Lockhart, a farmer living near Pikeville, on a warrant from Gibson county, charging him with assisting prisoners to escape from the Gibson county jail. The following account of the affair is from the Princeton Democrat: ' Dale O. Loekhart was arrested at Pikeville yesterday on the charge of furnishing the tools, by means of which the recent jail delivery was affected. The arrest was made by Sheriff Ridgway of Pike county. Deputy Sheriff Tingle of this city, left for. Pikeville yesterday at noon and returned with his prisoner this morning, landipg him in jail about 2:30 o'clock. Lockhart, it is alleged, furnished the monkey wrench which was used in breaking the hole in the wall. Dale Lockhart is the father of Levi L*>ckhart. who was in jail at the time, and who had been sentenced to the penitentiary for three years for stealing money from his employer. Levi was only awaiting transportation, the tools had been furnished the Monday before thedelivery but the prisoners were too long in their work and Levi was taken away the night before. The father instead of assisting his sou ouly helped to give a few criminals liberty. Now Mr. Lockhart will have to pay the penalty for what he undoubtedly considered his duty toward his boy. It has been known who furnished the wrench ever since the delivery but the officers wished to be positive before they made any arrests. Mr. Lockhart is 54 years of age, he takes his arrest very easily and only seems to feel that be has done his dnty.

Dnbots Say* That Sifter WHl Win. Former Senator Fred Dubois of Idaho, reached Washington City Monday and will remain a couple of weeks. Dubois come? in reply to a letter sent him by the silver republicans, urging him to attend a conference at which the friends of silver of all parties and all factions will be able to get together ou common grounds for congressional and presidential campaigns, “No man who knows anything of the people of the western part of the country will deny,•,, said Dubois today, “that they are more solidly in favor of free silver than ever. I just come from that section, I know whereof 1 speak when I say on no other platform than that which declares for the free coinage of silver can a single western state be carried. People out there believe Bryan is the logical candidate of tended to strengthen them in that policy. The advocates of free silver will get together for the coming campaign. There will be no bickering and strife. We shall work zealously as a united organization for the success of the free coinage of silver and for any man who is a candidate tar office on the ticket indorsing that platform.” “Thousands of people who voted the republican ticket in 1896 did so under a mistaken idea that the party would reaily do something for silver. They have since learned how they were deceived and duped into supporting the candidate who is now endeavoring to fasten even more securely upon the country the single gold standard. Not one of those many thousand votes will be cast for the republican ticket. The tide is turning to the silver forces these deceptions will sweep the country when the issue is agaiu forced. There will be no compromise between the eastern gold democrats and the regular party organization. No compromise is possible. It is as remote as the return of myself to the republican party, and 1 know how unlikely that is.”

Saved His Life. S. F. Fritz of 677 Sedgwick street, Chicago, says: “I had & severe eough which settled ou my lungs. I tried a number of advertised remedies and also placed myself under treatment of several physicians with no benefit. I was recommended to try Foley's Honey and Tar. With little expectation of getting relief, I purchased a bottle. I had taken but a few doses when I felt greatly improved; I was enabled to sleep, spitting of blood ceased, and by the time I had taken the second bottle I was entirely well. It saved uiy life.

A health expert claims drinking freely of pure water is a most efficacious means not only of preserving health, but often of restoring it when failing. The majority of people find it hard to realize that the body should be kept clean inside as well as outside. Cleanliness of the tissues within the body is as necessary to health aud comfort as cleanliness of the skin, and water tends to insure one as well as it does the other. It dissolves the waste material which would otherwise collect in the body, and removes j it m the various excretions. These waste ) materials are often actual poisons, and their retention U the cause of many a headache, many rheumatic pains, many sleepless nights and many attacks of “the bines." There has not been enough water in the body to wash them away, and consequently the system has become clogged and de- i moralize*!. If these few facts about the; importance of water to the human body were widely known and generally put into ‘ practice, they would do more to promote the health of the human race than all the drugs in the pharmacopoeia of the physician and the pharmacist. The habit of young boys jumping off and ( on trains should be stopped by the town authorities. There is a town ordinance against such practices and it shook! be enforced by the marshal. The accident that befell voting Jerrauld at Littles Wednesday should* be a warning to other young mm about jumping on moving trains,

VAGARIES IN FINANCE Mistaken Notions Regarding Greenbacks. DIFFER BUT LITTLE FROM POKES. Wo More Roanon For Having » Gold Ke•erve Behind One Than the Other—Both Are Baaed on the Property of the Coun - try-—Wot In the Nature of Fiat. v The Chicago Tribune is now preaching the doctrine that the' greenback is not fiat money. It explains that fiat money is not a promise to pay money, but is made money by law, while the greenback is a distinct promise to pay money on demand. Then the Louisville Post takes a “shy*’ at the subject and evolves this proposition: “The greenback is a government promise to pay money on demand; it is a government obligation; a debt, not property, bat a certificate of the absence of property; a minus quantity. ” Then the Washington Poet “hops in” and tries to be as aosnrd as its namesake of Louisville. It says, “As everybody knows, the greenbacks are as good as gold for the reason that they are conveniently convertible into gold.’* The truth is that the greenbacks we not in any sense in the nature of /fiat money and never were. They are promises to pay, issued by a government so stable that they pass freely. They are based on the property of the country, and they are not convertible into gold. The government has not the gold to take them up with, and the holders do not want gold for them, excepting the speculators who have been encouraged to demand gold by a heretical public policy. The greenbacks are the notes of a government which has not issued in excess of its taxing power on t ie property of the people. They were as .';ood before the speculators were invited to carry them to the counter of the United States subtreasury in New York an get gold for them as they are now. They could not depreciate if the gold reserve in the treasury should be dispensed avith. What about the United St$ tes bonds: There is one conclusive ai;: ament on this subject which has been lij mv times presented, but is always ignpied by the writers and politicians who argue for exclusive gold redemption. Is rhere gold behind the bonds? Is there money ol any sort in support of them? Ilf the government had the money, it would of coarse not issue the bonds, just as a man having plenty of cash to meet his necessities would not borrow and pay ^interest.

Why isn’t somebody demao ing that there shall be a gold reserve af ainst the bonds? The greenbacks and ‘ l>onds are both sustained by the property wealth of the country, the only substantial difference between them being that the one bears no interest and the other does. It is like a game of battledoor to issue bonds to get gold to put behiud the greenbacks. These notes are no more like fiat money, at any stage of the gamel or under any set of circumstances that nave ever been found, than the bonds are. “It seems to us that any kind of paper, ” says the Washington Post, “call it by what name you please, which can be issued to any amount by act of congress and to which congress imparts the legal tender quality, is fiat money.” The trouble is that writers get fiat money and credit mbney mixed. There is no such thing under strict interpretation of terms as fiat money. If a government, like an individual, issues promises to pay in excess of its resources, they are liable to depreciate. The creditor must lock out for that. In this case he knows he is safe. When, during the war, the greenbacks were worth less than 100 cents to the dollar by the specie standard, there was no fiat in them. The government was promising to pay so much, but there was a little doubt about it ever being able to redeem its promise. To that extent there was a temporary depreciation. That was all.—Cincinnati Enquirer. BIG MEN NOT WANTED.

Mottling one snuui teiiocn u toe noKinley Outfit. It is evident that the Pacific coast protesters against the promotion of Attorney fefenaal McKenna to the supreme court made a fatal mistake. They based their protest on the ground that McKenna was a man of too small mental caliber for the place. The ground of the protest should have been reversed. The president is a small bore politician and is dominated by small bore politicians. Nothing but a small bore lawyer would fit the job McKenna is expected to fill cm the supreme bench. If the Pacific coast people had protested that McKenna’s mental and moral caliber was too big to fill the place of a plutocratic judge, the nomination might not have been made. Big men are not wanted in the McKinley outfit.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Prosperity la Hew Kaglaad. In the first new year since Mr. McKinley’s election a wave of Republican “prosperity” has struck New England —struck it such a blow that the industries of that section will do well if they ever recover from the terrible results. The blow has not fallen cm the cotton mill operatives alone, but an nearly every productive industry in that section. The garrulous divine who passes as the president’s pastor thinks the Sunday newspaper the roBt&of all eviL Well, that’s much mere reasonable than his recent bigoted assault on other Christian denomination* The Sunday newspaper can take care of itself.

I ■ — - —+.- TH£ FIGHT IN OHIO gkm Moral Victory of Hanas’t Election Beats Witk the Demoent*. The election ot Mr. Hanna^to the United States senate by the Republican of Ohio is not an event over which the s Democratic party can afford to mourn. His defeat would not have been so substantial a Democratic victory as bis election by the methods by which it was brought about In tiie first place, it would have been impossible for the Democrats to defeat him, and the moral victory resulting from his defeat would have gone entirely to the credit of the Republican contingent which was arrayed against him. That much is certain. It is impossible to give Mr. Hanna’s Republican opponents any credit for special political virtue. They are of a piece with Hanna himself—no better and certainly no worse. They did not oppose Hanna because he is a Republican or because he is a boss or because he resorts to corrupt and corrupting methods to carry oat his ends. He was opposed by the Foraker crowd for none of these things. They objected to his election because he had thrust himself somewhat rudely between their own plans and the consummation thereof. The opposition of Foraker, Kurtz and the rest was based on the fact that Hanna, a mere business man, had intruded somewhat violently on their schemes for managing the Republican party of Ohio. The little bosses always resent the interference of the big bosses, and Mr. Hanna’s interference had no element of pc^teness in it. He stepped in, brushed Foraker out of the way, and then the opposition began. The position of the Democrats is impregnable. They opposed Hanna no less on account of his political principles than on account of his corrupt practices as a politician. He has been elected in spite of their opposition, bat the moral victory is with them. Moreover, the man and his methods will be in the senate in full view of the public—an object lesson to the people—a man elected by the foulest and most corrupt practices ever known to the people. Certainly the Democratic party has everything to gain by this spectacle.— Atlanta Constitution. HANNA’S PARTNER.

McKinley Helped the Senator to the Full Extent of Hi* Power. Allen O. Myers ha* presented the truth to the president of ihe United States in a nutshell ‘‘You prayed,” declares Mr. Myers in a telegram to the occupant of the White House, “while Dicjk' and Hanna bought a seat in the United States senate—a fact that will be thoroughly proved. People who have pitied you as a dupe will now denounce you as a full but not a silent partner of this iirm of conspirators against the great mass of the people.’ This is strong language—stronger than was ever before addressed to the chief, magistrate of this country by a sane citizen. But the words of Mr.’ Myers contain a'truth that can no longer be denied by McKinley's apologists. When he permitted federal employees to ajttach themselves to Hannapersonal staff and do his spy work whine drawing pay from the government, the presiI dent not only became a “full but not a l sileht partner,” but also made the government of the United States a partner of Hanna, whom Mr. Myers very aptly i characterizes as a conspirator. | It is an actual fact, too, that the president “uKulttd every honest man in the United States and outraged decency” in his^&uigratulatory telegram to Hanna. ‘*Whe result is ono in which our best citizenship, irrespective of party, will profoundly rejoice, ” declared McKinley to Hanna. “I congratulate yon,” the president went on to say, only upon a victory beneficial to the country, but upon your leadership in a contest worthily won, under the most trying circumstances.*’ ’ These tbing$ were said by the president while oin full possession of the knowledge that a member of the legislature had sworn to an affidavit charging Hanna with an attempt to bribe him, and also that the Hannaites in the house at Columbus had voted down a resolution calling for a fair and impartial investigation of the accusation.— St. Louis Republic.

One of the Result* of Protection. Already almost every one of the great essentials under modern conditions of life has been “trusted.” The laws of trade have for the most part been abrogated by vast accumulations of capital. Many things are practically “trusted" where the designation has been avoided! There has been scarcely a week since McKinley was inaugurated which has not seen the birth of one of these gigantic monopolies. The people must act through their legislatures. They must act promptly for their own preservation and for the preservation of peace. For sane, reasoning men, who have no desire to subvert order or unsettle the rights of property, will not sit quiet while two hundred odd combinations trifle with the destinies of the country, eyea to the matter of very life and death. To Whom It Mar Coneerm. There are several hundred thousand voters here in the United States of America that have a great deal more-re-spect for a redhot populist who hah the courage of his convictions than for a lukewarm politician who has neither courage nor convictions. Voters of that sort are to be found in every congressional district All those who during the was lost sleeper lost their appetites or lost track of any of their friends should at once write to a passion attorney. They don’t know what they we missing. . ■Otatofi taf Ml Again we remark that as ah eye opener Mr. McKinley is more of a suet cess than as a miU opener.

’ ■ 1 ' ’ 1 ' ;— - , So VIfiler Ylorks^for Oakland CM*. k is a matter of universal regret among Oakland City citizens that young Mr. Shoemaker is unahle to carry out his contract with the city for water works. The proposition he made to furnish the city with thirty fire hydrants for an annual rental of $810 always seemed too good a thing for the city to last, He now asks that the city rent forty hydrants at $1,000 a year, which proposition will hardly meet with the favor of our citizens. While the Journal iis a firm believer in water works as the .commercial salvation of our city it does not .believe it is expedient or desirable to obligate ourselves at this time and under present conditions to pay over $1,000 a year for water works. The Journal hopes Mr. Shoemaker or some other company-will find a way to give us not less than twenty-five hydrants for an annual irental of $1,000.— Oakland City Journal. • s ' Sheriff's S$le, By virtue of a certified copy of a decree to mm directed from the Clerk of the Pike Circuit Court, in a cause wile rein Jacob Schurz is plain tilt, and Elizabeth Abell aud Elihue Abell are defendants, requiring me to make the sum of one hundred and six dollars and forty cents, with interest on said decree and costs.
