WE will adj that those rascally
Wall street sharks are dishonest, and
that they will fleece the lambs that
get into their clutches without mercy,
calling it "fnancieripg." But Wall
street never conceived of anything
half SO rascally or iniquitous as this
cold.blooded proposition Of the mil.
lionaire silver mine owners to unload
their product upon the Government
at twice its value, debase and degrade
our currancy, destroy confidence, and
rob the people of their savings. In

buncoism, the millionaire silver

To SHOW that William j. Bryan,
the Dem. Pop. candidate for Presi.
dent of the United States is the
rankest free.trader, and the bilterest
of the bitter foes to Protection to
American industries, it is only neces-
sary to search the records while he
was in Congress. In one of his free.
trade speeches delivered 10 the first
session of the ffty.second Congress
he used these horrible epithets
against the benefceDt policy of
American protection:
"What l denounce is a Protective
Tariff, levied purely and solely for
the purpose Of Protection. 1t is
false economy and the most vicious
political principle that has ever
cursed this country. But when you
have a system conceived in greed and
fashioned in iniquity / do not think
that the question Of justice can be
brought 10 when you revise it. Thai
lie, reform is not to be delayed until
justice can be rendered. But ! dc
believe, as l say, and l am ready tc
stand by il anywhere, that a Protec
tive Tariff levied not to raise revenu,
but to protect some particular indus
try is wrong in principle and vicious
in practice"
This was before the ini9uitou
Wilson bill was thrust upon the peo
pie of this country by such Congress
men as Bryan, and which brough
about the worst panic which tn
country has seen since the days of th
good old Democratic times" Th
people Of the United States hay
surely had enough Of such Presi
dents.

CHARLES HEBER CLARKE, one of
the ablest advocates of free silver
coinage in tho United States, is for
Mckinley. He says that if the
United States we're to undertake, by
independent action, to open her

prove a disastrous failure, and would
give the bimetalic movement a set.

they had so lately been entertained and made the old gentleman their prisoner. It is a fact that, finding him prepar- ing to retire, they gave him scant time for redressing and actually carried him off without his wig or his spectacles.
 Now Frank Key, young lawyer, one of his near neighbors and relative by marriage. was one of the first notified of his dilemma. He lost no time in ap plying. under flag of truce, to Admiral Cockburn. on board his vessel, for the doctors release. Instead, however, of securing his old friends liberty, he was himself detained a prisoner during the bombardment, then just beginning, and which lasted until beyond midnight. The doctor and he were permitted to be together, and but for their restraint they were treated with perfect courtesy. have never heard that either one of them ever bore the least personal re- sentiment to their ceptors.
 Frank Key watched as far as in the darkness of the night was possible the bombardment of the fort; but Dr. Beanes, with his aged sight and de- prived of his glasses, was as one blind indeed. And all through the lnemor- able night his oft repeated question touched his young friend most deap!y. ''Is the flag yet fying?" were the words with which the old man constantly ap- pealed to him; and when at earliest dawn 1t was seen that the flag did in deed still wave over McHenry. oa scrap of paper torn from his pocket notebook young Key wrote the words of the Star Spangled Banner and gave them to his old friend.
 Latter on, when first published, they were dedicated--as indeed seemed ap- proprialte--to Dr. Beanes. The follOW- ing morning both gentlemen were put ashore and returned to their homes.
 It is hardly necessary to say that from this adventure Dr. Baanes learned to restrict his love of entertaining, 10 some extent, to friends, and, al any rate, not to extend hospitality go Bri.- ish officers until peace should be de- clared, however delightful as dmrer companions they might bt. His expc- rienee was as long as he lived the theme of many jest, which he always seemed to relish heartily.
 It is related of his wife who is de- scribei as one of the gertlest and sweet est of old ladies, that she particularly delighted to remark, whenever there- after the doctor seemed about to in dulge his slightly peppery temper: My dear, think I shall have to send for Admiral Cockburn."

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER.

The Whole Story of the Writing of the
 Famous Song.
 K D. Lawrence in New York Evening Post.
 There have appeared during the fast few years, in various periodicals and daily papers, articles purp3rt;ng to give an absolutely true account cf the circumstances under which the words of "The Star spangied Banner were written and the occurrences which led to their composition by young Francis Scott Key of Maryland. Each,of these articles has been more or less correct in it's statements, the b5s. nf them nav ing appeared in the Youths Companion several years ago. No enc Of them, however, gives the story in it's entirety, as it is held in the two families by whom it is treasured with pardonable pride, as linking their names with the far off past of their country's struggle for independence, and with the compo- sition of what may be called her nation al song.
 As direct descendant of the family to a member of which the song was ded- dicated by Francis Key, I have had the story told me many times by those who knew well and delighted in relat- ing every incident of it. besides which I possess family papers and letters giv- ing many little items, interesting and amusing, connected with it, which have certainly never been published.
 There resided in Upper Marlborough, Prince Georges county, Md, in the early part of this century. an old gen tleman-a physician-Dr. Vim. Beanes. He was a member of one of the oldest families in Maryland, a family whose estate was held under deed of gift from Lord Baltimore in 1904 That deed-a quaint old paper-is still in existence. Dr. Beanes. was q man known throughout his state for his sterling qualities and his large hearted hospitality, as well as for many eccen- tricities and somewhat quick temper. He is thus described to me by very charming aged lady, who as a child knew him well, and who is yet living She adds: "Dr. Beanes was my fathers lifelong friend, as well as our family physician. He was the kindest and most lovable of men, and wonderfully gentle and patient with little children, to NHOLll llc was uSNOltu, anu lie was the only gentleman l ever knew who invariably wore ruffled shirts
 The doctors hospitality was perhaps the best known as it is to-day the best remembered of his traits. Even in those days. when hospitality vases pecfaIly in Virginia-so marked a char teristic of the people. Dr. Beanes was considered remarkable for the hearti- ness of the welcome which he extended to strangers as well as friends A doubt was often merrily expressed by his intimate friends whether if his sa- tanic majesty had presented himself at his door the old gentleman might mol have asked him to walk in and rest ana take glass of wine. They entertained however. no slightest doubt that had the fiend proved a genial and gentle manly parsonage Dr. Beanes would have joined i'll the pr0ffered refreshments would have chattsd and joked, and

might so far have forgotten himself as to invite him to call again.
 Beyond question Dr pBeanes loved the land of his birth There are instances in his life which evidenced this fact Yet it was quite impossible for him to be anything but courteous and hospit- able to the officers of the British vessels lying at anchor in the river near the family plantation, whenever they came on shore. They were gentlemen, they were genial companions; they liked a joke, enjoyed a good story, and they also greatly enjoyed the doctors rich dinners and fine old wines; and in spite of such trifles as differences of political opinions and existing warfare between their respective countries, the old man liked and cordially entertained them.
 It came to pass one afternoon-'the memorable 14th of September, 1S14- that a party of officers from Admiral Cockburn's ships, then lying at the mouth of the Petuxen't river, whose waters washed the shores of the Beanes family plantation, were dining with the doctor.
 Over their wine these gentlemen lin- gered longer than usual, and must have induged rather freely and talked some what recklessly. They were aware that the bombardment of Fort McHenry was decided on for that very night, and after leaving Dr. Beanes' house to return to the ship, it occurred to them that they had very nearly, if not quite, betrayed what was to take place. To say the least, they felt that they had talked more than was prudent. If they had done so, however the doctor had not fully understood the matter, for he had taken no alarm as to that or any inn mediate action on the part of the Brit ish.
 They returned to the house where

 New York, Jan. 2S.-Stocks were not very active to-day. The course of prices was irregular, but at the end of the day the leading issues as a rule were from A@31s per cent, higher than at the close on yesterday. The irregular ity was due to profit-taldng and selling by prominent operators, who were dis posed to work for a reduction. London was a seller of St Paul and of Louis vile and Nashville, but foreign houses were given up as buyers of the Read ings when it was demonstrated that but little long stock could be forced out. The professional traders once more took the bull side of the account, and in the late trading prices moved up steadily
 At this time the news and develop mehts were of an encouraging charac- ter Posted rates of sterling exchange were reduced 1ac to $4S71a and $4.S9; the Kansas Pacific bondholders endors- ed the Union Pacific reorganization plan, and rumor had it that the sub- committee of presidents recently ap- pointed to settle the question of per centages in the matter of anthracite coal production had reached settlement. This, with easy money and more lib- eral offering of funds by foreign houses contributed to more confident feeling as to the future of stock prices. Read ing was helped by it's good showing of earnings for December and buying by brokers said to be identified with the Morgan interests.
 The real Feature of the late trading was Sugar, which advanced to 1061s Speculation closed strong, net changes showing gains of 14 to 2 per cent. on the day. Consolidated Gas. however, gain ed 3 per cent.

THE PALACE CLING.

Sultan Abdul Hamid's Evil Surroundings.
 From the New York Tribune.l
 In order to understand and to form any correct judgment concerning the present state of affairs at Constantine pie. it is necessary to cast glance at the persons by whom the Sultan is sur rounded. Abdul Hamid himself is an estimable man, immeasurably superior to any of his predecessors upon the throne of Othman, and is not only inn bued with generous, humane and just ideas, but is likewise of liberal and progressive turn of mind. Perhaps the most striking evidence of the truth of these assertions, which may sound sur prising to those who have hitherto re- garded him as sort of Turkish Herod, is to be found in the fact that his de- mented elder brother Murad is still alive.
 Twenty years ago Sultan Murad was deposed, after a reign of few months, on the ground of insanity. His mad ness consisted in the favor which he accorded to western notions of reform and the organizers of the conspiracy which brought about his removal were the then Sheik LII Islam, and those par ticular Pachas and Beys who were op- posed on fanatical. political and purely selfish grounds to all ideas of European civilization and enlightenment. Abdul Hamid, who was fond of his brother showed great reluctance to take his place on the throne, infinitely prefer At with plenty of money and no responsi- bilities to that of the Commander of the Faithful. He. had none of those tastes

C.4NAL PROJE,

Much has been said and pub
lished Of late of the intercoastal
canal which it is proposed to
construct along the coast from
Galveston bay to the Rio
Grande, yet perhaps nothing
very definite is known general
ly regarding the feasibility and
real importance of the PROJECT.
This canal, should the work be
consummated, will form an in
land waterway all along the
coast from Galveston TO Point
Isabel, which it is said will be
made ut least $50 feet wide and
five feet deep. As to its feast
bility, the formation of the
coast line seems peculiarly
adapted for the construction. OF
such a waterway. A series of
long, sandy islands skirt the
coast for most of the distance
Galveston and The mouth of the
Rio Grande, inclosing shallow
BAYS and sounds which, with
comparatively little dredging
can easily be made sufficiently
deep and wide for the passage
of light draught vessels. The
Manufacturers Record, speak
ing of this project says: THE
waterways, of which these is
LANDS fern one side, are quite
similar to the sounds and bays
along the coast of the Carolinas
where, as is we'll known, an in
land passage has been made by
which light draft vessels can
GO nearly all the way from New
York to Florida without being
on the open sea-" As to the
importance of this scheme, il
should not be underestimate

foot of which is valuable fol
