GROVER CALLED DOWN.
To Be Arraigned for Influenc-
ing Legislation.
STEWART WILL SPEAK TODAY.
He Will Show That the President Has
STOPPED to the Level of a Bully by
Intimidating Senators Into Support
of Unconditional Repeal.

AsHINGToN, Sept. "A. - Senator
Stewart is on the warpath, and he
leveled resolution at President
Cleveland yesterday that created a
sensation in the senate. He believes
that Grover is getting too big for the
country's good, and he proposes, if
possible, to define just what powers
president may have under the con-
stitution. Stewart believes that
Cleveland grossly exceeds the powers
conferred upon him by the constitu-
ton When he seeks to accomplish the
passage OF laws by means of the
patronage at his command or through
coercive measures.
1t is needless to say that Stewards
resolution has particular bearing
upon Cleveland's impudent inter-
ference with and direction to sena-
tors regarding the repeal of the Sher-
man law. The resolution recites that:
''The independence of coordinate
departments of the government must
be maintained, and use of the power
and influence of one department to
control the action of another is in vio-
lation of the constitution and destruc-
tive to our form of government"
+ Senator Stewart said on Monday he
would address the senate on his reso-
luton. He declares that Cleveland s
interference with legislative affairs is
a gross violation of the powers that
are vested in the chief magistrate by
the constitution.
cleveland, he said, mot only
seeks to dicate to congress, but
actually assumes to interfere with
the judiciary, as was evidenced when
he caused the United States supreme
court to sit in special session to hear
the Chinese test case in May last.
He is getting altogether too big for
the good of this country, and it is
dangerous to our free institutions to
allow any one man to have such auto
cratic power. He bestrides the earth
like a Colossus. There must be a
stop to this one man power, and /,
with other senators, propose to see
what we can do about it.
II will show" Stewart continued,
"that Andrew Jackson never sought
to influence legislation in order to
carry out certain ideas in what he
termed his policy, as boldly as Cleve-
land. No president before Mr.. Cleve-
Land was ever accused OF interfering
with the prerogatives OF the legislat-
i've branch of the government. jack
son believed in giving to the MEM
bers of his own political party the
few offices at the disposal of the ma
iority, but he never saw fit to use
patronage to get certain bills through
congress.
"Will you allude to the Democrats
and others who have 'hopped' in
order to save their places ?"
eyes; / will show from past records
that certain senators have gone back
on their oldtime views and have
been influenced by patronage"
aren't you likely to become per-
sonal in a speech OF that kind?"
perhaps so, but | cannot do diff
erently."
"Senator Stewart said he thought
he would occupy the entire time O
the "morning hour" on Monday.

THE COST OF SILVER.

Director Preston, of the Washing
ton mint, has prepared for Secretary
of the Treasury Carlisle full state
ment showing the amount and cost OF
the total silver purchase under the
Sherman law, the following extract
from which has been furnished to
President Cleveland:
The amount and cost of silver pur-
chased under the act of July IA, 1890,
from the date the act went into effect,
August 81, 1890, to date of repeal, No
vember 2, 1898, 16S,674,590 fine ounc-
es, costing $l55,O36,94O, the average
cost per ounce being $0.92.44. The
present market price is about seventy
cents per ounce. 1t is certain that II
the purchase of $36, ,OS7285 worth was
coined into standard silver dollars
leaving 140,699,760 ounces on hand
this amount will coin $l8l,9 5000. II
has not yet finally been determined
whether to authorize the coinage OF
the bullion, but in anticipation of any
possible order the mints have been au-
thorized to prepare the ingots and
blanks from which the dollars are
made so as to proceed with the coin
age promptly should notice to that et-
feet be given.

Alabama.

The simple announcement that the
great Southern play, alabama" is
to be at the opera house next Tues
day, caused quite stir among our
theatre goers, and already there are
many demands for seats; we also hear
rumors Of several theatre parties be-
ing arranged for the occasion, which
will undoubtedly be the dramati C
event of the season. The press of the
entire country has teemed with the
most complimentary noUices of Ala
bama, and society has hocked to see
it wherever it has been presented, and
that includes every large city in the
union. alabama" is Southern play
not only in name, but in truth.
Mr.. Thomas conceived the stos
ry of his play in Talladega, Alaba-
ma; he laid his scenes there, founded
his characters there and wrote the play
there.
And when we glance at the list of
actors who will present this great
play we are sure of a dramatic treat.
The cast is headed by that famous ac-
tor, Frank G. Bangs, than whom no
actor on the stage is better known or
more popular. His marvellous per-
formanees of the "Silver King" aud
"Jim, the Penman," are two of the no.
table Characterization Of the gentle
man. Then there is Clement Balm
bridge, for whom Mr.. Thomas wrote
the part of Captain Davenport, and
William Calhoun, L. p. Hicks, James
r. Marlett, w. j. Dean, f. b. Gallo
way, Edward Mas, Belle Barron, Eth
el Irving, Lillian Schoyelin and Ger
trude Magill, making one of the most
perfect and expensive companies that
ever left New York City.

ALL DOUBT REMOVED.
The Mystery Surrounding the Oil
phant Train Robbery Entire
ly Cleared.

The following special dispatch from
Little Rock clears away all doubts as
to the identity of the Iron Mountain
train robbers:
@Today's developments have COM
pletely solved the Oliphanta train rob-
berry mystery, and before noon tomor-
row all who participated in the rob-
berry will be behind the bars.
"Bill Lemons and Arnett, the two
suspects confined in the penitentiary
for safe keeping, were identified.
"George L. Bate and A. r. Wilson
of Benton county, two officers of the
Masonic Grand Lodge, In attendance
upon the annual session which con-
venes here today, went out to the
penitenhary today and Immediately
identified Lemons as Tom Brady, a
whiskey peddler, whose home is at
Sloan Springs, Benton county.
"Brady recognized his fellow towns
man and told the gentleman of his ar
rest and subsequent treatment.
"Arnette was also recognized as
Louis Padgett of Marcum Prairie, |.
7.
"Brady said Padgett was the man
who gave the robbers away to the of
ficers.
"The identity of these two men will
unquestionably lead to the capture of
the other members of the band.
"The two robbers, in company with
Sam and Pennyweight Powell, two
brothers; Bob Chesney, Ole Truman,
and man named Wyrick, left Ben
ton county October l, last. None of
the party have been seen by their
neighbors since. The party that left
Benton county consisted of seven per-
SONS, the exact number that took part
in the Ohphant train robbery.
suspicion has rested upon these
men since the robbery occurred, but
not until today, when Braday was
identified, did the suspicion seem be-
yond dispute.
"a telegram received here tonight
says the five men still at large were
surrounded near Winslow by posse
or deputy marshals, and their capture
was only matter of few hours.
Senator Berry, who also arrived
here today, says he is well acquainted
with the Powell brothers, Bob Ches-
ney and Ole Truman. They were
farmers and members of the best FAM
lilies of Benton county. They are all
married and fathers of several chill
dren.
"The names of the last five have
been iu the possession OF Superintend-
ent Rose for several days, but Tor pru-
dental reasons he refused to disclose
them. He is now positive that the
robbers are known and will be in GUS
tody before tomorrow"

Federal Court Notes.

The cost in the case of Tabor vs..
Dorian, which, by the way, is con-
siderable Item, will not fall upon the
defendant, as the verdict rendered by
the jury in favor of the plaintiff,
awarding only 1926 of the $25,0O0 sued
for, is too small 20 carry with il the
burden of cost, under Federal proceed
ure, where the minimum amount upon
which suit can be brought is $500.
In the case of the United States VS..
j. w. Short, charged with violating
the revenue laws, the jury returned a
verdict of "not guilty"
The court at noon was engaged in
the trial of a stock case, in which
$4,000 is claimed from the Iron
Mountain railway for injury to stock
shipped over that line.
The court will continue its present
session for week longer, as consid-
erable business remains on the docket
which is yet to be disposed of.
The presiding judge and his assist
ant officers of the court certainly de-
serve great credit for their prompt
and business-like methods in disposing
Of court business.

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

Marie Wainwright.

There is not at the present day n
more charming and thoroughly salts
factory actress on the American stage
than Marie Wainwright, who apart
from her own charm and talents Is
attractive because she invariably sur
rounds herself with strong company
and presents plays in the highest or
der in an entirely worthy manner.
For her appearance at Ghio's Opera
IIonse, Saturday, Nov. 25 she will
present Austin Days splendidly ef-
fective dramatization of Wilkie Col
hns' great novel, "Man and Wife,
This is story which is known to
nearly every one as one of the most
powerful and absorbing ever written,
and It is as exciting in action as in de-
scription. Miss Wainwright's COM
pany is headed by such favorite play
ers as Barton Hill, Louise Muldener
and Nathaniel IIArtwig. This en-
gagement should prove one of the
most delightful of the season.

have interesting news. Another boat
is expected by Saturday or Sunday,
and this is the one expected to bring
news. 1t is whispered here that if the
queen is to go back on the throne and
there is not the least reason to doubt
this, the event took place about the
10th or goth of this month. The con-
sideration of the. letter of Gresham
and the declarations OF Willis as
brought to America by the last Hon.
olulu vessel have resulted in a general
opinion that the government Will act
as follows:
That Willis is instructed to request
the present provisional government to
dissolve. If this is not complied with
Mr. Cleveland will lay the matter be-
fore Cogress and ask that it force such
a dissolution. This conclusion comes
from the idea that to overthrow the
provisional government would be an
act of war; and this cannot and will
not be done by any power bat Con-
gress. Your correspondent is pre-
pared to say that unless the admins
tration recedes the queen will be re-
instated without any submission to
Congress of any proposition, because
the administration is proceeding ON
the principle that it can right wrong
just as the government committed it.

According to recent descriptive

of the younger men, Hill, Wolcott,
Lodge, Dubois, White of Louisiana,
and Villas have had q good deal to do
with the shaping of future legislation.
Hill was so in August, Wolcott is 45.
Lodge is 43, Dubois is AZ, White is 33,
Villas is 43. In a less conservative
body than the United States senate
the younger men, though constituting
but fraction of its membership,
would probably have more of show.
AS it is, the proceedings are largely
hemmed about with rules and un-
written but unvarying usages; and
long familiarity with these gives the
old senators opportunities for con-
trolling legislation. The average of
members of the present United States
senate is fifty-nine. 1t would be over
sixty, but for the infusion Of young
men from the new northwestern

HAWAII'S QUEEN.

According to recent dispatches from
Washington City, there seems to be a
well settled idea prevalent in the Off
cial and political circles of that cityto
the effect that Hawaii's deposed queen
is TO be restored to all Of her former
rights and privileges in those islands,
and that, too, at no distant date In
support of this may be taken the fol-
lowing special telegram from the Ma
tional Capital bearing upon this ques-
ton:
There is no expectation that the
next steamer from Honolulu, which is
due on Thursday, will bring informa-
tion as to the reinstatement OF the
oueen. II is thought here that if the
oueen went on the throne she did so
after that vessel left the islands. There
fore, nothing ola sensational nature
is expected by her, though she may

Miss Marie Wainwright who is

if not from having seen her at least on
account of her reputation as one OF

be the star at Ghio's opera house, on
Saturday, Nov rs, in her latest sue
cess, Augustin Daly's splendldly ef-
fective dramatization of Wilkie Col
Inns famous story, "Man and Wife"
which possesses one of the most thrill
ing and absorbing plots ever conceiv-
ed. A celebrated New York critic re-
Gently wrote: "There is peculiar re-
finement and distinction about Marie
Wainwrights methods. She seems to
me woman of intensely nervous and
richly sympathetic temperament. The
moods she gives her characters are
various and have womanly delight
about that has most penetrating eff
feet. In all the feminine attributes
that to men are indescribable and
charming and refreshing she is SUI
preme. Never for one moment does
she lapse into monotony; every gest-
ure and every incident in her illimi-
table by-play adds flavor to the delic-
ious aroma--I know no better term
which pervades her acting" Bartin

His Views on Rational Finsnee.


The Secretary of the Treasury Airs
His Views on Rational Finsnee.
The following extract from Secre-
tary Carlisle's address, before the New
York chamber of commerce, show
conclusively that his ideas on the
monetary system of this Government
have undergone a radical change since
he exchanged his seat, from Kentucky
in the United States Senate for port
folio in President Cleyeland's official
family. In the course of his lengthy
remarks Mr.. Carlisle said:
No matter therefore what our mon
etary system may be here at home as
established by our own laws we must
either relinquish large part Of our
share in the commerce of the world
or conduit our international trade up
on such basis as the general Judge
ment Of commercial nations may es-
tablish We cannot possibly change
situation, and consequently, the only
practical question is whether It is bet
ter to establish by law an inferior
kind of money for use at home exclu-
sively and another kind for use
abroad, or to have all our money
good enough for use in every market
where our people trade. I believe the
people Of the United States are enti-
tied. to have for use in their domestic
trade just as good money as any other
people in the world have, and they
are entitled TO have just as much of it
as may be necessary to carry on the
busineis regularly and proftably.
Whether it be gold or silver, or both,
paper BASED upon the coins of The
two metals, the people have a right to
demand that it shall be in fact what il
purports to be--e just and true meas
ure of value, or the representative Of
q just and true measure Of value.
Gold is the only International mon
ey, and all trade balances are settled
in gold, or which, is the Same thing,
on q gold basis, all other forms Of cur
rency being adjusted to the standard.
Ii is useless for the advocates Of diff
ferent system to insist that this ought
not to be so; it is so, and we cannot
change that fact. But the gold eagle
and the double eagle are not accepted
at a particular valuation in these set
dement's simply because the United
States of America have declared by
law that they shall be legal tender at
their nominal value, but solely be-
cause the bullion contained in them,
If uncoined would be worth every
where the same amount. This is q
great and powerful government, but
there is one thing it cannot dot
cannot create money There are some
things however, which the govern
ment can do for the establishment and
preservation Of q sound and stable
currency. In the exercise Of its con-
stitutional authority to "coin money
and regulate the value thereof it can
suspend or limit the coinage Of either
metal whenever 1t is ascerlained that
the coins Of the two metals, of the
same denomination, are Of unequal
value; or ii can change their legal ra-
ito 80 as to make thom as nearly equal
in valuse as possible or it can main
lain the parity of its coins by receiy-
ing them and their paper rcprescn-
tves in payment of all public dues
discharge all it's own Obligations IN
whatever kind ofmoney its creditors
may demad.

People overlooked the Importance Of

were satisfied with the transient act
tion, but now that it is generally
