The first warning of the approaching | encounter was heard last night in the bold utterances of Congressman J. C. Sibley of Pennsylvania in favor of a silver party, an | aggressive campaign for the remonetization | of the white metal without regard to previous party tles. Today all disguise was thrown | off. The men who favor a silver party, with | one purpose and one idea, under the leader- ship of Sibley, Tillman of South Carolina Butler of North Carolina, Stewart of Nevada, and Adams of Colorado, told of their plans | without reserve and asked their hearers to | decide between party and nation. On the other hand those who favor the settlement of the silver question within party lines urged conservative action; vigorous agitation for free silver, but bearing in mind that there were other questions of importance to the political future of the country which should cause the voter to think well before marked the change from the bimetalife to the single gold standard 1s the very year that marked the change from a_ condition of rising prices, Inrge profits, general con- tentment and great prosperity to & condi- tion of falling prices, dlminishing profits, insecurity ployed labor nin_all branshes of trade and Industry. It Is not a matter of dispute, even among the honest advocates of the yold standard, that ral pros- perity came to an end with the destruction of the bimetallic system, and hard times, falling prices, idle workingmen and wide: oy ad depression came in with the gold standard and prevalls toduy wherever the gold standard has been adopte PRESCRIFTION FOR RELIEF, very Internatic monetary conference every demand in this Eur for an international re-establish the bimetaliic nfession that the demoneti- ntry and eement to standard is a Zation of silver was a biunder, it hot a erime; that it has been disastrous, and that_the conditions that it has wrought are full of menaces of peril.

A®standard nstituted of money antly increasing in value is not a sound, a safe, nor a stable standard, but a constantly changing stan- dard. The effect of gold monometallism is to establish one standard for the creditor and another for the debtor, and there can be no more dishonest monetary system than that which gives short measure to the bor- rower and long measure to the lender Under the policy prevailing prior to 1573 there can be no violent change in the re ative value of the two m s, for a_rise in value of one metal is ¢ cted by a decr demand _and value by an inc mand. sperations of thi stable relation was maintain in spite of the most extreme changes in’' relative produc- tions.

But the conventlion ad- journed with a schism in it. One faction advocates the Sibley “idea” and the capture of the democratic convention, and failing In that, the independent action, while others were fighting the Issue strictly within party lnes. FIGHTING THE SIBLEY BOOM. There was considerable dissatisfaction this morning among a number of (nfluential demo- crats who are In attendance upon the con- vention at the radical utterances of Mr Sibley last night, his appeal for independent political action in 1896 and the oblteration of party ties. The attempt to swing the gathering Info a_third party boom, pre- sumably In_Mr. Sibley's personal interest, was not relished by such men as Senator Harris, Governor Clark of Arkansas, Mr Vardaman, candidate for governor of Miss- 1sslppl, Colonel Galloway, one of the oldest newspaper men in the south, and they were not slow In expressing their disapproval. There was some talk of a bolt of the con- servatives, but it was 8o obvious that the third party men were 80 hopelessly in the minority that they were powerless and that sontiment had not many exponents. jovernor Evans of South Carolina is an- other opponent of the “Sibley idea.” He sald to the Assoclated press correspondent “I believe the proper policy to pursue is to capture the democratic convention. If the free silver men capture the democratic con- vention the gold bugs will secede and joln the republican party. They can accomplsh this, as was illustrated by the recent action of the Illinois democratic convention." “If it became necessary, governor, would you give up your democracy for free silver?” “I would give up anything and go any- where for free silver if it became necessary The free silver democrats will not go in the populist party, for that 1s a stench into the nostrils of the people, they will not go into the republican parly, and yet the demo cratie party under Cleveland is little better.” Practically the same views are held by Senator Tillman. His position is for free silver, first through the instrumentality of the democratic party if that body accepts; if not, by independent political action At 10:15 Rev. Dr. Brooks of opened the convention with prayer, which the arrival of delegates from Arizona and Arkansas was announced. Chalrman Turple then announced that the committee on resolutions was not ready to report, and Memphis after introduced Senator Willlam Stewart, who addressed the convention. ALLEN FURNISHED THE FUN. When Senator Stewart had finished his speech, loud cries wer made for Congressman Money, one of the silver leaders of Missis- sippl. He advanced to the front of the stage and prefaced his remarks by saying: “I am here a sllver man from head to foot, and a democrat all over.” Mr. Money was suffering Jrom a sore thr and spoke but a few minutes, deprecating any attempt to settle the silver question outside the democratic party. Private John Allen of Mississippl was then called on by the audience to speak. He began: “I, like the poor, am always with you.” He advanced no new argument, but caught the crowd, throwing a verbal bouquet at Senator Stewart, and reminding the people that the west was the friend of the south The speaker elicite} rounds of applause when o said the fight should not be taken from the democratic party. He claimed that the gold men were threatening the people with the disruptton of the demorcatic party, and ho invited the republicans to come into the democratic party and fill up the ranks made vacant by the deserters who went to the re- publican party. “It Is a foregone conelusion, fellow cf:izens,"” eald the speaker, ‘“that these gold men will go into the republican party. They say this silver movement is run by politictans, but when I look over the leaders of the go! bugs I find men who were in politics when I was an infant. These people keep me con- stantly perturbed. I can hardly sleep at night for worrying about my gold. I am afraid it will go abroad. I tell you, my friends, you cannot keep too close a watch on your gold. 1t is llable to leave the couniry at any min- ute. President Cleveland has received a good deal of praise for his backbone. Let us di abuse his mind of the belief that there is any corner in backbone. The American people have a little and they are going to show it.” The private kept the audience laughing for about fifteen minutes, and at the concluson of his remarks the convention took a recess until 2:30, Immediately after the convention was called to order for the afternoon session Senator J. K Jones ot Arkansas presented the report of the committee on resolutions, which read as fol- lows: RESOLUTIONS COMMITTER llver and gold have in all tuted the money of the worle money of the fathers of the republic, the money of history and of the constitution The universal experience of mankind has demonstrated that the joint use of both silver and gold coin as money constitutes the most stable standard of values; that the full amount of both metals is necessar as & medium of exchange.

ADOPTED WITH A HURRAH. The reading of the resolutions further interrupted by applause, and they were adopted with sion.

Morgan of Alabama, Pugh of Alabama, and Jones of Nevada, endorsing the convention and containing words of en- couragement for the advocates of the free coinage cf silver. In response to repeated calls from the audi- ence, Senator Jones of Arkansas advanced to the front of the stage. “I had no idea, gen- tlemen,” sald he, “of making a speech. The resolutions just presented contain my views on this subject as tersely as they could be expressed in words.” Bx-Governor Prince of New Mexico was called on and spoke for about an hour, after which Senator Tillman of South Carolina oc- cupled about an hour in presenting his finan- clal views Ex-Governor Adams' address concluded the afternoon session. Congressman Bankhead of Alabama pre- sided at the evening session. General Warner of Ohio was the first speaker. Ex-Congress- man Bryan followed General Warner and de- voted his time principally to a reply to Secre- tary Carlisle's speech made at the sound money convention. State Senator Anson Wal- cott of Indiana was the last speaker. Under the resolution passed this afternoon the following national committee was ap- pointed to call a national silver convention in its discretion: Alabama, John W. Tomlinson; Arkansas, Charles Coffin; California, Alex- ander Delmar; Colorado, A. W. Rucker; Georgia, N. W. Longley; Kentucky, J. A. Parker; Loulsiana, Senator Blanchard; Mis- sourt, J. C.

WALSH, Acting British Consul at Chicago. At the office of Governor Holcomb Private Secretary Marat said that the governor had set on foot an inquiry In regard to the as- sault and would make a full report to the British consul Penitentiary Physician H. C. Demaree has written to Governor Holcomb that Conv.ct Charles Dodson is confined in the prison hos. pital with tuberculosis of the lungs, and in the judgment of the physician will not recover. He adds that Dodson's sentence ex- pires July 18, 1895, and suggests that he re celve executive clemency. In accordance with this communication Governor Holcomb today pardoned the afflicted convict. Dodson was convicted in Richardson county, Ne- braska, for assault with intent to kill and sentenced to four years. He was recelved at the penitentiary June 20, 1892. In reply to the statement by ex-Warden Beemer that the month's estimate for sup- plies for the penitentiary sent in to the Board of Public Lands and Buildings by Warden Leld.gh was twice the amount ever required before, the latter says that It is an exact duplicate of the last one sent in by Contractor Dorgan.

The truth is that the so-called locust does not destroy anything by eating. The only injury from them is because of their puncturing the smaller branches of fruit and other trees for the reception of the insccts’ eggs. This is comparatively light.

Dr. W. F. Ringland tendered his resig- nation as president of the college, which was accepted. Rev. J. D, Courterman of Beatrice was chosen as his successor. Mr. Courter- man was notified of the board’s action and they have good reasons to believe that he will accept. Ringland's resignation did not cause much surprise as it has long been looked for. The trustees have taken new interest In the college and will devote more in- tima than stitution.
