For a Seat In flu Smitf,
Springfield, Ills., Oct. 20— Gover¬
nor Alt geld will not ba a candidate
next year for United States senator.
He has so declared himself, and gave
his reasons to a representative of the
Associated Press. It was thought by
many of the politicians that the with¬
drawal of Senator Palmer from the
race would induce Governor Altgeld to
announce himself. In this they were
mistaken. The governor left no room
for doubt as to his intentions.
“Now that General Palmer has with¬
drawn from the race for the senatorsliip
next year,” tho governor wa3 asked,
“will you be a candidate?”
“No,” he replied. “A decent regard
for the proprieties forbids that any
Democrat should make an effort to be
elected senator in this state next year.
As dudes say, it would be in bad form.”
"How's that, governor?" the
“Well,” he replied, “aside from
vacancy caused by tho death of State
Senator Hi rb, the Republicans have a
majority conditions of 17 of in the this hold state over such senators, that

if we were to sweep everything before

not possibly got a majority of more than
12 or 14 of newly elected members, so
that even if tho Lord wore to ba with us
next year the Republicans would stilt
have a majority of five or six on joint
ballot.
"Under those circumssauces it would
bo greedy like for a Democrat to want
the place, and as the Democrats are all
welibred gentleman, they will not be
guilty of such a breach of decorum,
but will preserve their dignity and pur¬
sue the even tenor of their way.”

THE TRIAL OF HOLMES.
The Case Continues to Excite
Intense Interest.

Their Presence, However* Seems to He Su¬
perfluous, as Holmes Is Really Conduct¬

Etc.—Many Witnesses Examined—The
Day's Proceedings.
Philadephia, Oct. 31 —There was but
one question passing from lip to lip
when the Holmes trial was resumed,
what will the next sensation be ? The
strange and startling developments
which have come pushing and crowding
each other since Monday morning have
worked the nerves of every listener to
such a pitch that whatever may come
hereafter, however bizarre or weird, will
not be marvelled at. The interest never
flags for an instant in or out of court.
People are talking, writing, dreaming of
the strange pale) story, with its central marvel¬ figure
so cold, so and withal, so
lously calm. lawyers
Holmes has recalled the
whom he dismissed the day before, but
It is apparent that their presence is even
now superfluous. It is Holmes who is
trying the ease. Scarcely a question is
put to a witness without being first
framed or suggested by him to his coun¬
sel, and should they take the liberty to
ask anything without first consulting
him and the query does not strike him
ns a felicitous one, he hesitates not to
manifest his displeasure by an Irritable
tapping with his pencil on the railing of
the dock.
Sharp at 10 o’clock Holmes, with his
quick stride, came swinging along the
steel barred cage, leading from the cell
room, and under the escort of a big A
officer, tock his seat in tho dock.

Constantinople, Oct. 28.—Another
terrible massacre of Armenians, accom¬
panied by the outraging of women, is
reported to have occurred quite recently
In the Baiburt district between Er
Eeroum and Trebizond. According to
the news received here, a mob of about
600 Mussulmans and Lazes, the great
majority of whom were armed with
Martini-Henry rifles, made an attack
upon the Armenians inhabiting several
villages of that vicinity and set fire to
their houses aud schools. As the Ar¬
menians fled in terror from their dwell¬
ings, they were shot down as they ran
and a minilier of men and women who
were captured by the rioters, it is added,
were fastened to stakes and burned
alive.
The Armenian women who fell into
the hands of tlio unit, it is also asserted,

It is also stated that the churches were

Chattanooga, Oct. 29.—The reports
as to industrial conditions nil over tho
south, as received at the office of Tho
Tradesman for the past week, show that
temporary changes in prices do not have
any decided effect- on the volume of
business which steadily increases. Iron
is not in as active demand as a mouth
ago, but deliveries on contracts keep tho
stock from accumulating in tho yards,
and inquiries show that a very largo
trade is not yet supplied. Pipomakers
aud structural iron manufacturers re¬
port a heavy business at firm prices.
Lumber men report encouragingly standpoint, as and to

operators in the northeastern states, who
have been at the Atlanta meeting of the
Northeastern Cotton Manufacturers’ as¬
sociation. Mills in operation have been
worked to tlieir full capacity, and more
are in active work than at any previous
time. Some complaint is mnde that the
margin of prefits is toojiarrow, but as a
whole, the southern cotton mill men are
doing well, aud new mills continue to
be organized. Fluctuations in tiie cot¬

manufacturers or growers, which gives as purchases profit

ALL DEBTORS NOT DISHONEST.
Free Silver Means That Creditors Are to
Lose 50 Per Cent.
Is the proposition for “free silver at
10 to 1.” expedient and liouost?
*•; Stripped of verbiage, the proposition
is for this government to embark in the
immediate and unlimited coinage of sil¬
ver dollars, each dollar to contain ap¬
proximately 60 cents' worth of silver
bullion; to discard all provisions for
guaranteeing the concurrent circulation
and parity of gold and silver, and to
compel by law the acceptance of the
new dollars in payment of all debts.
Tbe object is to reduce the value of
the dollar about one-balf, and by forc¬
ing creditors to take this dollar for debts
to senlo all existing obligations. The
only exception will bo where the shrewd
creditor lias stipulated for payment in
gold. Such creditor will bo paid iu full,
but tlio unsuspecting man or woman
who lias merely trusted to the honor of
the nation is to be “dene up,” jast in
proportion as tho dollar is scnled.
Tlio Populists are solid for tills
scheme. It’s iu their line of business.
They are opposed to a dollar having any
intrinsic value, but if they must have a
dollar worth anything at all tho less it
is worth the better it snitH them. Very
few Republicans take any stock in tho
scheme, and the moro'lt is studied the
sooner it will be dropped by all think¬
ing men.
The agitators assume, because Kansas
people are in debt, that every Kansas
man ought to join in tho clamor for
such dollars. I deny that it is the duty
of any man, bocauso ho lives in Kansas
and is in debt, to favor a schemo which
his conscience tells him is wrong.
I am as much in debt as tho average
Kansan, but I cannot see why this fact
should blind tho conscience or destroy
tho ability of a man to reasou on such
questions. I believo in bimetallism aud
iu the uso of tho largest volume of sil¬
ver as standard money which can be
maintained at a parity with our gold
and paper money, so that all of our dol¬
lars will be equal for all purposes. But
tlio Harvey programme is merely a
schemo to scale our standard dollar—iu
which all contracts have been made—
