Aitgeld's Lies.

O..
In speech the other day the high
priest of anarchy, and the bosom friend
of William Jennings Bryan, John Par
don Altgeld. former governor OF H.
linois, made the following malicious,
malignant and misleading statements:
President Mckinley and his party arc
so insistent On the Idea that our flag
can never be hauled down where 1t has
once been raised that they have for
gotten when 1t was justly hauled down
In Mexico. With all this cry of theirs,
Secretary Hay has Just signed treaty
by which strip in Alaska 100 miles
wide and several hundred miles long Is
TO be given to England. and the flag
is to come down."
1t Is not often that public
speaker crowds so many faisi-
iications In such n short space. and the
Chicago Inter- Ocean points out in an
irrefutable manner the mistakes" Mr..
Altgeld was guilty OF. as follows:
81. The Republican position in fact Is
simply that our flag must not come
down on American soil. It has been rails
ed in Pekln. That Is not American soil,
and in due time It will come down. But
the Philippines, by every title known to
history, tradition, and law. are Amcri-
can soil. From them the Republican
party insists. our flag shall not be re-
moved.
70. Texas won independence. but
when annexed had n boundary dispute
with Mexico. We never claimed all OF
Mexlco's territory, any more than VIZ
claimed all OF Spaln's, or any of China's.
To secure what VIC did claim we tenn
porarlly occupied Mcx!co's capital, just
as to secure our rights we have recently
occupied China's. Having established
our rights. we hauled down our flag
from that part of Mexico which we did
not claim. In the parts which we lid
claim. or which We took as Indemnity.
our flag has never been hauled down.
20. No such treaty has been signed
by Mr.. Hay or by any one else In behalf
OF the United States.
-. The Alaskan strip to which title
Is now disputed Is not one.nfth the size
stated by Altgeld.
Is. Not even that strip has been con-
coded to England. The whole question
Of ownership is to be determined.
&c. Our flag Will not come down In
any part of Alaska until We ndmit Eng
land Is right and we are wrong Ths
we never have admitted.
AN this Is 50 plain and true MS to be
the common property OF all intclIgcn,
newspaper readers What spectacle
is It. then, when man OF John p. Ait
gcsd's Information rises to belle himself
by denying II. Has II really come TO

When Life is worth the Living.

I; It Is SO seldom that newspaper man
really enjoys life that we think It inter-
:es,ing enough to call attention to the
extraordinary joilncation that was IN
.dulged In and the great good luck that
lowered over the Pulaski, Tenn. Citizen
for six weeks. Generally speaking OF
the newspaper office. 1t Is n crippled
press. the galley boy missing. or the
finger OF gone workman catering to the
tcnnniballstic appetite OF the fast whir-
f. ring cog wheels. However. we will let
the editor OF the Pulaski Citizen tell his
story In his own way. which he does In
the following naive manner:
AN lndulgent public will kindly cx-
clse any short comlngs which may have
crcpt Into the Citizen during the last
six weeks. A peculiar streak OF good
luck has struck the office force, and
while we have done our best not to me-
elect huslneSs. We feel to some extent
escuaable for my unintentional defects
which may have appeared. In the flrst
place. Mr. Lew Jones, who is editor OF

Not Answered Yet

1t may be possible that the Hon.
Thomas B. Davis. the brother OF Isx-
Senator Henry G. Davis, and the man
whom Col. John II. McGraw caused to be
nominated for Congress in the Second
district, against his WILL. for purposes
well known to the knight OF tho i'ur-
pie Pencil" we say 1t may be possible
that Mr.. Davis attention has not been
called to the Inquiries OF one OF his
Democratic constituents propounded In
the Intelligencer some weeks ago. Six
pertinent questions were ASKED, but rs
yet none OF them have been answered.
They were:
/. VIII you vote to remove the G.
cent duty on coal. imposed in the Ding
ley bill?
20. VIII you vote to remove the 500
duty on lumber. closing our mills and
throwing open our markets to the Can
adams?
3. VIII You vote for free wool and de-
stroy the sheep industry OF the State?
4. VIII you vote for free and unlim-
tied coinage OF silver at the ratio of 1G
to 1?
s. Will you vote to limit the indie
pedence of the Supreme Court as fore
Swallowed in the Chicago platform,
which you adopted as yours at your
nomination?
G. VIII you vote to abandon the
Philippines?
These matters are OF vital interest to
West Virginians. An affirmative an
swer to the questions means retro
grade movement on the part of. this
state, which is now pushing to the front
so handsomely under the period OF
CONFIDENCE which has been inspired
by the faith of the people in the Repub-
lican party. II Col. Davis will not an
swer these pertinent inquiries perhaps
some of the other Democratic candi-
dates will. We should like to hear from
Mr.. Raymond. Of Braxton county, who
is alleged to be running against Captain
Dovener in this district
In connection with this subject we
call the respectful attention OF the vot-
ers of West Virginia to the following
taken from the columns of the Fair
mont West Virginian:
Somewhat OF n surprise has been ere
ated in political circles in the state by
the announcement made by Col. Tom
Davis, Democratic nominee for Con-
gress In the Second district, that he
voted for Aston G. Dayton. his present
opponent, three times. That Colonel
Davis should make the race against
Dayton upon Il different platform, after
once supporting him. is the SURPRISE
Morgantown Correspondent Pittsburgh
Dispatch.
The West Virginlan fails to see any
thing particularly surprising about the
matter. Colonel Davis voted for Mr..
Dayton every time, no doubt because
he thought the gentleman OF Barbour n
better. ADLER and safer man than his
opponents. Many Democrats here and
throughout the district will vote for Mr..
Dayton this fail for the same good rea-
sons. and we won't be surprised about
It either, for n number have told us
that they are going to do so. They
know that Colonel Davis Is unfit to rep
resent them In Congress.

found, to be sure, in Cape Colony and
some other places, but is commercially
! important only In Brazil.
There is a marked difference between
| the conditions under which the diamond
| is found In South Africa and in Brazil
At Kimberley most of the gems are
taken from the thick strata of rotted
rock forming blue clay through which
the rough gems are scattered; and the
mining is carried on simply by digging
up this blue clay and passing it through
washing machines which separate the
gems from the earth. Diamonds are
also found in the bed of the Vaal river
and two or three other places, but near
ly all the gems that reach Europe come
from the famous Kimberley formation.
On the other hand, the Brazil dia-
monds are scattered over large part
of the central region of the great arch
oan formation which is spread over
nearly the whole area of the southern
tributaries of the Amazon. Enormous
quantities Of the precious stones are
doubtless imbedded in this hard rock,
but the diamonds had been worked very
little inside the alluvial lands to which
they have been carried in the beds Of
streams from the ancient formation in
which they originated, Thus they are
found in the stream beds of Minas Gar
aes (many mines). Bahia, Gayaz and
Matte Crosse The diggings now in
operation are chiefly in the state of
Bahia, where, during the dry season, the
little water remaining in one or another
small stream is turned out of it's chan
mel and the gravel is sifted for the gems
it may contain. The work goes on with
out much method IL energy until the
rains come, when the diamond digger
takes a vacation and work is not re-
sumed until the next dry season.
In $50 years of mining operations Bra
zil has yielded about 500, 900 worth
of gems or a total output, which is
equaled every six or seven years by the
product of the Kimberley mines. The
African diamonds are commonly admit
ted to be less beautiful than those from
Brazil, but their total sale already eX-
ceeds by millions the value Of all the
gems Brazil has produced, though Afri-
can diamond mining has been carried on
only about 80 years.-From the New |

The news that the good old Oregon is
off the rocks and will soon be in fight
ing trim again will give pleasure to the
millions of admirers of that wonderful
Warmachine. The news of the ground
ing of the Oregon made all good Amer
leans sad. During the Spanish war
she became the most popular fighting
ship in our navy, not alone because of
her remarkable voyage from San Fran
cisco to Key West, but because of the
fine showing she made in the destruc-
ton of Cervera's fleet. The whole civ
ilized world, in fact, came to know of
the Oregon as one of the fleetest and
best equipped war vessels afloat. Long
may she continue a1oat, a terror to
our enemies and a comfort to US and
our friends.
