Of his daughter, Mrs. VIM. King, in
Richland Center recently, was a man
with a history. He was born near
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Dec. Is, 1917. His
parents being Quakers he was raised
in that faith. Having learned black
smithing he located at Sharon not
far from his native community, and
after residence at that place of two
years, removed to Belphre, a village
at the end of Blennerhassett's island,
on the Ohio river. He became a great
worker in the anti-slaVery cause and
took to the stump with number of
the great abolitiOnists of that day,
among them Frederick Douglas, with
whom he vas closely associated.
Mr.. Bailey was many times honored
by nomination to prominent political
positions by the liberty party. The
Virginia slave lfor4 5 considered him
a great grievance and even laid plots
to take his life. In 1856 he came to
Wisconsin with his family and To-
Gated in Richland county. He was
four times elected to the state legis-
lature. His occupation was farming
blacksmithing and school teaching
After leaving Ohio he became q
Methodist and for the last 30 years OF
his life was local minister. He
leaves an aged widow, three sons an6
seven daughters.

A CARD FROM MIR. PEELE.

To the Editor: As / Informed my
friends among the Populists that would
accept their endorsement Of September
Doth, for Congress in this district if
nominated by the Democrats, and as it
has been decided that no nomination shall
be made, l wish to state that am in
no sense nor ever have been Il candidate
for Congress, and l certainly hope that
no friend of mine in any party will east
ballot for me. / have never believed
that any candidate in sympathy with the
Chicago platform could be elected with
ont beginning the race with straight
nomination from duly organized Demo-
cratic convention, and least of all could
l afford to make the race without such
nomination. because at one time fought
the national Democratic organization un-
der Mr.. Cleveland. The only reason
allowed my name to be considered as the
nominee of the party was that, knowing
myself to be in full harmony with the
Chicago platform and having never
doubted the prime necessity Of white
mans government in this State. l sup
posed myself to be also in full harmony
with the administration Of the party in
charge Of this campaign. do not have
to withdraw from the race because
have never been in it, but write this card
that the information may be so definite
and specific that my position can be
neither misunderstood nor misrepresented
and so that no ballot shall be cast for
me under any misrepresentation. / only
consented to allow my name to be men
toned for Democratic nomination be-
cause it was supposed by some friends
that on account of my fight for free
silver | could add some strength to the
ticket from among those who also fought
Mr.. Cleveland though in different
way, and the Middle-of- the Road en-
dorsement was taken as some slight in
dication of this fact 1t was remem-
bered that the silver question was the
original cause of the division of the white
vote, and it was hoped that pronounced
emphasis of the Importance of this issue
would take away the excuse for the
further division of that vote.

to the glory, profit n victory which
would result from a war with the United
States. They have now been rudely awak-
med to it's terrible consequences. A starv-
ing nation cares nothing for national
honor.
The queen now has an honorable excuse
to give her people why she must sue for
peace. The Carlists view the riots with
mingled horror and distress. They know
they mean death to their cherished plans.
The dearest ambition of Weyler may be

The price of a loaf of bread counts but
little in the eyes of the rich nan save n
an abstract and ideal sense. Even the
American workingman, with his relative
ly high wages, can remain Indifferent
thereto. But in Europe, where the wages
| of labor are small beyond all American
conception, and where the workingman is
expected to keep his wife and his family
on 81. so and SO a week, the increase in
the price of q loaf of bread ever by a few
cents is a matter of vital consideration
and entails the suffering Of the pangs OF
hunger.
Perhaps no better illustration Of the
subject can be given than the figures just
published by the French government.
According to these, the annual consuunp-
ton of wheat in France mounts to 1870,
600, 600 hectoliters, whereas the annual
production does not exceed in b best
years go, 900, 000 hectoliters, n last year
amounted to only So, 900, 900 hectoliters,
SO that 45, 900, 900 hectoliters have TO be
imported from abroad, and 1t is hardly
necessary to say that whenever, through
one reason or another, there is any partie-
ular scarcity of grain the brokers and
dealers as well as the domestic farmer take
advantage thereof to increase the price TO
as high a figure as is possible.
At the present moment the price OF
grain in Europe is higher thar at any
previous time for 30 years. Indeed there
are some authorities who allege that there
has been nothing in the present century to
compare with the phenomenally rapid and
extreme rise of wheat during the last
week. Today wheat is at S1.9o, and 1t IS
only necessary to recall to mind that when
wheat stood at that figure 1870 years ago
in France the entire country rose in in
surrection owing to the severity Of the
sufferings Of the people caused by hunger

Cries of Hunger Also Heard in

WILL ANARCHY SAVE THE THRONE ?


More terrible than American battleships
is the cry of tho infuriated Spanish multi
tude for bread. Nearly every national
revolution in Europe has been begun by
means of bread riots. They are the terror
of monarchies and the despair Of repub-
lies. Yet there is a plausible theory, adj
vanced by Horatio s. Rubens, that the
present riots in Spain may save the reign
ing dynasty and afford a way to end the
war with America without the collapse OF
the Spanish government. Men with
empty stomachs think only of something
to cat, not of politics or wars. In fact,
these bread riots will prove the salvation
Of the Spanish monarchy. If they had
not occurred, the humiliation of Spain by
tho United States would have caused .
revolution and the throne would have been
destroyed. But now the cry for bread
rises louder than any patriotic cheers, and
the people are willing for peace at any
cost if it brings food
The underlying motive Of the riots is
not political, but economical. The advance
In the price of wheat will also increase the
suffering of the Spanish people, and SO
another pressure is brought to bear to ter
inmate the war speedily. The people,
ignorant and egotistical, naturally relied
on the statements of their government a.
