3. Mr.. Carlisle should have ex-
planned why it was that for 200 years
gold and silver held the market ratio
OF about 1512 to l. The ratio fixed by
law was 3 to in some countries, 15 p
to l in most countries, and for a while
l6 to l in our country. In other
words, the market ratio as shown by
the tables remained practically the
same as the statutory ratio during all
that time. If the two metals cannot
stand together, how does it happen
that they did so without serious fucta-
tion for two hundred years, notwith-
standing the fact that the annual
production of each metal varied greatly
from time to time?
4. If only one of these metals can
be standard and a measurement of the
value of things, and if a combined
standard of both gold and silver is as
impossible as it is to have two yard
sticks of different lengths, who was it
that some of the greatest financiers of
the world, and particularly Baron
Rothschild, stated in 1869 that it was
the sum of the two metals taken
together which formed the measure of
the value of thingsP No matter which
metal might for a time predominant,
nevertheless the sum of the two taken
hnr hn of W N
of all property. II the same countries
had stricken down gold by law and
destroyed it for monetary uses and
made silver the sole standard would
not silver have gone up and the pur
chasing power of gold gone down?
3. Mr.. Carlisle should have ex-
planned why it was that in every
country where silver was stricken down
1t was done by the arbitrary act of
government and that neither commerce
nor business had anything to do
with it.
6. 1t is a fundamental law recog-
nized by all gold standard financiers,
except recent converts, tnat When the
volume of money In the world is
reduced the selling price of all prop
erty and commodities goes down cor
respondingly. Therefore the wiping
out by law of nearly half the money of
the world, had to reduce the selling
price oil commodities proportionately.
And inasmuoh as the debts were not
reduced, as interest was not reduced
and as taxes were not reduced, does
not Mr.. Carlisle think even now, just
as he did in 1873, that great crime
was committed against the entire
debtor class and against the producing
class by bringing about condition of
affairs by law which compelled the
debtor, the producer and the laborer
to sell twice as much property or labor
as were formerly necessary to get the
same amount of money?

IL. A year ago Mr.. Cleveland sent
for his former law partner and close
friend and through him Cleveland and
Carlisle together made a secret con-
tract with another friend, who was a
former client of Cleveland, by which
that friend and his associate speculators
were enabled to make nine or ten mil
lions out of the government in few
weeks on small bond transaction. And
the reason given for this extraordinary
and even criminal procedure was that
the speculators and sharks of Wall
street had agreed to protect the gov
ernment against the gold raids until
the following November. That is, the
wealthiest, the most enterprlsing, most
powerful, most industrious and thrifty
nation on the globe paid tribute to a
small band of spectators for protec-
ton. And when the month of Novem-
ber arrived these spectators withdrew
their protection and then the govorn-
ment proceeded to issue another hun
dred millions of bonds, thus increasing
the burdens of our people. Now, Mr..
Carlisle might have expiated on this
and pointed out to the American
people the lofty character of the states
men involved in these trantactions, for,
strange to say, many of our intelligent
people are utterly unable to compre-
hend it. While Mr.. Carlisle does not
seem 10 have been a success in the
capacity of bunco-steerer among the
laboring men of Chicago, there are
many points upon which he could be
very interesting, and would suggest
that they bring him back and let him
talk aoOut matters in which he is at
home.

patriotic? For, in the absence of an
explanation, some of us might think
that they were honest and patriotic
when, in the vigOr of their manhood,
they were standing by a wronged
people, and that it is the latter end of
their career that is destitute of honesty,
intelligence or patriotism. Carlisle
should have told us.

during all these years. Yet the
director says in his reports of 1891
that during the Paris exposition the
total sum spent by our people abroad
IN one year was over 500, 200, 900.
Why does Mr.. Mr.. Carlisle use figul es
that he knows are incorrect and are
manifestly given out only for the pur-
pose of misleading the American
people on the question as to the
amount of money they have in cir
culation?

The Good Roads Question,

From the johnson County Star.
There is to be a good roads con-
vention at Higginsvllle beginning May
I'd. This county should be repre-
sented at that convention by a good
strong delegation. There is no more
important question before the people,
in our opinion, than the question OF
good roads. A convention may not
secure all we would like, but every
step in the direction of Improvement
should be encouraged.
Warrensburg's interest in good roads
is greater now than at any previous
time and if the merchants and Others
of our town hold the business that
rightly belongs TO them the roads
leading into the city from the country
must be kept in good order The
farmer will take his produce to the
market which he can reach to the best
advantage. Let us send a good dele
CATION TO Higginsville and let us have,
if possible, the next convention here.

MAJOR EDWARDS ONLY DUEL.
He Fought Col. Foster. Not John Cock
erill, and no Blood Was Split.

The New York newspaper which
between John A. Cockerill and Major
John N Edwards was very much in
error" said superintendent of mails
Walter Plattenburg to a reporter of the
Kansas City Star. Major Edwards was
a brother-in-law of Mr.. Plattenbnrg.
1.-The only duel in which Major
Edwards was engaged was with Colonel
Emory 5. Foster. That was on the
afternoon of September 4, 1875, six miles
north of Rockford, in Winnebago county
Illinois. Major Edwards was then, on
the St. Louis Dispatch, StillsOn III utch
mss paper, and Colonel Foster was on
the st. Louis Journal. The difficulty
arose over a criticism written by Major
Edwards on those who were opposed to
inviting jefferson Davis to make an
address at The Winnebago county fair.
Colonel Foster, in an g iitorial reply,
made personal reference to Major d.
wards, which the latter felt in honor
bound to resent, and Colts 3S-caliher

exclaiming, Il shot little too high
Major Edwards was very belligerent and
demanded another shot. Colonel Foster,
the challenged party, refused the request
saying that his honor was satisfied and
that he had given Major Edwards all
that he could ask. Major Edwards
finally consented to end the duel, and
advanced and shook hands with the man
at whom he had just sent whistling
bullet. There was n general hand
shaking, explanations and regrets fol-
lowed and the quarrel was ended

Do you know that three-fourths
of the money earned by the farm
ers come from the swine Industry
and in order to obtain the best re-
suits you should have your hogs
in good condition at all times in
order to secure the top market
price.
All breeders and farmers should
follow some system as TO the care
of their hogs, as nearly twenty
five million dollars worth of hogs
are lost annually, as statistics
show. with cholera, swine plague

BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE A QUESTION

BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE A QUESTION
On Saturday morning last. as Samuel
Hendricks was walking along the beach
north of the town, he discovered the
body of a man lying face downward Oh
the sand near the water. On exam1la-
ton it was founl to be the body of Ole
Oleson, a native Of Throyaln, Norway,
who had for short time been employed
at the Treadwell mine running a ma
chine. He had formerly been employed
at the Apollo mine at Unga and had
been on Douglas island but short time.
He came to Douglas to spend Christ
mas and was known to have imbibed
q lite freely during the day and evening.
The last seen Of him was about O'Clock
Frid ~ night. He was very much in
toxicated and was walking along i'll front
of D. w. Walkers hardware store. No
particular attention was paid to him as
he was attending 10 his own business.
He passed on up the street It was very
dark and it was at first generally be-
lieved that Oleson walked off the high
sidewalk near E street, where the creek
empties into the bay, and that the swift
rushing waters had carried him out into
the channel, but that the strong eddy
formed a. this point had again washed
his body up onto the beach where it was
discover ed by Mr.. Hendricks. Word
was Immediately sent to Judge Mellen,
ex-officio coroner, who proceeded to the
place where The body lay and began all
inquiry into the cause of death. A jury,
consisting Of George F.. Walker, H. w.
Day, Wi liam Hicks, Clark Miller, S. J.
Kane and Harry Maley, was empannell-
ed and an inquest held. After hearing
coul say nothing further than that the
man had been seen about the streets the
day before, that his name was Ole Ole
son and that he was an employe of the
Treadwell company, the jury returned
verdict nf accidental drowning. The flu
neral occu red at 100 p. M. Sunday at
Ohman's hall, Rev. A. ]. Campbell of
ST. Luke's church, officiating. The in
terlnent was made in Evergreen ceme-
terry, Juneau.
While it was generally supposed that
Oleson came to his death by drowning, a
rumor is now current that such was not
the case, bu. that the man had met with
foul play. That he had wound ON the
back of the head which appeared to have
been made with a blunt instrument.
1t is probable that the rumor is
groundless, but it is stated that steps

Death of Philip Starr.

The community of Douglas and Juneau
were shocked Yesterday to learn of the
death of that sterling old pioneer, Phil.
Starr. While it was generally known
that Mr.. S arr was not in good health,
yet the news of his death caused pro-
found surprise and sorrow. About two
months ago Mr.. Starr sustained injuries
from fall which confined him to his
home until about two weeks ago, when
he was again able to be out around town
appat emily as we'll as usual. But his age
was against him and it is probable that
the injuries received at the time served
to hasten his end
Phillip Starr was about 63 years of age
and was one of the pioneers, having
passed the last twenty-three years Of his
life i'll the mining camps of Alaska.
He was born III Ireland but removed
to this country with his parents when
six years of age. He came west in 184o
during the gold excitement in California
and spent several years in that state.
From California he went into the Carl
bou country, remaining several years.
From Caribou he removed to Cassiar,
thence to Juneau, sixteen years ago,
where he has since resided. He was

CARTOONIST GILLIAN DEAD
A Little Sketch of His Struggle fol
Recognition
All Brooklyn Laughed at His Serious Pict-
ure, and All the World Laughed ut
His Caricatures

AMSTERDAM, N. Y, Jan. 19.-Bernard
Gillian, the noted cartoonist of Judge, died
this morning at the home of his father-in-
law. His death was the result of an attack
of typhoid fever.
Bernhardt Gillian was an Englishman
by birth. When he was Is years old his
family came over and settled in Brooklyn,
where Gillian went to school. When he
left school he announced himself as a
serious painter and in due time exhibited a
dramatic picture in a Brooklyn gallery.
All Brooklyn went to see this marvel and
all Brooklyn laughed. Even Giilam's
friends poked fun at him. He went into a
lawyers Office as clerk, but before the end
of the year he turned to art again, and as a
portrait painter had a feeble success. He
saw clearly that caricature and the cartoon
were his gift, and he began to try to force
an entrance into the weekly papers. His
first work was for Frank Leslie's Weekly.
He soon made something of a reputation.
and was made member of the staff of
Harper's Weekly. His position as car
toonist was established. From Harper's
he went to Puck and there drew the car
toons that gave him his national reputa-
ton. The first of these, The Tattooed
Man, will be remembered by all who re-
member the Blaine campaign of 1884. He
left Puck to join w. j. Arkell, in the estab-
fishing and building up of Judge. He be-
came partner in the firm, the firm name
being Arkell & Gillian.

THE PACIFIC CABLE SCHEME
Advances a Long Step Toward the
Starting Point
1t Will Touch Only at Points Controlled by
Great Britain-The Expenses
Provided For

SYDNEY, N. S. W., Jan. 19.-A confer.
ence of the postmaster.generals from sgd.
rey, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide,
the latter representing also West
Australia, Tasmania, with Sir W.
in London for New Zealand, met
here on Friday and Saturday and adopted
resolutions that Saul Samuel and Duncan
Gillies should be nominated to represent
Australia on the Pacific cable commission
in London, and that they be requested to
consult the agent-generals on all important
points.
The concessions are to be subject to the
approval of the colonial government. The
conference also resolved that the cable
should be owned jointly by the various gov
ernmepts interested, and that the landing
places should be solely on territory con-
trolled by Great Britain, the cost of con-
struction and maintenance to be borne by
Great Britain, Canada and Australia in the
proportion of one-third each.
The route from FIJI to Australia is TO be
to Norfolk Island, thence to the nearest
convenient landing places in North New
Zealand and Moreton bay.
1t was further resolved that it was highly
desirable that South Australia should Join
in the scheme.
Responding to an invitation OF the con-
ference, DR.. Cockburn submitted an offer
on behalf of South Australia that she was
willing to cooperate, provided guarantee,
either from the contributing colonies or
from them jointly with the imperial gov
ernment, be given that her financial basis
as regards the Port Darwin line should be
maintained in the basis of the average for
the last five years. The conference re-
solved in favor of all the colonies contrib.
uting equally to the scheme.
