ALBA, IA, April 10.-A clash between
the mine operators and the striking
miners at the Cincinnati mines, in the
southern part OF AppanoOse county,

GRAVEYARD Ghouls.

TOPEKA, Kas., Dec. 1.-THE recent
revolving grave robberies in this city
have aroused the people to the highest
pitch of indignation, and at S o'clock
tonight mob began forming IN the
streets, the avowed purpose being to
burn the Kansas Medical College, in
which, during the past three days, the
bodies of two well known women have
been found. Both bodies were stolen
from their graves soon after burial.
The police learned this afternoon that
there was movement on foot to as
semble a mob to sack the institution,
which is located at Twelfth and Tay-
lor streets. This evening the faculty
of the college called upon the police
for protection. The students We're all
sent home and large squad of police
men we're detailed to guard the college
building. A detail of miliatiamen
from Battery B of this cityis stationed
at their arsenal to prevent capture
of the arms stored there. Upon the
request of the sheriff the Governor
has ordered the infantry company at
Lawrence to be ready to respond to a
call at any moment. The men are

EMINENCE, Ky, Dec. l1.-Thlrty
shots were fired upon train load OF
Louisville Republicans at this place
last night as they were returning from
the Inauguration of Governor. Brad
lev. All the windows in the last car
of the long train which left Frankfort
at7:3O p. M, were shot out and the
bullets tore off large quantity of
splinters of woodwork in the coach.
There were several ladies in the coacn
and the excitement intense. At the
first vo ley everybody lay flat on the
floor. The firing continued rapidly.
The train was just slowing up at Eml-
nence and in moment it came to a
standstill. Three men were seen along
the track, and as the train started up
again ten more shots were fired
through the windows. Fortunately
only one person was hurt. One man S

About the Size of 1t.

Banker Benedict, Mr.. Cleveland
dearest friend, announces IN an inter:
view that he does not think Cleveland
has any third term aspirations, but
will not state positively that he would
refuse the honor were it thrust upon
him. In commenting on the above
the Spartanburg Herald says: MIR;
Cleveland wishes and will take any
thing he can get, but we have to-
mucn faith in the common sense and
political foresight of the Democracy to
think that it will take the suicidal step
of attempting to foist upon the Amerl
can people as candidate for president
the grotesque mistake who now occu
pies the White House and who is well
beloved of the enemy in that ne
wrecked his party and blasted his
party's hopes. With Cleveland as "a
candidate Tor president, the Democra,
cy would be unable to carry a single
Southern State" The Herald sizes up
the situation exactly. As we said BE-
fore the Democratic party IS gong to
be beaten anyhow, and we would like
TO see Mr.. Cleveland lead the torlorh
hope. At the end of the election De
would have all the concelt knocked
out of him.

The Lords PRAYER Prohibited.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 11l.-The. State su-
perintendent Of public. instruction re-
Gently received an inquiry whether or
not the law prohibited the opening of
public schools with recital of the
Lords prayer and asking the advice
of the superintendent when o4e per-
son in the district objected to the SER
vice. Attorney General Childs to
whom the matter was referred, holds
that the service is in violation of Sec
ton 10 of the State .Constitution,
which provides that no person shall
be compelled to attend, erect, or sup
port any place of worship. As the
Constitution requires the people of the
State to support its schools, a religious
service at the opening of the school is
unconstitGtionaland cannot be main
tained where there is an objection.

Crisp for EimetalisEn.

4 Few weeks ago Speaker Crisp
made an address before the Georgia
Legislature on the subject of the res
ration of silver to its proper place IN
our monetary system Mr. Crisp took
the following positions on the subject:
1st. That the Democratic party was
and had been the friend of silver as
primary money at q ratio OF l to 10.
That since the demonetization of sill
yer IN 1878 that every opportunity
that the Democratic party has had to
vote on the subject that the vote stood
10 over 100 in favor to 20. against the
reconciliation of silver. and that the
only real difference over the subject
in the party has arisen SINCE 1898.
9. That the demonitization of silver
had made the demand for gold great
er. and therefore dearer, and as the
value of gold enhanced, it being the
only primary money, products have
decreased in value, and prices and wa
ges have gone down lower and lower,
and will continue so as long as gold IS
! the only redemptive or primary mon
ev, because it IS insufficient to meet
the wants of money among our peo'
pie.
Sd. That the scarcity Of gold would
make the necessity for, a sale of bonds
of the government to meet its obliga-
tions, which are payable in gold, and
the continued necessity would involve
the government in a debt which was
useless, and could be avoided by US
ing silver as money.
4th. That the obstruction Of silver
as money was only beneficial to those
who had fixed incomes and who were
not dependent upon wages and agri.
culture for living, and thus the gold
standard was made to subserve the in
terest of the weather. classes and COM
munities.
The address was a good onss and
coming from statesman 9of Mr..
Crisp's position and character will be
read with great interest everywhere.

THE POLITICAL FUTURE.
A Continuous Series of Events for Nearly a
Year Ahead.

COLUMBIA. Dec 12.-Some interest,
ing times are ahead in this State and
city for the next eight or ten months
or more. Although there has been a
continuous round Of political matters
since the Darlington war, there seems
to be no prospect of things becoming
perfectly normal right away. All are
familiar with the campaign which pre-
ceeded the calling OF the Constitution,
al convention, and all are much more
familiar with the events of the three
months session Of the convention
which has just been brought to close.
The next thing on the programme
now is the annual session Of the gen
eral assembly, which begins immedi
ately after the holidays, and is almost
certain to continue for two months or
longer. 1t will be the most interest.
ing session Of recent years. 1t will
have to practically remake the laws
of the State so as to make them con-
form to the new organic law The
genera. laws which it is compelled to
enact will require the most careful
preparation, and prolonged session
is an absolute necessity.
The city of Columbia has some inter-
ests that will have to be looked after
before the legislature when it gets
down to work, and the legislative com
mittee Of the city council, appointed
by Mayor Sloan, expect to meet with
in the next week or@two and get these
matters in shape for presentation.
One matter will look to the extension
of the city limits, it is said. This has
been talked of for some time, and 1t
meets with general favor.
By the time the general assembly
has completed its work, the Columbia
municipal campaign will be on, the
election taking place in the early
spring. No probable candidate for
mayor against Mayor Sloan has yet
been spoken of. There are good
many aldermanic bees hummlng IN
certain bonnetS, however, and an in
teresting skirmish is anticipated.
This over and the State campaign
will open to run through the summer
up to the following September. 1t IS
pretty generally understood that Gov
ernor Evans is to be given Senator
Irby's place in the United States Sen
ate, and will not be in the race for
governor again. AS possible candi-
dates for governor one hears men
toned the names of Senator Watson
of Edgefeld, Congressman McLaurin,
W. D. Evans, a. H. Patterson and
George Johnstone The camp aign
will very likely be on different lines
from any of the preceding campaigns
since 1890. Numerous candidates are
being mentioned for the minor posi-
tions. DR.. Zimmerman is talked of as
possible candidate for State treasur-
er, with Col. John T. Sloan Of this
city as his successor for lieutenant
governor. There will doubtless be a
pretty race also for the fourth place
on the supreme court bench. Col.
Robert AIdricn, Ira B. Jones and D.
S. Henderson are the most likely can
didates now. It is as yet too early,
however, TO assume to make predlc-
tions as 10 the nature or results OF the
coming campaign.-State.
