LIKE FORT RILEY.
General Merritt Rec ommends Drill
Halls Such as For Riley and
LeaveuWorth

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The report of
Major General Merritt, commander OF
the department of the Missouri head
quarters at Chicago, says that the year
has been singularly free from military
operations and the frontiers have en-
joyed peace and quiet. In the mean
time the troops have been engaged in
perfecting themselves in drill tactics
and in all these particulars during the
last year they have made important
progress
Gen. Merritt adds: 'sI earnestly rec
ommend that at each post where caval-
~ is likely to be stationed riding hall be
constructed on the general plan of those
a FITS Riley and LeaVenworth. They
are not expensive, and the benefits
which result from their use in winter
and at other times to men and officers
morally. physically and professionally
is SO great that cost of construction
should not be considered.
In this connection I especially call
attention to the necessity for drill halls
at all permanent infantry posts At
many posts during the winter season,
notably FITS. Brady and Wayne, N1ichi-
gan, the winters are long and inclement
and outdoor drills are impossible At
such posts drill halls are imperative ne
cessities and they should be built at
once, being for the good of the service.

BIG MINERS, STRIKE.
All the Miners in Colorado to Go Out
on a Sympathy Strike.

Leadviine, Col, Nov 2O.-The most
important move yet made by the strik-
ing miners is today announced on what
is considered reliable authority. The
statement that the governor has decid-
ed TO take summary measures to sup
press further violence here and to
bring the strike to an end, has it is
said, caused the officers of the union,
with the backing of the western feder-
alton of miners to decide to play
trump card, which they think, will
force the mine managers to come to
their terms under pressure from the
managers of mines in other districts of
the state.
The union has sent emissaries to all
other unions in the state to urge them
to inaugurate at once a sympathetic
strike thus tying up all the mines in
the state Cripple Greek and Telluride
are to take the initiative and the other
UniOus viii follow rapidly.
In this connection it is stated upon
authority that the mine manag gers of
Montana have decided upon making
reduction in wages of so cents a day
very soon and this is expected to pre-
cipitate a strike by the largest miners
union in the country The Montana
unions have been contributing literally
in aid of the Leadville strikers but with
strike imminent in their camp. it is
believed they will hereafter need to keep
all their money at home.

FOR OLIVER CROMWELL.
Pardon That Frees a Man With g
Famous Name

Governor Morrill, this afternoon
signed the pardon of Oliver Cromwell
not of English revolutionary fame but
of Kingman county Cromwell was
found guilty of criminal assault upon
his daughter by the district court of
Kingman county on December 49, 1894
and sentenced to five years in the peni-
tentiary
In asking for the signature of. the
governor to the pardon, the state board
Of pardons stated that the prisoner en-
tered the plea of guilty because of the
condition of public feeling in Kingman
county after he was charged with the
crime and did 50 under advice of his
attorneys, who believed that a defense
was impossible. The daughter has
since married a man named Collins,
who was objected to by Cromwell, and
a child which was born is said to 50
greatly resemble Collins that public
opinion has changed. The conclusion
Of the board is that the charge was
trumped up by the daughter to get her
father out of the way

der it implied permission for the states
to make any gold and silver coins legal
tender He was seriously considering the
matter $ a measure for Colorado, ana
his friends who We're present at the time
agreed with him. I took the ground that
the section applied to money issued by
congress only and did not include foreign
coins. I still think
The constitution prohibits the states
from coming money and take that to
mean that the states are not permitted to
import coins and make them a legal ten
der I wonder where the story started

few days ago four or five of We're

BY ELIMINATION. .
Populist County Central Committee to
Have the Power of Recommend
ing Office Seekers

The Poplists have hit on a plan to
reduce the labor of the newly elected
state officers in the matter of making
appointments. Ever since it was sure
which party had carried the state all
the state officers elect have been literal
ly besieged with applications for the
positions to which they could make ap-
pointments themselves and for recon-
mendations to the other offices over
which other people had the appOintive
power. To guard against an unequal
distribution of the patronage a confer
ence of the officers has been planned to
be held on Monday next the same day
that the official canvass of the state
vote takes place in Topeka All the
newly elected state officers and con
gressmen Will come to Topeka along
with other prominent members of the
party and at that time 1t is expected
that some plan viii be agreed upon
whereby the patronage VIII be distribu-
ted equitably over the state This
however, viii not do away with the
number of candidates Every part of
the state is already represented by can
didates for different positions. In or
der to reduce the number of candidates
word has been sent to the county cen
tral committees Of the various counties
asking them to meet tomorrow Satur-
day the 21st and recommend such per
sons as are residents of the counties
and are fit men for places. This it is
thought viii reduce the number of ap-
plicantS and render the lot of the new
officers more endurable 1t will sseIin-
mate" a great number of applicants
who will thus not be able to reach the
ear of the higher state officials
The state officers will agree as to
what recognition viii be given to the
Democrats and free silver Republicans
in the matter of appointments.
1T is probable that the Democrats viii
be given one railroad commissioner and
the superintendent of Insurance That
the silver Republicans will get one rail
road commissioner and some Of the
cIerkships The applicants for position
among the Democrats and silver Re
pubhcans will depend on the recon-

Judge Foster held that the mortgage
was not entitled to judgments over be-

One Of the Wild4s- schemes that has aD-
peared in print is the plan referred TO
written several books to educate the peo-
pie on the proper manner of running the
universe. AIr Kings latest plan. it is
said, is to have the coming legislature
pass a law making Mexican silver dol
lars a legal tender in the state of Kan
sas. The argument is that the constitu-
tion of the United States says: Article I,
section 10. No state shall make anything
but gold and silver coin tender in pay
ment of debts. etc. That as congress has
in the history of the country established
the precedent of making foreign coins a
legal tender for the payment of debts
that this state can do the same thing.
