Congressman Glover Tells OF a Deal That
simpson Tried to Work.
WAsHINaToN, April 8. - The story
that he slept peacefully on a sofa in
the lobby when he should have been
voting for free silver still troubles Mr..
Glover, the Kansas alliance congress-
man. Mr.. Glover holds Jerry Simpson
responsible for the publicity given his
discontinue. lie has been watching
Mr.. Simpson closely for several days
in the hope of getting even. The op-
portunity came. Mr.. Simpsons
district borders upon the Cherokee
Strip, and all of the alliance
men who find farming in Kansas such
poor business, are impatiently await
ing the opening Of the strip, with the
view of moving over there long enough
to perfect title to a second farm. So
Mr.. Glover says, Jerry Simpson went to
Mr.. Peel, chairman of the Indian com
mittee, and said to him in substance:
Peel, / want you to delay the open
ing of the strip until after the election.
My chances for coming back here de-
pend upon it. If the strip is opened
before the election three-fourths of the
fellows who would vote for me will be
over there holding down claims. You
need help in your district, | under
stand, Dinsmore is running against
you for the nomination, and is trying
to work the alliance. Now, you keep
the strip from being opened and I'll do
what ! can with the alliance people in
your district"
Mr.. Peel replied that the opening of
the strip could not be made the basis
of n political trade, hut he consoled
Mr.. Simpson with the expression of an
opinion that in the natural order of
government business the strip will not
be opened until long after the election
of 1892. Mr.. Glover is a member of the
committee on Indian affairs, and in
that way he came TO hear Of Mr.. Simp-
sons desire TO keep the strip closed
until after election. He tells the story

There is a scheme afoot to create a
greater Boston by including sixty
eight towns and cities in one vast
metropolitan district, with Boston as
the hub. The author OF the scheme,
which his name is Smith, hopes to
overcome local jealousies by letting
each town in the metropolis manage
Its own local affairs. But Boston ap-
pears to be somewhat lukewarm in the
matter, asking, with fine scorn, how
there can be any greater Boston than
The Boston that now is.
