GREENBACKISM REVIVED.

Philadelphia Press
In the campaign of 1896 the friends Of
sound money claimed that the demand
for the free coinage of silver was only a
subterfuge and that the real demand was
for the restoration of paper money. 1t
was contended that with the right gained
to coin silver freely at the ratio of Is to l
the next step would be to set the print
ing presses at work turning out green
backs IN unlimited quantities.
Free silver coinage was defeated four
years ago, but the parties advocating it
have just given proof Of the truth Of the
surmise that free silver was only a cloak
for free paper money. The Popullst
National Convention which met in Gin
cinnati last week demanded Scientific
and absolute paper money based upon
he wealth and population Of the country,
not redeemable in any commodity, and

The Best Disinfectants.

The best disinJectsnts are pure air and
sunshine. Without the aid Of these disin'
fectants the most powerful chemicals used
to purify peste place may prove CT no
avail. 1t is more necessary that a house
sewer should he ventilated than that the
waste pipes that lead into it be trapped. A
strong solution of potash and boiling water
poured down the sink and into waste pipes
will disinfect them sufficiently for the sea-
son. If about four quarts of boiling water
are poured over FIVE cents worth of cop
peras, and the solution scattered over ths
ground where the garbage pail has sat
during the winter, and into cesspools or
any similar spot that needs disinfection, it
will be usually all that is necessary, pro-
vided air and sunshine can also reach the
place. 1t is not safe to trust the eyes;
that which looks clean may be very un.
clean, but there is usually foul odor to
any spot needing disinfection.

WHAT do the honest Democrats in Vir-
GINA think of the recent numerous con.
LESSONS that election frauds have been
constantly practiced in many sections Of
the State ? When the Republicans made
the charge it was denounced as a Repub-
lican lie. Now the crime is freely al.
nitted and plea of justification entered.
Who told the lie at the beginning? How
much liberation should be given the
plea of justification. accompanied as it is
with confession of falsehood and fraud !?

Republicans getting the solid electoral

stated "tbat not ten per cent. Of the white

SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY pretends to be
very much concerned about the preserva'
ton of the Republic and our republican
form of government. The tendency of
every movement of the Democracy in
every Southern State is to overthrow re-
publican government and establish an
oligarchy. The repression or restriction
of suffrage is in direct conflict with true
representative government, and is certain
TO place the people in the clutches Of an
oligarchy called the best people, but real
ly the most vicious.

ACCORDING to the views of Wharton
Barker, the nominee tor President of the
Middle-of.the- Road Populists, Bryan will
not be an important factor in the Presi'
Dental race. Barker estimates that Bry.
an will get at least 100000 fewer Popu-
list votes than he did in 1896. He will
also fail to get many thousands Of Repub'
lican votes that were carried to him by
the free silver craze.

SENATOR WoLCorr expresses confident
conviction that there has been a great
change of sentiment in Colorado since
1896. He refers to the make up of the
recent Republican convention in that
State as strong evidence in support Of his
views, and tells of the delegation from
his own county. There were fifteen dele
gates from his county to the State conven-
ton, and out of the fifteenfthirteen sup
ported Bryan in 1896. They have come
back to the Republican party with the
announced purpose of staying there.
This Senator Wolcott says is a fair sam
pie of the changing sentiment that has
taken place in Colorado.

ILLINOIS ANTITRUST LAWS
Decision in the Cases Involving the
ConstitutionaIity of the Laws
in Question.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Judges Tuley,
Waterman and Dunno, of the circuit
court, sitting en- banc, handed down a
decision in the corporation cases in
>olving the constitutionality of the
antitrust laws of Illinois, in which
the court ruled that corporations in
Illinois must continue to make aft
davits TO the secretary of state that
they are in no way connected with
any trust or combination in restraint
of trade. The decision, in effect, sus-
tains that section of the antitrust law
which compels the filing, under pen
atty. of an affidavit from each cor
poration that it is innocent of con-
nection with a trust.
Section l of the antitrust act,
which describes and defines trusts, as
amended, is held to be unconstitution-
al by two of the judges, but the court
is unanimous in declaring that the
amendatory section providing for the
filing of the affidavits does not fall
with section /. and the final decision
overrules the demurrer of the de.
PENDANTS in the test cases. The deci-
sion involves the enforcement of fines
of $50 on nearly 500 Illinois corpora
tions which have refused to file aft
davits with the secretary of state as
required by law.

1879, when four shots were fred at him
near the palace in ST. Petersburg. An
other attempt was made to kill the en-
tire imperial family on the night of De-
cember l, 1879, when the train on
which he was supposed to be travelling
from St. Petersburg to Moscow was
blown up. But it was the wrong train,
and the car and his fam y; escaped.
Other attempts followed, but 1t was
not until March ID, 1851, hat the nj
hilists were successful. Then he met
the violent death they had so often
planned by the explosion of a bomb
thrown at his carriage in St. Peters
burg.
Hardly had Alexander III. assembled
the throne before attempts began npon
his life. The first of these was frus-
trated by the discovery and destruc-
ton of a dynamite mine near his pal
ace. He was repeatedly warned to
grant representative government or
be prepared to meet the same tragic
fate that had befallen his father. But.
while he took extreme measures to
stamp out nihilism in Russia, and filed
the Siberian prisons with thousands of
suspected members of the society
taken from the homes of every class.
he refused to grant the reforms which
were demanded. He did, however,
plan for a betterment of the conditions
OF the peasantry, and carried his plans
into successful execution.
Still the long column of prisoners
for the Siberian mines continued to
grow. During the month of MAY. 1881.
alone, more than 1900 suspected per-
sons were sent to the Siberian mines.
The police raided every house. and
there was hardly a home which did not
suffer a loss of one or more members
exiled to Siberia.
Every precaution was taken to guard
the czar from the death which threat
ened him, and yet he could not tell but
that his personal guards were the one
selected to do the bloody work of the
nihilists.
1t was in an effort TO appease this
class OF his subjects that he began the
development of the industrial resources
Of Russia and Siberia, and the effort
was partially successful. at least. for
gradually the nihilistic agitation sub
sided, and the unhappy ruler was per.
mitted to die in peace at Lividia. on No.
vember /, 1894.

lice could care for the aristocracy. The
terrible disaster that marred the cor
o~nation ceremonies, and resulted in
the death of hundreds Of spectators,
but offered another opportunity for
the government to appeal to the peas
ant classes. The funeral expenses Of
the unfortunate victims were paid by
the government, and a goodly sum
from the imperial treasury was set
aside for dependent relatives.
In the four years since the coronation
of Nicholas II. Russia has forged rap
idly to the front in industrial progress,
and the policy of the government has
led to many minor reforms being adopt
ed. Siberia has ceased to be but a
great imperial prison and house of tor
ture, and has become the haven of the
peasantry who are seeking for free
homes. New mills and factories are
giving thousands of workmen employ
ment, and all Russia is enjoying a
reign Of prosperity. Under such condi-
tions it was hoped by the government
that the forces Of nihilism would find
but few followers in the cause of the
larger reforms which they have agi-
tated. OF Alexander ii. and of Alex
ander III. they had demanded a more
liberal constitutional government, and
now they have demanded the same
thing of Nicholas H., and threaten him

The Passing of THE
CZARS Of RUSSIA
Nihilists and Disease Both Threaten the Life
of the Present Ruler

began to give way before the demand
| for a more liberal form of government.
But it was a struggle between the peo-
pie on the one side demanding a re-
| d~uction in the great standing armies
| and the ruinous taxes on the one side,
and the efforts of European monarchs
to maintain their prestige on the
other.
OF the three doctrines nihilism was
the last to gain an impetus, but when
it did so it easily rivaled communism
in France, and distanced socialism in
Germany. The first outbreaks of inn
portance came in April. 1878. Vera
Sassulitch, the goddess of nihilisn, at
tempted the assassination of Gen. IRE
poff, the project of police Of st. Peters
burg, and was afterward acquitted OF
the crime by the jury that tried her.
When the government. unwilling to
abide by the decision of the jury, caused
her arrest a second time, the nihilis-
tic members of the police connived at
her escape, and she fled to Switzer-
land, and from there to Paris.
The assassination of the project of
police of Kiev followed, and his sue
cessor met with the same fate but a
little later. The %peasantry, the aris-
tocracy, the army, the police and the
student body of the Russian universe
ties were all affected by the new doc
| trine. Assassination followed a~ssassi-
nation, and a number of attempts were
made upon the life of the car. The
third Of these occurred on April IA,
