can insidious attempt is made
to create a prejudice against the
advocates of safe and sound
currency by the insinuation,
more or less directly made, that
they belong to financial and bust
ness classes, and are therefore not
only out Of sympathy with the
common people Of the land, but
for selfish and wicked purposes
are willing to sacrifice the inter-
ests Of those outside their circle.
"It Is time for the American
people to reason together as mem
bers Of a great nation which can
promise them q continuance Of
protection and safety only so long
as its solvency Is unsupported, its
honor unsullied and the sound
ness Of its money unquestioned.
"The discredit or depreciation
in the financial centers Of any
form Of money in the hands OF
the people is a signal Of immedi-
ate loss everywhere.
eff reckless discomfort and
wild experiment should sweep
our currency from its safe sup
port, the most defenseless of all
who suffer in that time Of distress
and national discredit will be the
poor, as they reckon the loss in
their scanty support, and the
laborer or workingman as he sees
the money he has received from
his toll shrink and shrivel in his
hand when he tenders it for the
necessaries Of the humble home"

of the currency. and the Democra.ic
managers may boast all they want
to, but the fact is that a vast ma
iority Of the German-born voters
regard this question as the para
mount one, beside which imperial
ism, so-called, cuts no figure. The
trust question is hardly worth talk
ing about for the reason that both
parties have concluded that trusts
are bad things. / regard Mr.. Schurz
as deluded respecting the Philip
pines. The Philippine question is SO
much on his mind that it has pre-
cluded him from looking impartial
ly at the situation In its entirety.
His judgment. in fact, seems to have
been completely overloaded by 1t.
II consider Mr.. Bryan a danger
GUS man for the reason that he seeks
to arouse class hatred and panders
to socialistic and populistic tenden-
cies. He should not be elected, and
II is the duty Of every business man,
every working man and of all who
love their country to see that he is
defeated"

teal, and he has never said, and
he never will say, he has aban-
doned it. He would not abandon
it at Kansas City.
81 have said Mr.. Bryan is an
honest, if not a practical, man.
What he says he believes he can
do, and will never falter in his
attempt to do it.
He is dreamy idealist. He
talks and acts and believes, II
he were President, by a wave Of
his magic wand, as 'twere, he
can make desert blossom; that
he can do away with want and
misery, and make all his SUBJ
jects prosperous and happy. In
other words, that he Is possessed
OF the mysterious power that can
make the world an Utopia, If you
give him a chance.
"Such q man Is q delightful
companion, an estimable men,
Der Of society, but q wild bull in
q china shop would not be more
dangerous to the safety Of the
crocxery than such would be to
the safety Of the State, If en-
trusted with the management Of
affairs.
"The country is prosperous;
money is plenty and good; inter-
est has dropped to per cent; the
market Of our abundant crops has
furnished the money to discharge
old mortgages and build new
homes; labor finds employment in
our State, and the laborer fxes
the wages. Why should you de-
sire a change, unless it be for
the betterp And that better
state you cannot hope to find in
the balloon Of the idealist,

LEADING GERMAN DAILY
HAS LEFT w. J. BRYAN

The New York Stats Zeitung,
that some time ago supported
Bryan on the question Of impe-
rialism, has deserted his banner,
and come out squarely for NC
Kinley. The cut is the severest
Organism has yet received in the
East. The Stats zeitung admits
that the current Is strongly
against Bryan, and says there Is
nothing in the Bryan cry of i'm
peria1ism and militarism. It is
against him on the money ques-
ton. The Stats Zeitung is one
Of the most powerful German pa
pers in the country.

GERMAN PAPER LEAVES
BRYAN

The German Tribune, Of Leav-
enworth, Kansas, the only Ger
man paper published in that
State, has left Bryan's standard.
The reasons for the change are
that the Tribune believes in pros
perity and sound money, and
that the cry of imperialism" is
false. The Tribune supported
Bryan four years ago. It has q
circulation Of $4,000 weekly all
over the State, and 5000 daily

Washington, Feb. Representative

treaty with Great Britain now pending
in the senate.
4 think, he said, that the negOtia-

and that il ought not 10 be ratified by
the senate. / don't know that the
tendency Of the treaty VIII interfere
with action by congress on the Nicara-
qua canal bill, but the ratification of
the treaty would certainly impair the
value Of the canal when constructed.
This treaty reaffirms the principles
of the ClaytCn-BulWe treaty; cOnced-
ing all the claims and contentious of
Great Britain, though Great Britain
has by her own action given is the
right at any time TO abrOgate the Clay
ton-BulweT treaty. 1t surrenders every
thing to Great Britain abandoning cur
contention of years that we might
abrOgate the treaty at will
Moreover, II recognizes the right of
any foreign power TO interfere AMI die

ISSUES WRIT AGAINST PARDEE
=. II. MAYNE'S PETITION
AGAINST JUSTICE.
Doesn't Want Him to Hear the Silt
Of 7. c. Crossman Against
Him.

a. H. Mayne, through his attorney,
Norris L. Richie. filed petition in the
Third district court yesterday for a
writ Of prohibition against Justice J. D.
PaTdee to restrain the justice Of the
peace for the First precinct from hear
ing the case Of L. c. CTOssman VS.. A H
Mayne. Later in the day Judge Cherry
( ordered an alternative writ of prOhibi-
ton to issue, returnabie Feb. l., at 10
a. m.
The petition alleges that on Dec. %,
1896. W. II. Sells, who was at that time
justice of the peace for the First pre-
/ cinct issued a summons ordering A II.
Mayne and Z. 7. Mayne TO appear be
fore his court as defendants in the ac-
ton Of l.. c. CTOsSman VS.. A. H. Mayne
ct al, suit to recover $159,76 and $3.50
costs upon a judgment rendered in the
Justices court Of the Fifth precinct on
Feb. IS 1892. Petitioner affirms that no
entry of the summons or filing Of the
suit is apparent upon the docket OF Jus
tice Sells, and further that the sum
mons was never served, to his knowl-
edge.
Affiant proceeds to state that by some
means the summons eventually turned
up in the hands of Francis G. Luke,
who appeared before Justice Pardee on
Jan. ,, 1900 and obtained an order from
that court amer-Eg the document to
the extent of changing the name Of
Justice Sells TO that Of Pardee, also al
tering the address of the court to that
Of The Eagle block, wherein the court
of the justice of the First precinct is
now situated. -Four days later Mayne
was served with the amended sum-
mons.
Mayne in turn, on Jan. 10. moved to
set aside the service of the paper, hold
ing that the issuance Of the amended
summons was illegal and that the serv-
ice of the original summons was barred
by the statute OF limitations
The petition states that during the
hearing Luke filed an auidavit to the
effect that the summons was handed
over to Constable William Hamilton for
service in December, 1885, and that the
officer was unable to locate AIayue; the
paper was then returned unserved and
mislaid in the office Of Justice Sells and
subsequently unsnrthed in July. 1898. in
box wherein numerous other papers
were stored awav.
Subsequently Luke says he called the
attention of Mgyne'S attorney to the
outstanding summons. wheTeupon he
promised, so says Luke, that he would
see Mayne and get the matter adjusted
without the trouble Of further litiga-
ton As the CrOssman suit was not
settled, Luke proceeded 20 further push
the matter, with the result ne was in
formed by Mayne's attorney that he
could obtain no settlement.
On Feb. D Justice Pardee rendered his
decision OVGrTuli1g the motion 10 Quash
proceedings with the result that Mayne
filed the above neuuOn in the Third dis
trict court yesterday.
