ests OF parties. The highest part of
citizenship with them Is membership in
party, and they realize universally that
the only possible power of the citizen is
to be eapplied through the political power
Of his party.
zone habit Of the Old World, its So
cial habit, which leads to the formation
Of clubs, the association of kindred splr-
its and the utilization of all honorable
forces in party interest, is worthy of
study by Americans. AS this country
has grown to older years the social
habit has become more marked, and
an impulse has developed in the last
twenty-five years toward club life which
has been surprising and noble thing in
our social fabric in this generation.
The impulse to social club organization
in cities and towns especially has been
marked. 1t has permeated still more
the ranks Of the working people, who
have learned In this way to mobilize
their strength for the protection Of
their own interests. 1t has reached the
farm. 1t first appeared in the forms Of
the Patrons Of HUsbandry. 1t was con-
tinued in the Grange, and has last ap-
peared in the Alliance"
Here is what he said about the Farm
ers' Alliance:
"The Farmers Alliance illustrates So
cial power in politics, for it is more q
growth of social hunger than Of political
thought. The nation has seen how it
has made every Alliance club a recruit
ing force for its organization and
an intellectual headquarters for the dis
semination Of It's literature and the dis
cussion of its principles. In every
neighborhoOd of this land, in every
farm community, there is room and de-
mand for a Republican club, holding It's
sessions through the Autumn and Win
ter months principally, and devoted tC
literature and social as we'll as politica
life; and the Republican party will 6t
wise, in my Judgment, ii it shall estao
lish such free parliament for the dis
cussion Of public affairs in every neigh
borhood in the United States.
The revival of interest is the mos
encouraging thing in politics. To tint
Republican party especially, which Il
willing to trust it's fate to its merits ant
to the test Of argument, it is cheering
sign; but it may be we'll to wisely usl
this revived interest to set Repuoll
can club in every community In TN

A VERY FISHY STORY
In Connection With the Murder Of Dr..

THE MAN WHODROVE THEWAGON

New York, July ls.-The Morsiag
Advertiser prints rather hshy story
about the man who is supposed TO have
driven the white horse which took DIR.
Cronin to his death. The story in part
is as follows:
Immediately after the conviction OF
the prisoners an Irishman who called
himself Peter Deane, and who lived In
Lakeview, not far from the Carlston
Cottage, quietly left Chicago and went
to Canada. Deane was dog fancier
and dealer In birds. he was quiet,
reserved man, and apparently took no
greater interest in the Cronin mystery
than did his neighbors. He attended to
his business every day, and when, In De-
cember, 1889, he shut up his shop and
disappeared, no particular curiosity was
aroused.
''It was not known to the people In
Lakeview, however, that Deane bad
been in daily communication with q
prominent member OF the Clan-na-Gael
ever since the trial began, nor was II

for nearly a year. and then went back
to Chicago. From Chicago he was
ordered TO go to New York. Upon his
arrival there he went TO On obscure
hotel In the South Side, and remained
until he was notified to meet the man
who WAS directing his movements.
When this meeting took place the

New YORK, July 19.-Robert Howe,
young book makers clerk, has been
arrested on charge of stealing $40, 900
case of diamonds from the jewelry
establishment of Carl Warnicke, No. 10
West Twenty-eighth street. The rob-
berry occurred on February 9th last, and
the police have been working on the
case constantly. On that date Howe,
or a man who very closely resembles
him. called at the iewelry store with a
handsomely dressed woman who said
she wanted to purchase some diamonds.
The couple had visited the store twice
before and had made few purchases,
so that every attention was paid them.
While the woman was examining
some things, the man walked about the
store aud finally went out for cigar.
He returned In FIVE minutes, and the
woman, who had decided to make no
purchase, went out with him. The
tray of diamonds were Immediately
missed and it was remembered that the
mans overcoat bulged at the breast
when he went out for his cigar. The
couple had said their names were De-
ford, but this was found to be false, and
detectives traced them to the Hotel
Metropole, where he had been living
with two women under the name OF
Howell. Before they could make an
arrest the parties cleared out, and 1t
was not until Friday night that they
came upon Howe in Broadway. He
answered the description of the thief,
and they took him in. He was remanded
to the custody of Inspector ByrneS, and
now detectives are looking for the
women fn the case.

mittee. Senator Quay Says.
PHILADELPHIA, July 19.-All the
local Republican leaders who were in
town yesterday admitted that they had
knowledge of of Senator Quay's In
tention to resign as Chairman Of the
National Committee. Senator Quay
stated at the close Of the last campaign
that he would not hold the position OF
Chairman in another Presidential cam
paign under any consideration. Fordays
and nights he said, after the election
he could not sleep. He has been
troubled with insomnia ever since, and
his friends have known for long time
past that he could not be Induced by
any possible consideration to hold the
craftsmanship in the coming presidential
campaign.
The fact was developed yesterday
that before the departure of ex-Inter nal
Revenue Collector Martin on his West

Quay and others, at which it was detii-
nitely stated that he would resign the
craftsmanship not later than September,
and that General John S. Clarkson

A Farmer Judge of Kansas VIII Not
Listen to the Supreme Body.
Topeka, July 19.-G. w. Mckay,
the Alliance Judge in the Twenty
fourth district, who never read page
of law until after his election last fall,
has openly rebelled against the Su-
preme Court, and yesterday placed a
warrant In the hands of the County
! Coroner for the arrest OF the sheriff,
who had refused TO obey his orders
under instructions OF the supreme
Court.
This was the second positive refusal
OF Mckay to be bound by the ruling OF
the Supreme Court in the attempted

wealth Loan and Trust Company. Pro-
ceedings were instituted by attorneys
for the loan company this afternoon TO
have Mckay appear before the Supreme
Court, when contempt proceedings will
be commenced.
Mckay was the only Alliance judge
elected last fall. He is farmer and
admitted never having read law, but
the three counties which compose his
district are strongly Alliance, and he
was elected by an overwhelming major
ity. The Alliance TO which he belongs
has taken deep interest in the fore
closure case now pending, and at It's
last meeting adopted resolutions declar-
ing that the owner of the farm was en-
titled to the crop instead of the mort
gage company.
do
Kay in the interest OF the owner to have
the agent for the loan company, Mr..
Burr, who had been given charge Of the
place by a former judge, dismissed.
Judge Mckay granted the motion, and
the mortgage company appealed TO the
Supreme Court.
The District Judge was over-ruled
and the agent again given charge.
Judge Mckay issned another order
compelling the agent to vacate, and
upon his refusal to do so placed war
rant for his arrest in the hands OF the
Sheriff and fined him $50 for contempt.
On the advice OF his attorneys the
agent refused to pay the fine and was
lodged in JAIL Haoess corpus proceed
ings were instituted before the Supreme
Court and the Sheriff was instructed to
turn the prisoner loose. Friday Judge
Mckay, notwithstanding the order Of
the Supreme Court, instructed the Sher-
iff to again arrest Burr. The Sheriff,
acting upon the instructions OF the Su-
preme Court, refused, and the Alliance
Judge placed warrant in the hands OF
the Coroner for the arrest OF the Sheriff
and another for the arrest of the agent.
The Coroner has not as yet made
either arrest. The only member OF the
Supreme Court In the city Is Judge VAL
entine. The decisions on the case
which the former Judge has refused to
obey were given by Chief Justice
Horten, who Is now In Colorado fer the
summer.
After his election, and before taking
his seat last fall, Judge Mckay an
nounced his intention of taking course

but compromise by attending a weeks
sitting OF the Supreme Court. His only
knowledge Of law was acquired by at
tending as referee in equity cases by
appointment from the District Judge.
There are eleven other District Judges
to be elected this fall, and the indica-
tions are that the Alliance will elect q
majority OF them.

Charged With Bribery In Connectlon Win
Street Railway.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, July l9.-Quite
sensation was caused here by charges OF
corruption against Toronto Aldermen
in connection with an agreement with q
certain company composed Of Cleveland9
Buffalo and Toronto capitalists for the
operation of the Toronto Street Rail-
way. The thirty-year agreement
with the old company expired a
few months ago and the city pur-
chased the street railway plant at cost
of 81. SAC. 900, and called for tenders for
the operation of the line. There were
only two tenders that were seriously
considered. One was from pany
of prominent Toronto capitalists ana
the other was George w. Kiely, OF To-
months ago, and MIR. Everett, we'll
known capitalist and street railway
owner of Cleveland.
Baroch Mailer. of Buffalo, has been
acting as agent for Mr.. Everett in the
matter. The Toronto company was
working hard 10 secure the line, and it
was thought at one time it would sue
ceed, but the City Council this week de-
cided that the proposal Of the Everett
Kiely company was the most favorable
one and entered into an agreement to
hand over the road to it.
Mr.. j. K. Kerr, prominent city law
yer and member of the Toronto COM
pany referred to, at meetinn of the
City Council at which the decision TO ac-
cept the proposal Of the Everett Kiely
company was arrived at, and just before
the vote was taken on the matter did
all he could to persuade the
Aldermen that the proposal of his COM
pany was the most favorable for the
city; and then threw out rather more
than vague hint that the Aldermen
had been over susceptible to money
from Cleveland, used to influence their
decision in the matter.
The Aldermen decided to accet the
proposal of the Everett-Kiely Company.
But the fat was in the fire, and we'll
known citizen, ex-Alderman Z. A. Mac
Donald, determined that the matter
should not rest here. He applied to the
courts to-day for an injunction
to restrain the Aldermen from
entering into an agreement
wieh the Everett-K Kiely Company. Mac
Donald made an affidavit charging that
money was paid to the Aldermen to in
fluence their votes in behalf of the sue
cessful tendererS, and has obtained per-
mission to examine certain Aldermen,
when, il evidence in any way juStlfies
the charge, an iniuaction will doubtless
be granted.
Everett says Mailer acted as agent
for him in the matter, and, in the event
of his tender being accepted, Mailer
was to be paid $4,000. That was all
the interest he had in the matter per-
sonally, and Mr.. Everett says the idea
OF Mailer doing anything crooked or
attempting to bribe Aldermen is false.
Mailer was once President of the Cleve-
land Board of Education.

DIS. Newton and Raiusfo'd
Will be Disciplined.
THEIR LlBERALITY OF VIEWS
Too Much for tho EpIscopaIian
church-Dr. Ralnsford Admitted
a Hereto to the Privileges OF
tho Church During Lent:

NRw YoRE, March 2S.-some Clergy.
men Of this town propose to discipline
two of the best known and most popular
pastors Of New York, the Rev. Df. W. 8.
Rainsiord, rector Of St. Georges parish,
and the Rev. DR.. Hsber Newton, Of All
Souls church. Their ofense seems TO be
too great "liberality" Of views.
The liberality of Rev. Rainsford in in.
vitiug ministers of other denominations
than the Episcopal to occupy his pulpit
a year ago drew out g protest, which he
saw ct to ignore.
It Is asserted that in arranging the
Lenten services DR.. Rainsiord not only
invited non.E .Episcopalian clergymen, but
admitted a "HeretiG" to theprivileges Of
the church.
The utterances of the Rev. Heber
Newton on topics Of public and religious
interest, have stirred up enmity. His
right TO deliver opinions is not ques-
toned, but 1t Is held by the projectors
OF the present movement that as he Is
Clergyman his utterances should CORE.
spond to the teachings OF his church.
The influence Of the example Of Dr.'s
Newton and Rainstord is held to be per-
nicious, particularly as the latter has in
vited Unitarian TO occupy his pulpit
on Good Friday. A protest has been
prepared which is now being signed by
the clergy Of the diocese. After 1t has
been fully signed 1t will be made public.
