Mckinley on the Financial Issue.

The Mugwump and Democratic
organs are having lots of fun trying
to get Mckinley to commit himself
on the money question. He is being
called such choice names as double
face" 'straddle bag" etc. All this
hullabaloO is ruse to entrap the
major; candidates subscribe to, not
make platforms.
In recent communication Gen.
Grosvenor said -
Zone of the unwritten rules of DO.
litical campaigns which has not been
violated by any candidate for the
presidency is that the candidate
shall not make platform. The vio-
lation of that rule cost Henry Clay
the presidency, and from that time
to this no man has violated it with
impunity. No mans friends have a
right to call upon him to foreshadow
the party's platform, much less
would any candidate be permitted,
under any circumstances whatever,
to answer the interrogatories of a
cabal of his enemies, a combination
formed within his own party-to
force from him a declaration as to
what the platform ought to be. A
man who would fall into the manipu-
lation of such conspiracy would be
totally unfit to be the president OF
the United States Major Mckinley
will respond to the platform, but he
will not dictate what the platform
shall be-"

FROM MISSOURI.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nav %.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, May %.
Dear Vermont Friends:--
The long anticipated trip to my
native State has begun, and while
waiting here to make connections
with the other delegates to the Ma
tional convention at Pittsburg, l will
send a word of greeting and good
cheer. Since making my home in
California since 1889 | have taken
great interest and been as actively
engaged in temperance work as my
business would permit. This year
was one of the 26 delegates elected
to the National convention, and
after this is over and | have CON-
pleted my business 10 Philadelphia,
shall make a short visit to the dear
old Green Mountain State.
Prohibition does not prohibit, is
the cry we hear from all sides, and
our opponents claim there is as much
liquor sold in Kansas as in Nebraska,
where it's sale is restricted by high Ii
uense. OF the truth of these slate
ments | am not prepared to say, as |
never lived in either State; but of
California | speak whereof | know.
There is not a State in the Union
that has SO many saloons in proper
ton to the Inhabitants as California,
nor a State where the temperance
people are more in earnest. The W.
c. T. U. have been foremost in the
work OF creating public sentiment
against the saloons and the selfsacri-
ficing prohibitionists go hand in hand
with them 10 opposing the liquor
traffic. The prohibition party have
always advocated woman's suf-
frage and been ignored by the
press until this year. Our State con-
ventions have been noticed by a few
lines only until our last, when the
great dailies seemed to vie with each
OF her in giving the best reports of
the proceedings, and while we have
made way slowly toward the high
standard, yet we have great hopes of
victory and will never give up the
battle so long as a saloon curses our
fair land.
| hope the friends will watch the
papers and get full reports of the
convention. The delegates are arriv-
ing and the big excursion will soon
be en- route, so | will say adieu for
this time. M. A. THOMPSON.

Now is the time of year when car

1t is a question whether the string
ing of electric lines in cities and VII
lagos will not destroy large portion
of the trees. Complaint is made in
several cities that where wires pass
through the foliage, the trees ia near
ly every instance have died, presum-
ably from the effects of the electric
current. 1t has been noticed also
that the death of he trees almost in-
variably follows a season of rain,
when the wet leaves are good con
ductors of electricity and carry it
from the wires to the trees. In some
cases the death of the trees has been
caused by wires supposed to be
thoroughly insulated, the covering
having been rubbed off the wires by
the friction of the branches when
moved by the wind. The evidence
that the trees have been killed by
electricity is furnished by the fact
that in numberless instances the trees
through which the wires pass died in
an hour during a storm, while those
standing "a few feet from the wires
we're uninjured. These results will
raise the question as to the liability
OF electric light companies for the
damages caused by the killing of
shade rees.-Scientfic American.
