ANOTHER ELECTION BILL.
The Senate Materially Modifies tn,
Lodge Measure.

The Senate Materially Modifies the
Lodge Measure.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-[By the AS
sociated Press. Among the changes
which the Senate committee made in
the substitute for the Lodge Election
bill, which was reported to the Senate
today, were the following: All refer
ence to that section of the Revised
Statutes which, it was claimed, pro-
vides for the presence of troops at the
polls,S was stricken out. The House-to-
house canvass provided for in the
House bill. was stricken out and the
provision for drawing juries by COM
missioners is also omitted. The penal
offenses were simplified and made
misdemeanors instead of felonies. The
punishments were modified the highest
punishment imposed being three years
imprisonment and fine OF one thous-
and dollars as against imprisonment
for five years and fine OF one thousand
dollars in the House bill.
The Judge of the Circuit Court before
whom application is made for the ap-
pointment of supervisors is authorized
to appoint, as supervisor any person he
may see fit, not being confined in his
selection to the list furnished by the
chief supervisor. In cases where bal
lots are placed in the wrong box, these
are not to be counted unless the tally
shows the votes for Congressman do
not equal the whole number of names
on the poll list. Then enough of the
votes so wrongly cast shall be added to
the tally sheet to make the total equal
to the whole number of votes shown to
to be cast.
Where election officers refuse to
administer oaths to voters applying
therefor, it is provided in the bill that
the supervisors shall administer oaths,
but no effort shall be made to have the
vote thus refused cast, the object being
merely to preserve the testimony of the
application and refusal.

the writer Of this who hereby de-
nounces him as a liar as he deserves.
The statement that the Bonilla
agency had mOnopolized the Mexican
Central has provoked laughter here
abouts. The Bonilla agency has never
sent out line of news to any newspa-
per, and Cruise lies when he so states.
In regard to the last charge, of inter-
cepting kilograms. 1 will say that q
few days ago the New York Star said
that it was strange that Mr.. Blaine
could not communicate by cable with
Guatemala and that it was unusually
strange that Mr.. Blaine had heard
from Mr.. Miner at Guatemala by an
other line (the Bonilla agency.) This
proves that Cruise has lied, for
MINERS messages through the
Bonilla agency always reached Blaine
while the latter's messages to Miner
by cable failed to reach their destina-
tion. The reason for this is plain.
La Libertad, through which the cable
reaches Guatemala, is in Salvador and
since June 22d communication through
thatpointha been stopped. The cable
company knowing this has failed to
refuse messages for Guatemala. Our
agency has promptly dispatched all
kilograms. Even yesterday the BOnilla
agency transmitted over two hundred
words from Miner to Blaine. II we
had ever intercepted their kilograms
we would not be further trusted with
them. We have no monopoly; any
person or persons can engage in the
business we carry on. In fact there
is now here, in Ell Paso, Juda
Rodrigues Casti dejon the secretary
of the Guatemalan legation at the
City of Mexico, who is transmitting the
official messages of his government.
For two years our agency has handled
kilograms for both Cruise and Baiz and
their governments. In fact not eight
hours ago, had in my hand messages
for both Of them. The fact is they
have patronized our service because it
is efficient, prompt and cheap. We
have but two connecting offices in the
United States, while the cable has six
before reaching Galveston.
In regard to the charge that we have
refused the Associated Press our news,
it is answered by the simple statement
that we have not dealt in news, but wo
would be happy to serve them as soon
as peace is restored in Central America.
Your obedient servant,
JOSE DIEZ DE BONILLA.

views with Minister Cruise and Consul

communication between Secretary
Blaine and Minister Miner at Guate-

Ell PAso, (Texas,) Aug. 7. 1890.
To the Editor Of the TiHaes-MUCH Es-
TEEMED FRIEND: I was surprised to
lind in your issue today clipping
from the New York Star wherein the
Guatemalan minister Cruise and Con-
sui General Baiz attack my family
and the telegraDhic agency con-
Quoted by myself and brothers
who reside at the capital of Guatemala.
In answer L Degln Dy saying CnaC as our
telegraphic business is not participated
in by my father nothing should be said
of him. In regard to the representa-
tiOns and complaints made by Minister
Cruise and Consul Baiz I am in posi-
tion to say that they lie and shall have
the.pleasure of having this fact come
before the world as soon as Mr.. Blaine,
the Mexican minister and Mr. Miner
terminated their investigations. Ali
they have said to the Star is tissue of
falsehoods and would bring the blush
TO the face of gentleman. Mr.. Cruise
says he was indignant to learn of a
syndicate that monopolized the tele-
graphic communication with the seat
of war and that the syndicate consisted
of the Bonilla family. Mr.. Cruise lies
when he says my father is connected
with our business. He also lies
when he says one of my
brothers is stationed at the Liberated
part of Salvador and the only instance
wherein he does not lie is in locating
one of the brothers here with offices
in Paso del Norte and Ell Paso Tex,

Failure of Kansas Crops.

TOPEKA, (Kan.,) Aug. THE Kan
sas State Board of Agriculture has re-
ports from about five hundred CORES
pondents representing every county
In the State. These indicate that
growing crops in every portion have
been seriously injured. The severe
droutn, intense heat and occasional
hot winds prevailing have been the
cause of falling off of corn prospects.
Its condition, which one month ago
was reported at 80 per cent. is now SO
per cent. of the average crop. 1t is
safe to say the corn crop this year will
not exceed seYenty-fiye million bushels.

Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, ID. c. Aug. 7.-[By
the Associated Press.] The Interstate
Commerce Commission announced it's
decision today in the case of the San
Bernardino Board of Trade against the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and
others, in favor of the complainant.
The complaint alleged that the rail-
road companies charged more on GER
tain specified commodities from Mis-
souri, river points and st. Louis, Chi
cago, Cincinnati, Detroit and New
York to San Bernardino, CAL, than for
longer distance over the same lines
to Los Angeles. The points decided are
briefly stated as follows: Where the
complaint alleges that the greater
charge in aggregate for transportation
of like kind of property is made for the
shorter than for the longer distances
over the same line in the same direc-
tion, the shorter being included in the
longer, and that unlawful preference
is thereby given to one locality over
another, it is held: The complaint is
sufficient to put the carriers on proof
that the services were rendered under
such dissimilar circumstances as to JUS
tify the greater charge. Water COM
petition which will justify a greater
charge for shorter distance by rail-
roads must be actual. Possible COM
petition will not justify such greater
charge under provisions of the fourth
section of the act to regulate commerce.
The filing of schedule rates with the
commission as required by the statue
raises no presumption as to the legality
of such rates, and no omission or fail
ure to challenge or disprove schedules
of rates SO filed can have the effect OF
making rates lawful which are unrea-
sonable.

Glendine out by a bare head in 2-2714.
JmiLeach was third. Danger fourth

heat was distanced.
Bob Mason tickets were valuable

dimes hackers stuck to him, though,
and bought him at odds of two to one
against the entire field. When
they got the word Bob Mason
was we'll in his stride and
went off in the lead, At the quarter
pole he was half length to the good of
Glendine and at the half there was a
length of daylight between them. AS
they swung into the second turn Glend-
inc began to close up, and when they got
to the head of the stretch he was two
lengths in front and the race was over.
Maben rustled Glendine all down the
stretch and landed him under the
wire in 2:231s, the fastest heat trotted
on the track this season.

As early as 1900 Americans were
fully alive to the fact that there was
a value to real estate in and around
cities of this country which cid not
attach to that of any other nation in
the world.
The cause of this is easily under
stood when we stop to think that in
ali other countries up to that time
real property belonged largely not
To the individual but to line of i'll
heritance-a pcrpetuity that offered
no incentive To acquisition or trade.
At that time all mercantile pursuits
and trades we're looked upon as be-
meath the dignity of genteel peo-
pie. and as IA vulgar adjunct of life
which contributed remotely to their
comfort. Hence men who dealt in
real estate in a commercial way
were looked upon as little better than
professional gamblers. This did
not apply to agents alone-ior they
were little more than servants-but
to anyone who was known to be
dabbIing in real estate.
Foreigners and descendants Of no,
bility living in this country could
not perceive that the will of the peo-
ole was the sovereign of this nation,
and that individual was al equal
part of the sovereignty, thus attach
ing To them IA right or joint owner
ship of the nation whose property
they could acquire aud convert 10y
legitimate means into individual
hOllings-absolutely III their COLI
troll, giving them the right to buy
and sell as they please. This value
is best re llzed when we think it was
an opening for the poorer classes
to acquire homes, and with comnen-
dable vigOr they sought to secure
property as quick Y as possible. The
progressive had faith III his govern
mpnt, in his country and his town,
and when he had secured his home
he added to his holdings and ''prO
vided for a rainy day" 10y taking ad-
vantage of his knowledge and oppor-
tunities and buying a piece of
property which he knew someone
would come along and want, and
that, too, within very few years,
and at price which would net
handsome profit. From that day
till now this has been practiced
with profit by the wide awake peo-
pie in every walk of American life
1t has worked its way across the
continent from east to west and from
north to south, till nearly every
point in America has had period
Of unusual prosperity which of late
years has been designated by the
suggestive name of booms. Several
years ago California headed all COM
petitors and tor several years led the
procession not only of the Pacific
coast but of the entire country.
Hardly had its spirit began to wane
when Washington Territory, with
all the vigor of a dashing youth,
sprang to the front and has led up
to the present time.

Remember that it is the emblem of

Girls, it is very important that
you, too study and love this flag.
You will be the sweethearts, wives
and mothers of these and other law
makers and rulers. TO your in
fluence will be largely accredited the
quality Of future citizenship. See
to it that you countenance no deris-

you instil into the hearts of those
Sver whom your influence extends a
reverence for it and "A loyalty toward
your country that will insure al
ways an army Of defenders when in
peril, that can only be numbered by
taking the entire census roll.
Ny young friends, it is impossible
for you to fully realise the feelings
engendered in the breast of an old
soldier by glance at the old f tars
and stripes. They have been to him
hope, and inspiration and a source
Of cheer in many an emergency
when all these influences were sorely
needed; he offered his life that that
flag might continue to represent
union undivided, a constitution un-
broken and a universal freedom fully
established. These things accomp-
lished the banner which was the
soldiers joy in his tribulations of
war is now, as age is whitening his
hair, dimming his eye and remind
him that he can gaze upon those
dear folds only little longer, more
beautiful in its conception and more
glorious iD its meaning than ever
before.
Pupils of the Salem public school.
AS this flag was hope, inspiration
and cheer to the soldier fighting the
battles of war for it's preservation,
may its folds inspire you to earnest
ly and steadfastly fight against
wrong and for the good, the true
and the beautiful. Remember that
loyalty to the flag and fidelity to
the right will ever be an inspiration
to true patriotism.
Let, then, each public school possess
The flag whose virtues we confess,
TO teach our country's hope-the young
The sources whence this goodness sprung,
And ever keep before their eyes,
A token OF the sacrifice
Offered by freemen, true and brave,
Our liberties to gain and save.

SO that the banner of thy choice,
Might wave to make the world rejoice.
