Attempt to AsSaSSiDate
President Diaz
Of Mexico.
immense Excitement in
the City.

There was an unsuccessful attempt
made to assassihate President Diaz in
the City of Mexico, about ten o'clock
Thursday morning, the 10Th instant.
The President was cut riding in his
carriage, when the would-bs assassin
suddenly sprang upon the steps Of ths
vehicle and attempted stab him with q
stilletto, favorite weapon with REX
ioan. The assassin was arrested and
imprisoned. The police are very reti-
cent about the affair, suppressing the
name of the murderer, if they know it.
1t is supposed the person who made the
attempt is the tool of q band Of con-
spirators, and that there are men Of
prominence and influence engaged in
it, who want Djaz out of the way that
they may assume the reins Of govern
ment. Some startling Developments
are anticipated.

Which Horn of the Dilemma.

Almost every gold paper in TIE coun-
try is chuekliug with delight over the
recent discoveries of gold in the Klon-
dixie region, declaring "that it will ef-
fectually kia the silver craze" The
"silver craze" has been killed SO often
that we are very skeptical this time.
Still we will trouble ourselves enough
to ask how the killing process is to
take place. The answer is, of course,
that it will furnish SO much gold that
the argument Of its insufieieIey viii
lose all its force.
AS usual, the gold men fail to see
that their argument (?) works both
ways and literally cuts the ground from
under their own feet. They have in
sisted stubbornly, doggedly, that there
was already plenty Of gold, and that
the claim of its scarcity was false.
Now, it we already had golden ough
it necessarily follows that an immense
production of new gold in the Klon-
dixie will give US too much, and we are
little curious to know just what they
propose to do about it.
How they will save the people from
the awful consequences OF having too
much money!
Again, if an enormous production OF
gold kills the ''silver craze" it can only
be by making gold so abundant that It
will be "cbeap." Unless it becomes
cheaper-that is, unless it raises prices,
it will not relieve the situation at all.
1t will have no effect whatever.
But they tell US that cheap money
is not only dishonest" but in the high
lest degree injurious. 50 we are at a
loss to see why they should be in the
seventh heaven of happiness over the
great gold discoveries which they as
sumo to have been made. They evi
IDENTIFY do not realize the extent of their
peril. If they can only escape the hor-
rors Of ''cheap silver by falling into
the diabolical arms Of "cheap gold" il
appears TO be with them) veritable
case Of "King Log and King Stork."

deed, ,sad.-Bimetalist

Some Of the political organs Of the
country are sneering at Bryan because
he did what no could to alleviate the
suffering Of the MANNED and wounded
in the railroad collision near Emporia,
claiming that his motive was more to
gain cheap notoriety than to relieve
suffering. One would suppose that
metropolitan journals, which are sup
posed to employ writer's Of frst-class
ability, would be above STOPPING to
such contemplate littleness. The peo-
ple-the common people-are sutfi-
ciently intelligent to draw comparisons.
They read the utteranees Of VIM. J.
Bryan, and find therein nothing but
the noblest sentiments, entirely free
from personalities or dirty insinuations.
They also read the scurfilous para
graphs uttered by the metropolitan
press against this same man, and in
their own minds compare the two. No
one can doub5 which is the gamer oy
the comparison, when the we'll known
instinct of the average American for
fair play is taken into consideration.

The railroad discriminating section
of the Dingley tariff bill, known as

to the revenue department of the gov

A Boston paper sent inquiries to Con-

how the clause slipred into the bill.
Representative Cochran, answering the
question, says: "The Dingley bill was
not considered in the House It was
passed without consideration. Section
22, like the other sections, was swallow
ed by the rennh nhlicans without inquiry
and rammed down the tbroats OF the
opposition by Speaker Reeds Commit
