Congressmen Will Ignore Silver
When Thev Once (Jet In.
New York, Sept 20. A special to
the World from Pittsburg says:
Senator Calvin S. Price was interviewed
at the Union depot last night as ha pass
si through on Lis wjj to New York from
the Olkio convention. Referring to his
Ohio experience, he said:
"The insertion of the free silver plank
in the platform of the Ohio state conven
tion doii unt tie my hands.
"I do not wish to be construed as say
ing: that the platform does not commit
the law-makers of t le tate who may be
elected under its provisions. I am only
speaking- for mysilf. The convention
adopted a st of resolutions, one of which
favored frei! silver.
"A majority of the people might unan
imously say that they favored religion,
but that expression might commit one
man to Mohammed. inism, while another
might have.a tendency towards being a
Baptist. So it is with the free silver plan
of the convention. The vote by which it
was parsed, a propcrtion of about five to
three, shows how tne peaple over there
feel at out it.
"When we say 'free silver,' we may
mean a variety or things. There was
the free silver law that we had up to
17;J. Then there was the Bland law,
which continued in operation after a
lapse of years until 1890. Then we had
the Sherman law. which existed from
that time until lt&3. There is a free
silver coinage which allows a man to
take the metal to tie mint and receive
his dollars therefor, leas the amount for
eig uiora ye.
"Another silver law allowed a man to
deposit go.d or silver with the govern
ment and receiv-j in return a sort
of . arehiL3e rima-ipt for it Still a
third law jave a man cirtilieates for the
metal. So, you see that free silver may
mean any one of several systetns, none
of which is specified by the resolution of
the Ohio I emoerutic convention.
"The resolution will in no way alter or
affect my attitude in tho senate. I can
d.diy believe that if two-thirds of
the house and senate were elected
on silver platforms, so called, it
would not affect the country at
all, save to cteaw an apprehension
on the part of the people as to what
would be the result of their legislation.
1 am in favor of free silver under cer'ain
conditions, but there is a kind of free sil
ver which if continued in operation will
bankrupt a nation in time."

Only Keeently lias It Been Quieted Over
Andre's Monument.
New York, Sept. 21. After having
been blown up with dynamite on two oc
casions the monument erected to the
memory of Major "John Andre b- Cyrus
W. .Field in 13o.", at Tap pan, New York,
is nbw safe fro n molestation. Ever
since the surrender of Cornwallis certain
residents of the' vjage of Tappan have
continued .to light over tho old battle
fields and en;rp in new ones.
Cyrus W. Fieid was not aware of the
survival of revolutionary sentiment
.among the residents of the Hudson river
v hills when he erected tho granite blck
o commemorate tae execution of Andre,
but wnen it was dnamitel from the pe
destal two weeks after it h'ad been
placed in pysitioi , he guessed the rid
dle. Tha monument, was again erected
and a wicked looking fence with,
sharp ir.n spikos placed around it,
but l lie llery patriots surmounted this
obstacle and the stone was agaTu dis
mantled within a fortnight. From that
time until last Monday night The mists
and fogs of An iro Hill searched in vain
for the peak of the monument which was
hidden from view in the rank grass and
weeds. RaeenUy there was a formal
declaration of peace at Tappan, and to
day the villagers themselves raised tho
big stone to its pedestal.

A TALK WITH TILLMAN.
Great Many Kind of
Animals
Now
Labeled. "Democrat"
Me Says.
Charleston, S. G, Sept. 21. Governor
Tillman said today to an interviewer that
he did not regard Grover Cleveland as a
Democrat.
"Upon what grounds do you hold Mr.
Cleveland ia not a Democrat?" was asked.
"The appoiutment of a Republican to
the higheit position in his cabinet, Lis
joining forces with John Sherman and
the Republicans against a majority of
his party in the deinontization of silver;
his veto of the seigniorage bill in face of
the Chicago platform and hia debauch
ing the house of representatives and tae
senate by tho use of patronage in carry
ing out his anti-silver policy. These are
my reasons for charging him with being
more of a Republican than a Democrat."
"What do you hope to do for silver if
you get in the senaie?"
"One man can. do very little, as it takes
forty-five votes to pass any bill,
there. One thing is very certain, I will
never be found voting with Mr. Cleve
land or with any of his gold bug tools.
He, however, is himself a tool of the
gold'oug."
"Will you affiliate with ths Demo
crats?" - -
"Of course I will, with the decent,
hone3t ones, who sta:id by the' party plat
form as interpreted by sensible, honest
men, and not by knaves and charlatans;
but I expect to vote with absolute inde
pendence, always looking to the best in
terests of the masses of the people.
"Tne label Democrat is worn by a
great many kinds of animals just now
a regular menagerie in fact. Democracy
in .New England and the middle fetates
means a sinirle gold standard Had a high
protective tariff as far as the party policy
goes. Democracy in the south meant,
heretofore, a 6olid white front against
the efforts of the Republican party to
overthrow our civilization by the negro;
the free coinage of silver and as low
tariff, except on rice, iron, coal and lum
ber, as we could get. The fundamental
principles of Jeileraon local self gov
ernment and equal rights to all with spe
cial privileges to none are perhaps
equally dear to all sections of the party,
but it appears to me as inovitable that
the creditor and manufacturing section
north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers
and east of the Mississippi, which
now control and dominate, must
be confronted in the future by
a solid phalanx of the rest of
the union with Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan and Wisconsin as debatable
crouuA The south und west are the
debtor and producing mates. Their peo
ple are now the hewers of wood and
drawers of water for tho north and the
east. They can throw off the yoke
whenever they sink all the iss.ies result
ing from the war in the one grand pur
pose to restore this country to the ruie of
the people and under the banner which
Jefferson threw to the breeze in 18J1,
and which Jackson carried to victory in
129. The issues now confronting us are
identical with those which wrought such
revolution at the periods named."
"What about the dispensary law?"
"It is stronger to lay with the people
than it lias ever boen. l;ie memoers
nominated for the next legislature are
thoroughly committed to it and tiiey wiil
adopt amendments calculated to rigidly
euforce it and make it a permanent tiling
in the state. The decision of the su
preme court will remove all doubt as to'
its constitutionality. Certainly the dis
pensary law is a permanency. Public
opinion will enforce the law when it is
thoroughly under way, and it iv now as
much a fixed fact as tae free tchool. We
shall never return to the old ni9thod- In
stead. I expect other states to adopt the
dispensary system."'

LIVE STOCK IX COURT.
Chickens, Ptg and White Horsa In Police
Court This Morning:.
Police court opned bright and smiling
after the rain of last night.
Clark Gill and John Griffin are two
young men who are very much interested
in the races at the fair grounds so much
so, in fact that they becamtt involved in a
lively setto yesterday afternoon over the
merits of one of the animals. Officers
Steele and Dagg were on the scene and
brought the boys to the station. They
pleaded guilty this morning and were
fined $5 each, which they couldn't pay
and are now in the employ of the city.
Miss Hazel Delissa and Miss Mary
Thompson were entertaining themselves
with a "white hoss" supper on Smoky
Row last evening and had become too
funny altogether for the dignity of the
community so they were arrested. There
wera broad smiles on their faces when
they appeared in court this morning and
pleaded guilty to the usual charge.
Their tines were placed at live dollars.
Mary- raised the necessary amount and
was released but Uazel still languishes
in. the jail."
-Miss Minnie Sanders was also on a whiz
last night. Minnie had sort of over esti
mated her capacity for white horse, and
was elevating M ephistopheles, when the
police found it out. .Hinnie was soon
found in although she exerted her influ
ence to keep out and exerted more of it
to get out. The neighbors in the vicini
ty of the jail stayed awake last night to
listen to Minnie's ea-rnest if not eloquent
pleadings. Sho was in a better humor
this morning, and took her tive-days-iu-the-prisou
sentence gracefully.
After considerable argument among
the Russian settlement which was all, or
nearly all, in court this morning, tha
judge concluded that Joseph Dechant's
chickens were not guilty of trespassing
on Mr. Werner's vegetables and the case
was dismissed.
There was another live stock case,
however, that demanded more se
rious consideration. It was a family
row, in which the brotherly feel
ing that should pervade the
household even unto tne sister-in-law
was entirely disregarded. 'Andy and
Edith Reeves were there to answer to a
charge of allowing their pigs to wander
around unmolested over the bosom of
Ella Reeves' garden. There was a good
chance for argument and the judge was
compelled to quell a riot several times.
In the long run Edith was discharged
and Andy was lined one dollar which he
paid "glad it was no wuss," and the
Reeves family took their quarrel out iu
lront of tho station where they carried it
on till the polico stopped it and sent the
parties home.
Once again there was peace at police
headquarters.

to see about the fourteenth. Stewart
says he saw Lowo haul tho horse away
this morning and bury it.

PARKIIURST ON BYRNES.
Says When Crusaders Wuit lhlloirjjlil
lng They'll Get ai'hllosoplicr Not Police.
New York, Sept 21. Rev. Dr. Park
hurst last night paid his complimeuts to
Superintendent Byrnes at a meeting at
the Eighteenth Street Methodist church.
He said:
"I see that Mulberry street has mad a
tatemeut that the social evil is ineradi
cable, aud must always exist. What has
Mr. Byrnes got to do with that? It makes
me angry to the last drop of
my blood to hear them philosophize on
ethical questions. When we want phil
osophizing in Mulberry street, we will
hire a philosopher. The police are paid
to enforce the law aa it is made, not to
philosophize.
"Now, just a word about Mr. Byrnes.
There has not been much said about him,
but I think it is time t begin, and
a conviction is ripening in th'j
minds of citizens that the time
has come to say something about him.
In his letter of Sptembr 7th, Mr.
Byrnes puts the responsibility for th
disability he discovers in the police de
partment upon the shoulders of every
one except those of the superintendent.
"In other Words he puts the fault for
failures on execution everywhere ex
cept the detective department. Th fact
is, and it should be emphasized, that
Mr. Byrnes is the responsible executive
head of a department 'that has proved
intrinsically rotten.
"Two years ago Mr. Byrnes told the
reporters that my so-called crusade was
started through motives of revenue be
cause a certain policeman would not
give evidence which I aud some of my
congregation wanted him to give iu a
divorce suit. He has found out different
ly now. In his letter of September 7,
Mr, Byrnes admits all we claimed two
years ago."

after tho battle between the men who
6topped the traiu and the detectives, and
he says that the wounded engineer wa
one of the angriest men ho ever saw
"He told me," said Wright, "that tlio
battle between the supposed train
robbers and the detectives was
very queer and that ho would
never have been wounded if tho de
tectives had met the men who stepped
on the engine with well-directed ebot-i.
Prescott wa even inclined to be skepti
cal about Ihe attempted robbery aud said
that it was very strange that the detec
tives did not kill some of the would-bo
train robbers.
"Further than that he said that after ho
was shot he pointed out one man who was
stauding so'close to the engine that he
could have knocked him down with a lump
of coal if his arm hail not been rendered
useless by his wound, and shouted to the
detectives, 'Why don't you shoot that
fellow?' Then, he said, the detectives
fired several shots at the man, and he no
ticed that the gun barrels were all point
ed away above a level with the meu an'd
with the man's head."

moody or melancholy disposition. There
was no1 evidence on which to base an
assumption of suicide.
