Louisville Dispatch is the only
democratic paper published In
Louisville. 1t stands squarely on
the Chicago platform. 1t is not on

eighteen months battleing against
adverse circumstances, but is to
day the best news medium in the
South. And its Motto-If you see
it in the Dispatch it's SO; if it's so
it is always in the Dispatch, has
beer fully verified during the Ameri-
can-Spanish War, during which the
superiority Of its news service has
been daily apparent.
The Dispatch news service is
furnished by The New York Sun,
The Chicago Inter Ocean, The
Northern Press Association and The

The Basis OF Commerce.

To my mind 1t appears preposterous
to suppose that such an enormous fact
as the commerce Of the world can be
made to rest upon three hundred and
ninety-three cubic yards of gold! That,
according to the best calculation, is the
SO called "usable supply" of the yell
low metal. II this bulk should be cast
into pellets OF the size of small hazel
nuts, there would not be one pellet
apiece for the sons Of men--to say
nothing about the daughters Of woman.
1t is literally true that, If all the gold
existing should be made into pills, the
worlxingmen of the world could swal-
low 1t all before breakfast. and not
six hundred Of them would ever know
the difference. John Clark Fidpath. In

FROM OUR FIELD MARSHAL.

A junta OF Mark Hanna's self-styled
Populist commentaries are keeping
themselves busy trying to break up the
triple alliance They are just now in
dustriously circulating stories to the
effect that Chairman Jones once intro
duced bill with the purpose OF retir-
ing the greenbacks. At the same tfnse
they neglect to state that Mr.. Jones
bill, as written by himself, replaced
the greenbacks with form of paper
tfioRey wholly free from the exception
clause that has of late years made
greenbacks a bankers money instead
Of peoples money. Summed UP, Sena-
tor Jones bill, had it been passed,
would have given us free silver coin
age, ffes gold coinage and paper
money that would exchange for either
at the option Of the government,
clearly 6 paper money that would cir
culate for eternity without redemption
and at the same time would put an
end to bond issues of any kind. No
iriea&sfe ever met with such solid op-
position from Wall street. Stimuli
taneously 1t has been endorsed alike by
Populists and by Democrats and by Sill
yer Republicans. II there is anything
needed 10 Cement the triple alliance we
know of nothihs that will do the work
to better advantage than agitation over
this same bill.
Pepulists, Democrats and Silver Re-
bubffcans, through the good offices OF
the chsifmeR Of the respective national
committees, havs agreed ON fusion In
Oregon. Populist parsy name goes on
the official ballot. Democrats and Sill
yer Republicans will vote the slcket
straight. Ample representation M
given men of all parties as to places 10
be contested for. Chairman Jones OF
the Democratic national committee, mas
issued special address, clearly snow
ing why such fusion is necessary. The
more we read this address the more we
are convinced that a square deal ia
going to be the order all along the line
FROM how on till 1900. The people OF
the United States will hear the first
gun fired by the triple alliance In Gre
gon in June next.

Treatment Of Hardy Plants.

Just at this season is the best DOS.
slble time for planting out all hardy
plants, shrubs and trees. Such plants
will not require protection, however,
until December in an ordinary season.
md will do better if allowed to be un.
protected until that time. Many
shrubs, trees and other hardy plants
IAN stand wonderful degree of cold,
yet the action of freezing and thawing
IS fatal. For this reason very tender
shrubs should be planted on the north
side of the house, where they are not
80 likely to winter-kill. It is the Gus.
;om to burn leaves as soon as they
have fallen from the trees, but if they
Ire heaped in some out-of-the-way
corner and allowed to decay they will
contribute very valuable material
when the time comes for making up
The garden in the spring. Leaves are
also one of the finest of materials for
protecting beds Of roses and other
small plants.-Woman's Home Com

supposed to..be dirk, which penetrated
the right breast about two inches above

direction of the heart. The right wrist
showed q bruise, which was caused by
some blunt instrument. Owing to the
lateness of the hour, the Try adjourned
TIL Saturday morning at 10 am. In
the meantime the justice instructed
Constable Roberts and J. w. Mason,
deputy sheriff, to look up witnesses and
have them ready to appear at the next
sitting OF the coroner's jury. At the
appointed hour eight persons were in
troduced, six of whom were negroes,
and the Investigation was proceeded
with. Much, if not all, the evidence
was OF circumstantial character. Two
OF the main witnesses examined, how.
ever, were contradictory and damaging
TO themselves, which caused the jury
to bring in verdict that the deceased,
unknown to them, came to bis death by
a puncture wound from a sharp instru-
ment, Inflicted by either Fred Watson
or Guy johnson, and requested that
they be committed to jail and held for
trial before the district court. They
were placed in charge of Constable W.

dria Jail Saturday evening, where they
are now behind the bars. There was in.
tense indignation felt and expressed
by all classes of the citizens at the das-
tardly crime committed. All are will
ing that the accused shall have a fair
and impartial trial rather than mob
law should be called on to bring dis.
credit to the community. A short de-
scrlption may lead to the Identification
