Osk of the biff lesBODB of the recent
election is that the country u tired of
daanocracy and will have no more of it
after next year.

Ik thirteen months the Gorman tariff

It is said that a law firm consisting of
Cleveland, Olney and Carlisle has already
been agreed upon, to. be "inaugurated"
after the close of the present adminis

of Uncle Sam versus Johnny Bull, they,
although employed by the former, have
steadily favored the latter at every turn.
Tit Lincoln monument at Springfield,
Illinois, which cost $200,000, contributed
by men, women and children, near and
far, is now reported to be a sham, a brick

marble. It is said that the state of Illi
nois will make it what it ought to be. It
is shameful-that jobbery should include
such a structure.
Thkbe was never a truer saying than

The republican party should improve
the time before the next presidential
nominations in making clear their posi

is not given up to gold-bng-ism as the
populists would make people believe.
So says the Fullerton Journal, and in
this matter it is eminently correct. Let

'American products and protecting home

The greatest need of the country is
plenty of work at fair wages. One mil
lion men working even at a dollar a day
for 312 days in a year would earn 312
million dollars, which is more than all
the gold product of the world. If the
'government (which is the people acting
. as a unit), would determine to develop
.the mining interests of the country, they
could give abundant employment at
good wages, and the country be greatly
benefited thereby. And why not? -
Friday's dailies contained telegrams
from Denver saying that Schlatter, the
healer, had departed from the Fox home
during the previous night, leaving this
brief note: "Mr. Fox: My. mission is

reports were current as to his where

The attorney general of Illinois has
rendered an opinion that it is illegal for

The republican party, as it mow
mast be prepared to take the reins of
government in the spring of W, aad with
a view to that end it should beforau
Uting the declaration of principles with
which it expects to go before the people
in the presidential campaign of next
year, which is to be, probably, as import
ant a contest for political power as any
the country will have seen during the
century now nearly dosing.
One of these important subjects is
that of the currency.
The party, (with all due deference to
the gentlemen who otherwise declare) is
not in favor of the single gold standard,
by any means, and this fact should be
understood very plainly by the managers
who will be entrusted to formulate the
party promises for the guidance of the
next administration.
We entirely agree with that staunch
republican paper, the Norfolk Journal,
in aaying:
"The coming financial policy should
provide in some way for the restoration
of silver toaeoequal place in the coinage
of the country; it should not destroy the
greenback but restore its highest legal
tender status; it should not provide for
a state bank currency; it should give all
forms of money fall legal tender quality;
it should prohibit all contracts exacting
payment in any particular kind of mon
ey, and above all it should be a policy
that will provide sufficient money with
which to transact the business of the
country."
The financial policy of the government
must not be dictated by those whose
interest it is to lessen the volume of
money, thus making it scarce and high,
and hard to get. We have to buy money,
just the same as we' must buy other
things needed, and it is for this very
reason that money syndicates should not
be allowed to control prices, no matter
under what specious claim.
A New York bank received the other
day from Kootenie, British Columbia, a
block of gold worth $41,857; it is also in
receipt of another block from a different
mine in the same section of country,
worth $26,111. If this sort of thing
keeps up, gold will become so fearfully
cheap that its use as money will be at an
end. In the meantime, if the coinage of
silver as money ceases, and greenbacks
are all destroyed, what will we do for our
poor millionaire money speculators un
less we issue government bonds bearing
a high rate of interest as the foundation
of a bank note to be loaned out to the
people? The general public must solve
the problem in their interest, or allow
the syndicates to continue manipulating
administrations to suit themselves.
Which shall it be?
The election news has apparently had
an alarming effect on Ambassador Bay
ard, and he has proceeded to relieve his
mind by launching forth into a tirade of
abuse of protection. But we are not
surprised. Much must be forgiven to a
man who feels himself morally bound to
explain away the record of the present
administration. Only a little over a
year ago Chairman Wilson, now post
master general, was dining and wining
with British free traders and telling
them what the Wilson bill was going to
do for them. It has done all that he
said it would (for them), and now the
people have repudiated it and its $70,
000,000 deficit a second time at the polls.
Naturally, Mr. Bayard thinks protection
is the devil in disguise. New York

SENSATION IN THE HOLMES CASE.
Attorney For ttu Defense Charged With
MauuaclariBf Evidence.
Philadelphia, Nov. 19. The evil
spirit that presides over the destinies of
H. H. Holmes, king of murderers, and
eventually destroys all who ally them
selves with him, has found another vic
tim. The first swift turn this extraor
dinary case took was on the first day of
the recent trial when the archcriminal
dismissed his lawyers and the "prisoner
at the bar" became counsel for the de
fense. Monday the tables were turned
and the counsel for the defense became
a prisoner at the bar.'
William Shoemaker, the young at
torney whose first association with the
case is obscured in the mystery which
envelops its every detail, ' passed
through an ordeal as severe as his client
had been called to face and the crisis
came when he was held under $1,500
bail to answer a charge of subornation
of perjury. This means that he manu
factured evidence tending to prove that
Benjamin F. Pitael, for whose murder
Holmes was convicted two weeks ago,
committed suicide and that Shoemaker

criminal assault on Dora Bay,a 14-year-old

his second attempt. The school board
met to investigate the first case and
with the assistance of a lawyer, the
matter was settled and Henderson vir
tually exonerated!. The girl's father,
Samuel Bay, however, was not satisfied
and wanted the matter investigated by
the court. A quarrel ensued and Hen
derson grabbed a hatchet and split Bay's
head open and on the way out met Mrs.
Bay, Mrs. McFall, a sister of his victim,
and Thomas Starkey. He struck each
in turn oh the head with his hatchet
and made his escape. The injured par-'

of them has yet died. The whole town
is scouring the country for Henderson
and further bloodshed is feared if he is
found, for he has friends who will try
to protect him.

MOTOR
CAR FULL Of PA8SCNQCM
FALLS 100 FEET.
CunxaND, Nor. 18. The people of
his city stood appalled when they real- j
land tha fall horror of the terrible aeel-:
eeat which occurred on the big Central
viaduct. It was the wont accident
that ever happened in this city, and the
story of how the motor car, loaded with
amen, women and children, had plunged
through the open draw, straight down
100 feet into the river, was told over
and over again. Thousands of people
reawiaed by the river bank all Saturday
night and thousands more were there
early Sunday ntorni&g. Great crowds
are still standing on the bridge above
the wrecked car and about the place
where the wreckage ia buried in the
river, eagerly discussing every detail of
the accident. The first reports of the
disaster have been verified in every
particular, with the possible exception
of the number of victims, which is
somewhat smaller than was at first
supposed. The work of rescuing the
bodies of the victims has gone on
steadily, and it is now believed nothing
more can be dene until the last bit of
wreckage of the car has been removed
from the river.
Maay Pathetic Seaaee.
The scenes about the river while the
work of rescue was being prosecuted
were pathetic in the. extreme. The
thousands of people who had assembled
waited for the discovery of the bodies
with bated breath. It was a sad crowd
and out of respect for the unfortunate
dead, but very little noise was made.
Occasionally the wild scream of soma
frantic woman who believed that some
one dear to her was among the unfor
tunate ones, would echo' over the
flats, only to be taken up at a distance
by some other woman whose heart was
breaking over her less. It was almost
impossible to get to the river. Patrol
wagons dashed this way and that, their
bells clanging, adding to the din and
confusion. Ambulances dashed up to
the scene, only to turn and drive away
again, carrying the remains of other
unfortunates. It was almost impossible
to work with any system. The crowd
pushed its way as near the scene as pos
sible and the efforts of the large force of
police to maintain order were almost
in vain. It was with great difficulty
that a body, when recovered, was taken
to one of the dead wagons. Four bod
ies were found almost at the same time.
They were placed on stretchers and the
solemn march' to the ambulance started.
Frayaa Oaly aa m Mather Caa.
As the bodies were passed from the
fire boat to the willing hands on shore,
an aisle was made and the bodies passed
along. Every few feet some woman
would step out from the crowd, peer
into the face of a body as it passed and
"It is not him, thank God," she would
say. And so the sad procession moved
on. As the body of a young boy was
taken from the fire boat, an old lady
nearly fell into the river in her anxiety
to see the face of the dead boy. She
would not be put back. She threw her
self on the body, looked into the face
and cried: "Thank God." Fallingupon
her knees she raised her voice to heaven
and prayed as only a mother could under
the circumstances. Pressing close
around her were anywhere from 1,000
to 1,500 people. Those who saw her
raised their hats,, and not a few joined
her in prayer. At another spot two men
were trying to hold an almost distracted
woman. She believed her husband was
on the illfated car and was almost in
sane with grief.
OiBsetee Far Dead Bedlee.
On board the fire boatt alongside of
which was the raft from which two
divers were working. Coroner Arbuckle
and several of the boat hands were busy
grappling for bodies, and all was con
fusion. A hook would catch on some
thing in the bottom of the river. The
man handling it would shout. "I've
got another." The crowd on shore who
could see what was going on on board
the boat and would take up the cry.
But in many cases the man was wrong.
his hook would bring to the surface aa
old board or a piece of rubbish. Again
the news would be carried to the anx
iously waiting crowd. All the time the
search was going on cars kept running
over the viadnct. Both rails from the
west to the east approach of the bridge
were blocked with people. In the cen
ter of the bridge men, women and chil
dren went this and that way, scream
inff , jostling each other, women tearing
their hair and calling upon God to save
their dear ones.
Women fainted and were trampled
upon by the mad, rushing crowd. It
was impossible to keep any kind of
order and the effort was finally aban
doned. It was a crowd with a common
grief. Not one of the multitude but
knew that perhaps a brother, mother,
father or sister was at the moment lying
cold in death at the bottom of the river.
Everybody tried to see everybody else,
and as a result it was hard to distin
guish anyone. From the diasy height the
thousands of people who occupied posi
tions on the bridge watched the pro
ceedings below. Their view was unob
structed and they saw everything that
took place. The second a body was
brought to the surface those at the rail
'on the bridge reported to those in the
center of the bridge and then a rush to
.the rail was made by hundreds.
: The number of victims has been in
creased to 17 by the discovery of two
more bodies in the river.

MASSACRES
OF ARMENIAN
KHARPUT.
CHRISTIANS AT
Oomtautikopu, Not. 17. The news
from the different provinces of Asia
Minor continues to be grave, confirming
beyond doubt the impression which pre
vailed here for a long time past, that
the movement hat now assumed proper
tone which have placed it beyond the
control of tiie Turkish authorities, even
if the latter were really desirous of pun
ishing the Mussulmans f or massacreing
In fact, it is considered
doubtful whether the Turkish
troons would fire on Mussulmans if they
anould be ordered to do so.
It know known that there are about
800 victims of the Kharput massacre
and that eight of the 13 buildings be
longing to the American missionaries
there were sacked and burned in spite
of the assurances .of the porte to the
United States ambassador, Mr. Alex
ander W. Terrell, that the lives and
property of the Americans would be
protected, and although it was an
nounced that Turkish gendarmes had
been detailed to guard the mission. The
American missionaries, however, es
caped and are now in a place of safety.
' The inhabitants around Kharput are
in a state of great distress from hunger,
randirtne cold weather was to set in
t - . . .
suddenly there would be much more
suffering and considerable loss of life.
From Guran-in the villayet of Sivas,
where the Kurds have been besieging
'4,000 Armenians, it is reported that all
the Armenians have been massacred.
In the district of Mardin, where there
is a large Christian population of Chal
deans and Syrians, a number of villages
have been burned to the ground, the
people are destitute and suffering from
sickness due to exposure and hunger.
This outbreak is regarded here as be
ing very significant, and as indicating
that a systematic campaign directed
from Yildiz Kiosk against all Christians,
and not against the Armenian Chris
tians in particular, as has been believed

London, Nov. 19. It is understood in
well informed circles here today that
the assembling of the British and for
eign fleets in Salonica bay is having a
good effect upon the Turkish govern
ment, and that the sultan has finally
determined to make earnest efforts to
put a stop to the bloodshed in Asia
Minor.
It is understood that the Marquis of
Salisbury has received assurances that
the sultan has dispatched commissioners
to Asia Minor instructed to put in force
as soon as practicable the reforms in
sisted upon by the powers, and that be
yond the assembling of the foreign
fleets off Salonica the powers will take
no further steps at present, being de
sirous of giving the Turkish government
every opportunity possible of restoring
order in the disturbed districts without
having recource to measures which
might add to the state of anarchy pre
vailing. Belle Haatera Demoraa Feacea.
Denver, Nov. 16. The latest report
of the whereabouts of Schlatter, "The
Healer," which seems to be authorita
tive, is that he is occupying a house on
a claim belonging to Miss Alice Booney,
daughter of A. Booney, at whose home
he was at first reported to be. The
claim is six miles from Boouey's ranch
and the house is only occupied part of
the year in compliance with the pre
emption laws. It is near Golden and
about 20 miles from Denver. Parties
left Denver in carriages for the place
named to learn the truth of the story.
The place where he treated the multi
tude for the past two months has been
thronged and the fence and other land
marks are rapidly being demolished by
relic hunters.

Milford Nebraskan: With those who
have investigated most, and those who
are beat qualified to know the facte, it is
no longer a question aa to whether gold
is to be found in paying quantities here,
they now declare that they know it is
there. And Prof. Bartlet says that he
knows that artesian wells can be had
here at a depth of not more than 800
feet, and that water will wash the gold
out in great fortunes for tho owners of
the land. And our capitalists have
enough confidence in Prof. Bartlet's
statements to go for the wells, and so.
they are now in correspondenco with men
to put down those wells. The knowl
edge of these men ought to make all our
citizens enthusiastic.
