carries the biggest and best line Of

for them to throw you into a fit of
the smoothest clothing you eve1

''the other fellow" will do it.
The new year is going to be a

it would be to force gold down IS
per cent below its present level and
then pay in gold? There woaldb
no difference whatever.
No one who really understands
the principles involved in this
great controversy can fail to see
the absurdity of the position as
sumed by the international bimeta'-
lists of America. The explana-
nation is found in the fact that
there are only two classes of GIN
ternational bimetallists.' One
class is composed of persons who
either know nothing whatever
about the question, or who under
stand it very im~perfectly. They
| have a vague idea that the demone-
tization Of silver was wrong, and
that it ought to be restored. But
they have been frightened into the
belief that the "United States can
not do it alone.' In a confused
and indefinite way they imagine
that if we can only get an lnternat-
ional agreement we will be all
right.
The other class consists of men
who may or may not understand
the question, but who are satisfied
with the existing monetary stand
ard, and do not want silver restored
at all. They pretend to favor an
international agreement merely be-
cause they believe it is impossible
to get one, and that by keeping the
people in pursuit of this phantom
they a prevent any action by the
United States and thus maintain
the gold standard for all time.
These men, of course, care nothing
! about the absurdities and contra
dictions of their arguments so long
as they win. The very essence of
the "~silver mems" contention is
that by the decentralization of sill.
yer gold. was made dearer, and
therefore dishonest money. That
the effect was to lower the prices
of all the products of labor anc
consequently increase the burden
of all debt. If this be true, the ac1
cannot be defended upon any prin.
ciple of justice. 1t was an mex.
cusable, indefensible, and uncon.
scionable WRONG and no amount O
sophis:ry or special pleading car
make it right. If it was wrong
that wrong should be undone, an<
it can be undone in no other wa
than by the complete restoration Q
silver to the right of m,nlage an
legal tender which it formerly en-
joyed. In whatever way it mayb
, done. whether by the United State
acting independently or concurrent
6 " with other nations, it is bound t
: make gold cheaper by lesseninj
the demand for it. So, we sd
f., that the international bimetall,s
, W O charges the "free 81 VERT.
. with dishonesty in trying to &c
/ "cheaper money! is either de
ceived himself or is trying to de
: ceive others.

international Bimetallism.

''sound money now, it ought tc
be satisfactory to every honest MAI
and it would certainly be wrong tc
change it.
Still, the country is full of PEG.
pie who occupy the anomolus po-
sitioa Of defending our present gold
standard as both ''sound' and
''honest," and at the same time
declaring that they are IN favor OF
an international agreement for its
overthrow. because that is what
bimetallism. whether national or
International, actually means. If
there is no difference between in
ternational bimetallism and the
present gold standard the change
Will do US no good, and it is a
waste Of time to bother about it.
II the gold standard is ''sound' and
"honest' and international blmet-
allism is something different, then
it follows with mathematical GER
tainty that such an agreement as
they advocate will give US a stand
ard both unsound and dishonest.
Two things cannot be different and
also be the same. If a certain
yardstick is lust the right length,
it is, Of course, a fair and honest
%yardstick. 1t is "sound.' Any
other yardstick which differs from
it must OF necessity be of improper
length and consequently unfair,
dishonest and unsound. .
Hence, comes the very peril
nent question: What would be the
effect of restoring bimetallism by
international agreement? 1t is as
plain as light that it would raise
the value Of silver and lower the
value of gold. If England, France
Germany and the United States
should concurrently agree to com
and use both metals freely at a GER
tain ratio, it is manifest that the
demand for money use which these
great nations now make upon gold
alone, would be divided between
gold and silver. Under such con
ditions, it is just as certain that
gold would become cheaper as it is
that it would melt in a sufficiently
hot fire. If any man on earth de.
MES this, he is simply disputine
the great Nv of supply and de
mand. But no honest man, Wh<
knows what he is talking abou'
will deny it. So, we will take i
for granted that international bi
metall,sm would make gold cheap
er. But if it is honest money now
what moral right has any power t

the 2:OS pace, the 2:11 trot and the
2:2O trot. The first event was the un-
finished pace and it took but one heat
to decide it, Satin Slippers winning
easily, with Elsinor second, Elf third
and Brentwood fourth. First money Was
given to Satin Slippers, second to Bent
wood, third to Elsinor and fourth to
Elf. In the pool rooms The Monk was
selling as favorite in the 2:2O trot, Ell

Sensational Developments in . Trial

Atlanta, Ga, July 2S.-Sensational
developments marked the afternoon
trial of Edward c. Flanagan, the
double murderer, whose trial is now
exciting the interest Of the state. 1t
developed this afternoon. as a result
of the testimony of a dozen or more
expert witnesses, that Flanagan has
what is known as paranoia, known to
the medical world as an insane pas
sion for little girls. The defense show
ed that many times Flanagan had be-
come wildly infatuated with girls un-
der 12-years- -of-age, proposing mar
riage to nearly every one he met. On
one occasion he saw a little girl play
ing at the piano he sent her a love let
ter inclosing $500 in bills, begging her
to become his wife when she became
old enough. Many little girls testified
that Flanagan proposed to them and
begged them to become his wife. The
trial is slowly drawing to a close. On
account of the rapid progress being
made with the trial ii is not thought
there will be any attempt to lynch the
prisoner. A verdict is expected before
the end of the week.

Two Brothers Killed

Waco. Texas Jnlv 22-Tn the stock
brokerage office Of G.. E. Trice & Co.
today, B. F. Kivett and w. w. Kivett
were shot and killed by w. Lamden,
a member of the firm. Bad feeling has
existed between the Kivett brothers
and Lamden for some time, growing
out of charges made by the relatives
of Lamden against sister Of the Xiv
etts. The shooting between the broth
ers and Lamden occurred during the
busiest part Of the. day when the office
was crowded and it caused intense ex-
citement. Two more of the Kivett
brothers armed themselves and pro-
ceeded to the scene of the shooting,
threatening to kill I4amden, but they
were not allowed to enter. The killing
is universally looked upon as justifia-
BILE.
About a month ago the Kivetts at
tempted to kill Lamden, inflicting a
knife wound on him, and they had fire.
Quently threatened to kill him since
then. This morning they appeared in
the doorway of Trice d Co.'S office.
Lamden was informed of their coming.
AS they appeared in the door way they
drew their pistols, but Lamden fired
with shot gun before they could
shoot, killing B. F. Kivett instantly.
w. w. Kivett rushed on Lamden with
his revolver and as he pulled the trig-
ger, Lamden struck the weapon up
and then grabbed it. The men wres-
tied over the weapon which kivett sue
ceeded in firing several times without
result. Lamden finally succeeded in
drawing his revolver and shooting
Kivett three times. Lamden was un-
injured.

ters was in session, Professor P. H.
Patterson, one Of the leaders Of his
race in the south, a graduate of the
University of Michigan, a teacher in
the state normal college and highly
respected negro, was murdered at the

of the big church for alleged immoral
conduct with a member OF his flock.
Patterson led the fight against him and
Rev. A. J.. Stokes, pastor Of another
church, sided with Brown.
- This morning when the state con-
gress convened an argument between
Stokes and Patterson over the Brown
case resulted in a fist fight, when some
negro from the crowd shot and killed
Patterson. The colored population is
very much wrought up. This after
noon a posse composed Of negroes cap
tured George Ritchett, who had gone
into the woods He cOnfesses to hav-
ing done the shooting. Preachers
Stokes and Brown, Bracy and Branan
and five other prominent negroes have
been arrested. A conspiracy is alleged
to have existed. An investigation by
the coroner was begun this afternoon.
