What the Congressman Saw, Heard

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Washington, June H.-Congressman Liv-
ingston of Georgia, author Of the resolu-
ton which passed the last congress, di-
recting the President to urge Great Brit
ain to arbitrate the British-Venezuela
question. returned to Washington from an
extended trip through Venezuela, where
he went to make personal inspection Of
the merits of the controversy. He went
as the guest of the Venezuelan govern
ment and was given an official reception
throughout his stay in the country. He
returns with a fund Of information which
promises to have bearing on the action
of the United States in extending the
Monroe doctrine to the British Venezuela
troubles
THE people of this country hardly APP
preciate the unbounded enthusiasm which
prevails in Venezuela toward the United
States. AS member of the cabinet said
TO me: The Americans are gods in this
country
THE first thing 1 heard on landing
from the steamer Lsguayra wass 'Hur-
rah for President Clevelandp
The government placed a special train
at my disposal to carry me TO Caracas,
where I met the Presidents aide and
many officials. To show the intense
Americanism of the people, will cite the
fact that one of the entertainments they
gave me was a base ball game-simply
because II was American. The govern
ment band was present, and played
Dixie and the crowd kept up a con-
slant shouting of Hurrah for Cleveland,
and hurrah for the Monroe doctrine
Even the small boys in the streets are
shouting for the Monroe doctrine and for
the United States. The government had
the action of our congress concerning the
British-Venezuelan question printed In
Spanish, and IL is distributed to all the
schools throughout Venezuela, so that
children may be taught the intimacy be-
tween the United States and Venezuela"

Some Facts About Stewards Secret
Society of SIIyerItes.

From the New York Herald.
Cincinnati, O.-The story that the
Silver knights of America" would meet
representatives of the national democracy
in Washington, ID. c., on Aug II, to adopt
a course for future work, will not be a
surprising piece of news to hundreds of
silverites in this vicinity. They have
known for several days that such con-
ference was contemplated.
1t was learned tonight that the silver
knights of America" organization has
been in existence since the adjournment
of congress. 1t is said the membership in
the rural districts of Kentucky is large.
but the order in Ohio is small, although
rapidly growing.
1t is asserted that Senator Stewart OF
Nevada and Gen. Warner of Ohio are
the directing spirits of the organization,
and that when Stewart was IN Kentucky
a few days ago his presence was more
for the purpose of instructing the
knights" than to assist Senator Black
burn.
The organization is made I'D mainly Of
populists and ultra silver adherents. Men
and women are admitted after having
subscribed to one Of the severest oaths
known to modern secret societies. They
swear to an undying and unhagging loyal
ty to free silver, and promise to always
oppose any man for political preference
who has even said anything against the
white metal.

Tbe Able Congressman From the

Waycross. Ca. July 3.-Hon. Henry G.
Turner, congressman from the Eleventh
district, accompanied his mother this far
this morning on her way to North Caro-
lima, where she will spend the summer
with relatives. Judge Turner, who has
been unwell since he came home from con-
gress, has been quietly resting at his hand
some home in Quitman, and he is now
stronger and healthier than he has been
this year. Judge Turner met with cor
dial reception here. He was visited by
many of his admirers, and he passed the
morning very pleasantly with his friends.
He is fast regaining health, and in a few
weeks he will be well again. Judge Turner
is regarded by the people of this district
as the ablest member of congress from
the south. He is the soundest democratic
statesman in Georgia, and he is admired
by all sound democrats and even by his
opponents for his ability and integrity
Judge Turner has sound convictions, and
he will stand by them whatever may be
the cost. He is not turned by every idle
wind that blows" like some of Georgia's
congressman. His popularity in his dis
trict is great, and the saying that "a
prophet is not without honor save in his
own country" cannot be applied to him.
He is honored everywhere that he is
known.
