The gold maniac in and out of CON

The gold maniac in and out of con-
gress keep up the cry of tie anighti.
ness of gold. God and gold alone
fights battles gold and gold alone
makes prosperity" This howl has
been iterated and reiterated till even
poor wretches who are pinched to
make both ends meet join in the cry.
1t is all monstrous hallucinatiou
when it is not a wiliful lie. Gold new
er fought a battle, never brought
prosperity, never did anything fol
the good of mankind. As meta
gold is the least useful in the whole
lot-cannot be mentioned at the same
time as iron, lead or zinc. II is men,
the husbands, sons and brothers of
the wives, mothers and sisters of the
land who do the fighting-and we de-
fly any gold lunatin in these United
States to show man. old or young,
rich or poor, who would not accept a
legal tender note in payment for his
time as readiiy as he would gold.
There is no such man in all America
even the bowling gold idiots would
take i, provided they would venture
in the fight. There is not mine
worker, laborer, mechanic or ma
chlnist in the country that would not
gladly take such notes in exchange
for all the iron and coal they could
dig, and for all the guns, cannon and
ammunition they could produce. Not
one. There is not farmer in
the United States that will not will
lingly aud gladly furnish the govern
ment with all the wheat, corn, food
stnffs, cattle, horses aud mules he has
to spare in exchange for Uncle Saln's
unlimited legal tender notes. Not
one. They have no nse for gold
they can neither eat, drink it nor
wear Tits only use even at the pres
ent time under the reign If the gold
robbers is as money-something to be
used in paying debts or purchasing
service. But there's the rub. Gold is
scarce, 1T can be cornered like any
other commodity, and this practical
~ destroys its use as a money. Until
this gold madness is stayed the peo-
pie will continue to be the dupes and
slaves of the gold shark The Kan
sas Sentinel.

The Country Editor.

In his speech in opposition to the
defunct Loud Bill, congressman
Champ Clark said good many good
things from among which we select
the following:
The country editor is the pack
horse of every community, the pro-
moter of every laudable enterprise,
the worst underpaid laborer in the
vineyard.
Counting his space IS his capital,
he gives more to charity, his means
considered, than any other member
of society.
He is a power in politics, pillar of
the church, q leader in the crusade
for better morals.
He is pre-eminently the friend OF
humanity. Liue upon line, paragraph
upon paragraph, day by day, he is
embalming in cold type the facts
from which the Heroditus, Tacitus
Sismondi or Macaulay of the future
viii write the history of our times.
He ioyfully chronicles our advent
into this world, briefly notes our
uprisings and downsittings and
sorrowiully records our exit from this
vale of tears.
He is the greatest and most in
senious of manufacturers, for while
others manufacture perishable stuffs
he is engaged in manufacturing im-
mortal statesmen out of raw-some-
times very raw-materials, an in

cannot protec He is

costing the expediency of making
cheese part of the army rations. 1t
would certainly be valuable addit-

would say, however, that if cheese De
added to the ration a reasonable

ALL DOING WELL.
Sick Soldiers in Local Hospitals Are
Improving.
Convalescents visit Roger Williams Park
Through Kindness Of Mrs. Sully.

The officials in charge OF the several
hospitals in this city report that the
sick soldiers brought from Montauk
Point are getting along remarkably
well, and many of them will be able
to leave the institutions in few days.
These cases have been reported to tn
military authorities, and as soon as the
necessary permission is received the
men will be allowed to go, and thus
room will be made for others who are
in need of tender and careful nursing.
Mrs. Daniel j. Sully has shown great
kindness to the sick soldiers, and yes
terday afternoon she furnished the
means for 10 OF them to be driven to
Roger williams Park. The carriages
stopped at the boathouse. where the
men were served with cooling drinks
and cigars by Mr.. Belts of the Casino.
Mai. Harcourt, acting for the Park
Commissioners, extended the use of a
steam launch. and the sick men great
ly enjoyed the seven-mile sail around
the lakes.
In the meantime subscriptions are
being solicited by the ST. Joseph's and
Homeopathic hospitals. and quite a
large number of donations have al
ready been received by these institu-
tions. The men are in need OF fresh
fruit and vegetables, and those who
desire to aid the sick soldiers can do so
by sending such articles of food to the
hospitals. where they will be very
gratefully received.

A MARQUIS
WANTS$30,OOO
He Sues the ESla'e Of His
Mother r-in-Law.
ON AMARRIAGE CONTRACT
Claims She Promised to Pay Him
That Amount Of Money
FOR MARRYING HER DAUGHTER

Boston, Mass. Sept. 14.-Marquis
Luigi Carcano of Italy has begun an
action for breach of contract against
the estate OF the late Emily Merriam
to recover $4,000.
In his declaration he says the testa-
trix entered into contract with him
wherein, in consideration of certain
things to be done by him, especially in
consideration of his marrying her
daughter. Caroline M. Soren. she agreed
to pay him, as a marriage portion, $780,
900 within five years from the date of
the marriage. 1t was stated in the con-
tract that the money should be paid,
provided that within the five years a
certain estate in Cambridge, owned by
the defendant, should be sold. In case
such sale did not take place the mar
riage portion should be postponed until
the end OF the year 1897.
The plaintiff says that soon after the
signing of the contract august IA, 1870
he married the daughter of the testa-
trix. The property at Cambridge was
not sold, and the plaintiff claims that
the marriage portion became due and
payable the last day of December. 1897.
He now seeks to recover the full
amount as nothing was paid on the
marriage contract. There are number
of witnesses, including two who have
journeyed from Milan.
