scarcely tell the difference between the

combination of limestone and chalk,
which, chemically treated, can be
made of any shade desired. The Grti-

WHEREIN MORRILL, ERRS.

Ed Hoch, one of the cleanest Republicans
i'll the state, has this to say, i'll his paper, the
Marion Record, about Granny Morrill,:
'1'alk about an official having the right to
say what he peases about law, so he does
his dutyl' What tonfoolery! Imagine gen-
eral saying to his soldiers, Boys, that fort?
We are commanded to take it, but we never
can do it. Charge, boys charge!' Has
general the right to say fool thing like that'
Or, think of city marshal notifying the thugs
of the town that he hasn't sufficient force to
cope with them. Has he right to say that,
so he goes on doing his duty? Or, think of a
prosecuting attorney standing up before a jury,
denouncing law while pleading for verdict
under it. Has he the right to all idiotic thing
like that? The man who cannot see the differ
ence between the relative rights of private in
divduas and public officials in regard to what
these gentlemen are pleased to call Opinions
must be obtuse indeed! Oh, Liberty of Opir-
ion, what idiocy is contended for in thy 1ame!'

ANOTHER TILLMAN OUTBREAK.

The following Washington dispatch appeared
in the goldbug Kansas City Star of the 5th:
Strange as it may seem to the millions who
were disgusted by Senator Tilman's recent
speech, it has showed him into national noto-
riety equaled by few senators WHO have served
in the chamber more years than he has weeks.
His mail is larger than that of any other mem-
Der of congress. He has received over 1000
letters congratulating him or his speech
Nearly every letter asks for copy of that
speech, many of them containing money to
pay for the speeches, and applications are daily
received for special orders running up into the
thousands. To-day, T1man issued state
ment, from which the following is an extract:
"My uniform rule has been to treat criticisms
with silence. | break that rule for a pur-
pose, and that is to challenge those who have
found so much to condemn in my recent speech
in the senate to trial before the jury OF their
readers, i'll which l can have at least show of
Justice. If my language was unparliamentary
and indecent why did no senator call me to or
der? If the charges were untrue, why has no
senator answered them? And why do my
newspaper critics not even attempt to answer
them? What other senators have whispered
among themselves | have spoken aloud and in
plain words. What majority of the people
of the country have thought and felt, have
uttered. This is the sum and substance of my
offending, and the hireling editors and report
ers who now degrade the so-called freedom OF
the press to so despicable level may fatter
themselves that they create and control public
opinion, but thousands of letters that have
poured in OH me from every quarter of the
Union, mostly from the North, and from men
engaged in every pursuit of life, have given
me assurance that the scales are falling from
the eyes of the people.
eff it is to be the fate of this great republic
to sink to the level of Rome when the pretoran
guards were wont to put the emperorship up to
the highest bidder if congress is to become, or
remain, the cowardly tool and purchasable
agent of the wealthy; if the federal judiciary
are to undermine and destroy the constitution,
as foretold by Jefferson; if our liberties are to
be lost through supreme ignorance and venal-
ity, |, as sentinel on the watch tower, hold
ing sacred trust, cannot be charged with hav
ing assisted my country to its degradation by
giving a note Of warning"

THE NEW SILVER PARTY.

We have it. The Peoples party is new
party. 1t is silver party, too, and new sill
yer party. The old parties have been and are
silver parties-that is, silver-killing parties.
But the people are awakening to the great fact
that the free coinage of silver is an urgent ne
cessity if this nation, with all its industries is
to be otherwise than PROSTATE under the tyran-
ny of the gold dealers, and the people are rad
ically opposed to the idea that the government
must go out of the banking business, and are
rapidly reaching the determination that the
banks shall go out of the government business.
1t is becoming too evident that the banks not
only govern the government at Washington,
the president, congress and the supreme court,
but also all prices of commodities, that
what the aboring man and the farmer have to
sell is of no value, and what they have to buy
must be bought at relatively high price. All
these facts are becoming evident to the people
generally, and these ideas are dissoiving party
ties SO that the people are beginning to serious
ly ask themselves, (Which of the great parties
is the real friend of the people?" And they
propose to vote independently i'll degree they
never have done before. These and all things
in the political horizon indicate that the old
parties will be rent in twain over the silver
question: and that the friends of silver will
unite upon the candidate and platform that are
unequivocally for free silver, and no one can
doubt that the Peoples party is such party
1t is, indeed, the New Silver party, and will
receive the support of the combined silver
forces. The new silver party is in the arena
and ready for the fray.-Eureka Union.

IT looks as though the Prohibitionists and
the other reform elements in Kansas are about
to unite and undertake to put Ex-Governor
John P St. John i, the halls of congress. He
has put forth his platform, which embraces free
coinage of both gold and silver, abolition of
the present banking system, no more interest
bearing bonds, uniform rate of interest for gov
ernment and people, government control of
transportation, ETC., and the entire suppression
of the liquor traffic for beverages, and the need
ed manufacture and sale of alcoholics in the
hands of the government. He also declares
vigorously for the enforcement of law, and
making the state institutions free from partisan

see the greatest fight yet, for the plutocrats of
the nation will put all their forces against such
a leader and educator as is St. John.-The

Negroes Aroused Over the Action of a
 Band of Whites.
 Richmond, Va, Nov. 21.--News reaeh- ed the Dispatch from Scottsville, AAlber- marie county that two or three days ago a band of white men, some forty or fifty in number, arrested about six miles from that place, a negro who was sus- pected of burning the barn and stables of J. M. Jones, some six weeks sipce The negro was taken to the woods and hung up to the limbso of a tree in order to make him confess. At first he pro- tested entire innocence of any knowl- edge of the crime, but finally after the operation had been repeated two or three times, said that his brother was the guilty one. The next day the negroes of the county for several miles around arm- ed themselves with sytl1e blades, guns. pistols and knives, and threatened to kill all the whites in the neighborhood. A colored preacher from Charlottesville come down and persuaded them to de- sist, but it is said that excitement still runs high, and several white families have moved away. The whites remain- ing are prepared to resist any attack ing negroes.
 The action of the band of whites in terrorizing the negroes is deprecated by most of the whites of that section of the country

seeing that the carpets now on the floors of the ministry buildings would probably. not fetch $1,000 at auction, and, presuma- ply, he would also have some difficulty in persuading the average householder that $750 was a fair price to pay for a few brass studs used to ornament a minis- terial book case.
 In another department believed to be Signor Crispi's own foreign office, S1,- 00o,000 was spent in ten yepars in pur- chasing pins. The ordinary mind shrinks from the strain which would result from an effort to calculate the billions of pins that sum would buy in the open mar ket. There is a suspicious smack, too, about the manner of payments.
 Railway contractors were allowed to get into arrears. So far as the muddle accounts show there was plenty of money available for railway construction, but the accounts remained unpaid, apparent ly for no better reason than to entitle the contractors to interest, with the re- suit that in one year alone nearly a mill lion and half dollars was paid in in- terest.

 It is difficult tos characterize such lan- guage as this, especially when it comes from the month of the ambassador or the United states to the court of St. James. If it were spoken by any ordinary dlplo- mat it would be regarded as a delicious bit of irony and sarcasm, but there is room for no such suspicion. It was an absolutely. sincere utterance by Mir Bay ard in the course of another of his gentle, international, brotherly-love speeches delivered yesterday at Burnleigh. Not for a moment even in the height of last winters crisis has MT. Bayard abandoned the mission which he set for himsef when he came to London three and half years ago, namely. to bring the two countries into relations of close direction. Now, as the time of his return ap- breaches, he Is redoubling his efforts to establish such a union of English and American hearts as, will make dlplo- matic alliance between the two nations superfuolIs.

Why it IS bsnev- ed to be impossible is made pretty clear even by the comments of the newspapers today, which eulogise him most highly. They applaud him at the expense of the administration which he represents.
