clock, the hour for the convention to
convene, arrived the hall was in dark
ness. Delegates were huddled in seats
In front Of the platform while groups
Of faces swayed in the light of a few
candals that fiickered on the press
tables. About this time a middle OF
the roader thought he discovered the
refusal to turn the lights On vas a
part OF a scheme Of the Bryan people
to prevent the straight out element
from controlling the convention. This
aroused storms of protest and the mid
die of the readers went charging about
in the darkness to discover the cause
Of the unprecedented situation.
ut is a scheme Of the Bryan men,"
the Texas delegation shouted. Some
one mounted the stage to yell. The
Bryan people have put out the lights
but II they nominate Bryan we will
split this convention wide open"
The aisles were choked with dele
6ulCS puollih6 ahN Siopih6 III ""s
about in the dark. There began to be
some apprehension of some sudden
alarm which might stampede the dele
gates and cause disaster. The band.
under Instructions. kept up a constant
fusilade of airs to allay the fears Of any
who might be alarmed. Whenever the
band played a hymn the delegates
Joined in the chorus. AT 500 "Cy-
clone" Davis mounted the stage and
tried 10 secure order but the crowd re-
fused to listen until some u held a
lighted candle in frcnt of his face. He
announced that the electric light wires
were "disaffected" burt that they would
be all right In a few minutes, whereup-
on there were cries Of approval. At
$40 Chairman Butler appeared on the
stage and called the convention to or
der. He announced the committee on
credentials would not be able to report
tonight and as owing to an accident
there was no light ne would declare
the convention IN recess until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. The dele
gates then quilted the hall.

rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to n constipatcd condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
