that she should have $50 month. The

Opposed to Continuous Racing.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 6.-Govern.
or Matthews made the following state.
ment last evening in regard to the ef-
fort the State is making to prevent con-
tinuous racing in Lake county "The
State believes that continuous racing,
although upon separate tracks, is wholly
under control of one association, and
this is violation, or certainly is an
evasion, of the law. 1 doubt if anyone
gets more real enjoyment out of good,
fair, honest and legitimate racing than
l do, but to conduct racing simply as q
cloak of gambling purposes alone will
brig all legitimate sport of that kind
into disrepute."

IT Is conceded by some, if not by all,
of the prominent Virginia republicans
who attended the late State convention
of their party, that had the introduce
ton of free silver resolution been al
lowed in that convention, it would have
been adopted by large majority. Free
silver is craze that seems to have al
fected the vast majority of the people,
irrespective of party. They apparently
think that as no change in the currency
could make their condition worse, free
silver coinage might make it better.

THE CAssARD.-A dispatch from

THE CAssARD.-A dispatch from
Norfolk says: The report that the sus.
pected filibustering steamer Howard
Cassard, which for several weeks past
has been undergoing repairs at the
yards of the Newport News Shipbuild-
ing and Dry Dock Company, slipped ont
the capes yesterday, reporting as the
steam yacht Yampo, no destination be-
ing given, and that she is now on her
way to Cuba, is generally discredited in
shipping circles here. The Cassard
will shortly be given a trial trip, but a
crew from the shipyard will speed her,
and it is highly improbable that any at.
tempt would be made to get the vessel
away under false colors at present, as
her new engines have not been tested.
Despite the denials of her owners, the
opinion that she will ultimately enter
the Cuban service grows daily.

THE most pronounced republican ad-
vocates of the nomination of Mr.. Nc
Kinley for President, say that candi-
date is for bi-metallism. Bi-metallism,
of course, means silver currency alone.
for with free coinage of silver at 16 to
1, all gold money would at once be
withdrawn from circulation. But
though this fact is as plain to the re-
publicans as it is to all other people, and
though they know that Mr.. Mckinley
will be the nominee of their party,
they still profess to be in favor of what
they call Sound" money. The object
of the republicans is to regain control
of the country's treasury, and to
achieve that they will hesitate at moth
ing.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 6, 1896

IT Is always best to choose the lesser
of two evils. The observant people
of the country know that those who
said Mr.. Cleveland would break up the
democratic party, were true prophets,
and they also know that to run DEM
ocratic candidate for President, on q
sound money platform, in the present
condition, not only of the democratic
party, but of the people of the United
States, irrespective of party, with any
hope of success, would be midsummer
madness. The question, then, for every
body,.in the South to consider, Is, wheth-
err it would be better to have unsound,
that is counterfeit, money, or the Force
bill. with all the dire ills that it implies,
to pass which is the avowed intention
of the republicans, fthey regain control
of the country? By themselves alone,
on a sound money platform and with q
sound money nominee, the democrats
have no possible chance of success at
the next Presidential election, unless
their victory be bought and paid for
one. But on a counterfeit money plat
form, and with candidate, professedly
at least, in favor Of such money, in the
existing demoralized, disconnected and
reckless condition of the vast majority
of the voters, they would have the sup
port of the silverites, the populists, the
farmers alliance, and all the other
Adullamites, and, with their aid, they
might succeed. And besides. most OF
the harm of counterfeit money would
be done in the North. But even were
it otherwise, thousand times better,
counterfeit money, for the South, than
the Force bill and return to the evil
days of the reconstruction period.
Truth may be disgusting, but it is less
injurious in short, than in long skirts.

there was demand on the republican
side for a vote. Mr.. Erdmap said it
did not seem to be the purpose of the
other side to have the report on the
bill read; they were afraid, he charged,
to let the public know the merits OF
these bills. He called for the reading
of the report in his time.
Upon the next bill, Mr.. Dingley call
ed for the reading of the report which
subjected him to some good natured
chatting by the democrats and the re-
publicans who have opposed some of
the bills reported by the committee on
invalid pensions, who ironically sug-
gested that he was obstructing bust
ness.
When the third bill was reported,
Mr.. Dipgley asked unanimous consent
that the report be printed in the record
without reading, but objection YVES
made by Mr.. Erdman.
Matters progressed quietly for few
minutes, when Mr.. Erdman said he
must protest against this blocking of
pensions by the gentleman from Maine
Mr.. Dingley) who would insist upon
having the reports read. He had been
charged with the blocking of pensions at
the Friday night sessions when he
asked to have the committee reports
read. He would ask who was block
ing pensions now. He reminded the
gentleman from Maine of the useless
ness of his efforts.
The majority, he said, had not, and
would not amend or reject a single
bill, and the satuFnala, as he designated,
was to last "a hours. "But if you are
going to read these reports" Mr.. Erd.
man concluded, "you wont be able to
pass all your bills IN twice "a hours"
Other representatives united in call
ing for the reading Of the reports.

Looks Like spite on the Part of
Thomas Williams

Charles Wv Tuthill of No 20 Mande-
vile avenue. was arrested last night by
Chief Clerk Frank Higgins of the Sher-
ifs office ON a capias issued by Justice

He remained in Warden Mitchelps office
a couple of hours while his friends were

Thomas Williams, president and general
manager of the Griffing Iron Works.
The facts SO far as could be learned are
these:-Tufflill was employed as a clerk
in the iron works He is also a stock
holder in the concern. About year ago
he borrowed $500 from Williams. giving
him demand note and putting up s., 600
of his stock as collateral security for the
payment of the note. Williams, he says.
never made any demand on him for the
payment Of the note. Tuthill, however,
learning that the stock which he had put
iu as security was to be disposed of in
some way, raised the $500 and rendered
1t ITO Williams.
That gentleman refused either 70. re-
ceive it or return the stock. Tuthill then.
through Judge Potts, Instituted proceed
ings for the recovery OF his stock. An
order was secured from Chancellor McGill
restraining Williams and the company
from dfsposing of it. The suit is pending.
A short time ago Williams IN the name
of the Grsffing Iron Works began an ac-
tion in tort against TuthAl for $50, ,8l3 so.
