ANOTHER OUTRAGE ON SILVER.
More Gold, BOuntifuI Crops and BOOM
Ing Business.

Again does Silver, with a capital S,
suffer martyrdom; once more is she the
victim of crime. Talk about the "crme
of 1S73," first discovered and exposed
by the senior senator from Nevada
the dark act" which the luminous in
tellect of Senator Morgan has pictured
in such somber hues! That was moth
ing in comparison with the more mon
strous crimes of to-day. Well may it
be said that horror on horrors head
accumulates when we look around and
see how the money power, that deadly
enemy of silver, is reSorting 10 the most
Infamous means to disgrace and bring
obloquy upon the pure white metal.
Not satisfied with constantly increas-
ing the output of gold from the already
well-known regions of its production,
what does this fiendish prosecutor Of
silver, this malicious conspirator against
the human race, do? 1t has actually had
the effrontery to find another gold re-
gion of such marvellous productive
power that the price of silver has de-
clined to almost the lowest point it has
ever known. Fifty-nine centsan ounce
and no bottom! a Accent dollar, and
no hope!
Appalling as this crime is, it brings no
blush of shame to the hardened brow of
the money power. That relentless be-
ing, like the monster of Franlenstein,
has no conscience and no moral prin-
ciple. Unsatiated in it's desires and un-
moved by the distress and misery of its
victim, the money power has committed
another crime. 1t has torn away and
abducted wheat, the pretended twin Sis
ter of silver, from it's loved embrace.
Could anything be more monstrous?
Wheat, so long associated in the inn
agination of the sweet singers Of silver,
with their beloved idol, has been ruth
lessly snatched away, and goes soar
ing in the markets. The farmers may
smile and pay their debts in good
money, but the wind is let out of the
silver orators best argument! Could
anything be more disastrous?
Plenty of gold, and advancing prices
for bountiful crops! What are we COM
ing to when such crimes can be COM
mitted under our very eyes? Will the
money power never let up?-Chicago

OEE FOR klONDYKE.
A Party Leaves Saginaw for Alaskan
Gold Fields.

Saginaw, July 30.-George II. Leath-
ers, Herbert w. Savage, WILDER Savage,
G.. A. Kendall. l.. Il. Barnet and Will
Wallace left Thursday for the Klon-
dyke gold fields. Their route is via
Flint & Pere Marquette TO Flint, Grand
Trunk to Chicago, thence to ST. Paul
and Seattle; from there to Juneau and
up the river about 900 miles by steam
boat to Dyea. They paid SIP each for
their tickets to the last named point,
and have shipped through to that place
three canoes that cost $50 delivered.
They will purchase clothing in st. Paul
and provisions in Juneau. The party
will continue the 1,000-mile Journey
from Dyea by canoes on the river and
on foot over the mountains. They fig
ure on leaving Seattle about August 2
and arriving at Dyea about one week
later. With good luck they expect to
arrive at the gold Eelds and begin pros
pecting from August 20 to September
l. No word will probably be received
from them after leaving the steamer
before next spring. when they promise
to tell their Saginaw friends the truth
of the stories of gold.

COMMENT AND OPINION.

DThe democratic party has been
committed since 1896 TO what is in eff
feet general war on wealth and busi-
ness.-N. Y. Sun Oem.).
JThe free trade senators should hur-
ry off to some vacation wilderness as
relief from their present sense of lone
liness.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
UA tariff that opens workshops and
gives n million idle men constant work
is kind of "a robber tax" that the peo-
pie will like.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
TIf Bryan were president now he
would probably call congress in special
session to make law forbidding Ameri-
cans to go to Alaska and mine more
gold.-Bufralo Express.
CTMr. Bryan might give his theories
n flavor of current interest by predict
ing that among the gold-worshipers
who are fastening TO Alaska there will
be at least 16 disappointments to one
success.-Washingt Star.
yMrs. Lease. Tom Watson and Debs
have deserted the Bryan banner. The
first thing the boy knows, if this sort
of thing keeps on, he will awake to the
startling fact that he is in decent COM
pany.-Cleveland Leader.
OA democratic paper in Maryland
is at loss to know why Mr.. Bryan is
called "a matchless leader" unless il is
because he enabled the republicans TO
carry every county in that state except
four-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
DThere would have been another
slump in the silver market had silver
instead of gold been found in the Klon-
dyke region; but in order TO be con-
sistent the Bryanites should have re-
joiced over the prospect Of cheaper
moncy.-Chicago Tribune.

SETTLERS CLAIM A VICTORY.
New Development In a Contest Over
Lnnd in Michigan.

Marquette, Aug. 2.-Land Commits
sioner Hermann has sent back to the
Marquette land office the contest be-
tween the Michigan Land and Iron COM
pany and the settlers. This will cause
an open contest for $4,000 acres of land,
and may leopard the title to nearly ten
times that much. The land claimed by
the Michigan Land and Iron company is
the old Marquette, Houghton & On
tonagon railroad grant, which was
given to aid the construction of line
from Marquette to Ontonagon in 1851.
1t consists of 1000 acres Since pass
ing to the new corporation its title has
been in dispute, and settlers have squat
ted on $4,000 acres of the best home
steads. The company filed an applica-
tion for patents covering swamp. TIM
ber and mineral lands. The commits
sioner's action in granting an open
hearing in the land office requires all
the settlers to be notified, and the COM
pany will have to prove in open court
that it comes under the railroad grant
confirmatory act passed in 1887. The
settlers say it will be impossible to do
this, and are rejoicing in their victory.

Unique Distinction Attained by
Womnn in MusIxcgon County.


Decatur, Aug. Mrs. Kate l.. Glas-
ford, of Muskegon county, has the
unique distinction of having had five
husbands, each of whom was a war vet
eran. She is a'well-preserved woman
of 81 years and of exceedingly attrac-
tive appearance. Her first husband,
William C. Simmons, of Fort Kinney,
Neb., was member of the United
States dragons, and she served as a
nurse. For meritorious services at
Harrison's Landing she was presented
by President Lincoln with gold
medal. She was on the field of Gettys-
burg, where the soldiers knew her as
''the lady in gray" Simmons was soon
after taken prisoner, and she never
heard of him again. At Marshall, Mich.
after the war closed, she married An
drew j. Harrington. Divorced In 1876
she married John White, from whom
she also obtained a divorce. For
awhile she nursed yellow fever patients
in Florida, receiving a gold medal from
the government for her heroic work.
In 1889 she moved TO Muslegon county
and married William Fowler, but she
could not get along with him, either,
and after a short time was legally free
again. Then, after n time, came her
present husband, Glasford. Mrs. Glas-
ford has been collector of customs at
Port Sherman and postmistress at

RETURNING GOOD TIMES.
Advancing Prosperity shutting Out
Calamity Croakers.

A new tariff law will be in operation
within n very few days. Business will
then be able confidently to adjust itself
to the new schedules, and period of
prosperity ought gradually and SUBJ
stantially TO set in Why not?
The crops in no recent years were
ever so promising as they are to-day.
reports from every section of the coun-
try show this. The yield of both corn
and wheat will be abundant. The fruit
crop is simply enormous. In the state
of Missouri the people have never
known anything TO equal it. Their
fruit crop overshadows in both size
and value their other crops. The
southern states, despite the disastrous
floods experienced last spring will
produce large yield of cotton. Prices
are good, and, what is better, are still
rising. Wheat brings paying figure
again, and cotton is n profitable in
vestment both for the planter and for
the factor.
Business has for some time been i'm
proving. The silver shouters, for par
tisan ends, have made jest of this
claim, but it is true. 1t does not rest
upon the assertion of politicians an
swering the silver men, but upon re-
ports of business men themselves, and
upon the observations of experienced
travellers familiar with the country and
good judges of business appearances
and conditions. These men note a ma
terial change for the better, and are
convinced that with an assured revenue
sufficient for the support of the gov
ernment, and so levied as to stimulate
industries, complete business conf
dence is reasonably certain to return
and bring back good times again.
Is 1t not better TO put faith in prog
nostications from these sources than
in those from sources controlled by
politics as business? The men who
have undertaken TO force this coun-
try TO a silver basis are not ex-
pected to concede either that times
are better, or that they can be
better short of the adoption Of
their financial policy. They are not
on the lookout for prosperity. They
wouldn't know it if they were to meet
it in the road with tag on il. They
are bears in the political market. They
are engaged in concerted effort to
depress value and becloud the popular
judgment. And what is to be noted to
their discredit, some of them are grow
ing rich from the undertaking.
But good times are coming. and they
cannot be retarded bv DesSimists nv

that year the output was 1000 barrels,
worth $1,000, which was promptly alb
sorbed by local demand. The report of
the survey adds: "A factory is under
construction near Bronson, Mich, by the
Monarch Portland Cement company, to
manufacture cement from the large
deposit of mari which occurs at that
point. At these works the rotary proc
ess of burning will be employed, as at
Coplay, Phillipsburg and Sandusky."
