HURRAH FOR_MR, CRISP
He Comes Out Flat Footed for
Free Silver.
IT IS DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE
He Says the United States Is Sufficiently Pow
erful to Establish Bimetallism the
World Over.
Atlanta, Novf 13.—Ex-Speaker Charles
F. Crisp spoke before a Joint session of
the senate and house of the Georgia leg
islature tonight. He had been invited to
address the legislature on the political
issues of the day, but confined himself
exclusively to the silver question, coming
out emphatically for the free coinage of
both gold and silver at the present ratio
and arguing that the United States, with
her 70,000,000 of people, was sufficiently
powerful to establish bimetallism the
world over. His speech was received
with the greatest enthusiasm.
Mr. Crisp began by stating that of
course it was understood he spoke as a
democrat. The democratic party was
born with the government, it stands for
certain principles, local self-government,
economy in public affairs, equal rights
to all and special privileges to none, for
a low tariff, "and, in my judgment,” he
said, "it has always stood for bimetallism
and upon that subject I intend to speak.
Anything short of the equality of the two
metals at the mint is nut bimetallism.”
Mr. Crisp then went into the history
of the coinage laws. In 1873, he said,
when silver was demonetized, the bul
lion value of the silver dollar was 3 cents
more than the bullion value of a gold dol
lar. The law of 1873 was passed without
the full knowledge of the people or of
their representatives. He quoted from
Thurman, Allison of Iowa, Garfield, Beck
and others to show that the full char
acter of the bill was not known; that it
was not known at the time that the bill
demonetized silver.
He followed this with an announce
ment from that day to this the majority
of the democratic party had been work
ing to rehabilitate silver. The single gold
standard was a republican measure. Ho
analyzed every vote on the silver ques
tion taken in congress since 1873, and
showed that a great majority of demo
crats had voted every time for the free
coinage of silver, except in 1893, when
the proposition to repeal the Sherman
lawr was up, and at that time It was be
cause they expected to have an oppor
tunity to vote subsequently for a sub
measure, and even then there was but
two democratic majority. The single
gold standard has nev£r met with the ap
proval of the majority of democrats of
this country, he asserted.
There was no advantage In having sil
ver as money, he said, unless it stood, up
Bn Its own feet.
He stated he did not Intend to say that
a man who favored the single gold stand
ard was not a democrat, but he did mean
to say that the majority of the demo
cratic. party had always been In favor of
the bimetallic standard.
Mr. Crisp exhibited a small piece of sil
ver bullion, which he explained could not
be used as money In any way. It could
not be used with which to purchase com
modities. but if there was a law allowing
It to be taken to a mint and coined then
everybody would want It.
He agreed that the value of a silver dol
lar should be a dollar. The way to estab
lish the commercial value of silver was
to restore it by legislation to a money
status—to rehabilitate It. Coin it at the
ratio of 16 to 1. That would re-establish
Its commercial value. (Great applause )
He illustrated by showing that when
the senate passed a free coinage bill sev
eral years ago, the bullion value of silver'
rose 23 cents an ounce In ten days In the
London market.
"Tou need not be apprehensive of any
flood of silver,” he announced, There
was no country In the world that would
ship Its silver here to exchange it for
gold. We had gained gold under the op
erations of the Bland-Alllson law and un
der the Sherman law. He believed that
the United States was sufficiently power
itul to establish a ratio between gold and
Silver. Gold, he held, was too valuable.
He claimed gold had appreciated, and
argued his claim by comparing its pur
chasing power in commodities now and
before the demonetization of silver.
“Our people should be the pioneers in
restoring a money metal which has been
■used for all time, but recently stricken
down. The stamp upon a silver dollar
does not make It more valuable In anoth
er country, but the right of the silver to
be so stamped Increased Its bullion
value.”
In speaking of the value of the qptton
he said that though the cotton crop ap
preciated 60 per cent In the decade be
fore the war, the price lncreasd 40 per
cent. Though the crop Increased up to
1878 the ifrlce also Increased, but after
1873 the price of cotton depreciated be
cause of the appreciating value of gold.
He read from the November report of
the treasury to show that there was $75,
000,000 less money in circulation now
than one year ago.
All things being equal, the price of com
modities la regulated by the amount of
money In the world. He argued against
paper money because legislative bodies
might be tempted at times to Inflate the
currency.
In speaking of the final result of the
fight for free silver he said that he re
membered when forty democrats hnd

NQBERS,
stood up in congress and voted against
tariff reforms. By their aid the republi
cans had stricken out the enacting clause
of the Morrison bill. But the democratic
party had been persistent in thfe fight and
had finally won. They had not gotten
all they wanted, but the tariff laws now
were infinitely superior to the laws of a
few years ago.
Under the present financial system
wages and labor had gone down. The
republican experiment of a single gold
standard had not worked to the benefit
of the people of this section. Let us re
turn to the bimetallism of the demociatic
fathers; look around you and you will
find in our poverty a monument of the
single gold standard..
In speaking of the next democratic na
tional convention he said Georgia shoulij
define her position on this financial ques
tion. One of the questions to be decided
was the retirement of the $500,000,000 of
paper money. If the single gold standard
is to be perpetuated that money must be
retired.
In the democratic convention he be
lieved that the views of those people who
elect a president should dictate the plat
form. He vigorously opposed the bond
policy of the administration. He believed
the treasury should have paid out silver
when the gold run was made upon it.
That would have stopped the raid. Then
England dictated the gold policy. The
United States has the power to change
now—to establish bimetallism throughout
the world. If the United States would
go forward in financial legislation as it
had gone forward in its fight for liberty
100 years ago it would render to man
kind at large a greater blessing than was
rendered when we taught them that a
people could govern themselves.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
The Japs Aie Stirring Up Troub e—The Treas
ury Is Running Behind—Hatch’s
Successor.
Honolulu, Nov. 6, via San Francisco.
Nov. 13.—(Correspondence of the United
Press per Steamer Coptle.)—The new Jap
anese consul-general, Bugen Shlmamu
rea, arrived here yesterday. He has been
consul-general at New York and Mex
ico. He says his government Is dissat
isfied with the failure of the Hawaiian
government to live up to the terms of
thb immigration treaty with Japan in
trying the Influx here of Japanese. He
is to give special attention to that sub
ject. This government has for some
time looked with much apprehension
upon the increasing predominance' in
numbers of Japanese in Hawaii over the
other nationalities, as well as upon the
relentless and facetious temper shown by
them. On this account they have stopped
the importation of Japanese contract la
borers and caused Chinese to be supplied
Instead.
On the evening of November 4 over 100
Japanese In Japanstown were engaged
In a riotous conflict. The police had to
be called out In force and they used their
clubs freely. Several Japanese were cut
with knives and sixteen were arrested.
These people had been drinking heavily
on their empeeor’s birthday. Yesterday
the men arrested appealed to Consul Shl
midzi against the rough clubbing they
received from the native policemen. The
Japanese show a tendency to antagonize
the authorities.
The Vancouver barrister, Davis, sailed
for home on November 4, taking a large
mass of testimony in the case of Cran
ston and Mueller, who claim damages for
their deportation. The evidence was very
full in showing that Cranston, Mueller
and Johnston, the three deported men,
had been very active in an effort to en
list the Morgan Scheutzen club in the
conspiracy to restore the queen. It was
also shown that the last two had no prof
itable occupation and suffered no ma
terial injury by deportation.
Finance Minister Damon's monthly re
port shows an Increase over October, 1894,
of about $50,000 in both expenditures and
receipts. The treasury balance is about
$140,000 less than last year. There are
about $60,000 more of the outstanding
dues. In view of the heavy expenses and
the expenses of business during the year
growing.out of the insurrection and chol
era the figures are considered highly fa
vorable.

II MOST HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
A Woman and Her Child Was
Murdered
THE MURDERER SUICIDES
He Had Enticed the Woman Away From Home
and Killed Her to Obtain Her
Property.
Laredo, Tex., Nov. 13.—Last Monday
evening a tall, fine looking man, accom
panied by a wuman, registered at the Ho
tel Hamilton as C. Schuler and family.
With them was a pretty girl, 8 years old.
Yesterday at Sso'clock the man hired a
buggy and took the woman and girl to
the depot, despite the inclement weather.
At 6 o’clock he returned the buggy and
ate supper at Hotel Hamilton, retiring
afterwards. Last night A. Shepherd dis
covered two bodies lying in the brush in
Chacon bottom, just beyond a small res
ervoir, two and a Half miles from Central
City. He noticed the prints of the buggyi
wheels and trails, where the bodies were
dragged along the road. He notified lle
corued Pierce what he had seen. Olticers
proceeded at once to the place and se
cured the bodies of the woman and child.
They were identified as the persons who
had gone riding with Schuler yesterday
evening. While the news of the find
was Hying over the city another chapter
in this horrible aifair was enacted at the
Hotel Hamilton. At 6 o’clock this morn
ing the proprietor of the hotel knocked at
Schuler's room and asked him where his
family wrere. He replied that he had
taken them last evening to Aztec, where
they had taken the limited train for Mex
Ion.
"I think you are mistaken," said the
proprietor, "your family is nut in Mex
ico.”
Schuler shut the door and drawing a
revolver shot himself through the heart.
On his person was found a cigar case
with over $1600 in greenbacks. The cigar
case contained the name of Sam Kuntz.
It is believed his brother is in Fort Worth
and he was at once notified of the trag
edy. Schuler stated during his stay here
that he had been master mechanic fur a
railroad. Schuler spent most of his lime
in saloons, and his actions indicated that
he was either unbalanced or meditating
the horrible murders which he commit
ted yesterday.
In the murdered woman’s trunk was
found a marriage license bearing the
names of Catherine Menn and Theo
Menn. A letter was found in the wom
an's effects dated October 4, from G. B.
Brown, a Fort Worth, Tex., merchant,
addressed to Mrs. Caroline Menn, Dallas,
Tex., the merchant requesting her to send
a check for $25. From this it is inferred
the woman had a bank account. She
stated that M>'- Chrlston, her son, kept a
hotel at Fort Worth, and it is believed
Kuntz stopped at this hotel, found out
the woman had money, enticed her here
to murder her and get her money. A tel
egram was received here today from
Fort Worth stating that Mrs. Menn’s son
had left that city to come here.
The wounds on the child's body and the
position in which It was found indicated
that she died a lingering death. She
was cut slightly on the left knee, as
though she had fallen on a sharp stone,
and the left side of her head was cut as
though by a glancelng blow of a club.
There was another wound on the top of
her head, but death had come from a
kuife wound in the neck, severing the
juglar vein and carotid arteries. The
body was found on its back, the little
arms raised as though to ward off the
murderer's blow.
Mrs. Menn, who was rather stout and
about 40 years old, was shot in the heart
and probably struck a crushing blow on
the head, breaking the skull. The fiend,
in jack the ripper style, then used his
knife, stabbing his victim once on the
front side of the shoulder, the blow rang
ing downward; once in the center of the
left breast, twice In the stomach, once in
the abdomen and once in the right side,
between the sixth and seventh ribs.
The blood-stained murderer then prob
ably killed the child to make sure no liv
ing witness of his deed could be found.
His victims were taken to Fowler’s
morgue, which was surrounded by a large
crowd of enraged citizens. When the
news of the finding of the bodies In the
gullies was made known City Marshal
Bartholemau and the night policeman
soon discovered the clue which led to ther
tragedy. As soon as they learned that
the stranger at the hotel had engaged
the buggy they went to the hotel and
ordered him awakened. In the meantime
mounted officers were searching the scene
of the murder for evidence, finding a
woman's bloody handkerchief and a der
by hat, which was recognized as one
Kuntz wore yesterday.
On his return to his room Kuntz was
bareheaded. He washed his bloody cuffs,
but the marks are still on them. An in
surance policy for $3000 in his own favor,
a deed of trust executed by Catherine
Menn on property in east St. Inuls, a pho
tograph of Kuntz and pictures of a hand
some young wdtnan and a child of 6 were
found in Kuntz's trunk, besides the let
ter addressed to William Kuntz, Kansas
City.
Kuntz was once chief engineer of the.
Helmes' brewery, Kansas City. His
name Is believed to be either William or
Samuel Kuntz. The cigar case bore the
name “Samuel." but the letters were ad
dressed to William Kuntz.

It’s the Poor Man’s Money.
A good story has just leaked out. Some
weeks ago when the Clark-Bankhead
speaking was being arranged for it was
agreed that the friends of gold would foot
half of the expenses of the opera house,
lights, etc., and the silver men would
raise the other half of the $60, or what
ever the amount was. An assessment of
$1 each was therefore levied on thirty
gold enthusiasts and thirty of the friends
of silver. As the collecting committee
started around the bimetallist proposed
to bet the drinks that there would not be
a gold dollar or a gold piece of any char
acter collected by them. The gold stand
ard advocate accepted the wager and lost.
Not a gold dollar was collected from
among the sixty men.

TEN MINUTE SPEECHES.
The Poll and School Tax Question Consid
ered by the Convention.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 13.—The constitu

sembling, passed a resolution limiting
speeches henceforth to ten minutes. The
article on education was then taken up.
The first fight came up over the matter
of striking out of the provision making
the office of the county school commis
sioner a constitutional office. This was
done. The amount of the poll and school
tax was next discussed.
The convention tonight voted down a
system proposed by Mr. F. J. Kennedy,
which provided for the pouring of all the
school funds into the state treasury, to
be distributed among the several coun
ties, irrespective of the proportionate
amount of the taxes they paid in. The
pending scheme provides for a constitu
tional 3 mills school tax, a *1 poll tax
and a supplemental school tax to make
the system feel responsive to the fluctua
tions of taxable values.

MORGAN AND PUGH
At Greensboro—Greeted by a Large and Intel

a Deep Impression.
Greensboro, Nov. 11.—(Special Corre
spondence.)—A large and Intelligent au
dience assembled at the courthouse to
day to hear Senators Pugh and Morgan
on the financial question, now pending
before the people. The court house was
crowded and the close attention paid to
the speeches of our senators was a flat
tering tribute to the speakers. They were
introduced by Hon. Charles E. Waller
and each of the speeches was over two
hours long. Their remarks were conser
vative, free from passion or prejudice,
and must have made a deep impression
upon the audience.
Colonel Bankhead also was present and
was called upon by the audience for a
speech, but declined In a few remarks on
