An Appeal to the People to Stand by the InJ1ar of the Hurt, and Two Standard, of Value Bland Write a letter in Which lie lecUre. That for Silver It I Now or Never Ton Much Delay Al lowed Already. Denver, July 13 In marked contrast with the fiery utterances In the silver con vention was the .'. !ress arlopted. The re port from the committee on resolutions was in the form of .in appeal to the people of the Unite! States asking their calm and can liil con: lerition of the facto relating to silver mining and the attempt to de monetize silver. The al Ires contains alout words. The history of the sil ver legislation of the past twenty years was reviewe 1 from a silver standpoint, and the adilre-s continues. "The enemies of bi metallismand they r.ow fairly number all those who oppose free coinage for silver alike with gold, as it was before the de monetization of silver in 1-73 o;enly de clare that they will lie content with noth ing less than the unconditional repeal of the silver purchasing clause of the Sher man law It is for that they struggle; it was to secure it that the panic was created anil free coinage in India suspended. The Charge of Conspiracy. Unconditional repeal' That means striking from the laws the last remnant of legislation that secures coinage for silver. It fixes the United States firmly in the ranks ofthes.ns'.e standard nations. It is the consummation of the conspiracy or ganized at the close of the Franco-Prussian war to destroy as money on ultimate redemption ov?-h ilf of the coined money of the w-,rM. leaving th? other one-half to bear alone the vw mountain of credit upon which the world's business is con ducted, inviting more fr "jnent panics and rendering them more destructive and en during. Remai ks on the Sherman I-aw. "The Sixer-inn law is not the work of the silver producing state. It was forced upon the country against their will. Their eorisri mt 'iem in 1 has h'-oa that of j rural states of the west and i the azricul south ami of the working masses of the whole country. Tliey have not sought to impose upon the country some new finan cial nostrum, but have asked simply for the restoration of the coinace laws as ther were from the first year of the federal con stitution until the furtive repeal of 1ST3. The Sherman law was the trick by which that restoration was defeated. It was accepted by bimetallists as a pledge that the old laws should at some future time be restored, and they now demand, not that the Sherman law be retained, but that the hostage shall be redeemed by the re-enactment in its stead of the coinage laws under which the country grew and prospered for more than three-quarters of a century." ' i Close of the Address. The charae that the bimetallists de mand that CO cents shall be made a dollar is denounced as a lie. Regarding the statement that Colorado would repudiate her debts the address says: "We of Colo rado pride ourselves upon onr commercial and financial integrity. No calamity can induce us to repudiate one dollar of an honest debt. All our assets are at the will of our creditors for their reimbursement." In closing the address says: "Hopeful of speedy delivery from the crushing burden of a financial system begotten of the greed of Great Britain's remorseless money power, and the prosperity.inseparable f rom an American system which includes the free coinage of gold and silver at the American ratio of sixteen to one. we sub to the people of the United States this statement of our cause." Delegates were chosen to the St. Louis and Chicago conventions. BLAND WRITES A LETTER. fie Say, the Time is Now for the Advocates ; of Silver. St. Loris. July 13. The Chronicle nul ILshes a lengthy letter from Congressman Richard P. Bland, the great apostle of bi metallism and and uncontrolled currency. A synopsis of the letter is as follows: "The war between gold monometa'.lists and bi metaTlists is now intensely flagrant. Men and parties as well as public journals must take the one side or the other; there is no room for trimmers or doubters. The Sherman law must go, but its expiring breath must breathe into life legislation on thelines of true bimetallism. The timid in our ranks have brought us to the expe dient of the Sherman law and now insist on further waiting, "Had we adopted the free coinage bill that I had passed through the house of representatives in the last session of the Forty-fourth congress all would have been settled in favor of bimetallism. Had the senate agreed to this bill or the subsequent one that I had passed in the Forty-fifth congress, " we would have no silver ques tion today. But no, we must wait; wait till France and the Latin Union get im patient with us and put further limits to their silver coinage. During last congress I did all I could to pass a free coinage bill in the house, the senate having already passed it. But no, the tariff was the great issue. We must first reform the tariff. "Now the tariff is brushed aside that silver demonetization may be accom plished. Had we then passed a free coin age bill the question would have been settled. We would not have been con fronted with the British demonetizing policy for India. How much longer are we to lie controlled by the advocates of the waiting policy, dallying. We are now by this brought face to face with the onstinn Latest U. S. Gov't Report. ot total silvtr demonetization in this the greatest metallic power tne world ever knew. The repeal cf the Sherman law unconditionally is all that is necessary now to accoLiplish the end for which the gold party have struggled from the begin ning. "1 lie Denn critic party promised first of all a reform -.f the tariff. Tariff reform is no longer taled of, except in bated breath. The east proposes to formulate a tariff pol icy on the li les of the original Chicago platform bro i$ut forward by the protec tion element of the Democratic party, and not in hanaoay with the substitute finally adopted by the convention. They r.ow also projtose to re:s?al the Shermaa law without granting the free coinage part of our plat form. The fc.st rode the ltepublican party down to disaster and death; now they are bestride the r ecks of the Democrats. The east seem to haw no use for the govern ment especif lly the west and southwest portion of it except towring the last drop of sweat and Mood from the people. "Our eastern friends seem to rezard the Democratic p at form and the silver ques tion as a mere see saw. As the Sherm.n law end goes down the free coinage end must go up ii mid air and remain sus pended there. It is plain to all now that they played a huge bunco game on the De mocracy of the south and west by lustily preaching ta. ff reform a measure so pop ular here but at the same time intending to sprinu tipor us after the election the sole issue of s.lver demonetization. If the representatives of the west and south are true to themr-elves and the interests of their constituents this conspiracy will net .succeed. If they are recreant the people j will hold them individually, if not collec tively, responsible for their cringing cow ' ardiee j -The repeal f the Sherman law outright j and substitute nothing for it would pre cipitate a silver panic throughout the world and ptobably cause the universal demonetization, a consummation devoutly wished by the gold party. It seems to me no true frien 1 of silver could advocate such a policy. If we ever intend the free coinage of silv r in this country we must war for it now right cow." THE C0N3RESS CF LITERATI.

I Lancaster, Pju, July 13.-Tbe most sensational funeral ever held in this coun ty, if not in the st ite.was that of Daniel S. Kreider, wife and four children, who were murdered at ,Caulo, N. D., by Albert Bamberger. The bodies were laid side by side in Kisser's Xenonite meeting house in Mount Joy township, and as early as 6 o'clock in themming when the doors were opened a steady stream of people poured into the building to get a look at the murdered peoj le. Even at 4 a. m. the roads leading to t,he church were filled with vehicles which by the time an nounced for the services filled every avail able space witb.it half a mile of the church. Is is estimated that there were 3,000 car riages and 15,000 persons present. Owing to the crowd services were held both In and outside the c lurch. The jam to get into the building to see the victims was so great that many jromen fainted. Those who got among the crowd were forced in by the pressure, and the only way of exit was through a window. The bodies were laid side by side in one grave, fourteen feet long and seven and one-half feet wide. Earthquake at Albuquerque. ALBCQ.cerq.ce, N M-, July 13.-Two dis tinct earthquake i hocks were felt here.

THE GRAND JUST AT MILWAUKEE, Judge Jenkins. Seventh Judical Circuit, Greahatn't Successor, In the Plankinton Dank Dragnet Scooped Because He ITai Director and Vnder SIS, 000 Rond Nobody Get, Away Who Was Connected With the Rank. Milwaukee, July 13 All the directors of the Plankinton bank, which failed soma weeks ago as the result of the suspension of Frank A. Lappen & Co., whose worth less paper the bank held to the extent of 1290,000, and the heavy run and lass of con fidence which resulted, have been indicted by the grand jury. Among these direct ors was Judge Jenkins, of the Seventh United States judicial circuit. The in dictment of Judge Jenkins is the most sensational part of the grand jury's work. There is a difference of opinion among lawyers as to what effect the indictment will have ou his position on the bench. Some maintain that a judge is as liable to indictment as any other man and that it will make no difference to him as a United States circuit judge Others say that while he appears as a criminal before the bar of the municipal court he can hardly sit on the bench of the United States court and that he should resign. The 9ndge Wa First to Appear. All the papers necessary for the arrest of the indicted men wore promptly made out, and Deputy Sheriff Lacey started out to look them up. The first of the indicted men to appear was United States Circuit Judge James G. Jenkins. He was shown into Judge Walaber's private office, in company with Frank G. Uigelow, who will be one of his bondsmen. Judge Jenkins did not appear to ! particularly disturled by his unpleasant pit-dicaruent, and pre served his usual grave demeanor. Next came Eugene S. Elliott, another director, who was accompanied by C. L. Clason. Mr. Elliott declined to talk about the sit uation but preserved his usual cheerful demeanor. Mr. Clason was also a director of the bank. Flankinton Shows Cp on Time. William Plankinton, a director and the receiver of the defunct bank, was the fourth of the indicted men to come. The officers of the bank were: President, Frederick T. Day; vice president, William Plankinton; cashier, W. H. Momsen; as sistant cashier, Joseph Moody; Directors F. T. Day, William Plankinton, F. W. Noyes, Judge James G. Jenkins, Eugene S. Elliott, and W. H. Momsen. F. W. Noyes, one of the directors who is also in dicted, is sick at home, but will appear in court as soon as he is able. Judge Wall be r fixed bail at $3,000 on each count, which makes the lail $15,000 each. What the Indictments Charge. The indictments charge the receiving of money when it was known the bank was insolvent and specifying the three dates, May 15, lt and 31. In each of these cases the officers and all directors are concerned, and in addition to this Messrs. Day, Plank inton and Momsen are charged with the same offense as officials of the bank. Tv e The arrests were a mere formality ard Judge Wallber directed the deputy shei it to allow all privileges with reference to tl.e procuring of bail. Heavy Penalty for the Offense. The penalty for the offense charged is from one to ten years ia prison, or not more than a fine of S10,0"0. It is not known at present where Lappen is. Until recent ly he had been living quietly on the north side in Chicago, but rumor has it that he is not there now. Day i-. in a sanitarium in Indiana, and an officer with a capias will probably start after him at once. JUDGE LYNCH AND HIS WORK. The Pretty "Advanced Civilization Job He Proposed in Dakota. Devil's Lake, N. D., July 13. Sheriff Fadden, of Grand Forks, wired Sheriff Mc Cune, of Cando, as follows: "Come and take Bamberger. People are getting ex cited, and I cannot protect the prisoner much longer." And this is how Cando people propose to keep up to date" in (Texas) civilization: The plan was to put the prisoner in the house in which he committed the crime, saturate it with kerosene and let him slowly burn to death. But the sheriff thought better of it. He whisked the prisoner off to Crookston and finding that a lynching party was only an hour behind smuggled him out of that place, and has probably taken hini to Bis marck. Lynching in Florida. Jacksonville, Fla.. July 13. An Ocala special to the Times Union says that a ne gro named Robert Larkin was lynched by the citixens of Citra and vicinity for rav ishing Miss Fannie Alexander last Mon day.
