To the Editor OF THE ADvoCAT.
DEAR SIR: ! see In the Daily Topeka
Capital of April I'd, a correspondence
from Rocks county that the Citizens
Alliance had nominated their ticket for
city election and withdrew or decided
not 10 enter the contest.
But that was only one Of the many mo-
tOrlOuS lies Of the Republicans. It was
the Republicans that nominated ticket
and withdrew and combined with the
Democrats and by 10 doing they elected
the Democrat mayor and one Republican
Councilmen. The Citizens Alliance
elected four councilmen and police
judge. You can always rely on Rocks
county to be against combines. Yours
fraternally, JOHN RUSSELL.

The Postomce site

The status of affairs as to the Postofiice site
and the probability of the date upon which
the actual work on the building will be begun
naturally interests everybody. HERALD re-
porter yesterday called upon Mr.. John A.
of property-holders, and he said: ~ under
stand that the District Attorney has all the
deeds prepared for signature. Some of the
property holders, among them myself, have
got our money. The absence of an official on
his annual vacation may delay little the final
settling up of matters, but l don't see why
everybody who has clear title should not be
paid by the middle of the coming month, and
the money on the clouded titles paid into
court. Then the Government could take pos
session. | have no knowledge when the work
OF the demolition of the present buildings will
be commenced, but have heard that the work
would be pressed forward without delay At
any rate the appropriation is available, and
suppose we shall have some months of good
building weather before winter interferes.S'

Death of Consu1 smith.

Edmund W.P. Smith, consul-general and sec
retary of legation at Bogota, Colombia, South
America, died on Thursday last at Carthagena,
Colombia. He was a brother of the we'll
known "Hub'' Smith, of this city. Mr.. Smith
had been in the diplomatic service for fifteen
years, and was one or the most useful officers
in that branch of the Government. When the
Pan-American Congress was in session he was
one of the secretaries, and made himself
almost indispensable on account of his
acquaintance with so many of the represen-
tatiVes from South America and his perfect
knowledge OF their customs and language.
He accompanied the members of that Con
gress in their unprecedented journey through
the United States. Too much cannot be said
of his gentlemanly bearing and genial manners.
At one time he was valued clerk in the War
Department, and was well known In Wash
ington

marched thither in body, beseiged the ware
house, captured the sugar, and marched home
again-a band of extremely elated Puritan
housewives. Tradition and the archives both
are dumb as to the sweetening properties OF
that sugar, but surely It must have made the
patriots tea like nectar to them, although
they might have disclaimed the comparison
as being OF pagan origin. Toward the centre
OF the town stands the town house, gaunt,
vast, brick building, once family mansion.
Even now, the citizens of Beverly, in town
meeting assembled after the good old New
England custom, may look upon the great
fireplace where few decades ago the children
OF some Beverly family watched the flames
dance and dreamed their dreams.
Alter lew miles OF perfect road, fragrant
whl1fs OF salt air from the sea and odor Of
clover and hay, we come to "Beverly Farms,n
not thrifty agricultural district as the unini-
tiated might suppose, but a collection of
great summer estates. Here are stately man
slons set far from the vulgar gaze, beyond
thick groves, and up long, winding drives.
Here are quaint lodge houses as English as
even the heart OF an American could desire. In
this ne1ghborhood drive the aristocratc in
mates OF these summer homes adorned with
Worth gowns but looking hored unto death.
Iheir carriage horses are docked after the
English fashion for hunters Here the la
mented Lord Sackville West had summer
home Here, in fact one may enjoy all the
advantages OF travel in England.
Still farther along the road, from which we
are always catching glimpses of the sea and
It's islands lying fair in the sunlight, comes
Manchester, then we swing off and 60 inland
through miles of green forest road to Essex.
There ''the sound of hammers, blow on blow"
from the shipyards reach our ears and the
fragrance of timber freshens the air Here
are farms and barns and suggestions of homely
good cheer. Here blueberry pastures, where
all July and August the sound of berries fall
ing against tin pals will mako music for the
sunbonneted Essex girls, and the sight of the
purple-misted fruit will gladden. their eyes.
And the question comes to one, Who has the
best time, the belle at the "Farms', or the
Essex girl, or we who ride along the North
Shore and see them both?

tered the University of Rochester, N. Y.
whence he was graduated, taking afterward
post graduate course at the University of
Heidelberg, Germany. On returning to the
United States he studied law, and it is curl
GUS fact that he was admitted to the bar on
the motion of Governor Hill, now the Demo-
cratic Governor of New York, who was then
young lawyer in Elmira. Soon after, Mr..
Fassett was appointed district attorney of
Chemung County by Democratic Governor,
the late Lucius Robinson. He was selected
because of his ability-which had already
been ecognized-regardless of his politics
He made an admirable district attorney On
engaging in politics he speedily acquired
reputation for his oratory and his staunch
Republicanism. He was elected to the New
York State Senate for the term of 1Ss4-5 from
the Twenty-seventh district by large ma
jorlty. In the next election strenuous efforts
were made to defeat him by the Democrats,
but his majority was greater by nearly
thousand. 1t was so the third and the fourth
time, in each case being triumphantly elected
on the last occasion by majority of $500.
During this term he was elected President
pro tenn, of the Senate. In 1888 he was secre-
tary of the Republican National Committee
and helped to carry New York for President
Harrison. He is trustee of Rochester Uni
yersity and Cook Academy, and is editor of a
daily paper in Elmira.

the supreme tribunal of public opinion,
asks q just decision through the ballot
box.
Polk then took up the demands of the
farmers, on which he spoke at great
length. "The Sub-Treasury idea," he said,
has grown until it is the sentiment of
the order in thirty-four States. The Con-
stitution declares that Congress shall
have power to regulate commerce among
the States. Money, transportation and
transmission OF intelligence are essential
clements in commerce. Does Congress
regulate these? Organized capital has
demanded of Congress and obtained con-
troll Of the volume of currency. This has
resulted in q fearful augmentation of the
centralized money power to the impover-
Ishment and robbery Of honest industry
In 1865 the amount OF currency was two
billion dollars with thirty-seven million
population. To-day, with siXty-three
million people, the volume Of currency is
reduced to six hundred million, resulting
in high-priced money and low priced
articles, entailing distress, poverty, suf-
tering and ruin.
The supreme question before the peo-
pie is financial reform. The Two great
parties have evidently sounded 8 truce
and, as in the past, this question will be
regarded us neutral ground between them.
In this crisis it is the duty of every true
member Of the Alliance to stand firmly
by our principles, and to demand of all
aspirants Of our sufIrages an unequivocal
dehnition OF their position on this great
principle.'
Polk said the grounds OF organization
was very encouraging. y recommends
ton was made that Il conference be had
with the Reform Press Association to dis
cuSs the most available means Of dissent
mating reform literature.

the four-story frame building on the
south side of Tehama street, near Fifth,
owned and occupied by J. Spaulding q
Co. as the Pioneer Carpet-beating Works
and the Pacific Cleaning and Dyeing
Works.
Once in flames the building burned
like Undertook. There was some delay
in turning in an alarm, and when the de-
partment reached the scene Chief Sean
mel promptly ordered a second alarm in
order to summon the balance Of the en-
gines, and before it was under control
the adjoining buildings were completely
destroyed and large amount of loss had
been sustained.
There were three different versions
given as to the cause of the fire. One was
that it caught by spontaneous combustion
among chemicals used in the dyeing and
cleaning department, another that q
match undetected in the pocket of coat
which was being cleaned ignited under
pressure and set fire to the benzine which
was used in the cleaning process, while q
third account was that the benzine yapor
ignited from gas jet.
The loss is estimated at from $751; 900 to
500 600.

his return to Missouri. Yesterday Sheriff

Iantum at Medford, and will hold him
until requisition arrives from Missouri.
Iantum came to Southern Oregon about
two weeks ago, deposited six thousand
dollars in the Jacksonville Bank, and
after looking over different portions of
the valley, had almost consummated the
purchase Of two thousand dollar place
near WoOdville. He has been going un-
der the name of J. Horace Greely since
coming here, but when arrested admitted
that MS real name was Tantum. and that
he had large dealings with the bank
which it is claimed that he defrauded.

MINNEAPoLIs (Minn.), Nov. II. A
Tribune special from West Superior,
Wis, says: C. b. Gear is here looking
for relatives of James Mcbride, who lies
in critical condition at his home on
claim adjacent to Gears, near Grand
Rapid, Mimi. Gear says few weeks ago
a party made up of men named Hahn,
Redding, Bruce, Mcbride and two
names unknown started on a hunting
trip to the Rainy Lake country. Friday
Mcbride came 10 the shack with his feet
bare, his left arm broken, his hands and
feet frost-bitten and in delirious condi-
ton.
In lucid moments the following story
was cleaned: After the party had been
out several days Redding, who furnished
the supplies, cut off the whisky rations.
This enraged Hahn and his friends, and
they tied Redding and Mcbride to trees.
AfterWard Mcbride was released and
driven from camp without even blanket.
Mcbride hung around, out Of reach of tho
men, who became wildly drunk. The next
day he returned TO camp and found Red
ding still tied to the tree, with his head
blown OF, and at his feet was Bruce, his
BODY full Of bullets. No trace of the
others could be found.

General ScholfeId Does Not Anticipate

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA telegram
has been received at army headquarters
from General Brooke, commanding the
Department of Dakota, in response to one
sent by General SchofeId asking the
truth about the rumor that Big Foots
band had left the reservation and started
for Pine Ridge. General Brooke stated
that he had been unable to learn any
thing definite about the movement, but
would lind out the scope and significance
at once. There is no apprehension felt
here that the movement viii be followed
by anything like last winters outbreak
General Schofield said this morning:
THE state of things in the Indian coun-
try to-day is far better than a year ago
There is more content among the Sioux
this winter than last. 1t is mainly due to
the fact that the affairs of the Govern
ment, as far as they affect the Indians,
are, l believe, being better administered
DO not think there is any discernible
signs of trouble this winter, for as far as
L can see the tribes are quiet"
