tenance of the parity of the metals were
by a breath strewn to the winds. Mel
ther the traditions of the party were
preserved nor the precedents of the past
obeyed. The teachings of Jefferson,
jackson, Benton, Tilden, Cleveland
were repudiated and the heresies of
Bryan, Altgeld and Tillman substituted.
For the first time the doctrine of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver was
preached. Truly, strange gods are put
up in the democratic sanctuary and
false prophets are heard in the land.
The platform reads:
1--WE declare that the act of 1878 de-
m%onetizing silver, without the knOwl-
edge Or approval Of the American PEG.
pie, has resulted in the appreciation of
prices of commodities produced by the
people a heavy increase in the burden
of taxation, and of all debts, public and
private the enrichment of the money
lending class at home and abroad the
prOstration of industry and %impoverish-
ment of the people.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to mon
ometal]ism, which has locked fast the
prosperity of an industrial people in
the paralysis of hard times. Gold mon
Ometallism is a British policy and it's
adoption has brought other nations into
financial servitude to London. 1t is not
only un-American, but anti American,
and it can be fastened Oh the United
States only by the sitting of that spirit
and love of liberty which proclaimed
our political independence i'll 1776, and
won it in the war of the Revolution.
1--WE demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at the
present ratio of Is to /, without waiting
forthe aid or consent of any other nation.
We demand that the standard silverdOllar
shall be a full legal-tender, equally with
gold, for all debts, public and private,
and we favor such legislation as will
prevent for the future the demonetiza-
ton of any kind of legal tender money
by private contract.
1--WE are opposed to the policy and
practice of surrendering to the holders
of the obligations of the United States
the option reserved by law to the gov
eminent of redeeming such obligations
i'll either silver coin or gold coin.
1--WE are opposed to the issuing of in
terest bearing bonds of the United
States in time of peace, and condemn
the trafficking with banking syndicates
which, in exchange for bonds and at an
enormous profit to themselves, supply
the Federal treasury with gold to main
tain the policy of gold monometallism."
When the history of this country will
be written, the Macaulay of the future
will point to the silver agitation and the
presidential campaign of 1896 and the
last stand made for silver in the two Or
three years following, as one of those
unexplainable political conditions recur-
ring from time to time. History repeats
itself where a people carried away by
ignorance and prejudice, hysteria and
commercial depression, stand in the way
Of their own civilization industrial de-

appliances is the same temper intensi-
fed in the Orient. Will the historian
of the future compare the free silver
party with the misguided English
man of the early century or with the
half civilized Chinese, neither of whom
had any use for the better tool of mod
ern industry?

The WR:er SAT-.

The parties to the Mound Valley
water suit faileu to settle their differ
noes last night and court adjourned
till 8 o'clock this morning to give
them another opportunity to coGpro
mise their differences. All the part
les in the main suit agreed on terms
today and the necessary papers were
drawn up and sigaed.
AS an aftermath Of the nam suit,
Judge Talbot is engaged this after
noon in arburating the, diferen ces
between Alberta & Sapguinet, Merke-
ley d Young and Euscagla & Zuniuo,
three of the defendants in the main
suit. BY the terms OF the settlement
OF the main suit these firms we're
given the right to the use OF 315 in
cbes of Spring water and l50 inches
OF fall water. Being unable to agree
among themselves as to the division
and first right to the use Of the water
set aside to them, they have appe aled
to Judge Talbot to settle their differ
en- ces.
In the settlement Of the main suit
the defendants mentioned above we're
given the first, second and third
rights to the use of the water set
aside to them; John Scott WAS given
the second right to the use of so in
ches OF Spring water; Mrs. Kennedy
the fonrth right to the use Of so in =
ches of Spring water and third right
to that amount OF Fall water; G. T.
Suttle, the fifth right to 100 inches of
Spring water and Mrs. Henry
the plaintiff. was given the sixth
right to the use of I25 inches
OF Spring water and the sec
ond right to 80 inches Of Fall water.
This divides up the waters of Smith
Creek among the itigants and places
Mrs. Henry in better position than
before she began the suit.
BY the terms of the settlement
each party pays his own costs and no
damages we're awarded.
The point upon which the settle
ment was made is that the title to the
land governs the right to the use of
the water. This beng the law, al
though part OF MrS. Henry's ranch
was settled and cultivated in 1867
she could prove title only from 1881
and her right TO the use of the water
dates from that time.

''The first engagement we had with

we captured nineteen with their arms
and ammunition. Toward evening we

The Spanish lost sixteen killed including

as follows:
I'm my opinion the rebels have under

of Aguinado. The Spaniards have lost
all during the time he has been here
and if our people don't hurry there won't
be any Spanish army left ut the end of
the fight.
THE American ships have taken no
part i'm the fighting. Neither boats nor
men have been landed and statements
to the contrary are false. Dispatches
from Manila say that Aguinaldo is doing
splendid work. Monday, last week, he
routed the Spaniards taking four hun
dred prisoners, among them twenty-eight
officers. On the Wednesday following
he took fifty prisoners and four field
pieces in a battle at Il point between
Cavitc and Manila.
