TALKING FOR AN OPENING.
Caldwell Opens His Mouth and Wink.
the Other Eye.

Topeka, August 26.-Judge Henry Cald-
well, of the United States circuit court,
is here today to enter decree tomorrow
for the sale of the Santa Fe Road. He
was loath to talk of anything concern
ing him personally.
Il suppose you have been mvltioned
for the presidential nomination." asked
the reporter.
Yes, L have heard something of it.
1t is a matter about which 1 do not care
to talk. 1t is a question of individual
preference with millions of voters. So
FAR as 1 am concerned the mention OF
my name is out Of the question. 1 do not
regard it seriously, and think no one else
does"
THE people in the West understand
that you are for free silver"
Yes, sir; that is correct" answered
the judge. II am for free silver without
reserve or any reference TO any inter-
national agreement 1t is plain to me
that there can be no international agree
ment favorable to silver, because England
VIII not agree to accept free silver. What
is the use of paying any attention to
foreign countries anyway? Are we not
capable of managing our own affairsr
think we are, and if not, 1 am in favor
of anneXing the United States to Canada
or some other convenient country"

''Come Down Unto Ne, and farrF Not

A letter, accompanied by a pathetic
appeal tor aid, has been received Ly
the Mayor OF Greenvilla from the
Secretary OF the Citizens Relief Com
mittee Of Ewing, Holt county, Nebras-
ks. The printed appeal represents
that the afflicted citizens of Ewing
have been carried by the charitable
through three seasons of crop failures,
and are now, OWING 10 the unexpected
destruction Of crops and gardens by
recent freezes, IN deplorable eondi-
isn. those who have been supplying
their needs being no longer able to
bear the burden. The seed sppropri-
alton made by the State has been ex-
pended. Many have received no seed,
and their condition, having now be-
come desperate, compels them to ask
the outside world for aid. Planting
time Is swiftly passing. Those who
had little seed have had their small
crops cut of by the late freeze, while
others bad no seed to plapt.
II 10 asserted positively that dire
suffering must shortly result. The
people are without the barest necessa.
ries Of life, and the prospect for the
future 10 absolutely hopeless. The
appeal asks mainly for seed, but states
tha. the need for provisions is press
lug. This call for help is accompanied
by letter addressed 10 the Mayor.
stating that on the 9th aud 10th of

crop the people had, leaving them in
helpless condition. with no chance
to provide against the coming winter.
Such picture as this from the agreat
Northwest" the land of phenomenal
development and unexampled pros
periiy, Is scarcely believable. It is
indeed credit aud an honor that the
South should be looked to as a land
OF Egypt, full Of corn aad wine, by
the very section Of country whose ap-
parent prosperity we have regarded
with something like feeling of envy
In the past, but which now sues to us
for cid In Its desolate condition. 1t is
but little that town like Greenvllle
can do in relieving distress so wide-
spread as that which Is affecting the
Northwest, but the generosity of the

to urge the despairing people Of Ne.
