NOTHING BUT APPROPRIATIONS.
Senator Tellcr's Prediction Regard
Ing Legislation.

The New York Press today publishes the
following interview with Senator Henry
NJ. Teller, the silver republican from Col
orado, on the political and congressional
outlook:
1T doesn't lock 10 rue as If We shall do
anything but pass the appropriation bills.
We need financial legislation badly enough,
but neither Secretary Carlse's plan nor
what is known as the Baltimore plan is
feasible. In fact, Mr.. Carlisle's is alb
Surd. L have talked with several leading
bankers i'll New York since 1 have been
here and have not run across one yet who
favors it,"
What do you expect will be the out
Gomez"
well, we shall have another issue of
bonds one of these days. This thing will
be kept up until all the gold goes out of the
country, and until people can see for them
selves that gold cannot be kept in the
country by issuing bonds and running into
debt"
.'ShaIl we have an extra session.
mo, l don't look for one, and l don't
believe Cleveland wants one. He knows
well enough he can do nothing either in
the present Congress or in the coming
one, and he's perfectly content to dwell
uron the condition that confrontS u.s.
What good would an extra session do any
way? The House would be republican, the
Senate acknowledgements, and Mr.. Cleve-
land would continue to hold his own views
the government with varied views, and no
prospect of harmonious action
who is the favorite presidential candi-
date in the northwest, and will the west
crn states drop into the republican column
in 1867
1T will be necessary for the republicans
to nominate a man for President who is IN
favor of bimetallism If they want to carry
the states of the northwest. Sherman says
he is in favor of a restricted use of silver
according to newspaper accounts, and
Reed and Mckinley are understood to both
favor bimetallism. Harrison is squarely
with the silver men. If the republicans
should nominate a single standard man
states. Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Mon
tana and Nevada are certain to vote for
the presidential candidate who favors sill
yer, and the chances are that California,
Oregon and Washington will do the same
Kansas and Nebraska would in all proha-
hility follow the example of their sister
states of the west. Their states are
naturally republican, but if the gold stand
ard man is nominated they are sure to be
found in the democratic column, and es-
pecially If Adlai Stevenson is made the
democratic presidential candidate in 1896,
is most likely to be the case from the
not dictate who the next President will be,
she will dictate the financial policy, for in
the Senate Colorado's vote will be as in
fuential and of as much importance as
New York's, and the west and the south
will all be in favor of silver policy. So
that, you see, the silver men will control
the Senate, no matter who the President is
and will have something to say as to the
future financial policy of the government"

true, however, and partly tor this

Stunned honorary titles almost as
earnestly Us Others have coveted
them. Speaking about this subject,
the Boston Waterman says:
Judge Peters Is authority for tho
statement that after Lafayette had
been made q doctor OF laws by one Of
our colleges, Baron Steuben was IN
great fear lest he should meet with
d similar mishap Having TO pass
through college town where the
Marquis had been thus listing Ished,
the old warrior halted his men, and
thus addressed them:
"You shall spur de horse veil, and
ride tr0o do town like dc mischief, for,

The tough OLD soldier had no more
respect for such q distinction than
his cOuntryman, Handel, who refused
to accept the degree Of doctor OF

There Is story that long ago
when college degrees were scattered
somewhat lavishly, an iiliterate rich
man having been hon0red with dc.
gree by a college which he had laid
under obligations. made a wager that
he could obtain . similar honor for
his servant
lie won the wager and encouraged
by his success, made another that he
could obtain degree for his horse.
This time, however. he lost. The
college authorities got wind of his
game, and in answer to his letter re-
| qucsting a d0ctorate for SO and 80,
the President wrote courteous note,
saying that though the trustees
were very anxious to oblige so good
a friend OF the college, they had
found on examination of the rec
ords that though they had
once conferred a degree upon a jack
ass there was no precedent for cOa-
ferring one upon horse.

AN EXPLANATION.

To The PEOPLE OF CRAWFORD Co. !:
1 desire to make u full statement of
my connection with the much talked
OF "Weaver Circular The facts are
these: I had nothing to do either
with the preparation or circulation of

Or reading word or line on the
paper, signed my name to it, without
knowing what 1t was, and the first
time ever saw the circular was when
1t was printed In the Van Buren,
PRESS. Had 1 known what it was
would not have signed It; and, but for
the fact that l was an attorney in his
case, and did not think I could afford
to do or say anything to prejudice
COL Weaver In advance of his trial, I
would have made this explanation at
the time the circular was first made
public. admit I should have ex.
amined the paper before signing it;
butIdid what every lawyer connected
with case does In these matters:
trusted the man, who presented the
paper, signed 1t and thought no more
about 1t.
I nake this explanation III justice
to myself, In justice to my friends and
In justice to those who have honored
me with their confidence and support.
The people whom have represented
in the General Assembly, and who I
am asking to give me what has been
given to every faithful Democratic
officer who has held office In Craw-
ford County: second term when de-
sired, and submit, that for one mistake
l should not be stricken down by my
friends and party, and ask at your
hands fair and just considerat ton,

leading speech of the evening was
that of James H. Berry, a one-leg-
ged Confederate veteran, and one
of the best and most earnest ora
tors III the Senate. Speaker Crisp,
who was present, said ofhis speech:
MIR. Berry's speech was received
with great enthusiasm. He was
earnest and eloquent, speaking
with great feeling of the devotion,
self.sacrifice and bravery of the
Confederate soldiers. He was
frequently interrupted with zap.
plause and at his conclusion there
was the widest cheering. It was
one of the very best speeches of
the kind l have ever heard, and as
an ex-Confederate myself, felt
proud of him."
