The Case Of Col. Hernandez.

MONTEREY, Feb. IA strong military
guard left here yesterday with Col. Neives
Hernandez for the City of Mexico, where
the prisoner who is now under sentence
TO be shot for alleged completely in the
Cara revolutionary movement, will be
given hearing on appeal to the higher
military court. The friends OF Her.
nandez are making a powerful effort to
have the sentence committed, and it is the
general opinion that President Diaz will
intercede in his behalf if the sentence is
affirmed by the court OF last resort. II the
prisoner does not receive clemency he will
be returned to this city TO have the SEN
teuce carried out.

The building was of brick, with 500 feet
frontage extending from east to west. 1t

position. he knows that he could have
q wSlkoveF In the silver states by simply
agreeing to forego the veto power In the
event Of free coinage bill passing dur
ing his occupancy Of the presidential
chair, but he does not and dare not make
the promise, because he represents very
different interest and depends upon that
interest for his chances Of election.
Hence he uses q wilderness Of words in
the vain hope Of deCelvlng the west with
out compromising himself with the east.
He knows that a bill is pending in the
United States senate, introduced by his
own lieutenant In that body, the passage
Of which would reduce the value Of all
YER 10 40 cents or so cents per ounce, but
he avoids the least reference TO that con-
templated blow at the white metal, al
though 1t involves the absolute ruin Of
the silver mining industry.
In view Of President HArrlson's latest
utterances, hopelessly empty and mean
lngless so far as the silver question Is
concerned, the Endorsements" just now
current will be understood as the ex-
presslons Of spolls hunters, who consider
themselves and not the welfare Of Colo.
RADIO or the country.
The salvation of silver asa money
metal depends wholly upon the repudl-
alton OF the old money-domlnated pollt-
ical parties by the American people. The
fate Of the white metal-whether It shall
be further debased next winter with the
result of closing our mines, or whether
the money brokers and corporate ra-
pacity and privilege shall receive the
check that shall forecast popular triumph
and the reasSertlOn Of justice and equity
in finance and lndustry-will depend
upon the independent free coinage vote
that will be cast in the approaching
election. To Colorado the result is vital,
as every intelligent person In the state
must see. There should be q waking up
and the consolidation of the silver vote
against silver's determined foes as repre-
sentsd by Harrison and Cleveland.

Since the publication of the record
from proceedings of the Odd Fellows
grand lodge relative to Mr.. Burton's
expulsion from the order, we have
been assured by Mr.. Burton's friends
that he is not the man to whom these
proceedings relate. This possibly
may be true, and we ask our readers
to suspend judgment in this case
until we investigate further. The

will, nor will it deceive its readers. II

Kelley Institute.

One OF the most interesting establish
ments in Topeka is the Kelley Institute,
which was established last spring in the
Adams House, opposite the Union Pacific
depot in North Topeka. The institute ia
under the direction Of DIR. ]. B. Hibben,
well. known Topeka physician, and under
his efficient charge has met with remark
able success. Evidence Of the unabated
public interest in this great cure for the
liquor, opium and tobacco habits is found
in the steadily increasing attendance of pa
tients.
DR.. Keeley's double chloride Of gold rem
edieS have not only been proven to be sure
and permanent cure for the liquor, opium
and tobacco habits, or rather the disease
caused by these habits, but have been also
shown to be Of the greatest benefit physi-
cally and mentally to those who have taken
the cure. Experience Of those who have
been cured has demonstrated that there is
not power or function Of the human sys-
tenn either physical or mental that has not
been greatly restored and reinvigorated by
this treatment.
There are to-day in the United States
about 5000 persons who have been treated
at the Kelley institutes, Of which number
there are in Kansas about 1000.
In addition TO the Topeka institute, branch
institutes have been opened and are in sue
Cessful operation at Wichita, Wyandotte
and Lesvsnworth. One encouraging feature
Is that the farmers who are afflicted with
these diseases are beginning to patronize
these institutes. Drunkenness is disease
which unfortunately is shared alike by the
deniEens Of the city as well as the tiller Of
the soil.

nHEAVY FACTS"

President Harrison in his letter of
acceptance undertakes to give the Nc
Kinley bill a little boom by the state
ment that "our exports in 1892
exceeded those of 1890 by $172,OOO,-
OOO," and republican papers speak Of
this as "hesvy fact" There is an
other heavy fact also to which we
would call their attention. Our ex-
ports in 1890 exceeded those of 1888
by $161, ,864,177. How will our repub-
licsn friends account for this? Is the
Mckinley bill retroactive?
