RAIDER CONVINCED

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7.-According
to a promise made to Durrant on We'd
nesday that he would attend him on the
scaffold, Rev. William RAIDER went to
San Quentin by the first train today.
When he was informed that Edward
Davis had offered his services, had
been temporarily accepted and had then
been set aside pending the call for
Father Lagan, Mr.. RAIDER went to the
warden's office and sought an inter-
view with the Durrants, father and
mother. Mrs. Durrant said they had all
ready sent for Father Lagan, and later
told Mr.. RAIDER that Theodore had de-
cided to become Catholic. With refer
ence to his position in the matter, Mr..
RAIDER this evening said in part:
"That Father Lagan was asked to
officiate was no great surprise to me.
more mysterious than clear My own
opinion Is that Theodore Durrant knew
of my late belief in his guilt. In our last
interview l was convinced beyond a
doubt that he had knowledge of the
Emanuel church murders, and no one
need fear for moment that an innocent
man has been executed, or one who was
totally ignorant of the church atroci-
ties

The Trust lIa,rI.

Robbed by trusts" shouts the Man
chester Democrat; and it adds: "To-
day 1t is tho whisky trust. Yesterday
1t was the plate glass trust. To-mor-
row II will be some other trust. Every
one of these trusts are protected by
the republican administration" What
Is the use of INDUCING in that sort of
idiocy? You might rs well say that the
trusts are protected by the Manches-
ter Democrat. Trusts are universal.
and the majority of the trusts of the
United States are operated by demo-
Gratis, as an examination of the po-
litical faith ofthe owners of trusts win
fully prove. The very worst trust that
has verattempted to Cypress the peo-
pie of the United States is the silver
kings trust, and the Manchester Dem.

forts to increase it's profits more than
500 per cent. per day! II the silver
kings trust could have gained posses
sion of the government It would have
been more oppressive and ruinous than

known.-Iowa State Register.

COLLISION AT SEA.
Foggy Weather Causes n Catastrophs
which Results In the Loss
of sixteen Lives.

New York, Aug. 26.-The Thingvalla
lire steamer Norge, which arrived
here, reports that she sunk the French
fishing schooner Locoquette. of Bay
onne. France. on the Grand banks.
The captain and eight seamen were
saved. Sixteen went down with the
unfortunate vessel.
On the day of the accident, between
three and four o'clock In the after
noon, the weather was foggy. but not
so thick that the vessels speed was re-
duced. Capt. Rnudsen said he could
see aboutsthre. cables lengths ahead.
The wind was fairly brisk from the
west-southwest, when vessel sud-
denly doomed up from the north with
sails full and stood directly across the
bow of the steamer. The bells were
rung to stop and back at full speed.
but II was too late to check the steam
er's Roadway. The stranger. a fishing
schooner fell across the bow. and with
crash vas foyeed over and sunk.
Three men sprang aboard the Norge
The passengers of the Norge, most OF
whom were about the decks. rushed
about in alarm at the shock, but were
soon quoted when they learned that
the steamer was uninjured. A boat
was lowered and six men and dog
were picked UP. The vessel sank al.
most Immediately, and Ia sinking car
ried with her 10 o. her crew. Capt.
Knudsen, of the Norge, said that us
steam vessel he was obliged to keep
out of the way Of all sailing craft. but
that this was time when the sailing
vessel could do more to help herself
than the steamer. The latter was go
ing ahead at full speed, for the fog was
not. in the judgment of the captain,
sufficient to reduce Roadway.

THE SOUND MONEY OUTLOOK.
Prospect of Favorable Action by
Congress on the Currency
Question.

Chairman II. II. Hanna, Of the mon
etary commission, has addressed a
letter to the business interests con-
tanning a statement as to the present
condition of currency reform. In the
address he expresses the opinion tha.
the prospect for favorable action by
congress is good.
"While appreciating the forco and
influence upon the next election that
would surely have followed If an af-
frmative action could have been had
during the session just closed" says
Mr.. Hanna, "the committee is glad to
assert at this period that, everything
considered, the present status is prob
ably more favorable to ultimate legis-
lation than would have been the case
had number of leading republicans
in the house disapproved of the action
sought during the session"
The conflicting interests among
those who were in practical agreement
as to the need of currency reform have
been partially, if not entirely, recon-
ciled. All these advocates of sound
money are cautioned againstlany laxi-
ty of effort in the fall elections. Mr..
Hanna thinks there is every reason
for the friends of the cause to enter
tain the most positive hope of early
success, but to make assurance doubly
sure the most determined spirit should
be shown in the struggle yet to come.
The success of the work is all the
more desirable in view of the new
trade certain to come to American
shores. Any misstep in financial leg
islation might annul all the fruits of
the war and cost more than the mil
lions paid out to bring Spain to her
senses.-Cincinnati Commercial Ga

DON'T WANT BRYAN.
The Chicago Peace Jubilee Can Well
Dispense with the Cheap
Money Moses. ~

The chairman of the peace jubilee
question whether William J. Bryan
shall be invited to be present at the
jubilee and make speech has not been
considered yet. If the question Is
brought up at any future time II
should not be considered favorably.
For what has Bryan done in war or
peace to entitle him to such distinc-
ton?
If 1t should be suggested to the COM
mittee that he be invited to attend the
peace jubilee, will 1t be because Of his
advocacy of sixteen to one" and of a
change by congress of the money
standard of this country whereby OBJ
legations contracted on the basis of
the worlds money standard and of
100-oent dollars may be liquidatcd re-
troactively in 44-cent dollars? If Bry-
an is to be recognized" at all in con-
nection with the jubilee It must be on
account of his advocacy of dishonest
monetary policy as scoundrellyas II
devised by men who had learned their
morals IN penitentiary. To his sup
port Of that policy and to nothing else
does Bryan owe the notoriety he en-
joys.
The adoption by the government of
Rryan's financial schemes would rob
the working classes of this country of
billions of dollars, the hard-earned
savings of their incessant toll. 1t
would create panic which would
PROSTATE industry and deprive mil
lions Of wage-earners of work. Those
who did have employment would find
the purchasing power of their wages
cut down nearly 60 per cent, because
they would be paid IN cheap silver dol
lars instead of what the Bryanites call
appreciated" gold dollars.
Considering what Bryan stands
for, he is the last man to be invited
TO participate in public rejoicings over
any event. He is the last man whom
those chicagoans who comprehend the
immoral and destructive nature of his
doctrines want to see or hear. Poor,
deceived, credulous ignorati may
yearn to gaze upon his fixed smile and
listen TO his stereotyped speeches. But
they were in the minority here two
years ago, and there are not as many
of them now as there were then, for
some CT the men who voted for him IN
1896 have learned that he is their en-
envy and not their friend.
Bryan has won no prominence as O.
soldier. He is a colonel of volunteers
who has seen no service. Bryan has
been prominent as a politician, but his
prominence is of an unenviable nature.
which would make his presence at the
contemplated peace jubilee undesira-
BILE He is the advocate and represent
alive of doctrines which if enacted
into laws would inflict more injury on
the material interests of this country
than Spain could have inflicted with
all continental Europe as an ally. lie
would be wet blanket on the jubilee.
Therefore it may be taken for granted
tie committee Will not invite him.
