KEEPING UP THEIR RECORD,

A four line article in the So
called forth whole page of editoria
in Sundays Register" and tina
after several days of consideration
anu detection. True to its reputa
ton it publishes a lot of stuff that
although given as facts, are who'll,
untrue. The manager OF the Greg
lister" is no doubt ashamed Of th,
company he was in, and we'll he may
be, as large number of others have
since made the same confession. II
is hard to defend a secret political
organization and it is wise for the
Register" to call the ticket OF two
years ago Democratic, but the facts
OF the case are too fresh IN the minds
of the people for them to be misled,
especially by such a misleading organ
as the Register" has gotten TO be.
The article on its face is its own ac-
cuser as we will show.
The idea of expecting the Repub-
lican party to ask the Democrats
what action they were going to take
before taking action themselves is too
preposterous to need comment. The
meeting held at the city hall was not
regularly called or published, hence
was simply a mass meeting OF ciu-
zens, and in fact ought not to have
been put under the Democratic de-
vice, but it is easy to get Clerk Graz
ham to decide according to the wishes
OF the Democrats as has been shown
on several occasions, for he invariably
construes the law ihis way. 1t is a
we'll known fact that the meeting was
controlled by j. Howard Carpenter
and bis A. p. A. followers, as
is evidenced by the fact
Of the ticket having been evenly di-
vided with the A. p. AS. II the |
latter had deemed it good politics,
they would have named the whole
ticket, as they had a majority of the
meeting. The conglomerate ticket
thus selected was so obnoxious that
he better element of the Democratic ;
party rose up aud repudiated it by
'uch overwhelming majorities, elect. l

Silver and wheat have parted com
pany lately in way which will spoil
many of the arguments in the tons Of
pamphlets and books now being circu-
lated by the silverites. Instead Of tag
ging around after each other and al
ways keeping near together they have
broken apart and are so widely separat-
ed that they have lost sight Of each
other. While silver has gone down 10
cents per ounce since July l, 1895,
wheat has gone up over 90 cents per
bushel. The silvorites will have TO de-
modify their arguments.

WITH Mexican dollars only wort

WITH Mexican dollars only worth
40 cents as compared with American
money, which is upon a gold basis,
the Mexican workingman is having a
hard time. The report made from
the Trade and Labor Assembly Il
Chicago, last fall, shows that the
worl<ingmen got but about one-Lalf as
much per day in Mexico In the silver
Coin Of the country as the working
men OF lhe United States got in our
currency upon the gold basis. When
IL Is remembered that the dollar in
which these people are paid is now
worth only 40 cents as compared
with our own 100-cent dollar, their
condition will be seen to be deplora-
be.

THE truth is, says the Kansas City
Journal, that the farmers of the west
are fast losing their interest in silver as
an issue. They voted for free coinage
because they were persuaded that il was
the only road TO prosperity. They want
ed it simply as n means 10 an end As
they are rapidly attaining the end, they
don't care anything further about

Silver Not In IL.

The fall Of silver TO the very bottom
will not stop the fiat money movement,
but it will bring back many an honest
believer in sound money who was led
by specious pleas TO believe that II was
possible for the United States not only
to arrest the fall Of silver, bat TO double
its value by coming the white metal
free and in unlimited quantities. The
real fight is between sound money and
nat money. Silver will be in 1t but a
little while longer. Macon telegram

silver and Rain.

Professor Francis L. Nipher has just
discovered another one Of the many evil
effects due TO that avtul "orime OF
49," He finds that the rainfall at
Monticello, Jones county, Ia, dimin-
ishod from 90 inches in 1873 70 IS
inches in 1898 IL is remarkable that
tho heavy drop from 81 inches in 1892
to IS inches in 1895 corresponds to the
heavy fall in the price Of silver Do
not these facts demonstrate clearly the
intimate connection between silver and
rain? Is there farmer in America SO
blind that he cannot see this connec-
tion? Every rational man knows that
the Shylooks who perpetrated the crime
of '78" will continue 10 depress and
degrade silver until not only Iowa, but
the whole Of America, is a dry, barren
desert. Arouse, ye liberty loving, patri-
otto sous Of America Strike down the
money sharks and famine makers Of

horrible crime go unavengedl Remone-

JUDGE FRENCH ON SILVER.
He Repudiates Repudistors and Talks
Plainly About Money.

fhhhig apout none1s
Judge Nathaniel French, temporary
chairman of the Democratic state con
vention which met at Des Moines on
Aug. and which declared for "the
honest payment Of our debts" and for
"a sound and stable currency, spoke
In part as follows:
Since Jackson's administration and
through its act we have had the gold
standard, excepting only the period of
suspension of specie payments. Our
debts, both public and private, have
been contracted on that basis, and com
mon honesty requires that they shall be
repaid accordingly. The cry Of the Chi
oago convention for the free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver at the false ratio
of 16 to 1 attacks our existing standard,
threatens us with wholesale reputation,
panic and ruin. This cry is supported
by the claim that the government is all
powerful and by its mere fat can dou-
BILE the value Of silver and make and
keep the silver dollar the full equal Of
the gold. Some men honestly believe in
this miraculous power, but what they
really want is not free coinage Of silver,
but free coinage Of paper
"Others favor this ratio as an easy
way OF paying debts. Others, made dcs.
perato by present conditions, are willing
to risk any change, hoping for better
times. Ignorant of the fact that the
present hard times are mainly due to
this agitation, they are willing to try a
bigger dose of the stuff which has poi
soned them. Others, whose main object
in life Is to break into office, regard il |
as means of getting public job Be.

MAD ENGINEMAN IN The CAB,
Thrilling Experience of a Fire
man on a Railroad of Mexico.

Hermosillo, Sonora, Mex Aug.
I6.-When the Minas Prietas tram
pulled in La Colorado last Friday
it was with mad engineer in the
locomotive cab. The terrified FIRE
man had managed to obtain con-
troll of the throttle. and had fought
away the engineer when he would
have speeded the train to destruc-
ton.
Fooled in this the engineer be-
gan to climb frantically about the
engine and tender, concluding with
quick succession of somersaults
on the floor of the engine cab.
When La Colorado was reached
Engineer Everett was raving, and
considerable force had to be used
to remove him from the cab. He
died shortly after. The attending
physician stated that death and in

kins county was preceded by the
declaration of one Captain Pickens
that "2, 900 miners of Indiana we're

body. The miners there are OBJ
stinate and the strikers will per
suade them to quit work if posi-
BILE. If persuasion fails, 1t is

Pickens was evidently "irri-
tated." We are quite sure an in
vasion of Kentucky by his army,
for the purpose indicated, would
have "irritated" the law abiding
citizens of Hopkins county into
taking their shot guns and Win
chesters in hand to such an extent
as would have astonished the
valiant Captain Pickens. Let HIM

MEssRs. KNIGHT and Llewellyn,
in the court house at Madisonvllle,
objected to Hopkins county coal
going north OF the Ohio river, as il
interierred with the business of the
miners OF Indiana. 1t seems to us
that as the Indiana miners de-
clined to do any business at all, it
is eminently proper that Hopkins
county coal should keep the mills,
the factories, the wheat threshers,
the railroads, of Indiana, going ?
Why should the operatives of the
mills, factories and railroads of In
diana starve1 Why should the
wheat crop of the farmer be de-
stroyed, because the Indiana miner
does not care to work.
At Mt. Vernon, Ill, the army OF
marching miners stopped all work
at the coal shaft. The coal from
this shaft was only used for coaling
railroad locomotives--was not ship
to St. Louis or Chicago. Had
Messrs. knight and Llewellyn
been honest with their audience,
they would have told them that
they would stop not only the Hop
kins county miners, but every in
dustry in the country.
Mr.. Kennedy, Secretary of the
organization oil which Mr.. Knight
is president, makes this exception,
however. He writes the Evans
vile miners to supply coal to the
water works, electric light plants,
charitable institutions and 6yeweyies
And this is the organization these
men want the Hopkins county
miner to join An organization
that would starve the cotton mill
operative to accomplish their pur-
pose, but would exempt the brewerl
The orators of the evening had
