The New York World GIessian) is con- tinually affirming that the free coinage of silver would put the United States on a silver basis. With equal truth and per- sistency it also declares that no one else

Why, then.< do these banks and bankers all oppose the free coinage of silver and raise large corruption funds to defeat it? Who believes or can be- lieve that they would refuse a present of $5,000, 900, or any one of them his share of it? They are not cattle of that brand or stripe. They do not believe either of the Worlds falsehoods. The World itself believes neither of them, and in publishing such things is simply attempting to deceive and mislead the ignorant, who are not half as numerous a it imagines. The free coinage of silver is about as likely to put this country on a silver basis as the banks and bankers are to fight and brfbe in order to escape present of $5,000,000.000, and that is much less likely than that all Ara bla s camels should go at full trot abreast through the eye of cambric needle.

The republican and boiling goldbug papers appear to extract great consola- tion from the declaration of Tom Watson to the effect that he will under no con- sideratlon withdraw from the race for vice president These papers lose sight of the fact that the people are in no humor to be trified with. It matters not how MT. Watson or any other aspiring individual may feel about matters and things, the people who favor the restora- tion of silver to it's constitutional rights at the hints are going to see to it that their votes are not thrown away in the coming contest.

August is the date set for the demo- cratic state convention in Alabama, and democratic convention in Alabama un- der existing political conditions will be a very interesting event. Vermont comes first with a state election on September 1, and elections will be held in Arkansas on September and in Maine on Septem- Der IA, and in each of these states the re- suit will be awaited with unusual inter est.''
 The above paragraph from the New York World will be, no doubt, surprising news to the voters of Alabama, at least so far as it relates to the holding of a democratic state convention on next Monday. It has been thought that that important matter had been attended to several weeks ago; and the people have been acting upon that conviction. The Worlds apparent want of information concerning current political events is on- ly surpassed by it's real ignorance of the financial question, as is daily displayed in it's editorial columns.

when the announcement was made that
a complaint was made to a justice for
the issuance of a warrant for the ar
rest of Edward G. Durant, formerly one
of the most prominent and influential
citizens of this city, now of Los Angeles,
Cal. The complainant is Frederick j..
Hendrichsen, receiver for the Hen
drichsen Manufacturing company. The
charge is the embezzlement of $4,000, al
legged to have been taken i'll February,
1891. when Durant was treasurer OF the
company.
The factory was burned to the ground
some years ago and later Mr.. Hendrich-
sen was appointed receiver of the con-
Germ. He made an effort to secure Il
settlement with Durant. but in this he
was unsuccessful and he then sued him
for an accounting. The matter came up in
court and judgment was rendered against
the defendant The court ordered Du-
rant to pay over S4465 with costs to the
receiver. All efforts to secure the
money or any kind of q settlement
failed and the issuance of the warrant
today is the result.
Mr.. Durant was we'll known in tenn
perance and church circles and few
years ago was candidate for governor
on the Prohibition ticket. He came from
kenosha, where he was formerly en-
gagged in business at that place.
