THE QUEENS BIRTHDAY
Duly Celebrated by a Party of
Americans at Kaslo.
BoNNER's FERRY EXCURSION
What Was Done and Seen on the Trip
Welcomed at Ainsworth and kaslo
--Other Notes.
RoNNER's FERRY EXCURSION

When the Spokane steamed out
of Bonner's Ferry last Monday
morning she had aboard a jolly
party Of about sixty excursionists
bound for Kaslo, the new city on
Kootenai lake, where grand cele-
bration of the queens birthday was
to take place on the following day.
Most of the passengers had taken
accommodations on the boat the
night previous and they were far
down the river the next morning
when the breakfast hour arrived.
Captain Gray had secured Profes-
sors Matelo Iosco and Fred Motto
to furnish music for the occasion,
and music, dancing and card play
ing were the amusements of the
day.
The first stop Of any Importance
was at the boundary line, where
the British customs officials came
aboard to search for dutiable
goods, and when her majesty's rep
resentative placed his seal of APP
proval on everything in sight the
Spokane was allowed to proceed
upon her way.
The next stop was made at Pilot
Bay, where the sxtansiye smelling
plant fs being " astrGeted eRnacr
the direction of DR.. Wilbur A.
Hendryx. The stop was short and
gave but little time for observation,
but glance was sufficient to
demonstrate that DR.. Hendryx is
working on no small scale with his
smelter project.
The boat tied up for the night at
Nelson, but steamed off at day
break next morning.
Ainsworth was the first stopping
place. AS the Spokane approached
the port the citizens came out en-
masse to welcome the strangers to
their city. The old mountains
fairly shook with the explosion of
dynamite, and when the boat
landed cheer after cheer went up
from the crowd. Ainsworth is all
right. Her people are enterprising
and chivalrous and ever ready to
extend courtesies to strangers. The
town is the commercial center of
Hot Springs mining district and
has bright future before it. There
are said to be from fifty to one
mines back of Ainsworth.
After a stop Of an hour which was
passed pleasantly taking in the
town the Spokane journeyed on to
Kaslo, which was reached about
IL a. m. The welcome was the
Ainsworth demonstration over
again.
Kaslo City was decorated in gay
,olors and bunting, and the stars
md stripes and the British flag
doated from every building.
The arrival of the Spokane was
followed by the arrival of the
steamer Nelson with about 200 pas
who were received most
royalty.
In the afternoon a grand ball
was given in the elegant bowery
erected especially for the occasion.
The ball was a complete success
throughout and was highly en-
Dyed by those in attendance.
The sports of the day consisted
If ball game and various other
contests.

never be delegated to an individual
or a corporation. In q speech in the
United States senate, June %, 1882,
Senator Coke made the following
statement:
Twice when bills providing for the free coinage
Of silver passed the house, bearing down all Op-
position by immense majoritieS, under the Inn
pulse Of great popular demand, the banks have
been able to defeat the measure in the senate
and were able to cause an executive veto on the
present law demOnetizlng silver after eDgrafting
upon It the stigma Of OfiuferlOrlty.
How had the banks thus succeeded
in defeating this legislstionG What
power did they possess which was 50
potent with the senate and with the
president? Senator Coke says that
they threatened in case the bills
should become law ito contract the
currency and create a panic" and
under this threat the president was
led to veto the bills. This is the evil
against which we protest the posses
sion of the power by any individual,
or combination of individuals, corpo-
ration or combination of corporations,
to intimidste congress or the presi-
dent, and head off legislation in the
interest Of the people. When any
system prevails which renders it posi-
bic for any combination of individu-
ais or corporations to precipitste a
panic in the country whenever it may
be to their interest to do so, it is a
power too dangerous to be tolerated,
and it must be destroyed or the llber-
ties Of the people must perish. Which

THOSE MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES
ANOTHER BOOMERANG.

Republicans in their desperation to
fad something with which to stain
the record of Peoples party candi-
dates, do some very foolish things.
They published with blazing head
lines a few days ago some records
from the court docket at Wichita to
show the cruelty and hsrd-hearted-
ness Of Mr.. Lewelling in foreclosing
mortgages and distressing the dear
people. The following from the
Wichita Beacon shows this to be an
other republican boomerang:
W. s, Rogers, named as one Of the defendants,
Is proprietor of the fne photograph galleryat
106 East Douglas avenue. A Beacon reporter
called on him this morning and handed him
Topeka Capital containing the above.
Mr.. Rogers read it over and laughed heartily
and said: swell, what do you want to know
about it?"
"What are the particulars Of the cases? What
do you knew about them?"
swell" said Mr.. Rogers, II will tell you all
that know about 1t. This Peter Coggshell
named In one Of the cases Is my father-ln-law. 1
sold him all this property and the old gentleman
borrowed some money from L. D. LeWelling and
gave these second mortgages as collateral 1t
turned out that my fatheri in-law could not pay
Mr.. LeWelling and, Of course, all that was left
to Mr.. Lewelllng was to try and get something
by foreclOslDg the mortgages, but he never got
but very little out Of the property. Whenever
we had chance to turn the property Mr.. Lew
elllng released his claim, but we were able 20 get
but little out Of the second mortgages. Mr.. Lew
ellIng Is not the man to lDjure any one. He was
very lenlent In this case, and just want to re-
mark. that while am Stralght-out republican,
that propose 20 vote for L. D. Lewelling for
governor Of Kansas"

THE DECLINE OF AMERICAN SHIP
PING INTERESTS UNDER RE-
PUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION.

President Harrison strikes the keynote" In
his letter Of acceptance when he says that the
Issue Is one for "new factories, new markets and
new ships" as against the democratic doctrine
Of destruction Of the American policy Of pro-
tectiOn.- -CdpitGl, Sept 7.
That the issues presented in the
above paragraph are important to the
American people, no Well-informed
person of any party will deny; but
that the objects stated will be secured
by a continuance Of the policy ofthe
republican party is an assumption
not sustained by facts.
Let us take for present consider
alton the subject Of American ship
ping interests, which is one Of the
questions presented by the president
and noticed by the Capital in the
above paragraph.
In order to show the effect of re-
publican policy upon this great in
terest, we invite attention to the re-
port of the chief Of the bureau of
statistics Of the treasury department
for the year 1891. On page Xxx
of that report we find the following:
Our foreign commerce, carried In home ves-
sells, measured by It's value, has declined from
It's highest point 70 per cent In 1885, to II 06 per
cent. during the last fiscal year, while SlO7 per
cent, was carried In foreign vessels. Only TIL
per cent Of our foreign trade was conducted In
steamers bearing our national flag. while 73.ll
per cent Of that trade, with all It's profits from
the employment Of capital and labor, was con-
Quoted In allen steam vessels. The constant and
rapid decline Of our share Of the transportation
Of the commodities exchanged between this and
foreign countries will be seen by reference to
appendix NO.9
Appendix No. 8 is a table showing
the decline Of American shipping in
terests from 1857 to 1891 inclusive,
and the facts presented IN the table
are of such vital interest that we give
it below:

In chewing over the political fake
about the Chautsuqua county muir
ders, the Chicago Inter Ocean calls il
'the murder of Mr.. Sedan" Another
paper says a man was murdered
while he was going to see Dan, not
informing its readers what Dams
other name was or why the man
wanted to see him. Next week we
expect to see in the New York papers
that Mr., Sedan was foully murdered
by a man named Jerry Alliance and
that Detective Humphrey had, with
the aid Of Gov. McCray, brought out
some very strong evidence against
two criminals named S. s. Kirk
patrick and JEFF Hudson, also that
the Peoples party was responsible
for the murder, and that Jerry Simp-
son and Senator PETER were mixed
up in the conspiracy All republi-
can paper needs as a basis for cam
paign sensation is a few names. For
the benefit Of our readers in Europe
and Australia we will state that the
only Sedan in this case is the county
seat of Chsutauqus.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-09-14

The Oskslooss Independent is vio-
lsting the postal laws by sending out
New York campaign trash inclosed in
the paper at newspaper rates, and the
editor of the Independent is post
master, too. As has been repeatedly
exsmplifed, republican laws are
made for the other fellows. They may
be violated constantly by republicans
with impunity.

REPUBLICAN papers refer TO the re-
port of Labor Commissioner Peck as
a bombshell Perhaps it does par
take something of that character, bat
like all republican bombs, it exploded
In the republican camp. The pro-
lection organs have been quoting the
figures for the year prior to the sdop-
tion of the Mckinley bill and apply
ing them to the year following; and
even the president Of the United States

Table 10 on pages CVIII and ok
gives the tonnage of American and
foreign vessels, respectively, and the
percentage Of each which entered at
the sesports Of the United States
each year from 1871 to 1891 inclusive.
This table shows the tonnage of Amer
lean vessels to have been from 66 to
80 per cent. Of the whole from 1871
down to 1850. At no time during
that entire period was it below SO and
it fell to that figure only for two
years. From 1861, the beginning Of
republican administration, to 1890,
the percentage fell from 66 TO %, and
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-09-14

the period Of greatest decline has
been since the war. In the light Of
these facts it is hardly warrsntable
to claim a continuance of republican
administration as favorable to Amer
lean shipping interests.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-09-14

ANOTHER example of borrowing the
livery Of heaven to serve the devil in
is the republicans of Colorado trying
to elect Harrison electors on a free
silver platform. It is astonishing
what transparent schemes they viii
resort to.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-09-14

has been guilty of participating in
this perversion. Il is a forlern hope
that has to be bolstered up by such
methods. Mr.. Peck thinks that when
the protection organs see his figures
for the year following the adoption
of the Mckinley bill they VIII not
take such a lively interest in them.

NATIONAL BANKS.

AccUO va mug A6N @SJ AOO~J 4~~-S "~
lowing question and answer:
Is the national bank act unconstitutional
which some think?
AnSUer-We can not understand wherefore It
should be so. The fight against the national
bank Is the most inexpllcable for as Of all
wonders In the politics Of our day. AgitatOrS
and intrlguers have been filling the ears Of the
people with lies about these banks, 90 they (the
peOple) have been confused. People don't know
what they are fOOllng about when they fight or
rage against the national banks, such as ''Op-
preSsOrs," privileged mOnOpOlists," and so on.
The privilege Of national banking is open for all
and anybody. We suppose that the case Is
simply this: The people out In the western and
new countries have learned by experience that
the banks, or sO-called bankers and money lend
ers, have been merclless skinners and uSurerB.
They have then been mad at any kind Of banks,
which is not wonderful. Then the demagOgues
and intrigues have come and made themselves
sweet for the people; and, as the most easy way
to obtain the confidence of the people in order
to become leaders or getting In offices, they have
devised all kind Of fSlsehOOds, and among these
are the many about the national banks.
A very few items of what the writer
of the above don't know about the
subject he undertakes to write about,
would be immensely more interesting
than the sum total of his knowledge.
We are not surprised that the cause
of this fight is inexplicsble to him. A
man must possess some little informa-
tion upon a subject before he is In q
position to understand why it merits
either approval or disapproval. He
says:
People don't know what they are fOOllng
about when they fight or rage against the ma
tlOnsl banks.
He makes the common mistake here
OF all who undertake to critiOise the
policy of the Peoples party upon this
subject. 1t is not the national bank,
but the national banking system to
which we object. That system per-
mits the holders of government bonds
to deposit the same with the secre-
tary of the treasury, and receive 80
per cent. of their par value in cur
rency for banking purposes. Do the
bonds cease to draw interest when 80
deposited? o, no. the banker calls
regularly upon the secretary of the
treasury for the interest in gold coin.
And what about the currency? This
he loans to the people for all the
traffic will bear. He thereby receives
double interest on the same invest
ment, and the people pay it all. Is
this fair? Is there anything about it
that looks like q special privilege'
But says this writer:
The privilege Of national banking is open to
al and everybody.
Undoubtedly, and the tramp who
is rambling over the country and
begging at the kitchen doors of our
citizens for ''hsnd-out" is very fool
ish that he don't stop and go into the
national banking business. A man
who will lead the life Of a Vsgsbond

Far better IL were to have riven

Than to leave thus alone in life's desert,
In the fierce, binding glare and the heat.

No guide for the faltering feet

A dreary road chilled by the blast,
And the phantoms that glide on before me
Are the ghosts of dead hopes of the past.
They point with their cold, icy fingers
At the grave of my heart, and its chill,
And they mock at the voiceless moaning
From a memory nothing can still.
Yet your face ever rises before me

Till it seems heaven were hell without you,
And hell were heaven with you.
/ feel your cool hand on my forehead,
gaze on your eyes tender blue,
And know hold all of earth's riches
And all Of life's joys in you.
All quivering with pain, am kneeling,
At thy feet with child's pleading love,
While out On my souls darkness flutters
The wings of thy mercy's white dove.

Mingling in with the mist of the rain,
Till it stills all my hearts throbbing tumult,
And soothes into sweetness the pain.
And know, were my dearest wish granted,
ltwould lie, with my head on your breast,
And my eyes on your face that love so.

And TO know that life's sacrifice brought you
Each day a new joy to reap,
One last look in your eyes, and I'd lay me
Sweetly down to Eternity's sleep.

Morrison for President.

Inter State Commerce Commissioner
Morrison, says Washington dispatch,
is beginning to loom up as a democratic
possibility at Chicago, one of his most
pronounced adherents being Represents
tive Fithisn. "Of course the convention
is going to do what it thinks best for the
democratic party" he remarked. but l
have decided opinions as to whist would
be best. Nominate William r. Morrison.
and, my word for it, the Minneapolis can
didate would get few electoral votes in
the northwest. He can carry as many
eastern votes too, as any other man. On
the tariff question he had and ex-
pressed decided views long before that
issue reached its present prominence. He
is safe man, with great record, and
his record, and his private and public life
is without blem;sh. He would run like
prairie fire and sweep the country"
George r. Vending, the famou s
southern orator, is also outspoken in be-
half of Col Morrison, and in the course
of conversation said: 81 am asked to
say what my recent journeyings in 90
states lead me TO believe about demo-
cratic candidates. l say first that wish
Cleveland could be elected But it is
vehemently asserted that he cannot carry
New York. say next that if this be true
his nomination means defeat, and the
party of reform must take q man who in>
csrnates, as Cleveland does, the idea of
tariff reform, and because of the condit-
ion of things in New York that man
should come from the west. There is
such man, and lately he is much in the
minds of thoughtful men. What state
does he hail from?
Illinois in her great crises gave to the
nation Douglas the statesman, Lincoln
the martyr, and Grant the magnanimous;
one an immortal senator, one an immortal
leader, one an immortal soldier. Now
when another great crisis is upon US, and
a death struggle is at hand between the
masses and the classes, between the PEG
pie and the factory lords and tariff kings,
Illinois can give you another of her sons;
can give you the intrepid, the sagscious,
and the incorruptible patriot soldier, aud
statesman, Col. William r. Morrison.
1T was William r. Morrison who re-
ported to the convention of 1884 the
very platform on which Cleveland was
elected, the platform which asserted that
Unnecessary taxation is unjust tsxstion n,
and it was he who fearlessly proclaimed
in the halls OF congress that protection
other than that incidental to revenue is
spoliation.' 1t was Morrison who for
10 years did more than any living per-
son to give vitality and prominence to
tariff reform. 1t is William r. Nor
rison, and speak with the solemnity of
q judicial oath and with the sincerity of
man standing under the immediate eye
of God, it is Morrison, the patriot, the
soldier, the statesman, and the friend OF
the people, who can lead US to victory
Nominate him, for he has had "a
years of public life and comes with
clean hands, comes with pure heart,
comes with record as invulnersble as
Gibraltar, and reputation as spotess as
q star"
