The Chicago Time3-Herald, a Repub lican paper, says that the resolution Icr -international bimetallism in the Republican national platform was in serted only to deceive the voters. Congressman CJrosvenor, a Republi can, said in the house that the civil service reform piank in that platform was mere foolery. Congressman Overstreet, a Republi can, who drew the currency bill, says the international bimetallism amend ment to it is mere humbug and that bimetallism can never be possible while that law stands. The Republicans have fooled most of the people for a long time. How much longer will most of the people be fool eOT THE NEW CURRENCY LAW. The second count in the indictment - of William McKinley by the American people is the new currency law. Repub lican fondness for trusts manifests itself in that law which was . forced through congress by the brute power of a majority drunk with pride. It will create a trust of trusts a banking trust, to which all other trusts must humbly bow. He who caa monopolize the money of a nation can bring other monopolists to heir knees. The Republican currency law gives control of the money of the nation to a well organized body of men of like In terests who are dominated by the handful of great bankers in the finan cial centers. These great bankers In turn are the promoters, directors or r.-anagers of the industrial trusts. The connection is complete. The monopo lists of money and the monopolists of opjwirtunity are one and the same. In thus turning over the control of the paper money to the bankers, the Republicans have found It necessary to rivet upon the nation a national debt that we were in a fair way to dis charge. A huge sum of money is to be paid for premiums on unmatured bonds so that they may be cancelled and 2 per cent, thirty-year bonds is - sued in their stead. Why extend for thirty years a debt now almost payable and which the nation amply able to pay as it matures? The Republicans tell us It Is done so as to furnish a basis for bank-note circulation. That is o say a national bank can buy J25.00O worth of these new bonds, deposit them In the treas ury and get 125.000 in bank notes to lend out. He gets 2 per cent, on his bonds and from to 10 per cent, on his notes, according to his locality and his skill as a financier. It is in order to effect this benevolent end that the national debt is to be made permanent. Now what (secures these bank notes? The professional fidelity of the nation al banker? Why, so many national bankers have proved themselves thieves and defaulters that McKinley has had to pardon 17 out of the peni tentiary to keep his standing with the fraternity. The notea are secured by the bonds; the bonds by the stability and honor of the nation. But the gov ernment has in circulation some $434, 600,000 of its own notes, secured as its bonds are by its faith and solvency. These notes the .bankers whose own notes rest ultimately on government credit declare unsafe and the admin istration has yielded to their demands and ordered their retirement, , . -The substitution of interest-bearing bonds for non-interest bearing green backs, the gift of millions to the banks t and the creation of a banking trust with power to. contract the currency at win are some of the fruits of the " I. publican currency law.

The candidate for a second term mopped his brow. "That's unfortunate," he replied, "but the cloud has a silver lining." "How BO?" "Because otherwise the government of the United States might figure con spicuously in the coming campaign." MILLIONS STOLEN BY MAIL FRAUDS TONS CP PAKE MAIL MATTER SHIPPER AND RESHIPPED OVER THE RAILROADS. Washington, March 25. The padding of mails at a time when the average weight is determined for a four years' contract between the railroads and the government is exposed in clear, con vincing form by the remarkable affi davit of B. C. Fechtlg, a former em ploye of the Colorado Midland Railway c-ompany. Letters, telegrams and photographed facsimiles show the methods by which the government is annually robbed of millions of dollars. Railriad employes are forced to assist in this robbery, though they do not share the spoils. Tons and tons of "faked" mail, Con gressional Records and franked docu ments are shipped and reshipped in United States mail sacks between points on the same road for a period of about 30 consecutive days, when the average weight is obtained and used as a basis of compensation for thp four years following. Fechtig Is now a government employe. In an affidavit now in the possession of the postmaster-general Fechtig' swears that in April. 1894. while em ployed as a station agent on the Colo rado Midland division of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe railroad he as sisted In the padding of United States mails by, direction of his superior offi cers. While stationed at New Castle, Col., he received two United States mail sacks containing Congressional Rec ords, each weighing 125 pounds. Each sack bore a tag addressed to B. C. FeChtig and the contends came through the mails as franked or free matter. Fechtig'8 affidavit reads In part: "When I received the first sack, supposed It was legitimate mall. intended to deliver It to the postmas ter on the following morning, as was my custom each day. After I had locked the mail in the baggage room, I found a letter addressed to me among the railroad business letters that ar rived on the train with the fraudulent mail. Such letters are sent in care of the baggage master of the train, and require no postage." The letter reads as follows; THE COLORADO MIDLAND RAIL- WAT COMPANY. Superintendent's Office Colorado Springs, April 26, 1894. PERSONAL. B. C. F.: There will be a mail sack full of Con gressional Record books reach you on No. 6 this p. m. Vou will, of course, understand in connection with the reweighing of mails that is at present going on as to this matter. After retaining them a dav or so retag this sack to E. A. Baty trainmaster ' at Leadville. This, of course, should be considered confiden tial and this destroyed after reading. Mr. -Baty will also send you a sack in a few days, and after holding for a day or so return to me here. Answer If understood. As you have Colorado Midland cipher code No. 4. use this in rtnlv. B. H.

A letter to: Fechtlg, dated Colorado Soring. May 14, reads: 90S tomorrow will have 2 or S sacks mail addressed to you. Please send them to Mr. Bryant, at Colorado Springs, on 906 the 16th. I 13.

Bry ant, general superintendent of the Col orado Midland. In May, 1896, Mr. Fechtig was in the mploy of the Southern Railway com pany as stenography in the superin tendent's office at Covmbia, S. C, Two p-ks liter the newspapers were filled with accounts of the padding of mails of the Seaboard Air Line. It was open ly charged that 300 sacks of mail had passed over that line. Mr. Fechtlg says: "I then learned through' several men who were In the United States mall service and through aa official of the Southern Railway company, that that company had been "engaged in the pad ding of mails on a large scale In March. 1896. From what the mail ser vice men told me I am satisfied that the frauds existed on a number of railroads in the east and south, . "From what I know of the mall rev enues of the Southern - Railway com pany I am satisfied that the fraud Is carried on in a gigantic way, and that the government is annually defrauded of from 25.000.000 to 210,000,000 by the railroads of the United States.

"The best attendance at Orange school for the sixth month," says Su perintendent J. D. Eggleston. Jr., in his monthly report, "was made by the 4th grade, with 97 per cent; at Montford by the 6th grade with 96; at Bailey by the 2d grade with 97; at West End bj the 2d grade, which leads all the schools with 99 per cent and no tardies The 3d and 4th grades of West End have 98 per cent. . "At Catholic Hill school the grade under ProfessorLipscombe leads with 93 per cent, and the first B and first A grades have no tardies. "The work of the schools has been very much hampered by the entirely unnecessary flurry about smallpox and vaccination. Many of the children at West End and Catholic Hill schools were taken out by the parents to pre vent their being vaccinated. Many of these have not yet returned, and I am informed by the principals that they have not been vaccinated. "I believe that the schools have lost two weeks of valuable work by this, and In order to protect our schools from Interruptions in the future I shall ask the school committee at Its next meeting to request the board of aldermen to pass an ordinance for bidding any pupil from entering school who does not bring a certificate of vaccination. The fact still remains, however, that there are children in our city anxious to attend school, but who cannot do bo because their parents do not wish them to be vaccinated and the school authorities are forbidden to permit them to attend unless they ar vaccinated."
