Found a Lost Heir In Prison.

From the cincinnati
Columbus. O., Jan. pa burglar serving
two years in the penitentiary here has fall
en- heir to $4,000, which now awaits him
on the outside. The lucky convict is Moses
McKeown of Belmont county. He was I'M
aware Of the legacy until to-day, although
IL was bequeathed to him week ago.
McKeown's grandfather, resident of
Belmont county, died last week, leaving
a large estate He was DESTROYS of finding
his grandson, but the latter's whereabouts
were unkonwn to him. He provided in the
will that the estate should go to his grand
son when his whereabouts should be as
certained.
The grandson. who is the convict, has
been a wanderer for years. His checkered
career would make many chapters, but he
has managed to keep his relatives in igno-
rance of his misdeeds. To-day, while the
convict was toiling with the striped army
of lawbreakers. he was called upon by a
citizen of Belmont county, who happened
to pass a cell labelled ''McKeown," and in
stftuted inquiries. The fortunate convict
was almost overpowered by the news of
the bequest from his grandfather. He de-
clares that when released at the expira-
ton Of his sentence, he will bury the past
and become an honorable citizen.

"COIN" HARVEY'S PLAN.

w. H. Harvey, the distinguished advo
cate of free coinage, wants the silver
forces to unite upon Presidential ticket
and agree upon a distribution of the Cab
met positions. He says the Democrats
alone cannot elect the President, even
upon free silver platform, and that the
only way to success lis by a combination
of all the silver forces. His ticket would
be Bland for President, and Marion But
Ter, of North Carolina, for Vice Presi-
dent. He would let Bland, if elected,
have the appointment of Secretary of
State, and Butler, if elected to Vice
President, dictate the appointment --of
Secretary of Interior, Secretary of Agri-
culture. Secretary of War and Secretary
of the. Navy He would concede to the
tions, that is he would have Senator Tel
Ter appointed Secretary of the Treasury,
Judge Caldwell, of the United States cir
cult court, attorney general, and Mayor
Pingree, of Detroit, postmaster-general
He claims that his plan of dividing the
Cabinet offices would insure eight States
for the combination as follows: Pingree
uldsscarry Michigan, Teller half dozen
Western States, and Caldwell Iowa and
the Southwest.
The trouble about this plan is that it
will not probably meet with the approval
of Democrats. They would undeniably
furnish the bulk of the vote for President
and Vice President, and it is unreasona-
BILE to suppose that they would be salts
fled with only one Cabinet position. The
plan of securing for Senator Teller the
endorsement of the Democratic national
convention for President seems more rea-
sonable and much more likely to succeed
at the polls. 1t is true that with Bland
as President most of the offices would
fall to the Democrats, but the civil SER
vice rules are so sweeping that little mar
gin is left for further appointments. Be-
sides, an understanding could be reached
with Mr.. Teller on the question which
would be just as satisfactory, for what
ever he would promise his supporters to
do could be relied on implicitly in the
event of his election. Mr.. Harvey has
done much toward educating voters of this
country on the currency question, but he
does not appear to be much of politi-
clan, or he would not iask so much Of the
Democrats for the other parties in his
proposed combination

On the eve of the Chicago convention
the question as to who will be nominated
for President is as much in doubt rs it
was week ago. Bland, of Missouri, is
in the lead unquestionably, with Boies,
OF Missouri, as a close second, so it is
said. The antagonism between these
two leaders is so great the probabilities
are that none of the strength of either
will go to the other, should one of
them be dropped Then again the gold
men promise to be a disturbing factor in
the matter of nominating a candidate for
President. 1t being conceded that plat
form declaring for the free and independ-
ent coinage of silver Mt IA ratio of Is to
will be adopted without a doubt. the gold
men of the Eastern States were at,first
disposed to walk out of the convention
when this should come to pass; but act
ing on the advice of Mr.. Whitney, they
have decided to remain to participate in
nominating candidate for President.
and holding nearly one-third of the votes
of the convention they will be able, by Il
combination with one of the less pro-
nounced silver candidates. to defeat any
man holding extreme views on the ques-
ton, which means the shutting out of
Bland and Boies, and the possible nomina-
ton of Mclean, of Ohio, who is the pref
erence of Mr.. Whitney, accompanied
with the man from Missouri or the man
from Iowa. AT all events, the crisis is
near at hand

present conditions that impeaches'experi-
ence and indicates that Democrats can
safely change their present high financial
standard for the free, unlimited and in
dependent coinage of silver, this should
be made plainly apparent before such a
radical departure finds a place in the
party creed
take in dealing with the financial ques-
ton now pressed upon -. Democrats,
should, he says, make them. constantly
thoughtful and solicitous. He is there
fore confident that the voice of the Tam
many Society, 'always potent in party
councils" will not fail to be heard in
warning and protest at a time when
''the fluctuations of the people appropri-
ate to Independence Day are mingled
with approximations" Time was when
the President did not put as much faith
in the good intentions of Tammany as
he does now. Then that great Demo-
cratic organization was not in accord
with his own views Now, however,
Tammany stands on the same financial
platform that Mr. Cleveland does, and
with the persistence and determination
characteristic of him, the President would
use its influence and every other means
to promote the cause of "sound money"
which he has so much at heart. But Mr.
Cleveland's power with Democrats has
departed never to return, and all that he
may say or do will not change the result
at all. Had he respected the wishes of
the party that elected him to the highest
Office in the gift of the people..instead of
ignoring the advice of its leading men,
he would not now be standing alone with
the sympathy of none except those he
appointed to office, and whose course is
influenced largely by the remembrance
of past favors and hopes of future bene-
fits The old Democratic ship is about
to swing from the landing, and with new
officers i'll command and with a new
course to pursue, will soon start on a

AN EXPIRING VAIL.

President Cleveland has written another
letter on the financial question, this time
to the Tammany Society on the occasion
OF its Fourth of July celebration He
says the high and firm grounds which the
hold should not be abandoned in the pur-
suit of policy never attempted without
national injury and whose bright promise
of individual prosperity has never been
fulfilled; that if there is anything in

NOT IN WASHINGTON.

The proposition to build the Southern
Battle Abbey at Washington is meeting
with so much opposition from ex-Confed-
crate soldiers that this part of the plan
will have to be abandoned. 1t is hoped,
however, that this will not mean the
failure of the whole scheme, but that
when Mr.. Rouss the generous originator
of this grand idea, learns the views of the
Southern soldiers as to the location, he
will renew his offer of 5000 600 towards
the erection Of the abbey, and leave the
site to be determined upon after the
South shall have raised like amount.
The plan of erecting such a memorial of
Confederate valor and heroism is too inn
portant and far reaching in it's design to be
given up now that the enthusiastic inter

est of the Confederate veterans, their sons
and daughters and all other friends and
admirers of the Lost Cause has been
aroused in the undertaking. Washington
Is beautiful city and the people of the
South as well as those of other sections
are proud of the nations capital and its
historical associations, but they can never
LOOK upon 1t as the proper place for mem
oriai OF the sacred relics of the heroic
past. Richmond is by large odds, it
seems to us, the most appropriate place
for such building, but this of course is
matter to be determined by those who
have contributed most of the funds for
Its erection At any rate, there is abund-
ant room for the structure south of the
Potomac, and somewhere south of that
river it should be built.
