nors of Olneyville, R. L, who was
found dead on the tracks of the Nor

ago, that he did not meet his death by
the cars, and that violence was used
other than the freight train.
The Spy reporter has secured reliable
information from the, family that they
will come to town next Thursday, the
date Judge Henry ]. Clarke has set
for an inquest to be held, as they are
still unwilling to accept the cars as the
direct cause of death.
They write they are going to have a
detective on the scene, and have him
carefully investigate the case. The al
fair will be gone over in detail again
before the judge.

Pretoria, Sept. 30.-After to-
morrow martial law will prevail in
this city. and today all trains are
crowded with passengers leaving
for the frontier,
Ii is claimed that 10000 will be

they realize the serious conditions
confronting them in the conflict,
yet their quiet determination is
taken as an assurance that the
British soldiers must make no in
cautious moves else the Beers will
teach them a severe lesson.
The Beers are mobilizing their
armies with marvellous rapidiiy.
The discipline is excellent and the
men express great confidence in
their leaders. The thought ex-
pressed by these men is that their
families must be protected, and
their lives they freely offer for
this glorious purpose.

Wildcat Money.
Chicago Democrat.


In the lace of the recent bank ia
ures in Boston the republicans vii
have hard time making converts &c
the theory that the banks should it
allowed monopoly in the matter o
issuing paper money.
No one who has the interests Oh
good business at heart, and who Ii
not "A thick and thin advocate OF es-
tablishing a banking trust will con
tend for a moment in favor of this
wildcat money scheme.
Presumption could go no furt her
than 10 suggest that the function OF
issuing money should be given to
promote individuals.
What would be the fate OF those
holding bank notes issued by the
broken Boston banks? II is disaster
enough that the depositors should
be robbed of their money through
such failures and the folly of advo-
eating bank note currency secured
only by the office furniture of the
bank has a powerful illustration.
But this asset banking is a pet
scheme OF the republican money
thinkers. They have no regard for
precedents Bank failures teach them
nothing. So possessed are they with
the desire TO place the money of this
country entirely in the hands of a
banking trust that they will receive
no warming
While many banks are sound and
are conducted by honest and conser-
vative men, the people have no meth
cd Of knowing which institution is
worthy of confidence The notes of
all banks would have to be accepted,
and in that event the days of red
dog" and wildcat money would re-
turn. The people want none of this,
and the republicans will find it out to
their cost if they persist i'll their in
sane course.
