stancy of our forces is nothing short Of
marvellous.
And we have preserved not only our
membership, but the enthusiasm of con-
viction, the courage and elan in attack;
while the disposition to organize care
fully and Systematically is noticeably
more prevalent than formerly. Reading
clubs, circulating libraries monetary
schools, are increasing rapidly, and the
consumption of solid educational mater
ial is everywhere rising.
Along with the spirit just mentioned
there has been, despite some apparently
contradictory manifestations, no loss
of harmony among the great co-opera-
tive divisions of the allied armies. The
disposition shown in some quarters for
the gold democrats to be reinstated in
the new democracy upon terms of mu-
tual accommodation, will not be coan-
tenanced by the vast body of the party;
which latter is determined that 1896
shall continue to signalize a virtual re-
birth of that organization and a formal
challenge to the trust and confidence of
and Carlisle could never again have
hoped to merit. Meantime the co-ope-
rating forces of silver republicans and
populists have plainly informed the
democracy that the slightest shadow of
turning will dissolve the alliance and
shatter every hope Of victory under the
democratic name. Moreover, large num-
her af la
izing the final and epochal nature of the
revolution, have seen the error of their
ways and are surrendering at disere-
ton. To be sure, some of our populist
associates have recently committed
themselves to a programme that may
seem to threaten the harmony of COM
bined action in the next clash of arms

The Silver Movement in the
United States in the Vear 1897

Written for the Christmas Standard.
While it is true that men engaged in
a great cause which they know to be
right are able, upon the venerable prin-
ciple that virtue is its own reward, TO
find satisfaction in the mere conscious
ness of the service, it is nevertheless
natural, particularly when the cause is
not only virtuous in principle, but prac-
tical in character and intimately relat-
cd to the welfare of their fellow mon,
that they should desire to see from time
to time tangible evidences of progress,
Tt is accordingly of special qualification
to the advocates of the restoration of BIZ
metansm in the United States that as,
in common with the rest of mankind,
they pause upon the threshold of the
new year, the retrospect of 1897 affords
them many proofs of substantial adj
vancement.
In the first place it is great achieve
ment to have held our ranks unbroken
in face of the furious charges of the
enemy, and especially against his wiles
and seductions. But we have done this.

practically every state and territory,
and in personal observation extending
over a great portion of the country,

States, so far as / have been able to

deserted his colors. When it is remem-
bered that the advocates of the gold
standard have been increasingly flood
ing the country with their literature;
that by means of the great newspapers
they own and of the associated press
and other news agencies they control.
they have shamefully misrepresented
current events. magnifying even the
most trivial and natural assumptions of
business into colossal exemplifications

CHARGES BRIBERY.
SENSATIONAL MESSAGE SENT
IN BY GOVERNOR ADAMS.
Vetoes the Colorado Oleomargarine
Bill, and Is Not at All Slow in
Giving His Reasons Therefor.

Denver, April Ex-Governor Adams
has vetoed the bill regulating the man
ufacture and sale of oleomargarine.
The veto message is sensational in
the extreme, as the governor includes
in his message a letter from a Denver
lawyer to an oleomargarine manufac-
turer in Chicago, going to show that
the bill was passed by means of the
most open and barefaced bribery in
both house and senate. The bill pro-
vided that oleomargarine could be sold,
but that no coloring matter could be
used. The governor withholds the
names used in the letter, which was
written 70 urge the manufacturer to
send $3.50. his share Of the amount
needed to insure the passage of the
bill. Tt was stated that local dealers
had already contributed and that man
ufacturers in Kansas City and Indian
apolis had agreed to do so.

Nogales, Ariz.. April 2O.-Senor Juen
Salazar, the present mayor of Santa
Cruz, a Mexican town about 80 miles
from here. came TO Nogales to inform
by telegraph the state authorities of a
battle that had taken place at Lochiel
between five soldiers and some outlaws
who are badly wanted by the Mexican
officials. Lochiel is a village situated
on the boundary line between the
United States and Mexico.
The bandits, Angel Escalante, George
Brady and others, who had been stay
ing on the Arizona side of the line,
got drunk and went over to the MeXi-
can side, and began TO make trouble.
a citizen was Immediately sent out
TO Santa Cruz, some miles distant, to
notify the authorities of the outlaws
appearance in Sonora. On hearing the
news, the president dispatched five SOL
dierS to capture them. The soldiers
arrived at Lochiel in the evening and
they Immediately went to an adobe
house where the men were The SOL
diers requested them to surrender
whereupon the bandits all drew guns
through the back door. In the en-
counter which ensued so shots were
exchanged, and resulted in the killing
of one bandit and the wounding of a
soldier. After the ammunition had
given out, the desperadoes returned to
the Arizona side, taking their dead
companion with them, and the soldiers
were compelled to return to Santa Cruz
empty-handed. An effort will prob
ably be made to extradite the law
breakers.
