MAJ. BRECKENRIDGE .is filling the papers in the eastern end of the dis trict with clippings from New York and Boston papers. Maj. Breckin- ridges position on silver, trusts and party policy generally is very pleas ing to the Democracy of that sec. tion of the nation. He might move to New York by next election and run for Congress. He has misrep- resented Southern or Western constituency his last time.-Green- wood ,Leoder
 Such words are truly pathetic. It is always sad to note misrepresen- tation. The Leoder is Judge Lit ties organ and such cant will, as a matter of course, be taken for what it is worth. Maj. Breckinridge will survive such puerile attacks. Still it is sad to know that any true Ar kansas citizen Is not proud of Breck- inridge's record. AS to his position on silver, he was not alone. Many other Democrats, whose fealty is un- questioned, worked shoulder to shoulder with him. In regard to trusts and party policy, he has done more than bis defamers. He has been loyal to his principles and to party doctrines. There has not been a traiterous action in his career, and that is more than many so-called Democrats can say.
 The Leodef is one Of the common veal army of kiekers which makes our party almost a house divided against itself. As for the praise of Eastern papers, it is no disgrace. Breckinridge will be receiving recog- hilton at the hands of broadminded journals throughout the land when the Ltader is forgotten. By the way. what is the Lposier anyhow?

Nor so the Chicagoan

Nor so the Chicagoan. He roars -Jesu, how he roars From the Tower to Oratory, from the Thames to Hampstead Heath he airs his glorious native pride; and London is not in it Same way in Paris same way everywhere. Take the wings of the morning and fly to the uttermost parts of the earth, and, 10 he is there-the Chicagoan, loud and loyal. God bless him!-Chicago Record.
 That is the Chicago man from the Chicago standpoint and from every other standpoint. The bitterest New Yorker could not have de scribed him better with pen dipped in gall and wormwood. Loud and loyal 1 Those are the words. Loud always. Loyal when there's any thing in it.-St Louis Republic.

but they propose to increase the ratio to the neighborhood of twenty nine for one. That is to say, twenty nine ounces of silver are to stand ln the coinage for one of gold, which is about the commercial relation of the two metals.
 This is proposed upon the assump- ton that silver will never be any cheaper than it now is, but to guard against any possible depreciationin the market price they recommend also the invention of soma kind of policy, like certain forms of insur- ance contract, which shall take into account the future fluctuations of the metal and readjust the ratio ae- cording to the event, Just how this arrangement is to be made to work we are not told, but the more san guine of the bimetalists are con yinced that something can be ln- geniously. contrived for that pur- pose. and it is not so simple Q faith as that of the wild and woolly sort of bimetalists who put their trust in l the fat Of the law 10 make any ar bitrary number of ounces of one metal go for any arbitrary number of ounces of another metal. Eve ming lSetaatag.
 True to the letter. The proper and only way to effect the result so eagerly sought after is by inter national agreement. Until that is done the United States must adopt a conservative policy This is the point Mr. Breckinridge has been fighting for all along He is a bi- metalist, but it is useless for one nation to attempt anything like die tating terms to the whole world. Such a course is worse than folly.

Wanted for Murder.

l. Marshal Vigneaux arrested last
Saturday young negro giving his
name as James Lewis on a charge of
being dangerous and suspicious
character. Lewis is about "a years
old, S feet II inches high, rather
light in color, and weighs about 145
pounds. He has a scar on the left
leg just above the ankle, this wound
was doubtless inflicted by bullet.
Lewis answers very strongly to the
description of Willie Green, wanted
in Tallulah, La, for the murder Of
Mitchell, near Davis Bend, Missis-
sippi. So firmly convinced is Mar
shall Vigneaux of the indemnity of his
prisoner, that he has communicated
with the authorities of Tallulah, and
will hold Lewis until satisfied that
he is not the murderer wanted. A
reward Of $500 is offered for the
capture Of Green.

The Clemenceau Case.

Miss Atkinson was at her best last night
in the role of liza, in the French play, The
Clemenceau Case. Her conception of the
part WAS the ;true' one-that'' of a beautiful
young girl, somewhat vain and foolish but
not bad at heart, who formed and
fashioned by scheming heartless mother,
whom she loved, into bold and designing
woman, devoid of moral sense and full of
guile and all sensual attractions; one who
loved her husband up to her full capacity,
but who prferred to be his mistress rather
than his wife in order to escape wife S
restraint. Miss Atkinson's acting was finished
as we'll as full Of power, portraying in a life
like manner the comn,ingled and changed
feelings and emotions of her part.
There was nothing in the presentation of
the play that could offend the public taste
be detrimental to morals; it being the
other hand a powerful object-lesson sermon
on the dangers and temptations of the world,
the flesh and the notwithstanding Item.
Maud Atkinson will open on Feb. I a four
days engagement at Faik's Opera House,
with this popular and sensational play.
