SigSbcc Challenged.

Toronto, Ontario, April 25.-Licu-
tenant Carranza OF the suite OF Senior
Polo Bernabe, was seen today reIa-
tive to the eport that he had cl1al-
lenged Captain Sigsbee of the Maine
to fight a duel. The lieutenant cor
roborated the story. He said he had
sent his challenge, and that If he did
not receive an answer from Captain
Sigsbee by the 2Sth he would brand
him as a coward. Should Captain
Sigsbee refuse the lieutenant will
then challenge Consul General Lee.

Judge l. N. Maxwell, who was one of
the Bryan electors for the state of
Washington, has returned to the re-
publican party and expects his state to
do the same thing. In explaining his
action he says: THE silver issue is
dead-dead as a mackerel-and the

The sailor man, when in deep water, can

Some of the noncombatants who sailed the

An artist who boarded grimy tugboat
clad in white linen found his coat covered
with coal dust when he was day from port

with sea water and fell to work. When he
had scrubbed the garment for 20 minutes he
was satisfied.
Then it occurred to him to starch the coat

watch.
He was perturbed. The crew laughed and
he rebuked them. They bided their time.
Then one of them told the artist that the

color was to tie line to it, heave it over.

BEST TIME TO KICK A MAN.
First Save His Life and Then You
May Apply Your Boot
with Impunity.

Perk and Quirk were walking along tn.
crowded street, feeling very kindly toward
themselves and the rest of humanity. Just
as they reached the middle of crossing
one of those aggravating individuals who
walk one way and look another stepped d.
rectly in front of cable car which was
rounding the corner. OF course the car had
no fender on it. Nearly everybody in the
vicinity yelled, and naturally the Devil.
dered man looked in the wrong direction.
Quirk didn't yell, though He jumped to
the side of the track and grabbed the man
by the collar and yanked him clear of the
tracks and almost out of his shoes. Then
he gave him another ferocious jerk to get
him out of the way of an express wagon,
and, getting him at proper range at the same
time, he gave the poor man Kick that must
have driven his spine up into his hat. And
with the kick Quirk roared:
"Confound you, keep your eyes open when
you are on the street,"
Quirk looked unutterably savage, but Perk
tottered to the curb, sat down aud laughed
until the tears came. Then he said:
"You are the only big enough idiot on
earth to save mans life and then kick
him for it."-Chicago Times Herald.

SILVER is THE ISSUE.
Democratic State Conventions Have
Merely Evnded, Not Re-
pudiated 1t.

A simple and conclusive test enables
any rational citizen willing to look the
facts in the face to determine for him
self what the real and predominant
issue of the campaign just closed is. We
refer to the democratic state platforms
Of this year How many of them are
faithful to the national platform of
'96, and how many have rejected that
platform or ignored it?
1t is certainly significant that not a
single instance of actual, direct repudi-
alton of free silver and Organism can be
found. Not one convention has eX-
pressly recanted the heresies and follies
of the national platform. Ten conven-
tons have passed the silver question
over in silence, and for the sake of ac-
curacy and record we may enumerate
them. The state conventions silent on
silver were: Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware.
Maryland, Louisiana, Nebraska, North
Dakota and South Dakota.
Sixteen democratic state conventions
have expressly and unequivocally in
dorsed the Chicago platform, and Is
conventions have reaffirmed belief in
free coinage at sixteen to one without
referring to the Chicago platform. The
question is whether the ten conven-
tions which, out of mere temporary
expediency, ignored silver this year
shall be allowed to outweigh the posi-
tive and unmistakable declarations of
the overwhelming majority. We do
not see how it can be answered in the
affirmative.
Evasion is not reputation, especially
when it is well understood that the
evasion is not due to change of con-
viction, but merely to recognition OF
the fact that local success might be
endangered by fidelity to the partys
general doctrines. The great consider
alton TO emphasize is that democratic
victory in the congressional elections
would so encourage the free silver dem
ocrats as to insure the triumphant re-
vival of their cause and the complete
suppression of the timid and doubtful
clements in their ranks. The politi
clans whose opportunist sagacity is re
| sponsible for the discretion of the ten
silent conventions would find them,
selves swamped and utterly without
power and influence. The radicals anC
fanatics would be on top again, and
the hysterical politics of the Bryan con
vention would be once more in the as
| cendant.
The only way to prevent free silver
from again being presidential cam
paign issue is to prove that the tida
wave of 1896 has not yet spent itself
that the people are as vigilant and de
termined as ever to withhold conf
dence from the party of reaction ant
alization.-Chicago Post.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1898-12-17

About half of the foregoing classes
of working people were legal voters in
1890. The wage-workers of this year,
1898, must number over one-sixth more
than in 1890, or total exceeding IT,
000,000-half of whom are voters.
Now all this mighty mass of people
are working for wages, paid in gold
standard money, and have received no
other kind of money since gold resump-
ton in 187S-for the greenbacks
reached with gold that year, and they
were getting three dollars in gold

rison's administration closed in 1s93)
to two dollars in gold in 1878. when
specie payments were resumed on the
gold standard.
Resumption took place on the gold
standard and the wage-working masses
of the working people, women as well
as men, have been paid in gold or
money as good ever since 1878. And the
official Investigations of congress,
made in 1890 and 1893, show that there
was a gradual advance or increase in
wages in gold of just about three per
cent. year from 1878 to the panic of
1898.
Now, assuming that the average
wages in gold of adult wage-workers
of all classes, trades and occupations
was $500 per annum in 1S77-'7S. the fol-
lowing has been the result since then
to the workers:

Thus the official statistics show that
from the time of resumption in 1S7S-'79
on the gold standard there was no de-
cline in wages. but, on the other hand,
steady rise of about three per cent a
year in all trades and occupations,
which makes an increase in wages of
1925 from 1878 to the panic of 1893 on
a wage or salary commanding $500 a
year for men and women per capita on
a broad average, and in the same pro-
portion or ratio for the other higher or
lower rates of compensation.
And during all these 20 consecutive
years the gold wages of more than a.,

ries and comforts of life for working
men and their families by reason of
new labor-saving inventions, making
labor more efficient and productive,
and consequently commodities have
been growing cheaper in the market,
while the gold wages of the workers
have increased. u
The simple fact is the working
classes of this country have been buy
ing the necessaries and comforts of life
cheaper for themselves and their fam
lilies all these years and getting at the
same time higher pay in gold.

has been their salvation.-Chicago

This leaves the sound money democ-
lacy in a hopeless minority, and indi-
Gates that it will have little or no infu-
ence in the next national convention.
But notwithstanding the preponder-
ance of silver sentiment IN that party it
is in nowise discouraging to the cause Of

10 the presidency, will cooperate in all
probability with the party that makes
the gold standard the principal plank in
it's platform. This will insure the de-
feat of the Bryan democracy and will
more securely establish the gold stand
ard policy.
The Bryanites can get along very well
without these II states in the conven-
ton, but they cannot elect their NOM
inee without the electoral votes of the
democratic and doubtful states in the
list.
The fact that a majority of demo-
cratic state platforms declare for silver
does not indicate that the free silver
cause has grown in strength, but sim
ply that majority of the democrats in
a majority of states still adhere to it.
AS matter of fact, there has been an
