AMERICAN SENTENCED FOR
LIFE

Key West, Fla, Sept. 9.-The Span
ish authorities in Havana continue to
show their hatred of American citi-
zens. According to advices received
here, per steamer Mascotte, L. Some
illan, who was arrested several
months ago as a Cuban sympathizer,
was convicted and sentenced to. the
Isle of Pines for life. Someillan is an
American, and has a brother in this
city, who is a Southern Methodist
minister, and is doing missionary work
among the Cubans here. The evil
denec on which Someillan was con-
yicted was very fiimsy. 1t is said Con-
sui General Lee made an energetic
protest against the trial of Someil-
Ian, but the Spanish authorities treat
ed the protest with contempt.

FARMERS NOT WARNING ON
CITIES.
CITIES.

John NJ. Stahl. secretary of the
Farmers National Congress of the
United States, in the North Ameri-
can Review" for September:
TO hold farmers responsible for
POpulism is not a greater mistake
than to suppose that farmers are in
fiuenced in their interests. Tens of
thousands of farmers daughters are
in the cities, not only as wives of sue
cessful men, but the flower of the
stenOgraphers, clerks and teachers
there, and the love aud pride Of the
old folks at home. Nearly all of
them have deposits in savings banks.
I have the honor to know four farm
ers' daughters, skilled stenOgraphers,
diligent workers, honest and virtuous
girls, that by using one large room for
parlOr and bedroom, by preparing
their own meals in addition to the
hard work of the Office, and practic-
ing other economies, have each been
able to save several hundred dollars,
deposited in a Chicago savings bank.
Their fathers and brothers would
guard those handmade savings al
most as they would guard the good
name of those girls. There are tens
of thousands of other such girls hay-
ing savings bank deposits. Can any
one that knows the farmer think for
a moment that he would favor legis-
lation that would take away nearly
ene-half the value of those deposits
legislation that would be indeed "a
crimeT Farmers sons are the large
majority of the successful business
men - manufacturers, merchants,
bankers-of the cities; who that
knows them can believe that the faith.
ers and brothers on the farm will vote
hurt to the boys in the city of whom
they are so proud.
Farmers understand the interde
pendence of industries. They know
that any policy, whether it relates tC
the tariff or the currency, that re
duces the output of factories and the
business of merchants, must lessen
the purchasing capacity for farm pro
ducts; that any measure that banks
furnace fires and lowers the wages OF
working men must lower the prices OF
beef and wheat and wool. As
shrewd business man as we'll as pa
triot, the farmer would have every
spindle hum, a merry fire at every
forge, and every workman's pail wei
filed.

MANY BIBLES IN CHINESE.

The Rev. John r. Hykes, agent of
the American Bible society, in China,
has prepared a table that the bible, or
parts thereof, has been translated in
to more than thirty Chinese languages
and dialects, while the number of diff
ferent versions used in these transla-
tons is almost countless. The bible
has been printed not only in Chinese
characters, but in Roman letters as
well. In one instance the phonetic
character has been made use of, and
a portion of the scriptures in charac-
tiers for the blind has been published
in Mandarin.
The first part of the bible to be
found in the Chinese language was
the New Testament, translated by the
HISTORIANS between the years 627
and $50. In 1916 a bible was found
in China. This was probably a Mes
torian version. In 1905 copy of
the new testament and Pslams was
published in Mongolia, and bible
in the same language was found
in China in 1885, according to a let
ter written by Pope Benedict XIII.
The first translation of the scrip
lures in the classical language of
China was begun in 1904, by Joannes
Iassar. and was cOmnleted in 1907
1t comprises a part of Genesis and
Matthew. The first portion of the
scripturesto be translated andpublish-
! ed in Mandarin was the New Tesla
ment, in 1855. Mr.. Hykes mentions
26S publications of the scriptures in
the Chinese.

Fundamental Fact.

Every time a free-silyer orator claims
that free-silyer coinage law would in
crease the price of wheat and similar prod
ucts, he is practically admitting that the
American dollar would be deprecated
The price Of these products is fixed in the
Liverpool markets 10y the competition of
the worlds great wheat producing nations.
The gold price of these products will de-
pend entirely on their supply and demand
TherefoTe if the price Of wheat in Ameri-
can silver dollars is advanced so little by
free coinage it must be only because the
American silver dollar has deprecated in
value and in purchasing power. When the
free-silver orator, therefore, says that free
coinage will raise the price of wheat, he is
practically admitting that the money in
which the wage-earner, the store keeper,
the savings bank depositor, the life insur-
ance policy holder, the pension veteran and
all others who work for money or who
have money coming TO them, will be paid
will be Of less value than it now is. This
should always be borne in mind, as it
forms the very essence of the free-silver
movement.

What Bryan stands for.

The Democrat who supports Bryan
should do so with his eyes open. Bryan
represents the free coinage of silver at the
Ii to ratio, which, If carried into effect,
would put the nation on a silver basis
and enable debtors to repudiate fifty per
cent of their obligations. He represents
opposition to President Cleveland's policy
of preserving the public debt untarnished.
He stands for the theory that when riot
breaks out in a state, and the laws Of the
United States are violated By the conniv-
ance Of the state executive, there is no pow
er in the United States government TO en-
force its own laws. He is in accord with
the proposition that the United States ju-
dietary shall hold their tenure for a fixed
term, thereby laying them open to the dan
ger Of being Influenced in their decisions
by mob sentiment or partisan clamor. He
stands for the revival of the spells system
and the Gripping Of the civil service. He
may not say in so many words that these
are his views, but they follow naturally
from the assertions of the Democratic plat
form, and he must abide by the platform
il he is to remain the party candidate.

According 10 a woman who has lived in
Jerusalem for forty years, the Jewish pop
ulation Of that city is increasing. "Twen-
ty-two years ago." she says, there were
only between 1900 and 10000 Jews in
Jerusalem. In those days no houses were
TO be found outside the magnificent walls,
the gates of which were closed at night.
Since then many changes have taken place,
and the Hebrew population-mainly on &C
count of the increase of the Jewish immi-
grafton from Russia-now stands at be-
tween 10000 and 10000. Whole streets
Of houses have been built outside the walls,
on the site of the ancient suburban dis
tricts, which for hundreds of years have
remained deserted. II is not, however,
only in Jerusalem itself that the Jews
abound; but throughout Palestine they are
buying farms and establishing themselves
in a surprisingly rapid manner. In Jeru-
salem they form at present a larger com
munity than either the Christian or the
Mahometan."
The St. James's Gazette says that the
gold plate of Windsor castle consists of
about 10000 pieces. 1t is kept in the
gold pantry, which is an iron room situ-
ated on the ground floor under the royal
apartments. The clerk of the pantry gives
it out in iron boxes and receives a receipt
for it. 1t is carried by special train, under
escort of guard Of soldiers, and delivered
TO the butler at Buckingham palace. He
gives a receipt for it, and is responsible
for it while it remains at the palace. The
same formalities are observed in taking it
back, and all persons concerned are glad
when it is once more restored to the safe
keeping of the gold pantry. The total
value of the plate in this department is
nearly e2,000,000. A great deal of it dates
from the reign of George w., but among
the antiquities are some pieces which were
taken from the Armada.
The tenor of all the dispatches from
! London on the Venezuelan question shows
that England, while anxious to be on
| friendly terms with the United States, is
not anxious to recognize the Monroe doc
trine, nor is she willing to surrender what.
ever advantage she may have at present
or be able to acquire hereafter in the dis,
| puted territory. We in the United States
are losing sight OF the Venezuelan contro
versy in the fresher and more absorbing
excitement of our political contest, but
| England is not, and she is playing a deer
diplomatic game to avoid, if possible, the
surrender of such important possible ad.
vantages in the future as formal recog
milton of the Monroe doctrine would i'm
ply.
A motto in mechanical circles Just now
is, keep your eye on compressed air, for it
may soon supplant electricity as a motive
power for street cars and other purposes.
A successful test of compressed air motors
has just been made on the elevated roads
in New York, and in Worcester, Mass, a
system of street cars is being introduced
TO be driven by compressed air. This sys.
tenn is also being introduced in Europe.

A district judge in Kansas, whose po-
litical tendencies are decidedly of a Pop
ulistic turn, publicly declared Saturday
that Mckinley and Sherman are anarchists,
and that he had sent better men than Pres
ident Cleveland to the penitentiary. Or
dinarily it would be better to pay no atten-
tion to such unwarranted insults upon
three such leading public men, but we

whittier the honest Democrats are drifting

form and candidates. Record.

DENOUNCED BY THE WIDOW.
Exciting Scene During the Trial of
StambulOR's Assassfns.

StambulOn's Assassfns,
Copyrighted 1896, by the Associated Press)
SOFIA. December 2S-As briefly cabled ex-
cusively to the Associated Press last night,
Nine. Stambuloff, widow of the murdered
ex-premier of Bulgaria, whose alleged as
sassins are on trial here, made a short but
impassioned speech yesterday before the
mixed tribunal which is hearing the case
Mime. Stambuloff, when Tic trial was be-
gun, declined to attend, but. in response to
repeated requests, she attended the sitting
of the court yesterday. dressed in the deep
est mourning, a long black veil concealing
most profound silence fell upon the assem-
blage. The widow rose with great dignity,
and, speaking in voice shaking with pas
sionate emotion. she said:
You have insisted upon my presence
and am here. have nothing to say, be-
cause do not see arraigned before your
honorable court those who are known to
be the real assassinS Of my late husband
You know them, Mr.. President. And you.
too. Mr.. Procurator General. Is it not so?
You know them, as all the world does
Where are they? 1 do not see them here"
Then, with gesture full Of fire and in
dignation. the unfortunate lady exclaimed,
pointing to the alleged murderers of her
husband: "AcQuit these miserable people.
Summon before you the really guilty men.
who are at present the government. 1 have
nothing to add, and l Will now withdraw"
These utterances of the grief-stricken
widow of the great Bulgarian statesman
known as the Bismarck of Bulgaria, who
was SO terribly hacked and shot in the
streets of this city July Is. 1885, that he
died July 18, after his two hands had been
amputated. caused the deepest impression
upon the audience. which was composed
of people belonging to the higher ranks Of
society.
The presiding judge and procurator gen.
eral public prosecutor or counsel for the de-
fense) were SO dumbfounded and unneryed
by the terrible earnestness of the woman
who SO forcibly denounced the methods
employed in the trial of the alleged muir
derers of her husband that they were un.
able to put a single question to her, and
she left the court room a living picture of
grief, demanding vengeance from a tri-
bunal of which she knew too well that
little or nothing could be expected.
The address of Mime. Stambuloff before
the mixed tribunal Is a matter of great
comment in the government newspapers
today. But the keynote of their remarks.
taken from the leading organ of the min,
istry of Prince Ferdinand, is that the wife
and friends of NJ. Stambuloff ought to have
taken measures for the protection of the
men who. the government newspapers add
either labored under mental derangements
or was SO convinced Of his own misdeeds
that he sought death In the streets"
