In a Nutshell.
Let us all be thankful that the finan
cial question ' has at last been finally
settled. ':'..
It is so easy that anybody might have
done it.
All that la needed is that the govern
ment of the United States shall agree to
pay $1.29 to any one who will bring it
60 cents' worth of Bilver.
If this is done, our financial troubles
will immediately disappear. Prices will
advance. Wages will go up. Everybody
will have plenty of money. We shall
have at once the only perfect financial
monetary system known in history. .

HE BACKED DOWN.
An individual wearing the livery of
the Salvation Army was jailed last night,
having been arrested on complaint of a
man in this ' city whose daughter he
blackmailed. The blackmail consisted
in the young man bragging about being
possessed of a letter from the girl con
taining lewd remarks. The father hear
ing of it, sought the young man and de
manded the letter but he could not pro
duce it, and afterward admitted that the
letter contained nothing but what was
proper. . The young - man who was
so intent upon 'casting stones at the
character of defenseless women, is one
of those who has been loudest in gospel
shouting and psalm singing on the
streets. .The girl is an older sister of
the one who was the victim in the Lane
case the other day, and the father is the
same parent who is endeavoring to pie
serve the honor of his family at the cost
of the public exposure it entails. He is
entitled to the widest praise for. his val
iant efforts, and shows the best of judg
ment in summoning the law to his aid.
A blackmailer becomes exposed in all
bis hideous villainy if the proposed vic
tim refuses to temporize; but, taking
the opposite course, endeavors to un
mask him. This is the second trouble
of this kind that has come to light with
in a few days, the last more glaring than
the first because of the chief actor being
so prominent in Salvation Army work. ,'
These-are unquestionably some noble
men and women in this city who are
working in that' cause, but it is well
known that the "barracks"- here are
frequented by some of tbe worst toughs
of the city of both sexes, who attend for
ether purposes than to hear the gospel
of the lowly Nazarene. Because of these
evil associations innocent girlhood, led
there first by curiosity, is in danger of
being contaminated and led astray,
thereby doing the cause of Christianity
more harm than good, for it is easier to
maintain virtue than to reclaim it when
once lost. The evil may go on In the
rear of tbe room while the tambourine
and hymn music is offered to the throne
of srace.
- The recorder released the young man
after giving him a lecture something on
the lines above indicated.
A, Great Mlsapprenenslon.
We are informed by a party who ought
to know thai the paper circulated by
Mr. J. B. Croseen the list for the for
mation ot a Bryan club waa represented
by that gentleman to be a petition for
his appointment as register of the land
office, pending the inauguration of Will
iam Jaybrian. - Mr. Crossen has a great
many friends in all the parties, but this
is a subterfuge, if our informant's re'
marks are correct, of which we frankly
say we could not believe him guilty.
There are some 200 members of this
supposed Bryan club, and if tbe least
inkling of the deception had been known
we fancy tbe club could not boast of a
corporal's guard. It is unfortunate for
our friends, the enemy, that they must
resort to such a scheme to obtain sig-
natures. O temvoralrO more!
Who Is Hobart Serving?
When y ou mant to buy
Whenever Mr. Hobart has been asked
to do anything for the D. P. & A. N. Co.
he has always puckered up his lips and
ejaculated shortly: ''Can't be done."
The company wanted to use a cable at
the incline. "Can't be done," said Ho
bart. "Must have a stationary engine."
The boat company ignored Hobart and
put in tbe cable. Hobart gets $100
a month for hindering the operation of
the portage by' every means in his
power. Ihe money that pays his salary
comes supposably from earnings made
by the portage taken in as fares or
freights by the boat company, yet he is
only studious as to how be can thwart
their interests and block their business.
On the contrary, whenever the portage
can be made to serve the Day Bros, it is
so used, and the fact is very' noticeable
that he is tearing up the track just slow
enough to be handy for use by the Day
Bros, who are laying a ' track parallel
with it on their own ground. It should
be ascertained before long which master
Hobart is serving and action taken ac
cordingly. -'
McKinley Clan Tonight. .

times is contingent upon the - election of
Major McKinley to the White House

great principles of protection and sound

good news go out that there, is no
