EVIDENCE AGAINST WHITAKER.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 3.-Constable
Harrod, the officer who took Harland
Whitaker, the alleged assassin, to
Louisville, has given out what is re-
garded as evidence pointing to the ac-
cused mans guilt. Harrod says that
Whitaker, while en- route to Louisville,
told that he had some $1,000 at home,
and S. in his pocket which he would
give to be allowed to escape. The officer
also says that Whitaker contradicted
the statement of Captain Davis, in
whose company he was found when ar
rested. Davis insists that Whitaker
was sitting in a room adjoining Gov
ernor Taylor's Office when the shot that
felled Senator Goebel was fired. Con-
stable Harrod claims that Whitaker
says he was on the third floor Of the

The anti-lmperialists are- quarreling

had the following suggestive reflections
on his fellow Nebraskan the other day:
"Col. Bryan does not want the con-
sentative element to come back Into
the Democratic party. He has said so
over and over again. In 1890 he made n
free-trade campaign for Congress in
this district. His arguments were very
nearly In accord with my own views on
the tariff. His denunciatlons OF high
prices for staple goods were cogent and
convincing. but six years aftorwnrd this

Ing that unless higher prices could be

him."

depression was caused by our gold cur
rercy system: moreover, that ltiwould
increase go long as that system was
continued. Those contentious expert
ence has since disproved and laid for
ever at rest; indeed, the term of pros
perity which gaveisigns OF inclpiency in
1898 has gone,so far, In our opinion, as
to establish the truth OF the opposite
view. But those matters have been re-
ferred to by many others, and they
were not the. thought we had In mind.
What We desired to suggest was that
the 10 to L idea as offered TO the public
to-day calls for q complete revolution
in our currency system without show
OF reason for doing It. We are thereby
confronted, at a moment of great pros
perity. by the ridiculous proposal to
make a change In our monetary ar
rangements under which as they now
exist we have enjoyed, and are enjoy
Ing, q period Of prosperity scarcely ever
before equaled. and to accept and sub
stltute another system OF which the
very best that can be claimed for It by
any, one is that 1t Is experimental.
That is to say, we are called upon to
risk the buoynncy and Industrial pro-
sress now SO manifest upon desperate
and blind venture. The real situation
is, of course, even worse than that. We
were speaking of this risk from the
standpoint Of the silver advocate en-
,lightened us to our gold currency by the
last two years experience. From the
sound money status the free coinage OF
silver means 4 wide catastrophe en-
gulfing for n cycle Of years, and until
our gold standard Is reinstated, all our
Industries. Hence the venture becomes
deadly. however viewed, the country
being in the position OF the Victim nc-
cepting the proposal of the sharper,
