SENATOR WoLcoTT In bis speech last
Thursday spoke truth when he said:
Il know of no reason why any senator
who believes in free coinage should
ever cast another vote in favor of pro-
lection in any form. If we are to
have q steadily approaching currency
constantly lowering prices it is bet

that they have the opportunity of buy

AN associated press dispatch dated
the 18th states that the receivers of
the great Northern Pacific railroad
have ordered reduction of five per
cent. in all salaries of 81, 200 to Sc, 900;
ten per cent. in those of $4,000 to
$4,000, and twenty-five per cent. in
all those over $4,000. When a com
pany is running its own business the
fellow with the big salary does not
feel the effect Of methods of economy.
With the Santa Fe laying off poor
men and leaving them in bad con-
dition financially, and continuing the
George r. Peck's at $4,000 a year
no wonder men are out of employ
ment, with others living IN opulence
and extravaganza. The government
system of handling the roads is the
best for the poor man in times of
panic, and if it is a good system then
it will manage to weather it through
some way in good times. When a
road fails to pay expenses the stock
holders come into the United States
court and say we can pay expenses no
longer and the government has a re-
ceiver appointed who runs the road
for year or two in an economical
manner, and at the end of that time
it is turned over to the stockholders
In good shape. If the government
can make bankrupt road pay why
can't it make a success of running a
good road? We have failed so far to
see the report of single road that
has ordered a graduated per cent. re-
duction In wages affecting all en-
ployees in proportion to the salary
drawn.

CONSIDERABLE complaint is heard IN
banking circles over the letter recent
ly written by Bank Commissioner
Breidenthal and sent to the various
banks asking them whether they were
indebted to New York banks or
whether New York banks were in
debted to them and in what amounts,
il any, and stating that hereafter de-
posts in New York banks would not
be permitted to appear as assets in
bank reports made to the commits
sioner for the reason that New York
banks were insolvent and could not
pay their debts. The Capital and its
coterie Of brilliant financial sheets at
once set up howl that this was part
OF some diabolical scheme on the part
of the anarchistic populists, and that
the commissioner had no right to
NEEDLE in matter of this kind, and
that any way the New York banks
were all solvent and all right, and
none were closing their doors. New
ertheless, the bankers of the state
thought very differently and made
their reports. without q murmer, and
what was the result of their reports?
1t was found that the New York
bankers owed the bankers of Kansas
about 1925, 900, and that the Kansas
bankers owed the New Workers about
$4,000, or q difference in favor of
Old Kansas in the sum Of about
$4,000. Now as to the charge that
these New York banks were not in
solvent and that they were all right,
we will reproduce little matter from
the New York Sun, a paper which
would have no object on earth Of mis-
representing the condition of that
city'G banks. 1t appeared August q.
1t says; "The question is, how much
longer our banks can, without bring
ing on a catastrophe, continue in their
course Of increasing the volume of
clearing house certificates and OF de-
nying to their depositors payment in
lawful money Of their checks. Thus
far deposltors have been very patient,
and have good naturally submitted
ty the enforced scaling down of their
dues; but they cannot be expected to
submit to it forever. A bank that can
not pay or will not pay claims against
it in the regular course of business is,
by the decisions Of our state courts,
insolVent, and, if the bankrupt act of
1857 we're now in force, refusal by
a bank for forty days to pay checks
on demand would be commission of
bankruptcy" This indicates that it
was no within or fancy of the commits
sioners which led him to declare that
these banks were insolvent. In ordl-
nary business insolvency means ina
bihty to pay; that IS all that IS the
matter with these New York banks
they don't pay cash. This matter has
led to the consideration of the ques-
ton of whether it would not be good
business for the state to remove its
fiscal agency from one Of these banks
to one of our western cities-to St.
Louis, Kansas City or Topeka.

In week Harris returned. She told
him of the effect of the pills and he ad-
vised her to take the last one. She did
so on the night of January 81, and by
morning died from morphine poisoning.
A chemical analysis showed that there
was morphine but no quinine in her
stomach. 1t was certain, therefore, that
the pill was of pure morphine. One of the
pills retained by Harris was analysed
and found to contain one-sixth of grain
of morphine and four grains of quinine.
The druggist had made no mistake
On the trial, the prosecution contend
ed that Harris had substituted morphine
for the contents of one of the pills. 1t
happened that the girl took the other
three pills first and still had the fatal one
when he returned from Old Point Com
fort. He urged her to take this last one,
knowing that it must be the one contain
ing morphine alone.
1t came out after a while that Harris
was the girls husband, and suspicion
was directed toward him. He was ar
rested rnd tried before Recorder Smyth.
The jury returned verdict of guilty in
an hour and twenty minutes. In the
Court of Appeals the conviction was
unanimously affirmed.

ON THE OLD BATTLE GROUND.
Iron Workers and Their Employers Pre-
pairing for . Struggle.


PITTsBURG, Pa, May S.-When the
present scale now existing between the
Manufacturers Association and the
Amalgamated Association expires in
June the manufacturers will present a
scale making sweeping reduction Of
the present wages. The price of pud-
ding, it is claimed, will be reduced from
$3.50 to "a per ton, and areduction of 40
per cent will be made in the other
branches of the iron industry. The rea-
son they give for these reductions is the
bad condition of the iron market. They
say also many iron manufacturers en-
ploy non-union men and pay lower wages
than the Manufacturers Association and
pndersell them in this market. The
Amalgamated officials will likely present
the same scale of wages as last year, and
battle royal will probably take place
between the Amalgamated and the Man
ufacturers.

CRIES OF scANpALous.
Opponents of Home Rule Contesting
Everv Point-CJoaura AdontaS

Opponents of Home Rule Contestins
Every Point-Closure Adopted.
LONDON, May 9.-In the House of Com
mon today, Prime Minister Gladstone
stated that he would propose that the
ninth clause of the Irish home rule bill
be retained without alteration. This
clause provides for the retention of
Irish members in the Imperial Parlia-
ment.
The speaker ruled that the instruc-
tions to the committee on the home rule
bill, offered by Lord Randolph Churchill
and others with view of defeating the
bill, were out of order. The House
then went into committee on the home
rule bill
Mr.. Chamberlain moved to postpone
clause one of the bill, which simply pro-
vides that on and after an appointed day
there should be a legislature in Ireland.
Mr.. Chamberlain said it was his inten-
ton to move the postponement of every
clause up to clause nine, in order to be-
gin the discussion of the bill with the
most Important proposals. Mr.. Glad
stone replied. He declined to allow Mr..
Chamberlain to reserve to himself the
privilege to challenge clauses out of or
der. The bill was before the House in a
particular form, and the government
alone had the right to indicate variations
from that form. The Unionists CONT.
nued to talk in a strain similar to their
leaders, while the Irish nationalists
cried, "Divide."
Chairman Mellor put an end to the
squabble by calling the disputants to Or
der and Mr.. Chamberlain's amendment
was rejected, .270 to 213.
Charles J. Darling, Conservative, pro-
posed to amend clause one by reafirming
>the supremacy of Parliament. Mr.. Glad
stone opposed the motion for the reason
that the supremacy of Parliament was
asserted sufficiently in the preamble.
After six hours were talked away Mr..
Morley, chief secretary for Ireland,
moved the closure. His motion evoked
opposition and yells and cries of s'Shame-
ful'' and "Scandalous,' to which Irish
members replied: Remember what you
did in 1887" The closure was carried
243 to 1876 and the amendment was lost
2S5 to 233.
Lord Randolph Churchill moved that
the chairman of the committee report
progress. This was rejected, 3O7 to Pos,
Mr.. Balfour moved that the chairman
leave the chair. The motion was lost 3O4
to 257. The sitting dragged on unevent.
fully to an adjournment at midnight
The last two hours were wasted in futile
squabbling and voting.
