Burlington Letter: Miss Mary P.
Wright, who has been for seventeen
years missionary in Asia, has returned
to her home here. Miss Wright was the
first woman who wag elected to the Office
of county superintendent in Kansas
When she was elected her right to hold
the Office was questioned. The district
court of .COffey county decided against
her, and she left for Asia as missionary,
But her friends took the case to the su.
preme court and had the decision of tbs
lower court reversed. By the time the
case was reached in the supreme court
the time for which she was elected had
expired, and she never received dollar
salary. Miss Wright was elected by the
republicans, and her precedent has made
it possible for a score of women to hold
the Office of county superintendent in
Kansas.

CHICAGO, May 27.-Work win begin almost
Immediately on the Atchison extension TO
San Francisco. Exactions of the Southern
Pacific have of late become so onerous that
this course is practically forced on the Atchi-

WAsHINeTos, d. C., May 2a.-Over zoo dele
gates, representing a majority of the state
Of the union, but more largely coming fron
the silver producing states, assembled IL
ConcordIa hall in response to the call of the
national silver committee appointed by the
first national silver convention, held in st.
Louis IN November, 1889.
The convention was called to order by
Congressman A. j. Warner, while Lee Cram
dali, of this city, OBLIGATED as Temporary Sec
Rotary. The convention has been called by
the executive committee in question in the
belief that an exigency has arisen which calls
for the early consideration and united action
of all friends of bi-metalism. One of lis OBJ
jects Is the formation of a national bi-metal-
lie association league, for the better pro
motion OF free bi-metallic coinage in the
United States
This action has been impelled by the opin-
ion on the part of the silver men that It is
the manifest determination to suppress the
silver issue for another decade, and, if posi-
bic, by transforming existing debts into gold
obligations, to fRsten forever the single gold
standard upon the country.
Amongst those in attendance upoA the
congress are representatives of the knights
of Labor, of the Patrons of Industry, the
state oranges and the farmers alliance or
ganization. The Iowa delegates will submit
resolutions tavoring the free coinage of sill
yer, censuring the nine congressman of Iowa
in voting against the Bland bill, and applaud
ing the affirmative votes of Congressman
White of the Sixth district, and Butler of the
Fourth
The delegates from Denver say that there
Il a solid line of non-partisan SILVER clubs ex-
tending from Mexico on the south to Puget
Sound on the north, while the Representatives
of Nevada declare that 80 per cent of its
voters, irrespective of party, are pledged to
free silver. 1t is given out that committee
wall be appointed to urge upon the republican
and democratic national conventions the de-
STABILITY of incorporating in their platform
a free coinage plank. According to the pro
gramme, however, if efforts in this direction
fail, one of two movements will be open.
either the silver men will rally to the support
of the third party ticket, to be nominated at
Omaha on July 4th, or a silver convention
will be called, at which Senator Teller will
be nominated for president and Colonel L.
L Polk, of the farmers alliance for vice
president on platform containing but sin
gle plank, and which will provide for the
free and unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver.
Those who favor this programme are au-
thorized to say that Senator Teller will &C
cept the nomination upon strictly financial
platform, provided that the nominees of
the republican or democratic conventions are
men unfavorable to free coinage.
