Long and Short Haul.

The Court OF Appeals in decision
rendered on Saturday in the case OF
the L. & N. railroad We. the Common
wealth again affirmed the validity of
Section $40 OF the General Statutes,
better known as the long and short
haul clause. The opinion was writ
ten by Judge Hobson and affirms the
action of the lower court in filming the
railroad company for violation of the
statute named.
1t thus appears that the railroads
will be compelled to cease their prac.
tice of charging more for hauling for
short distance than they do for q
long one.

value or purchasing power Of the
dollar is affected, and, very materially
30, by the change in the number OF
standard dollars ia the way OF con-
traction through decentralization OF
either metal greatly to the advantage
TO the money lenders and in equal de-
gree to the disadvantage of debtors.
And Mr.. Lincol0 was certainly right
when he said: eff government
made a debt with certain amount of
money in circulation, and then con-
tracted the money volume before the
debt was paid, il Ia the most heinous
crime that the government could
commit against the people," This
"crime" to force the people by wicked
Legislation to pay through the delib-
crate enhanced value of money twice
as much as they really owed, ought
not TO be urged under the false plea
that unless they submit to the unjust
demand they are trying to "repudi'
ate part of the public debit A
simple study of this matter in the
light of common sense ought to con
vince everyone that all this talk
about "Inferior dollars" of only "fifty'
cent" value is sheer nonsense. And
If, indeed, our silver dollars are only
.fifty-cent dollars" and thus "inferior
TO our gold dollars, why do you anC
and all others receive them and past
them as complete dollars?" If they
are not "honest dollars" why is every
one dishonest enough to use them a
all? You are not ignorant enough
to reply, as some do, that they thus
pass in trade because they are backed
by gold dollars. You well know, OF
if you do not, ex-Secretary Carlisle
win inform you that "gold coins ant
standard silver coins, being standard
coins of The United States, are not re
deemable." You can, therefore, M
more redeem silver dollars by golt
dollars than you can redeem gold dol
lars by silver dollars. And it is 9
Islander upon the sovereign power O.
our country to represent any of hei
STANDARD coins" as "inferlor dollars
of only "fifty-cent" value. Your no
ton, therefore, that bimetallists seeE
"the creation of inferior dollars in or
der to repudiate any part OF the pub
lie debt" is ridiculously absurd.

BicycIists Organize.

At q meeting at the City Hall on
last Thursday night of number of
enthusiastic wheelmen, q Bicycle Club
was formed with j. M. Isols, Presi-
dent, Lee Orear, Secretary, and j. M.
Conroy, Treasurer
The purpose of this organization is
to promote the cause of the bicycle as
a means for healthy exercise as well
as being the source of many pleasant
pleasure trips. The cyclist can spend
much time at the many beautiful and
enchanting pleasure resorts that sur
round our little city without going 10
the expense of livery hire, or the
trouble of 'hitching up" on those
hot, sultry afternoons that are sure 10
come during the summer and autumn
months. The Club should make ar
arrangements for the admi,tance OF
Young ladies, for the boys--especially
those of a loving nature, and we be-
lieve they all possess that quality
would feel very lonesome when far
away from home and no one 10 sym.
| pathize with them if their steed
should come in contact with hedge
fence, carpet tack, rusty nail and
various other things that beset the
wheelman's path. OF course a man
has sympathy, hut of very indiffer.
ent sort when compared to that of the
gentler sex. And then again ladies
are great counselors in great emergen.
cies of this kind.
The following are the members sc
far enrolled. l.. H. Arnold, HI. A
Reese, Lindsay Vansrsdell, j. L. Con.
roy, Stanley Arnold, CLAY Miller, Chas
Arnold, VIM. Vanarsdell, Rebt. Van.

Isola, Lee Orear, M. f. Conroy, Harry
Reese, Allie Hunt, l.. T. Chiles, John
Shannon, w. 7. McGillswsy.
Stanley Arnold, Henry Reese and
Lindsay Vanarsdell were appointed
a committee to draft rules, bylaws
ETC., to be voted on at the next meet
ing of the Club.
DR.. VIM. VanAntwerp was made
an honorary member of the Club.
The second meeting will be at the
Engine House tonight. Everybody
| interested should attend.

Smallpox.

On last Sunday DR.. Lockhart, a
physician at Kdville, who bad been
treating a case which, from the symp-
toms, development and history, led
him to believe it was smallpox, sent d
messenger for DR.. w. r. Thompson,
Secretary Of the Board of Health,
aud they two are Of the decided opin-
ion it i. smallpox. Further discovery
revealed the fact that there were three
more cases. They are as follows:
Yves Chensult, y miles from city
and J miles from Leyee; II miles
from rhis place are two more cases,
Tom Berry and wife, and one other
at BIZ CCleman's, eight miles from
the city all colored.
The history of the case is about
this: A negro by the name of Berry,
who lives in Cincinnati, was in the
neighbOrhood and mingled with these
darkies; he was affected same as
these persons, and the supposition is
it was variOlOid. The worse feature is
that this negro was about in different
parts of the county, and report has il
he was in this city.
AS soon as Judge Hazerigg
was informed he gave this mat
ter his personal attention, and
every precaution is being used to pre-
vent the spread of the disease. The
homes of the diseased negroes are
guarded day and night and both in
gress and egress are prohibited.
Judge Hszelrigg on Sunday wired

DR.. Mccormick, ana asked that an

benefits attainable by it. This
place would at once become compet-
tive point, and whenever we pay 80
cents per hundred freight rate now,
we would pay not exceeding II cents,
Such reduction on exports and i'm
ports would soon pay the $4,000 ex-
pended. Then there is the taxable

An Open Letter to Mr.. Belmont
Lexington Leader.

l0H.H. NSSAAuSsoh AOoiCisD
Hon. Perry Belmont:
Dear Sir The following words I
find in your recent correspondence
with WI Bryan:
ain March, 1896, protested against
legislation destroying the existing
parity between gold dollars and sill.
yer dollars, and against any legal
tender law discharging with 60-cent
dollar valid promise to pay = 100
cent gold dollar. Later I pro-
tested before the Democratic Club
against the creation ofsany more in
ferior dollars in order to repudiate
any part of the public debt"
Nothing better illustrates the men,
tai confusion characteristic of the adj
vocates of the gold standard than the
palpable contradiction in this state
ment--a contradiction which often
occurs in their expressions. If there
is an existing parity between gold
dollars and silver dollars" please ex-
plain how there can now exist any
<'inferior dollsrs" of either metal. You
<'protested against the creation of any
more inferior dollars" abiding to adj
ditional coinage of silver, thereby
clearl ! implying that you regard our
existing silver dollars las "inferior
dollars" If they are really!such, what
becomes of your alleged ''existiug
parity between gold dollars and silver
dollars?" You thus admit that under
your precious gold standard the ''par-
ity" which you want does not exist
and that the disparity which you
abominate does exist. Is it not
strange that you did not see your
gross Inconsistency But this re-
suits in your case, as that in other
gold monometsllists, from your false
position and false teaching on the
money question. The truth is there
are no "inferior dollars" in the stand
ard money of the United States aud
our silver dollars stand on their mer.
its as legal tender just as do our gold
dollars, and If they were multiplied
indefinitely under restored bimetal.
lism they would still maintain their
unimpaired money value. Not ouly
so, but the "50-cent" metal IN the one
hundred-cent silver dollar would al
once, or very soon, be transformed in.
to hundred-cent metal, from which
degree of bullion value ii has been
lowered by unjust legislative dis.
elimination against silver. The only
reason in the world why we have 100
cent gold bullion in the 100-cent gold
dollar and why we have 1fty-cent
silver bullion in the undred- cent sill
yer dollar is that gold 40 free access

the status of each. Had you thou
sand bushels of wheat against which
the mills were closed you would tax,
90 cents or less for it per bushe
while the price of flour might be a
81 or So per bushel, But let thu
mills be opened freely and you would
take no less for your grain than tn,
price of -four, as you could freely con
vert your wheat into flour. In pre-
cisely the same way unrestricted
coinage will equalize the bullion value
of silver with its coinage value. W.
have no "50-cent silver dollar" blu
-50-cent bullion in the silver dollar by
which the money value of the dollar
remains unaffected. But the none,

ARE OUT OF COAL.
Asylum and State House Suffering
From Fuel Famine.

All Of the available coal at the state
penitent12ry IS being rushed to the State
Institution where a coal famine IS IN
sight Particularly is this true at the TO
peka asylum. The superintendent mas
been to Lansing to urge the necessity OF
having coal but the institution Is recelN-
ing none.
There is no money to purchase coal for
the state house so the electric light plant
is shut down, also the fires early in the
evening and the public business IS being
seriously hampered.
Six o'clock is the hour at which the
state house lights and fires stop doing
business.
1t was reported from LeavenwOrth, first,
that boiler in the penitentiary air SHAFT
mad eXploded and stopped the work IN the
mines. Then came the report that 1t was
an explosion which damaged the air
shaft, some distance from the boilers.
1t seems now that the accident was
caused by the bursting of a fly wheel in
one of the frames over which the hoist
ing apparatus and ventilatOrs puneys
