Some women never acquire the knack.
of tying a bow knot. In fact, many
women do not, judging from the
strange, upside-down, wrongside-out
affairs one sees in ribbons and sashes
and bonnet strings. The process is
simplicity itself after it is once learned.
Always to put the upper string over
the under, and never the reverse, is the
whole thing in a nutshell. If this
same upper string is again brought
through the middle loop before pulling
it smartly into place it will make the
unloosable knot which is necessary in
shoe 1aces, for instance.

Mr.. MCPHERSON LOST, TOO.
Boston Syndicate Knocked Out of a $751;
900 Land Grant.

Boston Syndicate Knocked Out of $75,-
900 Land Grant.
SANTA FE, N NJ, June IA $4,000
Boston speculation in Arizona was wiped
out today by the court of private land
claims. 1t is known as the Calabasas
land grant, located ten miles north of
Nogales.
There are 81. 900 acres in the tract. A
Boston syndicate bought it some years
ago under the impression that the grant
title was all right, and established cat
tie ranch upon it. Some settlers went in
and took up claims as upon public lands,
in the belief that the grant title was not
good.
The court, by unanimous vote today,
decided that the Boston syndicate has no
title whatever, and that the grant claim
has no basis. The petition of the Boston
syndicate asking to have the grant con
firmed is ordered dismissed. Ex- Presi-
dent Nickerson of the Santa Fe is one
of the capitalists interested in the grant.
The settlers. who have carried on con-
test with the syndicate nearly ten years,
win complete victory.

AGAINST THE PARTY.
Senator Morgan Says Democrats
Are for Silver.
Goldbugs in it Directly Oppose
It's Principles.
RESCUE THE ERRING.
The Gold Democrats Should be
Won Back.
Some Advice for Democrats and
the Party.

MEMPHIS Tenn, June 14-At the ses-
sion of the silver convention last night
letter from Senator John T. Morgan of
Alabama was presented, but not read, on
account of the press of business before
the convention. In it the senator says:
"This convention at Memphis is the
natural, if not necessary result of the
peculiar meeting recently held
there under the patronage as
well as the approval of our
Democratic administration and your
meeting will be a protest against the
platform adopted under such auspices in
hostility to the esta blished creed of the
Democratic party.
"They have appealed against the judg-
ment of the party, SO often pro.
nounced in support of the equal
rights of gold and silver at
the mints; and they demand that
this appeal shall be heard and de-
cided, outside the councils of the Demo
cratic party, by a general muster of all
the enemies of silver money to be
found in every political organization.
I'VE invite all the friends of money
that was sound until silver was struck
below the fifth rib by its jealous brother
and having survived the assassin is still
sound to come into the Democratic
camp and to aid US in healing the
wounds of this faithful servant of the
people aud the government.
ut should be considered a just re-
proach to an ld-fashioned Jackson De-
mocrat to go outside the party to find
new creed, as to gold and silver, or to
defend our time honored and time
proven doctrine as to these metals; but,
when the president passes the threshold
and oversteps the line. with our colors in
his hands, it is our duty to follow him
and rescue them from the dishOnored
position of sheltering a "mugwump'
administration.
more than 80 per cent of the Demo
cratic senators in that body when Sena-
tor Harris and l entered it, were in
favor of the Immediate and full restera-
ton of the laws of 1887, signed by Jack
son. There was not then a single gold
standard Democrat in that body.
e'There are some there now; only
few aud they are wearing
silver masks to disguise them
selves, but the great body
of Democrats in the senate, from
that day to this have upheld the old
silver is the only safe aud constitutional
currency
"Our duty as Democrats is very sim
pie one 1t is to follow the old land
marks and adhere more closely to our
principles, the louder and stronger the
tempest may rage; and when the seduc-
tions of wealth and patronage are offered
to bribe them away from the course OF
virtuous integrity, let the people say
Get thee behind me, satan and satan will

North Topeka, Kan,
June II, 1895.
To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
I notice in Tuesdays Capital some
speculation about the coming meeting of
the county vice presidents of the Ma
tional Bimetallicleague in Kansas under
the call of Vice President Shinn of the
state organization.
AS l understand, the national leag ue
includes in it's membership persons who
believe in the use of both metals as STAN
dard money; and who have united in this
organization with the view of creating
by public meetings and a general dis
tribution of papers, speeches, pamphlets.
etc, friendly to this purpose, such a SEN
timent among the people as will result
in bringing silver back to its former con-
ditlon In this country when it was
IN every respect equal with gold
This statement fully embraces the
plans OF the league and all its endeavors

fit

1t is absolutely necessary to provide
two OF three things in behalf of silver
before 1t is restored to its condition once
existing under the law.
Pass 1t in like quantities on like terms
through the mints as gold.

CHESTERI.LONG ON SILVER
He Is Absolutely Opposed to Grover
CIeveland's Ideas.

Congressman Chester I. Long. of
Medicine Lodge, has been in Topeka to-
day consulting authorities in the state
library.
Mr. Long said to a STATE JOURNAL re-
porter that he is now. devoting his entire
time to his duties as congressman in the
Seventh district
He said he was not making any
speeches but when asked what he told
his constituents who asked him how he
stands on the money question he said:
II tell them l am a bimetallist and that
I am for the use of gold and silver as
the money of this country. 1 am abso-
lutely opposed to the financial policy of
the government as dictated by Grover
Cleveland"

is Very improbable.
WAsHrNeToN, June 14-The prepon-
derance of opinion among public men
who have given attention to the pro-
gress of the German movement for an
International conference looking to
the rehabilitation of silver is that
the chances for such a congress
in the near future are slim.
There are a few who believe that such
a conference will be held this year, and
many express the opinion that it will be
postponed indefinitely.

GOV. OSBORN'S VIEWS
He Is in Sympathy With the
Silver Conference
To Be Held at Topeka on June
Eighteenth.
GOES EVEN FARTHER
Than Most of the Republican
BimetallistS,
We Should Make Silver the
Basic Metal.

Ex- Governor Thomas a. Osborn viii
not be at the coming bimetallic conven-
ton in Topeka. He says he will not be
in the city and so can not attend
81 am heartily in sympathy with the
convention" said he to a JOURNAL re-
porter today. "That is, l am in SYM
pathy with the convention if it is not
held for partisan purpose. There is
tendency to make this question partisan,
and that is all wrong. At least it is too
early to take any step of that kind"
The silver question is getting along
all right" continued the governor.
"What was most needed WAS education,
aud that is going on steadily every day
The tendency to make the silver ques-
ton political we see cropping out every
once in while. 1t was at the Memphis
convention. but it did not make much
headway, at least it did not control the
convention.
mo action has yet been taken by any
of the parties on the question and we do
not know what they will do and the
thing to do is to wait If the parties do
not take stand for silver l am then in
favor of an independent political move
ment The free coinage of silver is a
rather narrow issue upon which to run
a political party"
what other issue would you be in
favor of includiug?'
81 could not say now, but there is more
to the financial question than free coinage
of silver. / do not favor a cheap dollar,
but | do believe that our dollar is too
high now"
would you be in favor of changing
the catio?"
''As to that I do not know, but
what I want is an American sys-
tenn of finance, entirely free from
lieve that we should go to any
other country for our monetary
system. We should be able to get along
ourselves"
What would you suggest?''
"If had the making of our financial
system l would make silver the basic
metal and make all other money subsi-
diary to it l would do that because other
nations do not use silver. OF course we
would have to pay our foreign debts in
whatever the other nations required, just
the same as when they buy our wheat or
pork they must pay for it in whatever we
demand l want to see a system
for America and then England could not
come over here and deplete our treasury
whenever she chose and make US no end
of trouble.
81 do not say this because | am in favor
of having silver dollars thrown around
on the streets. We do not see the gold
dollar thrown around on the streets. l
believe in all necessary restrictions"
"Do you think the silver sentiment is
growingf"
II certainly do 1 believe that great
majority of the American people are in
favor of free silver and the work of edu-
cation is continuing. The action of the
political parties will be watched with
interest, and after they have acted it will
be the time to decide what shall be done
along the line of independent political
action. This agitation now ia good
thing and it should be kept up"

PUNISHMENT CAME QUICK.
A Negro Shoots p Man and Woman and is
Shot by the Mans Brother.

NATcHEz, Miss, June 14-At the
Natchez island plantation, a few
miles below this city, this morn
ing E. Dawson, shanty boat
fisherman and all-round tough
character, shot and killed Frank
Nacklin, manager of the plantation, and a
negro woman name not known, and Sc
verely wounded a Negro boy.
Dawson has gained much nOtOrietv on
account of his connection with a coal
black female denizen of "Under the
Hill" The negress left him and
went to work on the island plantation,
whereupon Dawson moved his boat to
the island and opened negro gambling
house and became such a nuisance that
Macklin ordered him away.
He refused to CO. and in the alterca-
tion that followed Dawson used a
Winchester and killed Macklin and the
woman almost instantly and wounded
a boy, then making his escape carrying
the rife. A tug brought the bodies to
Natchez and coroner's inquest is now
being held.
Macklin was highly connected in the
city and the feeling against Dawson
runs high. Officials are searching for
him and there are fears of further blood
shed when he is Overtaken.
A later report from the island states
VIM Cont, brother in-law of Macklin,
had come upon Dawson and before the
latter could use his gun shot him dead

Are bread and butter plates in use
yet, and are the little spreaders the
proper thing to use with them?" is a
query which reaches this department.
The reply to the first question is made
that they indubitably are, although it
will not be difficult to find some au-
thorities announcing that they are not.
These little plates have been found to
be a great convenience, and experience
shows that when such is the case
enough sensible persons are always
found who will continue the use of a
convenience to keep it in fashion. The
bone plates which preceded them were
not nice in suggestion and were speed
lily abandoned. A place for piece of
bread and a separate small knife with
which to put a bit of butter on it is, in
lieu of conplicating the service of a
meal, a distinct siuplifer; it is more
useful in the one-maid esta blishment,
even, than in the more elaborate ones,
for it assists in the matter of serving.
1t is a mistake to have these plates tco
large, but 1T is not mistake to have
them.-St. Louis Reps bile.

SILVER THE ONLY REMEDY.

A Belgian Says its Rehabilitation is the
Only Way to Prosperity.
BRUSSELS, June 14-M. Alphonso AL
lard, who was a delegate from Belgium
to the international monetary confer
ence in 1892, in an address to the con-
servative association, asserted that the
protective policy of Belgium is the re-
suit of the currency difficulty.
n. AIlard also said that the fall in the
prices of commodities is not due to over
production but to the scarcity of money
caused by the demonetization of silver
in 1878.
The only real remedy, continued NJ.
Allard, for the industrial and commercial
depression was to rehabilitate silver.
That the world was realizing this was
shown in the widespread bimetallic
movement.
