THE WALCOrT FIASCO.

1t was never intended, as the Register
has frequently pointed out, that the
Bimetallic Commission appointed by
Mr.. Mckinley should come to any
agreement on the question of interna-
tional bimetallism, for every tolerably
we'll informed person knew that Eng
land would never consent to bimetal
lism in any shape. The Commission
was intended as political dodge to
keep Republican bimetallists within
the party at least until the coming
elections by holding out the false prom
Use of international bimetallism. But
this trick, to which even the Bank Of
England managers lent themselves for a
time by promising under certain con-
ditions" to keep one-fifth of their re-
serve in silver-which they never in
tended to do under any conditions-has
failed Of its object by premature ex-
posture. 1t was intended to drag the
commissions labors over the time for
the next elections. still holding out the
false hope of international bimetallism.
The blunt Britishers, however, knocked
the whole thing in the head. The Lon
don Times, the governors Of the Bank
of England and Lord Salisbury simply
politely kicked the Commission out.
The situation is stated with frankness
by one London paper, which says the
single gold standard should rule, as
''that is our interest, both as producers
and lenders of gold. We are not going
to throw it away in order to put money
into the pockets of Colorado mine own
ers, or to help Mr.. Mckinley out OF
| electioneering difficulties" That is the
case exactly. The selfish interest OF
Great Britain as gold producing and
money lending power is to make gold
dear and to continue increasing its
scarcity in comparison with the de-
mands for it. The more England lends
the greater the scramble for gold with
which to pay the debts and interest az
they fall due. Az Great Britain is ths
greatest producer Of gold. the gfsa8sI

the demand there Is for the metal with
which to pay debts the more commodi-
ties produced by other nations will have
to be given for stated amount. AS
the demand for gold increases faster
than the supply from rne mines, the
gold producing and lending nation gets
richer and richer at the expense Of the
producers of commodities. The single
gold standard is, a nice thing for the
capitalists and money lenders of Great
Britain, and they do not like to lose a
nice thing. AS they control the news
papers of London and the government
itself, it might have been expected that
the attempt to reopen the coinage ques-
ton would be strongly resisted.
What is for the interest of Great Brit
ain as a gold producing and creditor
nation is not the best policy for the Uni
ted States as gold and silver produc-
ing and debtor nation. The single gold
standard is selfish English policy.
Bimetallism is an American policy. II
1t is selfish policy, which we deny,
We prefer American selfishness to Eng
lish selfishness. Why should English
interests be preferred by Americans to
American interests?

TOOTHACHE
Resulted Indirectly in a Fire Which
Burned Three People to Death, and
Caused Injury to Seven Others.

Oil City, Pa, October 24.-Three per-
sons were burned to death and seven
more were severely injured in a fire
that destroyed the Hotel Brooklyn at
Kellettsville, twenty-five miles south
east of Oil City, on Sunday morning
at an early hour. The building was a
three-story one, roughly built of double
boards and burned like finder. At two
o'clock this morning when the fire was
first discovered there were seventeen
persons asleep in the hotel. At that
time the fire, which had originated in
the second floor of the building, shut off
all retreat from the rooms on the floors
above. Six men on the second floor
and five on the third saved themselves
by jumping from the windows to the
ground below, but there was none of
these who escaped without severe burns
or hurts.
Those killed are:
Professor Tucker, aged about 65
years, who travelled about the country
giving stereopticon exhibits, and is
supposed to have come from SewickIey
near Pittsburg.
Andrew Salsgiver, of Kellettville,
aged 10 years.
Injured:
Miss Emma Kisner, teacher in the
ID about the face and b6S83y badly 5RGpEa
verely injured by jumping from the
second story of the hotel that she may
die.
What remained of the bodies Of Tuck
er and Salsgiver were gathered together
and were not enough to fill an ordinary
cigar box.
The fire is supposed to have origina-
ted by Professor Tucker knocking over
toothache and used the lamp for max
ing hot applications.

lack OF accommodations now offered
by the B. & 0. to its patrons arriving
at and leaving this city are miserable
enough in the best of weather What
they will be in the chill and snow and
slush of winter can easily be conjec-
tured
The B. & o. has pursued an unwise
policy in this matter. 1t has erected
new passenger stations at small towns
and stations along its line for which
there was no pressing necessity, while
it has allowed Wheeling, one of it's
principal termini, to get along as best
it could with mere shed out on its
tracks, accommodations that would
disgrace the smallest station on it's
route.
This is not policy that will make
the road friends in this city, nor is it
calculated to increase its passenger
traffic.

The man was placed on train and
taken to Peekskill, but died on the way.
The body was that of middle-aged
man.
Five men were rescued from the
top of floating cara few minutes af-
ter the accident. They were put on a
train and taken too Peekskill They
were admitted to the Helping Hand
Hospital, where their wounds were
dressed. OF the five three were Chi
namen and none were fatally injured.
w. S. Langford, of Bayonne, N. j.,
was in one of the last coaches which
remained on the track. He secured an
axe and, chopping out panel of one
OF the partly submerged cars, he help
ed to rescue four people.
A special engine brought Division
superintendent Mccoy and Trainmas-
tiers Wickes and Slack from Tarrytown
and almost simultaneously a wrecking
train arrived from PeekskilI and an
other from PoughKeepsie.
The officials saw at once that the
wrecking cars would be of little avail
In raising the cars from their posi-
lions in the river, where they were al
most completely submerged, so the
Chapman Wrecking Company, Of
New York, was notified to send river
derrick and floats to raise the cars.
The American Express Company
had number of its agents at the
scene early in the day, but they were
powerless to do anything, as no at
tempt was made to raise their car. 1t
was said that this car contained thou
sands of dollars worth of valuables,
but the officials said that all would be
recovered, as the valuables were in a
stationary safe attached to the car.
When the derrick and hosting en-
CINE raised the combination car to such
a position that the windows were clear
OF the water, the body of man came
out of window. 1t was the first life
less form of any of the passengers to
be rescued. The searchers were only
able to find eight Cinnamon and they
were also carried to the morgue car.
They were laid in a row, numbered, and
were ready for Identification.
The derrick next pulled the day coach
to the shore and the searching parties
were able to reach it. Although it is

sons in the coach, but six bodies were
recovered. Two of these were women.
They were all placed side by side. The
last body was recovered at 5:45.
On the body of w. H. Myers, of Ire
mont, N. Y, SIS in money was found.
in his vest pocket was a handsome
openfaced watch. The searcher chanc-
ed to look at it and found that the
hands pointed to $40. The watch
stopped at the minute of the accident.
The Chinese boarded the train at
Malone, N. Y. There were fourteen in
the party, three of whom are missing.
From the time the bodies were taken
from the Inflated cars, thousands of
morbidly curious persons assembled
about the improvised morgue.
With two exceptions the eyes Of all
the dead were tightly closed. At 8
p. m. the coroner gave orders for the
removal of the bodies to undertaking
rooms at Cold Springs, where they will
be embalmed and held a day for iden-

RENEGADE JOURNALS.

The shake-up Of the last campaign
has had more than one good effect on
the Democracy it has served, among
other things, to segregate the good
and the bad in the party and to
separate the false from the true Demo-
Gratis. 1t has placed the searchlight
on several newspapers that have been
working under the cloak of Democ-
racy, and has shown them up as agents
OF the money kings and the monopo-
lists. Among these papers are the
Baltimore Sun and the Louisville
Courier-Journal. The Democratic par
ty in Maryland and Kentucky has no
more malicious, treacherous and dead
ly foes than these two Republicanized
sheets, which still claim to be Demo-
cratic, although doing all in their
power to defeat and break up the
Democratic party.
The Baltimore Sun claimed to be
acting from desire to purify" the
Democracy of Maryland from the
leadership Of Senator German But
when Mr.. German took the Sun at its
word and declared that he would re-
sign from the Democratic leadership
If the Sun would espouse the cause of
true Democracy, that hypocritical
sheet that is sailing under Democratic
colors, was compelled to remove it's
mask and own that it would not sup
port the Democratic party even should
Senator German resign it's leadership.
And to-day the Sun is supporting
party boss who is more dictatorial
and corrupt that Mr.. Germans worst
enemies ever accused him of being.
namely, Wellington The mask has
been stripped from the Baltimore Sun
and Democrats now see that Republi-
canized sheet in it's true light as the
servant of monopoly and the money
power.
In Kentucky we find a precisely par
allel case in that of the Courier-Jour
nal. Mark Hanna and the gold ring
haven't stronger ally anywhere than
the CONFECTIONERY, which pretends
to be the only exponent of true De-
mocracy in the State. In the last
campaign it did everything in it's
power to defeat the Democratic ticket
and elect Mckinley and a Republican
Congress, and now it is doing every
thing it can to defeat the Kentucky
State Democracy and to elect the Re-
publican ticket. 1t is venomous in it's
false and bitter attacks on Democ-
racy, and is leaving nothing undone
to help the plutocrats in their efforts
to fasten the single gold standard ir-
revocably upon this country.
Out upon such false, sneaking
sheets! They have not the honesty of
the New York Sun to come out openly
for Republicanism. That would at
once remove their power to stab the
Democratic party in the back They
can best serve the gold ring and the
monopolists by sailing under false
colors and playing the hypocrite and
the snake-in- the-grass.

INSANITY
Caused a Prominent Farmer to Muir
der His Wife and Then Commit
Suicide.

Oil City, Pa, October 24.-Trade
Farren, aged so years, one of the best
known farmers in this section, and a
lifelong resident of the oil regions,
murdered his wife and made an I'm
successful attempt at suicide Saturday
night. The scene of the tragedy was
the small farm of the murderer, about
twelve miles south of this city, and
news did not reach here until this
morning, when Farran was brought to
the Oil City hospital for treatment.
Farran was found by a neighbor on
Saturday night with the greater por-
ton Of his lower jaw and all of his
nose shot away. In pantomime he de-
scribed the shooting of his wife. He
had first knocked her down with the
butt of the gun, and before she could
rise had fired charge from heavily
loaded double-barrel shotgun into her
left breast, causing instant death He
then attempted to fire the remaining
load into his own neck, but the cap
snapped and did not explode. He re-
loaded the weapon, stepped out into
his dooryard, placed the muzzle of
the gun beneath his chin and pulled
the trigger with his toe. He was
naked when found. He may recover
1t is supposed that Farron was insane.
THE HEIR is FOUND.
