lowed Montez, still running, who
wheeled round and fired four
shots, one taking effect in the left

Cleveland and Silver.

The Democracy at the present
time is in a pretty pickle on the
question of the free coinage of
silver. An overwhelming mi r.
ity of the party is evidently in
favor of unlimated coinage; but
it cannot carry out its pet scheme
without sacrificing some of it's
most available presidential tim
Der.
The "seer and prophet" of the
party, Grover Cleveland, though
ready enough to write letters
upon every other subject under
the sun, remains obstinately silent
on the silver question. He has
PERMITTED Senator Vests state
ment of his position to go with
out denial or affirmation giving
no sign that he has abandoned,
the gold idea IF which he was 50
earnest an advocate when last
heard from on the question of
money.
This, then, is tie situation: If
Mr.. Cleveland stands by his coloIs
he must inevitably put away all
presidential ambition; il he f1ops
he must inst a inevitably expose
the Mugwump derision and step
down and out of the joss-house
which he has occupied so long to
his own intense satisfaction.
Meantime he keeps his mouth
closed in the hope that his Des-
tiny will rescue him from the pail
full position without any effort Of
his own.
Mr.. Cleveland is very slow to
comprehend the fact that the
Destiny business is played out.

A Fine Company.

Those who saw the presentation
Of "Ingomar, the Barbarian" by
the John s. Lindsay Dramatic
Company. at the Opera House last
evening, were fortunate. The play,
a classic one, was given with dra-
matte power rarely equaled.
John s. Lindsay is a remarkably
strong actor, doing some Of the
finest work seen on the stage, and
is far above most OF the actors
who storms the town as can be
imagined. Miss Luella Lindsay,
the leading lady, sustains the part
Parthena with great naturalness
her calculation and expression
being excellent. Mr.. Cosgrave
was good Polydore, and Miss
Mamie Lindsay played the Grecian
mother with good effect. "Damon

port generally is extra. The
troupe is unquestionably one Of

LINCOLN, Ncb., Dec. 24.-In his re-
port TO the Governor, giving an account
of the conduct of his office for the last
two years, Attorncy-Gcneral Lecse has
added some fuel to the excitement
growing out of the present political mud
die in this State by handling the trans
portation question without gloves and
advocating Government control of rail-
roads. In speaking Of the hoard Of
transportation, which is composed OF
five State officers, including the Attor-
ney-General, he says the present sys-
TEN is a complete failure. Experience
fully demonstrates that the railroads are
too powerful in their influence for the
people to expect much relief under the
present system. He recommends
that a maximum schedules of rates
should I've adopted by the Legislature on
n basis with other States similarly stu
ated. He thinks the railroads should be
made to understand that it is to their
interest to tighten the burdens OF the
people and not merely to make as large
a per cent. as possible for the Eastern
investor.
1.-THE rates charged to-day" he says,
fare large enough to yield a dividend
amounting in some cases TO 8 per cent
on stock that cost the stockholders moth
ing whatever but for the printing, and
the officers Of these roads use every eff
fort and strain every point to have the
stockholders Of their roads receive their
annual dividends, and they have to do
this to hold their jobs"

M ISL h.
LAWRENCE, Kan, Dec. 28.-SeveraL
students ut the Haskell Institute, the
Indian school here, have received letters
from their relatives in the Indian Terri
tory regarding the Messiah craze. Ono
of the letters is from q Caddo chief TO
his daughter. 1t is dated AnadarlSa,
and tells of the ghost dances. The
chief tells his daughter not to ridiculo
the coming of the Indian Christ, for she
knows nothing Of the wondrous mani
festations the Indians have received
from him regarding his appearance ON
earth again. He says that maybe some
time her Indian instincts will assert
themselves, and then she will come
back to her people, join in the dance
and make herself ready to receive the
Messiah. The old chief says the belief
is confined mostly to the good Indians,
and he regrets that the bad ones will not
mend their ways and accept the Christ.
Another of the aetters is from an un-
Gle to his nephew. This letter also tells
of the wonderful revelations that have
been made Mt the ghost dances, and Of
the marvellous interviews the inspired
Indians have had with the Messiah.
Some of the inspired Indians, says the
writer, have had interviews during
their frances with dead relatives, who
have told them to prepare for the COM
ing of Christ and not treat him as did
the white people of old. The writer
cautions his nephew not to reject the
Messiah until he has attended ghost
dance and has had an opportunity to
Judge himself of the evidence of the
coming of Christ.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, Dec. 24.-An

out the country on practical, economic
nj and political questions has been con-
Quoted on an extensive scale for the
past three months by the agricultural
press of Springfield, liberal prizes being
arranged so us to create discussion in
farmers organizations everywhere and
induce large poll of postal card bal
lots Nearly 10000 cards were re-
ceived answering these questions, among
others: Is Federal aid to agricultural
colleges and experiment stations wise
policy; should the rudiments of the
agricultural science be taught in the
public schools; will the new tariff help
American farming as whole; will the
proposed reciprocity with South Amer
len benefit our farmers; will reciprocity
with Canada help the farmers of the
United States; would it be wise to sus-
pend the homestead and presumption
laws, withdrawing from sale or occupa-
ton all public lands for agricultural and
grazing purposes for period of years,
in the hope that population and con-
sumption might catch up with produc-
ton and thus relieve agricultural de-
preston; should the Government own
and operate the telegraph; should the
Government own the railroads; who
should be the Republican and Demo-
cratic nominees for the Presidency in
1892?
The answers have been fully tabu-
lated only SO far as they relate to the
last question, bnt enough has been done

education and the teaching of agri-
cultural science in rural public schools

sentiment regarding Government own

such ownership Insist on Government
and full control of railroads.
The views expressed rs to the new tariff

Attempt to Wreck the Monitor Terror IN
Brooklyn Navy Yard.
New YORK, Dec. ga morning pa
per says: "a daring attempt was made
late Saturday afternoon to sink the
big double-turreted monitor, Terror,
at the Brooklyn navy yard. Thir-
ty inches of water were discovered
in her hold yesterday morning, but
the greatest quantity of the water had
been pumped out by evening. She Is
now lying at the dry dock. The at
tempt to sink the vessel was made just
as she was about to be foated out Of the
dry dock. 1t was not the fault OF the
miscreants that they did not succeed.
"The under water openings and sea
valves had been personally inspected by
officers of the construction department.
At noon on Saturday she was reported
ready for floating. Half an hour later
the startling cry arose that the water
was rushing in through the sea valve
connection. The big monitor was
settling. The most vigorous work upon
the part of the crew became necessary
to save her. The huge dock pump was
put in motion, spars were run out
from the side of the dock to steady
the vessel and by the aid of hawsers
she was held in place. The crew
finally succeeded in closing the sea
valves opening. They were covered
from the outside and, after thirty min
utes' hard work, the vessel was saved
Then the pumping began in earnest" e.
