lMr, e. p Ripley is today perhaps
the most prominent prominent railroad
man and traffic manager in the United
States. He commenced his career in
Boston. when a very young man, as
agent OF the White line. Afterwards
he was made agent of the Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy road in l3os-
ton. and in the latter part OF the 70's.
was appointed general freight agent Of
that road with headquarters in Chica-
go. This position he held for a number
Of years, and during the early SOS,
when the old Iowa Trunk Line. South
western Traffic Association. and the
celebrated tri-partite combine were in
the height Of their glory. he was the
central figure in the numerous traffic
meetings. He is man Of strong char
acter, high principle. indomitable WILL
and great executive ability Ten years
in advance of his time, even in those
days he predicted the difficulties and
complications which have since bnset
the railroads of the country because
Of their lack of foresight in meeting the
contingencies Of the future Foremost
in every effort to advance the interests
of the railroads and the people, he
was yet trammelled by the narrowness
of some Of his associates on other lines
and by the bigotry of state officials
These were the days when T. ]. Potter
was general manger of the 20" system
and the most brilliant man of his rank
in the country. After Mr.. Potter's
transfer to the Union Pacific and his
death short time later Mr.. Ripley
was successively made traffic manager
and then general manager Of the 90"
About four years ago the c., NJ, and St.
P, engaged him as their vice-president
in charge of traffic, and now he is
president of the Santa Fe. Alive to
every phase of the business situation
of the country, and its bearings upon
railroad traffic, and the investment of
capital, he has foreseen difficulties
which will arise should the United
States declare for free silver next
November. The warnings of such men
as Mr.. Ripley cannot be ignoredl

ALABAMA POP CONVENTION.

Montgomery, Ala, April 2S.-The Pop
ulst convention. which met here today,
was much larger representative body
than the most sanguine had expected.
They met at McDonald's opera house
about 800 strong went to work in an or
DERBY and business-like manner, organic
ed promptly and appointed all their COM
mittees, the principal one being the COM
mittee on certificates with representa-
tons as to fusion.
The Populists nominated for governor
by reclamation Congressman Albert G.
Goodwin, who addressed the convention
in terse and aggressive manner, stating
he would not submit to being counted out
and expected to be elected.
The Populists divided the balance of
the state ticket with the Mckinley
Republicans. They have not adopted n
platform as yet, nor selected an executive
committee nor delegation to their ma
tional convention.
Resolutions were adopted eulOgizing
United States Senators Allen and Chand-
Ter for their investigation resolutions
passed in the senate relative to Alabama
elections.
A resolution was unanimously adopted
congratulating J. \. Pharr and the
Louisiana Populists on their recent state
fight

WILL OCCUR BETWEEN GOLD
AND SILVER FACTIONS OF
MICHIGAN DEMOCRACY.
Pair Of REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS
Took Place in Alabama Yesterday-Split
Was Between Mckinley and Anti
Mckinley Factions - Alabama
Populist Convention.

Detroit, Mich, April 2S.-The keenest
interest has been developed in the fight
for supremacy in the state Democratic
convention tomorrow between silver, or
anti-administration and gold, or admin
istration forces. The state central COM
mittee will, tonight select temporary
chairman. Silver leaders claim ma
jority of four on the committee for their
candidate, Hon. Thomas e. Barkworth,
of Jackson. The opposition do not con-
cede this and hope to elect Alfred j.
Murphy of Detroit. Questions regarding
proxies are provoking much discussion.
A state law enacted last year prohibits
proxy unless the proxy be a resident of
the county in which the vacancy which
he is filling exists. If this be enforced it
is anticipated to be favorable to the ad-
ministration. Efforts on both sides to
hold mass meetings here tonight seems to
joint debate between leaders represent
ing both sides of the monetary question.
Chairman Elliott Stevenson called the
convention to order at p. m. for the
election of temporary chairman, and
w. j. Murphy was Immediately elected.
1t is thought Mr.. Barkworth may be
selected for the permanent chairman
In the convention tomorrow the silver
delegates will make their fight on the
platform. They have scorned all over
lures looking toward compromise and
will insist on declaration for free sill
yer coinage at 16 to 1.

600. So far, with nearly ten months of
the year gone, the customs receipts have
reached about $137,000,00O with a fair
prospect of increasing to $165,000,000 by
the close of the year. The estimate Of
the receipts from internal revenue
sources was $15S,000,000. Up to this
time they have reached $780, 900 and
it is expected that the figures for the. COM
pleted year will be about $146,000000.
The receipts from miscellaneous
sources are expected to slightly exceed
the estimates of $15,000,0O0, making the
total receipts for the year about So. OOO.-
600. The secretary's estimate of the
years expenditures was $500 600. 900.
which, according to his figures. would
leave deficiency of $17000,00O.
The actual expenditures, however, it is
now thought will aggregate about 1852.
100000 or $10,000,000 less than Mr..
Carlisle estimated in December last. so
that the deficit at the close of the year.
1t is believed, will not show any very ma
terial change from Saturdays figures
S25, 162, 423. This makes the total deficit
for the financial year ending June 30.

ILLINOIS AND M'KINLEY.

Springfield, Ills, April 2S.-As the
time for calling the Illinois state Re
publican convention to order approaches
the prospects are for a less bitter fight
than was anticipated. The Cook county
machines and the Mckinley hackers had
truce conference this evening and an
agreement was reached. But it is high
ly probable that there will be lively
contest between the two factions before
the close of the convention, in spite of
this truce. Should Il fight be precipi
tated on The resolutions, the truce or
agreement of today may hc declared off
and the whole program changed. Moth
ing is certain for there are shrewd poll
ticiais CT both sides, and each side will
do everything in its power to carry its
point Some of the delegates who have
been instructed by their counties to sup
port Mckinley, say that when the in
stpctions were given it was the under
standing that there was not to be an IL
linois candidate. Now that Cullom has
come out as an avowed candidate, they
believe it is their duty to do all in their
power for him. But there are many more
instructed for Mckinley who will fight
for him 20 the end.

NERVOUS DEBILITY.
Chronic Catarrh Cause-A Malady Pc
culiar to the United States
and Canada.

Debility of the nervous system from in
temperate habits of anykind or expos
ure to cold is quite likely to cause condi-
tlon OF the nervous membranes of the
nose and throat so nearly resembling
catarrh that they are practically identi-
cal. Also chronic diseases which depress
the system will produce the same result
notably female weakness. They cause a
tleshy, pale condition of the mucous sur
faces, with a sticky, stringy mucous Sc
erection, which produces much hawking
or coughing, generally called catarrh;
but the whole trouble is caused by ner-
vous depression, pure and simple.
=, Besides the usual symptoms of catarrh.
the patient has brown specks before the
eyes, slight dizziness, roaring in the ears,
attacks of nervous headache, palpitation
OF the heart, flashes of heat, followed by
slight chilly sensations, faintness, depres-
sion, dependency, foolish fears, and
many other similar symptoms. In such
cases local treatment can do nothing but
harm-the only hope of cure being the
internal use of Pe-ru-na according to the
directions on the bottle.
