THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

Candelaria, New, August %, "a,
Ed. APPEAL:-In reading tho Re.
publican platform l was little be.
wIldered by some of their preten-
tons. Forinstance, they arraign the
Silver party for passing Senate Joint
RESOLUTION No. 4, and then thew
cordially endorse the action of
those Republican Senators who
voted against the resolution" Now
In order that these glorious Rspubli-
can Senators shall have all the credit
due them, if there be any, for voting
against this resolution | should like
to know who they are. l have
traced the course of Resolution No,
from start to finish in the Senate
Journal for '93 and was unable to
ind any record of its final passage or
any yea and nay vote OH it. 1t
might be that one or two Republican
Senators voted for that resolution. so
that when the Journal came to be
printed the vote was left out. Pos
sible that is one of the things they I
have reference to when they ''invite
our especial attention to the splendid |
Republican administration of the
State Government. Then here j, a
sumner:
1--WE Indignantly condemn the
action of the self-styled Silver party
OF Nevada as represented in the Six
teenth session of the Legislature for
passing a proposed constitutional
amendment authorizing a lottery.
We declare the Republican party of
Nevada to be unalterably opposed to
any lottery whatever, etc.
Now, Mr.. Editor, when did this
great change come over the Republi- ,
can party. Did not the Republican ,
Legislature of 81 pass similar act?
Did not the Republican Legislature =
of so endorse itl And were they
not in such hurry to have the lot {
terry that they appropriated SO, 900 s
Tor special election in February of
80, so as to get the Constitution
liked up before the people could dis
'uss and oppose the measure! l am
surprised the Republicans should
nave the hardihood to mention the
ottery amendment, but still it is in b
,sepipg with the rest of their pre- 81
entions to virtue, for they claim to al
We the genuine Silver party, while IS
heir actions show them to be silver's
-orst elemies.

individuals or CORPORATIONS,

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 4.-The advo-
Gates of the individual incesne tax PROPOSE
ton were triumphant at the meeting of the
democratic members of the ways and means
committee.
The ground had all been argued and fought
over time and time again and the issue was
joined on two propositions, one to levy tax
of 2per cent. against individual incomes over
1900 and against the incomes from corpc-
rations, Chat is the difference between the
gross income and the operating expenses, or
in other words, the net income), and the
proposition offered by Mr.. Cochran, to tax
incomes from corporations 1 per cent and
inheritances per cent, to place a tax of 10
cents on whisky and to restore sugar to the
dutiable list at half cent per pound.

Balance of Power.

In the lower house of congress the power
of the committee on rules was invoked to
break down the obstruction in the path of
tariff debate. An ironclad order was brought
in, setting out the program for the tariff de-
bate and fixing January 25 as the day for
taking the final vote. This resulted in side
tracking Mr.. Boutelle and his Hawaiian
resolution, as when the vote came to be
taken on the adoption of the order the dem
ocrats lacked nine votes of a quorum. At
least twenty democrats at the capitol either
absented themselves from the hall or refused
to answer to their names when called. For
four hours the democratic leaders tried with
roll call after roll call to bring their
men into line, but instead of gaining they
lost votes on each successive roll call. The
populists: with the exception of Mr.. Bell, of
Colorado, also declined to aid the democrats
to get the tariff bill before the house, giving
as the reason for their action the short limit
it was proposed to set upon the debate
There votes would have made up a quorum.
These proceedings are, therefore, of addi-
tional importance, as being the first time in
the history of either branch of congress since
the organization of the third party that its
members have held the balance of power.

What Hammered KIockson.

Fort SCOTT, KAN, January 3.-Since
George Klockson, the grand treasurer of the
knights of Honor, who disappeared from
home several months ago, was found in
hospital at Fresno, California, with his head
and hands severely injured, no attempt has
been made to explain the reason for his sud-
den departure or how he found his way to that
western country. His daughters received
letter from Mrs. Klockson, who is attending
him at the hospital, giving his statement as
follows: After arriving in Kansas City, 1
walked around the depot and was approached
by two strangers, one of whom struck me
on the head with some heavy instrument,
after which was unconscious and knew no
more until revived near a town which l
car with the same two men | had met in
Kansas City. They took all my money,
watch and part of my clothing, and then
elected me from the car. ] walked to Colo
RADIO Springs and then worked my way
west" Mrs. KlOckson says he has a big
wound on the back of his head and that he
was so ragged that she did not know him.
At the time of his arrival at the hospital his
speech was very incoherent and his mental
faculties we're only restored by long con-
versation with Mrs. KlocksOn. She says that
it was while beating his way into Fresno
that he fell from the train and so injured his
hand that it became necessary to amputate
two of his fingers. The doctors say that it
will be a month before he will be we'll enough
to leave the hospital.

Anticipating Future Action.

A significant thing in the session of the SEN
ate was the resolution introduced by Senator
Frye, of Maine, declaring it to be the
sense of the senate that the administra-
ton should commit no overt act of inter-
ference in Hawaii pending the investigation
of the imbroglio by the senate committee on
foreign affairs. The evident object of the res
olution is to declare the sense of the senate
adverse to any American interference either
direct or indirect should any coup d'etat be
resorted to for the purpose of restoring the
queen to the throne. The senator asked that
the resolution lie upon the table for the
present, and it is expected that he will make
it the subject of remarks before asking its
reference to the committee on foreign affairs.
The discussion of private bill called up
by Senator Pugh, indicated a desire on the
part of some of the senators to repeal the
present law which excludes all foreigners
from the right of ownership of real estate in
the District of Columbia, but on the likewise
developed the fact that to this repeal some
other senators are strongly opposed.

On the Hawaiian Investiga-
ton.
After Reviewing the Case the Members
Say That the Acts of the Admin
istration Are Dangerous and
Unwarranted.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 3-The mi
hority of the house committee to whom was
referred the resolution of investigation of
the Hawaiian affair have made a long report.
1t details the history of the case, criticizinS
each step taken and then closes thus:
"After a review and consideration Of the
course of this administration, as appears
from its own records, the minority of your
committee have no hesitation in recommend
ing the adoption of the following substitute
for the resolution reported by the majority:
"WHEREAs, Executive communications to
congress disclose that the executive depart
ment has been furnishing to minister plen-
structions to conspire with the representa-
tives and agents of deposed and discarded
monarchy for the overthrow of a friendly
republican government duly recognized by
all civilized nations, to which said minister
was accredited. and to which his public in
structions pledged the good faith and SYM
patty of the president, the government and
the people of the United States;
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
house that any such Intervention by the ex-
ecutiVe of the United States, its civil or mil
itary representatives or officers, without
authority of congress, is q dangerous and
mwarranted invasion of the rights and dig
mites of the congress of the United States,
and violation of the law of nations; and,
further, that the manner of such attempted
intervention by the executive and methods
used are unworthy of the executive depart
ment of the United States, while the con-
fessed intent of such Intervention is contrary
to the policy and tradition of the republic
and the spirit of the constitution

Treasures Must Collect it Ali.

TOPEKA, January 8.-Attorney General
Little, in reply made to certain boards of
county commissioners, on the subject of
railroad assessments, says:
81 cannot see why the board of county
commissioners of your county or any county
will for one moment hear an application to
reduce the amount of money which by rea-
son of that assessment railroad company
is required to pay. The county boards of
this state have no power to enter into a COM
promise with railroad company or any
body else to reduce the amount levied by
law. Under the statutes all levies are made
prior to the first day of November and on
that day the county clerk is required to turn
over to the county treasurer the books for
the purpose of collecting the amount of such
leyies, and it becomes the duty of the county
treasurer to collect from each person or cor
poration the amount SO fixed by law and the
county treasurer has no power to receive one
dollar less from any individual or corpora
ton than that which they are required to
pay; and if the county treasurer receives
less than the amount of the levy, he there
fore becomes liable to the county and he and
his bondsmen become subject to an action
to recover the amount less that which he
permits them to pay"

CHICAGO, January 5.-Thomas Conner. of
this city, has returned from Brazil, where he
has been looking after the coffee interests
of his business.
"Ihe whole affair is political fight be-
tween the "outs' and the ''ins.'' Mello and
his party became jealous of Peixoto,s infiu-
ence and distribution of patronage, They

commandment of the city by Mello's fleet
followed. The interference of the naval
force OF the other nations at the request of
the business element, confined Mello's OPP
eratlons to the forts at the harbor entrance

little difference in the business portion of the

Brazil a sound business and | believe that
ne will win the fight. The intervention of
the foreign war vessels to prevent a block
ade of the port permits the expectation of
coffee and the export duty being paid keeps
the treasury of the government in a good
condition
Mello recognizes this fact, and it is terribly
exasperating to him to see the coffee laden
vessels go by his fleet day after day. Once
IN possession of the coffee duty he would
have things his own way. With the Nicthe-
roy and America there ought to be no trouble
in chasing the insurgent fleet from Rio, and
that once done the affair is over"

Means Much for Manchester.

MANCHESTER, January 3.-The great ship
canal from Eastman to Manchester is now
an accomplished fact, and theltown of Man.
chester, situated about forty miles from the
seaboard can be reached by sea from New
York in about ten hours after arriving at
Liverpool.
In order to realize the full significance
of this fact and of all that it implies, we have
TO consider the sudden creation of great port
IN direct communication with all parts of
the world, close to and partly within the
confines of an immense commercial city
and surrounded by an industrial population
of 3,25O,O0O.
With the use of the electric light steamers
will be able to navigate night as well as day
and the whole length of the canal will he
traversed in about ten hours.
Some notion of the capacity of the canal
may be drawn when we compare its depth
with the Suez and Amsterdam canals. The
minimum width of the bottom of Suez is
70 feet and the Amsterdam 88 feet and
inches, while that of the Manchester canal is
10 feet. The minimum depth of the Man
chester and Suez waterways is 26 feet and
that of the Amsterdam canal is % feet.

That Suit for Fair Wages.

TOLEDO, O., January 4.-Receiver Gala
way, of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City
railroad filed his answer IN the United States
court to the petition of the employees asking
that he be compelled TO pay living wages.
The receiver claims that while he was ope-
rating the road as president he increased the
wages in proportion to the earnings; that
after his appointment as receiver, owing to
hard times, the earnings of the road de-
creased 8 per cent. and systematic reduc-
ton of all expenses was inaugurated., The
receivers claim that the wages now paid are
equal to or higher than the prevailing rate
on twenty other roads entering ST. Louis or
Toledo. He denies that the new schedule
discriminates and charges that all save 300
employees of the road are satisfied. The
court is asked to allow the new schedule to
remain in force.

TOPEKA. January 8.-The Santa Fe hospi

money for it, about 500, 0o0, is on hand, the
necessary ground has now all been secured,
and work will begin on the construction as
soon as spring opens, and the building
pushed to completion as rapidly as possible.
The trustees some years ago purchased six
lots, for site. at the corner of Sixth and
jefferson streets. Some difficulty has ex-
listed in getting control of sufficient land add
joining the original purchase and the work
has consequently chung fire.
The elimination of the project has just
been reached by the purchase of ten addi-
tional lots bordering the original plat These
are the six beautiful lots at the corner OF
Sixth and Madison, owned by Colonel c. K.
Holiday, for which $4,000 has been paid (:
the purchase, for $4,000, of the four lots on
Madison street, and handsome home there

of the Merchants National bank; the pur-
chase from ex-Mayor Cofran. for 81 900, of
his elegant residence property, covering two
lots on Jefferson street. The ground is al
together, there being no alley in the block
The original purchase of the six lots
amounted to $10,0O0-the total site, includ-
ing the houses, has thus cost $35, coo.
The building will be a magnificent one,
three stories high, and with length of about
40 feet. The grounds will be handsomely
improved.
The hospital is for injured employees of the
Santa Fe railroad, not for diseased people,
and tho whole institution will present the
appearance of beautiful, mammoth resi-
dence block.
The Kellam house will be the home of the
surgeon in charge of the hospital, and in the
Cofran house will live the assistant surgeon.

presided in the chair as president, the board
recognizing her as such, Notwithstanding
the dispatch received by that body to ignore
her. The absence of Mrs. Leases would-be
successor is accounted for from the fact that
her lawyers had secured an injunction, pre-
venting Freedom from filling her place.
All members of the board were present.

Receiver Reinhart Interviewed.

Boston, January 3.-Mr. Reinhart said for
publication: There have been interviews
published, alleged to have been had with local
officers of the system in the west, given wide
currency through the press and sent aboard,
an which interviews these officers are quoted
as having stated the company would be en-
tirely recognized and most of its branches
cut off, and that receivership papers were in
preparation from last summer. 1t is hardly
necessary to say all such assertions are alb
Solutely without foundation.
'The receivers have now concluded ar
ranRements with about all of the holders of
the company's notes, secured by collateral,
the total of which has been stated in the di-
rectors' circular, which prevents sacrifice of
the collateral and secures the same for the
company. This will facilitate the plaus of
the management of the company in the
restoration of its credits, and financial posi-

and What Them

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 4.-Repre-
tentative Hit, of Illinois, was unable to
take any part in the preparation of the mi
nority report on the Hawaiian situation, but
be will support it on the floor when the reso-
luton comes up for debate.
SIT is evidently the determination of the
administration to allow the Hawaiian matter
to drop" said M. Hit, land that may be
the position of the democrats in congress,
but can it drop? Suppose with our policy of
non-interference the Hawaiians accept terms
with Canada for the British government?
Notwithstanding the desire on the part of
the administration to allow the matter to
rest and nothing to be done. the circum-
stances make it live question and one that
cannot be easily disposed off,

More Draymen Than Rich Men.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. January 5.-Repre-
sentative Jerry Simpson, said that the pop
ulist section of congress would solidly sup
port the income tax plan. He regarded it
as opening way for free trade, saying that
a revenue tariff will be necessary as long as
revenues are not raised from incomes or
some other source. Mr.. Simpson asserted
that the plan will be Immensely popular with
the masses.
Representative Tarsney, one of the men,
bers of the ways and means committee who
voted for the income tax, met the objection
that tremendous opposition would come
from the class receiving the incomes with the
iaconlc remark: "There are more men
driving drays than receiving incomes"
