The state republican. (Jefferson City, Mo.) 1871-1896, 1895-06-13

heufy WAutefsou SAID Jno Eeporb
that he had been offered the port
folio Of state was absurd.
The Ohio democratic executive
committee has issued circular
''rossting'' Senator Brice.
Susan B. Anthony will resign the
presidency of the National Suffrage
Association at the next convention.
8. M. Strong, Of Cleveland, o.,
broke bottle Of cologne over his
clothing, lighted q match and the
cologne blazed, burning him SO badly
that he died.
Senator Sherman was asked to-
night what significance he attached
to the democratic silver convention
In Illinois. "I think" he replied,
"that the democratic party will be
hopelessly divided on the silver
question. 1t may be that in Illinois
the Atgeld following will commit the
State to free silver, but the demo.
Gratis in the east will never consent
to it. I think the democratic party
will split hopelessly on that rock.
With our party 1t is different. I
think that even the republicans in the
northern states will be for the coin
age Of silver in limited amounts, and
when needed. The recent discov-
cries Of gold and q diversity OF
interests in that section of the coun-
try tend toward more moderate
feeling on the part Of western people
on the silver question"
The pension case Of Judge Charles
d. Long Of Michigan, which has
been before the courts In one form
or another for some time, was finally
determined by the court OF appeals,
the commissioner Of pensions COM
ing out victorious, though the proba-
bilities are that the case will now
be taken to the supreme court OF the
United States. About a year ago
Commissioner of Pensions Lochren
caused the pension Of Judge Long to
be reduced from S75 to $50 per
month. subsequently tho case came
before Judge Bradley Of the district
supreme court and he decided that
the commissioner OF pensions had no
authority to reduce the pension.
The court of appeals reversed that
decision, holding that a pension is
not a vested right except in a very
limited sense, as shown by the act Of
December 81, 1898, that the courts
can not interfere in matters OF this
kind and that the commissioner had
a perfect right to review the acts of
his predecessors.
The Importance Of athletics at
Yale was never more strikingly dis
played than at the Senior Society
elections. Twenty years ago cleo
tions to Skull and Bones, and Scroll
and Keys, generally included the
men who had distinguished them
selves for scholarship and as writer's
and speakers. In some instances 1t
happened that the valedictorian,
salutatorian, all the editors OF the
Lit, and all the Townsend Prize
speakers went to Bones. The choice
Of Keys would be the men who were
leaders in the Junior Promenade,
and were distinguished in the social
life of the college. This year the
chairman of the Lit. did not get an
election, and the recognized scholars,
the prize speakers and writer's,
received almost no recognition at all.
On the other hand Beard, Gross,
Treadway and Smith, from the
crews; Thorue, captain Of the foot
ball eleven; Trudeau, change pitcher
on the baseball nine, and Brown, the
shot-putter, all 60 to Bones, and
Foot, the tennis player and president
of the football association; Dewitt,
also football player; Miller, the
neat years manager of the baseball
.team, and Sheldon, the broad jumper,
were chosen by Keys. AL the great
baseball pitchers, from Avery to
Carter, have belonged to Bones, and
the big athletes generally 60 that
way.
At the Kentucky republican state
convention State Chairman Yerkes
presented the name of Col. W. o.
Bradley for the nomination for gov
ernor. The nomination was made
by reclamation, with continued DEM
onstrstions, until Col. Bradley was
escorted to the platform. After
thanking the convention and accept
Ing tho nomination for governor.
Col. Bradley reviewed recent
changes in Kentucky, especially the
result Of the election last November,
and on the financial FLANK, said:
''The platform of to-day is but
repetition OF the platforms Of the
past. II demands protection for
every American interest, protec-
ton for the producer, protection for
the manufacturer, protection for the
laboring man and protection for the
currency. 1t denounces the heresy
