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
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 force and
influence upon the next election that
would surely have followed if an af-
firmative 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 a 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 against any laxi-
y
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 i. 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 mill
lions paid out to bring Spain to her
senses.-Cincinnati Commercial Ga.

FALSE EVIDENCE.
Officer Who Manufactured 1t Con-
fesses and Suicides.
Lieut. Col. Henry, ot the French Army. Ad-
mits His Guilt in Forging the Docu-
ment that Sent Capt. Dreyfus to
a Living Tomb and then
Takes His Own Life,

Paris, Sept. 1.-The arrest of Lieut..
Col. Henry on the discovery that he
is the author of an important letter
which figured in the Dreyfus ease, is
one OF the most sensational develop
ments in this extraordinary affair.
Col. Henry has been the champion of
the army against Col. Picquart, with
whom he fought duel. This new de-
velopment alters the aspect of both
the Dreyfus and the Zola cases and
nullities the evidence of Gems. PellieuX
and Boisdetfre and the declarations of
the minister for war, NJ. Cavaignac, in
the chamber of deputies.
As soon as NJ. Cavaignac assumed
the Office of minister for war he
charged the official bureau to make a
thorough research of the Dreyfus case,
and it was this inquiry which resulted
in the discovery of documents lately
read in the chamber of deputies by NJ.
Cavaignac, showing that proof of the
guilt of Dreyfus was forged. When
Col. Henry was summoned to the min
istry for war and questioned by NJ.
Cavaignac, in the presence of Gen.
Boisdeffre and others. he at first
affirmed the authenticity of the in
eliminating document. But when dis
crepancies were pointed out, he at first
admitted adding sentences and finally
confessed to fabricating the whole let
ter.
Col. Henry confessed to having COM
mitted forgery, owing to the absolute
necessity for finding proofs against
Dreyfus." 1t is understood that the
document in question is the letter
which hitherto has been alleged to
have been written by the German mill
tary attache to the Italian military
attache in October, 1896.
1t is also said that when the inter
pellation in the Dreyfus case was com
ing up in the chamber of deputies this
letter was secretly communicated to
the court-martal and was the chief
evidence upon which Dreyfus was con-
victed. The anti-Dreyfus papers are
dumbfounded at the arrest of the
colonel.
Col. Henry's confession threatens to
rclindle the Dreyfus agitation more
heatedly than ever, and seems likely
to shake confidence in the army.
II is reported that at yesterdays
cabinet meeting the ministers admit
ted that a revision of the Dreyfus trial
was unavoidable.
Col. Henry was attached to the war
department when Dreyfus was con-
victcd. and he was one of the promi-
nent witnesses who testified unfavora-
bly, to NJ. Iola during the latter's sem
sational trial on the charge of libel
ing militar, officials.
Gen. Boisdetfre. Chief of the general
staff of the French army, has rendered
his resignation to the government.
Gen. Roisdetfre, in his letter of resig
nation. explains that he resigns ow-
ing to his misplaced confidence in
Lieut.. Col. Henry, which led him to
present as genuine what was forged
evidence.
Col. Henry shielded yesterday by
cutting his throat with a razor.

CAME ON q CATTLE SHIP.
Men of "A Massachusetts Regiment Arrive
at Montauk from Santiago After Noy-
age that Proved Fatal to II of Their
Number.

New York, Sept. 1.-The transports
Allegheny and Panther arrived at
Montauk Point yesterday from San
tiago. On board the Allegheny are
eight companies of the Ninth Massa
chusetts, in all G25 soldiers, of whom
145 are sick. Fourteen men died on
the voyage and all were buried al sea.
This is the largest number of deaths
at sea on any of the incoming trans
ports and the deaths were mainly in
the cases of those who were critically
i'll when placed aboard at Santiago.
DR.. Magruder and inspecting officers
say the Allegheny is a cattle ship, not
even fit for well troops, much less for
sick soldiers.
The Panther carries 106 members of
the Ninth Massachusetts and 15 are
on the sick list. One man died and
was buried at sea.
Some of the men who were taken
on board the Allegheny at Santiago
are said to have been so sick that it
was never expected that they would
live until the end of the voyage. Many
of those who died during the voyage
had to be carried on board. The trip
was long one, as the ship sailed
on August "a. The Allegheny's condi-
tion must have been bad before the
troops were put on her and. according
to DR.. Magruder, they were frightful
before they arrived here.
There is no change in the program
of the government as to getting all the
volunteers out of Camp Wikoff just
as fast as they can be sent away.
The general hospital is getting
smaller rapidly now and despite the
fact that there are new arrivals every

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

The chairman of the peace Jubilee
executive committee states that the
question whether William J. Bryan
jubilee and make a speech has not been
considered yet If the question is
brought up at any future time il
should not be considered favorably.
For what has Bryan done in war or
peace to entitle him TO such distinc-
ton?
If ii should be suggested to the COM
mittee that he be invited to attend the
peace jubilee, will it be because of his
advocacy of sixteen to one" and ofA
change by congress of the none,
standard of this country whereby OBJ.
legations contracted on the basis of
tie worlds money standard and of
100-ccnt dollars may be liquidated re-
troactively in Accent dollars? If Bly,
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 scoundrelly as il
devised by men who had learned their
morals IN a 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
tie working classes of this country of
billions of dollars, the hard-earped
savings of their incessant toll 1t
would create a panic which would
inl11ctrv and do
lions of wage-earners of work. Those
who did have employment would find
the purchasing power of their wages
cut down nearly GO 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 compre hend 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-
emy and not their friend.
Bryan has won ne prominence as a
soldier. He is a colonel of volunteers
who has seen no service. Bryan has
been prominent as politician, but his
prominence is of an unenviable nature.
W hieh would make his presence at the
contemplated peace jubilee und.sira-
BILE. He is the advocate and represent
ative of doctrines which if enacted
into laws would infiict more injury on
the material interests of this country
than Spain could have inflicted with
all continental Europe as an ally. lie
would be a wet blanket on the jubilee.
Therefore it may be taken for granted

The Trust Howl.

Robbed by trusts" shouts the Man
chester Democrats; and it adds: "To-
day it is the whisky trust. Yesterday
1t was the plate glass trust To-mor-
row it will be some other trust. Every
one of these trusts are protected by
the republican administration" What
is the use of indulging in that sort Of
idiocy? You might as 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 of the owners of trusts wiz
fully prove. The very worst trust that
has ever attempted to oppress the peo-
pie of the United States is the silver
kings trust, and the Manchester Dem
ocrat supported that trust in it's eff
fort. to increase its profits more than
SOC per cent. per day! If the silver
kings trust could have gained posses
sion Of the government it would have
been more oppressive and ruinous than
all the other trusts the world has ev"
known.-1owa State Register.
