HALF AND HALF TICKET

m.vvKsciTA nnMocRATs nivini: vv WITH POTLLIST PARTY. Kanai Conrrntlon Appoint t& Conference Committee to Do the Same Alabama Returns. MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. Aug. 4-The State Democratic convention was held here to-day. The GOO delegates present were harmonious so far as the fusion plan with the Populists was concerned, but In the deliverance of their charge things ran less smoothly. This was when the report of the committee on credentials was presented for adoption. It was understood that there were no contests, but a supplementary report was presented challenging the right of the three distinguished members of the Ramsey county delegation to occupy feats on the Iloor. These were Daniel V. lawler, national committeeman for Minnesota, Judge McCafferty and Frank W. M. Cutcheon. of St. Paul. All are pronoTinced pold men. who have repudiated the Chicago platform. The silver men were determined to oust them, and they did. A scene of wild disorder ensued, and a smallsized riot waged for an hour. Mr. Cutcheon had been Invited to express ds views, but when he began to speak the crowd would not listen to him. All attempts to preserve order proved futile, and Cutcheon left the platform with the remark. "All right, gentlemen; we will meet you at PhllllpplJ" The three men filed out of the hall amid the derisive shouts of hundreds of angry men. The fusion plan was adopted. The Democrats namd John I.lnd for Governor, Julius J. Helnrichs for Secretary of State, and Alex. MeKinnon for State Treasurer, leaving the lieutenant governorship and the attorney-generalship to be filled In by the Populists. The Democrats aUo named four presidential electors. The Populists will name the remaining electors. A feature of the convention was a speech by Ignatius Donnelly, pledging harmony and a magnificent victory for all sllverltes in November. XOT CKIITAIX IX KASA?. State Convention lropoe Fonlon with the PopalUt. HUTCHINSON, Kan.. Aug. 4. The Democratic State convention, which promises to be one of the most important held by that party in Kansas for several years, met to-day. The foHowing from W. J. Uryan was read: "Frank Paeon, Chairman Central Committee: -My Dear Slr-Your favor o' July 21 inclosing letter of Messrs Iiarkley and Oswell. of Hutchinson, Kan., requesting me to speak at that. city on Aug. 4 has beeji received. I regret very much that the duties of the campaign which are pressing upon me render it impossible for me to do so. No arrangements for speeches can be made until after the campaign has been outlined by the national committee, and until that has been done I deem it wise to make no promises. Very truly vours, "W. J. BUY AN." The platform reported unequivocally indorses the Chicago platform. The committee on rules reported tha the convention Fhould select its presidential electors though not formally nominating them, and that a special committee of five should be named to wait on the Populists at Abilene and effect a fusion of the two parties In Kansas. In a word the report recommended that the Democrat agree to surrender everything but the electors to the Populists, and to Indorse unequivocally the State ticket nominated by the Populists, Including a Congressman at large, in return for an Indorsement by the Populists of th Bryan and Swall electors. The convention practically adopted the plan by acclamation. There were a few delegates who wanted a Democratic representative on the State ticket. bHt thee were lost sight of. Iwlng a very small minority. The convention proceeded to carry out these recommendations. Judge Johnson. Democratic national committeeman for Kansas, was selected to head the delegation of embassadors to the Populists at Abilene. The other ncmlers of this committee 'were: W. P. Dillard. ex-Senator john Martin. J. II. Atwood and V. S. Glass. The committee left, to-night, for Abilene. In .an interview. Chairman Johnson stated that he had no doubt but satisfactory arrangements for fusion could be arrived at. Some of the Democratic leaders are not a little disturbed, however, by reports from Abilene that the Populists are inclined to insist upon an agreement that the presidential electors shall be pledged to vote for Watson if the Populists shall poll the most votes, or for Sewall. if the Democrats shall lead. This, the Democrats declare, they will not. agree to. and it is asserted to-night that if the Populists hold out a full Democratic ticket will be put In the field. FORTY-FIVE COUNTIES. Sweeping Democratic Vletory In Alabama Over the Populists. BIRMINGHAM, A'a.. Aug. 4.-Further returns received up to to-night from yesterday's election In this State c0flrm the first reports of a complete Democratic victory, with surprisingly large gains. The count In the big counties has been slow, especially in the cities, but official and estimated returns, the latter based on reports received from a. majority of the boxes in the counties reporting, show that Johnston and the Democrats have certainly carried forty-five out of sixty-six counties. Goodwyn (Populist) has fifteen counties. Six others have not been heard from, or are too close to be figured upon. Of the last named Johnston probnbly has four and Ooodwyn two. Johnston's majorities officially and estimated by counties arc as follows: Autauga. Baldwin, 300; Barbour, 1.852; Blount. 427: Bullock. 2.721: Butler. 2X; Callioun. Chambers.

Coosa, Colbert. Conecuh. Pike and Tallapoosa. Of those Goodwyn will probarly get Coosa and Tallapoosa by vry small majorities, while the others will llkelv go for Johnston. It Is believed the complete returns will show a majority of not less than 4".0' fur Johnston, and possibly FACeO. As compared with the election in JSMt. the Dvmocra'ts have carried certain fifteen counties that gave Populist majo-i-tis two veara ago. The Democratic majority In them ranges from let) to 1.000 each, and in many places Populist majorities are n- ei ted. . As to the Legislature, the Democrats have gained, it is llgured. fourteen members or the House, glvin? them seventyright out of one hundred. Thy have elected eleven out of seventeen Senators, which, with thirteen hold-overs, drives them twenty-four out of thirty-three members of thit body, or about three-fourths of the entire IuU'.ature.

MOXKY ASI) CAPITAL. Relation to Eneh Other, and W hy the Went I "Short" on the Latter. United States Investor. The business of the world Is not conducted on a cash basis. It would not be possible to so conduct it. The amount or money In use can jecr amount to more than a small percentage of the business actually done. The efficiency of money U due principally to the fttct that it "gets around" very fast. It flows automatically into those localities where it is needed for trade purposes, and one dollar in gold or paper or greenbacks takes part(-'in- Innumerable business transactions iij the course of a year. It Is not the currency that makes the business of a certain locality brisk and the people of that locality prosperous. To say that it Is would be to mistake effect for cause. The faet is. money circulates freely and is very much in evidence as a result of aetjvlty in business. It becomes necessary, therefore, to ask what it is that the West lacks. Tho answer is very simple. It lacks capital. Capital must not be confounded with currency. Capital is simply another name for accumulated wealth that can be used In creating new wealth. A very small part of the wealth fit the world is In money. The richest people have but an insigniflcanfVmpunt of cash about them. Their wealth i In lands, and buildings, and railroads, , and ships, and factories and a million other things. When they want to spend any money, they draw a check, if the amount is large there is always enough money not otherwise employed to make small payments, provided one can show ' anything In return for It. Now, the reason why the West is lacking money is that it is lacking capital. It has nothing- to show for the money, that Is. nothing which the people who have a superabundance of money care to take. The fact should be remembered that money always ties up to capital. If the amount of money In the country were Increased manifold, the capitalists would have the excess in their hands, and rightly so. because they would be the only ones' to have something to show for It. This Is in accordance with natural law ahd no amount of legislation will make it otherwise. In the past the West has had the use of an abundance of capital not its own capital, but that which It has borrowed from the East and from Europe. This borrowed capital has in the last few years, to a very great extent, been withdrawn, and that is. why the West is feeling poor. When capital once more seeks the West money will go with it. The latter is only the servant (the valet. If you will) of the former. Now as regards, its lack of cap'-tal.-the West has only itself to blame. It has deliberately resorted to measures calculated to drive capital from its borders. It has ruined it credit for the time being and possibly for many years to come. Western municipalities have openls' repudiated their debts. Western farmers have failed to meet their mortgages. an4 have passed laws throwing every difficulty In the way of their creditors getting jossesslon of the security. Western Legislatures have reduced the rates charged by the railroads and have put a stop to. all new railroad enterprises. The cry against alien ownership of real estate has gone up all over the West, although if that section were to-day owned bv aliens it would be possible, perhaps, to collect enough taxes to enable Western communities to pay their honest debts, and keep themselves running with some sort of credit to themselves. These are the reasons why the West k suffering from lack of capital to-day. Capital is the essential thing; the money supply may be left to look after itself. WIIICII IS THE MORE IMPORTANT? IteitMona AVhy the Flection of McKlnlcy la the Flrat Consideration. Washington Post. Many of the newspapers and politicians that are opposed to Rryan and free coinage appear to think that the election of a sound-money House of Representatives ir. a matter of even greater Importance than the election of Mr. McKlnley. The Post is not disposed to underestimate the importance of securing a House that will, like the present House, be in opposition to the Senate on the silver Issue. We do not look for any change in the attitude of the Senate on this question during th? life of the next Congress. Whatever may be the outcome of this campaign, it is morally certain that tho next Senate will have a freecoinage majority. The Popnlsts and silver Republicans in that body will all be Demo, crats for this campaign consolidates the friends of silver. The election of a sound, money House would prevent the passage of a free-coinage measure even If Mr Bryan were in the presidential office. But what would be the effect on the currency question of the election of Mr. Rryan. even if his administrat'on wtrc hampered by a sound-money House? It is true that the President, "with the advice and consent of the Senate," could rfot change any existing law. There could be r.o free-coinage legislation: but might we not have something worse? Might we not have our finances put on a silver basi at ottce? And would not the sliver basis, with no lar for coining additional silver be more hazardous than unlimited free coinage? The disappearance of the $8'K),eoo -000 in gold, or its withdrawal from circulation, is conrideotl-' predicted as soon as the parity vanishes. What would be the result of such enormous contraction of the currency, with no means of passing a law to relieve the strain? Would it not be far worse than free, unlimited and independent coinage, of silver? Should Mr. Rryan be elected, his administration would come in committed, in the most solemn manner, against the maintenance of the gold standard. He and his supporters believe that the policy of the present administration, and of ail previous administrations, in maintaining the gold standard, is. and always has been, an outrageous oppression of the people. The election of Mr. Rryan would be an Indorsement of that belief, and he would come in commanded to discontinue the redemntlon of "coin" obligations in gold. It is 'nonsense to talk of his being "kept in check by a sound-money Congress." He would have the Senate and claim to have the people on his side. He would understand that he was elected to deliver the poople from the oppression of "the money power." There is no reason to doubt that the lirst day of his administration, as soon as his Secretary of the Treasury was sworn in, discrimination against silver in meeting "coin" obligations would cease. And in making such a change there would be no violation of the letter of any law. It has beea optional with any administration since 1S7S to meet "coin" demands with cither of the two kinds of legal tender coin. To those who believe that a change from the gold to a sliver basis would be disastrous it seems unnecessary to suggest that their chief concern should be the election of n sound-money President. Those who hold the opposite pinion will understand that, by electing Mr. Eryan, they can ring in the change regardless of the House of Representatives Murderer Dart Xot Aboard. NEW YORK. Aug. 4. Detectives from the Central office boarded the Mallory line steamer Nueces, from Galveston, to-day, below quarantine, hoping to ttnd W. Kugene Rurt, of Austin. Tex., aboard, but were disappointed. Durt is wanted tn Austin for the murder of his wife and two children, whom he droyned in a -cistern. and the officials there had telegraphed that he was probably aboard the ship.

FIGHT WITH MILITIA

TWO HIOKU'S CLKVKLAM) STRIKERS FIRED OX AS THEY FLED. Talk of n Sympathetic Walk-Out Does Xot Indicate that It Will lie a Great Snccf, CLEVELAND. Aug. 4. Shooting by soldiers and rioters marked the opening of another day in the vicinity of the Brown hoisting works. At 1:30 o'clock this morning two men stopped in front of Mrs. Lind's boarding house, a few squares from the Rrown hoisting works, where a man named Gettner, who ia employed at the works, boards. The two men yelled for the "scab" to come out, and then they began to throw stones at the house. Presently one of the men fired at the door, the bullet passing through the panel and entering the house. The noise attracted the attention of the militia, and a detachment of Company I men was ordered to the scene on the double quick. As the soldiers turned a neighboring corner the two men started to run. The lieutenant in charge shouted "halt." The pursued men paid no attention to the order, and the soldiers began firing at them. They returned the tire, and for a few moments there was a lively fusillade. One of the men suddenly made a cry and was heard to groan. A moment later, however, both had disappeared in the darkness. The affair caused the utmost excitement in the neighborhood for a time. The bullets struck several houses. Two went through the side of a grocery store. The soldiers and others believe that the two men had planned to blow up Mrs. Lind's house. Abeut 159 nonunion men went to work at the Brown works this morning, under guard of a large force of militia and police. An enormous crowd of strikers and their sympathizers was present, but no trouble occurred. On every street within a radius of mearly a mile of the plant both so.diers and locked-out men patrolled the walks. Many of the soldiers were doubly armed, wearing belts and revolvers as well as carrying guns. A number of the strikers also carried guns. At a meeting of the executive committee of the locked-out Brown hoisting works men U was decided unanimously to ask the Central Labor Union at its meeting on Wednesday evening to declare a sympathetic strike. If this Is done it will call out 15.000 to 20.000 men. It is not likely that a sympathetic strike will be ordered. Fight of the leaders of the Central Labor Union, all representing different trades, were interviewed this afternoon, and all but two of them expressed themselves as much opposed to such a- strike, declaring that it would be unwise and could not benefit the Brown strikers. The question will probably be. decided at the meeting of the Central Labor Union to-morrow night. Xotlce to AVindowGlun 3Ien. PITTSBURG. Aug. 4.-The date for the joint meeting of the Northern, Eastern and Western wage com.nlttee of the Window Glass Workers' Association, which was to have been held at Sylvan Beach, Oneida lake. Tuesday, Aug. 11, to prepare the wage seal-? to be presented at the coming annual conference with the manufacturers' committee, has been changed. The meeting will be held next Tuesday Instead of the time at first agreed upon. This change in the date of the meeting was caused by a communication from the manufacturers which .was read at the window glass workers' headquarters to-day. In the communication the manufacturers ask that the meeting be held as soon as possible and the scale be presented as agreed upon. They say that the majority of them will be ready to liegin work by Sept. 5. hence the manufacturers express themselves as being desirous of having the annual conference between the wage committees to take place as soon as possible. This action of tne manufacturers indicates a settlement favorable to the workers. Burned n Contractor House. BFRFA. O.. Aug. 4 This place is in a turmoil of excitement to-day. At 3 o'clock this morning a cry of fire was raised. The residence of Richard Dodd, on Prospect stieet, was on fire, and it was burned to the ground, nothing being 'saved. A wire screen was torn from the window, oil poured on an unoccupied bed near it and lighted. Dodd's son heard the noise, smelled the .smoke and aroused his father barely in time to get out of the house. Two children were overcome wijh smoke. The family consists of seven children. The residence of James Woodcock, a neighbor, was alo saturated with oil, but was rtot lighted. Dodd Is a contractor at the quarries, also Wooiicock. and both employ nonunion men. They were asked to employ un'on men. but were unable to do so. they said, as they had no work for them. Thbre js talk of lynching if the culprits who are using dynamite and the torch are apprehended. Chlenco Ship Builder Strike. CHICAGO, Aug. 4. Fourteen hundred of the 2.500 employes of the South Chicago Ship-building Company struck this evening, which will necessitate, it is said, the closing of the yards. The strike originated with 300 boys employed to heat rivets whose wages were cut from $1.50 to $1.25 a day. The men riveters, 1.100 in number, followed their example. This strike is regarded as too precipitate an affair to meet with the sanction of even organized labor. BANKS WILL ESCAPE. (Concluded from Flrat Pnge. themselves, are the brokers who had been doing business for them on the exchange. Very few. indeed, are the brokers, too. who do not do business in that line. Those mot alfc?ted are Breese & Cummlngs. Baldwin & Farnum. E. L. Brewster & Co.. and Wren & Co. Speaking of the collapse. John J. Mitchen. president of the Illinois State and Savings Bank id: "The ba.nks will npt lose, for they had anticipated just such a crash as happened yesterday. That the speculation in the stock could not last everybody knew. A panic in the stock was bound to result. For some time Chicago banks decided not to loan any more money on Diamond Match stock than they ha,ve already loaned say 160 per cent. This collapse will clear the atmosphere and I don't anticipate any serious results outside the parties directly cancerned." I. D. Armour said this afternoon that he did not fear a panle as the result of the Moore Brothers failure. "I do not think it will affect other stocks." he said. "The rrcn who held the bulk of the stock are very wealthy and will come out all tight. I do not fear a panic and believe the Moore Brothers will come out all right in the end. It is the plan for people who advanced money on Diamond Match to take care of the stock at the prices they advaiyed. and all to form an underwriting syndicate." A nromlncnt stock broker of this city. Charles Counselman. says of the Diamond Match fiasco: "The deal rs virtually closed. The Diamond Match property is all right. The company 'ha had nothing to do with the speculation. It earned $1,800.090 last year on $11,000,000 capital and, has $5,000,000 of quick assets. The speculation has lxen made by the Moores and their friends. Mr. Moore sayj he is not busted; that he has resources and plenty of courage. But Mcore has been away up in the air. He could not sell his stock and so he has kept on buying it at very high prices. That is at an end. The rveople who have loaned on the security will handle it from this forward. They will market it to investors. There will be no more buying at fancy prices. No further attempt to support nrices. but the stock will be heldMoor. I think, will have a generous equity. The whole block of security will be underwritten.I think 170 for Diamond Match will not. however, be the figure. That is too high. The loans are a good deal under that figure. I think that 150 will protect the people who advanced it." i WJll Go nt n. Sacrifice. AKRON. O., Aug. 4.-Iembers c'f the .Diamond Match Company In this city say the failure of the Moore Brothers, of Chicago, will not affect the concern In any way except to reduce the present market quotation of Diamond Match stock. It was principally through the efforts of th Moores that Diamond Match stock reached the recent hijh figures. Their large holdings will doubtless be sold at a sacrifice. Miss Kate Barber, aged .forty, a sister of O. C. Barber, president of the Diamond Match Company, died at her home here this morning. For a number of years her mind had been unbalanced and she had recently been brought here from the Newburg Hospital, at Cleveland. Itld to the Stiver Cra-e. LONDON, Aug. 5.-A leader in the Dally News says: "The reported history of the Chicago failure U in complete harmony

with Mr. DepeWs latest delivery on the ruinous effect of the silver craze. The chief difficulty in these American combinations fpr a rise seems to be to get Providence to stand in." HIO LUMBER FAILURE.

The Governor Maltreated. ATHENS, Aug. 4. Hassam Pasha has been reinstated as Governor of Heraklion, in .the Island of Crete, as being the only man able to cope with the situation. On his refusing to admit to the town a mob bringing in the bodies of two Mussulmans who were shot by insurgents he was torn from his horse and severely maltreated. The situation is critical, and thousands of Mussulmans, armed to the teeth, are thronging to Heraklion unchecked The Christian residents are in a state of panic, and Turkish troops have been sent from Canea to restore order. Serious lighting is reported from Macedonia. Two hundred Insurgents inflicted severe losses on three hundred Turkish trcops at Sarataporos Pass, near Elassona.

In the House of Lords to-night that body, by a vote of 23 to 19, inserted a clause In the Irish laborers' bill which the government resisted, as it would endanger the passage of the bill in the House of Commons. The defeat of the government caused a stir in the lobby. It has disconcerted the government, which fears that the Irish land bill will suffer considerably at the hands of the Irish landlord peers, among them the Marquis of Londonderry, the Earl of Winehile and the Duke of Abercorn, whose strictures on the land bill promise amendments In committee which are likely to cause trouble when the measure Is returned lo the House of Commons.

Soudan Letter In London Times. Of all the numerous British officers who have taken Par in former campaigns against the Mahdlsts, all allow that the Dervishes hava lost nothing of their old valor. They heed death as little as ever. I saw them stand undismayed in the open and fight with dogged determination in the face of our deadly volley fire; they fought on with rifle and epear and knife when charged by the cavalry; each wounded Dervish, as he lay bleeding to death on the ground, was a dangerous and treacherous foe until he had breathed his last; they even did what some authorities have denied that any troops, however brave, would ever do they stood in groups firing steadily into our ranks while oiy Maxim guns poured their streams of bullets on them, mowing them down like grass. I doubt whether any other men In the world would have stood, as these-men stood, for nearly two hours, against such fearful odds as were opposed to them. But. if one may judge from this fight, the Dervishes have changed their oJd tactics; they have to a great extent abandoned the reckless rush of spearsmen which used to distinguish Soudanese warfare: and rely more on rifle fire, in which their practice has considerably improved. If trained and dis.cipllr.ed (but it is very doubtful whether that ravage beast of prey, the Baggara. ever cotild be tamed) these men wou d make magnificent infantrymen. They display now as much amazing coolness when acting on the defensive as they did wild elan In their furious charges of former campaigns. During one part of the fight I was with the men of the Ninth Soudanese Battalion, who wera 'clearing the hills to the east of Ferkeh, and I saw a handful cf twenty-five of the enemy's riflemen stand firm and fire Into us until we wers twenty yards from them, when they in vain sought safety in flight. The majority of these riflemen were blacks of the same stock as the men of our Soudanese battalions; it is. therefore, possible to form some L Idea of how the latter will fight If caught in a "tight corner." The Jthalira's black riflemen, or Jehadia. for the most part

fight tinwillingly in the cause of the tyrant who has ruined their country, and gladlv desert to us. but once in the thick of a fight they forget all this, their Mom is up. and they ret to as if Imbued with fanatical frenzy. In my last letter I recorded an incident . I -witnessed that of one of our Spudajiese soldiers rushing from the ranks to embrace a prisoner who had just been taken and whom he recognized as a relation. Sirnbar strange meetings occurred over the who.e field. A man of the Ninth Battalion found his father lying dead among the fnomy Again, when the men of the Tenth Battalion were attacking the enemy's riverside position, they were set to clear a hut held by a number of desperate men. who tired on them from the loopholes with considerable erfect. At last nearly all the defenders were killed, and the few eurvivors surrendered and came out. among them a big black, who no doubt, up to that moment had been doing his bert to kill as many of our men as possible; but as soon as he appeared a soldier laughingly ran forward and put his arms around his neck: then several others recognizing in him an old friend whom they had not seen for years, welcomed him. their faces beaming with pleasure, and there was a general embracing all round. No fewer than one hundred of the black prisoners whom we took during the fight of the 7th have already been enlisted in the Soudanese battalions. GEX. GIIAXT'S WOLF STOTAY

Applied to Present Campaign Also Another Story. Army and Navy Journal. Gen. Grant in his 'Memoirs" tells us that when in li-iS he was crossing lexas with Lieut. Calvin Benjamin, who was soon afterward killed In the assault on the City of Mexico, they wcae disturbed by the howling of wolves so hidden by the prairie grass that thev could not bo seen, though the sound indicated that they were near by. Grant says: "The part of Ohio that I hailed from was not thickly settled, but wolves had been driven out long before I left. Benjamin was from Indiana, still less populated, where the wolf yet roamed over the prairies. He understood the nature of the animal and the capacity of a few to make believe that therrj was an unlimited number of them. He kept on toward the noise unmoved. I followed in hjs tra'il, lacking moral courage to turn back and join our sick companion (Augur.) I have no doubt that if P-enjamln had proposed returning to Goliad I would not only have 'seconded the motion.' but have suggested that it was very hard-hearted in us to leave Augur sick there in the first place; but Benjamin did not propose turning back. When he did speak it was to ask, -'Grant, how many wolves do you think there are in that pack?' Knowing where he was from, and suspecting that he thought I would overestimate the number. I determined to show my acquaintance with the animal by putting the estimate below what possibly could be correct, and answered, Oh, about twenty. very indifferently. He emiled and rode on. In a minute wo were close upon them and before they saw us. There were just two of them, grated upon their haunches, with their mouths close together, they made all tho noise we had been hearing for the past ten minutes. I have often thought of this instance since, when I have heard tho noise of a few disappointed politicians who had deserted their associates. There are always more of them before they are counted." The Populists arc just now making a great outcry in the prairie grass and nobody will -be able to tell until next November how many of them are there. Meantime they hre frightening the conservative element of the country much worse than the Texas wolves did Grant. They have captured the organization of the Democratic party, nominated for President a gentleman who ha? thus far shown no capacity for executive office beyond his ability to make a speech, and who is apparently relying more upon magnetism tlan management to secure his election. If elected, he will probably appoint Altgeld, the present Governor of Illinois. Secretary cf War. in which event the oftieers will be relieved from any further anxiety concerning the increase of the army. If w have public ships at all. they may, perhaps, be employed, in transporting silver to the United States and carrying to foreign countries the gold given in exchange for it, at the rate of about two gold dollars for one sliver dol-ar. as the relative values of the two metals is fixed in the exchange of the world. f It is not our office to determine political forecasts, and we give here the opinions expressed by those who are anxrou to see the defeat of the candidate of the Chicago convention. William J. Bryan, of Xehi .im.,. including the administration at Washington, and-a large body of Democratic leaders and Democratic newspapers who be'ieve that the abandonment of the gold standard and the adoption-of the principles declared in the Chicago platform mean the destruction of commerce, the paralyzing of our manufacturing .industries, and the ruin of the country. Where political action is determined by passichi and prejudice, instead of by reason, it is hard to say what the result may be. The situation recalls the condition of things after the breaking up of the Democratic national convention at Charleston, just before the war. Men like General Sherman and General Gordcn Granger, who had been in contact with the Southern sentiment, warned their Northern friends of the coming danger. They were listened to with impatience, and President Lincotn accorded scant courtesy to Sherman when he undertook to convince him that he knew what he was talking about. We: leave each man to complete the parallel to please himself. BIG MONEY IX AX IDEA. Origin of the Pneutnatle Tire nnd the Wealth It Una Earned. Philadelphia Press, ' In ISSy a Belfast doctor a veterinary surgeon. In, fact, named Dunlop having a regard fcr the spinal column of his eldest boy, conceived the idea of taking a piece of garden hose, wrapping it around the wheel of his son's bicycle, welding the two ends together with melted rubber and thus forming the first pneumatic tire. This gave a cushion to the periphery of the bicycle and made its mounting of obstacles easy and cushion-like. Dunlop had a friend in the person of a well-to-do Irishman named Harvey DuCros. who abandqned the business he was engaged In and risked his wealth in the formation of a company that had for Its object the exploitation of a. pneumatic tire for the bicycle. It was capitalized at JIOO.UOO. and fifteen months later that was in the early part of 1S91 it declared a dividend ot, 10 per cent., or $10,000 in all, nnd added $1,000,000 to its surplus fund. Two years later that same company declared a dividend of $2,500,000. One year ago the rights of that organization were sold to a British syndicate for $13,000,00), and the purchasing party capitalized the company at $20,000,000. and openly asked for subscriptions to that amount. The proffers were nearly three times the amount of the capital stock. In Belfast, at one bank alone, where books were opened $1,000,000 was subscribed in less. than three hours. Meanwhile those who had control of this valuable patent had not thought of America. A prominent - manufacturer, when spoken to on the subject, said: "Oh. that pneumatic tire buainess is all nonsense. You will run over a sharp stone or a tack and the air will escape and then you will walkjack home. There is nothing in it. It will never take in this country. But meanwhile, two years had elapsed, and under the patent laws it was too late , to get an exclusive franchise in this country. The result is that to-day the pneumatic tire in America has no hindering patent right stamped upon it. Any maker of a wheel can use it. but the owners cf the British invention have deprived themselves of many millions of good money. DIGGIXG FOR DIAMONDS. Stringent Lawn "Which Are Xeeenaary to Protect All Faction. St. Paul's. Of c-ourse. the expenses of a company owning a block of claims are enormous, and a large number of stoneti have to be found before the margin for a dividend arrives. The expense and difficulty of reaching the diamond field in the early days kept away the rowdy element to be found in our Western mines. Such diggers as have remained m the fields since the "early days" seem never to be tired of talking of the life i?y then led as the happiest they have ever known. Then each would peg out his claim and go to work therein with pick and shovel, depending scarcely at all upon the uncertain help of the lazy Kaffir, and with his own strong arm attacked the hard, pebbly sell In which the diamond was imprisoned, and in a primitive way "washed" the soil for diamonds. They are not to be picked up walking through the streets or over the "floors" whese the soil lies pulverized by sun and rain. It is illegal to own a diamond, unless one is a claim-holder or a licensed buyer. If a private individual wishes to purchase a stone cr two for himself, he must first obtain a permit from the authorities. These precautions will be seen to be necessary, because the value of the diamond, its portability, the facility with which It can be concealed and tire uncertainty rerardlng its existence make it a source of temptation to dishonesty among all classes. It is, therefore, against tke law for anyone, even if a licensed buyer, to purchase a diamond from any one not a claim-holder, unless he can produce his permit. The law has been so stringent, and th detective force so active, that terror has stricken the I. D. B.'s (illicit diamond buyers), for it is a matter of "fifteen years diamond.

The reports of explorers who hive recently journeyed through Africa confirm i:i large measure the stories of s.sraciiv anl organized movements among the b.ibocr of the country that used to be regarded as exaggerations, to say th bist.
