MAN ABOUT TOWN.
There have been more cases of paralysis in the city in the past few months than in any one year heretofore. The physicians do not readily famish an explanation.
General Jerc Baxter, of Tennessee, son-in-law of Judge Mack, who has been a lifelong Democrat and prominent in the counsels of his party, says he "places his country abore everything and for that reason cannot support the ticket named at Chicago. If the platform should be carried out to its logical conclusion it would mean anarchy and repudiation. If this election should
close I believe we shall see trou
ble, probably riots. Revolutions begin in quiet ways like this and we are in it before we know it."
Some men cannot study, or "think out," a problem alone and in silence. They are the kind who, having a half-understauding of the currency proposition, stand on a curbstone and in the mental exhileration of a controversy, do some thinking aloud. Some of the evolutions of thought as manifested in the talk on such occasions furnish a pschycological entertainment, amusing maybe, but on the whole interesting. They are the men who, when a new thought first flashes on them, insist on interrupting all other speakers to get rid of it. The effort, to give expression to it shows all too plainly that it had just arrived and was not ready for public appearance.
At a recent conference of some of the local Democratic leaders one of them stated the case in this way: "What we want is sonic one to explain to our people the doctrine of free coinage. I don't mean talks by our local speakers. Hardly any of them understand it any better than the masses. We want some one who can make it plain to Democrats why they are for free coinage at 16 to 1. They are for it all right enough, but we want to make them understand why they are for it He is right. What is wanted now are the primary facts for both sitles. As the cam palgn progresses there will l»e more and more of the tirade style of argument, and it is the worst kind of argument. It doesn't, scare a man away from the free Silver side of the money question to keep saying the "craze" is dying out. He wants to know why it is dying out or why it should die out. You can't convince him by tolling him that it is a "craze," and intimating that he is craisy. One of the best things I have seen on this score was the reproduction in the Chicago Record of an extract from Benjamin Franklin's writings in the closing years of his life. He tells how he had dropped the positive style of assertion, "retaining only the habit of expressing myself in terms of modest diffidence, never using, when I advance any thing that may possibly be disputed, the words 'certainly,' 'undoubtedly' or any others that give the air of positiveness to an opinion, but rather say 'I eoueeive' or 'apprehend' a thing to be so and so 'It appears to me,'or, 'I should not think it so or so, for such and such reasons,' or, 'I Imagine it to be so,' or, 'it is so if 1 am not mistaken.' This habit, I believe, has been of great advantage to me when I have had occasion to Inculcate my opinions and persuade men into measures that I have been from time to time engaged in promoting. And, as the chief ends of conversation are to Inform or to lie informed, to please or to persuade, I wish well-meaning and sensible men would not lessen their power of doiug good by a positive, assuming manner that seldom fails to disgust, tends to create opposition and to defeat most of those pnrposes for which speech was given to us. In fact. If yon wish to instruct others, a positive, dogmatical manner in advancing your sentiments may occasion opposition and prevent a candid attention. In adopting such a manner you can seldom expect to please your hearers or obtain the concurrence ytttl desire."
It is Man About Town's opinion that if you make it plain to the people that the

coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 would make unfair dollars they would not insist upon coining them. It is idiotic to-say the advocates of free coinage, certainly outside of a few mine owners, really want to get hold of an unfair dollar to cheat some one with it. Nor is it true that advocates of free coinage who admit that the 16 to 1 dollar now is not worth what a 16 to 1 dollar was worth when the ratio was established expect to continue an unfair dollar in circulation. They believe that its free and unlimited coinage by this country will restore its r$tio value with gold. The educational purpose in this campaign should be to show that this is not to be expected that the coinage of abont 500 million of them under laws restricting the number to be coined each month since 1S78 has caused a steady depreciation in their value and that therefore the unlimited, coinage of them logically would further depreciate their value. But above all things keep on explaining that "1" is gold that all coinage of silver has been based on the gold standard or the gold value of the white metal. That is the primary fact and the most radical advocate of free coinage does not propose to change it.
The free coinage advocate who talks about "robbers" and "conspirators" in the east and Europe and his opponent who prates of "sound" money just as if the free coinage man could not honestly believe his dollar to be "sound" money, and who calls free silver people knaves and fools, ought to be tied together and. thrown over a clothes line far beyond the range of hearing. 'Man About Town' in The Terre Haute Mail, talks about Democratic business men of that city who will vote for McKinley, but don't want their names mentioned. He overlooks the silver Republicans, who will vote for Bryan, notwithstanding they are 16 to 1 in comparison with Democratic bolters."—Rockville Tribune.
Man About Town did not overlook the silver Republican. Recently it was said in this column that the poll which showed but two silver Republicans in the county was not correct that there were that many to each ward and precinct and some Republicans of the ostrich variety found fault with the statement.
The death of Frank Bruce at the Indiana prison south, at Jeffersonville, was an event not unexpected but yet of sensational interest here, from which city he was sentenced to prison. Bruce and his gang of burglars, who were caught napping through woman's curiosity in this city, had been doing work in many cities ami had enjoyed comparative immunity. After their arrest the detectives from half a dozen cities were ready to tell all that was bad that they knew of the gang which somehow had evaded capture or serious punishment elsewhere. 'Bruce was but forty six years of age at the time of his death, but hfiwas older in crime than his years wouk, indicate, and the police records of nearly every city west of the Allegheny mountains gave information of his acts, some of which were directly traceable to him an.l many of which were credited to unknown cracksmen. There was nothing in the man himself to fit the common idea of the bold burglar. On the contrary, he was an insignificant specimen of humanity. No doubt he and Henry and O'Brien, with the two women who were arrested here, never ceased cursing their carelessness, by reason of which they were captured. The police had absolutely no clew when the woman at whose house they were boarding overheard some of their talk (it was beer talk and utterly reckless, with a tinge of quarrelsomeness in it), and she told the police. John Henry's real name is Crowley or Crowder, or something like. His home is in the souther^ part of the state, not far from Jeffersonville, where he is now in prison. He and Eli IiOwry, who was turnkey at the jail at the time the gang received the saws and tools with which they would have effected their release had not a fellow prisoner given the alarm, were acquainted years ago.
Planet, the five years old stallion which has been doing phenomenal racing this season, was bred and raised by George Starr. He had not been raced before this year. So far he has won $4,000, and is entered for a great deal of money for the remainder of the season.
Those Democrats wha tried to belittle the action of B. F. Havens in bolting the Democratic party are not following up the plan by attempting to ridicule the many business men who are deserting the party. When Mr. Havens left the party he was practically alone but now he is in big company and St is too serious a matter for flippant comment. By the way, the speech made by Mr. Havens at Greencastle when he announced his purpose to vote the Republican ticket, has been exstensively used by the Republican campaign managers and has been printed in the newspapers in New York, Boston and other cities.

severely criticised by the citizens of the connty for his inactivity by reason of which he is partly responsible for the destruction by fire of the mine at Old Pittsburg, is the same official who failed to do his duty in 1891 when a handful of men were stopping coal trains at Shelburn. He was then a candidate for reelection and unquestionably was afraid of the effect on his campaign if he arrested any of the strikers. It will be recalled that he and the judge of the court came to this city to meet Governor Matthews who was here attending the opening of the Armory. The governor told the sheriff and the judge that he would give them no aid until they had made a determined and sincere effort to enforce the law which he was satisfied had not been done up to that time. He told the judge to swear in a posse of tie best citizens of the county and send them to Shelburn armed to enforce the law. This was Saturday night and as the governor left here at midnight he said he would not order out the militia until the local officers had made another attempt to enforce the law. In any event he would not do so before Monday, He arrived in Indianapolis at 5 a. m. Sunday, and inside of three hours had ordered out the militia. The militia generals wanted it done. They had' been trying to get an appropriation from the legislature and failed. Here was the opportunity to make sentiment for a larger outlay for the soldiery with its sashed and epauletted officers. Then came the sensational stuff sent to the newspapers about battles with armed miners. Two militiamen who were out of the lines wanted back. They fired a pistol near one of the pickets and when all the other pickets rushed to him the two men slipped into camp. That incident was made into a terrible night attack on Governor Matthews' troops. A few miners wanted to get the militia away from one point and they went a mile or so up the road and made a sham attack on a train. The firing of the militia guarding the train called the troops to that point and then the dozen miners went to the place that had been under guard. This was described in column accounts as a running fight with the strikers in which many rounds of ammunition were used on both sides. 9100 Reward, $lGO.
The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there Is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.
