DESPERATE APPOINTMENTS.

Attorney-Gereral NIilIsr Inquiries Into the
App'l tment of Bili DAIton Another
Rum ~ Get, ONCE,
WAsluNGToN, Dec 2s. Attorney GEN
eral Miller is disturbed by the report
that Bill Dalton, brother of the no.
torious outlaw, has been appointed n
deputy United States marshal at Coffey-
vile, Kan. He said that the first init.
nation he had received in regard TO the
matter was when Senator Vest alluded
to it in his speech in the senate last
week. lie had at once applied to the
United States marshals IN Kansas and
the Indian territory for information on
the subject, at the same time express
ing his surprise and disapproval at
such an appointment but so far he had
received no response from either officer
lie explains that the department
never interiered with the marshals in
the appointment of their deputies un-
less there were special reasons for so
doing, but indicated very clearly that
he would not countenance the appoint
ment of man of Dalton's stamp. No
further action will be- taken until the
two marshals have been heard from.
ANOTHER DEsPE RADIO APPOINTED.
CoFFEYvlLLE, Kan, Dec, 2s.-Follow-
ing the appointment of Bill Dalton as
deputy marshal comes the information
that Bill Lipsey, brother-in-law OF
Henry Starr, the desperate, and broth
er of Sam Lipsey, who killed his man in
the territory in the summer Of 1891, has
been appointed Il deputy by Marshal
Needles, of Muskogee, Bill Lipsey him
self has a most unsavory reputation,
and some days ago he was heard in this
city to say that he did not blame Starr
for killing Marshal Wilson.
While for a number of years many
bad appointments have been made, II
would seem that the mistakes of this
kind are getting more numerous.

they can do such thing. One is by
fraud, the Other force. Their LEADER
are capable OF peIpetrating the fraud
but they are too cowardly TO use force.
The masses Of the Peoples Party are
honest and would scorn to aid in the
attempt to steal the organization Of the
house, when 1t is apparent to every
honest man that the Republicans have
n clear majority in that body. The
loud mouthed demagogues who are
making threats as to what they propo'e

moral courage; they do their fighting

leans will organize the next house OF

senator Frye Says the Nicaragua scheme
IL Different to the Pa anna swindle.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S Two years
ago in a speech at Portland in his own
state Senator Frye prophesied condi-
ton OF affairs in relation 10 the Panama
canal scheme that has been fulfilled al
most to the letter In that speech Mr..
Frye said that time would show that
the whole scheme was corrupt, and that
within year or two, at least, the light
would be thrown upon 1t and the fate
Of the republic would tremble under
the shock. That condition exists to-
day.
There has been some talk TO the eff
feet that the Panama and the Nicara-
qua canal schemes were parallel and
that the disaster that has overtaken the
French people will cause public men in
this country TO hesitate In giving their
votes to sanction the guarantee of the
Nicaragua bonds, fearing that II scandal
might result. Mr.. Frye can see moth
ing OF the kind and Is emphatic in his
declaration to that effect Said he:
''There is every good reason to adj
vance why this government should ex-
ercise supervision over the Nicaragua
canal and control all that is done there;
and there is no reason why any legis-
lator should be afraid TO cast his ballot
for the bill which has this end IN view.
| believe this measure will pass the sem
ate, but Of course such a prediction can.
not be made as TO the chances in the
house. 1t can hardly be supposed that
the bill will meet with favor there, in.

ture of public money, and such cxpcndi-
lures, however meritorious, are opposed
