MAJOR MCKINLEY is in favor of free
silver. He probably thinks that the peo-
pie cannot have too much OF it to pay the
high prices he has fixed.-LChicago Post.
McKiAiey, according to Farmer
Bryan, was for free silver last Fall,
pending the election, but since that
time, we learn he has been hedging.
The Major owes it to the public to
state, with some degree of accuracy,
Just how he stands on that question.

Senator eorman For President.

WASHINGTON, Feb. M.-[Special. l.
There is considerable quiet talk among
Democratic leaders that Senator German,
OF Delaware, may become a formidable
candidate for President in case the con
iiict between Cleveland and Hill contin-
ues. There is no Western Democrat as
yet who looms up with prominence as a
candidate. 1t is conceded that Governor
Campbell will be a prominent factor
should he carry Ohio this year.

The Democratic party will give the

A Reply.

Mr.. EDITOR l beg to take exceptions
to your Explanatory article of Mon
days issue, in re the Great Register, as
being misleading through perversion Of
certain facts.
You say Application was made by
the Elele to the Gazette and Press
binderies to have the work done for it,
but without success" So far az my
bindery-situate in the Press office-is
concerned, estimates were given alike to
all bidders applying therefor, three in
number, and no obstacle was sought to
be Put in the Elele's way because it un-
derbid the Press Co. in which was in
terested, but on the contrary, matters
were under discussion for modifying the
time on certain portions OF the work.
Any unbusiness-like proposition" to
be declined would have come with better
grace prior to bidding rather than after
the awarding of the job.
The remarks relative to the Gazette
Co. being compelled to buy Mr.. Rase.
mans bindery," since nothing would
have been more unfortunate for the
place than the shipping away OF an
office and fixtures SO much needed here
as bindery" savors rather of the phil
anthropic. But it shows either willful
depreciating of much older established
concern, or an admission OF ignorance as
to competitors facilities.
In this last article, as also in the one
of last week, the Press Office printing
facilities are also Intentionally be-
Titled am happy to state that, SO
far, it has proved equal to all work en-.
trusted to it, and any delay in the exc
cution of the former printing of the
Great Register would have been an ex-
perience to profit by and guard against,
as it is expected the Gazette Co. will do.
Now, Mr.. Editor, there is nothing OF
"sour grapes" in the foregoing. The
Gazette Go. got fairly what they bid for,
and I know OF none who envy them
their job at their figures. Self-laudation
may be commendable and advertising
ones facilities perfectly legitimate, but
protest against its being done at the ex-
pense Of injustice to me and my inter-
ests, as in the published statements re-
ferred to. Respectfully yours,

ILOCUSTS IN AUSTRALIA.
Some of the Efforts to Destroy
Them.

10cn.
In order to check, if possible, the
annual plague of locusts that devour
the heritage and blast the hopes of
graziers, farmers and fruit-growers
to a greater or less extent in De-
cember, the Victorian Government
proclaimed the 7th and 9Th of
November as holidays for the
scholars and schoolmasters in the
rural districts, in order that they
might cooperate with the settlers
in destroying the young losusts In
the early stage of their develop
ment before they had been equipped
with wings, enabling them to take
q flight over the country to begin
their work of devastation.
With this end in view prepare
tons were made in numerous parts
OF the interior to destroy the pests
in various ways, such as beating
with branches the beds in the fields
where the as yet wingless Great
ures were known to exist, or har-
rowing the ground, or turning
tiocks of sheep upon the land and
moving them rapidly about so as
tread upon and kill or injure the
young brood, and slso by spread
ing straw over the plague spots
and setting fire to it. Recently the
reports came that the creatures
massed themselves so thickly along
some of the lines of railways that,
although the brakes were shut
down, the train could not be
brought to a stand still until they
had gone half a mile beyond the
stations owing to the multitudes
crushed beneath the wheels, caus-
ing the trains to pass along as if
the rails were covered with oil.
The wheels actually slid along the
rails. In MANY of the northern
towns the inhabitants had to close
their doors to keep out the invad-
ing hosts.-[PaIl Mali Budget.

JAPANESE NEWS.

We are indebted to the courtesy
Of the Hon. Paul Neumann for a
file Of late Japan Daily Mail. The
most important public event is the
closing of the first session of the
Japanese Legislature.
The closing ceremony of the
Diet, as it is invariably spoken Of,
was performed on the 9TH of this
month in the Imperial Palace. The
more moderate papers of all parties
seem tolerably satisfied on the
whole with the fruits of this first
session. "Journals that distin-
guished themselves by unfavorable
criticisms of the members of the
Diet, now admit that, with all it's
shortcomings and b!unders, the
Legislature has acquitted itself IN a
creditable manner" The organ of
the Progressionist party, observes
that "due allowance must be made
on account of the infancy of the
representative system of Govern
ment in japan" and that from this
point OF view " the first session of
the first Diet in an oriental state
has ended in a manner far more
satisfactory than many people
would have expected"
Among foreigners in Japan the
most important event is the death,
on the 10th March, of the Hon.
John F. Swift, Envoy Extraordin-
airy and Minister Plenipotentiary
of the United States in Japan, at
the age of 81 years, within few
days.
The funeral took place on the
18th inst. The body had been car
ried on the evening before to the
American Episcopal Church in
Tsukiji, and rested under military
escort during the night, the coffin
lying before the chancel covered
with with III American ensign, under o
mass of wreaths and floral devices.
The church, by far the largest of
Episcopal churches in Tokyo, could
not contain the large assemblage
gathered to pay the last tribute OF
respect to the memory of the de-
ceased.

Empress were represented by the

close of the last hymn the coffin
was carried to the hearse, which
moved off, under salute of minute
guns from the ships, to the railway
terminus where the official cere.

and sympathy have been adopted

having been perpetrated in Guzawa,
where Mr.. Nakajima, in charge OF

tional Bank, and his whole family
to the number of six We're murdered
as they lay asleep. Mr.. Nakajima
had as usual put the key Of the safe
into chest of drawers in " go
down" communicating with the
main house. The traces of bloody
feet were found from the sleeping
apartments to the goodwin" the
drawers had been forced and the
key taken out, but something dis
turbed the murderers, the key was
flung into a corner and the safe
with 1000 yen was untouched.
Some 10000 yen, however. were
taken from other places, and some
clothes, etc. The police believe
that the capture Of the criminals is
only question of time.
