Silver the Great Issue.
Speaker Crisp Expresses Him?
self on Coinage.
ATLANTA, April 27. - Speaker
Charles F. Crisp io an interview at bis
home io Americas, declared himself to?
day to a staff correspondent of the Con?
stitution in favor of the free coinage of
silver. He believes the Democrats
should nominate a Western man with a
military record, arid says the party
should not nominate Mr. Cleveland for
a third term-that no man should have
a third term. The Speaker is in fairly
good health, bat his physician has
ordered him to spend the summer
quietly and he expects to leave shortly
for Asheville.
"The platform/' said Mr. Crisp ob?
servantly, "should declare for the free
coinage of silver direct and with a set
of principles responding to the de?
mands of the common people; we
should select some good man from the
West-some man with a military re?
cord, identified with the dominant sen?
timent that now controls the party, and
go forth with confidence to the victory
which the people give those who are
brave enough to fight for it. The
only fear I have, is that the people are
not in favor of free silver, bat that the
free silver people, who are io the ma?
jority, may divide into factions, run
oing two or three candidates, io which
event the election would be thrown into
the Hoase, which could elect a Repub?
lican.
"Such a contest as I have outlined
would cause many people to make new
party alignments. There are Demo?
crats strongly wedded to the gold
theory and many Republicans just as
strongly wedded to free silver. Of
course, these men would have to choose
between their old party and their con?
victions on this issue. The Demo?
crats of the East want gold, the Repub?
licans of the West want silver. The
re-alignments will be as interesting as
they will be puzzling, but to the lot?
tery of politics the whole issue must be
committed.
"Of course," said Mr. Crisp, "there
is a contingency in which the people
might not be called upon to settle the
question-that is, the possible action of
an international conference. That
would be the best and easiest method
of re-establishing silver, and with less
of the element of experiment in it. If
such a conference should be called and
it took action restoring silver so that
the people would be satisfied, then we
wocid have the final action for 1896.
In the meantime, however, the potpie
of the Uoited States will be moving
along to that result in their own con?
stitutional way. The people want the
free coinage of silver, I am io favor of
. its tree coinage, as I have always been,
and the Democratic voters will declare
for it next year."
"There is some talk." it was sug?
gested, "that you may be a candidate
for the Presidency next year ?*J
"I see," said Mr. Crisp, smiiiogly,
"that for want of a better subject many
newspapers are printing editorials on
that line. Not in the lifetime of the I
generation passing off the stage will a j
Southern man be elected The question
of residence, for a long time to come, j
will be a controlling one, and no man j
who was ever in the Confederate army j
can aspire to that office. We should j
get our next candidate from the West, j
The talk of Mr. Cleveland for a third I
term, under any conditions, has no j
basis. The people will not make that ;
break in tbe record. His views on the j
financial question are cot ?hared by the j
: people, and the conditions will be in j
many other ways different from what
they were in 1892."
Personally, Mr Crisp regrets the
manner tn which the silver issue is be?
ing forced to the front. "This is an j
off year," he said, "and it is fully six
months before the campaign of 1896
can be intelligently entered upon, and
if the discussion is continued, as now
seems to be inevitable; it subjects as to
a compaign which will cover nearly two
years of political excitement. Per?
sonally. I would have preferred that all
discussion should have been postponed
until the coming winter, wheo, under j
the conditions that wiii then exist, we j
could enter upon the race which will be
run for the supremacy in this country.
"From the time of the tariff commis?
sion of 1880 down to a year ago-four?
teen years-the cry for tariff reform
bad its varying fortones, resulting at
last in a revision, which I believe will
be so acceptable to the people that
there will be no general move made
upon it for years to come. The dis?
position of the tariff clears the way for
the settlement, of the silver question.
That question is now folly before us "
"Will it be the oue issue before the
people next year ?"
"It will," said be, "and in such a
way that it must bc settled directly,
not by subterfuge or evasion, but open?
ly, so that the people may understand
it. It will not down. The fact that
progress in silver rehabilitation has
been slow should not be discouraging.
This is a big country, from the Atlan?
tic to the Pacific, with probably 70,
000,000 of the most civilized peuple in
the world. The basis of all law with
us is the will of the people. When
after years of discussion and often
contrary action, they made up their
minds for tariff reform, there was no
power on earth strong enough to resist
it. The silver question is goiog
through the same course of public
discussion. It is meeting with defeats
and victories just in the same ratio as
characterized the tariff fight. Just as
in that fight, the silver men will have
their battle rojal ; theo the ?mericao
people will award the victory."
"How do you think the question wi
be settled ?"
"The majority of the American peo
! pie in both political parties are in favor
! of the restoration of the free coinage of
! silver. They are ? conservative peo
! pie, respecting ail rights and moving
j slowly that they may not disturb them,
j They may be repressed once in a while,
j but once they take up a question, there
will be no cessation until it is brought
to a culmination. The American peo?
ple are to-day behind the free silver
movement and they will push it on to
success and have silver re-established
to its old equality with gold. When
the people take up a question, the
i party succeeds which has the foresight
?and the wisdom to constitute itself the
agency thrrough which their desires can
be accomplished. This great financial
question, which has come to us side by
side with the tariff question, will be set?
tled likewir" by the Democratic party.
In the next campaign the rehabilitation
of silver will be the main and control?
ing issue upon which the Democracy
will appeal to the people. Party plat?
forms should always be plaiu and direct.
I do not believe in those planks which
are so written as to catch voters coming
and going.
"Parties should be honest to the peo?
ple. Whatever room existed for differ?
ent constructions of the platform of
1892 should no longer exist and for this
purpose that to be adopted in 1896
should be so plain that even a school
boy could understand it."
Speaking of Secretary Morton' slet
ter, Mr. Crisp said : "Yes, I have
read the letter in which Mr. Morton
declares himself for the gold standard.
But have you not noticed that President
Cleveland bas disclaimed responsibility
for the utterances of bis Secretary V
Then he added : "If Secretary Morton
had written a letter favoriog the free
coinage of silver, Mr. Cleveland would
probably have dismissed bim from his
cabinet, instead of merely disclaiming
his act.
A Cheerful View.
Taken of the Business Condi?
tions by Dun & Co.
NEW YORK, April 26.-R. G. Dun &
Co/s Weekly Review of Trade to-mor?
row will say :
Neither the rise in speculative mar?
kets nor the steady gain in industries
has ceased, and it is wholesome that
there are fewer signs of hesitation in
the productive industries than in spec?
ulative prices. Wages strikes grow
more numerous and cause some trouble,
and retail demand lags behind whole?
sale sales and jobbing purchases be?
hind production in some branches, but
torough many conflicting reports the
fact shines out that the industries are
gaining, not with a rush and a whirl,
but more safely
It is less clear that railroads are in-'
creasing their earnings, or that over?
production of cotton will be cured by
the advance of one and three-eighths
cents in price, or that cornering short
sellers of wheat will help to market the
large surplus, but revival of activity !
in all directions, if possibly excessive
in some, help confidence to take the I
throne so long held by distrust. Re-!
covery is not often mathematically
equitable. When the load of depression j
is lifted, and men find that better things i
have come to stay, there must be macy :
contradictory changes. Quite a uumber
of works have advanced wages during
the week, but strikes to compel an ad- j
vance, possible for some, but not for j
others, have grown much more numer- j
ons. Some shops are closing for want j
of orders, but a l?.rge-number are re- !
suming work. Prices of shoes and cot?
ton goods are rising ; wool and wooleus j
are lower. It would be a distinctly un
natura! movement, inviting only dis- !
trust, if it were sympathetic and with ;
equal steps in all branches.
Cotton mills are gettiog more money j
for goods and have quite generally ad- j
vanced wages. Thc consumption of
Northern spinners, at the maximum, ;
would io eight months be 1,350,000 \
bales, but they have actually taken ;
j 1,950,000 and have a profit on 600,000 \
j bales of over ?4,000,000. The con
i sumption is large, and advances seem
I to be warranted
Iron production, stimulated because j
ore, coke and oil were to be dearer, is
retarded by a shrinking demand for |
products, for, on the whole, new busi-j
ness is said to be smaller thau in Feb- ;
ruary on March.
The structural demand for buildings
throughout the country wss never i
larger. The frenzy in oil has started a ;
large demand fo>- pipe, and sheets
slightly advance. Rails are stagnant j
though a shade better at Chicago. !
Wire for fencing, for nails and wire j
rods are so duli as to be scarcely ?
quoted, and bar. though lifted a fhade, .
meets no increased demand. Besemer
pig is lower, and sales of Southern pig
in Northern markets have been large
at 25 cents advanced.
Money is coming hither from the in?
terior, and a larger demand for com?
mercial loans appears, especially fr?un
manufacturing towns in New England
and from importers. Failures for
eighteen days of April showing liabil?
ities of ?5,979,592, of which ?2,
602,779 were of manufacturing and
288,722 of trading concerns. The
failures for the week have been li'JO in
the United States, against 179 last,
year, and 37 in Canada, against 26
last year.
The Bousey Horror.
Similar to the Johnstown,
Pa., Disaster.
PARIS, April 28.-Reports of the
devastation caused by the bursting of
j the reservoir at Boosey yesterday have
j been received from Epioal hourly this
I afternoon. The loss of. life is far
beyond the first estimates. About 130 ;
deaths are now known to have been
caused by the flood, and the list may
grow, as in the confusion and ruin it
h~.s been impossible to account for scores :
of persons who are missing. The ;
search for dead bodies is still in pro
gress. Thirty or more of the dead
were buried to-day. The villages and \
peasant farms in the path of the flood
are strewn with the wrecks of buildings '
and are covered with heavy layers uf
mud. More than 200 families are
homeless and destitute. *
M. Leygues, minister of the interior,
has gone with a staff of officials to the
afflicted district to distribute money
among the needy. Most of the towns
near Epinal have sent food and cloth
iog to the destitute sufferers. A large
part of the valley is little more than a
morass with timbers and uprooted, trees
protruding from the mud. The soldiers
who are looking for bodies make only
slow progress, as the working of:
digging in the debris is necessarily
slow.
Much damage was done to the villa?
ges at some distance from the daru. As j
the flood swept down the valley it gath?
ered an immense quantity of timbers
and tree trunks which were thrown
against the buildings in the lower neigh
borhoods. For the same reason, the
number of deaths in the lower villages
was disproportionately great and more
bodies were mangled than at poiots
nearer the dam.
Parts of tbe Bousey Tavern was j
found to-day on the bank of the
Moselle, eleven miles distant. The
reservoir is now empty For several
days it had been above the normal level. J
The exact excuse of the break is not j
known. Some think the defect was in j
the plan of the structure, which was j
verticals. Other assert that the dam,
though originally strong, had been
cracked for years. The truth may not
be determined until the official inquiry.
Fifty thousand persons visited to?
day the scene of desolation in the
Aviere Valley. The little Aviere brook,
which ordinarily is bat five feet wide,
has been converted into a lake a mile
and a haif broad. Soldiers and work?
ingmen from the department of roads
are burying cattle and sheep as rapid?
ly as possible to prevent disease. Hun
dreds of carcasses were put under
ground to-day. The masonry on the
Bousey dam was begun in 1879 and fin?
ished in 1884. It was strengthened in j
1889. The dam was 550, yards long, j
66 feet high and 66 feet thick at the :
base. It was built against vertical '
rock and on sandstone.

A Powerful Protest Against Father
Phelan's Slanderous Pub?
lications.
ASHBURY PARK, N.J., April 2$.
In the Westminster Church of Ashbury
Park to-night a petition was circulated
among the congregation as follows: . ;
O SD
To His Reverence Monsignor Satolli,
Romau Catholic University, Wash- j
ingtoo D. C.:
We, the undersigned Christian En- j
deavorers of Ashbury Park, N. J., re?
spectfully call your attention to the i
wicked, false and slanderous state ?
ments published by Father Phelan-, one
of your priests in St. Louis. This base
and inexcusable assault is made upon
more than 3,000,000 pious, earnest,
godly and irreproachable young Chris?
tians io America. It is unparalleled in
its baseness and enormity, and t<bould ;
condign its author to everlasting in?
famy and contempt. We, therefore ask *
that the creature from whom ii ema?
nated be degraded, unfrocked and de?
posed from the high position which he ;
has so relentlessly disgraced. We are
encouraged to make this petition from
the many protestations which you, as
well as the holy see you ably repre?
sent, have recently fully and earnestly
made, with full confidence that you will
give it immediate aod careful consider?
ation.
To-morrow this petitiou will be taken
in band by the Epworth League and !
Christian Endeavorers for signatures in
this place and Ucean Grove. When
this is done, the petitiou will be for?
warded to Monsignor Satolli, at Wash?
ington.
Prior to the circulation of this peti?
tion into the church, Rev J.^P Dik?
son, the pastor, preached or,' tue sub
ject: "Father Phelan's-- base attack
upon the young ladies, of America.''
He scored Father ^Phelan severely.
Among the poioted passages were the
following.
"Judas Iscariot was a gentleman
compared with this shameless priest
1 wuuid out be surprised if Iscariot
would decline to recognize him below.
"Father confessor ! God pity the poor
2?rl thar should ever be so siliy as to
wbisoer her secrets in. such a swine's
car. Retraction i- no remedy Swift
and adequate punishment alone will
reach the case and if it docs not follow,
the whole Roman Church authorities
will beheld responsible."

What About it Now?
Constable Davis Makes Seizures
Under Instructions.
Whether it was prearranged or not,
the arrival of a dozen bottles of ex?
port beer here yesterday afternoon
may start the fight on Judge Goff's
restraining order. It was an innocent
looking case that came in at the
Union depot Friday, which has gone |
through the routine of seizure. The
constables who are loe. d in Colum- i
bia have been eagerly waiting for ?
something to pounce down upon, j
Yesterday afternoon Constable A. T.
Davis was at the station awaiting the
arrival of the train from Augusta.
One of the packages unloaded had
stamped on the side, "Jeff Davis'
Fine Old Rye Whiskey," and on the ;
top of*the case was marked "Glass." |
It was directed to D. II. Goble.
Columbia, S. C. Constable Davis I
thought that this was as direct an in-1
vitation to the seizure as could
very well be given. He put a cou?
ple of cross marks on the box, and
after it had been put on the express
wagon trailed it up to the office. Be?
fore going to the express office it is
understood he telephoned to the Gov?
ernor's office and received instructions
to make the seizure.
At the express office, upon the ar?
rival of the wagon containing the |
"spotted" box, there were about a
dozen people. They wanted to see j
what would happen. In du3 course j
of time the package was tak^n off the
wagon, and Constable Davis called
for a hatchet with which to open the
box. It was opened and found to
contain about a dozen bottles marked I
"Export beer." The constable was
satisfied that the labels indicated
what was in the bottles, but to further j
satisfy himself had one of the crowd
sample one of the bottles.
After this preliminary tasiting the j
package was sealed and a receipt
given to the Southern Express Com- ;
pany for the box, which was taken in ?
charge by Constable Davis.
It is evident that if anyone is so
disposed, that this will make a plain
case, and it might be used to settle
the effect of the order recently grant?
ed by Judge Goff.
Governor Evans yesterday said that
the constables were making their
seizures the same as usual. They bad
during the day made seizures at
Greenwood, Greenville and other
points in the State. From the re?
ports he received, there was no un?
usual attempt bei?g made to bring
liquor into the State on account of the
order of J udge Goff.
It has been suggested by those j
who have looked into the matter that j
there is no contempt of court on the j
part of the constables unless they are I
named iu a special order, and that a
contempt cannot be made in civil
cases by a general order not to do j
certaiu thiugs.-Columbia State.

Sloan Hearst Dies on the
Gallows.
ABBEVILLE, April 26. Sloan Hearst
colored, was executed in the jail here ;
this morning at ll o'clock by Sheriff.
Nance. He was perfectly calm and col- j
lected, and seemed to be the least ex- I
cited of those who were present. A j
minister of his own race attended bim j
on the scaffold, and he declared to bim j
that he was ready to die. The drop j
was about six feel:, and his neck was;
broken by the fall. Tbe doctors de- j
dared that life was extinct in seven !
minute?). He did not move a muscle j
after he fell. The body was allowed
to hang tweoty minutes and was then ;
turned over to his relatives, who car- j
ried it to Troy, his former home, for
burial.
The crime for which Slo-uj Hearst
paid the extreme penalty of the law
was the brutal and willful murder, ou
December o, 1894, of Lemmie Raplev. j
a colored woman with whom he had
had illicit relations for some years, al?
though be had a wife and several chil?
dren. He was tried at the Jauuary
term of court before Judge Buchanan, j
Col. W. C. McGowan was appointed by j
the court to defend h.m, and he did
everything io bis power for him, but,
the case was too plain, and the jury
returned with a verdict of guilty in ai
very short time after they left the |
court room. He was sentenced to be j
hanged on the 15th day of March. On j
a petition for executive clemency being ?
filed, the Governor granted him a re?
sole till the 12th day of April, in order
that he might have time tr? look into
the matter. Shortly before the time for
the execution came, the Governor an?
nounced that he refused to commute
the sentence, but he granted a further
respite until to-day, on account of the
illness of Mr. James H. Nance, the |
son of thc sheriff, who died on the
night (if the 1 Uh of April.
The Sheriff did everything in his
power to make the life o? the doomed
mau a> comfortable as possible, ano
the arrangements for the execution
were perfect.

! The Appropriate Remarks of the
Minister to President Diaz,
i WASHINGTON, April 26 -The State
Departtneot has made public the re?
marks exchanged between Minister
Ransom and President Diaz when the
former presented his credentials re?
cently. Mr. Ransom was fresh from
the atmosphere of the State Depart?
ment, and apparently thoroughly im?
bued with the policy of this govern?
ment toward other republics.
Among other things, t:he minister de?
clared that "the relations existing be?
tween the two great republics, divided ;
by a conventional line extending across
the continent from the Gulf of Mexico
to the Pacific Ocean, must ever be a
subject of serious interest to every
patriotic citizen of both countries. No
thoughtful observer can cross the boun?
dary and not realize that every con?
sideration of interest, every obligation
of duty and every sentiment of patriot?
ism enjoin peace and amity as the
policy-I had almost said as the law
between them.
"The United States and Mexico re?
cognize that justice between nations,
as individuals is the mother of peace
and the first law of human happiness..
"They regard national justice as na?
tional honor-the greater the power of
the nation, the greater its sense of jus?
tice. They both know that national
discords have been the most fruitful |
sources of the public calamity and that
national friendships have been almost
universally productive of public and
personal welfare.
. "To-day, peace is the interest and :
duty of ali nations, but to Uoited i
States aod to Mexico-bound in terri- ?
tory together by the indissoluble laws j
of nature and united by the ties of com- !
merce, by the sympathies of popular j
government and by tbe time honored
experiences of respect-amity and har- i
mony promise the most substantial [
beneficence."
After paying this tribute to Mexico's j
improving commercial condition and re?
ferring to Minister Gray's death, Mr. j
Ransom delivered his credentials, j
President Diaz replied with reciprocal
declarations of amity and admiration.
Can Jurors Take Notes.
A New Question Sprung in a Flor?
ida Circuit Court.
JACKSONTILLE, April 29.-The ques?
tion of whether a juror in a criminal
casa may take down in writing notes of
the testimony of witnesses, bas been
raised in the crimiaal court here by
some of the lawyers, lt is contended
by them that the jurors must listen to
the evidence and only take mental notes j
and that if a juror takes down notes on 1
the testimony in writing and uses his j
notes in the jury room, that his action ;
is sufficient grounds for setting aside
the verdict.
Judge Phillips has not rendered any
decision on the question. If the court
sustains the opinion of these who be- j
lieve the verdict should be set aside
on the grounds stated, a number of
cases tried last week will be effected, as ,
one of the jurors took down notes of'
the testimony on every case in which ;
be served.
