pense. Now the lodges have resolved
to go further. They will erect a monu
ment over the dead man's grave in the

respect for the dead.

Evnn It. Jones statement.
Editor of the Tribune:
Sir: With reference to the nsasult
and battery case against Victor M.
Williams, In which I waa prosecutor,
1 would like to make the following
statement: I did not meet Mr. Wil
liams at the Washburn air shaft by
appointment, nor did I know at the
time that he was engaged to marry
my daughter. The meeting at the air
shaft was accidental, and Williams re
quested me to give some letters to my
daughter. I refused to carry them and
told him to send them through the
malls If he was very anxious to have
them delivered. He tried to force the
letters Into my pocket, and when I ob
jected he hit me. For that I had him
arrested. EVAN R. JONES.
Seranton, Pa., Oct. 19, 1896.
Card from Fredrick Mink.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A paragraph appeared In The
Tribune of Wednesday, Oct. 14, setting
forth that the Anthracite Social club
of the South Side would run an enter
tainment and ball for my benefit at
Music hall on Tuesday, Oct. 20. Some
of the members saw fit to deny that
statement, and that I belonged to the
club. I wish to say that I have been
a member much longer than those who
took the trouble of making the denial.
While It Is not a direct benefit to me
now, the social event Is for the pur
pose of replenishing the treasury of the
club on account of benefits paid to me
when I was slcltt Frederlt k Mink.

Sumter had been fired upon. Respect
them. Whenever you meet one of these
take him by the hand and make- him
your friend. He Is a man worth know
ing. "I am one of those who believe that
happiness begins at the bottom of the
body politic; that when the common
people are prosperous and contented
the county at large must be likewise
so. If I believed that the free and un
limited coinage of silver would effect
this I would vote for It. I believe In
voting for that thing which will bring
the most happiness to the bulk of the
American people. I am a lawyer and
1 am just so prosperous as Is the com
munity In which I live. I share and
will in the future share in the general
prosperity of all.
"The American people in this cam
paign are called upon to settle a most
Important question. No one has thor
oughly mastered even Its A B Cs. It is
the most Important question ever sub
mitted to the people. Three men forced
this issure on the American people.
One of them, whose name Is never
spoken anywhere except without deri
sion outside of his own state, is Gov
ernor Altgeld, the arch-conspirator of
free silverism; the man whose poten
tiality swayed and ruled the Chicago
convention. Another Is that black
guard from South Carolina. The third
is W. J. Bryan.
"If you had saved $500 would you go
to a tramp stealing a ride on a freight
train and ask him how you would in
vest it, or would you go to some pros
perous friend and find out from him
how you would use thnt money to the
best advantage? In this campaign you
are asked by the Ponocrats to follow
Altgeld, Tillman, and Bryan and desert
the lendershlp and teachings of Lincoln,
Garfield. Blaine, Harrison, Sherman,
Reed, Cleveland, Carlisle and Whitney.
THAT CRIME OF 1S73.
"The silverltes started out with the
statement that there was a crime com
mitted In 1S73 against silver. They
evidently did not know that prior to
1873 there was only 580.000,000 In silver
coined In the United States and slnco
then fifty times as much has been
coined. Next they tell us that they
propose to take fifty cents worth of sil
ver and by stamping It $1. make it
worth one hundred cents. You might
take one of those long-whiskered silver
shunters from the South, strip him of
his clothes and stamp him nil over with
the slcrn "Daniel Webster" but you
wouldn't make a United States senator
out of him. Or you might cut off his
usually luxuriant whiskers and label
them "hay" but you wouldn't find a
donkey In this country ass enough to
eat them.
"They sny since the demonetization of
silver prices have gone down. They
say, when there nre no farmers around
to dispute their statements, that wheat
has steadily declined, since this so
called crime of 1X73. This is one of the
occasions when you are justified in
calling 'a man a liar.' It Is the only
answer to that proposition. They know
they are telling you a falsehood, but
they must keep on telling It for on that
their whole argument Is based prices
go down when silver declines. If this
fs so how do they explain thit within
the last four weeks wheat has gone up
1" cents a bushel and silver has de
clined four cents an ounce.. This thing
ought to be placed in tho think-tank
of every man in this country. It de
molishes the free silveite premises; It
leaves them nothing to stand on.
"They say again that the govern
ment will take 412',i grains of silver
which you shall bring to the mints and
stamp It $1. Then you can take this
dollar which cost you only 4914 cents,
the present Intrinsic value of a silver
dollar, and pay off your debts and
mortgages. Any of you got any silver
bullion? If not where are you going to
get It? There are only 30,000 people
In all these United States who are In
terested in silver mining. I do not
think they will distribute the products
of their mines among the other 70.UU0,
000 people.
"All this about the advantage that
free silver Is going to be to the work
ingmen is all talk. This is a false Is
sue. It was put before the American
people to make them forget the past
four years. Had they gone before the
people with tliflr issues of 1S92 they
would be buried so deep that the trum
pet on resurrection day would not raise
them.
"The matter with this country Is not
the crime of '73 but the crime of '3. I
don't know whether or not vou are
mining as much coal ns in 1892. I do
know, however, thnt the people down
our way are not burning ns much of
your coal as they did in 1S92. When I
left my town recently I saw ten men
on the liver bank catehinnr driftwood.
They told me they were gathering their
winter stock of coal. And these men
at one time could afford to buy their
fuel and buy it In plenty.
WANT HAS FOLLOWED.
"You do not know here what suffering
has followed In the wake of this crime
of '93. Y'ou have not seen the soup
hounses in the Kensington district of
Philadelphia, where strong und nt one
time quite prosperous workmen nre to
be seen dally going with their polls to
get enough food to keep the wife and
little ones from starving. The loss of
wages alone In my town of 30,000 in
habitants is $200,000 per month. The
removal of the duty from "shoddy" has
caused the shutting down of every
manufactory of cheap cotton goods in
that part of the country. Those mills
will stay shut down until this crime is
righted by a return to protection and
prosperity and your mines I assure
will not open up while those factories
are shut down. We can't consume your
coal unless we can afford to buy It. You
enn't mine It unless we consume It. As
McKlnley said it is open mills we want
not open mints.
The crime of false finance led to the
French revolution. The revolution now
being attempted will have possibly
worse consequences. If you want to
Imperil this country vote the Demo
cratic ticket."
James J. H. Hamilton, the next
speaker, confined himself to n few re
marks in rebuttal of the contention of
the Democrats and they alone were
the friends of labor. He called atten
tion to the fact that one of the causes
which called the Republican party Into
being was the eradication of human
slavery, n Democratic Institution. He
also mentioned a few of the klntlnesei
of the Democratic party, such as flat
currency and fre trade, and told how
they had benefited the worklngman
and proved Democracy his frlend(?)
J. Ball Osborne, Hon. John II. Fel
lows and Hon. John R. Farr, the next
three speakers, made but brief remarks
ow,lng to the lateness of the hour, the
burden of their speeches being a plea
for a united support of the entire
ticket from McKlnley down.

Olyphnnt's New Electric Light Works
Must M nit a Little Longer.
In an opinion handed down yesterday
Judge Gunster decides that the $15,000
of bonds issued by Olyphant borough
to construct and erect a new electric
light plant, are Invalid.
mgrigdSMYDDq.lngm sdA- :nftlul swls
On January 1", 1895, council passed an
ordinance to increase the. Indebtedness
of the borough because the electric
light plant appeared to the authorities
insufllcient. On February 19, an elec
tion was held and the borough cast 253
votes that "the Indebtedness be Increas
ed," and 137 votes for "No decrease of
debt."
The council In June advertised for
bids for an electric plant, steam en
gines, boilers, etc., and undertook to en
ter into enntrncts with different parties
with a view of carrying out the pur
pose expressed In the ordinance con
taining the matter submitted to the
people's vote.
A preliminary Injunction was granted
to restrain the councils from entering
into contract and the injunction was
afterward continued.
On March 20, MI6, the borough filed a
formal answer and It appearing to the?
court that the plaintiffs had failed to
prosecute their bill of injunction dili
gently and that the borour;h had ap
parently overcome the obstacles sug
gested by the bill, the preliminary In
junction was dissolved on April 13.
Prior to this date, however, on Octo
ber 3, 1895, the council pasesd an or
dinance specifying the denomination.
They were to be of $500 bearing 5 per
cent. Interest each, and would mature
every year on October 1 till October 1,
1910, when all would be paid. The
borough had the privilege of redeem
ing them faster if It desired. The
bonds were advertised but no bids were
received, and on April 20, 1895. the
burgess and president of council sold
the entire Issue to Kdward C: Jones,
of New York, and the proceeds paid in
to to the horought treasury.
The opinion in substance says that
the assessed valuation for 1894 was
$497,585. and for 1895. $525.6S1. As $15.
000 is more than 2 per centum of these
amounts, the issue of bonds for that
amount was without authority of law
and Is Illegal, and at the time the eon
tracts were awarded and entered into
no bonds had been Issued, and there
was no money In the treasury with
which to pay them, the consent of the
Hectors had never been obtained to
pay Increase of Indebtedness except by
the Issue of bonds, and It necessarily
follows thnt the contracts mentioned
were not only not authorized by law
but were entered Into In violation of
law.
