BRYAN FOR BIMETALLISM.
But Declares He Loves Peace More Than
Gold and Silver.

Denver, Colo, September l6.-ln a
speech here last night, William J. Bryan
apologzed for Judge Parker's views and
the platform of his party. He reiterated
his faith in bimetallism, regretted that he
could not talk on the subject as we'll
as some of the other Issues Of 1896
and 1900 which the party had laid away,
and said:
"You ask me why |, free silver man
now as them sa0n support man who is
opposed to this principle and platform
that is silent when it should have spoken2
reply that l love peace and gospel of
peace better than l do all she gold and
silver in the world"
81 went to St. Louis" said the speaker,
"snd found sume people who wanted a
gold plank in the platform, and if they
had placed thstin there think l should
be talking on the money question tonight.
| have not given up the idea Of lighting
for silver, and think the day will come
when the plank will again be part Of
the platform. Our candidate does not
stand With US on this and other vital guess
tions, and for ths' am sorry. But there
are conditions facing Us today that place
us go that we cau afford to ignore for the
time being the issues which have been so
close to our hearts, and stand with our
candidate on the other and even
more important questions which, | think,
threaten the very foundation of our free
government"

Book Contracts Violated.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 19.-Charges are
being made in every direction of viola
ton on the part of book concerns, who
are under contract to furnish books for
the children of the public schools of their
agreements, and it is likely that investi-
cations will follow. The schooI apthori-
ties here have requested parents to- insist
upon dealers adhering strictly to the letter
of the contract and the state school boards
had announced that if any violations are
proven the books of the concern guilty
will be stricken from the list.

Civil Authorities May Take Hand.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. l6.-Governor Ter
rell was seen tonight by representative
Of the Associated Press, and gave out i
statement to the effect that the civil gu
thorities may yet take hand in the
Statesboro affair.
"If the Bullock county grand jury will
return indictments against the county
officers or members of The mob which
burned Read and Cato at the stake, | will
request Attorney General Hart to attend
the session of the court and aid in the
prosecution of the men who trampled on
the laws OF Georgia. said Governor Ter
rell. 1T is not within the province OF
the attorney general to take the initia-
tive, but if Bullock county will do its part
the people may rest assured that every
thing will be done to bring the offenders
to Justice"
The stale constitution prevents the
governor from acting directly against the
sheriff, or anyone who might have been
connected with the crime. The county
officers can only be removed by the grand
jury for malfeasance In Office.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Did you ever SEE anything 90 to pieces
faster than the Parker boon?
Colonel Semp will continue 10 write
bills in Congress. Mr.. Wysor will con-
linue to write billie in chancery at Pulaski.
Has your father, your brother, your
neighbor or friend been dsfranchised by
Democratic trickery If so, what are
you going to do about it?
Tie Democratic newspapers in ViTgiRia
pretend to believe that there is some pos
sibibe hope for the election Of Judge
Parker, but the manner in which they
talk about it shows that they have TO
faith that he will win.
The men who have been disfranchised
by the Democratic party in Virginia ought
to 90 to The polls on election day and ap-
peal to their friends to cast their votes
against the party that has disfranchisei
so many worthy white men.
The Denver Republican says: "John
Sharpe Williams has plenty Of cheap
satire, but political history fails to reveal
where satire ever carried doubtful State. "
This truth may be applied to Mr.. Joseph
O. Wysor, whois indulging freely in cheap
satire in bis canvass of this district.
The news comes from New York that
the New York Transportation Tru t., the
Sugar Trust, the Oil Trust and the Tobacco
Trust are all friendly to Parker and are
contributing large sums to the Demo
cratic campaign fund. If this be true, We
can account for the comparative silence Of
Democrats all over the country on the
anti.trust Issue. The Democrats will
have to explain where their large cam
paign fund is coming from.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 19.-The RUSSIAN
answer In the American notes in regard
to contraband of war, as specifically raised
in the cases of the British Calchss and the
Portland Asiatie Line steamer Arabia the
former while bound from Puget Sound
ports to Japan has been delivered. 1t fol-
lows generally the lines Of the reply 10
Great Britain. On the broad question
involved, Ruesia recognizes the principle
of the immunity of innocent trade Win
Japanese ports, but she holds to her rlgnt
10 stop contraband destined for the use
of the japanese military or naval iorces'
The United States is informed that In
structions embodying the decision OF the
commission, presided over by Professor
de Martens, have been issued In the form
of instructions to the naval commanders
and prize courts, to govern them IN the
future, the instructions recognizing tne
dual uses and, therefore, the conditionally
contraband character Of the articles OF
foodstuffe, rice, etc., enumerated In Sec
tIon 10 of article of the Russian regula=
tons, With the exception Of horses and
other beasts Of burden. Russia will not
undertake at this state to interfere with
the cases of the steamships Arabia and
Calcbas. of which the courts have already
taken jurisdiction, and in which Vladl-
yostok court found the facts, but upon
appeal the admiralty court will, probably
with its Interpretation of section 10, which
practically amounts to an assurance that
the -four, ETC., seized will then be released.
1t is improbable, however, that all the
articles confscated by the lower court
win be released. AS far as the Associated
Press can learn, the commissions decision,
az embodied in the instruction, does not
90 beyond the articles enumerated in Sec
t;on 10. from which it Is inferred coal,
railroad material, machinery and boilers
for chips and even cotton are enumerated
along with munitions of war, with articles
which remain in the category of absolute
aontraband. 1t is understood, however,
tbst private assurances have been given
the United States that the American gov
srnment will be satisfied with the manner
IA which the contraband rules will be in
tarpreted hereafter.

Light on the Candidates

Two notable campaign articles are an
nounced for the November McClure's,
which is published two weeks before the
election. The last word concerning the
candidates is to be written by high au-
thorities; Parker by ex=President Cleve-
land; Roosevelt by Senator Lodge, Of
Massachusetts. What the two candidates
and their parties represent will be set forth
clearly by two men well qualified to speak
and should give two vivid pictures Of
these men of the hour.

TRUE INDICTMENT.

Charlottesville. Va, Sept. 19.-The
grand jury of the Charlottesville corpora.
ton court today returned true indict
ment against ex-Mayor ]. Samuel McCue
of this city, for the murder of bis wife
Fannie NJ. McCne, on September 4th last
1t is believed that the case will continue
until the October term of court-the thirC
Monday. There is small reason to expect
change of venue. A change Of venire
is certain. A panel of sixteen men prob
ably will be drawn from some other city
or county, and this may operate to delay
Immediate trial.
