Topeka, Kan, Jan. 2l.-The combi-

along expressed great confidence OF
breaking when the proper time came re-
fused to fall 10 pieces In the joint session
OF the legislature yesterday afternoon,
when the selection Of state printer was
made. f. III. Snow was selected by the
alliance caucus Monday night, and he
was elected by the joint session with an
overwhelming majority. The democrats
showed their hand, voting with
the alliance, thus showing hope
OF a beneficial compromise. SHOWS
election is especially significant from
the fact that he was strongly opposed by
Speaker Elder. both being from the same
county and that the action yesterday
practically winds up the alliance leaders
chances to succeed senator Ingalls,. The
soiidity and inseparable unison shown
by the opposition to-day has cast gloom
over all the republican camp and u Is
hard TO find o man In Topeka who has
the courage 10 declare that Ingalls, has
even fair show. Some OF his Intimate
friends and most earnest workers OK
press great doubts, vouchsafing the in
formation that the senator was losing
strength daily, and that even the repub-
licans were relapsing into discourage
ingly apathstic state. In the meantime
the opposition IL working night and day.

AGAINST FREE COINAGE.
Boston Business Men Hold q Meeting and
Protest.

BOsTON, Mass, Jan. 21.-Faneuil hall
was packed yesterday with the substan-
tial business men of Boston, gathered at
The call OF Mayor Matthews to formally
protest against the free coinage OF sill
yer. The platform was occupied by
some or the most distinguished states
men, ananeiers and educators OF Massa-
ehnsetts. A number of addresses were
made. Gen. II. A. Walker deprecated the
admission into the union of new states 20
neatralize the influence OF older commit
tees, and said the free coinage OF silver
was dishonest and destructive. The
principal speech was made by Hon. Ed
ward Atkinson. He said in part: "A
small fraction Of senators from there
mote border states have com bined to-
gether as the representatives Of silver
mines rather than Of the people TO force
into circulation a dollar made OF silver
which the unit OF value must be tried-A
test by fire. The silver dollar Is not true
standard. IL may be worth 20, 80,
or even 100 cents for a while, and yet no
one can tell what IL will be- worth
next week, month or year. Such dol
lar IL not iit 10 be the standard or unit
Of value of great commercial nation.
Faneuil hall calls upon the great west
and the great west will surely respond.
We do not call upon the sparsely settled
border states, whose total product of sill
yer mines Is not equal in value TO the
hens eggs annually produced In the
barnyards Of the country, not one
even equal In value to the pOul-
try and eggs of poor New Eng
land. Farmers, workmen, manufacturers
and all the solid sense of this country Is
against the measure" In conclusion
Atkinson said: Let us call upon the
executive and Legislature Of the state TO
see % IL that an act Is passed TO this
end, that In all contracts entered into
after the passage OF this act, in which
dollars are named In promise, the courts
shall construe that the dollar meant and
promised is the best dollar that can be
made--a dollar Of gold coin"
Resolutions against free coinage were
adopted.

CEDAR RArTDs, Ia, Jan. 2l.-Some
three months ago Geo. Spaulding, sa-
loonkeeper, was fined $500 and costs for
q violation of the law. Up to time OF
q week ago he had paid 500 of this fine,
when he left the town and attempted TO
ship his stock of liquors. The sheriff,
learning OF IL, seized them while In tran
sit 20 the depot and now adyertlses the
entire stock for sale at auction. This Is
the tiTst instance known where liquors
seized In prohibition state have been
offered for sale by officials. The sheriff
claims, however, that he has the right
10 do this, and his opinion IL conenrred
In by prominent members OF the bar.
. The matter will probably be decided In
the courts.
