A UNITED STATES CITIZEN
And the Governments WIZ Enter a Vigor
Protest.

And the Governments WIZ Enter a Vigor-
Protest.
WASHINGTON, March 2a-Nothing has
been heard officially at the state depart
ment of the reported sentence by a
French court martial in Madagascar of
ex- United States Consul Waller to twenty
years Imprisonment for corresponding
with the Hovas.
@ If the circumstances are as reported
it is entirely probable that our govern
ment will enter an energetic protest
agtinst this arbitrary action of the French
authorities.
Dir. Waller is citizen of the United
States and not French subject and the
officials here cannot conceive by what
authority the French court martial ar
tempted to assert jurisdiction over an
American citizen not actively engaged
in hostilities against them. The ex- con-
sui has many friends in this country.
AS to the charges made against
him, officials assert that he has
a perfect right TO do so
and, moreover. they fail to see
why Mr.. Waller should not be given the
benefit of a fair trial by the civil courts.
The United States steamer Castine is
now on her way to Madagascar to look
after American interests, having arrived
at Ismali in the Suez canal today.

tinue to agitate the question of 81, ,000

FoR MAYOR. c. a. FELLOWS.


The Republican city central committee
election and there has also been COM
pilation of the lists of the voters.
Candor compels the belief that there
were unfortunate Irregularities that have
delayed a general acceptance of the
actual result
The evidence now public shows that
these Irregularities were not confined to
the interests of one of the two candidates
for mayor.
The JOURNAL has patiently waited for
evidence of fraud that might materially
effect the results. 1t has been shown
that some Democrats voted and that
there was probably some repeating. The
showing, however, has not been such
as the charges led many to believe
would be forthcoming. One list of 17S
alleged Democrats is proven by a careful
investigation to be made up largely of
Republicans and the best informed of
Democrats have been unable to discover
in that list even one-third who are class
ed as members of that party.
The investigation fails to convince the
JOURNAL that the Wholesale frauds at
first charged, exist. The plainest in
ference lies in the lesson of more care
fully guarded primaries in the future. In
looking backward it seems easy to see
how the trouble could have been avoided.
After studiously weighing all the cir
cumstances, the JOURNAL is forced to
the position that Councilman Fellows
has been nominated This paper urged
the Republicans to go to the primaries
and settle the choice there. The citizens
turned out in overwhelming numbers
the vote was so large that the
expression must be taken not only
as a party one, but as one of
the citizens themselves, the Republicans
forming SO large part of the people of
Topeka.
That Mr.. Fellows will be elected at
the polls April End we have no doubt.
He has made good councilm an, has
valuable experience to guide him
in the city's conduct. He
has before him. the opportunity
of making a good record for himself and
for the city. whose affairs he knows are
now in good shape. MIR. Fellows is sue
cessful business man, and if he applies
business principles to the mayors office
he will increase a popularity which has
been a power in his advancement.
The councilmen selected by the Re-
publican primary are men of ability and
reputation for integrity. Two of them
have creditably served in the council
before. The JOURNAL trusts they will
be elected, and that the new mayor and
entire council will work in harmony for
| the city's best interests
Colonel Harrison has shown splendid
ability during his administration and
we trust will yield to the situation grace
fully by Withdrawing his nomination
papers. a bitter contest, under all the
circumstances, is not warranted, and
would stir up municipal animosities to
no DurnOSe.

SNIDER RESIGNS.
Superintendent of Insurance
Surprises Gov. Morrill,.
Tenders His Resignation to Take
Effect at Once.
HIS TERM NOT OUT YET
Geo. T. Anthony Will Probably
Fill the Vacancy.
Briedenthal the Only Populist
Now in the Capitol.

Judge s. H. Snider, state superinten-
dent of insurance, today surprised Gov
ernor Morrill, and the other members of
the Republican administration by ten
dering his resignation as Insurance COM
missioner to take effect April 10.
Governor Morrill, some time ago ap-
pointed George 7. Anthony superinten-
dent of insurance for the term which
commences July 1 next, and it was not
supposed there would be any changes in
the insurance department until that
time
This morning Superintendent Snider
called on Governor Morrill, at the execu-
tive office and rendered his resignation,
which reads as follows:
TOPEKA, Kan, March %, 1895.
To His Excellency, Governor E. n. Morrill,, To-
pe1a, Kan:
S1R:-As l am not in harmony
with the political views of the pres
ent state administration, and believ-
ing as l do that "to the victor
belongs the spoils," and having business
arrangements which will require my en-
tire time; and furthermore, as l have
served in this department two year
April II, 1895, 1 hereby tender my resig-
nation superintendent of insurance, to
take effect April Is, 1895
l have the honor to remain yours truly.
s. II. SNIDER,
Superintendent of Insurance.
Governor Morrill, seemed much sur
prised, but told Superintendent Snider
that he would formally accept his resig-
nation in few days.
1t is expected that Governor Morrill,
will appoint Geo. T. Anthony to fill the
vacancy which has been created, and
that he will enter upon the duties of his
office, which pays $4,000 year, April
10.
Judge Snider says he has several bus
mess offers which he cannot accept while
he is insurance commissioner, and as the
work of the department between now
and July will be very heavy he con-
sidered it to be to his interest to vacate
the office.
The successor of Judge Snider will
have to get out the biennial report be-
tween now and July and do other extra
work which public officials generally
dislike.
The new superintendent of insurance
will have an assistant to appoint at sal
ary of $1,000 year and clerk al 5000
When Judge Snider retires, Bank Com
/ missioner Breidehthal will be the only
Populist left in the state house.

BASEBALL IN TOPEKA.

There Is Likely to BE n Kansas League,
Headed by the Capital City.
There is liable to be q Kansas baseball
league next summer, and Topeka is like
ly to be in it The other towns suggested
are Leavenw orth. Emporia. Abilene, Sa-
lima, Lawrence, Kansas City (Kas.) and
possibly St Joe. The originator and
prime mover in the idea is II. T. Mote of
Topeka. who engineered the Ohio-Ind
ana league in 1898. Mr.. Mote has writ
ten to base balliscs in all of the towns
mentioned, and the letters thus far re-
ceived are decidedly encouraging.
In the meantime work has been going
on at home. In the matter of park, it
has been all but decided to lease the
tract of land east of Potwin, which
formerly comprised athletic park" The
grand stand will face east instead of
west, in order that the spectators may
not have the sun in their faces as hereto
fore. The Topeka street railway compa-
ny has been seen, andits proposition, while
not as liberal as was hoped, is fairly
good. 1t agrees on payment that will
go long ways towards building high
fence around the baseball grounds 1t
is Mr.. Notes idea to let space on the bi g
fence for advertising purposes, and de-
rive revenue from this source The mat
ter of u Kansas league has progressed
so far that in few weeks season tic kets
will be on the market at SO, good for the
series of not less than twenty games.

WHAT Tp MEANS.

Some think that the advance in iron is speculative, and is put up to increase the price of stocks. There is no doubt hut that the rapid rise in the stock of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com pany has made fortunes for great many lucky holders. The stock has ad- vanced from 10 to 40. One of the officials of the sloss Iron and Steel Company who lives iH Birmingham bought d block of the Tennessee Company s stock not long since. and has eorraled S3S.0o0. The ad- vance of S1 ton on iron Friday caused the stock of the Tennessee Company on Wall street 10 jump up several points. But while some think that the advance in iron is speculative, and that it will fall again with a slump. others say that it is legitimate and will be permanent The demand for iron is constantly growing. II is claimed that there is not two weeks supply of pig iron in the United States The manufacturers must have it to fill their orders, and hence must pay a big ger price. Another hopeful feature is that the railroads have not yet begun making necessary repairs. When they do, then iron will be in demand sure enough. The iron men look on the rail- roads as their best customers. Nearly all the railroads are bonded, and their bonds require that the track must be kept supplied with good rails and the rolling stock must be kept up to certain standard. When the railroads begin to run down the bondholders call them to tiuna

HOW TT IS DONE.

The Age-Herald in a recent issue said: "The reason why d silver dollar of the United States is worth twice as much as a Mexican dollar is simply because the government practically redeems it in gold, and not because of it's legal ten der quality" The Fort Payne Journal confesses it's inability to see just how that is done. While it is true that the United States treasury will not redeem a silver dollar with a gold dollar, it will re-
 deem a greenback dollar with gold dol lar. Therefore. if you exchange your sil
 yer dollar for a greenback dollar you can get a gold dollar for it at the treas ury. This makes the silver dollar prac- tcally redeemable in gold. This is the "endless chain" that Cleveland referred to- and is a constant menace to the gold reserve. It can be remedied by wiser legislation than that proposed by the free silver men. The legal tender quality does not make silver or paper dollar equal to a gold dollar. This was shown by the depreciation in greenbacks, which were legal tender, but were not redeemable in gold. When specie payments were re- sumed and the greenback became re- deemable inlgold. it passed at face value.
