anyone with a grain of knowledge
could accept such an Incresso of the
currency as anything near or approxi
mating the demands of "free coinage"
of silver, and a government issue of
P3per which would not be called out of
the channels of trade at the whim of
the raoney-monopollsts, regardless of
panics and wrecked fortunes and lives.

John F." Martin, helpless and blind,
on whose eyes those who hoped they
could cure Charles i Broaihvay Rouss
first experimented, says he can see.
According to Martin, Mr. Rouss beard
the other day. that his sight was being
restored, and he sent his coachman to
the little room at 192 Elizabeth' street
In New York occupied by Martin to in
quire If the reports were true.
Martin has been blind for 14 years.
Charles Broadway Rouss has walked
in darkness' more years than that,
Martin is poor, but Mr. Ronss Is rich
rich enough to offer $1,000,000 to any
one' who will restore his sight. It was
that offer that brought Martin and Mr.
Rouss together. Thousands rushed to'
the rich man with suggestions and of
fers of healing. He hired John Martin,
the drug clerk, to take his medicine for
him. , . .
-If you cre Martin," he said, "I will
let you try it on me."
April 6, 1800, Martin began to take
the medicine for Mr. Rouss. He sub
mitted himself to every sort of torture.
Ills eyes were taken out and scraped.
They were rubbed with fiery liquids.
Nikola Tesla submitted him to 100,000
volts of electricity. The only result was
that the blind man lay unconscious for
an hour. "
There came quacks, fakirs and real
scientists. ' Among the scientists were
Ppmer'oy, Knapp, Agnew, Bohn, Mit
tendorf, Janeway, Professor W. G.
Morton and Professor Edson, and still
Martin could not 6ee. Treatment of so
many kinds ruined his health. Acids
ate his stomach through, nis strength
left him. When Mr. Rouss gave up
hope of recovering his sight, he had no
more need of Martin's services.
Martin, destitute, on Feb. 14 last was
living with friends in Brooklyn. Miss
Llda A. Churchill of New York heard
of bis plight and sought him out. Miss
Churchill professes ever since girlhood
to have possessed a wonderful power
of heaiiug, a natural gift to restore
health and to cure infirmities by the
laying on of hands.
"It is a God given thing that I pos
sess," she said recently to a New York
World reporter. "I never cared to
flaunt It in. the faces of people, but I
have cured many."
And then the reporter went to see
Martin to learn what truth there Was
In the claim of this frank faced, gray
eyed woman of SO to the power to heal
by the laying on of hands.
"When she came to me and said she
would cure, me, I laughed," said Mar
tin. "1 did not believe her. 'What are
you going to give me?' I asked. Noth
Ing, she said, but that night she strok
ed, my eyes for an hour. I felt the mys
tic power from her finger tips. I have
been getting better. At first my eyes
itched a good deal. One day I found I
could see houses. Then people walk
ing were visible. And the next day I
saw an automobile for the first time In
my life. It was a great Joy. 1
"She is taking no pay and has no
agreement with me. Mr. Rouss has
withdrawn his offer, so she is not
working for that. She is not rich. She
works hard for her salary. But she is
paying for this little room for me. She
does it out of the kindness of her heart.
"All the others were working for Mr.
Rouss' millions. They tried to bribe me,
Into getting well. This little woman
tells me that she does It for the sake of
Christ. She is slowly regenerating me,
br ly and soul, and it will not he long, I
aru sure, before I am a well man.
"I lie on my couch for an hour at
night while she rubs my eyes and talks
to nie. I go to sleep at once and wake
refreshed. She says she Is simply help
ing nature help itself. Every day I can
see better. 1 1 walked over to Brooklyn
without any guide the other day."
In proof of his statement Martin
counted correctly the number of fingers
held cp. before him and went through
other simple tests successfully. , - ' . !

FOR A SUCCESSOR TO DIAZ.
Dr. Wsyl Says Transfer of Power
'Would Strengthen Confldenoe,
An Interesting report on the status
and future prospects of Mexico, is pre
sented by Dr. Walter E. Weyl, who has
recently spent six months In the coun
try on some special work for the de
partment of labor, says a Washington
dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
Dr. Weyl Is satisfied that Mexi
co has reached a position of political
stability "which will not be Impaired by
a change In the head of the govern
ment, lie sajT8 that when the country
was the theater of frequent pronunda
mentos and revolutions there did not
exist the present means of prompt com
munication by railway and telegraph.
The influx of American capital and the
manner In which It is concentrated in
the hands of a few great railways and
banks also make for order and the
permanence of existing Institutions.
The peaceful transfer of power from
President Diaz to a competent success
or would, in the opinion of Dr. Weyl,
tend to strengthen confidence In the fu
ture of Mexico rather than to Impair'
it The election Is made by congress,
thereby avoiding the strain and excite
ment of a popular rote. The choice for
the new president will probably lie be
tween Llmantour, the present minister
of finance, and General Reyes, the
head of the war. department. Llman
tour belongs to the old aristocrat stock.

The Independent' gave to its readers
not long agby an account of the sailing
of a sea-going vessel from Chicago to
Liverpool Through the lakes and the
Canadian canal system. The ship land
ed at Liverpool the other, day. The
ship and its crew have been an as
tonishment to the English. Every pa
per In Liverpool and for that matter
in Ihe ' whole kingdom had long ar
ticles concerning If- The papers de
voted to the '"shipping : interests had
columns ahoht 'it ? ' In one article the
Liverpool Journal of, Commerce said:
"A closer inquirymade on board, is
convincing of the fact that everyone of
the hands is perfectly happy and con
tented, that each and all do their work
in a whole-hearted and efficient man
ner, and : that comparing the system
adopted in hep-with that obtaining in
vessels of her class tinder the British
flag, the American method of dealing
with ships' crews is faraway ahcd of
the course adopted In ships xf our own
nationality ' -: - '
" "First-in importance, we consider Is
the matter of food on the Northwest
ern. - American ships proverbially' Hvo
well, but. 'deep water' ships under the
stars and stripes "do -not live just as
they do on the steamer now In Liver
pool from the great lakes. On boa.'d
of her, captain, mates, 'lookout men,
'wheel' men,-engineers, storekeepers,
greasers and cook, all. mess at one ta
ble, wnile the deck hands' and the fire
men are supplied 'with the same food
exactly, but they partake of It In a very
comfortable messroom- not r their
sleeping apartment by themselves.
"The arrangement Is, according , to
the unanimous - testimony. , of all on
board, excellent . ; , Nothing better ia
asked, and as for growling, such as is
the comonest. form pf Insubordination
on board an English ship, it is unheard
of.. In fact, such a contiilgency Is
placed quite out of the bounds of pos
sibility, for the only one qualified to
complain -of the Jood is the captain,
and he doubtless will be ready enough
to make -Is wishes known on that
matter It the food is cooked or served
up in anything but the best form. " 4
"The captain loses none of his In
fluence over each member of the crew,
from the chief officer down, through
this arrangement of dining with his
quartermasters and engineers and oth
ers in the one saloon and It is a de
lightful cabin, too, furnished fn pol
ished oak and glinting with glass and
silver and white linen. No, he enjoys
to the full the respect and honor due to
his position as supreme in command.
As for the chief officer, he enjoys a po
sition superior to that of the chief of
ficer of great" steamship lines, for he
is truly the captain's deputy, and what
he pleases is the will of the captain,
for these two "gentlemen work hand
and glove - in this 'cross-between-a-fresh-and-salt-water-craft.
'
"The pay on board the ship now re
ferred to is of a standard to make
Englishmen stand agasp. The chief
officer gets as much as the junior cap
tains in our lines, whilst the quarter
masters and lookouts get the wage of
the senior officers in many British
ships, namely $45, r'"
"It Is the cook," however, who fares
well, for he draws $65 a month; but
it is earned, as Is all the money that
goes for wages in this craft. It is cheap
to get" a good cook at any wage, and
the American sees this and acts accord
ingly. He not only saves .food, but
he gives satisfaction keeps the crew
pleased with themselves and everybody
else, -for It is a true . saying that the
way to a man's heart is. through his
stomach! ' . " : "
. "And here lies the secret of the bet
ter service on American vessels. The
men are expected to work; and must
almost slave at times, but they are well
fed, and woe betide the cook if a valid
complaint gets aft respecting the meBS.
British ships lack In , thi3 . essential
and loss thereby."
This testimony from an English rival
is the strongest proof that the. theories
so Ions adveca-.ed by The Independent
are the basic truths upon which all
advancement of mankind' must bo im
posed. It is well .pald and intelligent
workmen that make a nttlon. It was
recorded In the Montreal ; papers that
when this ship reached that port it
laid up there for a Csxj or tP-"o. The
crew put on thcr Sunday clothes and
went ashore. Th-?sc 'sea dogs" want
to church, bougit newspapers and read
them or small souvenir triffies to send
Lome and acted as 'lavellers usually
do to the immense surprise of the offi
cers and crews of the , ships . ly'ng
alongside of them. A captain of one
of . these . ships came aboard of the
Northwestern and made the rumd ef
the whole ship , before making , him
self known.; He could scarc-il believe
the evidence of hia own eyea He said
that if he gave the crew of his ship
blankets and pillows, they would trade
them for whisky at the first port that
the ship entered Nothing could have
better .shown the. difference in the
quality of the men. He acknowledged
that such treatment as vhe crew of
the Northwestern received would fet
the very best men.
Nowhere in all, the world have nen
been treated as men, without respond
ing in the most noble manner. On the
other hand, where men are treated aa
brutes and paid a salary hardly suffic
ient to maintain life, they begin to de
generate. The . Sampson idea intro
duced Into the American merchant ma
rine and United States navy would bo
the ruin ..of this country. Intelligence
will conquer the sea just as.it con
quered the land. - Build up the schools
and the universities and the American
citizen will need no subsidies to meet
either the merchant marine or the na
vies of the world. :
LET US 60 AHEAD
Work la tho Cans of Social, Economic and
Political Reform Must go on
The people's party is composed of
men who believe in what they teach,
with a whole heart, and with the gen
uine populist, office-holding Is a sec
ondary mattec a means to an end.
Office is a mere agency by which a ser
vant of the people carries out their will
if he is true and faithful to his trust.
Our pioneer work In the cause of so
cial, political and. economic reform
must and will go on. We can fight
and fight effectively in the. middle of
the road, if need be, for the cause of
reform. Gradually - the principles, we
represent have gained adherents and
the work of enlisting recruits will go
on. The march of progressive thought
cannot be turned back.. It is gather
ing and will continue to gather force
till its momentum is irresistible. Good
results have come from our third par
ty organization. -We combine true
Jeffersonian, democracy with genuine
Lincoln republicanism. Our ranks are
filled with men who left the Cleveland
Hill democracy. 'They are not going
back to it. Republicans who left the
corporation and trust-ridden republi
can party see nothing in the Hanna
brand of republicanism to draw them
thither; and the old-time greenbacker
may the Lord bless him and his tribe
increase is not sighing for, the flesh
pots with its Egyptian bondage. ;
We still believe in clean men, clean
methods, clean principles and a clean
conscience. V We cannot desert the
stand we have taken, nor forsake the
ground already conquered. We are
sure we are right, and let us go ahead.
The people's - party . county central
committee of Franklin' county recently
met at Ottawa, and among other good
resolutions, adopted the following:
"Resolved, That as the people's par

in Franklin county, that we believe the
time has not come to abandon its or
ganization and substitute any other vi

pledge the cordial and earnest co-operation
of the people's party to the doc

their platform of 1896 and 1900.'! . r
The Republican sheets that pretend
to believe the pops are all - dead and
