A Pointed Letter From the Kentucky Ed
itOr on Presidential Aspirations.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Feb. 1.-THE Balti-
more Sun publishes the following spe-
cial dispatch from its Washington cor
respondent: ga recent New York dis
patch which has been widely circulated
set forth at some length that Governor
Hills conclusion to come to the Senate
was because of a letter written by
Henry Watterson at the request of a
Democratic Senatorial caucus"
The contents of the letter are as
sumed to be as follows:
Hon. David B. Hill:
COURIER JOURNAL OFFICE, LOUISVILLE,
Ky, Nov. q, IssO.-AIy Dear Sir: I take leave
to address you this letter as one of some
millions of Democrats who have never
sought or held Office, and who could not be
induced to do so; but who are deeply CON
cerned in the party welfare and who believe
you to hold the key to it.
Outside of the State of New York there is
a well nigh unanimous demand among the
rank and file of the Democrats for the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Cleveland. This is too strong
for the party leaders and managers to resist.
think have some influence in Kentucky.
But on that point / should be overwhelmed
in State convention. If you should come
to a National convention with a New York
delegation solid against 1t, you would be
overwhelmed. You are powerless to pre-
vent it.
But you can defeat the election of the
ticket There are Democrats in every part
o: the Union who believe that you did this
in 1888. know that to be false. know eX-
actly what happened and have steadily
defended you in public and in private But
it will cling to you as long as you live-even
fha har in inf nd anti ions
chung to Clay-and will meet you in every
National convention, if it be not dissipated
by some act on your part great enough to
blot it out. In default of this if you have
any hope of the Presidency it will defeat
that.
My judgment is clear that, if you could
reconcile it with your Judgment and feeling,
to make peace with Mr.. Cleveland and to
take delegation TO the National convention
IN 1892 to put him in nomination, you will
save the party and place yourself upon an
elevation you can never attain il you fail to
do It. You will be received by the country
with enthusiasm, be accepted at once as a
Warwick, and do not see how you could be
kept out of the succession. On the other
hand, even IL you succeed in defeating the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland, you will stand
upon sinister and dangerous ground, with a
stormy future before you.
These are words, and 1 have no relations
with you which give me the right to offer
you counsels. They may be disagreeRble
words, and have no desire to obtrude upon
your privacy. But they are true words, and
claim the right Of q Democrat who has
some knowledge of the country at large, and
has given some devotion to che party's in
terests, to ignore ceremony and send them
to you. In conclusion let me say that shall
in any event be glad to know you better. and
that, meanwhile, I am most sincerely your
friend, HENRY WATTERsoN

The Tide Turned.

Here is a true tale of business life in
New York. Once upon time young
man got employment as a clerk in the
establishment of a prosperous mer-
chant, who paid him fairly for faithful
services and treated him well according
to his worth, so that his mind was con-
tented as time sped along. In the
course of years, and in the vicissitudes
of fortune, the merchant failed, went
out of business, and fell into poverty.
In the meanwhile the clerk, who was of
a frugal turn of mind, had saved enough
of his income to begin business, where
upon he set up his establishment, took
as a clerk the man who had once been
his employer, paid him fairly for faith
full service, and treated him well, so
that both are now contented as time
speeds along.-N. Y. Sun

TOPEKA, Feb. 13.-Today is the
first day of the last half of the legisla-
tive session and practically nothing
has been accomplished. Only three
bills have gone to the governor for sig
nature and the indications are that
they will be followed by mighty few
more. 1t would be well if it could be
so arranged by Providence that moth
ing but the appropriation bills should
be sent up. The house is not likely to
do a single good thing for the state and
the senate will not allow it to do bad
one.
The house today adopted a resolu-
tion declaring that eastern papers
which said Kansas would repudiate
her debts were liars and that the
aforesaid debts would be paid. 1t will
be glad news to the creditors IF some
of the members, Us many of them do
not enjoy a remarkably good record as
debtors.
Dickinson ; representatives have &C
complished little. 1t was supposed
when they we're elected that Mr.. Har-
vey would 90 enough good to counter
balance the competency Of Mr.. Sem.
The facts are, however, that Mr.. Sem
has done nearly all the talking. There
is scarcely a day that he is not on the
floor making a fiery union labor, anar-
chistic speech. Mr.. Karvey on the
other hand, either because he was for
merly a republican or because OF
national dihidence has hardly been
noticed. He was given nothing but
obscure committee positions and
though 1 have been in the house al
most daily have not seen him on bis
feet once. He seems content to let the
other fellows boss the job. AS they
are making such a bungliDg job he is
really doing a service by not joining
them. Perhaps he is disguised.

ThE CHEROKEE STRR.
Evident Signs That 1t VIII Be Open For

Evident Signs That 1t VIII Be Open For
Settlement Before Many Weeks.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The House
Committee on Territories has agreed
upon a report concerning the Cherokee
Strip. 1t will recommend the passage
of a substitute for the Mansur bill pro-
viding that the Strip be opened to set
Element. The Mansur bill proposed
that the Indians should be paid sl.25 an
acre, the money to be paid as the en-
tries were made, but the substitute
agreed upon provides that a commission
shall settle with the Indians for the
price of their lands after the Strip has
been restored to public domain. This is
pretty near the same bill reported on
January 90 by the House Committee on
Indian Affairs as a substitute for the
Perkins bill The committee does not
entertain much hope that the bill will
pass the Senate, but it is pretty certain
that an effort will be made to get 1t
through the House. The report Is
signed by all the members of the Terri
torial Committee except Barnes. OF
Georgia, and Baker, of New York, and
there is undoubtedly a strong senti-
ment in the House favoring the passage
of some measure of this kind.
The leaders in Congress on both sides,
as well as officials of the Interior De-
partment, have grown very tired OF the
treatment accorded the Cherokee Com
mission, and the apparent disincltna-
ton Of the Cherokees to even consider
or listen to a fair proposition for the
purchase Of the Strip. They have been
offered several times a fair price for
the lands-probably twice what they
are worth-and the only answer thus
far has been a dignifed silence, inter
rupted by an occasional outburst Of dis
courtesy on the part of the Cherokees.
1t is proposed now to open the Cherokee
Strip and settle with the Indians after
ward, the Government having already
paid Az cents an acre for $500, 900
acres.
There will be considerable opposition

gland members of the Senate, but there

They hitched up pony to a buggy,

shape of two revolvers and a razor,
borrowed some filthy lucre and sailed
forth on their expedition after dark
ness had prevailed. Their parents
when they discovered the boys absence
