OVEROONE TT,

The letter of Prince Bismarck to Gov ernor Culberson of Texas was a bomb shell in the camps of the Mckinley sup porters and sympathisers. It has had a telling effect in the campaign, and will evidently result in the loss of many thousand votes to Mckinley
 Like the editorial article which appear ed in the London Financial News several months ago, it was complete knock out. Being unanswerable it had to be denied. No better agency for that kind of work could possibly be secured than the New York World. Being thoroughly familiar with all the details necessary to the manufacture of news, both local and foreign, 1t only required a wink from Hanna and one night for the World to come forth with new translation of the letter. The translation as published by the World is so foreign to that read by Governor Culberson that it gives the whole story away. It was possible that in translating the letter a slight error might have occurred, but 1t is not at all probable that Governor Culberson re- ceiVed a letter from Prince Bismarck and translated or had it translated into an en- tirely different meaning, as well as word- ing. The truth is the World overdone the thing. On the morning after the let ter to Governor Culberson appeared in the public prints it's contents were cabled across the Atlantic and a. representative of the Associated Press called on Prince Bismarck, showed him the letter as read by the Texas governor and he promptly confirmed it. All these facts are in pos session of the papers that are seeking to saddle forgery on the governor of Tex as, but what does the goldbug press care for facts.

WHAT NEXTP

MT. BryanS slanderers do not seem to make much headway. Thurston tried it, when he repeated the stale falsehood of a that MT. Bryan had been hired to make speeches for free coinage by silver mine owners This and the other tale that he had been attorney for some railroad cor poration. were both silenced by Mir Bry- ans offer to publish detailed statement of his income and it's sources. The next mud-slinging enterprise took the shape of an assertion that Mr. Bryan voted for Weaver, and not for Cleveland in 1892 It appears that he did vote for Weaver to defeat Harrison and to elect Cleveland and this he did, as thousands of other good democrats did, under the inspira- tion of MT. Harrty and the national dem- ocratic executive committee; and had all democrats in Nebraska voted as did Mr. Bryan, Harrison would have received eight less electoral votes. The last effort of this sort is credited to Governor OFer- rall, the Virginia apostate, who attempt ed more by nsinuation than direct asser- ton, to damage Mir Bryan, by holding out, that in 1893 MT. Bryan agreed to make speeches in Virginia for OFerralls populst opponent. This is fatly con tradicted, not only by MT. Bryan, but by the chairman of the populist executive committee. who says he will swear that MT. Bryan, on being asked to do so, re- fused positively to do anything of the kind Who will invent the next luckless Iie9

JOHN G. CARLISLE

According to my view of the sub- ject. the conspiracy which seems to have been formed here and in Europe to destroy by legislation and other wise from three-seVenths to one-half of the metallic money of the world. is the most gigantic crime of this or any other age. The consummation of such a scheme would ultimately entail more misery upon the human race than all the wars, pestilence and fam inc that ever occurred in the history of the world. The absolute and jn- stantaneous destruction of half tho movable property of the world, in cluding horses. ships railroads and all other appliances for carrying on com merce. while 1t would be felt more scnsibly at the moment, would not produce anything like the prolonged distress and disorganization of socie- ty that must inevitably result from the permanent annihilation of one half of the metallic money of the world."--J. c. Carlisle, in house of representatives 1878.

wHrTED SEPULCHREs.

That clerical bum, Parkhurst who has lately had money and time to spare for running about over Europe, has now come back and at once set himself to work to regain the unsaVory notoriety he enjoyed some years ago, by blackguard- ing better men and citizens than himself. Here is how he first emptied himself for the edification of the snobs and upstarts who pay his salary.
 "The business of the nation Is done on credit Credit is based on mutual confi- dence Mutual confidence does not exist today, and attempts are being made, de- liberate and hot-blooded, to destroy what little of it remains. I dare in Gods pulpit to brand such attempts as accursed and reasonable"
 Of course his reference is to MT. Bryan and the democratic party
 If this is fair sample of Parkhurst's chatter, nothing is more certain than that God never had anything to do with, nor any interest in his pulpit, nor did He ever give him any commission to preach or teach. The divine command runs thus: "Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things what soever have commanded you; and To- am with you always, even unto the end of the world"
 The only commission which Parkhurst and many other pretenders and hirelings like him have ever had to "brand" or "curse" anything or anybody, has come either from the devil, or Mark Hanna's corruption fund; and in his and many other cases of the kind, 1t is evidently de- rived from both of them. They are hardly as good as the trusts, which have been aptly described as religious at one end and murderous at the other" They are
 bad from end to end, all the way, and all the time.

JOHN J. INGALLs ON GOLD.

"No people, in a great emergency, ever found a faithful ally in gold. It is the most cowardly and treacherous of all metals. It makes no treaty that it does not break, 1t has no friend it does not betray. Armies and na- Vies are not maintained by gold. In times of panic and calamity, ship wreck and disaster, it becomes the agency and minister of ruin. No na- ton ever fought a great war by the aid of gold. On the contrary in the crisis of the great peril it becomes an enemy more potent than the foe in the field but when the battle has been won and peace secured, gold reappears and claims the fruits of victory"

ALABAMA TO BE TACKLED.

"The Chicago Tribune, the leading re- publican paper in the west, has this New York special
 "The republican national committee has completed plans for the capture of ten southern states. All the resources of the committee will be devoted to this end in the belief that they can be carried for sound money and protection.
 " Six states have already been confi- dently claimed for McKinley-viz.: Ken lucky, Virginia, West Virginia Mary land, Delaware and North Carolina. The four to be added are Tennessee, Alabama Louisiana and Texas.
 "'Senator Quay and J. IT. Manley have planned the invasion of the south, sum moning leading republicans from these states to meet them here
 This means more trouble for the Bryanites in Alabama. General Shelley will meet his match when he tackles Quay. Another conference should be called, and the rejected fusion plan of Senator Jones pushed through. Alabama is going to be lively fighting ground in the next month. h."-Montgomery McKn- ley Organ.
 For several days the Montgomery Me- Kinley organ has been trying to impress the idea that there is bare possibility for the republicans to carry Alabama Of course it is plain that the Advertisers purpose is to have more of Hanna's boo dle turned aloose in Alabama, but Hanna knows the seishness of his Alabama newspaper representative and will not be fool enough to pour more than enough of water on the ducks back to entice him into the pond. He has the Advertiser al- ready on his string and Is only fishing with a decoy hook of promises to catch other suckers

The goldbug papers say that it is curi- oslty that causes the people to turn out in such great numbers to hear Mir. Bryan speak, but those papers have not as yet discovered what it is that makes these crowds of curious people cheer them selves hoarse while the candidate speaks. If they have discovered the reason they have not as yet announced it. What diff ference does 1t make whether a voter goes out to hear Bryan speak from curiosity or not, just so he goes away from the speaking whooping for the candidate and his platform?

Says the New York World: ."Less than 100 men own. or control the silver product of the United States. Its com- mercial value last year was S36. 445, ,000, and under free silver coinage they would have made private profit of exactly $35 ,6060 0OO" Now, will some goldbug kindly inform us where the 50 cent dollar under free silver coinage would have come in if the Worlds estimate of the mine owners private profit is correct. We will alsobe obliged if some goldbug will kindly tell us where the flood of sil- yer is to come from. With an output at present prices of SS6,445,O0O, under free coinage it would have equaled SIP 051, ,000, less than S1 per capita. Would coinage law that would add less than $1 per cap- ita yearly to our circulation likely flood us with money?

WALKED IN AND GOT IT.
How Preacher, Sentenced to the Peniten.
 tiary, Was Pardoned.

Frankfort, Ky, Sept. 29.-Rev. J. w. Coombs, a Baptist minister of Perry county, was convicted some time ago of perjury and sentenced to the peniten- tiary for one year. Yesterday he came into Frankfort without guard and asked Acting Governor Worthingson for a. par don, explaining that he was the victim of feud that has existed in the counties of Harlan and Perry for years. The act ing governor examined the letters from the officials of the trial court and prompt ly pardoned MT. Coombs. Had the gov ernor not pardoned him the reverend gen. |. tleman says he would have returned to the penitentiary and placed himself in charge of the warden.

The democracy of New York state is now ready for the fray. The state execu- tive committee of the party has supplied the vacancy on the committee caused by Mr. Thacher declining the nomination for governor. MT. Porter who had been chosen by the convention as the party's candidate for ieutenant-governor, was chosen by the committee as the party's candidate for governor. MT. Porter is for Bryan and Sewan and free coinage.

MT. Watson writes the New York World letter in which he takes the po- sltion that where fusion has been per fected between the democrats and popu- lites the masses of the populite voters are displeased, and will probably remain away from the polls on election day. Just think of an honest populite, who neither wants nor expects office, but wants more for his cotton than it costs him to raise it, remaining away from the polls and In that way helping the gold standard win simply because the democrats failed to rise up and demand that MT. Sewall re- tire and Tom Watson be given his place on the ticket! If Mr Watson really thinks the rank and file of the populite party feel that way he knows as little of the sentiment of his people as he does of his own unpopularity.
