D. o. McCrav, who is credited with
knowing what he talks about when he
tells inside stories about Republican poll
itics in q recent dispatch to the st. Louis
Republic said:
During the last campaign Governor
Morrill, said the prohibition question had
been settled and was therefore not an
issue. The Republican state central COM
mittee went to the opponents Of prohibi-
ton and promised them as much lenien-
cy as was extended by Governor LewelI-
ing under Populist rule.
"Delegations of saloon keepers from
Kansas City, Wichita, Leavenworth and
Atchison came to Topeka and held con-

people wanted saloons. Saloon men,
brewers and policy men contributed to
the campaign under the pledge that
they were to be protected"

CULLOM FOR COMPROMISE.
Favors Moderate and Considerable Action
Regarding Silver.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Z. = Senator
Cullom, of Illinois. who came to the Pa
cific coast as a member of the senate
committee on commerce to look into the
merits of San Pedro and Santa Monica
as harbors, in an interview in this city
was asked: ''Do you think the estab-
Hshment of bi-metallism will restore
confidence and produce good times?"
"WhiIe l believe in bimetallism and
the parity of values of both god and
silver, giving to both metals equal
chances and equal privileges in the
money markets, am not SO sanguine as
to believe that the United States alone
can by simple decree produce the de-
sired result
eve ought to have an international
agreement which shall establish the
proper relations to metallic currency.
Then the obstruction to currency legis-
lation which now exists will become
mere cobweb5 The currency is worried
by the theories of charlatans who offer
unfailing remedies for every i'll, ignor-
ing the teachings of experience
ultra silver theorists and ultra gold
theorists are alike impatient of
each other, and alike opposed
to any middle ground, but there
is always safety in moderate and we'll
considered action. Much as we may
wish to give to silver its equal and proper
place as a money metal, we must look to
existing conditions, where they demand
it at our hands

WHAT do the voters who have been
whipped into line year after year for the
preservation of the party think of the
declarations of Governor William Me-
Kinley and Secretary Carlisle. McKin-
ley is reported recently to have said at
Ga, that if the Republican
party should tender him a nomination to
the presidency on a free silver platform
he would decline it and leave the party.
As he has never denied this report it is
fair to suppose that he said it Now
Secretary Carlisle says that if the Demo-
cratic national convention declares for
free silver at IS to 1, he doesn't see what
he can do but vote the Republican ticket.
Will the masses of the Republic an and
Democratic parties allow few profess
sional politicians like these to dictate the
principles of their parties and tell them
what they want? 1t looks very much
like an effort on the part of the tail to
wag the dog. Nobody should be dis
turbed by the threats of these gentlemen.
Their parties can get along without them
much better than they caA get along
without the parties In fact if it had not
been for the parties these would be
dictators never would have been heard
of. Let them go.

showing up the fallaeies of "Coin's FL

and furthermore their belief that no such
lectures were delivered. This evidence is
considered as conclusive in dispesing of

WHEN Kansas has just emerged from
the disgrace of Populism," it is unfor-
tunate that she seems about to be
plunged into another. If the charges
made against Governor Morrill, are true,
and they appear to be substantiated by
the records, his action can only be ex-
planned on one of two hypothesis, dis
honesty or stupidity. 1t is not easy to
determine which is the more charitable
view to take. Either must be humiliat-
Ing to every citizen of the state. Cover
nor Morrill, seems in fair way to have
an abundance of company in his feeling
of shame for Kansas

with the aid of sledge, drill and pow

a Church at Waterloo, Ia, Constructed
From Single Solid Rock.
If the full story of the huge stone
that recently lay partly imbedded in the
earth near Waterloo, Ia, could be told,
it would doubtless prove very fascinat-
ing reading and an invaluable contribu-
ton to scientific literature. Ages ago
the mammoth bowlder, weighing near
ly 5000 tons, was detached from some
mountain, perhaps thousands of miles
to the north of Waterloo, and fell upon
one of nature great stone boats, gla-
cier. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the
gigantic mass Of snow and ice moved
south with irresistible force, carrying
the 8, 900 ton monOlith with it as easily
as a boy would carry a pebble on his
sled AS the climate grew warmer and
the glacier wasted away beneath the
warm kiss Of the sun the monolith was
finally deposited upon the earth. Since
then seven feet of blue clay, six feet Of
sand and eight feet of rich, dark soil
have been deposited around it.
Not long ago the Presbyterians Of
Waterloo decided to build a church
Stone was scarce in the vicinity, and
covetous eyes were turned toward the
great bowlder that had slipped practi-
cally intact from the grinding arms of
the glacier and battled successfully with
the storms and upheavals of ages. Ma

A"-@>N'AO SIX OA-F Liza the new club rep
resent hundreds of millions of the mon
ey that the people of the United States
have furnished toward the development
of Mexico's resources. The club, despite
its brief term Of existence, is already a
power for good and is ranked with the
Mexican Jockey club. the Spanish, Ger
man, French and other alien clubs of
the city.
The club was the natural outcome of
the steady growth of American infu-
ence and American interests in Mex
leo, and in so days from the time the
project was decided upon, the founders
of the club, with true American enter
prise, had completed the organization
and housed it in one of the finest club
houses in the City of Mexico. The build
ing occupied was formerly the mansion
of General Pedro Rincon Gallardo, gov
ernor of the Federal district, and one of
the handsomest private residence build
ings in the city. 1t has a spacious orr
entail court and is entered by means of
broad stairways of Italian marble
Every room is light and airy, and there
are numerous shady hooks and tempting
balconies. There are billiard rooms, card
rooms, reading rooms, library, dining
rooms and rooms for ladies, and on the
roof is bowling alley Every Wednes-
day is ladies day, when the fair Ameri-
cans and many of their darker Mexican
sisters visit the clubhouse and are enter
tanned with true American hospitality
Gambling is not allowed in the club,
and one Of its most important bylaws is
that at least Z 3 per cent of the members
shall be American citizens.
The president Of the club is Ygnacio
Sepulveda, a well known attorney at
law and Mexican government claim So
icitor. He was for some time a promi-
nent citizen of California and is an ex-
judge Of the Golden States supreme
court. The late Minister Isaac Pussy
Gray was an honorary member of the
club.

bezzlement Yesterday Sharp walked
into the district attorneys office and sur

by one of his bondsmen, John F. Clark.
For over two years Clark and the other

Several years ago Joseph W. Spanier,

an estate valued at $4,000 The greater
part of the estate consisted of min
ing stock. Sharp was appointed ad-
ministrator. It is charged that
as soon as he got possession of the estate
he proceeded to convert the mining
stock into ready cash. He realized over
$15.O 600 and then suddenly left town, go
ing to southern California. Before he
could be arrested he fed He cut quite

Then he again disappeared.
In 1891 it was rumored that Sharp
was again in New York and Detective

Lively Competition for Contracts to Build
New Gun Boats.


New Gun Boats.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE six new
gun boats for which plans have recently
been approved by the secretary of the
navy will be known as numbers 10, II,
~, IS, IA and 10 until they are named by
the secretary.
1t is the intention of the construction
bureau in preparing the specifications to
have the new boats completed in the
least possible time and it is considered
that they ought to be ready to go into
commission within 10 months. The naval
bill provides that not more than two
shall be built at any one yard, and some
rivalry is likely among the firms secur-
ing the contracts to complete the boats
as quickly as possible.
Information received at the depart
ment indicates that there will be some
very spirited competition among the
different yards, as the firms capable of
doing the work have asked for complete
and early information as to the plans
and specifications.
