er around I he shade of the park to hold
their re-union and recount the stirring
incidents of days that are gone,
Athenians will not be slow to do them
honor.
Athens sent her full quota of gallant
sons to the front in those troublous
times, a' many graves that dot the
hillsides of Virginia and Georgia tell of
the deathless valor of her sons.
No truer, braver, more heroic m'n

"Sorrow Is Cod's School.”
We are called on at this time in an
especial manner to sympathize with out
friends Mr. and Mrs. James Devant in
the loss of their dear little son, Hamil
ton, aged ten months, who.weary of life
fell asleep at the home of his grandmo
ther, Mrs. Rebecca Hamilton, in the
early dawn of Wednesday the twenty
ninth. Three times in less than five
years have these young parents givt n
back to God the precious jewel, lent
just long enough to entwine themselves
so deep in their hearts that when the
summons came for them to go up higher
it was hard to say, “Thy will be done.’
But it is sweet to think this delicate
fiower was safely sheltered by his Sa
vior’s arms, “Ere sin blight or sorrow
fade.” Yes, sheltered where no grief,
no sin, no death can harm so gently
folded on His loving breast, to be forev
er and forever blest.
The funeral ceremonies will take
place this morning at ten o’clock at the
residence of Mrs. K. C. Hamilton o
Milledge avenue, and all friends of the
family are invited to attend.

Bloomington, Ill., June £7.—Some
interest was excited here tonight by
news that the republicans had raked up
one of Mr. Stevenson’s speeches, made
when he was a candidate for Congress
on the Greenback-Democratic ticket in
1878, and proposed to reprint it as a cam
paign document. The speech was made
n this city on Sept. 12,1878, when pub
lic sentiment in this part of the coun
try was greatly excited over the Green
back question. Mr. Stevenson natural
ly took very strong ground in support
of the platform upon v^hich he was a
candidate.
In an interview with the World ie-
pc rter tonight Mr. Stevenson said in
reference to his present position on fi
nancial questions:
“Each time I ran for Congress I ran
on the Democratic platform. The in
dependents of the district, or Green-
backers, as many of them were called,
favored my election in 1874, 1876,1878
and 1880, as I favored the remonetiza
tion of silver, which had been demone
tized by a republican Congress.
“The condition of affairs at that time
was very different from now, so far as
the financial condition of the country
was concerne 1.
“My views on some of the questions
then discussed have been greatly modi
fied and the views expressed in the Chi
cago platform this year are the views 1
hold on the financial question. In the
main my views of 1878 were those of the
Democratic party in the West. The
Democratic platform of Illinois in 1878
plainly favored the remonetization of
silver. ^
“This is mjr reply in brief. I shall
present my views on the financial ques
tion in full to the Committee of Notifi
cation at the proper time.”
“During the years 18G5 Q6-67 and ’68
we were prosperous. All classes of peo
ple were happy and blessed. There
was no time within your memory and
mine when it was so easy to make mon
ey, so easy tc pay taxes. Never in the
history of the United States did our
people advance more rapidly in the de-
velcpmei.tof the country, in the per
fection of the arts of peace and the in
crease of business and wealth. During
that period the amount of money per
capita in circulation was three times
what it is today.
“In the year 1868 was discussed what
is known as the . Pendleton doctiine,
which was the payment of Goven ment
bonds in greenbacks, the lawful money
of the country. I advocated that dco-
trine from the place where I now ad
dress you, I thought that doctrine
was just, both to the bondholder and
the people; that it was warranted by
law, and 1 am of that opinion now. The
people wore not aroused to it then, but
governed by party spirit and the ex
citement born of war, then recently
closed, they rejected that proposition
at the polls.
“In that year Gen. Grant was elect
ed President, and his first act after he
entered upon the duties of that high
office was the signing of
a bill known as the act of 1869,
entitled'An act to strengthen the pub
lic credit of the United States,’ making
the principal of these 5-20bonds paya-
tn coin. These same bends, which had
been sold in the market for 40 cents on
the dollar, were by this act made paya
ble dollar for dollar in coin instead of
greenbacks, for which they were issued
and in which they were to be paid un
der the law.
“I believe it can be demonstrated by
the public records and acts of Congress
that a conspiracy was entered into for
the purpose of deceasing the wages of
labor, depreciating the values of pro
perty and increasing the power of mon
ey by contracting the currency and
withdrawing it permanently from the
channels of trade.
In 1870 Congress passed a law
known as the Refunding bill, by which
$1,500,000,000 of bonds payable in green
backs were authorized to be exchanged
for new bonds which were payable on
their face in coin.
“The third step in this conspiracy
was the demonetization of silver.
“This act of demonetization added
largely to the burdens of the people and
increased the difficulty of paying off the
national and the debts of the individual
citizens.
The Resumption Act
“The next s.ep was the passage of the
act of Jan. 14, 1875, known as ‘the Re
sumption act, which is for the forced
resumption of gold payments on the
first day of January, 1879. This was to
be accomplished by the retirement of
the greenback currency, the Secretary
of the Treasury being empowered by
the act to sell upon the market interest-
bearing gold bonds to procure the coin
necessary for resumption. Bear in
mind that this act was passed at a time
when the country had not recovered
from the effect of the terrible panic of
1873. In the year of 1866 the volume
of the circulating medium was $1,803.-
62,826. Ten years after, in 1876, it
was out $735,900,000 and in 1877 only
$696,243,184. Each year the volume
has decreased as the population grew
greater, until the amount per capita is
now but $14.60, as against $50.76 in the
1 iroaperous year to which I have re-
] erred.
“This policy of contraction was de
plored by President Grant in his mes
sage to Congress in December, 1873, in
which he stated that there was not
enough then in circulation to do the
business of the country and the dullest
period of the year.
“The only hope of relief for the peo
ple is in the agitation of this question.
Edmund Burke said: T love clamor
when there is an abuse. The alarm
b. ll disturbs the inhabitants, but saves
them from being burned in their beds.’
The people of this country are now
engaged in an earnest and successful
agitation of this important question.
They are organizing throughout the
United States for political action, and
their triumpn is only a question of time.
What remedy do we propose?
Both by voice and vote l stand pledg
ed ‘in favor of these reforms. While
your representative in the Forty-fourth
Congress I voted for remonetization of
silver and for the repeal of the Resump
tion act. I regarded the Resumption
act as the Pandora's box from whiob
have sprung a thousand evils to curse
the American people. This platform
demands the repeal of the Resumption
act and the substitution of greenbacks
for the national bank notes. Financial
reform is the corner-stone of our politi
cal faith. We favor an increase of the
currency and believe it to be a necessa
ry measure of the public relief. We de
mand a full supply of legal-tender cur
rency, which shall be receivable iu pay
ment of aU debts, public and private. We
fl erfT wi the full remonetization of the
in the coinage, but it should be placed
side by side with the gold dollar, as it
■was from the beginning of the Govern
ment. The retirement of the bank note
and the substitution of The greenbacks
of the Government in their stead would
save the people from $18,000,000 to $23,-
000, uOO annually.
“There is not a single argument in
favor of the proposition that the na
tional bank monopoly should stand,
but there are many grave objections to
the perpetuation of the system. It is a
dangerous experiment to the business
and institutions of the country to place
sir much power iu Die hands of this gi
ant monopoly. It is too great a consol
idation or centralization of the monied
power.
“Now, fellow-citizens, I have called
your attention to some of the most ne
cessary reforms in the policy
of th i government which
the people of this country are now de
manding and which their political
leaders have hitherto refused, the ab
solute and unconditional repeal of the
Resumption act; the full and unlimi
ted remonetication and coinage ot the
silver dollar; the retirement of the notes
of the national banks and the substitu-
tution of greenbacks in their place.
I r scanty of Greenbacks.
“The most important question of all
relates to the power of the general
Government to issue paper currency
and make it a legal tender in time of
race.
“I can fee no remedy but to retrace
the wrong steps taken—repeal the un
just laws io which I have referred and
issue a si fficient amount of money to
carry on ihe business of this country,
meet the demands of trade, the necces-
ities of o< mmerce and the just claims
of an impoverished and over-taxed
people, j his is the remedy that will
bring yon relief, and this only.
While 11 ad the honor to represent you
I vote 1 for no subsidy; I gave no voice
to increase to the extent of a single dol
lar our hor ded debt. I gave no vote to
grant to c< rporation or company one
dollar of il e public money or one acre
of thud. main. Within the past eigh
teen yeirs public lands equal in area u
the gr vit States of New York, Ohio
and Illinois have been granted to priv
ate companies—lands which should have
been held in sacred trust by the Gov-
ernmmt for the benefit of actual set
tlers,
“Daring my term cf public service 1
voted steadily for a reduction of the
expen es of the general government.
We re luc d the expenses of the Gov
ernment thirty milii- n dollars p-r an
num from foruur expenditures. Thi
was a -complishcd by the Forty-fourth
Congress, of which I was a member;
and f om a careful examination of the
estim tes and appropriations of pre
vious years, I am persuaded that ty the
cxero se of a reasonable ecr nomy in our
governmental .expenditures a much
larger sum even can be saved to the
people.”

The Opening.
Cincinnati, June 29.—Chairman Dick
ie, of the national committee called the
the prohibition convention to order, and
introduced Dr. J. G. Evans, of Hedding
College, YiL, who formally opened the
convention with a prayer, in the course
of which he entreated that rum he
driven from the country and that the
saloon cease to exist.
A number of belated delegates sought
seats after the prayer, and the Silver
Lake quartette of New York state ren
dered a temperance selection while or

ceived an encore.
Rev. Df. Lockwood, of Cincinnati,

Director General Davis has not drawn

But few of the members of the na

The Campaign Opened.
Washington, June 29.—The presiden
tial campaign was fairly started in the
senate on a basis of Mr. Hale's resolu
tion asserting the great benefits result
ing to the people of the United States
from the Republican policy of protec
tion, and questioning the possible effect
of the Democratic policy of tariff for
revenue oDly.
Mr. Hale gave a history, from his
ppint of view, of the recent Chicago
convention, so far aa the tariff plank of
the platform is concerned; stating that
it was framed so as to suit .the candi
dates, and declaring the issne between
the two parties had thns been made up,
and the fight would be waged on that
issue until decided by the suffrages of
the people next November.
Mr. Vest, on the part of Democracy,
accepted the challenge and had much
to say as to the operation of the McKinley
act in increasing the cost of dry goods
and hardware, in reducing wages ami
in causing strikes and labor troubles.
He also commented upon the choice of
the new chairman of the Republican
national committee as being in line
with the policy of encouraging monop
olies.
The Campaign Is Fairly Open and the
Excitement Ran* High.
London, Jnne 29.—Advices from all
parts of the country show that the elec
toral campaign is opening amid the
greatest excitement.
Mr. Balfour went to . Sheffield to ad
dress an open air meeting. The Con
servative agents, expecting disorder,
summoned a number of working men
to protect the meeting and to prevent
organized opposition to the meeting.
Fifteen thousand persons were present
at the meetiug. At the beginning of
his speech Mr. Balfour was continually
greeted with cheers and groans. Final
ly he expressed regret for the deplorable
accident that had occurred to Mr. Glad
stone. This caused the uproar to in
crease, and finally the noise became so
great that Mr. Balfour could be heard
by no one except the reporters. The
crowd made several uttempts to rush
upon the platform, and the police pres
ent had the utmost difficulty in repuls
ing them. Women screamed at the top
of their voices, fearing that they would
be crashed to death by the howling
crowd, and several of them were extri
cated in a fainting condition.
. Subsequently the speeches were as
brief as it was possible to make them,
and the meeting terminated iu the wild
est disorder.
SCIATICA.
(Augusta Evening News; Jan, 2Ctb, 1892.)
A well-known case in Augusta ba9 been
completely cured by the Electrrpoise, and
he following interview from such a well
knoWn, reliable and prominent man s®
President Wm C Sibley, of the Sibley
Mill, must deeply hnpresa, if not entirely
convince all who read it.
Mr. Sibley was perfectly willing to give
his testimony to the Evening News about
he Electropoise. He said he had been a
great suffeier from the sciatica for five
years before he began using the Electro
poise. For two whole years he had not
been free from pain, and at times the
“eiatic pains wen; so severe that he would
jump out of the bed in his tleep and awake
to find himself on the floor in great agony.
He spent much money at the North for
iptcial medical treatment, and was 67
t mis cauterized with a white-hot iron on
different parts of bis body. The treatment
was almost as teriible as the Eciatica it
self.
“How long ago has that been, Mr. Sibley?'
“A year ago. And yon know yourself
my condi ion before that time. I could
uot walk to my office, or even actos3 the
street. I was helpless, and had to go in
my buggy eveiy where.”
Mr. Sibley’s statements are remarkable
but there is no doubt o: their correctness
and the cur< s made by the Eiectropoise
are endorsed by all physicians who ex
amine them.

THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN.
A Plan of Action Using Arranged In
New York—Hill's Loyalty.
New York, June 29.—The World’s
Albany, N. Y., special says:
John Boyd Thatcher, president of the
state league of Democratio clubs, is
busy arranging a plan of campaign for
clubs throughout the state.
In talking with the correspondent he
paid a high compliment to Senator Hill
as an organizer and said: "It shall be
the task of the organization not only to
aid the independent voter in the work
of tariff reform, which he has so much
at heart, but to convince him that
within our party lines exist, those prin
ciples and those troths which we re
ceived from the founders of onr govern
ment, and which were preserved in their
rugged simplicity for a guide unto the
people, and a lamp unto their feet.
" This is to be another campaign of
education, and there will be no more
intrepid campaigner than Senator Hill.
He is loyal to the heart’s core; ho has
made this a Democratic state, and he
would do his utmost to keep it a Dem
ocratic state.
"I shall call the executive committee
of our state league together this week
for conference, and in due time will
hold a convention to formally introduce
the Campaign work. ”
