The panic of 1898 came while the

previous March, was in full blast and
was getting ready to repeal the Nc.

that as a result of the Presidential aud

policy Of Protection was to be sup.

II have few corrections to make in

29th of Nov. instead of the 3lst, and was
caused by lantern exploding, but not
by filling it while it was burning. Mr..
Graham had been out doors with the Lam

table by the kitchen stove and was filling
the stove with wood at the time of the
explosion. As the lantern exploded he
threw it and struck a gallon can of crude
oil that he had to start the fires with and
had left standing by the stove, causing
that to explode and set his clothing on

room at the time and hastilye secured a

A revenue law which increases its

pect of continuing that increase for
several months at an equally apid rate
ought not to be embarrassed by sus

started in under the extremely EN-.

THERE is but little prospect of a
reconciliation between the gold-bug
and free silver factions of the
Democratic party, because the lat
ter persist that the former must
give up the principles for the sake
of which they revolted from the
Chicago platform. The bone of
contention between them is still,
which has the true right to be call
cd the Democratic party. With
the Bryanites it is by right of might
that they claim the appellation, the
gold bugs by right of principle and
established precedent. True party
faith cannot surrender its convic-
tions to party success, and for this
reason the gold Democrats propose
to adhere to the policy they adopted
when the bulk of the Democratic
party went over to the PopuIists.
No one can blame them. They
have been called traitors so often
that the thought of rejoining theil
traduccrs becomes more and moro
offensive and repugnant.
