A FAIR SHOW.

The Republicans of the city and county
are to be congratulated on the fact that
they can go to the primaries Saturday be-
tween II o'clock and and express their
Individual choice for every candidate,
including those for representative, com
missioner AMI all the county officers.
The Crawford county system gives
each voter a chance to name the candi-
date for each place and have his vote
counted just as he casts it.
The Australian system is also to be fol-
lowed. Every man can get his ticket
ready and put it in the box without being
"bulldozed" or taking any part in trades
which often entirely thwart the wishes
of the voter under the delegate syste IA
The result should make a satisfactory
ticket, as the candidates who get the
most votes will be the ones to make it
up To secure fair expression the Re-
publicans have only to go to the polls
and vote.

CHASING A BURGLAR.
Hon. A. L. Williams Runs One Out O
His Residence.

Hon. A. L. Williams Runs One Out OF
His Residence.
Hon. A. L. Williams chased burglar
out of his residence at the corner of 18th
and Fillmore between one and two
o'clock this morning.
The burglar was discovered in the
large library by Mr.. Williams
who sounded an alarm. The
burglar who was a colored man left
in haste via the front door. As he went
out cartridge from his revolver drop
ped on the porch and was picked up by
Mr.. Williams who although not a pro-
fessional sprinter kept close up to the
fleeing burglar for two blocks. It was
only when the burglar turned and shout
cd back ''If you don't stop I'll shoot you"
as he fourished a revolver that Mr.. Will
liams gave up the chase. Nothing is
missed from the house and it is supposed
the burglar was discovered as soon as he
got in.
Two other attempted burgIaries were
reported to the police this morning from
the western part of the city.
Chief Lindsey says he needs about
three extra men to patrol that part of the
city. He thinks if that were done there
would be fewer burglaries in that dis
trict.

WANTS TO BE ENDORSED.

Commissioner Knight in his formal
announcement in the Capital says that if
nominated on Saturday and reelected
shall use my best efforts to deserve the
honor of such an endorsement"
This raises two pertinent questions:
First, after he has served nine years will
he want three more as another endorse
ment; second, isn't there a likelihood
that if he be nominated he will take it
as an endorsement of his method of
giving out coal contracts at high rates
without asking for bids; of build
ing public works without the safeguard
of an Inspector; an endorsement of
Mr.. Knights apparent desire to make
the office one for life; an endorsement
of his plan for young girls to do the
work of an experienced assessor, pro-
vided the young ladies be members of a
commissioners family.
Six years ought to be enough of an
endorsement to allow a commissioner to
step down gracefully. Knights nomina-
ton is another way to reduce the num-
Der of Republicans on the board, by en-
couraging the opposition to name a
strong, unobjectionable man who would
be willing to serve one or two terms at
most.

The action of the PopuIist state CEN
trail committee in passing a resolution
against of1ceholders sitting as delegates
in the convention did not mean anything.
The officers of the state were among
the most prominent on the floor during
the convention. Gov. LewelIing's pri-
vate secretary. Col. Fred Close, was
chairman of the committee on perma :
nent organization Two members of the
board of penitentiary directors had places
in their deleg atiOns-George Hollenback
of Comanche county and T. FL. Butler of
Barton county. The prominent colored
man on the floor was James Beck of Pot
tawatonnie county, who is deputy oil in
spector. Ever since the Popu1ist party
got into power in this state it has shown
a tendency to drift away from its princi-
pies. Holding office will shake the princi-
pies of most men.

The Secretary of the Treasury is
silver dollars to limited ex-
tent from silver bullion already on
hand. Every dollar coined, except
the amount of the governments gain
thereon, is heldi'o r-deem the treasury
note issued in its purchase law which
was repealed last fall The dollars
now being coined remain in the treas
ury until treasury notes are present
cl with the request that they be re-
deemed and without the request for
gold, Then the silver is paid for the
treasury note, and the treasury note
is retired and cancelled. There is no
increase in the money volume by the
transaction, except to the amount of
the signiorage. The, dollars coined
since Cleveland was inaugurated
March +, '93, amount to 81, 597 ,228,
according to the secretary's statement
as given in the dispatches. OF this
amount 81, 159, 900 was coined IN Ju-
Iy a:d August of this year. The gain
or signiorage on the 1893, 32S was
1920, O69, which amount was passed
into the treasury and paid out and
therefore added that much to the
money volume. The per capita addi-
ticn to the money volume is someth-
ing less tan one per cent. At the
rate silver has been coined under the
present administration it will take
about % years to coin the bullion on
hand and give the government the all
vantage Of the so million dollars of
seigniorage, And after the 90 years
shall elapsc the only addition to the
money volume will be the so million
seigniorage-an increase in 90 years
Of less than SO cents per capita Of our
present population. Notwithstanding
this coinage supposed to be for poll
tical etfecD the fact stands out that
not one pound of silver now outside
Of the q. S. Treasury can be coined
into silver dollars until the de,nOnetiz-
alton act of 1898 is set aside. Under
the present laws there can be no in
crease of the money volume by coin
age af silver dollars except the in.
crease through the signiorage in coin
ing bullion now on hand.
