ing for 80 cents an ounce before next
July. We think tho capitalist is off
his base, but hope that his dream may
come true. He is self confess ed
Republican and that is the reason We
doubt him on any silver prediction.
However, he has very plausible
reason for his belief. He says the Re-
publican party realizes that it must
do something for silver if it would
stay in power, and also claims that
steps are now being taken to hold d
monetary conference and that the
other nations will agree TO open their
mlnts to the coinage of silver ut the
ratio Of % to or possibly 20 to L.
There is no doubt in the world that
the Republicans are getting snaky ON
their financial policy. but it will take
more than their threadoars argument
alb ,ut an international conference or
the decreasing Of the ratio to get
enough free coinage men into the
ranks Of the Republican party to
maze that party win. These argu-
ments are play ed out. There may be

As an attempt is being made to introduce a brand of SOUPS under name very similar to ours, kindly specify FRANCO American brand when ordering and see that our trade mark as we'll as name, FRANco-American, is on every can.
 We would have followed our usual custom of maintaining silence regarding this limitation" were it not for the fact that in one or two instances where complaint had been made to us of the quality of our Soups, we found that this imitation brand had been substituted for our own by some unprincipled dealers without the knowledge of the customer ordering.

HUMOROUS EPITAPHs.

 sign, Before Historical Society. At the meeting of the Connecticut Historical society, Tuesday evening, Charles s, Ensign, of Newton, Mass, gave a talk on Gods Acre Humorisms, or Churchyard Witticsms." He quoted a number of epitaphs found on tomb stones in England and the United States Some of his quotations are as follows: In the churchyard at Bury St. Ed munds this was found: Here lies the body of Deborah Dent; She kicked up her heels and away she
 went.
 In Burlington, Mass: Sacred to the memory of Anthony
 Drake, Who died for peace and quetness' sake. His wife was constantly scolding and
 scoffing, So he sought repose in a twelve dollar
 coffin.
 In cemetery in East Tennessee: Here lies -, born May 10, 1880; died June 4, 1851.
 She lived a life of virtue and died of cholera morbus caused by eating green fruits in the full hope of blessed inn mortality at the early age of twenty one years, one month. Reader, go thou and do likewise.
 In Baton Rouge, La:
 Here lies the body of David Jones. His last words were T die Christian and Democrat
 In Palo Pinto. Tex:
 He remained to the last decided friend and supporter of Democratic principles and measures. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. In England: At rest beneath this churchyard stone
 Lies stingy Jimmy Wyatt, He died one morning just at ten,
 And saved a dinner by it. One in New York State: He has climbed up the stairs of gold to
 rest,
 A cucumber stopped his young life's frolic, Acres of acres were aching beneath his
 vest,
 When he curled up and bowling died
 of collie.
 Another in New York State: A cherry incompletely ripe His little business did for him, And now serenely free from gripe, He is bob tailed cherubim. In Maine graveyard: Here lies inferred Priscilla Bird Who sang on earth til 62, Now up on high, above the sky, No doubt she sings like sixty, too. In Kentucky churchyard; Here the body of Mary Ann rests, With her head on Abrahams breast, It's very good thing for Mary Ann, But very hard lines for Abraham. A vote of thanks was passed to MT. Ensign.
 James J. Goodwin presented to the society a list of the soldiers of New London county who served in the Con- tinental army, and G. Brainard Smith presented copy of the Millington church ecords-Hartford Times.

ABOUT "LYiNG."

The Gazette, an esteemed local
contemporary, calls the PRESS "a
liar" because this paper repeated a
widely published statement that W.
J. Bryan had gathered in a fortune
OF $500, 900 under republican pros
perity. This tatement was first
made by friend of Mr.. Bryan in n
biographical article. Being such
strong evidence OF prosperity, and
SO clearly illustrating the grand op-
portunities of Americans these days,
the statement was published in hun
dreds OF newspapers. Because the
PRESS published this as current re-
port and not as a statement OF fact,
the Gazette says "you lie,' in SO
many words, Itself asserting that it
should be, 1920, 900 instead $780,
0OOw Good! Doubtless mere
matter OF inadvertance in not max
ing public its French army method
OF arriving at this conclusion, but
vive L armie, anyhow! We would
not shatter our youthful friends
ten derly contiding and child-like be-
lief that when he asserts a thing is
SO, it must cen so be taken, and we
hasten to ask other papersn to be
so discourteOus as to insist that his
secret dossier be introduced as evil
dencel
The intellectual effort or literary
inspiration necessary to call any one
ga liar" is SO meagre that it can be
passed up to the special privileges
accorded to kintergarden journal
ism-But it Is foolish, very foolish,
to Just call another ''liar" without
positivep proof. We may all be mis-
taken often, but "to lie" means an
intent to knowingly deceive. The
PRESS never does that, land did notin
this instance, either in letter or
spirit. The figures given were plain
ly stated 10 be oUtaineH from aif~
other, and the point sought is fully
corroborated by the Gazette
itself. Ii Mr.. Bryan has made $780,.
900 even, he is shining example OF

Commissioned Veracity."

With our young friends strong ly
expressed opposition to lying so
fresh in mind, and for which We COM
mend him, the PRESS must conclude
that there is some IN onstrous mis-
take about that Corporal Wilson
interview" recently published in the
Gazette, and reproduced in the
Sioux Falls Press. The Gazette pub
lished that interview asgenuine. and
Corporal Wilson pronounces it d
fs.lsehood manufactured out OF whole
cloth. This he says in a letter to
the Sioux Falls Press, over his own
signature. and the affair is now
spread broadcast all over the state.
Is there not some way-there must
be-in which our fellow editor and
townsmen can disprove this odiOus
accusation? And yet-and yet, Bro.
Healey himself said: Everyone
that knows John Wilson [seems they
were acquainted] knows that he is a
brave young patriot, who Went to
the front in defence of his countrys
honor, and whose honesty and ver-
acity is unquestioned."
Then Mr. Wilson says in the Sioux
Falls Press:
"Pierre,'S. d., Sept. IL, 1S99.-To
the Editor of The Press In your
paper OF the 18th find long arti-
Gle claiming to have been an inter-
view with me by the editor OF the,
Miller Gazette, and in the start of
the article you give out the intima-'
ton that statements made by me
in this city were manufactured, and
that the Gazette lie is the truth, and
YOU further say: "Some one has
lied in this matter and it is not Cor
poral, Wilson" Thatis correct, the
lying was done by the Miller Gazette
and the papers which copied what it
said. While in Miller the editor OF
the Gazette asked me for an inter-
view on the situation, but from my
knowledge of him, | feared that he
would 'mis9uote me, and refused to
give him any statements in regard

The judicial campaign is now on,
and as the Union forces have no
good reason to present, or party
principles to advocate, a number OF
their party papers just hurl charges
OF corruption" at the republican
candidates and say their own nomi-
nees "are with out a flaw" Atleast
this is the way the Sioux Falls Press
puts it, and that paper is accepted
as the leader. When a newspaper
degenerates to the narrow partisan
plane that ''every man is, corrupt
unless he is on our side" what hope
is there for intelligent discussion?
IL the fusion nominees differ so re-
markably from all humanity that
they "are without flaw" disclose
whence this unusual purity arises.
And il the present judges are so vile
and corrupt give us a bill ofparticu-
lars as to when, how and where. 1t
is an easy and cheap method to lau d
ones own candidates and to slur
opponents,-sO much so as to be ac-
cepted as mere appeal to party
prejudice-an open confession OF
weakness.
