p1ea TARIFF g. FREE SILVER.


Popocratic journals which try to
impute to sound money papers re-
sponsibility for the majority in Con-
gress for the passage of the odious
Dingley taril'bill have short mem
cries. They forget that it was the
popocratic platform adopted at
Chicago that made it impossible for
sterling democrats to support the
so called democratic nominee in OPP
position to McKinleyism. That
platform gave thoughtful persons
choice between McKinleyism and
ruin-hetween the Dingley bill on
the one hand and ohthe other silve-
basis, panic, vast disorder, loss,
stagnation of business and general
distress. 1t was the poor choice
between something bad and some
thing w5rse-the frying-pan and
the fire. Naturally, intelligent
democrats accepted the lesser evil,
hoping that defeat would dismount
the leaders who were riding the
democratic patty to destruction.
These leaders made free coinage the
first plank Of the st, Louis platform
putting tie tariffin the second place
iii fact; 4isfffrs ssifnAeg-it-EittA+ hAeesst
words: Until the money question is
settled we are opposed to any agita'
lion for future changes in oar tariff
laws
The Chicago platform proposed
in effect TO double the price Of
everything, for which reason il
was favored by number Of Penn
sylyania protectionists. 'Hither
prices was the cry-two silver
dollars in place Of one gold dollar
The Mckinley tariff rate was 80
per cent. The existing tariff rate
is abont 40 per cent. The propos
ed Diugley rate, is about 60 per
cent. High as the last is, it would
not enhance the price of goods to
the wage Garner as much as Bryan's
election would have done. Dingley
proposes to make an article worth
81 90 cost the consumer 81 60 but
free silver would have doubled the
cost Of the article and added the
present 40 per cent, making 1t
stand to him at 81 40 Bait Sun.

A Riot IN Huntington.

Huntington, w. Va. April A.
About II o'clock yesterday morn
ing trouble arose on Third avenue
between some political leaders IN
both the democratic and republi.
can sides as a result Of the late
city election. The scene which
followed was probably one of the
most exciting which was ever
witnessed in the history OF Hun
tlngton. Twenty minutes after the
lighting began more than a thous
and persons had congregated and
as a result a riot ensued aud the
police were utterly powerless in
preserving order.
The scene Of the lighting was
between Ninth and Tenth streets,
and so many persons we're engaged
that ii is almost impossible to giy-
names. Clubs, knives aud various
o her weapons were brought in o
use, aud 1t is a miracle that nun
Der of persons we're not killed. A
number OF persons we're injur ed,
but none seriously and 1t was a

The Civil Sertice Rules may be

WEYLER'S PLANS FAIL.

Hsyana; Cuba, April 3, (via

Weyler'S two weeks excursion to
Santa Clara has been utterly
without result from a military
point of view aud causes bitter
comment here.

cities. His meddliug with the
ClenfuegoS frauds at this time is
openly laughed at, and L. L1cha
prints some verses limiting that
the captain general has other
motives than the single desire for
reform.
One explanation which has been
suggested regarding his puzzllng
conduct is that falling to make

Weyler is more likely to cap

chief. Before the captain general
left Havana there was much talk
of a combined movement of the
columns to drive Gomez into
corner where he must fight or at
tempt to break through the trocha,
which was s i'd to be impossible.
But the muoh-l Wanted flying
columns were easily avoided by
Gomez without the necessity of

II was evident that ths handsome Wid-
ow's pretty daughter meant busipess when
she entered the Office Of the old bachelor.
She walked straight up to bis desk and
said In buslnesslike way that she wanted
few minutes private conversation with
him.
"Wlth pleasure" he replied, getting up,
closing the door and offering her chair.
"What is the nature Of your businesss"
"Well, she returned, with the business
like mir that the girl Of today seems to ac-
quire with the rest Of her education, "to
come right down to facts, I've noticed you

The old bachelor was startled.
"I-why, p he began.
ooh, suppose you think It's none OF

where you make your mistake. didn't
spend three years In boarding school for
nothing. know what I'm about, and
know that II am going to get married,
now Is tho haymaking time. as one might
say"
"But never had any thought off,

daughter, putting the finish to his sentence
in the form of an inquiry. well, should
hope not. II I couldn't do better than
that at my age, wouldn't be trying to
hurry things along. know who you're
after. You're after my mother--that Is,
you're after ber in an easy going half
hearted sort Of way, but you seem to for
hat In, Il ofr Ia
hurting my chances"
"Why, don't see''--
"ThAt's because you're bachelor and
never have he'd woman around to sharp
en up your wits. She's just young enough
and handsome enough, as widows 60, so
that she won't give me any kind Of a
chance as long Us she's In the field. She
apprepyiatss every body to herself, and !
just have to sit In the background and do
nothing while valuable time is slipping
away. Now, II you want her, 90 in and
get her and take her away, and II you
don't, say SO and stand aside, so that can
Pun In somebody with more gumption and
get her taken care Of In that way. 1t isn't
fair to me to tie things up this way, and
don't propose 10 standit. You can either
put on your hat now and 60 up to 500 her
or declare yourself out Of the running, for
I'm going to make chance for myself in
the>matrimon ial market, even If have to
tkidnap her and marry her to some one by
force TO do it,"
Without word the bachelor put OIL his
hat and went out. If he could do good
turn for the widow, tho daughter and him
self all at one time, he felt that he ought
not to delay action. And no didn't.-Chi-.
