Mr.. Getty's organ, the Democrat, in
its issue last week, contained per
sonal attack upon the editor of THE
REPUBLICAN which will not be allow
ed to go unnoticed, although at this
time we are not prepared to give Mr..
Gettv's letter the attention it shall
receive in a later issue of this journal
We have sufficient evidence in our
possession to prove what we have
asserted in reference to Mr.. Getty,
which will be published along with
other UNREASONABLE evidence in a
future edition of THE REPUBLICAN.

Well, Mr. Bryan did it again. his

place that State in the free silver
ranks and take Hanna out OF the
Senate. worked the other way. The
great platform orator talked IN
twelve Ohio counties. He was not
permitted to go into any city, as 1t
was thought the tenor of his speeches
was better suited to the rural cOmmu-
mites. The scheme of the Democrats
was not to pay very much attention
to the cities, but to work the counties
for all they were worth. 1t was the
same plan that Mr., German tried i'll

The complaint of Bryanites that
prices are higher is most illogical and
unreasonable since their whole cry
last year was against low prices. The
Democratic contention used to be
that low prices were blessing to the
people and low tariff was advocated
on this ground But when the Pop
ulist creed was adopted at Chicago
high prices and high tariff to make
them came into favor. The leaning
of the Bryanites at the last session of
Congress toward high tariff rates was
a novel and remarkable spectacle.
Eminent men from Georgia and even
from Texas wanted high duties on
certain things. Last summer the
Bryanites were poOhoOing the ad-
vance in the price of wheat, saying
that it was due to an exceptional
scarcity of wheat and nothing else
would advance. The gold standard
was bad because the advance was not
general. Now that improved conf
dence and business have increased
earnings and increased the demand
for and price of goods generally, still
they are not satisfied. - Baltimore

The Unjust Distribution OF the State
school Fund.
In to-day's issue of THE REPUBLI-
CAN Rev. S. NJ. Engle, pastor OF the
Garrett Memorial church, contributes
a strong argument against the pres
ent method pursued by the States
officers in distributing the State
school fund by Withholding from Gar
rett county her equitable proportion
of the money for educational pur-
poses, and thus unjustly deprlVing
the children of this county of the
means for securing what every Amer
lean citizen should have and is emit
fled to-an education at the public
expense.
Rev. Engle, in his letter proposes a
reform in the matter of distributing
this fund which, if carried out, will
remove the odium now resting upon
the educational advantages OF this
county and place her children upon
an equal plane with those OF Other
counties in the State.
The only way this matter can be
adjusted is by Legislative enactment
and the newly elected members o
the House and Senate from this coun
tv are urged to use all honorable
means in bringing this reform about

The fall in the price of silver and
the failure of the attempt to bring
about a redemption of free coinage in
the United States by the election OF
Mr.. Bryan operated as a great dis
enlargement to silver mining. Gold
is the metal now sought for, and sill
yer is considered as by-product. As
a result of these conditions the out
put of gold in Colorado this year will
reach the enormous sum of S22 600, 600;
the yield of silver will be $12, 300, 900;
of lead, $4,000, 900; copper, 81 100000;
and iron So, 600, 000 all told, S52, 100000.
This is an Outturn which puts Alaska
to shame. For the first time Colorado
takes rank as the first among our gold
producing States, and California falls
into second place, with gold output
for the year amounting to SIT 100000.

before the water was started. Then the
streams we're small and the fire bdrned on
soon enveloping the great dome in mass
of flames. This burned like shavings.
The fire quickly communicated to the
house side of the building and ran along
the roof. The house was in session when
the fire was discovered, and it was quick
ly adjourned. The dome fell at 1:20 p.
m. Several men we're slightly hurt by
falling timbers. At O'Clock the entire
interior of the house was in flames. The
water power is still very weak and every
effort is now being made to con6ne the
flames to the legislature hall. The build
ing stands between those used by Adju-
tant-General Stewart and Secretary OF
Internal Affairs LaRue. The officers are
removing valuable papers and furniture.
As Representative Rhodes and j. Doggy

CAUGHT In SAN FRANCISCO,
Butler, the Australian Murderer, Will
He Taken Back to the Scene Of
His Grimes.

San Francisco, Feb. 2.-The bark Swan
hildar, having on board the Australian
murderer, Butler, arrived this morning
after passage of seventy days from New
Castle. Detectives and police boarded
the steamer as she entered the harbor and
captured Butler. Detectives McHattie
and Conroy, who knew Butler in Aus.
tralia, Conroy having narrowly escaped
being one of his victims, we're disguised
when they boarded the Swanhilda. When
they charged Butler with the crimes at
tributed to him, he professed entire ig-
norance, and denied that his name was
Butler. On board the tug Hartley, on the
way to shore, the disguises were removed,
but still Butler pretended not to know his
captors.
On the voyage from New Castle, Butler
worked as an ordinary seaman. In his
kit were found garments bearing differ
ent marks, which correspond to the ini-
tials Of some of his victims. The extra
dition papers have already been served,
and unless something unforeseen happens,
Butler and his custodians will sail for Aus
tralia Thursday on the Monowaii. Bntler
made practice in Australia of taking
partners to his pretended mines, and then
killing them for what valuables they had.
Butler is credited by the Australian
police with having murdered fourteen
men. His last victim was Capt. Lee
Waller, a retired ship captain. Butler
took his money and clothes, aud shipped
on the Swanhilda under the name of
Weller.

RECEIVER ASKED FOR.
A Corporation with Liabilities Placed
at vi, 100000.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 2.-The Philadol
phia Lead company went into the hands
of receiver to-day. The liabilities are
$1,4OO,0OO.
Theapplication for receiver was made
by George s. Griscoll trustee, and H e,
Anderson, who set forth in the bill that
the defendant company is indebted to
Griscoll in the amount of $968,000. An
derson holds LOO shares of the capital
stock at par value of $10O. The liabili-
ties are placed on the bill at 81 100000 in
the form of commercial paper. Of this
amount $550,000 natures in February
1897. A large part of this has been in
dorsed by President Schwartz, who was RS
Gently stricken with paralysis. These
obligations and Endorsements are held at
Salt Lake, Pittsburg. New York and in
London. Over $4,000 worth of papnr
went to protest ON February for non
acceptance and the non payment Of tE,s
feompany iii stated, is unable 20 meet
or renew its obligations and suits would
be brought by creditors; causing leyies
to be made upon 100000 worth of valu-
able property. The concern employees
eighteen clerks and skilled men to the
number of 16O, many Of whom will have
rights and preferences in the assets.
President schwartz ia also sole owner
of the Pennsylvania Smelling company
at Salt Lake. As the head Of these two
companies he is compelled to buy lead,
silver and gold ores all over the west and
throughout Mexico. These ores are
smelted in Utah and refined at the lead
works stationnd on the Panhandle rail
way. These consignments of ores must
be bought for so much spot cash and this
necessitates at all times the signature of
the president to notes with which the
business of the two companies is carried
on, as it was impossible for the company
to 60 ahead with no head to the concern.
1t was ordered that two receivers be ap-
pointed, and that they transact the nee
essary business. The court named
Messrs. Griscom mot Griscoll) and An.
derson as receivers and directed them to
give bonds in sums of 100000 each,
just previous 30 the filing of the bill the
company confessed judgment to Griscom
as trustee for the creditors to the amount
of $949, 63, which with attorneys COM

TERRITORIAL ARCHIVES.
There is Urgent Need That They
should He Properly lndeNed
and Put in Order.

In past years our legislature provided
for the indexing of our territorial arch
ieves. The governor appointed Mr.. Ban
dalier to take charge of this work, but
this gentlemen, after hardly beginning
the work, was called to other parts, hav-
ing finished only about one-tifth.
Our territorial archives contain ohaot-
ic mass of documents of the highest i'm
portance, not only to the history but also
to land grants, properties, etc., and the
proper arrangement and lndexing of the
same is matter of the utmost impor-
tance. The Legislature would confer a
benefit upon the people by apprcpriating
the necessary amount for this much need
ed work, 80 as to enable the governor to
appoint competent person to perform
1t.
In this respect it would be well also TO
settle the proper custody of that part of
the archives now in the esurveyor.general'
Office, for it is the territory's and not
United States property.
