What was -known as the guerilla warfare on the border was more exact ins than the Mosaic law. The former's banner was a black flag and the motto, carried out to the letter, was "A scalp for a scalp." l.ong- after the concilia' J tion and the kiss of peace between the blue and gray, more than a quarter of a century ago, it was considered ansafo on the Missouri-Kansas border for the the survivor, guerilla or javhawker, to even forgive the dead , that had been engaged in the strife, says the Chicago Cbrooicle. There are now few left of either band of that no-quarter organi zation, one side of which was captained by - Jennison, Lane and j. Ransom of Kansas and Penlck of Missouri, and the other led by Quaotrell, Anderson, the Younger brothers and the James boys.. All but one of tne 'list that abused the blue are dead. Three of the latter that rode in any unform, but who were Confederates at heart always, are living. , The Younger brothers, Coleman and James, are serving a lite term in the Minnesota penitentiary for murder . growing, out of a. bank rob bery.. r Frank James is a free man.

He crossed into Missouri and was a good soldier tinder the leadership of Price, who was a man of probity as well as courage, and who was idolized by the southern sympathizers' of - Missouri. Quantrell was with Price 'at Lexington, and followed him in his retreat to Osage. , He had also been at Carthage and Wilson's Creek. Price said he was th handsomest man ( be ever saw in the saddle. When the idol of the Missouri Confederacy reached the borderi of Arkansas every man's time had expired. That is every man was at liberty to go and enlist! In the trans. Missouri department or turn back. Up to that time not one of Price's soldier's owed an allegiance to the Confederacy of Davis. When the alternative was presented to Quantrell, he said he would return to Missouri. He told bis old com mander this: "I have some matters there to settle, and in doing so I can be of more service to you than I can be here." - Price knew him and knew what he meant. He parted with him after this conference, and as Quantrell rode away eight men followed iiru. . Every one of these eight men was well mounted erfd armed, and each one of them had a personal account on bis hands. . One of them was Coleman . Younger. He bad the nark of the rope of a jay- hawker on his neck. . In less than sixty days these eight men came . upon camp of militia near Indepenence, Mo., and Cole Younger there killed his first man and made a notch in the handle of his pistol. .. It 'seemed to whet his appetite. , This same man, sixty days later, at Che hefid af a command given him by Quaottell, - dashed Into Independence and t err i lied it,' and drove out some soldier. There were some women in that country who glorified in the Con federate cause, and wbo aided in many wava worthy of a higher purpose. One of these women was supposed to know the ambuscade of Coleman Younger. A iayhawker commander arrested her, and ordered his men to fall in behind. The woman was put in the lead ; be. bind ber were the raised carbines of the jayhawkers. - They were to shoot her if she attempted to escape. - She was to lead them to Younger's camp, She never faltered. When she came to the ambush Younger saw the situa tion and withdrew for a parley. Within forty minutes a man rode out of the wood with a white handkerchief tied to a hazel switch. The jayhawker com mander, supposing the messenges was the bearer of a proposal to surrender, received him. The messenger handed him a note written with a pencil and on brown paper. It was not what the Jayhawker expected. The reading of this note thirty-three years later will not embitter the most loyal man. Here ia a copy: - "We make no war upon women. e whose names are hereunto annexed re spectfully ask of Colonel Peabody, the commander, the privilege of fighting eight of his best men, band to hand, and that he make the selection.1 The first signature to this challenge was Coleman Younger. The jayhawk ers laughed and sent the message back. The next uay the jayhawker removed the woman from her place of danger, and there was a fight. It was unequal, but both sides quit satisfied and rode away in opposite directions. Independence, Mo., continued to be a base of operations for the jayhawker9. It was always necessary for the guer rilla to know the situation there. An old woman rode into the town with a basket of garden truck on her saddle and went ti sticking among the soldiers. She sold out her stock and mounted to return. As she went riding out a jay hawker called her baek. That was sus picious. The old woman pulled up her dress, drew a pistol from her, boot??, fired and killed the Jawbawi.or." ' spurs to her honsv.. drinking when some of the church bells were clanging the tidings. A company of strangers went iota the saloon and , joined in the game and ordered drinks as fast as tbey could be served. The ;strangers left the table, went to the bar, ordered another round to the tables. As the players drained their glasses there was a flash and a report, and another and another and some shrieks and moans and hurrying of feet. The men who had ordered the last round disappeared and tode away. The drifting snows coV- ered their course. The alarm was given and when the soldiers' from quarters went into the saloon tbey found their Comrades dead, with their cards still in their hsnds. The face of one of the dead men was cut with splinters of the glass fro.n which !he had drunk his draughfcof death. . The man who planned this Christ mas surprise and wbo had -carried it into execution was Cole Younger. ' It was his way of celebrating Christmas TREASURER STEPHENS. His Views on the President's Message He Felt Like Hurrahing for Cleveland When He Read It, From the St. Paul Globe., When asked for bis views upon the prospeets of war. State Treasurer Stephens said: When I read Mr. Cleveland's last message I felt like beating the ground with my bat and barrabiog for "Grover Cleveland and the United States of America." haven't been lor. some years feeling very kindly to England, anyhow, be cause of her meddling with the finances of our country." In my judgment there will be no war, but there ia one thing certain, Americans are ready for it and are not apprehensive as to the result of it. England is tyrannical and doml. aeering in dealing with weak nations, bat as soon as she sees we mean busi ness and admit of no farther trifling, she will, yield to our- demands. Th Anglo-Saxon races will net go to war with each other over the Venezuelan issue. It is not of sufficient import ance to justify it.. England has everj- thing to lose in a war ttt this time, be cause, while eudeavoring to protect her supposed claims in South America, Russia would join hands with America or would take advantage of the op portunity to make a sneak on India; Fraace would gobble up Egypt, Ger many, Africa, and during the fun Ire land would possibly give ber more or less trouble, and when the smoke of battle was cleared away it would be found that we had swallowed up Can a da. Mr. Cleveland's message thrilled me With the old time admiration I had for him. He has vitalized the Monroe doctrine as it has not been since its promulgation. It has ia it the true American ring, and has put into our blood, north, east, south and west, the fire of battlo. There are no republi cans, democrats or populists new in this country we are all Americans. And we pledge our lives, our fortunes and our honor to maintain the doctrine as sacred to us as our constitution. I think in due course of time the matter will be arbitrated and amicably settled without the honor of either country being hurt, and in the march of civili zation the two great nations will keep abreast. " 'Now it President Cleveland will only refuae to further supinely submit to the dictations of England in our financial matters and will allow us to maintain a distinctively American financial policy if he will show as much patriotism in returning to the financial policy of Jackson as be has in returning to the doctrine of Monroe then I will be sorry for the ugly things I have thought about him, and America will go on conquering aud to conquer." - .

What does "sound currency" meanf It means nothing but our old familiar national bank noe. They are to be nominally redeemable in gold ; and, like all tbe rest of tbe bank notes, will be redeemable w beta tiobody wain ibem redeemed and will nut be redeemable when redemption is. demanded. , J,ook at the history of thin "sound currency. " It came into existence nt a tliscoui t of sixty per cent, below gold. It ptayed at a discount for the first fourteen, years. Whenever during the lime tha( it has existed we have had a panic its redemption has been suspended. In the artificial panic of three years ago the entire lot of "sound currency" shops in the great cities of the east suspended payments in their boasted "sound cur rency." Hot only so, but at this very time when they are conspiring with tbe foreign enemies of this government, tbe partners of European banking houses, the Ikelheimers and I.ader btirga and the Kotbschilds and Bleich roeders, to force this governent to issue bonds that ought not to be issueu so that they can upon the in get lucre "sound currency" fruiu tbe?overnmnt. The "sound currency" r a condition of suspensio they do not call it suspend" call it "issuing clearing bouse -cates." It is done this wsy: The ' "sound currency',' banks find that they cannot meet the demands made on them.: Tbey are about out of silver, gold, greenbacks and "sound"' potes. So each one takes ont some of the'notei 1 of its customers to whom it baa money and deposits these notes ami the mortgages or collaterals lelt tt secure them, and "puts - them up the clearing house and, tbe cli house tssnej 'to such! bank a clearing house certificates."

Here is a samplo of the way it works : Mr. A. has paid bis part of the taxes and tarriff -duties that must be paid on the bonds that must be issued in order that we may have "sound currency" No. 1. Tbe notes thus created by bis taxes are kindly let to h!m by the bank. He leaves his n!e and collaterals.
