KYI ry one .. ho is concerned about the welfare of his State is interest-ed in every effort to benefit its edu-cational equipment. Guilford county has bad many of its educa-tional advantages shown to the public by the recent reports of the ci muiencement exercises of the various trhools and colleges in the :y. and it may well be a ground of hope for our portion of the state that there are so many deserving institutions of learning in Guilford county. There must come to our people great good from having had the opportunity of hearing somo of the leading men in various fields of thought who have made ad-li - - to our people on various subjects. The writer desires to commend the feauture i I modern oommonce- -. which seeks to bring among our people leading educators of sterling worth, from a brief con-tact with whom one may often an inspiration not soon lost. The address which was made thiri year tu the graduating class of Guilford was of very high value from an educational and a moral standpoint. James Wood, of X'ew York, who came to Guilford to de-liver the address, is a man of very marked ability as a thinker and a historian, and possesses a power of nting his thought with rare ease and attractiveness. More than this, his force of character and dignity of personal bearing combine to lend a charm to his public speaking seldom met with. Mr. Wi.ii.1's address at Guilford could not be summarized; and yet it was of such a practical nature and was sn inspiring to those who heard it. as to lead one to wish the spirit of it might be reproduced for the general public. The necessity of education was clearly and forcibly brought out from a religious standpoint by - that our minds are the to - with which through ilis Spirit G i .. : ,- in the world. We are tun: i MI far as in us lies, I | these instruments that our work may be most elli-cient. II is our business to furnish good tools. To do this our main business in education is to bring out—to educate—what has been implanted within us. To develop our powers ol accurate thought >ment is worth far more than cramming into the mind a of facts with little or no of their relation one to an- "ther. This power of thought was illustrated by a question in a ca6e if civil service examination asked ■ n impractical teacher of a man who bad been schooled in the How W:M:_ . JLO"V:E, r In all i nsbon and Red Springs, H. c. Desirable Farm lor Sale. ir I l.ii. I. 'I!.. many Hessian soldiers came over .hiring the llevolution?" After Borne reflection the man of com-mon sense answered by saying, "A ins: lot more than ever got back,'' and he got the place for which he was being examined. The early history of North Caro-lina was dwelt upon, the worthi-ness of the original settlers point-ed out and a beautiful and appre-ciated reference made to the Meck-lenburg Declaration of Indepen-dence, with the statement that it formed the basis of the Declara-tion of lb"6, An appeal was made to all present to do our part nobly in our day as our forefathers had done in theirs; and many graceful allusions were made to the four speeches which had been given by four members of the graduating class, The address was vigorous fmm beginning to end, and all felt aroused to be their best in every work to which we may be called of I; id tn d( vote ourselves. A- no reference has been made by the PATRIOT to the visit to our Mate of Mr. Wood, it seemed sought by his coming and speech to stir up our people to be their best. A NEW DECARTMENT AT i.t II.KuKIi COLLEGE. The trustees of Guilford College in thier determination to offer ade-quate facilities in the various de-partments of learning have not overlooked the importance of physi-cal training, and have just employ-ed a young woman. Miss Lama I). Worth, who graduated with high honor at the Iloston Normal School of Gymnastics, to have charge of the Department of Physical Train-ing. This will be a feature of Guilford's training that must at-tract the attention of the public. Miss Worth graduated at Guilford College in 1892, and has taken the | entire course in the Boston Normal School, and will therefore bring to her work at Guilford a thorough knowledge of the best modern methods in conducting the Physi-cal Training School. She has not only had thorough and scientific instruction in the Ling, a Swedish system of gymnastics, but also in the general priaciples of physiolo-gy, psychology, and the hygiene of the human body, upon which sound physical training must al-ways depend. The.e will thus be brought to our county the very latest results of the highest authorities on the subject of training and caring for the body; and the Boston School will bo repeating itself at Guilford College, where no pains will be spared to secure for the school the greatest possible effi-ciency. A Miscalculation. The New York Times says: "The American Sugar I.dining Company, commonly called the Sugar Trust, has declared again its regular quarterly dividends at the rates of 12 per cent, on the common stock and 7 per cent, on the preferred, and there is in circulation some gossip about the possible addi-dition of an extra dividend before the year is out. The president of the Trust appears to have been misled by some one when he said, two or three days before the be-ginning of the recent session of Congress: " 'The operations of the company for the last three months, under the new tariff, have resulted in a loss. do not anticipate any further legislation on the subject. The great injury has been done, that of precluding the operation of the re-lineries at a profit.' "Congress, then soon to assemble, was to have before it a bill, coming over from the preceeding session, providing for the removal of the differential protective duty of one-eigth of a cent a| pound on refined sugar. The passage of this hill was afterward prevented by the repub-ican party, but the shadow of it in November last appears to have obscured completely in the mind of the president of the company the possibility of profitable refin-ing in the future under the tariff cenditions which existed then and have not been changed sinco that time." Range Men Come to Grief. The authorities have given the agents of the Wrought Iron Range Co., of St. Louis, Mo., who have been selling the Home Comfort Range in this county, quite a lively time for the past few days. War-rants were issued in nine cases, but all were not taken. In live caees the defendants were convicted and lined $50 each and costs, from which they appealed and were bound in bonds of $100 each for appearance at the next term of the Superior court. One case was con-tinued. The cases were tried be-fore .1. L. Scott, Ksq., J. P. Their manner of eelling was regarded as an attempt at evading the law to keep from paying taxes. The com-pany have a large lot of ranges shipped to a given point, some of the agents then go out with samples and take orders, securing the signa-tures of the parties to whom they sell to a contract which is a lien upon all their real and personal property, as we are informed ; those orders are turned over to other agents who at once load up wi'h ranges and deliver to intending purchasers. Capt. K. 8. Parker represented the county and state and Messrs. C. M. Busbee, of Ral-eigh, and C. E. McLean, of Bur-lington, tho defendants in the above cases.—Alamance Gleanre. Judge Golf Reversed. It will gratify a good many con-servative patriots to learn that tho Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting at Richmond, Va., has dissolved the injunction issued by Judge Goff in the South Carolina registration cases. Judge Goff held that the South Carolina registration law of 1894 was unconstitutional because it was designed to discriminate against colored voters. His order, as reported at the time, prohibited Governor Evans, the commissioner of elections in September from taking any action under the regis-tration law in question. He thus virtually undertook to forbid the exercise by the people of South Carolina of the highest prerogative of sovereignly—that of calling a convention to amend and revise the constitution of the State. Fortu-nately, the superior tribunal does not agree with his views. It seems that States still have some rights THE FRIENDS OF SILVER. The Great Convention at Memphis Last Week. Mi Mi HI-. Tenn., June 13.—From the stand point of the white money enthusiasts nothing was left to be desired by the opening of the great silver convention here yesterday. Organization was effected yester-day and the convention got down to work to-day. The convention met yesterday with the following states represented : Alabama, Ar-kansas, Colorado, Florida.Georgia, Indians, Kentucky, Louisana, Mis-sissippi, Nebraska, Montana, Ne-vada, North Carolina, Ohio, Penn-sylvania, South Carolina, Tennes-see Virginia and New Mexico. Two thousand delegates braved the torrid Bkies to bo present and every State, with few exceptions, sent its most prominent and repre-sentative men with instructions to shout for silver, vote for silver and tolerate no discussions of anything else but silver. The delegations varied greatly in size, the largest coming from Mississippi and Ten-nessee and the smallest from some of the far Western or so-called sil-ver States. The small representa-tion from the silver States was ex-plained to the convention by Gov-ernor L. Bradford I'rince, of New Mexico, on the ground that all these States bad recently attend-ed the convention at Salt Lake City. Nevertheless, said Governor Prince, not one of these States was unrep-resented. Tho convention was called to or-der at 2 o'clock. W. N. Brown, of Memphis, as chairman of the cen-tral bimetallic league of Shelby county, Tenn., which sent out the call for the convention, rapped the house to order. On the platform were the following: Thomas Scott Adams, Secretary of State of Louis-iana; M. J. Cunningham, Attorney General of Louisiana; John Fits-patrick, mayor of New Orleans; A. J. Warner, president of the Ameri-can l!i-Metallic League; Governor J. P. Clarke, Arkansas; W. J. Bry-an, edtior of the Omaha World- Herald ; Senator James H. Berry, Arkansas; Senator Stewart, Neva-da; Anson Walcott, Indiana; Sen-itor I. G. Harris, Tennessee ; Alex Delmar, California: Representative H. I). Money, Mississippi; Senator J. K. Jones, Arkansas; Senator Marion Butler, North Carolina: Senator J. '/.. George, Mississippi; Senator David Turple, Indiana; ex-Governor Eagle, Arkansas; Gov-ernor L. Bradford Prince, New Mexico; ex-Governor Benjamin Tillman, South Carolina ; Governor John Cray Evans, South Carolina. From start to finish the convention was or • of the greatest enthusiasm. Every jironounced free silver ut-terance ■vas the signal for prolonged applause, and when the various persons well known in public life, appeared on the rostrum, each received an ovation. When Chairman Brown had call-ed the convention to order, L. D. Estes offered prayer in which he implored divine guidanco for the delegates and hoped they might be led into adopting "honest money" as their platform. This created a bit of sensation until it was learned that he meant free'sil-ver. Col. Casey Young, of Memphis, then delivered the address of wel-come. Senator Turpio was then intro-duced as permanent chairman and addressed the convention. A resolution was adopted that each State name a vice president and a member of the committee on resolutions. For North Carolina T. F. Heath was named as vice president and Marion Butler as a member of the committee on reso-lutions. The following is the substance of the preamble and platform adopt ed by tho convention to-day. "The effect of gold monometalism is to establish one standard for the creditor and another for the debt-or; and there can be no more dis-honest monetary system than that which gives short measure to the borrower and long measure to the lender. Under the policy prevail-ing prior to 1S7.1 there can be no violent change in the relative value of the two metals, for a rise in val-ue of one metal is counteracted by a decreased demand and a fall in value by an increased demand. Under the operation of this bene-ficient law a stable relation was maintained between them in spite of the extreme changes relative to productions. From the first period of our history up to 1873, the right of the debtor to choose whether he should pay his debts in silver or gold coin was always recognized. The subsequent policy has been to transfer this right to the creditor, thus tending to constantly increase the value of the dearer metal and destroy the parity between them. "Believing that it iB absolutely necessary to reverse this iniquitous and ruinous policy, we therefore resolve, "That we favor the immediate restoration of silver to its former place as a full legal tender, stand-ard money equal with gold, and the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1 and upon terms of exact equal-ity- "That while we should welcome the co-operation of other nations we believe that the United States should not wait upon the pleasure of foreign governments or the con-si 'of foreign creditors, but should themselves proceed to reverse the The fight over the principles laid down by Sibley began early in the day, with no less a man than Senator Isham G. Harris at the head of the faction advocating si-mon pure Democracv. With him Watching TJs.

Gallowaj, of Memphis, finance of the world. formerly editor of the Appeal, and Governor Clarke, of Arkansas, be-sides many others of political prominence in their own parts of the country. These men said that they would secede from the conv=n tion if it endorsed Sibley's radical sentiment. Sibley said in a speech last night that the time had come to abolish the party in favor of the principle and it was to his idea the Democrats took exception. They declared the Democratic party was strong enough in itself to champion the cause of silver and they did not propose to turn over the con-vention to the Populists and Re-publicans, although these latter were welcome to the ranks of free silver. The fight spread to the room where the committee on reso-lutions was holding its delibera-tions, but fortunately it got no fur-ther. The platform as was origi-nally intended (the call being strictly non-partisan) contains no mention of any party. The con-vention adjourned to-night after speeches by W. J. Bryan, A. J. Warner and Senator Wolcott. The committee on resolutions also introduced the following reso-lution, which, like the platform, was unanimously adopted : Resolved. That a committee, composed of one member from each State, be appointed by the dele-gates thereof in this convention, whose duty it shall be to corres-pond with the representative advo-cates of bimetallism and bi-metal-lic societies, in the different sec-tions of the union, and devsie measures to advance the cause of bi-metallism throughout the United States. That this committee shall have power to cause a national conference of bi-mctallists when-ever, in the opinion of the commit-tee, the cause of bi-metallism can be advanced thereby. Said com-mittee shall have power to fill all vacancies. Will Not Wed Young Men Drink. Who There is a merry war on in Dan-bury, Conn., where the young women members of St. Peter's Tem-paranee Society have formally an-nounced that they have agreed to not marry drunkards or men likely to become drunkards, or any young men who partake of spirituous or malt liquor, wine and cider. Father Lynch.rector of St. Peter's Church, is urging this crusade on. The business men of the town are almost a unit iu opposing Father Lynch'* movement, because it will not stop until it makes Danbury a prohibition town. At the last elec-tion license was carried by a ma-jority of little more than a hundred. Father Lynch says it is impossible for a Danbury youth to strike the golden mean. Ho must be either a total abstainer or become a drunk-ard. Miss Maggie Drum, president of the society, believes that before long, if the movement spreads, all the women of the country will strike against marrying drunkarks. "It will be a grand lockout." -h■» said. "The women will not have drunk-ards as fathers of their children." —New York Special. AFTER TWENTY YEARS. Man Just Released From Prison Marries the Woman to Gain Whom He Killed a Rival. VALPARAISO, Ind., June 15.—Early in May, William J. Brown, aged 70 years, was released from the Indi-ana Penitentiary, having served a terra of 20 years at hard labor for the murder of a rival suitor of tl e woman to whom he afterwards be-came engaged. Today the white-haired i-x -con-vict was married near New Buffalo, Mich., to Miss Millie K. Jameson, who was his alllanced before jeal-ously furnished the motive for his crime. During the long lapse of time which intervened between Brown's sentence and release she remained true to him. her one pur-pose, apparently, being to accumu-late a fortune sufficient to support herself and Brown during life, the latter being incapacitated from work by reason of age. -A. RAILBOAD CE3STTER. taMuamabi \o»'i..1?,:_\ uJuc&t * * - "OXviulo .1 V />. H It becomes apparent that the probability of American free coin-age is causing other nations to think of preparations to meet the contingencv. Free coinage means more than it would have meant under the Mc- Kinley tariff. With free coinage and free trade the United States would enter the ports of Asia and Spanish America as an irresistible contestant in the supply of manu- .; factured goods. They would have | the superiority of lower cost of producing staple cotton and iron goods, added to the advantage of more convenient eurreny exchange.! England, France anil Germany j would be forced to meet such con-ditions and they know it. The I very week in which an unmistak-able declaration of intent to open their mints is issued by the United States Europe will be busy in giv-ing an international conference something decisive to do. It behooves the United States to act as soon as possible and to adopt the course which will impress the rest of the world with respect for their plane. Right there is where the political movement to commit the United States to a particular ratio in ad-vance of any investigation of that commercial fact shows its mistakes. One of the mistakes is that it di-minishes the prospects of free coin-age by losing the whole number of bimetallists who are not certain that the ratio of the law of 1837 is the accurate ratio of IS'.lo. Another mistake is that we cannot make other nations believe in the serious- j ness of a great commercial people's I purpose of resuming free coinage of silver without sober examination of the conditions which have arisen since 18(>2, our last date of silver as a money of final redemption. On the principle of free coinage all bimetallists are already united and willing to be aggressive. Very nearly all of them are ready to pledge themselves to support any ratio fixed after careful examina-tion of the conditions—whether tho ratio so reached is the 15 to 1 of India, tho 15 J to 1 of the Latin Union, the 16 to 1 of the United States or a new one suggested by ascertained facts. It has been said that the demand for a ratio is pressed only as a rallying point and to preclude false pretenses. If so, the event may be all that it should be, though wo confess inability to see how any-thing else but 16 to I could be ex-plained to a people taught to regard that as the sacred essence of the controversy. Free coinage would come with less opposition and therefore the moro quickly if all friends of silver would join in the pledge to fix a date for opening the mints and to devote a few months to conscien-tious investigation of the ratio. And we would be pretty sure to have the help of even England in securing a placo for silver in the final currency of the world. As far a? the Democratic party's success ia winning elections is con-cerned, such a policy of combine.I firmness and prudence would bo a sure conquest. It would win, and win with a Western man and West-ern ideas.—St. Louis Republic. Reckless Thoughtlessness.

A syndicate, it is said, is being formed by gentlemen of Raleigh, Durham and Charlotte, to publish North Carolina books, especially adopted to the use of schools in this state. This syndicate wishes to get control of the valuable copy-rights on "Spender's First Steps in North Carolina History," "Moore's North Carolina School History," '•North Carolina Practical Spelling Book," and "Williams' Beginners' Reader." These copyrights are now-owned by the old firm of Alfred Williams & Co., and will soon be publicly sold in winding up that firm's business. These books have been on the state list for many years, and are very popular. If the syndicate gets these copyrights a series of readers and arithmetics will follow. The judge of u Western court, in order to secure a safer and more civilized condition of all'airs in the court room, asked the twelve jury-men and the ten attorneys present to placo their pistols in a pile in the corner of the room, but these seemed In be some hesitancy in complying with the request, and the judge insisted. "If Your Honor will put his down first," suggested tho foreman of the jury, "I guess the balance of us will follow suit." "Certainly, gents," replied His Honor, and laid his gun down in the corner. In a few minutes all the others had done tho same, excepting the sheriir and his deputy, who were not included, and twenty-three pis-tols were reposing peacefully on the lloor. "Now, gents," said His Honor, suddenly whipping out a gun, "the first man that goes near that pile gets it in the neck." In an instant every man's hand went to his hip pocket, and as His Honor dived behind the desk, twen-ty- two bullets went through the window back of where he had been sitting, and twenty-two men were waiting for,him to stick his head up, but ho did nothing so rash. "Put up them guns," he yelled, "put up them guns or I'll fine every (I—n one of you for comtempt of court."

Mr. Woods Address at Commence
ment—A New Feature.
KYI ry one .. ho is concerned about
the welfare of his State is interest-ed
in every effort to benefit its edu-cational
equipment. Guilford
county has bad many of its educa-tional
advantages shown to the
public by the recent reports of the
ci muiencement exercises of the
various trhools and colleges in the
:y. and it may well be a ground
of hope for our portion of the state
that there are so many deserving
institutions of learning in Guilford
county. There must come to our
people great good from having had
the opportunity of hearing somo of
the leading men in various fields
of thought who have made ad-li
- - to our people on various
subjects.
The writer desires to commend
the feauture i I modern oommonce-
-. which seeks to bring among
our people leading educators of
sterling worth, from a brief con-tact
with whom one may often
an inspiration not soon lost.
The address which was made
thiri year tu the graduating class
of Guilford was of very high value
from an educational and a moral
standpoint. James Wood, of X'ew
York, who came to Guilford to de-liver
the address, is a man of very
marked ability as a thinker and a
historian, and possesses a power of
nting his thought with rare
ease and attractiveness. More
than this, his force of character
and dignity of personal bearing
combine to lend a charm to his
public speaking seldom met with.
Mr. Wi.ii.1's address at Guilford
could not be summarized; and yet
it was of such a practical nature
and was sn inspiring to those who
heard it. as to lead one to wish the
spirit of it might be reproduced
for the general public.
The necessity of education was
clearly and forcibly brought out
from a religious standpoint by
- that our minds are the
to - with which through ilis
Spirit G i .. : ,- in the world. We
are tun: i MI far as in us
lies, I | these instruments
that our work may be most elli-cient.
II is our business to furnish
good tools. To do this our main
business in education is to bring
out—to educate—what has been
implanted within us. To develop
our powers ol accurate thought
>ment is worth far more
than cramming into the mind a
of facts with little or no
of their relation one to an-
"ther. This power of thought was
illustrated by a question in a ca6e
if civil service examination asked

many Hessian soldiers came over
.hiring the llevolution?" After
Borne reflection the man of com-mon
sense answered by saying, "A
ins: lot more than ever got back,''
and he got the place for which he
was being examined.
The early history of North Caro-lina
was dwelt upon, the worthi-ness
of the original settlers point-ed
out and a beautiful and appre-ciated
reference made to the Meck-lenburg
Declaration of Indepen-dence,
with the statement that it
formed the basis of the Declara-tion
of lb"6, An appeal was made
to all present to do our part nobly
in our day as our forefathers had
done in theirs; and many graceful
allusions were made to the four
speeches which had been given by
four members of the graduating
class, The address was vigorous
fmm beginning to end, and all felt
aroused to be their best in every
work to which we may be called of
I; id tn d( vote ourselves.
A- no reference has been made
by the PATRIOT to the visit to our
Mate of Mr. Wood, it seemed
sought by his coming and speech
to stir up our people to be their
best.
A NEW DECARTMENT AT i.t II.KuKIi
COLLEGE.
The trustees of Guilford College
in thier determination to offer ade-quate
facilities in the various de-partments
of learning have not
overlooked the importance of physi-cal
training, and have just employ-ed
a young woman. Miss Lama I).
Worth, who graduated with high
honor at the Iloston Normal School
of Gymnastics, to have charge of
the Department of Physical Train-ing.
This will be a feature of
Guilford's training that must at-tract
the attention of the public.
Miss Worth graduated at Guilford
College in 1892, and has taken the
| entire course in the Boston Normal
School, and will therefore bring to
her work at Guilford a thorough
knowledge of the best modern
methods in conducting the Physi-cal
Training School. She has not
only had thorough and scientific
instruction in the Ling, a Swedish
system of gymnastics, but also in
the general priaciples of physiolo-gy,
psychology, and the hygiene of
the human body, upon which
sound physical training must al-ways
depend.
The.e will thus be brought to
our county the very latest results
of the highest authorities on the
subject of training and caring
for the body; and the Boston
School will bo repeating itself at
Guilford College, where no pains
will be spared to secure for the
school the greatest possible effi-ciency.
A Miscalculation.
The New York Times says: "The
American Sugar I.dining Company,
commonly called the Sugar Trust,
has declared again its regular
quarterly dividends at the rates of
12 per cent, on the common stock
and 7 per cent, on the preferred,
and there is in circulation some
gossip about the possible addi-dition
of an extra dividend before
the year is out. The president of
the Trust appears to have been
misled by some one when he said,
two or three days before the be-ginning
of the recent session of
Congress:
" 'The operations of the company
for the last three months, under the
new tariff, have resulted in a loss.
do not anticipate any further
legislation on the subject. The
great injury has been done, that of
precluding the operation of the re-lineries
at a profit.'
"Congress, then soon to assemble,
was to have before it a bill, coming
over from the preceeding session,
providing for the removal of the
differential protective duty of one-eigth
of a cent a| pound on refined
sugar. The passage of this hill was
afterward prevented by the repub-ican
party, but the shadow of it
in November last appears to have
obscured completely in the mind
of the president of the company
the possibility of profitable refin-ing
in the future under the tariff
cenditions which existed then and
have not been changed sinco that
time."
Range Men Come to Grief.
The authorities have given the
agents of the Wrought Iron Range
Co., of St. Louis, Mo., who have
been selling the Home Comfort
Range in this county, quite a lively
time for the past few days. War-rants
were issued in nine cases,
but all were not taken. In live
caees the defendants were convicted
and lined $50 each and costs, from
which they appealed and were
bound in bonds of $100 each for
appearance at the next term of the
Superior court. One case was con-tinued.
The cases were tried be-fore
.1. L. Scott, Ksq., J. P. Their
manner of eelling was regarded as
an attempt at evading the law to
keep from paying taxes. The com-pany
have a large lot of ranges
shipped to a given point, some of
the agents then go out with samples
and take orders, securing the signa-tures
of the parties to whom they
sell to a contract which is a lien
upon all their real and personal
property, as we are informed ; those
orders are turned over to other
agents who at once load up wi'h
ranges and deliver to intending
purchasers. Capt. K. 8. Parker
represented the county and state
and Messrs. C. M. Busbee, of Ral-eigh,
and C. E. McLean, of Bur-lington,
tho defendants in the above
cases.—Alamance Gleanre.
Judge Golf Reversed.
It will gratify a good many con-servative
patriots to learn that tho
Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting at
Richmond, Va., has dissolved the
injunction issued by Judge Goff in
the South Carolina registration
cases. Judge Goff held that the
South Carolina registration law of
1894 was unconstitutional because
it was designed to discriminate
against colored voters. His order,
as reported at the time, prohibited
Governor Evans, the commissioner
of elections in September from
taking any action under the regis-tration
law in question. He thus
virtually undertook to forbid the
exercise by the people of South
Carolina of the highest prerogative
of sovereignly—that of calling a
convention to amend and revise the
constitution of the State. Fortu-nately,
the superior tribunal does
not agree with his views. It seems
that States still have some rights
THE FRIENDS OF SILVER.
The Great Convention at Memphis
Last Week.
Mi Mi HI-. Tenn., June 13.—From
the stand point of the white money
enthusiasts nothing was left to be
desired by the opening of the great
silver convention here yesterday.
Organization was effected yester-day
and the convention got down
to work to-day. The convention
met yesterday with the following
states represented : Alabama, Ar-kansas,
Colorado, Florida.Georgia,
Indians, Kentucky, Louisana, Mis-sissippi,
Nebraska, Montana, Ne-vada,
North Carolina, Ohio, Penn-sylvania,
South Carolina, Tennes-see
Virginia and New Mexico.
Two thousand delegates braved
the torrid Bkies to bo present and
every State, with few exceptions,
sent its most prominent and repre-sentative
men with instructions to
shout for silver, vote for silver and
tolerate no discussions of anything
else but silver. The delegations
varied greatly in size, the largest
coming from Mississippi and Ten-nessee
and the smallest from some
of the far Western or so-called sil-ver
States. The small representa-tion
from the silver States was ex-plained
to the convention by Gov-ernor
L. Bradford I'rince, of New
Mexico, on the ground that all
these States bad recently attend-ed
the convention at Salt Lake City.
Nevertheless, said Governor Prince,
not one of these States was unrep-resented.
Tho convention was called to or-der
at 2 o'clock. W. N. Brown, of
Memphis, as chairman of the cen-tral
bimetallic league of Shelby
county, Tenn., which sent out the
call for the convention, rapped the
house to order. On the platform
were the following: Thomas Scott
Adams, Secretary of State of Louis-iana;
M. J. Cunningham, Attorney
General of Louisiana; John Fits-patrick,
mayor of New Orleans; A.
J. Warner, president of the Ameri-can
l!i-Metallic League; Governor
J. P. Clarke, Arkansas; W. J. Bry-an,
edtior of the Omaha World-
Herald ; Senator James H. Berry,
Arkansas; Senator Stewart, Neva-da;
Anson Walcott, Indiana; Sen-itor
I. G. Harris, Tennessee ; Alex
Delmar, California: Representative
H. I). Money, Mississippi; Senator
J. K. Jones, Arkansas; Senator
Marion Butler, North Carolina:
Senator J. '/.. George, Mississippi;
Senator David Turple, Indiana;
ex-Governor Eagle, Arkansas; Gov-ernor
L. Bradford Prince, New
Mexico; ex-Governor Benjamin
Tillman, South Carolina ; Governor
John Cray Evans, South Carolina.
From start to finish the convention
was or • of the greatest enthusiasm.
Every jironounced free silver ut-terance
■vas the signal for prolonged
applause, and when the various
persons well known in public life,
appeared on the rostrum, each
received an ovation.
When Chairman Brown had call-ed
the convention to order, L. D.
Estes offered prayer in which he
implored divine guidanco for the
delegates and hoped they
might be led into adopting "honest
money" as their platform. This
created a bit of sensation until it
was learned that he meant free'sil-ver.
Col. Casey Young, of Memphis,
then delivered the address of wel-come.
Senator Turpio was then intro-duced
as permanent chairman and
addressed the convention.
A resolution was adopted that
each State name a vice president
and a member of the committee on
resolutions. For North Carolina
T. F. Heath was named as vice
president and Marion Butler as a
member of the committee on reso-lutions.
The following is the substance of
the preamble and platform adopt
ed by tho convention to-day.
"The effect of gold monometalism
is to establish one standard for the
creditor and another for the debt-or;
and there can be no more dis-honest
monetary system than that
which gives short measure to the
borrower and long measure to the
lender. Under the policy prevail-ing
prior to 1S7.1 there can be no
violent change in the relative value
of the two metals, for a rise in val-ue
of one metal is counteracted by
a decreased demand and a fall in
value by an increased demand.
Under the operation of this bene-ficient
law a stable relation was
maintained between them in spite
of the extreme changes relative to
productions. From the first period
of our history up to 1873, the right
of the debtor to choose whether he
should pay his debts in silver or
gold coin was always recognized.
The subsequent policy has been to
transfer this right to the creditor,
thus tending to constantly increase
the value of the dearer metal and
destroy the parity between them.
"Believing that it iB absolutely
necessary to reverse this iniquitous
and ruinous policy, we therefore
resolve,
"That we favor the immediate
restoration of silver to its former
place as a full legal tender, stand-ard
money equal with gold, and the
free and unlimited coinage of both
silver and gold at the ratio of 16
to 1 and upon terms of exact equal-ity-
"That while we should welcome
the co-operation of other nations
we believe that the United States
should not wait upon the pleasure
of foreign governments or the con-si
'of foreign creditors, but should
themselves proceed to reverse the

formerly editor of the Appeal, and
Governor Clarke, of Arkansas, be-sides
many others of political
prominence in their own parts of
the country. These men said that
they would secede from the conv=n
tion if it endorsed Sibley's radical
sentiment. Sibley said in a speech
last night that the time had come
to abolish the party in favor of the
principle and it was to his idea the
Democrats took exception. They
declared the Democratic party was
strong enough in itself to champion
the cause of silver and they did
not propose to turn over the con-vention
to the Populists and Re-publicans,
although these latter
were welcome to the ranks of free
silver. The fight spread to the
room where the committee on reso-lutions
was holding its delibera-tions,
but fortunately it got no fur-ther.
The platform as was origi-nally
intended (the call being
strictly non-partisan) contains no
mention of any party. The con-vention
adjourned to-night after
speeches by W. J. Bryan, A. J.
Warner and Senator Wolcott.
The committee on resolutions
also introduced the following reso-lution,
which, like the platform,
was unanimously adopted :
Resolved. That a committee,
composed of one member from each
State, be appointed by the dele-gates
thereof in this convention,
whose duty it shall be to corres-pond
with the representative advo-cates
of bimetallism and bi-metal-lic
societies, in the different sec-tions
of the union, and devsie
measures to advance the cause of
bi-metallism throughout the United
States. That this committee shall
have power to cause a national
conference of bi-mctallists when-ever,
in the opinion of the commit-tee,
the cause of bi-metallism can
be advanced thereby. Said com-mittee
shall have power to fill all
vacancies.

There is a merry war on in Dan-bury,
Conn., where the young
women members of St. Peter's Tem-paranee
Society have formally an-nounced
that they have agreed to
not marry drunkards or men likely
to become drunkards, or any young
men who partake of spirituous or
malt liquor, wine and cider.
Father Lynch.rector of St. Peter's
Church, is urging this crusade on.
The business men of the town are
almost a unit iu opposing Father
Lynch'* movement, because it will
not stop until it makes Danbury a
prohibition town. At the last elec-tion
license was carried by a ma-jority
of little more than a hundred.
Father Lynch says it is impossible
for a Danbury youth to strike the
golden mean. Ho must be either a
total abstainer or become a drunk-ard.
Miss Maggie Drum, president of
the society, believes that before
long, if the movement spreads, all
the women of the country will strike
against marrying drunkarks. "It
will be a grand lockout." -h■» said.
"The women will not have drunk-ards
as fathers of their children."

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
Man Just Released From Prison
Marries the Woman to Gain
Whom He Killed a Rival.
VALPARAISO, Ind., June 15.—Early
in May, William J. Brown, aged 70
years, was released from the Indi-ana
Penitentiary, having served a
terra of 20 years at hard labor for
the murder of a rival suitor of tl e
woman to whom he afterwards be-came
engaged.
Today the white-haired i-x -con-vict
was married near New Buffalo,
Mich., to Miss Millie K. Jameson,
who was his alllanced before jeal-ously
furnished the motive for his
crime. During the long lapse of
time which intervened between
Brown's sentence and release she
remained true to him. her one pur-pose,
apparently, being to accumu-late
a fortune sufficient to support
herself and Brown during life, the
latter being incapacitated from
work by reason of age.

It becomes apparent that the
probability of American free coin-age
is causing other nations to
think of preparations to meet the
contingencv.
Free coinage means more than it
would have meant under the Mc-
Kinley tariff. With free coinage
and free trade the United States
would enter the ports of Asia and
Spanish America as an irresistible
contestant in the supply of manu- .;
factured goods. They would have |
the superiority of lower cost of
producing staple cotton and iron
goods, added to the advantage of
more convenient eurreny exchange.!
England, France anil Germany j
would be forced to meet such con-ditions
and they know it. The I
very week in which an unmistak-able
declaration of intent to open
their mints is issued by the United
States Europe will be busy in giv-ing
an international conference
something decisive to do.
It behooves the United States to
act as soon as possible and to adopt
the course which will impress the
rest of the world with respect for
their plane.
Right there is where the political
movement to commit the United
States to a particular ratio in ad-vance
of any investigation of that
commercial fact shows its mistakes.
One of the mistakes is that it di-minishes
the prospects of free coin-age
by losing the whole number of
bimetallists who are not certain
that the ratio of the law of 1837 is
the accurate ratio of IS'.lo. Another
mistake is that we cannot make
other nations believe in the serious- j
ness of a great commercial people's I
purpose of resuming free coinage
of silver without sober examination
of the conditions which have arisen
since 18(>2, our last date of silver as
a money of final redemption.
On the principle of free coinage
all bimetallists are already united
and willing to be aggressive. Very
nearly all of them are ready to
pledge themselves to support any
ratio fixed after careful examina-tion
of the conditions—whether
tho ratio so reached is the 15 to 1
of India, tho 15 J to 1 of the Latin
Union, the 16 to 1 of the United
States or a new one suggested by
ascertained facts.
It has been said that the demand
for a ratio is pressed only as a
rallying point and to preclude false
pretenses. If so, the event may be
all that it should be, though wo
confess inability to see how any-thing
else but 16 to I could be ex-plained
to a people taught to regard
that as the sacred essence of the
controversy.
Free coinage would come with
less opposition and therefore the
moro quickly if all friends of silver
would join in the pledge to fix a
date for opening the mints and to
devote a few months to conscien-tious
investigation of the ratio.
And we would be pretty sure to
have the help of even England in
securing a placo for silver in the
final currency of the world.
As far a? the Democratic party's
success ia winning elections is con-cerned,
such a policy of combine.I
firmness and prudence would bo a
sure conquest. It would win, and
win with a Western man and West-ern
ideas.—St. Louis Republic.
