i W POP STORY EXPLODED. | Texas Democrats Adopt a New Plan of Argument. Washington, D. C., Sept. 10.— The Democratic Congressional com- mittee had an interesting letter to- day from Texas, showing how Dem- ecrats of the Lone Star State meet) and overcome the arguments and | wiles of Populists. The monetary | question is a vital issue in Texas, and the Populists denounced the Democratic party as opposed to! dimetallism. They reinforced their] arguments by calling attention to she fact that no silver dollars were wm circulation in Texas of 1894 aud they stated no silver dollars had been coined by the Democratic ad ministration since the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. This warfare worried Demo 2ratic leaders until William T. Arm- istead, chairman of the Democratic sommittee, sent $500 to the mint at New Orleans for that amount of sil ver dollars of this year’s coinage. His order was filled, and 500 big hard dollars were distributed among Democratic leaders in the that sec ‘tion. Armed with these coins Demo- arate circulated among those who had attended Populistic meetings and casually requested exchange of a dollar bill for a silver dollar. This request being gladly complied with the Democrat would suggest that the date of the coinjshould be noted. The effect was instantaneous. The news spread rapidly that the Demo- eratic administration was still coin- tog silver dollars, and people there are now asking themselves, since Populists fooled them on this ques- tion, whether they have not also wnisled them on other matters. The vesult has been a decided weakening of Populistic influence and the re surn of many stragglers to the Dem- scratic fold. Incidentally it might be remarked | from the system. that there have been half a million silver dollars coined during the pres- ent year, most of which have been minted at New Orleans and San Franuciseo mints. One Fact Certain. Kansae-City Times, In his recent speech at Bangor, Maine, Gov. McKinley dwelt with much tenderness upon the idea that the Democratic party proposes to eontinue the tariff agitation. The eountry has been disturbed for a year anda half on account of the unertainty of the tariff question, he says, and it is consequently a reason for defeating the Democratic party that its success in the coming elec tion will be followed by the passage of supplemental tariff legislation. it is surprising that a Presidential aspirant should resort to such a measure of pettyfogging. The echo of his voice as it rolled over the crowd in the direction of the adjac- ent hills had scarcely died out when he assured the same audience shat if the Republicans are success- ful the McKinley law will be re en acted and restored to the statute books,where it may resume the bus mess of robbing the people for the denefit of trusts and monopolies. But Mr. McKinley is right in his eonjecture that the Democrats will eontinue the work of tariff reform until it is completed. The separate bills for free sugar, iron org, coal and barbed wire will all be adopted during the coming short session or very early in the session that follows The Democrats have promised tariff reform and they will fulfill the prom ige, and when the supplemental bills are passed and signed the country will have the best revenue system in its history. A Sugar neakty: One single planter in Louisiana gets this year, $468,900, another gets $392,200 andseveral others get more than $200,000 each. What public service have these plarters done to the people of Maryland and Virginia for instance that they should be pen- sioned? Is the profits of wheat growing so great thata portion of it should be taken away to bestow spon the sugar grower? The sugar grower may contend that he is of as much valu to the country as Carnegie and Carnegie gets more from the people than he does. This is one of the most baleful features of the whole system. It makes men look to a paternal goveroment instead of to their own honest endeavor and| enterprise, and it is agross and fla-| grant injustice to men who, like the wheat grower, can reap no advantage | It is against the whole form of the republican govern- | ment for the foundation rock of the | system must be equality before the| law.—Baltimore Sun. The Repubican Record. A well informed exchange has this to say of the republican record on Silver: “Cameron, Hoar, Hawley, Sher- man and even Tom Reed now pro- fess to want silver coined But these fellows may as well be informed first as last, that deathbed, or scaffold repentance, “isn't worth acuss.” The professions of the re publicans that they now desire to have silver coined comes in very bad grace in the hght of their past his- tory. The official record of their vote duricg the last eight years is as follows: In the house April 8, 1886. Republicans for silver 30; silver 98. In the house June 7, 1899 Republicans for silver 15; against silver 127. In the house June 25, 1890. Republicans for silver 23; against silver 130. In the Senate June 17, 1890. Republicans for silver 15; silver 22. In the heuse March 24, 1892. Republicans for silver 11; against silver 67. Iu the Senate July 2, 1892 Republicans for silver 11; silver 19. In the house July 13, 1892. Republicans for silver 9; silver 60. In the house August 23, 1893. Republicans for silver 13; silver 111. Tn the house March 1, 1894. Republicans for silver 19; against silver {71. The above is a true record of the republican vote on silver during the last eight years. Have they been ignorantly voting on that subject all these years? If they have then the people made a fearful blunder when they sent them to make Jaws. If they knew better the people should send the scoundrels home as soon as popssible.” again. against against against against A Hero at the ‘throttle. A train pulled out of Duluth bear- ing 250 passengers, men, women and children. The name of the engineer was Root. James Root, a common- place name, fitting 2 commonplace man. As the train sped on the sun- light became darkened, and darkness grew so that the lamps were lighted in the cars and the great eye of the engine was set aflame. “There's a storm coming, Jack,” said the engin- eer to McGowan, his fireman. But the clouds were not the beneficent carriers of rain. They were a death pall gathering about the train from fires of the forest that were even then feeding on villages and drink- ing up the blood of human victims. After a time these clouds wrapped the train so densely in their folds that the character of them became known to the half stifled passengers, and terror entered in with them. The light of the engine could pene trate them only to reveal less than a hundred feet of track, and the speed of the tram was a rush through chaos. Soon the town of Hinckley was reached—no longer a town but a heap of ashes and charred bones and yet burning flesh. As the train came to a standstill a hundred or two frightened wretches, fugitives from the consunming flames, clamber- ed aboard in a frenzied way,piteously pleading to be hurried from the pursuing flames that even now leap- against | , to his post with a fidelity that the on the Forbuua at Fort Said, Egypt raging hell could not dismay.

But the flames pursued faster than the train could fly, and the heat of them shattered the glass of the windows, caught the woodwork of the cars, and blistered it into fire. Arms of flames reached in through the windows of the cab and caught the clothing of the engineer, so that the fireman had to fling buckets of water over him as he stood. The throttle became hot and scorched the palm that grasped it, but the tense muscles not for a moment re- laxed their hold. The engineer stood ed.
