Wisconsin Democrats Give Evidence
of Returning to the Fold,


Milwaukee, Aug. Silt begins TO look
as tho Wisconsin democrats are getting
ready to toss the silver idol, which they
have followed so blindly since 1896, into
the ditch, look for some way out Of the
wilderness. and get back to their old
home as soon as possible. There have
been indications of this for some time.
Now comes State Chairman Warden
with statement which will cause cold
chills to race up and down the spines Of
the dyed-in-the-wool silverites. In an
editorial in his paper. Mr.. Warden says:
The Iowa democratic state conven-
ton last week reaffirmed the Kansas
City platform by vote of 661 to 55S.
The fight on the question was spirited
and rather bitter, and the outcome is
something of triumph for the ultra
silver wing of the party.
1T would have been better policy to
have ignored national issues altogether
and confined the platform to state af-
fairs, as has been generally done by re-
cent democratic conventions in other
states, or If national issues were to be
touched upon to have confined the dec
larations TO questions upon which there
is substantial agreement in the party
Really there can at present be no con-
torversy respecting the financial ques-
ton which the increased supply Of gold
has temporarily placed in allegiance, and
1t was worse than foolishness to have
created the antagonism which the reaf-
firmation of the national platform will
occasion. There is much else in the Kan
sas City platform besides the financial
issue, which. however, it has latterly
come to stand for so exclusively and in
view Of which the reaffirma tion must be
regarded as sorry mistake and blunder.
1t is hardly possible that the democrats
would have carried the state this fall
had the national platform been ignored,
but it would have been incomparably
better to have done 50 on very many ac-
counts, local and otherwise.
The fast growing sentiment in the
party is opposed to further contention
on the financial issue at present and the
action of the Iowa democrats was step
backward and in unfortunate opposition
to a reunited party"
This utterance is the more significant
as Mr.. Warden had always been count
ed as one Of othe most earnest worship
ers at the Bryan shrine. Every effort
will be made by the present leaders OF
the party to get back into line the gold
democrats who left them in 1896. Every
thing short of relaxing their hold on the
party organization VIII be done with
view of getting an united force to take
advantage of the expected break In the
republican ranks next year.

McDuff's fish shot out and caught the
minister in the jaw, laying him limp in

the angry groom and explained to him
that this was the custom Of ministers.

offering drew forth two $40 notes, which

THE SILK FRAUDS.
Sensational Disclosures in Connection
With Japanese Importation..


New York, Aug. 31-Smarting under
criticisms in connection with the alleged
fraudulent invoices in the importation.
of Jananese silks. Assistant Appraiser
Warner Sherwood made a statement in
his own defense yesterday. Mr.. sher-
Swood says that he has been "maliciously
bounded months" and prosecuted. Al
the same time he feels that he may be
forced in the future in defense of his
honor to make public some interesting
history"
Mr.. Sherwood did not intimate in his
statement what he meant by .'interest-
Ing history but gave the impre ssion
that 1t would deal with matters COM
cerning the appraisers stores. The as.
sistant appraisers statement is partial
~ as follows:
1T is exasperating to be spoken of in
the press as malefactor after having
spent busy life in this, my native city,
as merchant, with name hitherto
untarnished by the breath of scandal. /
was appointed to my present position
by the president upon the recommends
tion Of hundreds of the leading mer-
chants of New York, with whom had
business relations for years. Such
firms as w. & j. Sloane, Mills & Glib,
the H. B. Clafln company, and Arnold,
Constable & Co., vouched for my integ-
rity at that time, and, conscious of no
wrong doing, firmly believe that they
and others who know me best hold me
7sniltless of the inainuationss hurled at
me today. Who my detractors are L do
not know. and can attribute their ma
lignant falsehoods to nothing but de-
sire to hide their own peculations by the
We'll known subterfuge of crying Stop
thief
Referring to the statement made in
the papers by Chicago firm regarding
information of fraud in connection with
Japanese silk imported, can only say
that no one entertains higher regard
for that firm than I do, and any infor-
nation furnished me by them touching
irregularities in customs matters would
have been thankfully received and care
fully investigated. They gave me no
such information, but forwarded sam
pies to New York with the request that
they be informed how such goods would
be returned for duty at this port.
Upon analysis 1t was found that the
goods in question contained over forty
five per cent in weight in silk, and they
We're told that IL entered here they
would be classified for duty at 50 a
pound, the correctness of which has
never been disputed. An investigation
made by Special Agent Cummings dis
closed the fact that only about 4 per
cent of corded silks imported at New
York from Japan were similar to those
submitted by Marshall Field & Co., .tnat
is to say contained more tnan forty-five
per cent in weight in silk. The great
bulk of corded silks brought into the
port of New York We're dutiable at s1.5O
pound.
These goods were more desirable and
command as high price in this market
as those subject to a.higher rate of duty
hence 1t naturally follows that in COM
petition the firm OF Marshall Field &
Co. was placed at a considerable disad-
vantage. Investigation will show
whether that disadvantage was In
creased by fraudulent practices en- the
part of importers at New York"

SURE TO BE TESTED.
Soldiers Home Voting Law Will Go
to Sunreme Court.

Whichever way the suit over the law
permitting the inmates of the National
Soldiers home to vote at Leavenworth is
decided, it will be appealed to the supreme
court. The Democrats believe they have
a sure thing in the supreme court and
the Republicans think they can get new
ruling on the question
A test case is, now being prepared IN
the Leavenworth county district court
and it will probably be brought to the
supreme court soon possible. In
former case. decided three four years
ago appeal from Ford county, the
supreme court held that the inmates OF
the soldiers home at Dodge City could
not vote in that county if their homes
were elsewhere The Democrats claim
that this decides the I1eavenworth case,
while the Republicans claim that the de-
cision was incorrect and they will try to
get the supreme court to reverse itself.
The Ford county case, however, was
unanimous when the court was composed
of Chief Justice Doster and Justices AL
len and Johnston
The case is an important one to both
sides in Leavenworth county, upon it
hangs the political complexion of the
county. There are about $500 old soldiers
in the national home and nearly all of
them are Republicans Without them the
county is Democratic, but with them the
Republicans will have a good majority.

HOLDS A FUNERAL.
n. M. Philips Holds Last Services
Over Kansas Semi-CentenniaL.

The Kansas Centennial EXPOSE
ton is a thing of the past. 1t shall be
known only to posterity by a box OF
records and 5,342, 67S unused stickers.
County Treasurer Philips hefted a
typewriter to his shoulder, tucked a
bunch of writing paper under his arm
and climbed to the top floor of the court
house way up in the highest story of
the much discussed tower and there,
where he could view the landscape for
miles around he wrote the obituary of
the K. s. c. f. that never happened.
Captain Philips fearlessly pounded the
typewriter. Occasionally he would
glance out OF the window to the fair
grounds, one of the sites proposed for
the exposition and then he would look
at the golf links, another site, and then
at Garfield park and the corn field, an
other site. And then he sighed. In his
story of how it happened he told all. He
gave the entire history of the exposition
from the time the scheme appeared to
him in a dream after he had eaten
mince pie to the time that the politicians
gave it the death blow He told it all
fearlessly and used the names. If there
was Doodle he told of if and he then
he packed all the documents, the stick
ers and the obituary of the exposition
in a cracker box. nailed it up and
stored it away somewhere in the
archives of the court house for pos
terity to discover.

BEWARE OF
COUGHS AND CATARRH
AT THIS SEASON OF THE YEAR.
How to Prevent and Cure Them

People who are subject to coughs or
suffering from catarrh even in its mild
est FORMS should protect themselves
against catching cold now for more
cases of consumption are contracted in
October and November than at any
other time during the year. Just at this
season the sputa of consumptives ex-
perforated in the streets of every city
and town during the summer, has be-
come thoroughly dried, and teemins
with germs of the disease, is taken up
into the air by fall winds and inhaled
by every living person.
If the air passages are in a healthy
condition there is no danger, but let
them become inf1amed by coughs and
catarrh, then these germs find lodge
ment on the inhamed surfaces, multiply
with astonishing rapidity and the dis
ease consumption is contracted.
Heretofore the public as well as the
medical profession have been at a loss
to prevent this terrible disease, but now
that government statistics and health
reports have shown there is a way, and
only one, every person who contracts
the disease has only himself to blame
for the consequences.
1t has now been settled beyond all dis
pute that the new Dry-Air Germic1de
Hyomei will cure consumption, and that
coughs, catarrh,, bronchitis and other
diseases of the respiratory organs cam
not exist where it is used. Hyomei pro-
tects and cures by destroying the germs
which cause the disease, and which cam
not be reached by stomach medicines.
Every weak lunged or catarrh affected
person should use it daily.
HYOMEI is sold by all druggists or
sent by mail for the following prices:

FOLEY TO SEE ABOUT 1T.
Parsons Man Goes to Washington to
Fix Things

Pete Foley, who was turned down for
reappointment as postmaster at Parsons
by President Roosevelt a few days ago,
left hastily yesterday for Washington
Senator Burton who has been pushing
Foley's candidacy, has secured delay
in the matter in order to give Foley a
chance to clear himself of the charges
against him, and Foley has gone on to
Washing ton to see what he can do
about it.
Many of the politicians, however. believe
Foley will have hard shedding before he
gets Roosevelt to send his name to the
set a high standard for his appointees to
live up to, and it is not probable that he
will retract from it. He will have to be
convinced that Foley will come up to that
standard before he viii reappoint Foley.
