was born In Woodstock Maine, May 16,
1882. at an early age he went to At
lanta, Ga, where he made his home and
became very prominent in the advance
ment OF the interests Of the city. He
was connected with numerous enter
prises throughout the South. and was
identified with several railroads in
Georgia and Oregon. Mr.. Kimball was

the people. Whatever room existed for
different constructions of the platform
of 1892 should no longer exist, and for
this purpose that to be adopted in 1896
should be 30 plain that even school
boy could understand It.
1.-THE platform should declare for the
free coinage Of silver direct; and with q
set of principles responding to tho de-
mands Of the common people, we should
select some good man from the West,
some man with military record, iden-
titled with the dominant sentiment that
now controls the party, and go forth
with confidence to the victory which
the people always give those who are
brave enough to fight for 1t. The only
tear have ls, not that the people are
not In favor ofifree silver, but that the
free silver people, who are she majority,
may divide into factions. running two
or shree candidates, in which event the
election would be thrown into the
House, where the Republican would be
elected.
'Such contest as I have outlined
would cause many people to make new
party alignments. There are Democrats
strongly welded to the gold theory, aad
many Republicans just as strongly
welded to free silver. OF course, these
men would have to choose between their
OLD party and their convictions on this
issue. The Democrats Of the East want
gold; the Republicans of the West want
silver. The realignments will be as
interesting as they will be pulling, but
to the lottery OF politics the whole issue
must be committed.
'Of course there Is contingency in
which the people might not be called
upon to settle the question-that is, the
possible action of an international con-
ference. That would be the best and
easiest method of re- establishing silver,
AMI with less OF the element OF expert
ment in 1t. If such conference should
be called and it took action restoring
silver, so that the people would be salts.
fed, then we would have to find new
issues for 1896. In the meantime, how
ever the people of the United States
will be moving along TO that result In
their own constitutional way. The
people want the free coinage of silver.

have always been, and the Democratic
voters will declare for 1t next year"

EX-CONsUL WALLER.
His Counsel Determined to Push the Case
Against France.

CASe
Against France.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-Ex- Con.
gresham John M. Langston. the
attorney of ex Consul Waller, who is
imprisoned at st. Pierre by the French,
Is determined to push the case with all
the power he possesses. "Iu the first
place" said he, I'VE propose to main
tain the concessions obtained by Mr..
Waller in Madagascar.
1.-THE whole purpose of the prosecution
and persecution OF Waller by the French
government was to despoil him OF the
concessions he procured. The French
government realizes that the conces-
sions are Of immense value. Then we
intend to force the French government
to pay to Waller an indemnity COM
mensurate with the persecution he has
undergone.
HE was given mock trial, was
threatened and finally conveyed in irons
to France, where he now lies in prison
awaiting civil trial" Mr. Langston
asked would be determined after he had
communicated with Waller.
Mr. Langston Is entirely satisfied with
the course of the State Department.,
which, he said, had called for thor
ough investigation of and report on the
case by Minister Eustis at Paris aud
the consul at Tamatave, Madagascar.
AS soon as these are received, if they
are shown to bear out Mr.. Walters rep.
resentations, Mr.. Langston expects the
administration to take prompt action
looking to the release of the prisoner
and to demand from France proper
money indemnity.

THE Spaniards continue to report de-
feats OF the revolutionists in Cuba and
the total suppression Of the insurrection
there, but the average reader will fail
to understand why men who are so
badly cut up and scattered one day
should be able to bob up serenely on
the next with Increased numbers and
receive another terrible repulse at the
hands of their ever victorious foes. AS
the rebels have no way, except through
an occasional blockade runner, of pres
senting their side of the conflict to the
world at large, it ia best to defer judg-
ment on the Spanish reports until fur
Their returns. At any rate the rebels,
according to the Spaniards themselves,
manifest vitality and ubiquity really

Liability of the Government for Moneys
Received from This Source.
WARRINGTON, April 29.-Since the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in the in
come tax cases there have been frequent
references on the part of attorneys to
the liability of the government for sums
paid on incomes from rents and invested
personal property under former income
tax laws. 1t will be remembered that
Attorney General Olney in his brief on
the subject OF a rehearing suggested
that Congress could not we'll escape
making provision for the refunding of
these amounts IL the decision was to
stand. Associate Justice Whites dis
senting opinion, the text of which was
made public to-day. also touched upon
this point.
He said: under the income tax laws
which prevailed in the past for many
years, and which covered every cunceiv-
able source of income, rentals from real
estate and everything else, vast sums
we're collected from the people of the
United States. The decision here rem
dered announces that these sums were
wrongfully taken, and thereby, it seems
to me, creates claim in equity and
conscience against the government for
an enormous amount of money.
linus, from the change OF view by
this court 1t happens that an act OF
Congress passed, for the purpose OF
raising revenue, in strict conformity
with the practice. OF the government
from the earliest time and in accord
ance with the oft-repeated decisions OF
this court, furnishes the occasion for
creating claim against the govern
ment for hundreds of millions OF dollars.
/ saw CREATING q claim hecauaa if Tho
government be, in good conscience,
bound to refund that which has been
taken from the citizen in violation of
the constitution. although the technical
right may have disappeared by lapse OF
time, or because the decisions of this
court have misled the citizen, to his
grievous injury, the equity endures and
will present itself to the conscience OF
the government. This consequence
shows how necessary IL is that the court
should not overthrow its past decisions.

not fatally, burned. The explosion was

THE LAWS OF TEMPEsTs.
Influence OF the Earth's Motion on the

Influence or the Earth's Motion on tho
Direction OF Winds.
Suppose railroad train ct first sta
tionary, says the Chautauquan A
traveller fires shot toward some ex-
terror object; it will require, say, two
seconds for the ball TO reach the object.
Imagine next the train moving at the
rate of thirty feet second. Tho trav-
elcr aims ut the object the instant he is
opposite it; but the ball, in addition to
the impulsion which he has communi-
Gated to it, preserves the general move
mcnt of the train, which in two seconds
makes it travel laterally sixty feet. 1t
will strike then ct some distance be-
yond the object.
The rotation of the earth produces
an effect of the same kind upon move
ments which occur on it's surface All
the points of the globe turn together
from the west to the cost in twenty
four hours, but they all have in reality
different rates of velocity according to
the position which they occupy. At the
poles the velocity is nothing; it in
creases regularly to the equator, where
1t reaches the enormous rate of ], $50
feet second
Let us take for consideration two
places in our country HranceSParis
and Dunl1irk. While the Parisian, af-
fected by the movement of the earth,
passes through about 1000 feet, the in
habitant of DunlSirk travels only about
oG3 feet.
Let us imagine now at Paris wind
from the south that is blowing towards
Dunllirlz, which is almost directly north
from Paris. AS Paris moves from west
to east at the rate of thirty-seven feet a
second faster than docs Dunl1irlk, the
wind from the south at Paris will be
like the ball fired from the moving
train; it will be deviated towards the
cast, that is, towards its right. From
being q south wind, which it was at
Paris, it will become southwest wind
and it will reach Liege or Cologne in
stead of Dunlzirlx, which it would have
reached had the earth been motionlcss.
Thus all winds are turned from their
first direction, and in the northern
hemisphere this deviation is always to-
ward the right, while in the southern
hemisphere it is toward the left.

Dirercnce between Han and sloet

We arc apt to speak of hail and sleet
as being very similar phenomena, but,
in fact, they are widely different. True,
hailstoncs are composed of alternate
concentric layers of hard Opaque and
transparent ice. In the latitude of Mis-
souri, hail seldom falls except in sum-
mer. Sleet, on the contrary, always
falls in winter or late fall OF early
spring, and is composed of minute part
icles of transparent ice. 1t is caused
by rain falling from high, warm
cloud, which has stratum of cold air
lying directly beneath as rule, but
this cold air stratum may be Immediately
above the earth's surface In this
event it will be noticed that there is a
mixture of rain and ice particles which
fall and give everything on icy coating.

SPEAKER CRISP AND FREE SILVER.
The Atlanta Constitution Of Sunday last

Speaker Crisp, Of the National House of
Representatives, in which he declares
himself unequivocally in favor of the
free coinage of silver. The dis.

precates. however, the forcing of the
issue, thus early in the canvass, and
carefully refrains from saying that he
fsvors the coinage Of silver on the
basis Of 16 to /. Following are some OF
his remarks:
"The majority Of the American peo-
pie in both political parties are in favor
of the restoration of the free coinage OF
silver. They are a conservative PEG.
pie, respecting all rights and moving
slowly that they may not disturb them.
They may be repressed once in q while,
but once they take up question there
will be no cessation until it is brought
to q elimination. The American people
are today behind the free silver moves
ment and they will push 1t on TO sue
cess and have silver re.established to
its old equality with gold. When the
people take up question that party
succeeds which has the foresight and
wisdom to constitute itself the agency
through which their desires can be &C
oomplished.
This great financial question. which
has come to US side by side with the
tariff question, will be settled likewise
by the Democratic party. In the next
campaign the rehabilitation OF silver
will be the main and controlling issue
upon which Democracy will appeal to
the people. Party platforms should
always be plain and direct. / do not

Bible has no equal In the world" The
speaker closed his splendid lecture by
considering the efforts of Ing-rsoll and
other inidel speakers and writers to
relegate religion and its exponent, the
church, to women and children, to
maintain that thinking, able and pro-
found men have found it a shallow
pretense and superstition, and to exalt
unbrlleving men into position Of
recognized greatness. The speaker
showed that these efforts proved dis
NAL failures, and that the preponder-
ance Of evidence is on the side of
Christianity, and that the wisest and
best-the greatest proportion of the
greatest men Of the world have been
God believing and God fearing men !;
that the worlds great infidels, some of
them remarkable men, saying sharp
