Senator r. f Pctiigrew, OF South
Dakota, writes the following:-"I
have examined the plan which the
Ways and Means committee has in.
augurated for raising money to over
throw the un-American and corrupt
gold standard domination in this
country, and | herewith enclose $25
as my subscription to the fund. There
is no doubt but that this work should
command the earnest support of every
patriotic American citizen. Unless
we can overthrow the present influence
which controls this government, free
institutions are at an end; and we
will have established upon the ashes
OF a republic and republican institu-
tons a plutocracy Of artificial persons
10 such an extent does this vitally
important question overshadow all
others that believe it demands the
attention and assistance OF every per.
ION to the fullest limit of his power

al do not doubt for moment
hat the work of the committee hay.

vill be successful and that the uecessa-
y funds will be secured to properly |

gether with my check to cover the
first five months, wish to say that
l most heartily approve of this plan
OF raising money for the cause of
bimetalism. Almost all of the
wealth Of the country is arrayed
against us in this fight, and conse-
qnently it is necessary for us to ap-
peal to the people in moderate cir
cumstances to contribute something
for the circulation of literature upon
this question. Inasmuch as | believe
that no permanent prosperity can
come to the country under the gold
standard, most heartily approve of
The work you are doing for our

Among the recent letters received
by the committee from men of prom
lnence is the following from Senator
Frank J. Cannon, of Utah:-.The
movement inaugurated by the Ways
and Means committee of The bimetal-
TIC cause to secure subscriptions from
the people of the United States to the
National Defense Fund has nv most
hearty approval. l enclose to YOU
herewith my subscription to that
end
"lt is not TO be supposed, in view
of the experience of 1896, lhst the
enemy will lack either vast money
resources or the intention to utilize
the same in every possible way-to
intimidate, to deceive and to corrupt
the voters of the United States. Ey-
cry citizen who believes in guarding
the republic from its internal dangers
the greater because they are insid
lous-should be a contributor to
your fund. 1t is not alone the cause
OF himetallism which we must ADVANCE
but it is all the rights of the masses
which we must maintain | have the
most profound faith in the perpetuity
and the greater glory of this nation
but no man can watch the yearly
widening of the chasm between the
classess in this country without real
izing that another quarter ofa century
OF EVIL progress like that since 1873
will make this land a republic in
name only"

Senator Benjamin r. Tillman, of
South Carolina, writes the following
to w. H. Harvey, general manager
of the committee:-sIt may be late
in the day to make such expression,
but l was particularly gratiied to
see that you had been put in charge
OF the work Of raising money to pros
ecute the fight in 1900 for the Chi
cago platform. You, perhaps, more
than any other one man alive, first
called the attention of the masses to
the iniquties of the single gold stand
ard, and did more to arouse the peo-
pie to make an effort to throw off the
yoke of plutocracy, and | trust your
efforts to continue the campaigne of
education and raise sinews of war for
the distribution of literature and to
defray the expenses of the national
campaign, will meet the success they
deserve, l congratulate the friends
of silver that the work has been mt

NEW 'PAPRR OPINION
SENATOR GRAY FOR UNITED
SnAnES NUDGE.

SENATOR GRAY FOR UNITED
STATES JUDGE.
The president has made two highly
creditable judicial appointments tor
this state wEthin the last week. The
selection Of Judge Mcpherson, Of Har-
risburg. as the successor of Judge But
ler in the United States Court, was re-
ceived with universal favor alike from
the bench, the bar and the public, and
the appointment Of Senator George
Gray, of Delaware, to the new circuit
judgeship created in the district com
posed of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware, will I've MOST heartily com
mended regardless of political faith.
The fact that two CT the three cir
cult judges win be Democrats wou.d
doubtless staritle Poiitioans if that tu-
dncial tribunal could be regarded as
anywhere within ranlge of political in
fuence, but with three such men as
Acheson, Dallas and Gray composing
the Circuit Court, NO interested party
will take the trouble TO inquire as TO
their political inclnat!Ons.
The refrcmelat Of So-ator Gray from
that lrlly. During the fourteen years
THAT fe has served he maintained the
highCt standard of senatorial dignity
and cccgtosy and has long since rank
ed as one Of the ableSt and sOundest
of all cur reailic men In dealing with
every Important public question. He
accepted a position on the Peace Com
mission because it was imposed upon
him as pulbrlc duty, and the fhdecity
and manrEness with which he dis
charged that exceptionally delicate
trust made all political rreiudices per-
ish before the grand attributes he dis
played in devotion to country regard
less of party.
Only the extreme political necessity
that foIbids the eledtiOn of a United
States senator, who is 10 serve for six
years, by a large majority opposed TO
him in politics, prevented his re-elec-
ticn to the Senate by the Delaware
Legislature; and had his party won
the majority in that body he would
have been returned to the Senate with
the most cordial approval Of every Re
publican member.
Il is indeed gratifying that Senator
Gray win be enabled to give the re-
mairder Of his eminently useful life to
honor the United States judiciary OF
this district. He VIA bring to his new
TRUST not only the highest character for
we,l-haaanced Integrity, hut also the
highest attainments as a jurist, and nc
Circuit Count in the United States will
rank above that of this district in
every attribute of judicial distinction
While regretbing Senator Gray's re-
tlremena from the highest legislative
tribunal in the nation, we heartily
wdrome him to the new position upon
which he viii certainly shed fresh lus-
tire while rounding cut the circle OF
the qualities which so to make a greal
and good judge. Philadelphia Times.

rallied and ranted, without advancing
a word Of real argument, and the mem
bers recognized the motive which inn
pelied them To- take the stand they
did against the interests Of the peo-
PIE.
OF the entire Wilmington delegation
in the House, there is but one man
who is opposed to the bill, and he is
not disposed to break his neck in vot-
ing against the interests Of his con-
stituents for the sake of the Water De-
partment. He represents a constituency
which Is peculiarly interested I'M the
passage of the bill, and we are sur
prised that he should not come out and
take a manly stand in behalf of the
real interests Of these persons who sent
him here to represen. them and not

derstand the attitude OF Senator Knox.
1t Is due to environment. He is i'm

which, under this bin, WIFI be called
upon ta pay taxes which the email
water consumers of the city are now
paying for them. He does not repre-
sent the interests of the water con-
sumers in any particular He repre-
sents the interests of THE non-con-

fitting that he should stand practically
