Buzzabd'sBat, Aug. 25. Announce
Irieut was made by President Cleveland
at Gray Gables last night of the ap
pointment of Davis R. Francis, ex-governor
of Missouri, as secretary of the
interior, vice Hoke Smith, who recently
resigned the secretaryship because of
bis financial views. Mr. Francis will
probably assume the office on Sept. 1,
as that is the date named in Secretary
Smith's resignation.
"Washington. Aug. 25. The an
nouncement that the president has ap
pointed ex-Governor Francis of Mis
souri to succeed Mr. Smith as secretary
of the interior, rather surprised "Wash
ington, more because of the suddenness
with which it followed on the an
nouncement of Mr. Smith's retirement,
than because of the selection. The
reasons for Secretary Smith's voluntary
withdrawal from the cabinet were un
derstood as soon as the announcement
was made on Saturday, and it was
naturally expected that as he had re
tired because he felt obliged to support
the nominee of his party at Chicago his
successor would be in full harmony
with Mr. Cleveland on the money ques
tion. There was a feeling also that the
president would probably select Mr.
Smith's successor from the middle west,
as the south was already represented in
his cfiicial family. Speculation, there
fore, went to Missouri, Indiana and Illi
nois, and the names of ex-Governor
Francis, ex-Congressman Bynum and
others naturally suggested themselves.
Secretary Smith evinced the greatest
satisfaction when he heard the name of
his successor. He said in response to a
question: "I have the pleasure of an
intimate personal acquaintance with ex
Governor Francis and esteem him most
highly. He is a man of marked ability.
Of course I feel a deep interest in the
department aud do not know anyone to
whom I would more willingly turn it
oyer." Secretary Smith immediately
telegraphed congratulations to ex-Governor
Francis He expectsto relinquish
his office to his successor .on Sept. 1.

The magnificent gown which she wore

their eyes upon a real Paris made dress.
It was a treat such as they had never
before seen. But it told a great big

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited

alterative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and per
haps fatal bilious fevers No medicine
will act more surely in counteracting
and freeing the system from the malarial
poison, headache, indigestion, consti
pation, dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.

" FALSE OR FOOLISH.
Bryaa Is One or the Other la His Fredle
tloBs About Gold.
If Mr. Bryan continues to allow his
rhetorical powers to have full swing, he
will make so many false statements be
fore election day that his present sobri
quet will bo exchanged for that of "tho
Boy Ananias."
His recent assertion that "if. we have
a gold standard prices will go down" is
one of those statements which are as
close to a direct falsehood as anything
in the nature of a prediction can be. If
Mr. Bryan consulted statistics, which
are readily accessible, ho would find,
that the facts incontrovertibly disprove
his statement
The gold standard went into effect in
1879 by the resumption of specie pay
ments. In that year tho averago export
price of wheat was $1.07. In 1880 it
was $1.25; in 1881, $1.11; in 1882,
$1.19; in 1883, $1.13; in 1884, $1.07.
In 1879 the export- price of cotton was
Lijn round figures) 9 cents. In tho six
years following it ranged from 10 to 11.
It was 10 again in 1890 and 1891, just
as wheat was $1.03 again in 1892. The
export price of butter was 5 cents higher
in 1894 than in 1879, and that of cheese
nearly 1 cent higher. Wages also ad
vanced after 1879 till free trade doc
trines and a Democratic tariff impaired
the confidence of capital and blighted
our prosperity.
Mr. Bryan knows he is falsifying, or
he is not sufficiently acquainted with
the facts of our economic history to peso
as an adviser of the people. He must
accept one horn of tho dilemma. Bos

The effort of Chairman Jones to escapo
from Altgeld and -his anarchist crew is an
evidence that Mr. Jones is honest if mis
guided. Bat it is too lato for the Popo
crats to shako off Altgeld. Altgeld was
the controlling influence of the Chicago
convention. He mado the platform; he
mado Jones; he made Bryan. Jones is a
figure for the campaign only. Bryan and
the platform nro things to endure if Mc
Kinley should bo defeated. And Bryan has
not repudiated Altgeld and anarchy, re
pudiation and revolution, piracy and prcd
atoriness. THE WAGE SAVERS' DEMAND.

Honest, Fall Value Dollar.
At the recent meeting of the United
States League of Building Associations
at Philadelphia the following resolu
tions were adopted amid great enthusi
asm: "That the United States League of
Building Associations, by its delegates
in convention assembled, declares that
it is tho sense of the meeting that the
interests of all shareholders in building
and loan associations demand that the
present standard of value upon which
our monetary .system has been based
since the resumption of specie payments
in 1879 shall remain unchanged and
inviolate.
"That we believe that the interests of
every class of the community, and espe
cially those of the great wage earning
class, imperatively demand that every
dollar in circulation, whether coin or
paper, shall bo equal in purchasing
power, and therefore equal in value to
every other.
"That patriotism demands that the
dollar bearing the mint mark of the
United States be the equal of the dollar
of the most advanced nations of the
world and entitled to full faith and
credit all the world over, and to that
end must be maintained free from all
suspicion of debasement and repudia
tion." Bucklen's Arnica Salve-
