COL. POLK'S VIEWS.
He Thinks Cleveland is Courageous, but
is a Political Back Number.

is a Political Back Number.
Col. L. L. Polk, President of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union, who has just returned from a
trip through the South and Southwest,
was asked by a Post reporter yesterday
to give his views on ex-President Cleve-
lands anti-silver letter. Col. Polk said
in reply:
"The friends of financial reform are
indebted to Mr.. Cleveland for at least a
courageous expression on this import
ant national financial question; in do
ing this he has done what all politicians
in this country must do before the year
1893-that is, define their position clear
ly on the great economic issues of the
day. The appearance of Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter just at this particular time
of Congressional legislation on that sub
iect, bears peculiar and f~orceful signifi-
canoe. Whether so intended or not, it
came as a timely ally to the monopO-
lists in their herculean efforts to defeat
the silver bill. The tendency of the
letter will be to consolidate and crystal
ize all efforts for financial reform. It
will hasten the reimbursement of party
lines and a realignment on the economic
issues of the day. Men of all parties.
North and South, who favor honest
money, will now more clearly realize
the necessity for united and determined
action, and they will place their de-
mands and petitions where they will be
most effective-in the ballot box.
Mr.. Cleveland, as a great political
leader. of his party, and as a true and
consistent friend of the money power,
invites and precipitates the inevitable;
the friends of financial reform, regard
less of former party affiliations, will
readily accept the challenge thus
thrown out, and will vote in 1892 for
men who are truly their friends on
these important questions"
Then you do not think Mr. Cleve-
land will be the Democratic nominee
for President in 1922"
After a brief pause, Col. Polk replied:
{ Cleveland may, through the corrupt
manipulations of money and political
intrigue, be forced upon his party, but
on that point the Alliance people are
little concerned, for if he be the nOmi-
nee of any party he will utterly fail in
securing the votes of the Industrial
organizations of the country. NOman
will get their votes for President of the
United States unless he is in accord
with them on the measures they seek
to promote. To use a popular phrase,
Mr.. Cleveland has succeeded in placing
himself on the top shelf of back num-
bers.'"
Col. Polk leaves to-day for North
Carolina to speak to the Alliance at his
old home in marlborough, N. c.

MANAGER AND DANCER ELOPE.

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 17.-Al Haynes,
one of the pr~oprietors of the dime mu-
scum known as the Nickelodean, dis
appered this morning and so did
Cyrene, a Spanish dancer, who has
been billed as C~armencita's rival.
Judging from the fact that Haynes left
a letter for his partner, Austin, stating
that he had eloped with the woman,
this statement of the case is probably
true. Early this morning Cyrene set
tied her bill with her landlady on All
ston street and drove away with her
trunks in a hack. A short time after
ward she and Haynes were seen at the
city ticket Office of the Old Colony
Railroad, and it is supposed that they
fled in the direction of New York,
Cyrene began her engagement only
yesterday, but she had danced at the
Nickelodeon before, and her acquaint-
ance with Haynes was formed then.
She is alleged to have a husband in
New York. Haynes accounts r all
straight.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

GREENSBORO, N. O., Feb. 5,'91.
Mr.. EDITOR:-Shal we have it?
What we want is facts, and with your
permission l call attention to an article
in the Quarterly Journal of Economics,
of Boston, entitled Reform in Rail
road Passenger Fares" It shows that
this is not a State subject simply, but
that the agitation is going on in Ger
many, Austria and other points in the
Old World. Then the idea of reduction
was suggested by postoffice work.
Under these reform principles great
reductions were made. For example,
the rate for 80 miles in Austria is so
cents; here we pay $2.5 to So. 90 for 80
miles. The idea Of the railroads in
Austria being "a large business on
small profits" and railroads is a
relatively small business on large
profits" No railroad would vOlun-
tarily assume small profits when it
could make larger ones, nor charge
twO-thirds of a cent per mile when they
can charge three to five cents. You
say competition would do this? Yes,
but how small the competition! 1t is
asserted that one of the railroads that
passes through u State makes a for
tune every day. Looking to the future,
WudU uO0S UIllS llGdll! DIldl we Gil
courage capital or monopoly? Wewant
one, we dread the other.
Looking at these cases in the Old
World and then seeing our postal re-
auctions from three cents to two cents;
and soon, I believe, to one cent; does
not the argument grow that the gov
eminent can take a hand and let that
hand reach deeper, and deeper, until
the comforts and cheapness of the
postal service is repeated in our rail
road service? Let the logic carry is
even to their control and ownership by
the government what care we? Com
pare the two to-day-the ~pOstOffice and
the railroad. Think of allthe work
ings of the pOstOffice as to it's details.
Then let your mind carefully take in
all the details of our railroads. What
are their effects on you? Choosing
between a syndicate in New York and
politicians in Washington, do you fall
in love? NOtI d! But choosing between
the results of to-day, I say let us have
the pOstOffice repeated in the railroad.
But on our little trip for a commission,
why not try it? If it fails we can
drop it in two years. If we succeed,

Count Kleist has been rearrested and

Count Kleist has been r~earrested and
taken back to prison.
After the Counts attack on Herr
Albert In September last he was N
fined In a lunatic asylum in this city
on the ground that he was insane. On
September "a, however. he was re-
moved from the asylum by order of
the Grown Solicitor, who was of the
opinion that the Counts insanity was
only slammed for the purpose of tax
ing advantage of the earliest oppOrtun-
ity to escape to the United States. He
was consequently placed in Moabit
Jail, and being an officer in the army
his name was struck off the army list.
During the morning of September 80
Count Kliest attempted to commit sui
eide by hanging himself with his sus-
penders from a beam in his cell, but
was discovered and cut down before
life was extinct.
At the time of the Counts attempt to
commit suicide it was said that the
motive for the rash act was mortifica-
ton over his expulsion from the army.
He was also said to have been deeply
affected by the suicide of his friend,
Count Schleintz, the moral response
bility for which was said to rest with
Count KIeist. Count Schleintz ruined
himself by gambling and committed
suicide by shooting himself with a re-
vOlver on September 10, 1890.
