ABOUT GHOSTS.
Richmond Times (Dem)l


Four years ago the whole country was
overrun with alarmists. We We're told
that If the gold standard should be estab-
lished the Money Devil would be en-
throned and would grind the plain people
into dust. 1t is interesting to look oyer
the files of the papers of 1896 and see
whet direful predictions were then made.
Many people were genuinely alarmed, and
they honestly believed that unless the
minis of the country should be opened to
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
disaster would sweep over the land. But
the gold standard was established and the
country has enjoyed a season of universal
prosperity. Therefore, the alarmist can
not get up another scare Oh that score in
the present campaign. 1t is recalled that
in August, 1896, the exports of gold
amounted to 81 $40 600, but $l2 1863, 725
Of United States notes we're presented at
the Treasury for redemption. The alarm
list had gotten in his work. At the rate of
200 day holders of such notes went to
the Treasury and demanded gold for them,
because they had lost confidence and
wanted to protect themselves against
the evil day that they feared was coming.
But how different it is now! Our stock
letter of Yesterday said that mo effect
was produced on the local market by the
gold engagement to-day which brings the
total outgo of gold on this movement up
to 4,G0O,O00I" We have recently sent
S14 200, 900 Of gold to Europe, but the in
cident has caused no sort of alarm and no
man has gone to the Treasury to ask that
his legal tender paper be exchanged for
gold. Our financial position is as strong
as it well could be, railroad earnings are
immense, factories are at work, our export
trade is breaking all records, and trade
conditions are generally satisfactory in
spite of the fact that it is Presidential
year"
And so the alarmist has been forced to
look away from trade and financial circles
for scare material. He now tells us that
there is Matching deep-laid conspiracy to
overthrow the republic and set up an EN-.
PRE-. The Times refuses to be alarmed
on this score, and it counsels its readers
not to let the alarmists frighten them or
disturb their peace of mind. Nobody can
be more opposed than we to the principles
of Republicanism and the ways of Repub-
licans. But we refuse to be frightened by
the bogy man and hobgoblins We don't
profess to be Drawer than others, but we
do not believe in ghosts. We cannot go
off into conniption fits from apprehension
that our liberties are to be lost merely be.
cause some excitable gentlemen imagine
that they see armed men concealed in
bushes that do not in fact cover single
musket. If anybody is plotting the over
throw of our Constitution, drag him out
into the light of day and let all men gaze
upon his treacherous countenance, and
that all men may see him dangle at
ropes end But don't invite us to mock
funeral like that of the Italian King held
in Richmond. When this execution takes
place we want to see a real traitor hung
and we want a real corpse in the coffin.

Timely information given Mrs. George
Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, saved
two lives. A frightful cough had long
kept her awake every night. She had
tried many remedies and doctors but
steadily grew worse until urged to try DR..
Kings New Discovery. One bottle who'll
ly cured her; and she writes, this mar
yelous medicine also cured Mr.. Long of a
severe attack of Pneumonia. Such cures
are positive proof of its power to cure all

l wish to correct the impression that
generally prevails as to the presence here
of foreign experts. No greater mistake is
current than this. The transvaal artillery,
which is supposed to be managed by Rus
sian and German gunners, is really in the
hands of young Beers, and the engineering
feats that have been accomplished must
be credited to the Transvaal farmer. He

To belong to the latter one must be a bur-

will all testify to this, and, furthermore,
bear me out in saying that better marks

than behind the Boer parapets.

A Greeting for E. WinsIow.
Boston Record (Rep.)1

Boston Record (Rep)l
The predicament of the leader of the
three combined brass bands that came to
the Indianapolis station to meet Colonel
Erving Winslow this morning is one with
which we can all synipathize. For days
he has wrestled over the problem of
whether the hymn of triumphant greeting
should be-
Hail to the Chief"
dead March in Saul, or
"Mah Honey Boy"
We can all agree with him in his final
decision to order all three played at once,
each band contributing one of the melo-
dies.

The Cochran Sophlstrles.
Philadelphia Press. !

fnllduelpniu TIess
Bourke Cochran, in his excuses for ac-
cepting Bryan, has reached the dizzy
heights of a dizzy absurdity. He admits
all of Bryan's errors and heresies, but
would have you hug him for the decisions
he holds to because he is sincere.
If Cockran's new test of truth be applied
we are in for rule of contraries in the
outer world somewhat akin to that that
goes on in Bedam. We must perforce
give up the Newtons and take to Brother
Jasper and General de Peyster, who still
believe the 'sun do move" They are
terribly sincere, hence the reason why
they should be supported. Bryan, Cock
ran believes, is wholly wrong on the mon
ey question, yet because he glories in his
error Cochran gulps him down. Stomach
ing bis own medicine, he goes step fur
Their, and, with audacious sophistry, the
like never heard before in a campaign,
puts the honor of the present gold leRisla-
tion to Bryau's credit because, forsooth,
he forced honest legislation by his fierce
fight for dishonest currency.
This is the climax. Hereafter we shall
honor not the great jurists but the crimi-
nails who made them necessary; we shall
erect monuments not to the great healers
but to the loathsome Affections that called
forth their efforts; we shall in fine, not
worship Jehovah, who handed down the
moral law in thunderings from Sinai, but
weak, frail, SHINING humanity in the
plains below whose shortcomings called
the Ten Commandments into beingl
That Cochran expects intelligent people
to be won by such reasoning proves he
has lost his head.

Affairs of the Aplary.
Farm Journal. !

Farm Journal.
There is a new device for inducing bees
on the wing to cluster. 1t is easily made
and can be put in practice by any one.
Take board about foot square and put
a hole in the center large enough to re-
ceive the end of pole. Then put a half
dozen holes in the board large enough to
receive as many corncobs. With your
pole in the center you can take the device
and 90 with it where the bees are flying
thickest, and they will cluster on the
board. Then you can carry them to their
hive and shake them off before it or into
it, and the work is done.
Those who have back bees and are
troubled with worms should at once
change them for Italians. Worms have
no show with strong Italian colonies.
They are wormproof and should for this
property have the preference.

NEW TRICK OF RHEAlTES.

Persons would have been justified in
concluding that the Rheaites had exhaust
ed their stock of tricks in the election OF
1898. To so conclude would, however, be
a mistake. The well known capacity of
the Democratic candidate for Congress in
this District for inventing and using cleo
ton tricks was the first thing that COM
mended him to the Democratic Machine
as candidate in 1898, and has made him
the unopposed candidate this year. We
may expect him to supplement the very
extraordinary schemes that were worked
so successfully in 1898 with others of equal
" as bad color. We hear of some already
being used
News comes from certain sections of the
district that the Democrats are offering to
give four votes for Mckinley for one Re-
publican vote Tor Rhea.
We would not be bit surprised if Rhea
should try to have such scheme worked
1t is emineutly in keeping with his trick of
getting out negro candidates for Congress
two years ago, hoping thereby to draw
votes from General Walker, This scheme
for swapping votes is holder one than the
one of having negro candidates, and would,
perhaps, be used by the Rheaites for
double purpose.
In the first place, if they could find a
Republican with so little sense and so little
loyalty as to accept the proposition OF an
exchange OIL the basis of 4 to l, they
would gain one vote for Rbea and lose
none for Bryan. Of course a Democrat
who would make such proposition to a
Republican would not carry out the agree
ment in good faith though the Republican
did, "
But if the Rheaites are attempting to
work such plan they have another and
far more dangerous object in view. 1t is
this: They will scratch General Walkers
name off the ballots of a number of litter
ate Republicans in the booths, and, per-
haps, occasionally scratch Bryan's name
from a Democratic ballot. In this way
Walker will be made to run considerably
behind the National ticket, and Mckinley
will run nearly up with Rbea. BY that
course abundant frauds could be commit
ted and the Rheaites would account for
the peculiar results that came from tie
ballot boxes by saying that Republicans
had snapped off.
If the Democrats are making a PROPOSE.
ton to swap votes as above reported you
can rest assured there is wicked purpose
in it. The Republicans of the Ninth Dis
trict-will stand united for Walker, and any
proposition of the Rheaites to exchange
votes in the manner indicated will be
trick to cover up the frauds they intend to
commit in the booths.
Let the Republicans of the Ninth Dis
trict Re on their guard to expose and pun
ish every effort by election e1lcers or
others to cheat at the coming election. We
are up to most of Rhea's tricks and will
know how to meet them. His new tricks
must be caught and vigorously met.

During the civil war, as well as in our
late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one Of
the most troublesome diseases the army
had to contend with. In many instances
it became chronic and the old soldiers
still suffer from it. Mr.. David Taylor Of

these. He uses Chamberlain's Collie,

he never found anything that would give
him such quick relief. 1t is for sale by

Yesterday at South Chicago the Illinois
Steel Company paid to its 5000 workmen
$2lS, 900 for two weeks work. -Four years
ago it YVES paying to less than half that
number of workmen much less than half
that amount of money. In 1896 the best
common workman got only Sl.20 day.
Now the lowest pay given to any common
laborer is $3.50 day. Wages are on the
average 25 per cent. higher than they were
four years ago and work is steadier. The
plant of the Illinois Steel Company has
been running every day this year, and I'M
less there is an improbable change in the
situation there will be no shutdown this
year. AS two new blast furnaces are
building, the number Of men in the COM
pany's employ will be much larger soon
than it is now.

BRYAN acknowledges that he gave en-
enlargement to Aguinaldo and the Philip
pine insurgents to resist the United States
forces. We have heard Democrats say
that they think it was right in him to do
so, if he thought the policy of the Govern
ment toward the Filipinos was not what
it should be. The grand idea Of patriot
ism used to be measured by the senti'
ment: "My country! Right or wrong
my country" But Bryan has introduced
new evangel into the field of patriotism
as well as craftsmanship. A plague upon
the American who will say to the Filipi-
no, "Shoot at the Stars and Stripes it
is the flag of oppression! Shoot down the
brave Federal soldier, he is your enemy
and oppressor!"
