Changed.
Biloxi, Miss, Sept. 1.-THE condition
Of affairs as regards the fever is not
materially changed from the former re-
ports Most of those sick are improv-
ing rapidly. The conditions of all are
favorable. There were reported two
new cases in the Desporte family, living
on Oak street, out near the point. This
makes four cases in that family. one
new case was reported Sunday by DR..
HARRISON. DIR. Tackett reports three
new cases. DIR. Tackett kindly showed
the correspondent his list of patients
and has on same fourteen cases offever.
nine Of which he diagnosed as yellow
fever, and this is concurred in by DR..
Cant, who had just made a round Of
visits with him. DR.. Cant further says
the evidences of yellow fever are as
clear and distinct with the Bosarge
family as he has ever seen in any case.
The state board of health has been in
session here to arrange for the quaran-
tine and 10 provide a county health Off

dent Dunn and General Agent Leake of
the Illinois Central, who made a tour of
Mississippi with Drs Hunter and Quinn
or the Mississippi board Of health, re-
turned to the city in their special car
Monday morning. The results Of their.
personal visit to the various towns

Now every town of Importance is quar-
antined against New Orleans.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Another sensation
In the Luetgert trial developed at noon
Monday just after the adjournment of
court. Detective Einstedt of the East
Chicago avenue police station and a
newspaper man vouch for the truth of
startling report which was made to
the states attorneys. The report is
that two of the expert witnesses for
the defense have decided that the bones
exhibited are human and will not be
able to controvert the testimony of the
prosecution on that point. DR.. w. II.

summoned by the defense were exam

the remark:

Juror Taken Sick.
After further examination the re-
mark was made by one Of the experts
that Bailey and Homes would not have
testified as they did unless they were
positive. Near the two experts, but
unnoticed by them, stood officer Elm
stedt and newspaper man. Both as
sert that they heard the language used
as above stated and reported the fact
to the prosecuting attorneys. All pro-
ceedings in the Luetgert case were
stopped Monday morning by the illness

There is a chance that he NAV re-

PROPOSITION ACCEPTED.
Miners Vote TO Return to Work at 60 Cents
Per Ton.


Pittsburg. Sept. 1.-THE great coal
strike is over and it is probable that
ii will be many years before there is
another. II has just been learned that
President Dolan Of the Pittsburg dis
trict announced in the Columbus con-
vention that if the compromise of 65
cents q ton was not accepted by the
delegates he would return to Pittsburg
and call off the strike so far as this
district was concerned. Not only that,
but he declarded that he would lead the
strikers back into the mines. This
statement caused a rapid change in
the votes of the delegates. Pittsburg
operators say that by Tuesday a ma
jority of the mines in the Pittsburg dis
trict will be in operation In spite of the
ten days clause adopted by the Colum-
bus convention.
All the operators seen were of one
opinion that since both sides had agreed
upon the terms of settlement there was
no good reason why the mines should
not be opened at once, without waiting
for the ten-day agreement to expire.
The miners of this district propose to
continue the fight against the New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal company. Of
which De Armit Is president. and TO
wage IL more fiercely than ever. The
working miners will be assessed to pay
De Armits strikers full wages as long
as they are out Of employment. and
the camps and pickets will be main
tanned all winter, IL necessary. The
miners in this district blame De Armit
for most of their troubles and are de-
termned to defeat him at any cost. A
convention has been called for Wednes-
da- to arrange the details of the cam
paign.

A COMPLIMENT.

An Old Opponent Praises Our Editor.
A most astonishing thing has o.
Cured. The Hastings Gazette has &C.
tually mentioned the name of DOnnelly
in connection with praise and thanks.
For years past the Gazette has men
toned Donnelly only in terms of con-
tempt and derision, and it serves we'll
to illustrate the strange fantastic capers
of the whirligig Of Time, that after all
these years of abuse the Gazette is ac-
tually brought to commend the sage. 1t
said:
There is probably no delegation in
the late legislature deserving of greater
credit than that of Dakota county, and
it is gratifying to Messrs. Schaller, Sta
pies and Donnelly to know that their
active and vigilant services in behalf
of both state and local interests are cor
respondingly appreciated at home, re-
CARELESS of party politics. They are
certainly entitled to the thanks Of every
voter in city and county"
Not the least strange of this unlocked
for coincidence is the fact that the In
dependent is prepared to endorse what

to make it success after inauguration.
l have never found a place in history
either sacred or profane where there is
mention made of conservative either
heading or carrying forward a great re-
form movement. The reformers have
all been radicals from the Carthgenian
general, Hannibal, down to our own Ig
natius Donnelly, God bless him.
l cannot look on one of those snivel-
ing, cringing, smooth tongued, oily
mQuthed, bristle-backed conservative
gents, who put in their time trying to
rock people to sleep with false promises
and professions without feeling sorry
for them, for l have no doubt but the
devil RACES and raves and heaps up in
dignation against such on account of
their assuming his role and usurping
his special privilege and prerogative Ct

plying glance in their direction, though
they have long since passed beyond the
reach of his mercy. "A. w. Potter.

Of gold alone represented by bank bills,
or silver and gold with government
notes to take the place OF the bank
notes, when the excuse is, it will make
more money in use and thereby relieve
the stringency caused by the use of gold
alone. Now if all the silver was coined
and added to the amount of money i'll
circulation it would not be enough to
supply the demand of increasing popula
ton and business, and cause flush times,
besides these few men who now control
the gold and have had control of it for
the last ten years-how much longer
will it take to give them the power to
control both metals? All who have
read history to any advantage have no
ticed that hard times have always ac-
companied a stringency in the money
market, and good times always have fol-
lowed a redundancy Of money. Seven
centuries of paper money in Venice
caused it to rejoice and blossom beyond
all precedent and outstrip every other
city in Europe in business, wealth and
prosperity. England during it's war
with France under Napoican was
obliged to resort to the use of paper
money and brilliant time OF prosperity
followed, which was reversed on the re-
turn of specie payment. The United
States in the Civil War with scarce a
dollar in silver or gold had the wisdom
to create her own money and carried on
a war of unprecedented COST suffering
and destruction, and came through with
| increased prosperityAwh continued
! until they began to destroy the green
backs and replace them with interest
bearing bonds, and allowed private par
ties to usurp the authority of govern
ment, changing their owe you's to you
owe us, with interest added. According
to the United States Ireasurer's report
of 1891 we have paid IN interest on the
bonded debt since 1862 I'D to
1891, total sum of $751;
454 ,40S. From the same authority
the total amount paid on the United
States debt since 1866 up to 800 inclu-
sive "a debt of only $2,0S0,O ,OOO). So
$4,000, GOO. Compare the original debt
in 1866 WITH the amount of interest paid
in IS years, up to 1891, which is S2.43l.-
54,4OS. and say which you prefer,
bonded debt with interest or a debt of
the people to the people without inter-
est and CT imperative use rs money. 1t
would be interesting as we'll as instruc-
tive to know how much interest for the
use Of bank bills has been paid by the
people during the time, but must leave
that question to be answered by those
better posted than myself.

The Awaiting Doom.

written for the Representative
The horny handed son of toll
Once more has met defeat
Upon his throne, the ballot box,
Injustice takes it's seat.
While waiting Justice slumbers still,
Beneath the cloak of shame,
And riches in their greedy might
Holds rule in freedoms name;
While swiftly drifting on the rock,
With pennons floating now,
The ship of state with rudder gone,
With shattered, broken prov,
Will meet at last it's broken doom
In kings despotic sway,
Where once in Gods devoted land
Shone freedoms mighty day.
Avert the doom, oh ship of state!
Cast off the binding chain!
And arise again in freedoms might
To sweep the oceans main.
To sweep the land of all it's wrongs,
And make the tyrant bend
Beneath the weight of outraged law,
The doom our God doth send.
For many perish that have fed
Great freedoms waning flame,
While thousand sworship at the shrin

Orr FORUM

Many of the contributions to the
Forum are too long. In the future we
must insist that they be made shorter.
Most of them could be condensed into
600 words. If this is done it will en-
able the REPRESENTATIVE to print
more and a greater variety. Here
after the shorter letters will he given
preference. Write them on one side of
the paper only If written on both sides
they will not be printed under any
circumstances.
Write them plainly and with ink.
Do not crowd the lines closely together.
A plainly written letter conforming to
these rules will stand by far the best
chance to be printed.
Within certain proper limitations we
admit the widest liberty of thO'.ght and
expression upon the part Of our CORE
spondents, while we do not hold our
selves responsible for any views which
may be put forth.
The Forum, as it's name implies is a
sort of debating school, for the discus
sion of the important questions Of the
day. We ask our correspondents to
avoid abusive personalities and to keep
clear of the shoreless and bottomless
sea of religious debate.-Ed.

Men of all political creeds will regard
this as news of deep significance, and
desire to indicate it's full meaning as
understand it, being quite willing that
he who will shall laugh first, while
wait to laugh last.
This news means that the gold men
now own nearly all the great silver
mines of the world, and in time, per-
haps in a few months, they will con-
sent to the reconciliation of silver, and
they will thereby "clean up two or
three billion dollars and at the same
time avert worldwide crash which
nearly all men now feel to be in the
air. and few see how it can be pre-
vented.
Quite we'll 1 know, as already init
mated, how prepOsterous this may seem
to most old party men, for they read the
newspapers and take the news which is
made up for them without a thought as
to it's source or inspiration. But even
they should see that this news is quite
out of the ordinary, indeed very de-
cidedly so.
While there is ample room in the
daily newspapers for pugilistic contests,
"bike" races and scandals, there seems
to be no room for the news that mil
lions of English capital have recently
been invested in the great silver mines
of Mexico and in the more marvellous
silver and lead mines of the SLOGAN
district in British Columbia, as we'll as

enter my protest. against the proposition
| to break up the Peoples Party.
Some have proposed that the party
! change it's name9 This is to say, in 9TH
| er words, that the Populists are to act
| the part of person who has committed
such misdeeds that he must hide his
| identity under new name! 1t would
seem that such an idea could not arise
| in the brains of a person who has no
| faith in the principles of the party, but
whose object is only to get into Office.
| If the principles of a party do not rec
| ommend it to the people what is the
| party worth? If the principles of par
| ty are right, what the party has to do
| is to convince the people that they are
right, and not to 60 like an ostrich
| and hide its head.
| Then it is proposed to form new
| party to be called People's-Democratic
party In other words the party is to
retain a name that is alleged to be OBJ
| noxious and add another name that to
a large class of voters is still more OBJ
| noxious. There is scarcely name that
! the majority of our Norwegian popula-
! ton detest more than the name of DEM
| ocrat If they were to choose between
| Democrat and devil l am much inclined
/ to think that they would prefer the lat
, ter. Absurd as this prejudice is at pres
ent there has formerly been good reason
| for it. In the minds Of Norwegian vot-
ers the name of Democrat is inseparably
connected with the crime of Negro slav-
cry. On the other hand they have known
| Republicanism as the destroyer Of that
slavery. That the present Republican
party is only the Wing party in a new
shape has not become obvious to them.
| After long continued civil wars in
Norway about the succession to the
/ throne it became the chief article Of the
political faith of the Norwegians that
the occupant of the throne should sue
coed thereto by hereditary rights. 1t
was no matter what evils befell the
country provided the king was of the
| right royal line. In this country the
| Norwegians have transferred their 10y
atty to the Republican party. No mat
| ter how the shoe pinches if only the
| country is ruled by the Republican
| dynasty of presidents: The Norwegian
