HARHISON,S ESS.
wharton Barker Suggested For TN,
Treasury Portfolio,


INDIANAPOLIS, December S.-The most
prominent out-of-town caller on General
Harrison to- day was Colonel w. B. Crooks,
OF Philadelphia, an old personal friend
OF Rev. M. ID. Haines, General Harri-
sons pastor, and also warm friend and
admirer OF Hon. Wharton Barker, the
distinguished Philadelphia banker and
publisher. Colonel Crooks visited Gen.
eral Harrison in company with delega-
ton of prominent Irish Americans from
Chicago, comprising P. II. CroniD, Pres
ident of the Home Market Club of Chi
cago; Major John A. Scanlan, Captain
Richard Powers, ex-President of the Ma
tional Seaman's Union, and others. The
primary object of the visit of the Chicago
delegation was to bring to the attention
of the President-elect the project
of encouraging and permanently
continuing educational work on the tariff
set on foot during the late campaign.
They state that General Harrison
evinced decided interest in the matter
and promised to take it under friendly
consideration. Having concluded their
conversation upon this subject, Major
Scanlan, Captain Powers and DR.. Cronin
requested the General to also take under
consideration the name of Wharton Bar
ker for Secretary of the Treasury. Cen
eral Harrison is quoted as having re-
Piled: Gentlemen, I am making no
promises in such matters, but your
kindly suggestions will receive my care
full consideration. He is said to have
freely expressed his high regard for Bar
ker and his appreciation of the services
he rendered in the campaign.

I Associated Press Dispatches to the HkRALpl
WASHINGTON, December S.-The ESen-
ing Star has the following: There is a
feeling of great anxiety and depression
among the leaders OF the Democratic
party in the House on account of the
course being followed by the Democratic
Senators in the tariff matter. They are
almost disheartened by it. The Demo-
Gratis OF the Ways and Means Committee
put their souls intothe fight in the House.
and feel that the battle is still OF and
must be kept up to the last. They think
the Senate bill should be fought with the
greatest persistency and vigor 80 that
every defect in it may be exposed, and
they feel that any other course to-
ward it would be equivalent almost to
confession of judgment. They are
surprised at the passive way in which
the Democratic Senators appear to be
conducting themselves. Nearly all the
hard work in getting up facts and figures
has already been done by the WAYS and
Means Committee, and the Senators have
but to possess themselves of the inform
alton now of access. Yet it is com
planned that they have shown no dispo-
sition to do so and none of them has.
undertaken vigorous championship of
| the party's cause. All the Democrats of
| the House want is that the defects that
they think they see in the Senate bill
| should be dragged out into daylight and
| vigorously attacked and denounced.
| They do not care whether the bill passes
the Senate or not, and they do not want
to have to take it up in the House at all
this Sc sion. They desire that the DEM
ocratic Senators shall make every point
possible against the measure, and then
when it reaches the House it will be
allowed to lie in committee They say,
however, that they cannot afford to let
the bill 60 without criticism as it has prac-
tically SO for, and that if the Senators
tail to do their duty, the Ways and
Means Committee will be obliged to take
it up.

By THE light Of indsputable facts pub
lished in the HERALD yesterday, it ap.
pears that twenty acres OF moist land
seeded to alfalfa will yield seven or eight
crops year, of two tons 10 the acre for
each cutting, or fourteen to sixteen to
the acre per annuDl. For the twenty
acres the yield would be 2SO to 800 tons
year. There seems no reason to doubt
that such little farm will feed half a
hundred cows. But if one puts the
figure at half that sum, md say that on
twenty-acre alfalfa ranch a dairy of
twenty-five COWS can be maintained it
will do. If man has that many 90 d
animals, and keeps with his dairy good
flock Of chickens, his income will be
something phenomenal. Five hundred
hens ought to produce, nearly every day
in the year, twenty dozen OF eggs. At
the prices usually paid here this means
"a or IS per day. From such a flock of
chickens--well managed--a man NAV
easily sell not less than 100 doz-
en- OF poultry per annum. Cool
poultry sells here at from SIS to
S6 per dozen. Here we have $500 to
5000 per annum from the sale of poultry.
and over twice as much from the sale of
eggs. From such poultry ranch man
can get readily an income of $4,000 a
year. Add to this the profit of twenty
five cows and the rsncher has really
large revenue from his twenty acres.
Note that at this time over 81 900 900 a
year is going out of this county for eggs,
poultry, butter and cheese. There are
carloads OF chickens and turkeys arriv-
ing here every day from Kansas CITY to
feed our people.

SENIOR CASTELAR, of Spain has q f

SENIOR CASTELAR, of Spain has fine
conception of what is in the
line of the eternal fitness of things
go far as the Latin race is con-
cerned. 1t is a fine spectacle for the
rival races to behold France and Italy
gnawing at each others vitals in reg
ular Kilkenny cat fight programme. So
it was so many centuries ago, when the
races of southern Europe, divided into
warning empires of the East and Wes
had weakened the resources of
both empires. The barbarian came
down like the wolf on the fold,
and savage Goth and furious Hun
charged upon the walls of Rome, and
laid waste the plains of Italy. One
would suppose that the past might
serve as light to guide the feet OF these
people in the present. The interests of
the Latin race lie in the line of alli-
ances among themselves, not in those
made with rival races. Don CASTELAR, is
a statesman.

most out-of-the-way plac s will be dis
covered in the list. Germany leads all
the foreign lands with 9lo, and iceland
follows her with us. England is third
with 3Sl, and her dependency, Canada,
comes next with 2S7. France is close be-
hind this last with 2lS, and Italy is next
with LOS, followed by Mexico with 105.
Then the list fails below the hundred
mark, and the other nations cut only a
small figure.
There are few queer things in the
analysis. The little Isle of Man is there
with one son. Another voter was born
in China. One fellow sets himself down
as native of the United States. He
will not be circumscribed by State bounds,
but claims the Great Republic as his
home. Five voters should have been
called Morgan, as they were born at sea
and one citizen, after the fashion
of Ulysses when dealing with Poly
phemus, the Cyclops, ought to have
been called Quits, as he seems to have
been born nowhere.

DEPLORABLE MURDER.
A Bloody Tragedy Reported From
TeXaFkana. Ark

Sr. LOUIS, December 8.-The Republic 8
Texarkana, Ark. ,specialsays: A most SEN
sational and deplorable murder occurred
this evening. A son Of A. T. Spear killed
ex-Mayor Biedler on the streets. Four
years ago Biedler separated from his
wife, charging her with intimacy
with A. T. Spear. Six months
ago Mrs. Biedler died. and Biedler
set ugly rumors afloat about Spear. The
matter was carried on until to-day. Spear
became enraged at some new story, as
sailed Biedler and gave him a terrible
beating with club. Later Biedler re.
taliated by giving Spear fearful beating,
and short time afterward as Biedler
was walking up the street, the 19.year-
old son of Spear walked up to him,
placed shotgun behind his ear and
blew the top of his head off. Young
Spear is in jail.

An Appreciative Visitor.

General W. w. Averill, who came
here in his official capacity as Assistant
lnspectorGeneral OF the National Sol
diers' Homes, to view the Soldiers
Home ct Santa Monica, has been inter-
viewed in San Francisco on the subject
of his visit He is eloquent and enthu-
siastic in his praise of the site of the
Home and the beauties of it's surround
ings and the magnifcence of our climate.
This section has dawned upon the visit
ing General as poetic revelation, and
he thus speaks of his experience here
We have spent good deal of time
lately at different National Homes in the
East. We were at Hampton, Virginia
at Dayton and Leavenworth, and | must
say that Santa Monica possesses COM
bination of advantages that is equalled
no where else. 1t has such magnificent
variety OF mountain, ocean and plains
scenery, and has so many attractions in
point of health, that it is ahead of any
other place. Hampton, Virginia, is fine.
The air is verv salubrious there, but it is
not equal to Santa Monica. Climate is
rot thing to he measured by the ther-
mometer or the barometer. Ii has got
to be felt, and so l may say the climate
of Santa Monica is to all those other
places as gold is to brass.
Two OF the buildings at Santa Monica
we found completed, and they are at
work on others there. and they will go
right along erecting them. A large per
centage of the 1900 occupants of the
National Homes in the East who are
afflicted, will necessarily, and very prop
erly, be transferred to the Home at
Santa Monica. A good many of them
are getting old and feeble. and their lives
would be prolonged by coming here. SO
you may expect good many of them.
There is everything at Santa Monica
that could be wished. The supply of
water will come from the mountains i've
miles away. Three miles of pipe are al
ready laid.
There is one striking expression in
General Averill's remarks about our eli
mate. He says it cannot be measured
by the barometer or the thermometer 1t
must be felt. That is where our climate
accomplishes its work upon newcomers
All the meteorological tables that were
ever compiled on the equable and suave
character of our climate cannot convey
to the stranger an idea as strong or as
receptive as the mere declaration of
General Averill that "it must be
felt" 1t is exis' ence in the balm
OF our grateful atmosphere--th inhala-
ton of our pure and invigorating air
the glow that fills the whole system with
delight under our genial skies-the re-
juvenation that follows the peaceful rest
in our cool nights-the gentle and re-
freshing breezes that come over us like
the sweet south wind kissing a bank OF
violets, stealing and giving odors-
these are some of the offices OF our clim-
ate that make existence in this favored
section an hourly blessing and a
perennial Joy.

A BLOW FOR A BIO
"A TexaS Representative Furnishes a
Wicked heuOrter


WASHINGTON, December 8.-About a
year ago George Harries, then reporter
on the Post, wrote an article which OBJ
tained wide circulation, setting forth
that Representative Martin, of Texas,
blew out the gas in his room in a hotel.
This afternoon the Congressman met
Harries in the corridor of the Capitol
and assaulted him by striking him ON
the ear. Harries, in considera.
tion OF the Congressman's age, made
no effort to retaliate, and Martin was
seized by. another newspaper man and
prevented from repeating the blow No
damage was done, but the affair created
some excitement in the building. Har-
ries, who is one Of the most popular Jour.
nalists here, is now on the Evenia0 Stor.
dc says he will have the Congressman
arrested for assault.

LAST night the Democratic members
OF the Council met in caucus, but nothing
came OF it. There is grand scramble

no less than eight Of the eleven
Democratic members being in the

Chief Of Police there are fifteen candi-
dates, all OF whose names appeared be.
fore the caucus. Very we'll, gentlemen
60 it! The more the merrierl But
your party expects something of each of
you. When the Council meets to-mo,-
row you will all stand revealed before
the people of the city. Vaulting ambi-
ton is fine thing, and all spirited citi.
zens possess due share of the quality.
A man who has none of it is either more
or less than a man. 1t is only at fault
when 1T leaps too far-when it o'erleaps
itself and falls on the other side, thus de-
feating the purposes of all concerned and
reaching nothing but confusion. The man
who went into the Council as Flanagan
went to the Republican Convention and
wants to know what he is there for if not
for the offices, is the fellow whose ambi.
ton is of the o'er-leaping quality. We
should all have our eye on him when he
comes up again for election. A sensible.
business-like affair is what the people
want. There is not going to be
much patience exercised with a Council
split to atoms over small personal ambi-
tions. Get together again, gentlemen,
and bind yourselves to bide by the will
OF the majority in the caucus. You can
not all preside in the Council, and you
capnot all get your candidate into the
Offices. 1t is not hard to tell who has
strength and who has not. Drop the
wesklings, and by q method of arti.
fetal selection get the strongest men.
But do not let us have any unseemIy
about this matter. Let the
Council be harmonious, working one
which will accomplish good results for
The city. That will be the best ambition
% display.

Grand total all voters ......... IA 662
The total voters as given in the Great
Register is IA 4,776. The discrepancy in
dicates that in the count ia names were
missed. The result is very close in a
count of SO great magnitude, and it is too
tedious business to go all over the list
the second time for corrections. The
ratios would not be greatly changed by
the names missed.
1t will now be of interest to make
some analytical and synthetical combi-
nations of these results. Thus it will be
found that OF our voters, there were born
in the northern States 9,O76, and only
2,2S7 of them in the southern States.

US over one-third; that the Middle States

the Empire State claims 1,649, or more

ing the thousand figure, and New Jersey
has only 175 of her sons here; that the
Great West, from Ohio to Colorado, and
north of the Ohio river, has the lions
share in her S,s9l; of these Ohio has
the greatest number, 1852, and Illinois
the next, S5S.
All the States are found, and every
Territory excepting Dakota and Wyom-
ing. New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Illinois and Massachusetts are on every
page OF the Great Register, and in many
pages the sons of one or other of these
States count up over dozen.
Passing on to the foreign born popula.

one might suppose. 1t is over twenty eight
