Cyrus B. Wat son, Democratic candidate for Governor. SOME POINTED aUESTIONS. The Philadelphia Ledger is a po litically independent paper, but is now supporting Mr. McKinley, mainly because he stands upon a "sound money" platform. It is op posed to the free coinage of silver, which it professes to favor, as a good many other gold organs do, upon conditions which are practically im- ' possible, or at least so far remote as to be equivalent to impossible. A correspondent has recently asked it six questions which are so pointed, and which it so frankly answers that we herewith reproduce them, giving as much of the answers as bears di rectly upon the questions asked. The questions and answers are as ' follows : . " First. "U not the present value of gold due largely to its being a money metal and its position as a money metal due to legislation? ' No doubt the value of gold has been increased and steadied by its general us; as a money metal. lis present posittion as a money metal is due to legislation, bat gold was used a3 a medium of ex change because of its convenience, be fore there was any law on the subject. The laws were not pas. ed to increase the value of gold or to benefit the own ers of gold mines, but because the peo ple wanted to use gold as a money metal. This is true of gold and it was equally true of silver up to the time of its demonetization by European Governments and this Govern ment. Second. "Is not the present low market price of silver the result of adverse legis lation upon the part of the United States and other leading nations?' Legislation has no doubt had some share in reducing the demand for silver, and therefore, in -reducing its market price, but the legislation of this country during recent years has been in favor of the white metal, sni has utterly failed to sustain the market price. Silver has fiilen in value under the operation of the law of su jd'v and demand. The supply has been increased while the demand wa? diminishing and the potential supply is now muci greater rn in it ever was. " There is a little candor in the con cession that "legislation has had some share - in nducingthe demand for silver, and thereby reducing its price," for adm'tiag the demand aod supply . argument, demonetiza tion destroyed the market for the greater part of the silver produced and the price fell as a matter of course. The legislation referred to in receat years as "in favor of the white metal," did i't keep up the price because it provided only for the purchase and coinage of a lira 1 ited amount of silver, which ,under that legislation was still regarded as . a commercial . metal, ! without any fixed value. ' It is to meet this ob jection and give silver a stable price that its free coinage is demanded at a hxed ratio. . j . ! Third. "Would not legislative action appreciate its (silver's) market price?" If legislative action means action pro viding for the fijee coinage of silver, then of course it would raise the price, for the owner of silver who could go to the Uoited States Mint and get 412J grains ,r !.lvr,8Umpied a dollar "ould not Bell4l3K grains f jr much less than a dollar. 1 This is a very frank answer, and is precisely what the friends of free coinage have contended all along, in answer to the assertion that free coinage would give us fifty -cent dol lars. We have maintained that in- sicau ui aepreciaung the value of the coined dollar free coinage would appreciate the value of the bullion out of which the dollar was coined, and hence there could be no debase ment of the currency, of which the gold men talk so much: Fourth. "Weald not a universal bi metallic standard be advantageous to mankind?'' This is the belief of a great man economists both here and in Europe, and efforts are being, made to reach an international agreement on the snbiect. But the Ledger thinks that as de sirable as "a universal bimetallic standard" might be it is not practi cable nor possible without interna tional agreement. It assumes tnat the United States could not alone maintain bimetallism, which is ;a mere assumption and can't be estab lished until the effort is made. Bat isn't the professed desire for "the bi metallic standard" by many of the spokesmen for gold a sham ? Hasn't Secretary Carlisle, the most distin guished defender of the gold stand ard, confessed his inability to com prehend what Is 'meant by a double standard ? Hasn't it become the rule now among the gold organs to talk of silver as an antiquated coin metal which, as the New York Sun says, has served its day ? Hasn't the Philadelphia Record pronounced international bimetallism one of the colossal delusions with which the advocates of international agreement deceive themselves ? While there has been agitation of the subject In Europe, Hon. Perry Belmont who came back from Europe liis influence to commit the Chicago Convention to the gold stan daad, came to the conclusion from what he learned in his Intercourse with European bankers that inter national bimetallism was not even a remote possibility and that the banks wer nreoarinc themselves for the f k o permanent perpetuation of the gold standard. International bimetallism is favored in the St. Louts platform with a supplemental pledge to try to bring it about, but everybody who knows the men who made that plat form and knows the history of the Republican party on financial mat ters knows that thfs was put in sim ply to placate and deceive the friends of silver and secure their votes for the nominees of that convention. It was playing the same old fraud of 1892 with the fake pledge supple ment. Fifth. "If the United States does not take the initiative in remonetizing silver, when and how will bimetallism be ob tained?" As stated in the preceding answer, an attemDt to rehabilitate silver by the United States alone, resulting as it would m reducing this country to silver monometallism, would not promote the cause of bimetallism, bnt retard it. This is another assumption. There was no international agreement as to the demonetization of silver and there need be none as to its remonetiza tion. Alone, in 1816, England de monetized it at the demand of the Rothschilds, who became through it the world's richest money lenders, and since then other nations, which have also been influenced by the Rothschilds or their agents, have followed the example of England, and thus done much to ' put' them selves in England's power. England will do all she can to prevent inter national agreement, and it silver is ever to be remonetized it must be by some great nation leading off and acting independently. Sixth. ' Is it possible td conceive of time or condition in which Eogland would voluntarily give up ber advantage as a creditor nation with the world's money on a gold basis ?" Well informed German btmetallists have conceived such a time and condi tion. They believe that if the United States and all the nations of Continental Europe should agree upon an interna tional scheme of bimetallism, the threat ened isolation of England and destruc tion of ber trade relations with the re mainder of the world would force ber to adopt the same monetary system. German bimetallists believe the time may come when England may adopt bimetallism, but it depends on a very large-sized if. "If the United States and all the nations of Conti nental Europe should agree" then England in time would be compelled to come in. But. the time when such agreement is likely to be reached is about as remote as England's adopt ing bimetallism, and England will be a stumbling block in the way as she is now. England will adopt bimet allism when the shrinkage in her commerce and the necessities of trade force her to it, and not before. Continental nations are waiting for England to move and England hasn't the slightest idea of moving. If we wait for these things to happen this generation will have passed away and another will be on the stage before the "universal bimetallic standard" will be seen. MISOB. MEHTIOJT. The men who have been fighting for gold in both the Democratic and Republican parties have acted on the assumption that the free silver sentiment bad little strength outside of the South and what they call the "mining camps" of the West, but they are beginning to realize now that It is a powerful if not a domlnat ing factor in States that thev counted upon confidently for gold.' The more candid of them confess this, The Republican National Committee which met Thursday at Cleveland, u mo, contessed it when it found it necessary to take steps to check 4,the strong and rapidly growing silver sentiment. in an interview with a -representative of the Cincin . . . r . nati jost. published in the Stab yesterday, Attorney General Ketcham, of Indiana, a Republican and one of the shrewdest of politi cal observers, expressed the opinion that if the election- came off within month - Bryan would .carry In diana and possibly Ohio, and that if the election were held to-morrow the result would depend upon Illi nois. He gives as a' reason for this that the " farmers have been swept clear off their feet by the ; silver craze," and adds that every 'rich man that bolts the Chicago ticket" makes hundreds of votes Jot it, be cause it confirms the belief that this s a fight of6 the richfman against the people, and when the rich denounce the ticket and declare thev will ' not vote it they are doing splendid cam paign service for it. Mr. Ketcham s not alone in that opinion. Sometime ago, Mr.NHanna, Mrv McMinley's Mentor and campaign manager, declared, after the St.Louis platform was adopted and the East ern gold men forced the gold plank into it. that the tariff would be still the issue and the money question an issue only "In spots." If we may judge from the Cleveland, O., dis patch published yesterday m refer ence to the meeting of the National Republican Committee, Mr. Hanna has come to the conclusion that the spots' are spreading, lapping over, as it were, and that the money question is really an issue and a pretty large sized one. He and his i committee have therefore decided to bestir themselves to stem the silver tide, which they hope to beat back in the next sixty days, and then catch their breath and whoop it np some for the tariff and other questions. They have been dodging this' question until they couldn't dodge any longer, and have been compelled very much against their wishes to accept the challenge the silver men have sent them and speak out when they hoped to play mum. CURRENT COMMENT. Mr. McKinley has managed to made another speech without men tioning "gold." He Is frittering away an excellent opportunity. Washington fort, Jnd. "Honor Is dearer than party" is the latest McKinley platitude. Yet the record shows that the, Republi can nominee voted for every piece of wicked partisan legislation intro duced during bis Congressional career. He was conspicuous in his advocacy of the Force - bill, a meas ure utterly devoid of honor, and aimed at one section of the country. McKinley should try again. New York Journal, Dem. We are glad to see newspa pers and gold standard Democrats, who do not intend to support the ticket at Chicago, coming out and plainly saying so. Let's have an open and a fair fight. . There is no mistaking the issue. Those who favor the single gold standard are on one side, and those who favor in dependent bimetallism for the Uni ted States are on the other side. Augusta Chronicle, Dent. Mr. McKinley is moving by slow and apparently painfnl stages towards a plain and conclusive state ment in opposition to free silver coinage. His speech on Saturday came nearer to the mark than any thing he has yet said. And still it was made up largely of dull or glit tering generalities. He did not say he Is opposed to free coinage. Still less did he intimate that he would vote a high tariff bill with a free sil ver attachment the only kind of a tariff bill he is likely to get from the next Congress. New York World,, Dem.

Wat tTed In Warfare. Joinville, who served under King Louis E$iu tbe seventh crusade of 1243, gives a graphic description of . the ter rors of Greek fire : "It happened one night (hat the Turks" brought up an en gine that they called the perriere (stone thrower),' a terrible engine of - destruc tion, and placed it in front of some cat castles (chaz chateil that AL Gaultier de . Curel . and I were . guarding - that night, and from this engine they threw Greek fire at us in great quantities (a plante). It was the most horrible thing that ever I saw. When the good knight, M. Gaultier, my comrade, saw the fire, he cried out and said to us: 'Seigneurs, wo are lost forever without' remedy, for if they set fire' to oar cat castles we shall be consumed and burned, and if we leave our post we shall be disgraced, and soil conclude that there is no one who can defend us from this peril ex $ypt God, our blessed Creator. Order all our men, every time . the enemy throws the Greek fire, to throw themselves on their hands and knees and cry, "Thanks to our Lordyin whom is all powerl' ' And whenever the Turks fired the first shot we threw ourselves ' thus on our hands and knees, as our commander had ordered. The nature of Greek fire was Such that it advanced toward us as big as a tun, and its tail extended a yard in length (une demye-canne dequatrepans). It made such a noise in coming that it seemed as though it were a thunderbolt falling from heaven and appeared to me like a great dragon flying in the air. It threw out such brilliant light that it was as clear as daylight in our host, so great was its flame of fire. Three times that night they threw this Greek fire at ns from the aforesaid perriere and four times from the great crossbow (arbelesre a tour), and every time our good King St. Louis heard that they were throwing the fire at ns in this manner he cast himself upon the ground, and stretch' ing out his hands, with his face uprais ed to heaven, he cried in a loud voice to our Lord and exclaimed as he shed great tears, j 'Beau Sire Dieu Jesus Christ, hgarde moy et tonte ma gent. ' " ("His- toire de St Louis," Petitot, volume 2, page 235.) , , The: cat castles mentioned by Joinville were wooden towers used in sieges, and the word canne is a French measure of length equivalent - to six feet and con sisting of eight pans of nine inches each. There was nothing novel in the mere throwing of fire. It has always been one of the usual incidents of sieges. Gentleman's Magazine. SAVED BY A CAT. How a Bashful Young Man at Last Got i Spoon. There is a man, well known in ju dicial circles, as one of the most polished and courtly of gentlemen, who tells tbe following story : He had not, in hisarly yonth, those advantages which tend to produce ease of manner. When abont 15, he waa mnch in love with a neighbor's; daugh ter, and, according to his statement, was at this time nearly 6 feet tall, un gainly, shy and with the proverbial ubiq uitous bands and feet ' One Sunday he was at dinner with his rosy cheeked sweetheart, and when the guests had been served with soup the yonth discovered tnat be had no spoon. He grew red in the face and was in an agony of mortification and dismay. If he asked for a spoon, be felt sure ev ery one would look at him; if he did not eat his soup, his hostess would be sure to remark it. What was he to do? He felt his hands growing larger and more in the way than ever, and bis feet' caused him untold emotion by absolute ly refusing to go under hia chair. Great beads of perspiration etood out on his face and trickled down like rain. The situation was becoming unendur able when a terrified cat, pursued by a small but game terrier, rushed into the room ! and sprang upon the table. The guests jumped up, and in the general confusion the embarrassed youth retain ed bis 6eat, and - turning to the servant remarked calmly, "I'll have a spoon, please." Washington Times, i The Skeleton of De Soto. The local historians of Baton Rouge. La., believe that the mortal remains of Fernando De Soto lie buried between two gigantic live oaks near the present site of Port Hudson. The books tell dif ferent tales about the death and burial of the great discoverer. Some say that be was wrapped in bis mantle and thrown into the Mississippi ; others that the remains were incased in a hollow log. j In 1853 three hunters Rigsby, Davis and Hurin were encamped near what is now Port Hudson. While kin dling a fire they found a human skele ton in a hollow log that had been lying in a drift. The bones were those of a man six feet talL In the log a helmet, a rusty sword and a large bronze crucifix -were also found, and on one of the fin gers of tho skeleton's hand a large seal ting. The discoverers of thifghastl y memento believe that the remains were those of De Soto, the discoverer of the Mississippi river.
