HISTORY OF A WEEK.

THE NEWS OF SEVEN DAYS UP TO DATE. PtlitiMl, Bctlrlons, Social bad Criminal Doing* of the Whole World Carefully ■ Ooadoneod for dor Reader*-—The Accident Record. . i . it Is given out cnat fn a tew days there will be a call issued for a meeting of the Window, Flint and Glass Workers’ Unions to take steps to at once form an amalgamation under one national head, each branch to preserve its distinct existence, but be under the control of the national committee made up of representatives of each branch. A Denver evening paper published the statement that a meeting of leading republicans was held, which decided to demand the resignation of Senator Wokott on account of his support of the republican national ticket. An order has been issued at the Valentine Iron Company’s works at Bellefonte, Pa., that, commencing with Aug. I, a 10 per cent reduction of wages would be made. Over 500 men are affected by the reduction. While out boat riding Sunday afternoon, shortly after 4 o’clock, Henry Hendrickson, Anna Amsrud and Lizzie Oldstad, three La Crosse young people, were drowned in the Mississippi river just below La Crosse, Wis. Mathew Addy, aged 61 years, president of the Addiston Pipe and Steel company, founder of the suburban town of Addiston, Ohio, died at his mansion at Falmouth, Maas. He was connected with various interests in this city. He was several times a millionaire, and had done much for the city and the Presbyterian church. Frank Davis killed Robert Pickett at Cripple Creek, cutting his head ly off with a razor, and also «Ut May Riven* so badly that she will die. He then cut his own throat, but it' is not thought the wound is fatal. Pickett was a dance hall proprietor, and Davis the porter of the place. The woman was an inmate of the place, and jealousy caused the tragedy. . Alice Pre3sly, who married George Knopps, sash and door manufacturer of Muscatine. lowa, last Wednesday, and disappeared with $3,000, has come to light. She says she agreed to marry him for the money, but told him she would not live with him. One of the first things done by the management of the Illinois Central railroad on assuming control of the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern was to restore the cut of 10 per cent made about three years ago by the receivers of that road in the wages of its employes. Eric Eckman shot and instantly killed Daniel Clough at Randall, Minn. The crime is said to be the result of a dispute about a contract which the former had for clearing land. Eckman claims he does not know anything about the crime, as he had been drinking alcohol. What is believed to be the celebrated Swift silver mine has been discovered on Roundstone Creek, thirty-five miles south of Richmond, Ky.. in Rock Castle county. The ore is combined with lead, and smelts at $65 a ton. Gov. William J. Stone of Mi:souri and J. G. Johnson of Peabody, Kan., will be members of the executive committee of the national populist committee. This was decided upon when Senator Jones, chairman of the national committee called upon Candidate Bryan at Lincoln some days ago. The Turkish legation at Washington has received the following telegram from the Sublima Pi/rte. “Some malevolent people having propagated the false news that the Turkish govarnment had the intention of introducing the paper currency please contradict same.” Bourke Cockran returned Saturday from Europe by the steamer Paris. During the in voyage he evolved a plan by which he thinks the defeat, of Bryan may be assured. He will support the republican national ticket. David H. Ramey, a colored Pullman porter, shot and instantly killed Mattie Clark, also colored, at Denver, Colo., and then sent a bullet through his own brain. The cause of the deed is not known. A party of lowa capitalists has bought the plant of the Kansas City Steel and Iron works at Argentine, Mo. The works will be enlarged and steel will be manufactured under a new process. It was learned at the Philadelphia offices of the International Navigation Company that Li Hung Chang had engaged apartments for himself and suite on the St. Louis, which sails from Southampton Aug. 22. Nominee Bryan will pass through Des Moines Aug. 8, and the train will stop twenty minutes, during which time he will de *ver an address. Owing to the fall in the price of coffee exports from Brazil to the United States and Europe have been suspended. The United States has again been compelled to call on the government of Colombia to apologize for the 3choonWhitford incident The Chicago and Peoria fast mail train on the Alton jumped the track about a mile south of Cazenovia. The engine and both rear coaches left the track, the coaches rolling down the embankment. No one was seriously hurt. . One hundred members of the Manufacturers’ club of Philadelphia paid a visit by appointment tp Mr. Gladstone at Hawarden, England, Thursday. By the discharge of a Spring gun in the woods near South Range. Wis., Fred Winn was kill led. The gun was ill DOT u66f« ■ it .** «., f * < tt V

Free silver or bust. This is a Populist year. Organized labor demands consideration. , Now, let us have less talk and more, work. Grover 13 now free to fish and fish and fish. Lots of Republicans coming over to the people. True patriotism lives In the present, not in the past. Don’t be deceived, nor scared by gold-bug threats. The American people mean to have a scientific money system. The two old parties are only “organized appetites” for office. The growth of the silver movement is the advance of intelligence. Restore the government to the people by giving them a direct vote. A man cannot be a monopolist and a true silver man at the same time. Direct legislation will retain free coinage of silver after it is adopted.

There is no other single issue of as much importance as direct legislation. A gold standard is the baronial castk of modern feudalism and serfdom. Whitney might as well have taken his tour to Europe several weeks sooner. Absolute government Issue and control of money is the demand of the peOPl*. The man who lives on interest lives on the labor of somebody who Is in debt. Redemption free coinage is a fraud — merely a shield to hide the bank oligarchy. The democrats are going to do this time, oh yes. That is they sa they are.

The business of the West and South is Just, as important as the business of the East Continue the work of education, regardless of what may be the result of the election. Several splinters knocked off the g. o. p. already- and the storm getting worse all the time. It is not converts the gold-bugs expect to their theories —'but convicts under the lash of blacklist. “International agreement” means surrendering our own national constitutional power to coin out own money.

The silver men are no worse split than the gold men—and, besides, they have the advantage of a large majority for silver. Cleveland may drop out of sight, but he will be remembered for some time by the hole he leaves in the United States treasury. If you are satisfied with present conditions, of course you will vote for McKinley and the “maintenance of the existing gold standard.” The nomination of McKinley Is creating about as much enthusiasm in Kansas and Nebraska as the arrival of the grasshoppers used to arouse. The only bolts from now on will be belts of white (silver) lightning—with gold-bug thunder. It is the lightning that will count, and not the thunder. Let the people so cast their votes in November that Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln may send greeting from the other shore, “we are satisfied.” We are glad to notice that the Democrats have become so reconciled to the despised Populist platform as to steal the greater part of it. Hope they are in earnest. Thousands of men who haven’t made a living the past four years will vote to continue for four years more the same policy which brought about the present state at affairs. It is not the people who are making the noise now that wiil control the elections this year. It is the quiet citizens, who have made up their minds and are now busy with their farm crops.

If golc| is the only mo>n?y, then let wage-earners of all grades and degrees, refuse checks, national bank bills, etc., and demand the gleaming yellow coin on pay-day. Let workingmen demand “sound money” as well as the bankers. Take no other. It would smaslh the gold combine. Lincoln'said}, in speaking of the Wall street speculators: “For my pa*t, I wish every, one at them had ids dsvtl,lah head shot off.” tfct the Republic- ™ wWeb ceat fro* I4»o*te afegtfe WfAi afoset as its gatfias star. Truly it has dssssadsd from Lincoln—a long ways. 1
