In view of the great principles involved, and of the danger so close at hand, We urge the people every where to arouse themselves and at once to take steps to save them selves and their children from the letters now being openly forged to bind them. In recent years there have been a number of instances of congressional districts where the advocates of gold and monopoly were largely outnurnbered by their own opponents, and where, never theless by failure to unite and act together, friends of the gold stand ard have been successful. Thus, as the result of personal or partisan wrangle, the cause of truth and justice has been oyershadowed, the interest of humanity ignored, and the greatest good to the govern ment subordinated to an ignoble strife. We appeal to yon to let this not be the case again. Our only danger is in division. If we are in earnest We must have har- mony among ourselves. If there should be those who would divide Us let them be summarily and em- phatically rebuked by the people, who have none but high and pa triotic motives. After the bold declaration of the administration in favor of the gold standard, no sin cere bimetallist can ever again, by his vote or influence, give aid or encouragement to the Republican party.
 The issue is joined we cannot avoid 1t if we would. Either the friends of bimetallism or the advo- cates of the gold standard, trusts and monopolies must succeed. Who is not for us is against us. We are asking no man to abandon his party or change his politics; we ask no one to yield any principle, but in this great contest we do ap- peal to all good men to stand solid ly together for liberty and humani- ty, and strike down forever this conspiracy of gold and monopoly.

The United States and Cuba Get Sup
plies at Kansas City.
From the Kansas City Star.
The government of the United States has
increased its orders for cavalry horses. To
quote a horse buyer, who talked about il
today, 'the government is buying cavalry
horses night and day." The insurgent gov
eminent of Cuba is also buying horses and
plenty of them, and Kansas City is furnish
ing most of the animals for both govern
ments.
Rufus E. Eddy of Cameron, No., buyer
for ]. d. Guyton & Co. of St. Louis, who
hold most of the government contracts
for the eqdines tor the cavalry and artil-
lery branch of the army, spends two days
of every week In Kansas City getting all
the horses of this class that he can. He
buys from the horse and mule markets
sale barns, or any one who has the right
sort of animals. Said Mr.. Eddy today:
There is big increase in the number
of cavalry horses bought by the govern.
ment. There is more of a demand thar
ever, and all the good, sound animals fiji
for service and up to the requirements are
taken. OF course the government is buy.

more than usual"
The government inspection takes place al
Lathrop, Mo- The inspectors come from
spection at Lathrop ard were accepted by
the government. One carload of them Went
to Fort Riley and the rest to various forts
Three weeks ago 101 animals were bought
by the government inspectors.
AS is well known, the requirements fol-
horses for the army are somewhat rigid
For the cavalry they must be of solid col.

as high as 500 for such animals. For the
artillery service the requisites are the
same, except more weight is demanded in
the horse used for the big guns.
1t is expected among horse dealers thai
contracts for more army horses will be lei
by the government in a few days.
Heretofore only mules have been pur-
chased in Kansas City by the Cuban gov.
eminent. but it is now sending here for its
horses. Senior Don Jose Lopez was in the
city last week with A. Utget. inspector fol
the Cuban government. figuring with Cot.
tingham Bros and other firms for a big
bunch of horses for the Cuban mounted
forces. They wanted 900 cavalry horses
PEE and Mr.. Utget returned to New Orleans
to receive further instructions. and it is
expected that their order. will be placed
here tomorrow or Wednesday. In that case
the animals will be bought in Missouri
Kansas, Iowa and adjacent states.
Until the present Cuban buyers have
purchased their horses in Texas. Kansas
City has furnished their mules, but this Is
the first order here for horses. dealer
said this morning that within the last year
10000 mules have been sent from Kansas
City to Cuba. Comparatively few have been
shipped this winter, most of them going
during the eight months preceding. Last
week 24O CT the long-eared variety were
shipped to the island. but this represents
most of the activity in the Cuban pur-
chases of recent months.

From the st. James' Gazette
The Duke of York was walking along
P.ccadilly the other day with the Hon.
Derek Keppel He vas not generally rec
ognized, and remained for some seconds In
the little throng which always collects at
the crossing to st. James street. At last
he made a dash for the shelter. Soon af-
terward the constable on duty stopped the
traffic for the pedestrians to cross over the
street The duke, however, was still left
standing ON the shelter, much to the dis
comfort of two young men in a hanson
cab, who Immediately recognized the
prince, but the constable declined to let
their cabman pass on. At length the Duke
of York made another dash and ran round
the horses head. and at length landed
safely on the other side. by which time he
had been recognized all round.

In the matter Of his experiences James
Hisey tells much that his brother has al
ready related. In the course Of his narra-
tive. however, he says:
when we were born the nurse tied a
string on one of us In order to tell which
was born first. They say william was
born first, but we do not know much about
that ourselves. havs been told that I'M
stances Of such close resemblances are
rare, even with babies. There was time
when our parents could hardly tell us apart,
and when one of us was guilty of any mis-
chiaf both were whipped, In order that the
guilty one should not escape.
I'm school our teachers couli never tell
US apart, and the only way they could dis
tinguish US at all was to have US sit In Diff
ferent carts Of the room, and they never
were sure whsther we were In our right
seats Many times we have danced In the
same set and changed partners and back
again without the fact ever becoming
known. Often we would go Into room to-
gethsr. One OF us would leave the room
and none could tell which Of US had gone
out. When the missing one came back all
that could be done was to guess which lad
been away.

Disaster to Steamers Carrying Klondiks
Enthusiasts.

San Francisco, July 1s.-It is reported
at st. AIichaels on July 7, when the st.
Paul sailed for this city that the Cone.
maugh from Seattle was overrun in the
Behring sea by q hurricane and her tow,
a river steamerEladen with stores, was
lost. The steamer and cargo were valued
Mt $4,000.
Two harges towed by the Alaska Com
mercial company's steamer Portland were
lost in the same storm. They cost about
$4,000
A similar fate overlook a new river
boat towed by the National City. The
loss IN the latter case was $50, 200. The
Yukon river is unusually low this season,
and boats that are already at ST. Michaels
nave slight chance of reaching Dawson.
When the Belle came down, she passed
three steamers stuck in the mud at Fort
Yukon. The water in the river is not
deeper than three feet in many places
