SILVER IN THE WEST
John Mayo Palmer Talks of tho
10 to l Sentiment.
HOLDS THE REINS OF DEMOCRACY.
The Son of the Venerable Senator Thinks
the Movement is Growing, and Be-
Meves the Opponents of Sn-
yer Lack Organization.

CHICAGO, April 29.-John Mayo Pal
mer, son of United States Senator
Palmer, and member of the executive
committee of the Honest Money league,
returned yesterday from Springfield.
Speaking of the silver sentiment
throughout Illinois, Mr.. Palmer said:
The sentiment in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver at the ratio Of Is to /.
without international conference or agree
meet. seems to have complete possession of
the democracy of Illinoise outside of Cook
county. 1 conferred with men of all shades of
opinion upon this subject, with republicans as
well as democrats. l talked with republicans
because sometimes lockers on see more of the
game than the players, L met old friends with
whom l could talk confidentially and got the
impression that. while there is a very strong
and respectable sentiment throughout the
state in opposition to this currency theory,
yet the opponents of 16 to I, are without
ganization apparently without ambition to
succeed and are singularly silent, while the
silver men are vigorous, active and aggressive.
It seems to me utterly impossible that the
opponents OF 10 to l silver should they take
part in the June convention, could make any
serious impression. The convention will ua-
queStionably declare in favor of IS to 1,
without conference with any nation. We op-
pose that view, although there some diff
ferenceS of opinion among US, will. as rule
take no part in the convention, although in
some counties delegations will be sent COM
posed of leading men, representing both views,
wholly irrespective of the sentiment in the
particular locality.

he ChoerfulIy Withdrew.

Rev. William G. Pettis, who was Sc
lected to deliver the memorial sermon
at Chattanooga, Tenn, on the Sunday
before the national federaD decora-
tion, May 30, has been asked to with
draw, and has done so. Rev. Pettis is
the rector of St. Pauls Episcopal
church, having one of the wealthiest
and most fashionable congregations in
the city. A committee of ladies went
to him and requested him to preach the
memorial sermon. "Why, l am an old
rebel soldier" said DIR. Pettis, in sur
prise, thinking they did not know
that he fought for the- confederacy.
The ladies said they were aware of it,
and on being further importuned the
minister consented, and that fact was
duly published. All went we'll until
the matter was suddenly brought up
in the grand army posts. Many of
DIR. Pettis' flock are grand army men
and insisted that he be retained to
preached the sermon. They were over
ruled, and committee was sent to DIR.
Pettis to ask him to withdraw, which
he cheerfully did.

the wicked, false and slanderous statements

BILE assault Is made upon more than three
million pious, earnest, Cody and irreproacha-
able young Christians in America 1t is un-
parelleled in it's baseness and enormity and
should consign its author to everlasting infamy
and contempt. We therefore ask that the
premature from which it emanted be degraded
unfrocked and deposed from the high position
which he has so relentlesSly disgraced. We
are encouraged to make this petition from the
many protestatiOns which you, as well as the
Holy See you ably represent, have recently
fully and earnestly made with full confidence
that you will give it immediate and careful
consideration.

THE WEALTHY HEAD THE LIST.
About Twenty Per Cent Have Failed to
Make Income Tax Returns.


Make Income Tax Returns.
WASHINGTON, April 2G.-Revised call
culations indicate that about 20 per
cent of the persons subject to the in
come tax have failed to make the re-
turn prescribed by the law. The first
estimate placed the number OF dclin-
quents at about 10 per cent. Each day
adds to the difficulties and perpleXities
in the enforcement of the cmusculated
statute. Although secrecy is properly
observed by the officials in regard to
individual cases, it is generally under
stood that many of the wealthiest men
in the country have ignored the law
completely. This is said to be particu-
larly the case with several well-known
millionaires, whose incomes are deriv-
ed mainly from rents. The Vanderbilts
are classed in this category. and sever
al rich men in Philadelphia, Baltimore
and this city are said to have failed to
inform the internal revenue officers of
the character and extent of their in
come.

Loss of the rlorlda orange Crop.

Says Washington dispatch: First
Assistant Secretary Sims, of the in
terror department, has returned to the
city from Florida, where he owns an
orange grove. He says that the first
cold snap of the past winter, which
came in December, destroyed $500, 600
boxes of unpaclxed fruit. In spite of
the great damage done, this storm was
blessing in disguise, as it checked the
growth of the trees and kept them
from being in blossom when the
second cold snap came Hundreds of
trees escaped that would have been
killed had it not been for the first cold
wave. Said Mr.. Sims: at has been
truly said that if every house in Flor
ida had been burned the loss would
have been less than resulted from the
destruction of orange trees. The peo-
pie are full of pluck, however, and
have confidence in the future.

THE EMOTIONS AT PULLMAN.
without Work and Behind I'm Rent, the
Old Workmen Must Go.

CHICAGO, April 29.-One hundred and
fifty families at Pullman, who have
paid no rent to the Pullman company
since the beginning of the great strike,
have been served with notices of evic-
ton. All of the heads of these fami-
lies were employed in the shops before
the strike, but none of them was able
to get back. The Pullman officials say
there is no "black list" but by an odd
coincidence certain men are invariably
told that there is no work for them,
while other men are taken on even
while the foreman is asserting that no
more help is needed. The man who is
blamed for this is Manager Middleton.
The sufferers believe that Mr.. Pullman
is ignorant of their condition.
