Won TAuSCH AND Won KOTZE
Indications That the Latters Troubles
Are Due to the Former.

Berlin, Dec 7.-Strong circumstsntial
and direct evidence has been placed in
the hands of the court indicating that
Major Won Tausch, the commissioner of
detective police; Baron Won Luetzow and
others engineered the whole Won Kotze
scandal
Count Won Kotze was the royal court
chamberlain, He waS arrested in June,
1884, charged with having been the agent
who had been disseminating anonymous
letters and postal cards making the most
indecent personal accusations against
members of the highest German aristoc-
racy. The police Investigations had been
going on for four years before Won Kotze
was arrested. His arrest did not put a
stop to the receipt of the offending let
ters, and, Won Kotze's innocence being
legally established, he was freed and re-
stored to his position at court. In ac-
cordance with mis- demand, he was tried
by military tribunal. which acquitted
him. Upon his acquittai Count Won Ko-
tie had on his hands large number of
affairs of honor with men who were i'm
piicated in the charges against him. He
has fought three duels, the last Of which
with Baron Won Schraeder, master OF
ceremonies OF the Prussian court, resulted
in the iatter's death and Won Kotze's con-
finement in fortress as punishment.

far west as Colorado. BY or through
the Improvement Of the Arkansas, traf-

The Arkansas river is among the
longest streams in the world. Its valley
is a thousand miles in length, as the

three states and two territories. 1t Is
the Nile of America in the character Of
its flow and its soil. Years ago the
Eagle believing that the rivers naviga-
ton being an impossibility, with no
probability of a railway being construct
ed along its valley from mouth to source
suggested a canal for its entire length.
For a canal the river would furnish an
abundance of water. At least from
central Kansas To- tide water on the
Mississippi there would be few locks
comparatively necessary. Such water
would forever settle the transportation
question for the states and territories
which the river trayerses.
However, we will watch the proceed

CLEVELAND ON CUBA.

The words of President Cleveland's
message, touching the Cuban question,
will be found to be no less radical and
assuring than were desired by the Amer
lean people; but they disclose the fact
that the present administration has, in
being very conservative. not been
wholly remiss or unmindful Of the cause
of the Cuban patriots. However, Cuba
does not wish home rule, but independ-
ence, and independence only will satisfy
either Cuba or her great neighbor.
In an interview recently printed in the
Paris Journal, Senior CanOvaS, prime
minister of Spain, among other state
ments of great interest, declared that
while he believed the Spanish people
were ready to sacrifice their blood and
to give their money TO whatever extent
might be necessary to retain Cuba, 1.-The
nation is free to change its opinion; and
if the day should come when it tired of
continuing the struggle, and should de-
sire to abdicate its dignity, would not
strive to prevent i'll would retire. )"
The significance of these remarks lies
in the fact that the possibility of such
change in Spanish opinion should have
been admitted by the prime minister of
Spain. The senior, perhaps. foresees that
Notwithstanding the magnificent re-
Spouse Of the people to the appeal Of the
government for popular subscription to
its S5O.0O0,O00 loan, they may not be
proof against a reaction Of feeling I'M
less some decisive victory shall soon
crown the Spanish arms in Cuba

THE GREAT QUESTIONS.

/ Whether the free, Independent and
| unlimited coinage of silver, is TO 1, is a
dead issue or not. there is one thing
| sure, and that is, bimetallism as live
question will soon be confronting the
people. The Republican party not only
stands for the largest possible use Of sill
| yer, as it has always stood, but it is
pledged to use its coming power to Sc
cure international bimetallism. The
Republican party has never been inim-
ical to silver. 1t has only held, strenu-
ously, for a parity Of the two metals,
silver and gold. Whether majority OF
the people at heart are for free silver or
not, unquestionally large majority are
for bimetallism, and for the consump-
ton or use of the entire silver product
CT the world as money. While Is to
was settled by the last election by near
" million majority of the American
people, the currency question of the
country was not settled. 1t is the ques-
ton of all others right at this present
moment. As it is feature of Cieve-
lands message of yesterday. so will IT
he of McKinley's on the 4th day of next
March.
The future basis of the currency for
this country is as pressing now as a
question as that Of national revenues.
In short, the satisfactory settlement OF
the one would logically take care Of the
other. Prosperity insures an abundant
revenue. but before prosperity must
come the confidence which satisfac-
tory currency can alone insure. There
car, in other words, be no return of
permanent prosperity until all doubts OF
the soundness and elasticity OF our cur
rency is assured. So only few days
subsequent to the election we find a
monetary conference being held at In
dianapolis. This conference did not con-
sist of silyerites or goldbugs, per Sc, but
of representative business men. There
must not only be soundness, as we have
now, but of elasticity which we have
not. The greenbaek, with its gold basis,
and the certificate, with its silver re-
demption. do not work satisfactorily,
either as to the revenues Of the govern
ment or the business interests Of the
country. This, among other things, the
indianapolis conference held to, and
this will be that which will confront the
new congress the first thing. These
questions will be taken up by another
and a much larger convention at Indi-
annapolis, called TO meet January 9th,
1885,, the results and conclusions of
which conference will be laid before the
next session of congress, if not before
the present one.
