London. May 12.-The Rome CORE
spondent of the Times sends by mail a
long dispatch which the censor had re-
fused to allow to be transmitted by wire,
practically confirming the terrible nature
Of the rioting ut Milan and elsewhere.
The Times correspondent explains
that the bread issue is a mere preteXt fol
insurrection prepared beforehand by as
sociations of navies and railway en-
ployecs, in which a strong Socialist and
Republican leaven has long been work
ing. He says:
Besides many other proofs of this
statement it will suffice to say that the
rioting is confined to the richest districts
in the country. Another strong poll
tical motive underlying the movement is
the well known desire of the Vatican
and Clericals to ferment disorders.

of Savoy in favor of II republic which
might pave the way to a restoration OF

increased demand upon our
stock. Social leaders here
look to us for this sort of foot
wear-and from past expert
ences give us that confidence
which we so freely enjoy wher-

The brides of the month can
safely leave it to us to carry
out their ideas in the matter of
footwear to go with the we'd

satin of the same material as

contains almost every shade
and color usually worn. The

Who was temporary chairman Of the

Carr, q goldbug, who wrote letter to
the recent bankers convention en-
dorsing the Fowler bill to increase the
power Of national banks and more thor
oughly establish the gold standard.
Who is Colonel Paul B. Means, who
was a delegate to the convention?
Everybody knows that he is standing
attorney for ROthschild's railroad
trust, and that he opposed Mr.. Bryan
in the last campaign. He was not only
a delegate, but was elected q member
of the Democratic Executive Commit.

There was dele gate at the cOnven

named Byrd. Who is he? He was {
Palmer and Buckner elector in the las
campaign against Bryan.

ton named Beasley, who claimed t.
represent Beaufort county? He is ,
gOldbug from Baltimore who was i'm
ported into the State to attend tn,
convention, and as soon a. tn,
convention adjourned he at once re
turned to Baltimore, that hot bed o

These same influences exerted every

pies Party state convention which
met ia this city two weeks ago. Their
effort was to prevent the Popniist con-
vention from passing n resolution in
favor Of cooperation appointing q
committee to confer with the Demo
cratic convention.
They realized the force OF Mr.,
Brysns statement that one dollar
spent in keeping apart the silver
forces would Aid the gold standard ad'
vocates more than sixteen dollars ex'

silver and anti-monopoly men at TIT

BRYAN'S WARNING.

"Where the gold Democrats are
numerically strong they will insist
upon ignoring the Chicago platform,
but where they are numerically weak,
they will profess to accept the plat
form but will oppose every plan that is
calculated to bring success to the plat
fOrm."-W. j. Bryan.
That the above warning given by
Mr.. Bryan a few weeks ago was wise
and timely, recent events have amply
proven. We have all seen that in ev-
cry State where the gold Democrats
and the Mckinley Democrats and mo-
nopolists were numerically strong,
that is, where they composed a ma
jority Of the Democratic party, they
have squarely refused 20 endorse Bryan
and the Chicago platform. But where
this class Of Hanna agents in diguise
have been numerically weak, that is
composing less than . majority of the
Democratic party, they have pretend
ed to be for Bryan and the Chicago
platform, but have done just as Mr.
Bryan said they would do, oppose and
defeat every plan that would unite the
masses Of the people and win q victory
over gold and monopoly.
The action Of the Democratic State
Convention in Raleigh last week is one
of the latest and most striking cases in
point. A large majority of the ranh
and file of the Democratic party il
honestly for Mr.. Bryan and honestly
in favor Of his plan Of cooperation
1t is safe to say that more than three.
fourths of the voters of the Democra
tic party are in favor of cooperation
with the Populists to elect nine silver
Congressman and to elect an anti-mo
nopoly legislature. Bot the gold Dem.
ocrats and Mckinley Democrats ant
the railroad attorneys already hat
charge of the machinery of the party
and they succeeded in defeating tn,
will of the people and getting to Raj
eigh convention that has done exact
~ what Mr.. Bryan warned that sucl
agents in disguise would try, to do.
Thus. in spite Of Mr.. Bryan's warn
ing, the enemies of the people hav,
triumphed.
