Will the Senate Dscldel

We have a question which we desire
to refer to the Wellington Senate for
an authoritative decision.
Mr.. A received a IS bill from Q
bank. He owed B $3.50 and paid him
this bill and B credited A five dollars
on account. B owed c ESQ and paid
him this bill and G gave him $3.50 in
silver in change. G hsd borrowed
$500 from D and paid him this $500
bill and D gave him receipt for that
amount. D owed A 500 and used
this same bill, together with $500 in
other bills, 10 paying the debt.
When A attempted TO deposit biz
money in his bank 10 was discovered
that this $500 bill was Q counterfeit.
His bank refused 70 accept 1t. He
took IL back to the other bank fron
which he had originally received 1t.
The bank gave him $500 In gold In
stead Of 1t and burned the sounter-
felt.
Now In what condition were the ac-
counts between A, B, G and D lefts
Had this counterfeit 800 paid $50
Of these several debts? Was B liable
10 G for the $3.50 In silver he received
from him? These questions should
be answered on the basis OF the strict
legal rights Of the several parties

Possible Alliance with England.

Chicago, Oct. pa special to the
Daily News from Washington says:
The United States will not consider
the suggestion of Lord Salisbury for
an alliance. for the building Of the
Nicaraguan canal, and the direction
Of South and Central American af-
fairs.
1t is understood that the sugges.
tion did not come in way to require
formal reply.
The proposition was this: That
Great Britain would be satisfied il
this country would permit her, with.
out interference on our part, to take
possession by force of all the territory
she Claims from Venezuela and would
agree to the joint construction and
ownership of the Nicaraguan canal.
She would then pledge herself not to
seek the acquisition Of any more terri
tory on this continent and would rec
og0ize and join us in enforcing the
Monroe doctrine. 1t was represented
that the governments of South and
Central America were irresponsible
and did not afford proper protection
to foreigners and foreign interests,
and that Great Britain and the
United States should Join in COmpell-
ing proper respect to the citizens or
subjects and the interests of the
United States and Great Britain, one
country or both, and to maintain a
naval force in the vicinity to protect
the interests OF citizens of either
country.
1t was intimated that unless such
an arrangement could be made, Great
Britain would not recognize the Mon
roe doctrine as having any force and
that she would be compelled to take
such steps as she deemed necessary to
protect British interests on the con-
tinent. This suggestion is treated as
having no reference to the letter of
Secretary OlneY on the subject Of the
Monroe doctrine, and is entirely IN
formal. The tone Of the delayed re-
ply to Mr.. Olneys letter, will, how
ever, be influenced by the manner in
which the informal suggestion is re.
ceived. Being satisfied the United
States will not consider a proposition
for an alliance, probably none will he
formally made, and the subject will
be ignored as If never broached.
The reply to Mr.. Olney is expected
to be simply the alternative PROPOSE
tion that Great Britain cannot recog-
nize the Monroe doctrine and will
protect her interests in her own way.

Several bills were laid upon the table,

Defaulter In q High Place.

Washington. Oct. ao.-Nr. Francis
]. Kierhoffer, disbursing officer Of the
state department, today rendered his
resignation and it was accepted.
This action on the part OF Mr.. Kier-
hotter is the resultof an investigation
into his accounts, which has been In
progress some time. 1t Is said the
investigation has developed irregu-
larities In bookkeeping.
1t was learned that Mr.. Kierhoffer
resigned at the request Of Secretary
Olney this afternoon. This is believ-
ed 20 be the outcome Of an inyestiga-
tion of the disbursing officers ac-

some time, and it is rumored irregu-

effect can be obtained. 1t issaid that
the discrepancies cover a long period
and involve a large sum OF money.

The Immigrants which the elder
had with him were for the greater
part dull and stOlid looking people,
upon whom the mark Of peasantry
was ineffaceably fixed. They were
families for the greater part, though
among them was sore unmarried

Of home and life.

Lookout for Frauds.

The election is at hand; the Popu-
list party is composed Of reading
and thinking people, who know the
reforms needed, and the interests of
the people can safely be entrusted to
them.
There are, however, duties aside
from voting, that require the atten-
ton of every Populist-ene is to see
that We have "a fair election and an
honest count" The frauds practiced
by Republicans during reconstruc-
ton, have, for the last four years,
been utilized by the Republicans Of
Kansas. 1t is of little use for US to
vote for reforms, if we permit un.
scrupulous politicians to defraud US
in election, and turn victory into de-
feat. The frauds practiced last fall
should have placed prominent Sum-
ner county Republican politicians
in the penitentiary, and similar ones
are liable to be used IN the coming
election. Be on the alert for frauds;
note any defects in ballots or viola
tions Of election laws and promptly
report the same to your committee
man, with the request that he report
to the chairman.
If each Populist does his duty in
this respect, we will stop the frauds
in election, send the scoundrels to
the penitentiary or compel Republi-
can courts to stultify themselves.
