the national organ OF tne Rreat
fraternal order of Odd Fellows,
appeared lately the following
editorial favoring silver
1.-THE SouUenir does not handle
political questions, i. O., from a
partisan standpoint, nor is the
question of finance a partisan
question in any sense of the
word.
1T is, however, question that
vitality affects the great order of
Odd Fellows. This is q great
benevolent institution, and any
thing that retards the progress
of the order is subject entitled
to the fullest consideration. A
contraction of our currency MAX
es money dear, and thus increas-
es the burden of our members.
If the purchasing power of
money becomes great, the price
of labor and the products of
labor become less valuable;
hence, if the purchasing power
of the American dollar is twice
as great under the gold standard
as it would be under free coinage
of both gold and silver at the
ratio of is to 1, then it will be
twice as hard for the members
to pay their quarterly dues under
the present gold standard as it
would be under the free coinage
of both gold and silver. 1t is
also twice as hard for those out
side of the order to pay the price
of admission.
s'When we look of the reports
of the various Jurisdictions and
see the thousands of brothers
who are being suspended from
the benefits of the order by their
inability to pay their dues, it is
simply appalling. The order
now pays out for relief about
three and one-half million dol
lars annually. If the present
condition continue it is only a
matter of time when there will
have to be made o sliding scale
this sliding scale will be to de-
crease the number of dollars paid
for the relief of members and
families of deceased members OF
increase the dues of members
that the present ratio of dues is
as high now as the members Car
pay goes without saying. Their
the only thing left will be to de
crease the benefits. 1t is argued
that we should have only the
kind of money that will pass il
parts of the world. Nothing car
be more absurd. Our gold Gag
les as now coined are not accept
ed at their face value in all the
countries of the world and never
have been-never will be. 1t il
more difficult to pass gold money
in the United States than it is {
piece of American silver. An
other objection urged against th'
use of silver is its weight. Will,
o silver dollar is much heavie
than gold dollar it is also tru,
that a laboring man can carry

Tonawanda, n. Y.
Mate Duquette's story is that the

ging, sails and deckload of green oak
timber were swept away. After a vain
enGeavOr to regain control of the vessel

find some trace of the crew but gave
them up for lost. Then he drove here
to take a train for Detroit and notify
Mr.. Cham berlain, the owner of the
vessel, of the loss.

The settlement of the school ques-

who We're defeated at the last general
election, l am confident, would have
settled the question much more justly
and equitably, had they possessed the
opportunity.
The Conservatives took the stand that
the Roman Catholics should have the
right to use their own taxes only, and
should be given no government support.
The Liberals grant the right of any
denomination for half an hour religious
instruction at the close of school
hours They also granted a con-
cesSion which permits of text
books printed in both English and
French, and wherever there are 30 Ro.

trict, no matter if there be twice as
many Protestant children, the Roman
Catholics are to be entitled to have a
Roman Catholic teacher
Another point in the settlement of
the school question is this:
The text books are to be entirely re.
vised, and that which is Objectionable
to the Roman Catholics in history or
literature is to be removed. These are
the terms of the settlement which have
been referred to as highly satisfactory

Il KEY WEST, Fla, Nov. 10.-Advices

bv Spanish soldiers. The massacre
occurred Thursday near the town of
San uJosedo las Layas. Havana province.
A detachment of Spanish soldiers sur
prised six insurgents who, however,
made their escape, which angered the
Spaniards, and they began to raid the
houses in the neighborhood,> alleging
hat the inhabitants We're in sympathy
with the rebels. The Spaniards went
o the estate Of Frederick l.. Craycroft,
Tho came here from Indiana about
\ hrce years ago. Some of the soldiers en-
erred the house and two of them seized
Mrs. Craycroft and assaulted her. The
husband, in desperation, rushed to her

he hands of an officer. Two horrible
,ashes were made in his back, and his
fright arm was nearly severed. The
|Spaniards looted the house, took $3.50
IN cash and then raided other houses ON
he estate. They burned eight build
Ings and shot and killed 10 inmates,
Jour of whom were women. Craycroft,
when he recovered sufficiently, wrote

Serious Allegation Made by Surviving
Sailor.
MUSHROOM, Mich, Nov. lO.-The
schooner Waukesha broke up while
trying to ride out the gale at anchor
near here, and only one survivor of her
crew of seven has been rescued.
The Waukesha is one of the old feet
of "canalers,' and, true to all tradi-
ton, she has taken almost her entire
crew down with her in her last disas-
ter She was owned by F. H. Head of
Chicago, and Was formerly known as
the Nabob.
Says the Captain Was Drunk.
During the evening Frank Delach,
the survivor, made affidavit to the ef-
feet that there were seven men aboard
the Waukesha, Captain Duncan Corbett,
the mate, four seamen and colored
cook. When they arrived off Muske-
gon, Delach said the captain, mate and
some Of the sailors were very drunk.
They signalled for a tug, but showed
no distress signals, and no tug under
these circumstances started out in the
heavy sea. The captain anchored q
mile south of .Muskegon harbor. The
craft began leaking badly, but the
captain refused to light the
torch to make known their condition tc
the ifesaving crew. The crew donned
life preservers, all hands taking to the
forward rigging. The craft, however
began sinking rapidly and a sudden
lurch threw some Of the men from tn.
foremast. AS part of them clung to the
rigging the main topmast broke off and
fell upon them striking some of them
and sweeping all into the lake. Delacl
said he contrived to get together raf1
from the wreckage to which five of the
men hung for time. They dragged
the captain with them. but he was t.
helplessly drunk to hold on and they
had to drop him. Only Delach reached

sanos OF worKingmen In Chicago today
are wearing Mckinley buttons, but
who declare privately that they will
vote for Bryan. These facts lead the
Democratic managers to believe and
assert tn at Chicago will give Bryan as
great a majority as 1t gave Cleveland
in 1899. when the majority for the Dem
ocratic ticket in Cook county vas 81
900. This year the conditions are even
more favorable. There is now COM
ylete fusion between the Populists and
Democrats The Populists cast 10000
votes in Chicago two years ago, and
there are at least $4,000 Republicans in
Chicago enrolled today in Bryan clubs.
No one places the detection Of gold
Democrats at above 10000. The Scan
dinavians are coming over to the Bry-
an standard by the thousands, while
there is a noticeable change in the
ranks of the German voters during the
past two weeks, and the probabilities
are that Mr.. Bryan will receive a very
large proportion of that vote. The Re-
publican managers are trying to di-
vert attention from Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, and Michigan, where their case
Is hopeless, to states like Nebraska and
Kansas, which they now claim are in
doubt and turning to Mckinley. Re-
ports receive at national Democratic
headquarters show that these claims
are entirely without foundation, and
are only manufactured for the purpose
of detracting the attention of the free
silver leaders to these states. AS
matter of fact the Democratic and free
silver polls show that both Kansas and
Nebraska will give Bryan maiorities of
not less than $4,000.
The Democratic national managers
are greatly encouraged over the result
of the elections in Florida and Georgia.
Returns from Florida show that the
Democrats have carried every county
in the state, and that the state has
gone Democratic by a majority of not
less than 10000, Notwithstanding that
there was no fusion of the Democrats
with any other party. Georgia gives
a Democratic majority of not less than
10000, this In the face of the fact that
the Populists and Republicans in
Georgia are fused. With a Democratic
majority today of 10000, it is safe TO
say that Bryan's majority in November
will be from $4,000 to $4,000
Chairman Jones and the national
Democratic managers feel greatly en-
couraged over the outlook, and conf
IDENTIFY assert that Bryan will be elected
by an overwhelming majority of the
electoral vote in November.
