THE "CREDlTOR GLASS;"
4 Gross Pcrversion Upon Which
Bryan Bases an Assault.

Bryan Bases an Assault.
The silver orators from Bryan down
are never tired of rciterating that the
gold standard Is established solely in
the interest Of the creditor class, who
want whatever 10 due them paid In tho
best and highest kind of money. They
assume that the debtor class 10 the
poor who swv money aud that the cred
itor class u the rich to whom money D.
always due. On this ground they en-
deavor to foment hatred and bitterness
among the poor against the rich and to
array class against class and employee
against employer. To stir up such
1ealousies and hatreds opens the ROAD
e anarchy, and anarchy leads to the
destruction Of government.
But 1t Is not true that the poor are
the debtor class and the rich the credit
or class. AS matter Of fact the great
majority Of people belong to both class
es, having money coming to them from
one direction and having to pay 1t out
In another. 1t Is therefore difficult to
draw any hard and fast line to sepa-
rate the debtors from the creditor0L

TOWN OF KIMBERLEY
Origin of the Diamond City De-
scribed by Hon. John Study.
Cecil Rhodes from the First Worked
Hard and Spent Little-Wilder-
ness Became q Municipality
In q Single Day.

Residing upon his ranch in southern
California is condemnation. John
Study, late of Kimberley, South AZ
RIGA, and an ex-colonial minister of
finance-who. from personal knowl-
edge of the subject, describes how the
first diamond was discovered. which led
to the building up of the beleaguered
city of Kimberley, and how Cecil
Rhodes laid the foundation of his colos-
sal wealth and power.
1T was in 1862" says Mr.. Study,
"that first met Herbert Rhodes, the
pioneer of the Rhodes family fortune,
at Du Toitspan, where we Joined in the
rush to old De Beers, and in which lat
ter place we worked together upon very
friendly terms.
I'm short time Herbert Rhodes was
followed by Frank, now Col. Rhodes,
when the two brothers entered into a
partnership working a good paying
claim upon road No. 8.
Both brothers were very popular at
the diggings. Herbert was a strong,
good, all-round'man, andif he possessed
a fault it was his big-hearted generos-
ity, which, at times, carried him to
lengths of expenditures perhaps not
warranted by the extent of his find,
and who surely deserved better fate
than that horrible one of being burned
to death, which subsequently overlook
him when gold prospecting on the coast
of Zanzibar.

De Beers, with fairly satisfactory re-
suits, when I went out, in company

cry of New Rush. or Kimberley, and in
cidentally to the making of the for
tune and fame of Rt. Hon. Cecil Rhodes.
1T was on Sunday afternoon, I re-
member, that we had pushed our way
across plain of high Tamboke grass,
when in searching for some cartridges
I had brought down near clump of
minora bushes, I found prospect to
which at once called the attention of
my companion.
ION making careful survey of the
ground, seeing that it was of similar
formation to that of old De Beers, I
sat down and sorted out some of the
dirt, when in less than five minutes I
picked out as many small diamonds.
Impressed with the belief that had
made big find, I went over to the tent
of an old Natal friend, Popham, by
name, with whom at the time was Her.
bert Rhodes. told them of my discov-
cry and we three at once decided to
organize stampede for the new field.
"Popham and Rhodes got away in less
than two hours and I fully intended to
accompany them, but deferred to the
wishes of my partner to remain with
him at the old De Beers; sending on
four Kafir Zulus, however, to help
stake out our claims.
1T was but a few hours after.
through the instrumentality of the
friend whom had taken with me on
the hunting trip, that the news was
spread abroad through the camp; and
before seven a. m. in the next morning
Old De Beers was deserted and in "a
hours later there were from 5000 to
1000 men on the ground on which now
stands the city of Kimberley.
I'm few days the country all around
that clump of mines, where had shot
the cartridges, was staked out, and it
was almost on the spot, right in the
center of the crater of the extinct mud
volcano now forming the celebrated De
Beers mine, that Popham, Herbert
Rhodes and myself secured three of
the best-paying claims.
1T was about five or six months after
this, when we had all moved to New
Rush, that Cecil Rhodes. the youngest
brother, unexpectedly turned up at the
diggings.
ION the morning of his arrival in
camp, Herbert Rhodes asked me to take
his brother Cecil down and show him
over the claims, where they were work
ing from 1s to 20 Zulus. To this re-
quest I readily agreed, and while in
the pit picked out a small diamond
from the sidewalk and handed it to
him-his first stone in South Africa.
1T was not long after Cecil Rhodes
came upon the scene" Mr.. Study con-
tinues. that I foresaw that, sooner or
later. there was going to be split in
the camp.
I'm this representation was even
tually proved to be right. for Herbert,
first of all, sold out his interest to Cecil,
and then Frank did the same; when
Cecil. who would hardly spend enough
on his food and clothes to keep body
and soul .decently together, began,
with the aid Of his savings, to engineer
those plans which have raised him to
be one of the two foremost men IN
South Africa"

ton. His memory was so remarkable
that in the course of a single evening
he could memorize three or four chap
tiers of the Bible. He was licensed to
preach when he was 20 years of age.
and soon afterwards studied Latin,
Hebrew and Greek, becoming prof.
cient in all. In 1862 he became pastor
of the largest colored church in Wash
ington. D. c.. and in 1863 was appoint
ed chaplain in the. army by Presi-
dent Lincoln, being the first colored
man appointed to such position. In
1880 he was elected bishop of the
Methodist church. Bishop Turner,
who had been given the titles Of LII.
D. and D. D. by universities of the
highest standing, is one Of the prin-
cipal agitators for the return of his
race to Africa. He thinks their pros
