CONSPIRACIES.

Much has been said of late
years about the conspiracy OF 1873
by which silver WAS demonetized.
But conspiracies did not end with
the crime of 1873. The las, grea,
conspiracy was that Of 1896, when
somebody whose name is unknown
TO the world. tampered with the
Chicago platform. That platform,
when adopted by the convention,
said nothing about coin redemr-
ton. The platform, as drafted
by the committee and adopted by
the convention, reco ,nized the
principle OF fiat money; recognized
the fact that the value of money Is
liked by the same law that all
values are determined, namely,
the law OF supply and demand; it
recognized the quan.i,stivc theory
and not the intrinsic idea.
Then It was that the shylocks
aud the money changers got in
their work by means best known
70 themselves. They were quick
70 SO that the platform, HI adopt.
sd. substituted the true basic prin.
ciple Of monetary science for the
false. The plutocracy SAW in ,hnt
platform the adoption OF n grea,
principle that would dcthrone gold
their vo.l and their king and
they went 10 work 10 undo the
work Of the convention by stealth

IL. J. ALDRICW AGAIN,

Fred NJ. Richardson execrstes
the memory of Henry j. Aldrlch,
president of the once we'll known
but now defunct Colorado Securi-
ties company, because he is out
sS25 in cash, and this morning be-
came a Judgment debtor to the
Lincoln university for $1,669 in
addition.
Mr.. Richardson wns among the
unfortunates who borrowed money
from the Colorado Securities COM
pany, in 1890 getting $500 at 9 per
cent a month and giving his note
for that amount, secured by trust
deed on 800 acres of land IN Ss-
guache county. In 1894 he paid
the money to Aldrich, not know
ing that shortly after the Securl-
ties company had received the note
the university had bought it for
m Investment.
Aldrich cancelled the note, or
pretended to. and failed to turn
over the money to the university,
but, it is charged, appropriated
tn" money to his own use. Mr..
Richardson made the mistake Of
not demanding the return to his
own hands of the note, contsnting
himself with the record Aldr,ch
caused to bs made on tho security
companys book, cancelling the
deed Of trust.
To his surprise in 1895 he was
sued for the full amount OF tho
note by the holder of it. the uni
versi.y, which averred that Aldrich
had no authority to receive pay
ment or cancel the trust deed, of
which he WAS simply the trustee.
He had resigned in 1895, and
while Mr.. Richardson had paid
the note, the money had not been
turned over to the holder OF the
note and he WAS responsible. The
university claimed no RESPONSE
bility whatsoever for Aldrich.
Judge Palmer decided agsinst
him on all points and ruled that
he must pay the note which,
together with interest, has swollen
to 81, l,G6S. Appeal Was taken to
the court OF appeals.
The proper thing for those men
who have been swindled by Aldrich
would be to send gang Of toughs
to Old Mexico and either collect
some OF these defalcations or "tsko
it out OF his hide"

GIN CAHOOTS,v

One time after Church Howe
had been nominated for congress
in the First Nebraska district a
little country newspaper bolted his
nomination and for two weeks no
stir or remonstrance WAS made in
the town. But RS soon AS n COM
mittee from Lincoln visited the
town where this paper was pub
lished and distributed seventy.tive
dollars to three firms, a great COM
m ,tion followed. Buldozing and
| oycotting were attempted.
The very large, spontaneous
and harmonious coming together
at Monte Vista last Saturday by
the two wings of the republican
party reminds us of the efficacy of
All open barrel. and MS near MS we
can guess, the power behind
the throne that proposes to re-
elect w. y. Station treasurer and
w. j. Clark commissioner-the
two men"in cahoots" in putting
through the funding and reiunding
scheme-is composed of the war
rant syndicate, the Middaugh and
the Monte Vista banks. The plan is
elect Mr.. Station this year, then
the election of Mr.. Clark next year
will be easy.
An effort has been made by
Station and his friends to form
sort of a Conejos county ring and
parcel out the Offices among the
several parties, and in the proposed
deal the republicans have been
content to accept the Office of treas
urer for their portion. This prop
osition having been declined by
the populists there is nothing left
for the syndicate to do but to get
the two wings of the Z. o. p. togeth.
er and then put up the Doodle to
re-elect Mr.. Station. All other
candidates will be side issues to be
traded If need be to elect the one
man who has put himself under
obligations to the warrant traders.
The men "in cahoots" are sharp,
shrewd and calculating-obliging
when it costs nothing, but can
turn down q friend when policy
dictates. Neither will sacrifice
any selfish ambition for friend
ships sake, aud hence will be
short.lived leaders, if they win out
this year and next. The campaign
OF last fall brought out these char
scteristies in Mr.. Station. He was
an administration candidate for
votes but repudiated that faction
OF his party when expediency die.

ACCORDING u Tho Miner q

csal standpoint to listen to the

tor for q short time-out OF sym
