DUNNELL FOR SPEAKER.

Not long ago when speaking of his
chances for the speakers.1ip, Mr.. Nc
KINLEY was quoted as saying: eff l
am not elected, you can rest assured
that some Western man will be-" This
was construed at the time into meaning
that some Western congressman was
being held back as dark horse in the
race for the speakership, to be sprung on
the Republican caucus whenever it
should he demonstrated that McKIN-
LEY could not win. As matters now
stand, it looks as if such contingency
would not occur. and yet it was a mat
ter of speculation then, and still is, who
the Western man was that had been
singled out for winner in the event of
a miShap to MCKINLEY. 1t was con-
eeded at the time that CANNON was not
available, that HENDERSON was never
seriously in the race, and that the other
Western Republicans who had been
spoken of possessed no elements
of positive strength. 1t has re-
Gently been given out, and while
the story is not fully authenticated,
we have no reason to question its truth
fulness, that our own MARK II. Dun
NELL was the man who had been named
as MCKINLEY's residuary legatee, and
who may yet bob up as the favorite in
case the Ohio man should be ham,
strung before congress assemblies. In
such contingency, Mr.. DUNNELL
would find himself beset with single
embarrassment, and yet that is one COM
mon to all Minnesota politicians nova
days-the lack of the united aud enthu-
siastic support of his own delegation.
He enjoys the singular distinction Of
being the only Minnesota man in either
branch of congress who has achieved
national reputation. During his for
mer service in congress he impressed
his abilities upon that body sufficiently
to make him formidable candidate for
the speakership at one time, and came
within an ace of beating the notorious
KEIFER for the the place. 1t is fur
thermore to Mr.. DUNNELI.'s advan-
tage that with the exception of MCKIN-
LEY he is about the only Western con-
gresham on the Republican side whose
abilities are above mediocrity. With
MCKINLEY out of the way there would
be nothing to prevent Mr.. DUNNELL
from stepping into leadership except
the opposition of his own state delega-
ton. Little minds are always jealous,
so it is natural that the rest of the Min
nesota delegation would oppose Mr..
DUNNELL's ambition, and would seek
to hold him back from the prominence
that his abilities entitle him to enjoy.
speaker, he can rest assured that the
joint effort of his colleagues will be
strong enough to deprive Minnesota Of
the influence in national affairs the
state would gain by his promotion.

Il
the Other at Norfolk.
+ WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Chief Con-
tractor Wilson to-day by direction of
Secretary Tracy sent the following let
ter to Commodore Ramsey, commando
ing the New York navy yard:
Sir: The department having directed that
one Of the 3,o00-ton steel cruisers be built st

forwards by mail the plans and twelve copies
OF the specifications, ten copies OF which
please turn over with the plans to the naval
constructor. The work of laying down this
vessel will be commenced as soon as the mold
lott Of the floor and appliances can be gotten
ready, and will be pushed TO completion with
as much dispatch as possible. As soon as
half model of the vessel can be pre-
pared and the plates, frames, etc, laid OFF
on and verified, so far as necessary by
the work ON the floor, the schedules for ma
terials must be prepared in triplicate, one to
be retained by the constructor and two sent
to the bureau. that one may be sent to the
contractors for furnishing the materials.
These schedules must be made out in the
regular order in which the materials are re-
quired for use, that they can be obtained
promptly and the work on the vessel not be
delayed. A schedule of all materials other
than steel that will be required in building
this vessel will be prepared in duplicate and
forwarded to this bureau. The vessel will be
built on the site where the Tennessee and
Java were built, and the work OF
putting down the foundation or bed
blocking, erecting keel blocking and
cribbing can be Immediately proceeded With.
Until the vessel is named she will be known
end designated as Cruiser No. z, and funds
for carrying on the work required will be
charged to appropriation increase of the
navy construction and machinery. The
bureau expects that every effort will be made
by the master mechanics and those employed
under them on this vessel to expedite the
work for their own credit, that of the yard
and that the secretary of the navy may not
be disappointed in being able to build the
vessel as eheaply as she could have been con-
tracted for and Of this they should be in
formed.
A similor letter was sent to CommN-
dOre Brown, commanding the Norfolk
navy yard, the only change being In the
order that the cruiser should be known
as No. s, and that she be built on the
slip north of the Texas site.

ton board will be ordered to examine
the vessel, and if they report favorable,
of which there is little doubt, Secretary

QUEER ALLIANCE.

Some of the Republican papers in
Iowa are tittering over the theory that
the Democrats made bad break in the
way of practical politics in declaring in
their platform for a $500 license and
stringent regulations in the liquor bust
ness. 1t is insisted that in the river and
other prominent towns the sellers claim
that high license will close half the sa-
looms, as the law would be enforced.
All the illicit and bootleg dealers will
Join with the Republicans in standing
for prohibition. 1t is stated further,
that the brewers and whisky agents in
other states will contribute, if called on,
to the Republican campaign expenses,
in order to maintain the existing condi-
ton. Prohibition has shut up the brew
cries and distilleries in Iowa and given
outsiders a monopoly of that trade.
The highest court has decided that
railroad companies must transport
all liquors consigned to Iowa peo-
pie, and this throws an enor-
nous traffic into the hands of the
wholesalers i'll st. Paul. Chicago and
other places. From the low standards
of the politicians, who look ouly for i'm
mediate success, il. is possible that the
Iowa Democrats have not been wise,
but it will be found in the end that Mr..
CLEVELAND was right in his recent
apothegm, Party honesty is party ex-
pediency." The point is not as to any
particular license figures or precise
method of alIeviating the ills of a prac-
tice, but the generalization that ensues
in having statutes that are flagrantly
and constantly violated, with the toler-
alton of public sentiment, thereby de-
bauching the popular conscience and
bringing the law into disrepute. The
example is dangerous. Better leave to
the Republicans all the fruits of such
an unhOly alliance.

APoLLlNARps SENTIMENT.
Pensylvania's Prohibitory League
FaVOrs SumptuarY Legislation.

y
HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 26.-The
Union Prohibitory League of Pennsyl-
vania, having for its object the sup
preston of the saloon outside of party
lines, held its first convention here to-
day, with about 100 delegates. The
platform adopted by the convention re-
iterates the evils growing out of the
liquor traffic, and dec ares that the
constitutional prohibitory amendment
failed in June last because of
the unfair political methods of those
opposed to it. 1t therefore concludes
that such verdict cannot be accepted
as final, but as the constitution cannot
be amended for five years to'come, it
favors the most restrictive legislation
and the enforcement of the present
policy of prohibition in the counties
which voted therefore. The league will
favor the election of candidates to pub
lie office, without respect to party. who
will best represent its principles, and it
urges the organization of union pro-
hibitory leagues in every city. county
and town in the state. Over 81 900 was
raised before the adjournment, and

ing tonight. Hon. Albert Griffin, of
