1t is significant that in Washington we
hear little talk of this man or that for the
democratic presidential nomination, which
is to be made few months hence. En-
cepting some random talk for Col. Nor
who was first proposed in a dispatch print
ed in this column long before the Mon
roe doctrine matter became public prop
erty. no candidates appear TO be under
consideration. On the other hand, there
is a good deal of talk in Washington as
to the proper sort or a man to put OH
the ticket as a running mate with MIR.
Cleveland, and for this distinction there
annears 10 be some rivalry.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Nothing to Do With Africa.
From the Richmond Dispatch (Dem.).
It's a bad rule that doesn't work both
ways. If the Monroe doctrine is to make
us stand up for all American nations, it
should make us keep our hands off Africa
and all other foreign lands.

1t is announced that Miss Clara Barton
the head of the Red Cross Society.I has
secured pledges for a fund of $4,000 for
the relief of the Armenian sufferers, and
that she will start on her mission of
charity to the sultans domain within a
few days 1t may be doubted that she
will be able to do very great deal of
good with the fund. The sultan is not apt
to permit her to go into the interior
where the suffering is greatest. He cares
nothing for the Red Cross. He would
prefer to wipe out that sign, and all of
those who believe in it. If Miss Barton
were to go into the interior she would see
too many things which the sultan does
not wish to be seen except by his own
followers. Miss Barton will be lucky if
she prevents the bulk of her charity
fund from going into the pockets of the
sultan's minions.

thing for the city TO do with regard to
the putting of its electrical wires under

IngcrnoIrn Iden of n Chnrch

Not very long ago it was announced
that the Christian Endeavorers had de-
cided to pray for. the conversion of the
great agnostic, Col Bob Ingersoll. 1t is
to be presumed that they are continually
appealing to divine providence in his be-
half.
on Saturday night last he lecturcd at
Kalamazoo. Mich. Before going to the lee
ture hall he visited the Peoples church,
any denomination and which has no creed.
1t is an admirable institution in many re-
spects. it being a home for distressed and
suffering Christians as well as a church.
1t is for the poor and is supported by the
proceeds of a fund contributed by Kala-
mazoo philanthropist. Its religion is of the
most practical kind and it's success is
sufficiently great to attract good deal
of attention.
Ingersoll was much pleased with the
Peoples church. He declared it came near
err his idea of what a church should be
than anything else he had ever seen. In
the course of his lecture he spoke of his
visit TO 1t ana said; 1t is the grandest
thing in the state. if not in the United
States. If there was such a church as
that near my home 1 would certainly join
it, if permitted"
In Kalamazoo the impression is now
strong that the prayers of the Christian
Endeavor Organization are about to be
answered. The people of that town talk
as if they thought the time was near at
hand when Ingersoll would embrace Chris
tianity and become member of some
church. They may be right. 1t is to be
hoped they are. The prayers of a great
Christian organization like the Christian
E,ndeavor Society can accomplish much.
They will accomplish much if they make
a Christian believer of Col Bob Ingersoll.

The Quitman Free Press gives notice to
all prospective candidates that it has for
mulated a platform upon which all who
hope for its support must stand hatfoot-
eddy before it will say one word in their
favor. The chief planks of the platform
are that the proposed candidate shall be
a democrat, and white man, and that
he shall not be addicted to the use of in
toxicating liquors. Especial stress is laid
by our contemporary upon this last re-
quirement And il is one upon which all
voters of good judgment ought to be able
to agree. Drunkenness on the part of
public officials should not be tolerated.
The reform police officials of New York
are being severely criticised for making

comes to the spy business The idea of a
child in liquor saloon is revolving under
any circumstances, and that the child is
there by police direction does not make it
the less revolving. Not much can be ex-
pected of the future of child who is

Secretary Morton is scheduled to tell
the agricultural committees of the House
it was that he discontinued the seed dis
tributing arrangement, under the opera
tions of which SO many congressman were
enabled to pose before some of their con

tary is alleged to hold a joker up his
sleeve, to be used in case the committees

not be surprising if some sensational in

There was considerable opposition at
the meeting of the Committee of FIT
teen last night to the Diorama idea, but
after discussion it was decided that it
would do no harm to let Profs. Wor-
rail- and Stone go ahead and at least
see what it would cost to get it ready.
Prof. Stone has written a letter to
VIII Haskell. who is in Denver asking
him If he could be in Topeka during
September to assist in training the
different characters in the action of the
diorama. He had heard from Mr.. Has
ken and read his letter saying he could
be here.
Major Anderson-I suggest that Mr..
Stone write and ask~NIr. Haskell what
his charges viii be for the two weeks
before the opening of the festival.
Captain Titus-We will need Haskell
to help US get ready a good many
things in connection with the dragon
and parade. Let's ask about his terms
for the entire month of September.
c. P. Adams-He viii also be a vaIu-
able man in the matter of the carnival.
It was here that the opposing forces
to the diorama showed themselves.
Mayor Fellows-This diorama is go
ing to cost 9. good deal of money. We
got the money we have from the peO-
q
soldiers and the public. Now if we go
into this thing and it rains and we
lose money on it what are we going to
say to the people who gave US their
money to use?
Mr.. Doran-T don't believe we ought
to go into this diorama affair 1t is
simply a speculation and we can't spec
ulate on money the people have given
US. We ought to get down to business
on our original plans. We can't afford
to take hazards for in addition to the
odium of a failure we might have to
make up a loss ourselves.
Captain TituS-What Mr.. DOran says
is worthy of consideration so far as
the speculation is concerned. But I
understand that the diorana will not
cost more than $500 and since we are
show we can why not have the do
rama? Even if we don't make q cent
we are not out much and it is enter
tainment for the visitors.
Major Anderson-Let's go ahead and
see what it will cost anyway. I make
that as a motion that Profs. Worrau
and Stone figure it out and report at
the next meeting.
This was carried. Tt is not likely that
the Committee of Fifteen will take
further action with the -FPopocatapetl
show" An admission of 10 cents has
been proposed for it and the Committee
of Fifteen started out with the high
ideal that everything the peoples
money was subscribed for should be
Committee of Fifteen still holds to it's
high ideal, and if it continues to it will
come out of the festival with the glory
it will deserve.

MAKING THE DRAGON.
Work to be Commenced on it 1mmed-

The committee of fifteen ordered that
work begin on the big dragon last
night.
Mr. Greenwald-I think it is about
time we started the work on the big
parade and particularly on Don Quix-
ote's dragon. 1t was decided some
time ago by this committee that the
dragon should be and think Prof. Wor-
raj, who has had that thing in charge,
should begin to do something.
Major Anderson-As 1 understand it
this thing will cost a little money. /
move that $50 be appropriated for Mr..
Worran to build one section of the dra-
gon with.
Capt. Titus-I agree that something
should be done to start this dragon
along but hadn't we better wait until
Prof. Worrau makes US some report on
the matter.
Major Anderson-Prof. WOrrall was in
structed before to go ahead and make
one section OF the dragon to see what it
viii cost, but he has to have money to
do 1t with. If we are going to sit down
and hang onto this money we have and
never let loose of it we never viii have

Flower Parade

The committee of fifteen last night
issued officially q call on all people in
the city who own carriages and will
take part in the fall festival flow
er parade to meet with the ladies of the
flower committee
Mr. Rodgers explained the outcome of
the call he and Mr. DOran and Mr.
GreenwaId made on the ladies in the aft

m, for the purpose of organizing and

necessary to make the demonstration
a success. A committee of the ladies'
organization already formed and also
the amusement committee of the com
mittee of fifteen will meet with the
ladies and render all possible assis-
lance"
This was carried.
Mr. Greenwald-A prominent society
lady called on me today and said that
a large number of society ladies were
much interested in the fall festival
flower parade and were willing to help
in any way they could and suggested to
me that this call be made.

grounds for its day after all.
The committee appointed by the COM
rnittee of fifteen last night to confer
with the assembly reported last night.
It consisted of Capt. Titus, George
Lescher and A. K. Rodgers.
Capt Titus-At the solicitation of the
Trades Assembly 1 now ask the COM
rnittee of fifteen to appoint a commit
tee to see Mr.. Paramore of Garfield
park and see what are the best terms
he will make the committee. He has
said he would let them have the park
for Is per cent of the door receipts and
all privileges, which is almost the
earth. Let the committee ask for a
fair proposition and if they cannot get
it we will see if the assembly cannot
have the fair grounds.
