Acknowledging the Truth.


papers, such for instance as the
Louisville journal, which
pretend to believe that what they
are pleased to call the "silver
craze is waning, less hippant OBJ
servers see in recent events and in
the feeling which expresses itself
whenever occasion offers, that so far
from decreasing opinion favorable
to silver restoration is growing
steadily and increasing in conf
dence every day.
Referring to the present condi-
tions in New York the sun of that
city said on Wednesday:
"At meeting of the "Young
Democracy" last week in this city
the Hon. Francis NJ. Bixby de-
clared that 1--WE don't intend to let
the 5000 gold Democrats in New
York dictate to the 1876 900 Demo
Gratis who voted for free silver last
fall Senator Bixby was referring
to the coming municipal campaign
and presumably, to the proposition
that Tammany Hail should nomi-
nate gold Democrat, Governor
Flower, for instance, for Mayor of
the Greater New York.
At the same meeting the Hon.
Charles A. Towne, of Minnesota,
one of the most eloquent of Bryan
ite orators, declared that the free
coinage of silver "mast be the dom
inant issue in every large city and
state clection;" and his words were
received with much applause. The
Chicago campaign according to Mr..
Towne, "was waged on the money
issue"
At the meeting of the "Pro-
gressive Democratic League" last
Sunday, the purpose of the organ
izatiJn was explained to be ''to keep
Tammany in line for the Chicago
platform and for free silver candi-
dates" A resolution was adopted, !,
congratulating the Chicago Demo-
cracy on the result of the recent
municipal election, and the speakers
supporting it designated Mr.. Carter
Harrison as "a representative Bryan
man., - which undoubtedly he is.
These meetings, 1t seems, are the
beginning of vigorous and con-
tinuous campaign in behalf of
Organism, which is to be conducted
in the Greater New York from this
time forth.
The celebration of Jefferson's
birthday yesterday brought other
of Bryanite sentiment
which are likely to produce anxiety
among the politicians, both Demo
cratic and Republican, who are try
ing to prevent Organism from be-
coming the dominant issue of the
campaign which, appar-
emily. it is sure to be. No matter
how painful the efforts the prospect
Of displacing it with any other seems
to be hopeless. !"
This admission, by SO determined
an advocate Of the single gold stand
ard, is one of the most significant
evidences of existing feeling that we
have seen. Every word here utter
ed is wrung from a heart which Isl
full of bitter hatred for William J. y
Bryan and everything which his
name implies. Yet the circum-
stances are such that as truthful
of events it is bound TO
admit that the free coinage senti-
ment is at this moment uplermost

In town not far from Chicago
lives an elderly single lady, who
may be called Miss A.. She il
celebrated among the towns-people
for her devotion to church work and
for the magnificent ice cream which
she serves when she entertains al
the edge of the village. Her fain,
voice is another characteristic.
Not long ago there was revival
in the place. When a general re-
quest for prayers was made Miss
A started in. Her low voice
would scarcely be heard by those
nearest her, but it was generally un-
derstood that she was invoking the
deity and silence was preserved.
Presently, however, sister in
part of the church, thinking
that she had finished, also started
to pray. The two went on placid
|y for a time, until the voice of the
second rose loud and triumphant
and drowned out the other sounds.
Mss A stopped. She was
silent for moment; then she rose
with flashing eyes.
"Oh, Lord! !" she said in a voic e

have good luck they will not have a thing
to do on the return trip but act pleasant and

will decide everything.

pose of making Inatehes-the kind usually
made in Heaven, not those with sulphur on
one end. All unmarried men, without regard
for previous condition of servitude, are in
vited and it is to be their own fault if they
do not pick up some coy young thing who IS

for her.

Hon. Mike Healy, of Fort Dodge, pre-
sided over the meeting. Mr.. Bryan was
given an ovation. He said the silver
question was the great issue of this
campaign in Ohio and Iowa and he
ridiculed the monetary commission
sent out by Mckinley and said other
nations would do nothing unless scar
ed into it by the gains made by the
silver party this fall. He also said that
the present system of national taxa
ton was unjust and favored the re-
moval of all international revenue
taxes and tariff taxes and the SUBJ
stitution of the income tax He said
the income tax had been constitutional
for hundred years and had been so
until judge changed his mind. He
also said that as far as he could learn,
affairs in Iowa were in such bad shape
that any change would be for the bet
ter.
Mr.. Towne spoke entirely on the
money question. He said that if we
had now had free silver, wheat would
be selling for two dollars and a half
per bushel. People came from all West
ern Iowa and the crowd was immense
and very enthusiastic.

Only Twelve Killed by the Sunshine
Mine Explosion.

Mine ENpIOSIOH.
GREENWOOD SPRINGS, Col, Sept.
Mo additional bodies have been re-
covered from the Sunshine mine, where
twelve men were killed last night by
an explosion, The men were prepar-
ing to leave the mine on the day shirt
when the disaster occurred. A shot
had been fired. and instead of its being
a direct explosion it was what in min
ers' parIance is called a blowout,
that is, the powder created flame
which shot backward and caught the
dust that had accumulated In the
chamber, instead of dislodging the
seam Of coal intended. AT the time
of the explosion there was barrel of
glInpovder in the chamber which
ignited and aided the disaster which
Would have occurred through the coal
dust explosion alone. The Sunshine,
where the disaster occurred, Is a pecu-
liar coal, a combination OF anthracite
and bitumen, and there is belief that
the gathering of the coal dust in the
chamber was due to excessive eXhaus-
tion caused by a desire to empty the
chamber too quickly. In the whole
property there are fifty to fifty-fiye
men employed The single chamber
where the men were killed was the
only one damaged. Two hours after
the explosion occurred the bodies of
the dead men were all brought to the
surface.
AS the bodies lay, the faces covered
with the black dust and their hair
burned away, they were practically
unrecognizable. The force of the ex,
plosion had completely crushed each
bone in the twelve bodies, so that the
remains were merely a shapeless mass
of flesh and bone, and as easily rolled
into a knot as though composed OF
warn. Three of the dead miners, Louis
and John Audvetta and John Jonini,
leave families.
This mine is the Oldest of the Spring
Gulch group. Two entries below the
