"I am clearly of the opinion that gold and sll verat rates fixed by congress constitute the le gal standard of value in this country, and that neither congress nor any state (under the con stitution) has authority to establish any other standard or to displace this standard." Daniel Webster. "According to my views on the subject ttieeon s pi racy which beems to have been formed here and In Europe to destroy by legislation and oth erwise from three sevenths to one half the me tallic money in the 'world is the most gigantic crime of this or any other age. The consumma tion of such a scheme would ultimately entail more misery upon the human race than all the wars, pestilences and famines that ever oc curred In the history of the wor!d." John U. Carlisle, in 1878. Indiana silver democrats are about to organize a league. The democratic state committee has been called to meet at Omaha on the ICthinst. And now comes Spain with a re quest to join an international money conference. The creamery is a great educator. It not only teaches the dullest man how much better good, careful farming is than poor, but exceedingly import antit is teaching farmers the value of associated effort. Ex. Tobe Castoh has invited John G. Garlisle to meet with the bob-tail con vention in September, to give eclat to the occasion. A good many people would go to hear how Carlisle talks since he joined the great Conspiracy. The ill-tempered criticisms of 'Coin's Financial School" by Prof. Laughlin and its ready reception by the people is pretty conclusive evidence of jealousy for a successful rival, and of distrust of the common people that is always to be found among men who become rich dishonestly. The editor of Bradstreet's calls the free silver proposition "a menace to the public credit." The experience of the past two years has pretty conclusively proven that the effort to fasten the gold standard upon the country is not only a menace to but has largely de stroyed private fortunes as well as pri vate credit. Almost ever since Mr. Morton has been secretary of agriculture he has been at outs with Harrington, chief forecaster of the weather bureau, and it seems that at last, through the aid of the president, he has got rid of the obnoxious professor. Willis J. Moore of Chicago has been offered the place. It was notorious about Washington that Harrington was almost unbeara ble among his associates, and it is not doubted that the change will be a wel come one in the bureau. Property owners who have been groaning in spirit for years because of the falling off in values and in rentals don't need to go any further than the great conspiracy to destroy silver as a money metal and for the adoption of the single gold standard by the whole world. That conspiracy brought on the panic too years ago and has throt tled nearly all productive enterprise since. Work and vote for bimetal lism if you want to restore your own prosperity. Correspondence to the press from Japan gives detailed accounts of the negotiations for the loan needed by China to pay the Japanese indemnity. One writer tells how a firm of Ameri can capitalists, composed of ex-Congressman Coombs, Pierpont Morgan and others, have tried to make the loan of 3,00,000,000 taels of silver at five per cent, to run twenty years, on condition that it should be paid in gold at the present value of silver. It is likely the loan will go to a French syn dicate on better terms. Some man, who is ashamed to own who he is, is quoted by the News as to financial matters in Mexico, and tells a fearful tale of want and woe among the people there, because of a silver basis. That he is a base liar is evi dent, that he does not- state the case fairly goes without saying. But if it were true as far as he goes the fact that the condition of the poor is rapidly improving is w t to be ques tioned, because such is the united testi mony of men of reputation and truth who are not ashamed to put their names on paper. A gold basis would only make matters worse in Mexico. Henry G. Miller, in a brief, but exhaustive article in the Chicago Rec ord, proves beyond cavil, and by testi mony furnished by the perpetrators and their friends, that the panic of 1803 was not the result of inevitable or natural causes, but was brought on purposely by a combination, consisting of the treasury authoritiei (by the con sent of the president) and the banks and bankers of Wall street. The ob ject was, by means of an "object les son" in hard times, to frighten the west and south into an agreement to repeal the Sherman net. The testi mony shows that the banks, by a con certed effort, began in June by draw ing in their loans, refusing new loans tnd discounts and thus created a stringency ; the treasury aided the Hchenie by paying out gold unstintedly on deuiai.d for greenbacks, thus soon creating the belief that the treasury would soon be destitute of gold. The panic came, and it came with much greater force than .its comspirators contemplated, 750,000,000 going down in values within a few mouths. It was aided by the English governors of finances in India, who, on June 231 h, closed the Indian mints to the free coinage of silver, and while the silver men were "struck dumb," all business in America was paralyzed. The panic was on in full force. Then Mr. Cleve land issued his proclamation calling congress together in extraordinary ses sion chiefly to repeal the Sherman act, and the screws of patronage began to tighten and all the power of rewards and punishments by giving or with holding patronage began to be used up on congressmen to bring them to the president's terms in their votes on the Sherman repeal act; and circumstances show that that influence was the po tential factor in bringing enough con gressmen to terms and securing their votes for repeal. Thus, while many thousands lost their all and millions ot laborer's were thrown out of employ ment, the conspirators were successful. Silver was further degraded and the way was made plainer for the uni versal gold standard. The goldbugs of the east are in des perate straits again . Last year they sent men into Nebraska to inform its wild and wooly residents that if they elected Holcomb governor the credit of the state would be ruined past re demption, and such chumps as John A. McShane, II. W. Yates and Eunlid Martin believed the story. Now they are printing in their financial news papers, and are getting such suckers as Ilosewater to copy the stuff in the IJee, the yarn that the silver agitation is hurting the credit of the west. Its our private opinion that the necessity for it is hurting the state far more than the Shylocks of the east can hurt it. Let every western man get out of debt to eastern sharks as soou as possible, and keep out, and that will hurt them right where they deserve it. Such re ports are simply evidences of seoun drelism. The most singular thing in the world is the length of time it takes for men to learn the simplest things. They seem to want to do things in a compli cated, roundabout way, and to con stantly study how to make them more complex. For example, after the world has gone on for centuries reeling off mile after mile of red tape about the ownership and transfer of real es tate, the state of Illinois has just adopted the simple plan of opening a page in the county records for each piece of real estate in the county, and upon this are to be entered its present ownership and condition, and here after to be added notes of every mort gage, transfer, etc., so that at any moment its status may be determined at a glance. This takes away a world of expensive employment from law? ers, abstract-makers, etc. A piece of ground can now be transferred as read ily as the ownership of a bunch of pigs or fat cattle. Ex. What with increasing customs rev enues, the reopening of factories and increasing of wages in those already ! running, the McKinleyites will have a j nam time making the people believe that higher duties are needed as a panacea for the evils of the times. The fact is, McKinleyism is a back number, and the gold-grabbers were able by a conspiracy to bring on the ( the panic in spite of duties so high as to keep out most everything from abroad except what the nabobs brought in free in their trunks on their return from Europe. v Ex-Congressman McKeighan and ex-Judge Isham Beavis are to discuss the financial question at Falls City on the second of August. The proposition to be discussed i.s: "Shall the govern ment adopt the policy of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 1 to 1, with full legal ten der capacity in the payment of debts, public ana private." Mr. AlcKeighan allirms, Reavis denies. The editor of the Ashland (Jnzette has settled the money question. He has found out that the reason silver is not good money is that there are $3o0, 000,000 of silver dollars lying in the treasury vaults unused, auti only $53, 000,000 in circulation. Strange, isn't it, that he should never have learned that all but $33,000,000 of the silver in the treasury is kept there to nd ein silver certificates now in circulation! lie evidently don't know that, because he does not s:iy anything about it, and he gives the impression that Uncle Sam has 3r)0,000,000 useless metal, coined into silver dollars, on hand which he cannot get t lie people to take; but it is true, nevertheless, and the ( Jazette man would do well to take that fact into account befoie he talks finance again. Now that the income tax is knocked out and the rich men are entirely re lieved from all federal taxation by the kindness of one supreme judge who has mysteriously changed his mind in the last two mouths, the politicians are devising ways and means to raise that thirty millions of dollars that has been presented to the millionaires by the supreme court. Most of them say put heavier taxes on the poor people by in creasing the tariff; a few say increase the beer tax to twe dollars a barrel, for the people that drink beer can better afford to pay than the bankers and nabobs, but none of our so-called statesmen say anything about tryiug to put any share of the burden on the wealth of the country. It is just as well not to try that experiment again, for as parties and couits are now or ganized no law that reachas the rich can be enforced in this country. Cen tral City Democrat. The New York state bankers' asso ciation is to meet on the 10th inst., at Saratoga. Their secretary has sent out circulars including their program, w'jich, among other things, promises a speech from II. W. Yates, the gold bu: usurer of Omaha. The circular also contains slips from the address of the president, Wm. C. Cornwell, which of co.irse, is of the goldbujs order, argu ing with becoming hypocrisy for "sound money'' and "honest money ;' well knowing that he is trying to hum bug and deceive the people; that all the usurers want is a chance to dig deeper into the pockets of their custo mers, and that their whole system is planned to enable the few to live with out labor and enrich themselves at the expense of the many. It makes one tired to hear such creatures talk of honesty, while labor is robbed right and left to fill their greedy coffers. When usurers set the pace for honesty among men, civilization will lapse into barbarism. Joint AliriiiMii.

A Prominent W liolenal Grocer of Omaha Neb., Write: xi' l li n a in ii ivru Several years ajto I discovered a slight falling and bleeding of the lower bowel which increased and became very distressing. I made inquiry as tothe nature of the disease and learned that I had a somewhat aggravated case of Hemorrhoids or Piles. Was told of several remedies and used them as di rected, obtaining thereby some tem porary relief. Not being satisfied with such slight relief I cast about for a per manent cure; when a friend directed the use of the famous Magnet Pile Killeu. I used it. Immediate relief from pain followed, and soon a com plete cure was affected. Very respectfully, Oscak Allen. For sale by Gering & Co.

A BRUTAL PUNISHMENT INFLICTED IN THE CZAR'S DOMAIN. Claim That Ita Use In Some Kespecta Has Veen Abolished The Use of the Cruel Instrument Described by a Political Exile Who Has Suffered In Siberia. One never knows for certain how much of the knout is left in modern Russia. Tho telegraph wire still at times carries tho horrid whiz of it from ro mote Siberia, and only tho other day I saw mention in news from St. Peters burg of a new imperial ukase, "abolish ing the use of tho knout for the punish ment of offenses committed by the peas antry, which has hitherto been complete ly at the "mercy of tho local judges in this respect. ' I was under tho impres sion that the "local judges" had been deprived of their knout for 20 years or more, but the sender of this message Hdds that "statistics were submitted to the czar, showing that in ten years 3,000 persons, mostly guilty of thefts of prod uce, had died after punishment with the knout. ' ' Granted tho infliction of tho knout. the 3,000 deaths aro easily believed. Tho instrument itself, supposing this re port to be true, evidently dies harder than its victims. But even in Russia, where tho rod and its equivalents have had a more extended and bloody exist ence than in any other European state, the humaner spirit of the ago has been felt, and ono is disposed to regain! as ex aggerated tho statements just quoted, Certainly wo had been given to believe that the knout was abolished for all but the gravest offense as long ago as 1SC0. But Russia has never been governed wholly by its written laws, and there are regions of that empire where a ukase may be slow to reach tho 4 ' local judges. The merciful edict of 18G0, however. stopped short at the confines of Siberia, and it was with tho object of learning to what extent the knout is used in tho Siberia of today that I sought an inter view with a distinguished and very in teresting exile, M. Alexander Sochac zowski, on a visit to England. M. So chaczowski, a Polo by birth, an artist by profession, and in England to ar range for tho exhibition of a picture which will movo tho sympathies of ev ery friend of tho victims of tho czar, was a political exilo in Siberia at tho ago cf 21 and suffered 4 years in tho mines, during 2. of which ho carried, night and day, chains of which mark3 are permanently graven on his ankles. Twenty years in all were the days of hi exile, and he counts himself happy that ho did not, liko so many of his comrades in oppression, perish under that cruel yoke. Indeed ho speak3 with out bitterness and says that even in Si beria one may often forget oneself. M. Sochaczewski could say much about the knout. He had been many times a witness of its infliction. The knout, in fact, was in use in the mines during the whole of SochaczewskPs exile, and those who were condemned to it suffered in public. At tho present day M. Sochaczewski believed that it was practically abolish ed in 1893, but tho governor retains a certain discretionary power, which may mean much in Siberia. Would M. So chaczewski describe tho punishment? He took a half sheet of note paper and a pen and made a rapid sketch. "That is the knout," he said. A band of leather, as is well known, serves the execu tioner for a handle, and the knout it self is a single thong of leather, rough and very hard, tapering toward the ex tremity, where it is weighted with a ball of lead. With this tho executioner who is generally a reprieved murder er can inflict as groat or as little suf fering as he pleases. "Thus," said M. Sochaczewski, "the prisoners would sometimes give him a ruble to prove his skill, when he would strike one of them, apparently with full force, across the palin of the hand, but the blow wquld scarcely be felt and would not leave a scratch. With the same instrument he could kill at a single stroke, and was occasionally bribed by a condemned prisoner to do so, breaking the ribs and almost tearing out the heart. What number of strokes, I asked M. Sochaczewski, were ordinarily inflicted? He replied that it was of no great con sequence, inasmuch as punishment with tho knout was generally regarded as a sentence of death. A man under sen tence of 100 lashes might die at the third lash, in which case the remaining 97 would be given to the corpse. It was possible, if the executioner did not em ploy his whole art or strength, for the victim to escape death, but he would then inevitably bo a cripple for the rest of his life. There were men in the hos pital in his time whom the knout had maimed forever. I asked whether tho knout exhausted tho resources of penal discipline in Si beria. "By no means," said M. So chaczewski. Ho took up his pen again, and scratch ed me a picture of a whip called the plet, which has three tails of twisted leather, with bits of metal at the tips. It is a little less deadly than the knout, but an expert flogger can kill his victim at the fifth stroke. There is a difference in flogging with tho knout and with the plet. The knout, liko tho English ' 'cat, ' ' is laid across the back. The three tails of the plet score tho back downward, from the nape of the neck to tho loins, an d every stroke, properly given, carries away three strips of skin and bites well into the flesh. Yes. M. Sochaczewski had seen many comrades suffer under the plet. "Protest? To what end?" To very flogger ran the risk of boing cut to pieces with knout or plet if he failed to I kill or maim his victim.

Marie Wan No Doubt as Much Surprised aa Freddie Was. Young Mr. Smithera, having eaten an excellent dinner, sat down to smoke a good cigar while his wifo ran up stairs to make her toilet for tho theater. So peaceful was his state of mind that he did not even look accusingly at his watch when, after the promised "minute" had developed into 00, she entered the room. "Seems to mo that you aro looking very nice tonight, my dear," he re marked. "I am so glad you think so, darling. Of courso I care more for your admira tion than that of any ono else. Besides the Skinners sit right behind us this evening, and this dress will give her a bad headacho before tho second act is over." Mr. Smithers looked anxious. "So that is new, is it? Wasn't the old ono good enough?" "N-not quite, dear. Besides I earned the money for this ono myself. " "But how did you earn" "Oh, after you left I fell to thinking what a lot of money $25 was to spend on a wedding present for Mario when I really needed so many things. Then an idea struck mo. I remembered all those pretty things I found in your big trunk after we wero married the ones that horrid girl, whoever she was, sent back when the engagement was broken. I wouldn't have one of them myself, but it seemed a pity for them to lie there, so I went up stairs and looked them all over. I selected that lovely silver back ed mirror and cleaned it np until it look ed just liko new, and then I" "Sold it to buy the dress? I see 1" "Nothing of the kind. I bought the dress with the money you gave me. The mirror I sent to Murio with our best wishes. Won't she bo surprised, and why, Freddie, are you ill:" "Not at all, my dear I You are quite right Mario will no doubt bo much surprised, for, you see, she herself was the girl who returned those presents ; that is all!"
