and fit; iliiy. But there oertainly
. 1 ii i!(t laws especially favoring
tin v 11 thy classes. Such a law, how-
nii t certainly exists in the act of
I ill idling the single gold stand-
ard. It favors the rich to the dotri-
. nt - f t In producing classes because it
i -tens upon us a growing or appreciat-
ing mi asurc of values. Every successive
nation which adopts the gold standard
- the world's demand for that
tan -h enhanoes its rela
. \alue. Kwry year, as the commerce
tb world inert ases, the value of gold
Tlx- dollar is ever becoming
!:. r and larg< r. The rich find it
gi .tly to t! ir advantage, but it bears
In ivily on the industrial classes.
i: ltorprise requires that men should
borrow. N one can engage actively in
aii business by which employment is
. n tool In is and the community ben
i I .1 with nt being a borrower. Every
sncci ful i oil has at ono time been
Jai;;< !>• in d« lit. Tho gold standard dis-
criniinuti s against this useful class—
th" a.'.! . * iitt iprising, producing class
ol the nation. It does
ii;;- Ii an , in addition to tho interest
;und .a appreciating standard
ti. di bt i-i' vi r growing larger. An ad-
v,t:11ag • is thus by law placed in tho
mils of th monoy lenders and tho
; it. iiiiani m i -, to tho detriment of all
other classes.
Undi ! this advantage tho rich grow
• th wonderful rapidity and tho
,, :i\ , p'« lacing classes, of course,
burden. It was under
the operation of the gold standard in
F.agland that the class of small farmers
was entiiclv wiped out and the lands
imo into tin- p session of a class of
W ltby capitalist holders, the former
owners becoming mere tenants on the
•.tills they one were the proprietors of.
In tho same way people in this country
will increasingly become tenants and so
depart tho farther from tho ideal condi-
tion of a republic.
With a stable money standard, or, if
it must vary at all, a depreciating rath-
er than appreciating oue, this advantage
to wialth c. a-vs to exist, and tho ninety
and nine average citizens prosper far
more in the aggregate than the one does
under tho present system.
't he true interests of tho republic de-
mand not that wealth bo equalized, but
that all I given a moro equal chance.
This tlie r ; al of the act of 187 25 and
t!i i -en . tment of tho coinage laws as
they < xisted prior to that year will very
greatly accomplish.
To illustrate tho operation of the ap-
pr iting standard and tho advantage

Sr. Lot'is, Oct. 31.—'Tho fifteenth an-
nual session of tho American Railway
association met here on yesterday with
300 delegates present, for several 4ays'
session.
President Charlos Nagel of tho city
council, in tho absence of the mayor,
extended a welcome to the delegates.
President H. M. Littell, vice president
and general manager of the Metropoli-
tan Elevated railroad, New York, then
delivered his annual address. Ho said :
in part:
Among the most serious difficulties
with which we have to contend today
is the grov ing disposition of ifovern
ment, whether state or municipal, to
increase our burdeii of taxation. Extra-
ordinary prejudice against corporations
causes them to bo regarded as (|bjoets
of attacks of spoliation. Of all corpora-
tions, those which suffer the most from
this prejudice are those which exercise
a public franchise, and street railway
franchises seem in particular the favor-
ite objects of restrictive legislation.
Another and ono of the severest strains
to which railway corporations are sub
jected consists in penalties imposed by
courts for negligeuce by their em-
ployes."
The reports of the executivo commit-
tee' secretary and treasurer wore then
made and tho remainder of the morn
ing session was taken up with reading
papers.

tho United States is about to organize an
army of uniformed evangelists who will
bo under military discipline and com-
pete with the Salvation Army and the
American Volunteers in the field of
Christian work among the poor The
project was decided on Monday. The
matter came up for consideration some
time ago beforo the Parochial Missions
society. A committee of this represent-
ative body was appointed to investigate
the army project. The investigating
committee's repefrt was read and recom-
mended tho adoption of the army
scheme.
A committee was appointed and it
will at once proceed to complete the de-
tails of the organization. Tho plans
will include the features of the Salvation
Army and of tho Church Army of Eng-
land, from which the former organiza-
tion sprang. Uniformed corps of trained
evangelists, under military discipline,
wiL • stationed in different cities.

Alio to Murdering Joel Anhworth and
Another Man ami Woman.
Dbnvf.r, Oct. 21.—Albert Henc<
Downes, a man 45 years of age, has
been arrested by tho city detectives for
highway robbery. A search of his room
has revealed a largo amount of booty
and the prisoner has confessed to fully
fifty holdups in the suburbs of this city,
as well as to the murder here of one
man, Joel Ash worth, and a man and
woman in California. Ho says he served
17 years in tho California penitentiary

The Ash worth murder here was com-
mitted in June last, and has ever since
baffled the police department. x Downs-

Inability to Check the Cuban Revo-
lution—Cimiotu* JSa.v* the War Will
Continue On
New York, Oct. 21. -A dispatch to
Tho World from Havana says that Wey-
ler and Blanco will bo recalled. Pre-
mier Canovno will fall and grave oveuts
will occur in Spain, Madrid dispatches
say i; is believed there, unless tho reb-
els in Cuba and tho Philippine Islands
are conquered withii a month
The Madrid press openly attacks Con-
ovas and Weylor bee: ise of tin r ina-
bility to check tho Cuban revolution.
Tho Madrid Herald says:
"Whilo Havana and New Wile in-
form us that the Cuban rebels are pen-
niless with hardly enough money to
carry on the revolt, Premier Canovas
trjes to make us believe that the> have
money to burn and sow it broadcast in
Spain and her colonies. Tho recent up-
risings in Valencia und Podralva, Spain,
and Cavito, Philippine Islands, ho bold-
ly charges to tho Cuban junta, through
its paid men. Every time a disturbance
occurs tho government- declines tho re-
sponsibility for it, attributing it to tho
underhandce rings of tho Cuban reb-
els. Tho truth is that there is a deep
fooling among tho masses, who are in
open hostility towards tho government,
tirod of suffering for its misdeeds and
soon to rise up against it. The new re-
inforcements of 40,000 will hardly stif-
fico to keep the rebels at bay, and more
will bo required—who knows how many
more ?"
The Madrid Coinico says "that Pre-
mier Canovas is responsible for tho ex-
citing state of affairs, which would bo
bettered should ho re ire."
Tho Nuovo Men do violently attacks
Weyler, saying that under his com-
mand tho Cuban revolt has assumed
greater proj ortions than when C.tmpos
was in Cuba, and that if in a mouth's
time after the arrival of the reinforce-
ments he does not deal a finishing blow
to the rebellion In will be treated worst
than Campos.

CANOVAS INTERVIEWED.
Say* Spain Ha* No Idea of Abandoning
tho Ctilmn Content.
New York, Oct. ^L- \ dispatch tc
The Herald from Madrid * a;. - that ii
an interview with Premier Canovas In
characterized as absolutely false and ri-
diculous the statement to the effect that
tho Spanish government intended
abandoning Cuba in the event of the
war not being concluded in March.
"The government," ho said, "was
guided entirely bv the opinions and
wishes of tho Spanish p< opto, and, far
from desiring to terminate the war, Un-
feeling for the oppression of the insur
rection grows stronger daily. So long
as this feeling continues tho Spanish
government will do its duty in prosecut-
ing tho war to tho bitter end."
Regarding the report that President
Cleveland intended taking action in fa-
vor of the insurgents, Senor Canovas
says tho government has received assur-
ances from Washington to quite tho coil
trary effect.
"Naturally," ho said, "the United
States government desir • for many
reasons to see an early termination of
tho war, but further than th it uothing

New York, Oct. 21.—A dispatch to
Tho llerahl from Constantinople says:
Tho Armenians have added assassina-
tion to the crime of bombtlirowing.
Three or four days ago Cololian Avadis,
tho Armenian advocate in the service of
the foreign office, receivod a letter from
tho Armenian committee demanding
£1400. This system of blackmailing
has been widely and successfully applied
by the Armenian anarchists with rich
but unwilling Armenians.
Cololian asked for polico protection
yesterday evening. A little after H
there eaino a knock at his door, which
one of the two policemen opened. One
man immediately entered and wis
quickly followed by two others. Tin
latter seized tho policemen, while the
first began to attack them from in front
with a large knife. Nouri Effendt, one
of tho policemen, was wounded in the
stomach,being wollnigh disemboweled,
tho other, Meohmot, was stabbed li
times. A big reward has boon offered
for tho murderers.
Public spirit is arotisod against the
Armenians. Tho people are asking that
if Turks aro to bo murdored for protect-
ing Armenians, what is to happen next.
Nouri tried to chase the Armenian as-
sassins until hn had fallen unconscious
and blooding in tho stroot. His life
might lutvo boon saved had it not been
for this last instinctive call to duty.
"Inschallah," ho saidt "it is God'*
will."
Mechmct, who may pull through,
said that after being attacked lie flod
upstairs und fell senseless on the first
floor landing. From there ha was
thrown out of the window into tho gar-
d"ii below, and from thence tho Arme-
nian watchman threw him out into the
street.
The sultan sent to tho hospital a mes-
sage of sympathy and direotcd that lv
be kopf constantly acquainted with the
condition of tho wounded man.

Constantinople, Oct. 10.—[Dolayod

Prussian Ambassador Do NolidofT had
with tho sultan on Friday the latter
expressed his firm intention of carrying

ministration for Armenia. Do K eli do ti
