Populist Senators and Oongressmen Issue & Manifesto, ict, They Say, is Moment and Irrepressible—Another Dig at the President. The populist members of Congress and the two Senators from Nevada have issued a silver manifesto to the country, The ad- dress, which is directed to the people, starts with the declaration that, ‘The conflict of the money powers battling for a gold oli- garchy andghe masses struggling for con- stitutional Hberty is momentous and irre- pressib! and closes with the exhortation to “Trust no man who has once betrayed you. Put no faith in any President who as- sumes dictatorial power. Do not be over- awed or intimidated by Wall street and the power of the national banks. When the people rise in their might, intrigue, cunning, usurpation, bribery and corruption will van- ish before them.” - The address is signed by Senators Peffer, Jones, Stewart, Kyle and Allen, and by Representatives Davis, Baker, Born, Bell (Colorado), Harris, Hudson, Simpson, Penge, Kem and McKeighan, and is, in part, as follow: A large part of the gcid coin in the world is now hoarded in anticipation of war, and the rest is controlied by banks in the money centers of Europe and America. General prices are fixed by the volume of money in circulation. The decrease of that voluthe in approxiinating the gold standard i the last twenty years has reduced prices of Property and the products of labor fully, 50 per cent. The controi of gold by the banks enables them to regulate the volume of money based on gold ang to expand or con- tract it at pleasure. ‘Ihe reduction of standard money to gold alone means continuous contraction of the volume of money. ‘The struggle for gold is shaking the foundation of every. financial system in the world. The increased demand for gold since silver was demonetized has already enhanced the value of that metal from ## to 50 per cent. The repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act destroys silver as money of ultimate redemption and reduces that metal to credit money to moat only by re- demption in gold. The $1,100,000,000 of paper and silver now in circulation must rest upon Jess than $100,000,000 of gold in the treasury available for redemption. The oniy reason for demonetizing silver was to enhance the value of gold and obligations payable in money. It ts Sesto eg to sell bonds of the United Stat and buy gold to strengthen the reserves in the treasury. National banks will use the bonds for bank- ing purposes and issue their notes, upon which the people must pay interest as well as on the bonds. The Sherman act had furnished. the | country about $150,000,00 of legal tender money and contributed largely to “general prosperity, but it interfered with tne full establishment of the gold standard and the appreciation of gold coin. It was the only law that obstructed the final consummation of the original conspiracy to get rid of one- half of the world’s metallic money. The struggle in the Senate lasted more than two months, and until the gold power and federal patronage could induce a ma- jority of that body to submit to executive | dictation. The gold press in every commer- ‘cial center teemed with misrepresentation, insult and abuse of the unpurchasable de- fenders of the people. Banks, boards of trade, and the commercial press demanded a vote without debate. The power of money was felt on every hand. Intimidation and threats of personal violence loaded the matis of Senators. But the decree of the gold trust, issued by the Executive, was finally recorded and the gold standard adopted. If that decree can- not be reversed a gold oligarchy is perman- ently enthroned, and the people must, under continual contraction and falling ‘prices, sink into want and misery. Mr. A. J. Warner, president of the Bi- metallic League, has also issued an appeal in behalf of silver. ————_—_-o+_____ THE CHICAGO TRAGEDY Taken a Theme by Many Ministers Yesterday. The assassination of Mayor Carter Harri- son furnished a text for a number of ser- mons in the churches of this city yesterday. Several ministers used the tragic event to point a moral or draw a conclusion. Rev. Hugh Johnson of the Metropolitan M. E. Church said the tragedy illustrates one of the weak points in our civilization, the cor- ruption of municipal government. Rev. Scott F. Hershey of the Sixth Street Pres- byterian Church declared that Chicago had sown the wind and reaped the whirlwind. Rev. Green Clay Smith at the Metropoli- tan Baptist Church drew the conclusion that the true policy should be to arrest every in- sane man as soon as he exhibited a ten- dency to commit crime. At the Tabernacle Congregational Church yesterday morning Rev. Dr. T. W. Jones of Philadelphia, superintendent of the Congre- | gational Home Missionary Society for the middle states, delivered an address on the | parliament of religions recently assembled | in Chicugo. At the Church of St. Michael's and All Angels the Rev. Mr. Bispham delivered an | nte-comm union sermon upon the relation of the three natures. Dr. Stakely, at the First Baptist Church, | preached a sermon to show that life may be made worth living, and that some joy may be found this side of the grave. Foundry Church held a good congregation yesterday and Dr. Brown received a class of probationers into church membership. In the evening the second monthly mission- ary concert, recently inaugurated by the pastor, was given by the members of the Epworth League. Addresses were delivered by Mrs. Irving Ball on Alaska and M>. W. O. Isou_on India. Solos were sung by Messrs. Ball and Drown | ending November 4, 18%, show: | turers’ fur, $551; champagne, $v2; cigars, AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Officers Elected by the West End Asso- ciated Obarities. Many Boats Arrive and Depart on the Canal—Did Not Know a Gun Was Loaded. © On Friday evening at 4 o’clock the an- nual meeting of the first subdivision of As- sociated Charities was held for the purpose of electing officers for the new year and | otherwise making preliminary arrangements for the carrying on of the winter's work, which promises to be heavier than ever before. The election resulted in the selection of the following gentlemen: President, Mr. F. L. Moore; vice president, Pay Director Looker; treasurer, Mr. J. G. Waters: dele- gate to the central office, Mr. B. T. Janney, and secretary, Justice Joseph W. Davis. The treasurer's report of the financial eon- dition of the association showed but a small cash balance on hand. It was moved and seconded that the as- sociation appeal to the people in general of Georgetown for their support. Not only money was needed, but food and cast-off clothing too, Great care is exercised by the association in the distribution of things, and few impostors can boast of having fooled the representatives of the organization. Be- fore help is extended a thorough investiga- tion of the case is always made. ~~) Custom Ho! — A statement of entries received at the Georgetown custom house during the week .

The same |4s often the case when there is any meas lure of importance pending in Congress. ; There are many persons throughout the land who are not only willing, but anxious, to carry upon their shoulders the respon- sibifities of the country. In their own minds they are able to solve the numerous | knetty problems submitted to the nation’s |Tepresentatives and are ready to make suggestions and answer questions. 20 jmatter of what importance. Seldom are | they willing to converse on topics other | than that which has deprived them of their | reasoning power. The silver bill sect many | persons of this class to thinking and the result is that the army of cranks has great- ly increased. Judging from reports from various sections of the country many of the cranks have assumed a murderous ten- dency and following in the wake of Pren- dergast, the slayer of Mayor Harrison, they seemed to be bent on killing some noted officials. Since the killing of Mayor Harrison several cranks have appeared in New York, West Virginia and other states, The latest scare of this kind came last week when a letter from a4 civil engineer from Idaho =, received. This letter toid | of the presencé in this city of a man who had threatened the chief executive. Private Thurber aad Secretary Laraont were aware of the presence of the |man in the city, and through them the serv- bed of the police department were called for. |, According to the letter the writer while |im Idaho only a short while ago was in a | saloon where he met the supposed ‘¢rank. Sitting at a table in the saloon in the far | west the silver bill was freely discussed andthe map .with red hair’ became loud in pis denunciation of the President and the ers of the bili. The ‘man was mu excited at the time and for that rea- son his violent language was not noticed by civil engineer, But when the latter to this city and went out sightseeing met the man with red hair strolling through the grounds of the Executive Man- sion. This excited his Suspicions and the next day he returned? to Inds and there he again saw the man. latter left the grounds in'a hurry amd seemed anxious to avoid being seen by the civil engineer. That night the latter discussed the affair at his boarding a3 wrote ine bypmng | crank as being a man of slender — red hair, sharp-pointed beard and jue eyes. This letter reached the chief of pdlice Friday affernoon, and was turned over to Inspector Hollinberger. An extra detail waa put on in the vicinity of the White House, and every effort was made to keep but the affair soon—be- came known to many officials, an@ Satur- day night the facts leaked out. ee ee es eer, wi hi details of the conversation nad with the red haired’ man, and of his seeing ‘him about the White House. Now the police are all on the lookout fer the man. In their effort to keep the affair quiet the officials failed to notify the different precincts, so that the privates on the force were not given an opportunity to pick up the man, who has probably been roaming the streets during his stay here. While he may still be in the city, the police have an idea that he has been frightened and left here. ji Amother Arrested.

Suspicious Cranks, Watched When | They Visit the Pension Bureau. A keen watch is being kept for homicidal | maniacs at the pension office. It is a stand- ing order at the bureau that no insane man shal) be permitted to carry concealed weap- omg into the private office of the commis- sioner of pensions. During the first haif of the year, especially while the suspension of pensions pending medical examination was keeping the veterans in hot water, Judge Lochren received so many awful threats that toward the end these threats id not even produce a shudder. The judge told a Star reporter that a man may be- come reconciled to his fate, and that he got used to having a head put on him by letter, or his throat cut by mail and his heart’ silenced, his pulse ceased and his liver turned over in an epistolary way, that it did not produce even an uncomfort- able sensation. Suddenly all these blood- reeking communications broke off. The judge has not lost his life more than once or twice in the last month. This is re- garded by those around the commissioner es an ominious circumstance. No pecullat looking personage is permitted to take a shot at him. Even reporters hive to break the polrits off their lead pencils before en- tering. Stabbing utensils are prohibited. It was only last week that Private Secretary Reed headed off a lunatic who was work- ing his way in a suspicious manner towar® Judge Lochren. It was the same gentiemar. who had attempted to send Gen.
