Took Breakfast at Union Station and Made a Short Speech to the Crowd That Greeted Him. William Jennings Bryan, Democracy’s candidate for the Presidency, passed through St. Louis Thursday morning en route to his Nebraska home. He was accompanied by his wife and three chil- dren. His stay here Was limited to a short half „our. He breakfasted in the Union Sta- tion restaurant and then boarded his train for the West. | “Silver Dick’’ Bland took the same train at Vandeventer Station for Jefferson City. The demonstration accorded the young leader shows how deeply the people feei. They hailed him as their deliverer. “No crown of thorns, no cross of gold.“ they cried, as the young champion of free silver strode down the long, densely crowd- ed platform tom his train. And then he bowed and smiled and won their hearts. Mr. Bryan .was due to arrive here from his home in Salem, III, where he has been’ visiting his relatives, at 8:32 o’cIock. He came by way of the Baltimore & Ohio. Owing to the demonstrations along the route hig train was delayed and it was 8:40 before the big engine that pulled him came puffin nto the station. At East St. Louis a tremendous crowd was at the Relay Depot to greet the Ne- Dbraska orator. He was obliged to make a little speech. It was not long, but in a happy vein and the people cheered: him to the echo. f lle the announcement that the free silver? candidate would spend thirty min- utes in the city was tardy enough people who were anxious to see him learned of his coming to Mil the great wide midway of the Union Station so that passage to and fro was 3 impossible.

He held his hat in his hand and smiled and bowed again and again, but still the calls for a „Bring a box.“ said sone one. Some one else obeyed, and the candidate stepped on it and looked out over the sway- ing, bébbing heads. “No crown of thorns; no cross of gold,“ shouted a man by his side. A wave of enthusiasm swept over the throng, stretching a block down the long midway, to either side N A light flashed in the orator's eye. He bowed again, more profoundly, and the smile on his face illumined every feature, Then he raised his hand, mutely asking for silence. The crowd obeyed. “I did not come here to make a speech.“ said the Nebraskan, and then he stopped — moment to let the enthusiasm quiet wn. “Hats off!“ pened those behind to those in front, and off.went the hats. ‘ “If this enthusiasm continues,” went on the speaker, “until next November, I have no fears as to the result. I am afraid you all think I do nothing but talk, but I assure you I occasionally eat.“ Then he stopped and began looking around. Finally his eyes fell on Mrs. Bry- an, who was standing close by. “Although I think a great deal of you all,“ continued the speaker, I see some one here to whom I am more closely bound and I think we had better and eat.“ With this he step down from his chair and stepped through the doors, everyone cheering as he disappeared. Once inside Mr. and Mrs. Bryan hurried up to the dining-toom. They ordered a light breakfast, for they had but a few minutes. It was almost 9 o’clock when they sat down to the table. The Missouri Pacific Officials concluded to hold their train ten minutes. During their hasty meal many of the rowd looked in on them from the head f the stairs. With the exception of Col. ell, the distinguished couple gat alone: “Bryan’s a Democrat,” remarked one man, looking at his watch, “but that breakfast’s gne thing he'll have to bolt if he catches his train.” The waiters hustled for the visitors’ as they never hustled before and succeeded in getting them their breakfast in time. Hav- ing eaten, they hurried downstairs, throu the cheering crowd again and onto e train, which pulled out immediately. Mr. Blend was expected to be on hand at the Station to take the same train for Jefferson City, where he speaks to-night, but at the last moment, he deemed it more advisable to go to Vandeventer Station and get on there. a He drove out in a carriage, and was on the platform waiting when the train ar- rived.

It may be that neither of them will declare their intentions pre- vious to the State Convention, but they feel sure that a majority of the convention will be for supporting the ticket. It can also be safely said that Secretary Lamont will also abide by the decision of the con- vention. ' The conference at ex-Secretary Whitney’s on Tuesday was also a dinner party. Those -present besides the host were Senators Him, Brice and Gorman, Secretary Lamont and Mayor Hinckley, the chairman of the ‘State Committee.

He said that as he had publicly committed himself wo t be fair for him to remain. ” gy ew with Senator Smith was by the conference, for it had been re with the advice of Mr. Whitney,’ and all the members of the dinner y were. familiar with it. They thought it would be a good plan to follow the sugges- tions of the interview and to continue in silence for a week or so longer and in the meantime. to see about the control of the State Convention. “ Senator Gorman was also discussed, and it was agreed that the situation was more rplexing than had been anticipated.

It is only because they were not sat- isfied at all that they became free and in- dependent, and that we have the Govern- ment which we have to-day. And so, when a question is raised, we ought not to de- nounce the man who raises it as an agi- tator. We should simply inquire, “Is t e proposition which he presents a right one? Jefferson has told us that ohe of the great duties of government was to protect men from injury at the hands of their fellows. It is an idea that we must consider to-day. Every act which begins Thou shalt not’ is simply an act to protect some individual from some other individual, to do which to-day the restraining power of Government is as necessary as it ever was. Aye, to-day, when there are great aggre- gations of wealth, with ine power which wealth brings, when these come in contact with humbler members of society, the strong arm of Government is necessary to protect the weak from the aggtessions of thé strong, and, my friends, say to you to-night that no Government is worthy of the name which is not strong enough to rotect the humbilest citizen in all the land rom the greatest citizen in all the land.

They will get over this pretty soon and be as enthusiastic for Bryan as they would have been for me. As to myself, I really feel as H a grave responsibility had been lifted from my shoulders and transferred to another. Bryan is a strong man. iI believe we are going to win this fight with him, but if we don’t the cause won’t be lost, and we will enter the fight four. years from now It is bound to win in the end. The Ameri- can people by tradition and principle are against the single gold standard and sooner or later will find a way to assert their will.”’ When asked about his plans for the fu- ture, Mr. Bland said: „J want to go back to Congress. That is my place. I want to continue the fight there for the restoration of silver. In any other position I could not be of much serv- ice to the party or country. I have helped keep this issue alive for twenty years, and I believe I can‘d@ more good in the House, now that the people have been aroused, than in any other position in which they might place me.“ “But, Mr. Bland, a great many of 1 friends still insist-that you be placed at the head of the State ticket- this year,” the reporter suggested, and some say that your nomination Governor may be nec- essary to save uri.“ “If my nomination for Governor is neces- gary to save Migsouri, then we will lose everything.“ declar Mr. Bland, with es ositiveness. 1725 don't believe it.

Waddill has written me that he would do the same, and I see that Mr. Ball is also advocating my nomination for Governor. Ot course the Governorship of Misouri is ciate, and I am not unmindful of the com- pliment implied in offering me the nomina- tion for the office, but I have no heart in politics outside of this silver fight and want to continue it in Congress.” „But suppose, Mr. Bland, that the con- vention at Jefferson City next month should be stampeded to you and the gubernatorial nomination were given you unanimously, would you then decline it?“ was asked. “Oh, pshaw!’ was the somewhat petulant exclamation.

THE RELIEF LOAN FUND. The Merchants’ Exchange Relief Com- mittee has taken a wise step in appealing to the subscribers to the Emergency Re- lief Fund to allow the fund already sub- scribed to be used in aiding with loans the most needy of the cyclone sufferers. | The Post-Dispatch has urged all along - the desirableness of making this fund serviceable in spite of the fact that the minimum of $250,000 was not reached. The . fund now amounts to $148,000, and e great deal could be done with that eum in plac- ing the cyclone sufferers upon their feet. If the subscriber? to this fund sist „that nothing shall be done unless the full $2£0,000 is subscribed, it will be charged that they were more desirous of making da showing than of affording relief to those in dire need. on A little help promptiy given is better . a great flourish of trumpets that in the end accomplishes nothing. MORE RIGHTEOUS LAW. Judge Gantt, who delivered and en- forced the decision of the Missouri Su- ' preme Court against the Busites in the School Board, has again asserted the Majesty of law against that lawless body, and again defended public right against with which Rebenack’s lawyers had at- tempted to defend him. “A transparent scheme to evade the law,” and “a bung- ling, fraudulent scheme,” is the way - City Councilor Clarke has introduced a bill obligating the city to pay the janitor 4 te Armory, estimated at $3,500 a year; Pon pay $500 towards the maintenance of A. maintained, this bill cannot as there is nothing in the ing for the militia that — a bill, a State organization. » equip es of militia, While it militia is practically a force and is 80 coneld- tes, the only authority that they shall enlarge the eT beta force so as to ‘ : 8 * 8 Rag 2 . * „Battery A $500 out of tity ‘militia. . ‘2 The city has such heavy demands upon its resources that it ought not to be Called upon to pay expenses not author- ized by law, and which should be pro- vided for, as heretofore, through volun- tary contributions. STRIKING THE KEYNOTE. „In his speech at Centralia Mr. Bryan struck the key-note of the Democratic campaign. The question that is now to be deter- mined by the American people is net simply one of monetary reform. It is not summed up in the demand for the resto- ration of the free coinage of silver at the old legal ratio. The real question, the vital question, is whether Europe shall dictate and control] the financial policy of the United States, or whether the American people shall run their own business in their own way. The gold standard men admit that gold monometallism is not desirable in ‘itself. The Republican platform declares for its maintenance only until bimetal- lism can be substituted for it by inter- natlonal agreement. agreement cannot be obtained without England’s consent, this means that the United States shall maintain an admit- tedly bad financial policy until England consents to our having something better. If we are to surrender to England the tight to dictate our financial policy, why not also our tariff policy? And if our tariff policy, why not all our interna- tional arrangements, including the mak- ing of treaties and the like? The American people will never sub- mit to this financial servitude to En- ‘gland. Patriotism is involved as well as self-interest. Mr. Bryan does Well to ap- peal to the sentiment of national pride. The gold standard policy is one of inter- national degradation. —_—————— — — THREATS AND EPITHETS. It is to be hoped that a great many Eastern men will feel ashamed of them- selves after the excitement has cooled down and they find that the country is safe in spite of what was done at Chicago and their incendiary comments thereon. : A Populist out West was prosecuted by the Postal authorities a few days ago for sending a postal card to a news- paper, stating that if Cleveland and Car- lisle came out West there were men ready to hang them. And now we have E. Ellery Anderson, ex-President of the New York Reform Club, a Wall Street Democrat, and presumably a well-mean- ing gentleman, sending a message to the New York Journal to the effect that Bryan is a revolutionist and his follow- ers no better. We want them with red lags,“ says Mr. Anderson, “so that there will be provocation for shooting them down.“ A great political party, with an honor- able record of a hundred years, pro- nounces in favor of the money of the constitution and against the abuse of centralized power, and these Eastern Wall Street mouth- pieces denounce it as “a horde of Anarchists.” Their organg teem with such epithets as “political charlatans, repudiationists, anarchists, socialists, communists, ignorant mob, pirates, free- booters, demagogues, criminals.”’ Men who are obliged to resort to epi- thets and hysterical screeches confess that they have no case. This sort of talk hurts no one but those who indulge in it. No one is déceived by it, and its only effect is to make them ridiculous. —_——_ao>—_ — — — ISOLATION OF JAPAN. We are a long time in getting the full details of the great seismic disaster which occurred in Japan about a month ago, and which, combining the horrors of an ®arthquake and tidal wave, blotted out many cities and thousands of lives. But every new report increases the mortality. The latest estimate is that 50,000 lives were lost. if Japan is to meet the exaggerated ex- pectations which followed her successful war with China, it will not be long until ane is commected by cable with Hurope and America. Her present isolated posi- tion, if it is continued, will hold her in an inferior rank among nations. It is harder now to get news out of Japan than it is out of any of the countries of South America, some of which are not as highly civilized as Japan undoubtedly is. The commercial possibilities in Japan are recognized but not utilized dy the modern world. It is a significant fact that nearly all the colossal enterprises of the close of the century are being pushed by England. England is building great railroad systems and chartering great commercial companies in Africa. She is doing nothing in Asia, and nothing of great importance outside the Trans- Siberian railway is being done there. Under the gold standard England has cornered the available capital of the world. That is why England is opposed to international conferences. — c — The story that a colleague of Webster has bolted the Democratic ticket is not saddening. First, because he lives a long way Bast; and, second, because a man may have been a colleague of Webster and yet have been a very ordinary per- son. The silver wave will roll right on over Mr. Webster's colleague and every other bolter. 2 Herant M. Kiretohjinn, the Armenian who. occupied the same couch with Mr. Bryan in the crowded city of St. Louis, would have been unusually wakeful, per- haps, if he had known he was reposing so near to the next President of the greatest nation on earth. Good silver men will be needed in Con- reas and the fact that Bland is going back there will stimulate American voters to work for the election of such men as will aid the great Missourian in the cause of honest money. As a medium for the circulation of news, literature, advertisements and all the matter that goes to make up a first- Class newspaper, the —— stands first in 8t. L. Louis.

Should there be such a ticket nobody could so properly head it as Mr. Cleveland him- self. The progress of the silver movement has been steadily misrepresented by the gold standard organs. They began their misrepresentations 80 early that their campaign lies are already discounted. The Chicago _ Record is mistaken. Neither Col. Watterson nor Mr. Carlisle is strong in the South on the financial issue. The South will tie itself to wep Street for no man. —ͤ— — — -¼. „Partles are not made to be worshiped,” says Mr. Bryan. Certainly there are too many party worshipers. A party without a good cause is but as a s tinkling cymbal. If Uncle Filley had # geén one of his representatives trying to bribe a fellow- man, @ big reform blush would have suf- fused “De Ole Man’ 8” countenance. Speaking of crazes, the goldbug jour- nals appear to have gone crazy. They have never been more intemperate and intolerant, abusive and mendacious. — “% — — Most of the alleged Democrats who are heralding their disgust at the Chicago nomination are men with whom the party has long been disgusted. Mr. Cleveland's cuckoos have very little longer to make themselves heard, and véry little attention will be paid to what an office-holder says this year. Mr. McKinley is not lacking in jaw. He simply lacks the courage to speak as plainly and unmistakably as a candidate | for President ought to speak. The silver idea has traveled rapidly and far, and as the traveling men go over the country it will reach all sorts of places where people think. Mr. Bryan is rapidly - laying the phan- toms conjured up by politicians and other designing persons. He is a man whom the people can and will trust. oe — A demand tor the commonest justice is not Anarchy, and disinterested, fair- minded men will not be deceived by those who pretend that it is. ee — Men who do not become tax-payers until they are elected to office cannot be thought to be especially devoted to the welfare of the city. _— = 2» ü While the cuckoos are blatantly adver- tising themselves as bolters, the enthu- siasm for the people's ticket is every- where growing. . _ — ml eee plutocrats will have very little influence this year.

The tragic death of Austin Corbin has left as his #uc- cessor in wealth this reputed possessor of a fortune of $12,000,000. The Washington gossips are telling a good story on Senator Marion Butler of North Carolina, When he made his speech on the bond sale bill he invited his wife up to the Senate to watch his effort from the gallery. It was so long that she went to sleep, leaning on the front rail of the gallery, not caring to go out, and in that way make folks think she was uninterested in what her better half was saying. Some Senator went and told Butler that his speech Had put his. own wife to sleep. The Senator saw the point and wound up his brilliant remarks a good deal sooner than he expected to. WOMEN OF NOTE. The statue of Ophelia on the monument to be erected in memory of Ambroise Thomas reproduces the features of Christine Nilsson, An effort is being made to nave the body of Kate Field transported from Hawaii, where she died, to the burial place of John Brown, among the Adirondacks. That was the wish she expressed and her friends de- sire to raise $1,000 to carry it out. Mrs, Josephine Jarocka, Count Pulaski’s grandniece, who came to this country in 1873 to prosecute a claim against the United States Government for money advanced to the Colonial Confederation during ine Tove: lution by Pulaski, is now living in Brooklyn in poverty, dependent upon charity for bed and food. A wedding present to the Princess Maud, which every wheelwoman will envy her, is a band of six bells, alternately gold and silver, which are strung on a band of white leather, studded with turquoise and out- lined with gold.

You know this and I know it, and what fool- ery to be toasting an independent press. We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes.. We are jumping-jacks, Our time, our talent, our lives, our possi- bilities, are all the property of other men, We are intellectual prostitutes.” The Rising of the People. From the Washington Post. It will not do to ignore so gigantic a demonstration. It were folly to treat it as a peevish and insignificant caprice, We have to reckon with this outburst which cannot be disposed of by a contemptuous gesture. The gold men who went to Chi- cago ten days ago made the mistake of as- suming that they had to deal with a mere ephemeral craze, and they made the further and the irretrievable mistake of dealing with it on the heroic plan. They found, too late, that it was no fad, no lukewarm acad- emic theory, no lifeless syllogism, They found themselves confronted by a living, palpitating, thrilling movement, into which men had flung their sentiments, their con- victions, their very souls. It Was a move- ment not to be checked by neatly-rounded schoolroom discipline. It rose before them like a gigantic surge, and it overwhelmed them as a tidal wave obliterates an idle sen- tence scratched upon the sand. Five mil- lions of living, breathing men in bitter, deadly earnest; five million men inflamed into an ecstasy—these do not make a buck- ram host to be extinguisned by a sentence and a frown. ; IN THE PUBLIC EE NS. Alexander Me Donald Minister Alexander McDonald of Lynch- burg, Va., has just arrived in this country from Teheran, bearing a special message from the new Shah to the Government of the United States. A Patriotic Democrat. From the Rich Hill (Mo.) Review. Lon Stephens has contributed more to- wards his own nomination by his visit to Richard P. Bland and his unselfish offer to withdraw in favor of Mr. Bland than by any other act of his life. If the Demoo- racy of Missouri fails to reward such fidel- ity, its lack of appreciation will revert on its own head. Lon Stephens is a pure and patriotic Democrat and possesses the ability, honor and devotion to make Missouri as good a Governor as the State ever hack We say this without ever having declared for Stephens! Tricks That ‘Are Vain. From the Owensboro (Ky.) Messenger. The Couriér Journal prints a “formidable” list of bolting newspapers, some of which are Republican outright and others always independent.

The Post-Dispatch has urged all along „the desirableness of making this fund serviceable in spite of the fact that the minimum of $250,000 was not reached. The . fund now amounts to $148,000, and a great deal could be done with that sum in plac- ing the cyclone sufferers upon their feet, If the subscriber to this fund insist „that nothing shall be done unless the full $260,000 is subscribed, it will be charged tliat they were more desirous of making a Showing than of affording relief’ to those in dire need. A little help promptly given is better mS than a great flourish of trumpets that in Be: the end accomplishes nothing. MORE RIGHTEOUS LAW. Judge Gantt, who delivered and en- _forced the decision of the Missouri Su- preme Court against the Busites in the 8 School Board, has again asserted the — majesty of law against that lawless body, 5 and again defended public right against . its assertion of a private snap. In the decision unseating Rebenack, a ae Busite member of the Board and one of * those recently imprisoned for lawlessness and contempt of court, Judge Gantt as brushes aside the filmsy technicalities ae with which Rebenack’s lawyers had at- d tempted to defend him.

STRIKING THE KEYNOTE. „In his speech at Centralia Mr. Bryan struck the key-note of the Democratic campaign. The question that is now to be deter- mined by the American people is net simply one of monetary reform. It is not summed up in the demand for the resto- ration of the free coinage of silver at the old legal ratio. The real question, the vital question, is whether Europe shall dictate and control the financial policy of the United States, or whether the American people shall run theit own business in their own way. The gold standard men admit that gold monometallism is not desirable in ‘itself. The Republican platform declares for its maintenance only until bimetal- ligm can be substituted for it by inter- natlonal agreement. As international |: agreement cannot be obtained without England’s consent, this means that the United States shall maintain an admit- tedly bad financial policy until England consents to our having something better. If we are to surrender to England the tight to dictate our financial policy, why not also our tariff policy? And if our tariff policy, why not all our interna- tional arrangements, including the mak- ing of treaties and the like? The American people will never sub- mit to this financial servitude to En- gland. Patriotism is involved as well as self-interest. Mr. Bryan does Well to ap- peal to the sentiment of national pride. The gold standard policy is one of inter- national degradation. | — —— — — THREATS AND EPITHETS. It is to be hoped that a great many Eastern men will feel ashamed of them- selves after the excitement has cooled down and they find that the country is safe in spite of what was done at Chicago and their incendiary comments thereon. . A Populist out West was prosecuted by the Postal authorities a few days ago for sending a postal card to a news- paper, stating that if Cleveland and Car- lisle came out West there were men ready to hang them. And now we have E. Ellery Anderson, ex-President of the New York Reform Club, a Wall Street Democrat, and presumably a well-mean- ing gentleman, sending a message to the New York Journal to the effect that Bryan is a revolutionist and his follow- ers no better. We want them with red lags,“ says Mr. Anderson, so that there will be provocation for shooting them down.” A great political party, with an honor- able record of a hundred years, pro- nounces in favor of the money of the constitution and against the abuse of centralized power, and these Eastern Wali Street mouth- pieces denounce it as “a horde of Anarchists.” - Their organg teem with such epithets as “political charlatans, repudiationists, anarchists, socialists, communists, ignorant mob, pirates, free- booters, demagogues, criminals.” Men who are obliged to resort to epi- thets and hysterical screeches confess that they have no case. This sort of talk hurts no one but those who indulge in it. No one is déceived by it, and its only effect is to make them ridiculous. — — — — — ISOLATION OF JAPAN. We are a long time in getting the full details of the great seismic disaster which occurred in Japan about a month ago, and which, combining the horrors of an earthquake and tidal wave, blotted out many cities and thousands of lives. But every new report increases the mortality. The latest estimate is that 60,000 lives were lost. | If Japan is to meet the exaggerated ex- pectationg which followed her successful war with China, it will not be long until she is connected by cable with Hurope and America, Her present isolated posi- tion, if it is continued, will hold her in an inferior rank among nations. It 1s harder now to get news out of Japan than it is out of any of the countries of South America, some of which are not as highly civilized as Japan undoubtedly is. The commercial possibilities in Japan are recognized but not utilized dy the modern world. It is a significant fact that nearly all the colossal enterprises of the close of the century are being pushed by England. England is building great railroad systems and chartering great commercial companies in Africa. She is doing nothing in Asia, and nothing of great importance outside the Trans- Siberian railway is being done there. Under the gold standard England has cornered the available capital of the world. That is why England is opposed to international conferences. ———— The story that a colleague of Webster has bolted the Democratic ticket is not saddening. First, because he lives a long way Bast; and, second, because a man may have been a colleague of Webster and yet have been a very ordinary per- son. The silver wave will roll right on over Mr. Webster’s colleague and every other bolter. f ie PO Herant M. Kiretchjihn, the Armenian who. occupied the same couch with Mr. Bryan in the crowded city of St. Louis, would have beén unusually wakeful, per- haps, if he had known he was reposing so near to the next President of the greatest nation on earth. Good silver men will be needed in Con- gress and the fact that Bland is going back there will stimulate American voters to work for the election of such men as will aid the great Missourian in the cause of honest money. As a medium for the circulation of news, literature, advertisements and all the matter that goes to make up a first- class newspaper, the Post-Dispatch stands first in St. Louis. 3 The silver Democrats are not in the least disturbed by Col. Watterson’s -hand-bill. Col. Watterson is in Europe and knows very little about what is go- here.

Should there be such a ticket nobody could 80 properly head it as Mr. Cleveland him- self. | 4 ** 1 — The progress of the silver movement has been steadily misrepresented by the gold standard organs. They began their misrepresentations 80 early that their campaign lies are already discounted. The Chicago Record is mistaken. Neither Col. Watterson nor Mr. Carlisle is strong in the South on the financial issue. The South will tie itself to Wal Street for no man. . i —— © “Parties are not made to be worshiped,” says Mr. Bryan. Certainly there are too many party worshipers. A party without. a good cause is but as a tinkling cymbal. If Uncle Filley had seén one of his representatives trying to bribe a fellow- man, a big reform blush would have suf- fused “De Ole Man's“ countenance. Speaking of crazes, the goldbug jour- nals appear to have gone crazy. They have never been more intemperate and intolerant, abusive and mendacious. rc Most of the alleged Democrats who are heralding their disgust at the Chicago nomination are men with whom the party has long been disgusted. Mr. Cleveland’s cuckoos have very little longer to make themselves heard, and véry little attention will be paid to what an office-holder says this year. Mr. McKinley is not lacking in jaw. He simply lacks the courage to speak as plainly and unmistakably as a candidate for President ought to speak. The silver idea has traveled rapidly and far, and as the traveling men go over the country it will reach all sorts of places where people think. Mr. Bryan is rapidly laying the phan- toms conjured up by politicians and other designing persons. He is a man whom the people can and will trust. — wer A demand for the commonest justice is not Anarchy, and disinterested, fair- minded men will not be deceived by those who pretend that it is. Men who do not become tax-payers until they are elected to office cannot be thought to be especially devoted to the welfare of the city. — ;éa_ While the cuckoos are blatantly adver- tising themselves as bolters, the enthu- siasm for the people's ticket is every- where growing. 2 plutocrats will have very little influence this year. The people’s eyes are wide open. — ee ee Let the patriots vote this year and it and the money sharps flock together. Where one goldbug goes over to MeKin- ley a hundred silver men of varying political opinions get together. Mr. Bland is the best judge of what 1s best for both himself and for the country. He will go. to Congress. — —— — — Mr. McKinley is talking kindly to the women because he knows what a snub they got in his platform. The silver wave may even lap the shores of Europe before Col. Watterson returns to us. Words fitly spoken are like apples of gold in pictures of silver. That is Bry- an’s speech. The truest Democrats of the United States want neither a third term nor 4 third ticket. “Claims” and misrepresentations will not eleot Mr. Minen, on a gold plat- form, — 1 Perhaps Jaller Wagner will eventually be able to show that the rats ate Shep- ard. ö ' Is it possible that praying and singing are “unusual noises” in Belleville?

The Washington gossips are telling a good story on Senator Marion Butler of North Carolina, When he made his speech on the bond sale bill he invited his wife up to the Senate to watch his effort from the gallery. It was so long that she went to sleep, leaning on the front rail of the gallery, not caring to go out, and in that way make folks think she was uninterested in what her better half was saying. Some Senator went and told Butler that his speech Had put his own wife to sleep. The Senator saw the point and wound up his brilliant remarks a good deal sooner than he expected to. WOMEN OF NOTE.

Its duties are to send out a call for @ convention of Wall street Democrats in the State, to be held at an early date, and to work up the bolt. This convention is to determine finally | the three questions discussed Wednesday: First, whether there shall be a goldbug State ticket; second, whether the fight shall also extend to the —— districts, where free silver Democrats have been nominated; third, whether everything else shall be dropped and 3 of the emocrac 1 . y thrown solidly The res ution, Which was adopted, is very elastic.

He wanted the fight carried into every Congréssional district in the State, and suggested that the free silver Democratic nominees for Congress could be defeated by the goldbugs naming candidates or in- Corning the Republican nominees. F. W. Lehman of Iowa and Dr. Carl Daen- zer ‘also advocated a third ticket.

The Sunday racing movement, a sketch of which was published exclusively in the Post-Dispatch recently, assumed definite shape last night. About 100 cyclists interested in Sunday racing met in Parlor 17, Lindell Hotel. The meeting went into executive session and then and there was formed the League of Independent Wheelmen, an . which they hope and intend shall in a few years be +4 strong rival of the League of American Wheelmen. All those present signed their names to the roll and pledged themselves to uphold the organization. The constitution and by-laws, as sug- gested by a committee appointed for that purpose, was read and adopted. @ election of temporary officers to hold oe until regular election then followed, whieh resulted as follows: President, L.“ V. Stephens; vice-president, M. J. Williams; secretary, J. F. Barsaloux; treasurer, S. T. Scaling; captain, 3 Laux; Club Com- ill Van Doren and Jos. Burger. A committee was then appointed to look up quarters after which the meeting ad- journed until next Wednesday at 8 p: m. Dr. D. D. O’Gorman, Con Molony, W. ‘J. Finnegan, A. Hoolan, O. W. Byrne, J. Jordan and P. J. Moynihan were among the prominent gentlement present, They came as Sympathizers of the wheelmen who -have taken the step of forming the above asso- ciation and can therefore use their own Judgment as to how, when and where they can compete in cycle races on the track. 3 meeting will be held Wednesday, uly NEW BICYCLE TRACK. It Is in Course of Construction at Mer- amec and Grand Avenues. While the Cycle Board of Trade, the A. A. C. and all the cycle reporters in St. Louis were building tracks on paper the “Shoot the Chutes Co.” have built a real cinder, well-banked half mile cycle track on their grounds at Meramac and Grand avenues. The track runs around the lake that has been excavated for the chute urposes. It will be a good track when finished. about a month from now. A long homestretch, wide, well-banked curves and a commodious Srandstand are in course of construction. It is said that the Sunday cycle racers have a lease on the track, but Mr. Barsa- loux denies that they have. MEYERS’ PROTEST. The Kansas City Cyclist Objects to Harding’s Win at Springfield, Mo. Another protest which affects St. Louis cyclists, has been made to the L. A. W. Rac. ing Board. A.W.Meyers of Kansas City hae protested the mile open won at Springfield, Mo., last Saturday by Bert Harding of St. Louis. It seems that the referee set a time-limit of 2:30 on the race. The first attempt re- sulted in a win for Meyers in 2:49. The time was 19 seconds beyond the limit, and the referee order t run over. This time Murdin nis in 2:85, or 5 seconds over the iimit. However, the referee decid- ed it a race and gave first prize to Harding. Hence Meyers’ — While the referee undoubtedly had the power to act as he did, it looks as if the rule, which empowers him to make such a decision, is a very bad one. If a referee was inclined to favor any con- testant he could do so very easily under such a rule. While it is improbable that Meyers’ pro- test will amount to anything, the rule is a bad one, and should be repealed. TESTIMONIAL TO QUINN.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON MIKE M’COY BY PATRICK QUINN. THE MEN WERE ROOMMATES. McCoy Cursed Quinn in a Drunken Stupor and the Latter Beat Him Until He Fractured His Skull. Patrick Quinn, a section hand for the Terminal Association, fractured the skull of Mike McCoy, fellow-workman and room- mate, Wednesday night, with a baseball bat. Quinn escaped at the time, but was ar- rested several hours afterward in Baden and locked in a cell at the O’Fallon Park Police Station. McCoy was sent to the City Hospital, where it was found that he had sustained compound comminuted fracture of the skull, and Dr. Sutter gave him but a few hours to live. McCoy and Quinn had been friends ever since the hatter came to this country from County Limerick, Ireland. They had both been raised in the same village. Quinn had worked for some time for the Merchants’ Terminal Co., but several weeks ago he went on a drunk and was discharged. He then went to live with McCoy at 411 South Fifteenth street, and it was in the front yard of that place that the assault took place. Quinn went to work with McCoy two weeks ago for the Terminal Railroad As- sociation. Both men received their wages last Monday and immediately began a spree. Erhey became very drunk by Wednesday and went home. McCoy was unable to get in the house, and stretched himself out on the settee in the front yard. Quinn, who was not so drunk, got in the house, and by 9 o' clock had sobered up some- what, and went into the yard to call Mc- fae The assault is best told in the words of Quinn. > “I was drunk,“ he said. when I went out to call Mike, and he was asleep. I shook him until he raised up. When * opened his eyes and saw me, he began to and call me the worst names That was more than 1 could stand and 1 went around to the side of the house and got a base ball bat that belonged to one of the boys at the place. When I came back Mike was sitti u rubbing his eyes. His hat was on the bac of his head. But I was so mad I didn’t know what I was doing, and when I got in sront of him I raised the heavy bat over my ad. “He seemed to have gotten over his bad humor and says, ‘Hello, Pat,’ but I never paid any attention to that, and brought my weapon down on his head with all my might, He never said anything. He just dropped over on the bench unconscious. “His head caught on the arm of the settee and rested a little higher than his shoulders. — I don’t know how many times I struck “IT saw the blood squirt and heard the heavy breathing, but I paid no attention to them. I was vicious and kept on hammer- ing him, goon I heard some one coming down the street, and I left McCoy and ran around into. the back rs carrying the bloody ba? with me. hen I got into the alle I dropped the club and ran ‘up to Clar Avenue.“ From there Quinn went down to Broad- way, got on a cable car going north and fell asleep. He was put off at the end of the line. He walked the streets until 2 o’clock in the morning, when he was arrested, McCoy was taken to the City Hospital, where Dr. Sutter and his assistants re- moved considerable of the shattered skull, but it was said that there was no hope for his recovery. A NEW PRESIDENT. St. Louis Democracy Will Elect Rolla Wells’ Successor. The “walk-out” of Mr. Rolla Wells from the St. Louis Democracy has not caused chaos in that virile organization. It is true the resignation of Mr. Wells causes an interregnum in the presidency of the organization, but it is to be y filled, and with an incumbent thoroughly in accord with the Democracy. Chairman Michael J. Casey of the Organi- gation Committee, which is composed: of a. members, one from each ward, has called a meeting of the committee in the Laclede Hotel parlors Friday night at 8:30 o’clock for the Aer of naming a successor to Mr. Wells. There is any amount of good material from which the Democracy can choose and that a man will be elected who will stick goes without saying. So far the nantes for the presi- dency are: Frank M. Hates, Robert Kern, Lieut.-Gov. John B. O’Meara and Howard Blossom. A PURSE SNATCHER CHASED. Exciting Pursuit of a Negro Thief on Locust Street.

FAVORS AN ALLIANCE Chairman Mott of the Silver Party De- clares That All Friends of Sil- ver Should Stand Together. The headquarters of Chairman Mott of the National Silver party in the Lindell Hotel is dividing interest with those of Chairman Taubeneck of the Populist party in the Commercial Building. The fact is Chairman Mott is quite popular with the Populists and keeps in close touch with the leaders of that party. . “I want to see,“ said Mr. Mott, “an agreement reached, an alliance if you please, made whereby the opponents of the single gold standard may be marshaled into a solid phalanx. I care not what may be their differences or opinions as to other issues or their theories as to party ethics. “The main question, the supreme issue is whether we are to have free silver and restore prosperity to the country, or whether the very manhood of the people of this country is to be crushed and stamp- ed out by the heel of corporate gresd and plutccratic domination. “It seems to me that in view of the unénimity with which the voters, regard- less of party, che bulk of the Republican party being excepted, have for years been demanding the restoration of silver, and now that the time has come to secure it by a direct demand from the electors, that they should get together and make good their professions of loyalty to the cause. “The times are propitious for the accom- plishment of this end, and while the war for free silver is on to last until it triumphs, it can ill afford to receive a setback. “The way to avoid that is along the lines 1 have suggested. Ambitious men should subordinate their present aims to the gen- eral good. If they will do so, the victory is assured.”’ Another pronounced National silver man who will take part in the convention next week, speaking along the lines of Chairman Mott, said: ‘ J hope our Populist friends will see their way clear to arrive at a conclusion that will throw no obstacle in the way of winning this fight for silver. : “The Populists; however, are making the mistake in discussing the py wpe of coalition or indorsement of confounding their strength with that of the free silver Republicans. In other words they estimate the two together. e touchy point with the Populists is that they do not wish to lose their identity as A party organization. 22 it may be depended upon, they wil) not do. In States where the Populists are strong they have got to be recognized, and among conservative leaders of that party. I find a spirit of willingness to support Bryan upon the basis of a fair division of the presi- dential electors. | “And this is where the distinction is to be made between the Populists and free silver Republicans. The latter are not demanding any division of electors, They see that it would defeat the very ends for which they bolted the Republican Convention. “It does seem that such an understand- ing could be and should be reached between the Populists and Democrats as indicated. It strikes me as a fair proposition for a party with quite 2,000,000 votes cannot be ex- ed to voluntarily go into liquidation “T am quite sure that when the Populist delegates from extreme West and Northwest reach here they will most cheer- fully accede to such a proposition, and it should be candidly and cordially met by the Democratic supporters of Mr. Bryan.“ PAID $4,000 FOR A JOB. And Now Mr. Grothaus Wants to Re- cover His Money. Frank M. Grothaus sued Charles E. Weh- ner of this city and P, F. Peitz of Washing- ton, Franklin County, for $4,000 and inter- est, Thursday, and in his petition alleges that fraud had been practiced on him. He states that in May, 1895, while he was ‘la resident of Washington, Mo., Peitz, who is a wealthy resident of Washington, rep- resented to him that he might obtain a good position with the. Wehner Coal Co. Peitz explained that Charles E. Wehner wanted to gain a controlling interest in the com- pany to prevent himself from being forced out, and if Grothaus would advance the money, he would be given a position.

LOST THEIR LICENSE, Secret Nuptiala of an Elderly Couple, Followed by Trouble and Much Noise. Five years of widowerhood proved too much for Lawrence Meinhardt. night watch- man at the Gravois Planing Mill. They were years of solitude, because after his wife died his four children all ran away from home and got married. When solitude began to pall upon him and he finally married last Tuesday for the sec- ond time, some of his children took it as a personal affront and treated his bride to a charivari with the assistance of neighbors. The demonstration was intended for Mein- hardt’s benefit, but he, being at work, es- ca it. rare widowhood was passed until three months ago at 3114 Arsenal street. He became acquainted with Mrs. Anna 2 a widow with two children, living at California avenue, and in order to be near her rented a cottage in the rear of her resi- dence. * 50 Meinhardt is 55 years old, and was foxy enough to know that his marriage with a widow 50 years old would probably occasion a demonstration on the part of his chil- dren and the neighbors. So, without telling any one their intentions, Meinhardt and Mrs. Stelker stole down town Tuesday afternoon and secured a marriage license. Then they went to. the office of Justice of the Peace R. B. Haughton, at Eighth and Chestnut streets, and were made one. The ceremony having deen performed, the bride thrust the marriage certificate down in her umbrella. It was very warm Tuesday, and the sun beat down so fiercely that Mrs. Meinhardt raised her umbrella. The marriage certificate fell out, but Mr. and Mrs. Meinhardt were so engrossed with each other that neither noticed it. The loss was not. noticed until they reached home. Then their frantic search for the precious document destroyed all their plans for 2 They asked the neigh- bors if they had seen the certificate any- where, and of course the secret was known all over the neighborhood within an hour. The children of the couple were naturally among the first to hear of it, and Tuesday night, with the assistance of the young men of the neighborhood, put their knowl- edge to use. ) einhardt went to work at the planin mill Tuesday night at 8 o’clock as usual. About two hours later, when Mrs. Mein- hardt had retired, there rose an unearthly Ain, and she went to the door to find the yard swarming with men and with tim pans, cowbells they performed upon with surprising vigor. White-robed forms appear at the win- dows of various houses and remonstrances against the disturbance were loud and nu- merous. It was, kept up until Mrs. Mein- hardt furnished the leader. of the gang with half a dollar with which to buy beer. When Meinhardt returned home Wednes- day morning, his bride told him of the disturbance, and stated that she recdgnized a couple of his sons in the crowd. She also told him she had been compelled to ex- pend 50 cents to. restore quiet in the neigh- borhood. Mr. Meinhardt decided that he would not prosecute his own. flesh and blood, but he figures that it would have been c r to avoid secrecy as the cost of a tied copy of the marriage certificate and the 50 cents for beer must be considered in figuring up the wedding expenses. | O'MALLEY EUCHRED MARTIN. Ran St. Louis Men Into. the Conven- tion Despite the Colonel. Capt. Michael O’Malley of the Central District Police District came back from Chicago Tuesday, looking a bit frayed, but enthusiastic over the ticket nominated by the Democrats. The Captain was made an assistant ser- geant-at-arms by Col. John I. Martin and participated actively in the exciting scenes ad the Coliseum, but he doesn’t speak well of the Colonel. He declares that Mr. Mar- tin turned his back on the St. Louis crowd after promising them all kinds of seats. “But I got them in,” said the Captain triumphently. “There wasn't a man got left and they all went.in without tickets, too.

At noon Thursday the police arrested three men in connection with the Amison murder mystery, and Chief Desmond im- mediately locked himself up in his private office with the suspects, and refused to be interrupted. The facts surrounding the arrests are kept in the greatest secrecy by the department, and from the commotion about headquar- ters when the men were brought in, it is thought that the capture is of considerable importance. > The men were driven up to the back en- trance of the Four Courts in a patrol wag- on They were each handcuffed, and were led into Chief of Detectives Desmond’s office by the back way, so as to keep reporters from seeing them.

EFFECTS OF MONOMETALCISM. Withdrawal of Any Final Payment oney Reduces the Volume and Value.of Promissory Mediums. One of the leading merchants and business men of St. Louis gives the following rea- sons why a fair-minded man, who believes in free competition, should favor the equal treatment by law of both gold and silver: 1. Because it ‘will then require less com- modities to buy a given quantity of gold, and thus restraim decline in prices. 2. Because the decreased demand for gold will bring down its value compared with silver, thus causing this last to equally rise in value. 3. Because the competition between gold and silver will act satisfactorily in coynter- acting the anti-competition features of a single metal. 4. Because as the mumber of dollars, com- prising the volume of promines, used as money is controlled by the volume of final payment or legal tender dollars; and as the values of commodities are made by volume of whole currency, so all values are really made by the volume of final payment money. 5. Because a decline of even 1 per cent on the seventy thousand millions into which the weaith of this country is now divid would be more of a loss than the whole gold of the country amounts to. 6. Because debtors borrowing a certain quantity of wealth have to pay back a much larger quantity in addition to interest if prices have been reduced between the time the debt was made and its payment. 7. Because when prices are on the decline those who buy and sell find that merchan- dise is always worth less than when pur- chased, and so the decline, being greater than any advance, comes out of their profits, which are, therefore, generally nil. 8. Because, while the wages of labor are kept up by means of the organization of em- ployes, large numbers find nothing to do, and so become not only non-producers, but a burden upon those who both pay and earn wages. 9. Because no prudent man will go into the production or sale of anything while its value is declining faster than any pros- pective profit; and so the full producing and Conanpene ability of the nation is not maintained 10. Because (although all the products of the country are finally disposed of) they do not pass from producer to consumer, or user, at a profit, and so business only ays tribute to those who loan money for t® prosecution, and there is no encourage- ment for its extension by its paying a profit. 11. Because, as all are consumers, any System which cuts off the ability to buy and use commodities at a rate that will admit of a = must finally curtail the ability of all as consumers, which in turn reacts on producers, resulting in stagna- tion, as it is called 12. Because if the coining weight adopted is more than 16 of silver to 1 of gold, all the coined silver in the A , (four thous- and millions) would have to have four thousand milhons added, if present dis- count on silver bullion in gold standard countries is to govern. While at the same time we know that ad- ding such extra weight would not add any more to its Ir power, for this is now sustain in gold standard countries by redeeming all promises in gold, and in silver countries their coins have and always will have about the same power. A fixed quantity of gold buys about double now what it formerly did, but a fixed quan- tity ofstiver buys in silver standard coun- tries abou. che same as it always did, and a gold standard would be a just one if the free coining of silver caused it to produce ev game results, 1. e., buy same quanti- ties. 18. Because it will lessen the opportuni- ties and causes for panics, which are al- most always accompanied by a withdrawal of final payment money, which in turn pro- duces a contraction of promissory money and credits, resulting in all holders of com- modities having to give more and more in exchange, while honesty requires that no more should be given, so that tose buy- ing on time need not pay back more than received. 14. Because when the Government or banks are compelled to make redemption in a single metal, and one in which a credi- tor nation persists in demanding payment, — are all the time liable to de pro- uced in our home business, by manipula nas the foreign trade, which is not more than 2 per cent of our home business.

A late edition of Wednesday’s Post-Dis- patch told of the sensation created in Judge Edmunds’ court by Chris Schawacker, the Republican leader of the First Ward, who, besides being the City Undertaker, holds down the fat office of Street Cleaning Su- perintendent. : Schawacker fairly paralyzed the officials of the court by taking out naturalization papers, and admitting that though of for- eign birth he never before applied for pa- many he was but three years of age when he came to this country, and when he became of age, 1 in a justwe's of- fice, thinking nothin more was necessary to make him a ful ged American — He explained that while he never had any doubt of his citizenship he could not regis- ter under the new election law without presenting naturalization rs or furnish- ing a satisfactory reason for mot having such proof of his right to vote: He was given minors’ papers, after being subjected to a rigid examination by Judge Edmunds. There are others in precisely the same predicament as Sone wae and some of them are disposed to complain of the pro- visions of the new law. is act requires foreign-born citizens to show their nat- uralization papers or present a satisfactory sworn statement that the evidences of cit- izenship were obtained at some time. In- quiries are made daily at the Election Com- missioner’s Office on this subject. The sec- tion reads: „Where the applicant (for E is of foreign birth, the Board of Registry shall require him ‘to produce his naturaliza- tion papers or declaration of intention, as the case may be, unless the applicant shall make affidavit that they are ost or des- troyed.’ The registration under the new law will be open in the various precincts but three days and the Central Committee of the two arties are working hard rounding up the fo reign born citizens to see that they have a clean bill so far as papers are concerned. Schawacker was ‘“guyed” unmercifully by the First Ward Democrats he encoun- tered Wednesday evening. He will be re- membered for the conspicuous part he took in the prosecution of Democrats for alleged illegal voting immediately after the 1894 election. He had considerable to say then regarding illegal Me a and gave testimony against several defendants. At that time Maj. Harrigan testified that Schawacker’s character was not good. He has held several public offices in the last twenty years, one of which was c“ ive. This was a seat in the House of } - gates, which he obtained twelve year“ o, because of a split in the Democratic ran If there is any way of prosecuting Scha- wacker for failing to conform with the law it will be taken advantage of by the First Ward Democrats, as they have many scores to settle with him. Schawacker said to a reporter that he was made a citizen when his father took Gut naturalization papers during his minority. He was defiant and said he did not care what his enemies said or did looking to a prosecution. Statesman Schawacker’s action in takin out papers caused a number of inquiries a the Election Commissioner’s office Thurs- day. German-Americans, who came to this country at a tender age, wanted to know if the naturalization of their fathers, while they were minors, did not make them cit. zens when they attained the legal age. Secretary Saunders informed all callers that there was no occasion for Schawack to take out papers if he was in a posit! to swear thet his father was a naturalized citizen. “All the Election Board will desire to know in such cases,“ he said, is that the father was naturalized during the minority of the son. Then by the act of Congress the son is a citizen without eme to take out pavers. EVIDENCE AGAINST DORR. Grand-Jury Asked to Indict the Car- thage Stone Co. Man. Charles O.

Failing to Get It Elias Wenk Blew Out His Own Brains. The body of Ellas Wenk, a Swiss, aged 30, was found Wednesday near Olivette, close to the tracks of the St. Louis, Kan- sas City & Colorado Railroad, south of the Olive street road. He had blown out his brains with a pistol. Wenk had 15 cents when he entered — Heinrich’s saloon Tuesday — nt 10 cents for beer. He spoke of tin ng work in the hborhood and W ‘le he was talking to Heinrich, Louis Kaiser, a farmer, entered and said he would give a farm hand $12 a month with board and washing. Wenk demanded $15 and when Kaiser declined to give it he said he would shoot himself rather than work for less. Wenk disappeared and his body was found Wednesday. Drowned for His Dog.
