SILVER MEN. ALL TOGETHER !

The money question will be the para
mount political issue until it is settled
right.
War, pestilence or famine may tempo
rarily cause the people to lose sight of
the robbery under the gold standard, but
they are too well educated now to be
misled into thinking that any real and
widespread prosperity can come to all
the people under the operations of the
gold standard.
In Congress, the divisions of parties
is clear. The Republicans and gold
Democrats are trying to take advantage
of war to issue unnecessary gold bonds.
The Democrats. silver Republicans and
Populists are united in opposition to that
conspiracy which masquerades as pa
triotism.
II the Democrats. Populists and silver
Republicans can unite in Congress they
ought to unite everywhere and present
an unbroken front to the gold conspira-
tors and monopolists who are always
working for the same end. IL there is
not patriotism wisdom and statesman
ship enough to drop minor issues and
wage the great fight for the paramount
isspqx they and their children will have
to live and die under the crushing domi-
nation Of the gold standard.
The silver men who advocate fighting
each other instead of fighting the com
mon enemy are the best allies, even
when honest, of the gold-bugs TO be
found anywhere.

AN EXAMPLE FOR ALL PUBLIC MEN.

The full sketch of Mr.. Gladstone, pub
lished yesterday, leaves little to say of
his public career He was easily the
greatest man of his age, the most versa
tile, the most accomplished, the mos
vigorous. the most valiant champion of
the oppressed, and the purest type Of
the Christian statesman.
In church and state, Mr.. Gladstone
held unquestioned primacy. He was bet
ter known as an able defender Of the
Christian religion than any living clergy
man, and though the busiest of public
men, he was never too busy to take a
deep interest in religious activities. II
this, as well as in his high public idea
and devotion to the cause of the Cypress
ed, he has set an example for all public
men for all time.

us? We have had to scrape the whole
country to get together a sufficient force
of regulars to make an effort against
Cuba. Commodore Dewey's astonlsh-
ing success at Manila has rendered 1t
necessary for us to clinch it by military
occupation, and on what have we to de-
pend! Not more than sixteen to twenty
companies of infantry, eight of artillery
and about ten to twelve troops OF cav
airy are Immediately available ON the
Pacific, and our reliance must be placed
for any expedition on the universal green
volunteer forces of the Pacific coast
States. These must be whipped into
shape after we have landed at Manila.
1t is useless to enlarge on the dangerous
conditions which accompany such an in
vading force" Such a condition is bad;
it does not belong to the volunteer sys-
TEN, however, but is due to the vacll-
lating policy pursued in high official
quarters which delayed action until war
was on. When the Union was fighting
better men than it will be likely to meet
in Manila, it relied on these same green
volunteers" They saved it then against
the flower of southern sodiery, why fear
for them now?

Some weeks ago we published the

During the campaign of 1896 Senator
Wolcott, of Colorado, supported McKin-
ley on the ground that it meant interna-
tional bi-metalism. Nobody believed in
his honesty then. Now that he has vo-
ted with the Republicans for an issue of
gold bonds. he has shown that he was
gold emissary all the time. The man
who believes in silver and affiliates with
or supports or fuses with Republicans is
hypocrite, no matter what he calls
himself.

HENRY WYATT.
Richmond Dispatch.

Richmond Dispatch.
A friend of the Dispatches writes us
that Henry Wyatt, who was the first
Confederate soldier killed in battle, was
Il native of Richmond, and lived here
until he was II years of age, when his
father removed to North Carolina, in one
of the regiments of which State the
youth enlisted.
The history of Wyatt and of the battle
in which he was killed has been over
and over again published in this paper.
We think it unnecessary to repeat it. He
enlisted and died as a North Carolina
soldier, and must be credited to that
State. If he were living and were in
need. he could draw pension from
North Carolina, but not from Virginia.
Besides, if our recollection is not greatly
at fault. at least one of his parents was
of North Carolina birth.
Again, the Dispatch has letters saying
that young Wyatt was not" the first
Confederate killed, ETC. We do not as
sert that he was. Captain Mari, in Eau
quier, and two of our soldiers in what IS
now West Virginia, had been killed be-
fore Wyatt was. Our information IS
however, that Wyatt was "the first Con
federate soldier killed in battle"

MARRIAGE BY INJUNCTION,
Unusual Method Adopted to Preven

Unusual Method Adopted to Prevent
an ElOpement.
Marriage by injunction is the latest
feature of South Dakota's jurispru-
dence. Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Pruisner,
well-to-do Russians near Kuhn. recent
ly arranged to marry their daughter
Lena to Nicholas Bataglea, neighbor-
ing farmer. But Miss Pruisner loved an
other-Alexander HELM, a worthy
youth, who but for his poverty would
have been as desirable a sutton as Bat
aglea in the eyes of Lena's parents.
From faithless friend of Helms
the Pruisners learned that the former
intended to elope with their daughter
on the eve of the wedding day. The
aid of neighboring justice of the peace
was invoked, an injunction secured
against the elopement, copy of the
writ served on HELM and an officer sta
toned on the Pruisners' premises to ar
rest him should he presume to set the
law at defiance AS was anticipated,
he came despite the Injunction, and
was duly taken into custody and
locked up.
Before he could secure a bond Lena
was married to the man she did not
love. Public sympathy is on HELM s
side, and the justice of the peace may
find himself in trouble for interfering
in an affair of the kind.

ground of st. Callistus was lighted, and
