ing the opinions of the presidents of the
leading New England colleges upon the
currency problem, has published a
letter from President Butler of Colby,
which reads as follows:
In answer to your note of Sept. u. |
will say that, as to the currency, | do
not suppose that any one can accurately
foresee what would be the results of the
adoption of any of the lines of policy
now before the people. In my own
Judgement, the thing greatly to be
desired is international bi-metalism.
Pending that | cannot see any course
which this country can pursue consist
emily with its honor, or even its finan.
cial prosperity, other than that of main
tanning the gold standard. The United
States cannot afford to make out its
financial policy Irrespective of that of
the other great powers OF the civilized
world.
Sincerely yours,
NATHANIEL BUTLER.

A matter which is the occasion of a
good deal of feeling all over the United
States is the request of the Pope that
the Right Rev. John j. Keane, rector of
the American Catholic University re-
resign his position as the head of that
institution. His removal is interpreted
to be a rebuke for his American ideas
on education, which are not in accord
with those of the Vatican But what
ever the real reason, it is greatly re-
GREETED by his American friends. A
mass meeting was held in Washington,
Thursday, in which some of the most
prominent political and educational men
of the country participated, among them
being DR.. Whitman of the Columbian
University. Condolences were also
received from the faculty of Leland
Stanford University and many other
institutions.

Gratis rendered considerable assistance in
the election of Major Mckinley, yet they
could not afford to take Office. "The Pop

We're in the movement Tor principle and

Believing that returning prosperity will

WHY CLICK HOLDS HIS JOB.
Because n Missourinn Is Booked for
the Place In Case u Change
In Made,

Topeka. Kas. Nov. '4.-(Special) United
States Pension Agent Click is holding onto
his Office simply by the grace Of the sound
money Democrats Of Kansas. The word
has not been given to have him discharged
or he would have gone. While the gold
Democrats have it in their power to cause
his removal on moments notice. they
are hesitating about taking such step.
Secretary Francis, of the interior depart
ment, viii be only too willing to issue the
decapitation order. He has a friend at
Warrensburg, No., whom he wants to ap-
poirt to the place, and it is for this very
reason that the Kansas men have not
caused Clicks removal before this. The
administration Democrats would like to
get rid of the present pension agent pro-
viding they could get another Kansas man
for the place. They know, however, that
in the event of Clicks removal that the
place would go to Missourian. and they
don't want to be placed in the attitude of
getting a KansanI removed to make room
fer Missourian. This Is tho reason
Click has not been disturbed.

LAST YEARS IMMIGRATION.
Arrivals Numbered 343,265, q De-

Average for n Decade.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE commissioner
general of immigration, In his annual re-
port. shows that during the last fiscal
year the arrivals of immigrants in this
country aggregated 81, ,2s7, of whom $40. 1853
were lanced ard 2.79s were debarred and
deported at the expense Of the various
steamship lines by which they came. OF
those d. ported, 776 were found to be under
contract 10 perform labor in the United
States. made prior to their arrival. and
2,023 were returned as belonging to other
prohibited classes. In addition to the num-
Der debarred, there were 23S who became
public charges within year after their ar
rival. and hence were returned to the
countries whence they came. The COM
missioner general states that he knows of
no immigrant landed in this country durN
ing the last year who is now burden
upon any public or privste institution.
With some exceptions, the report states,
the. physical characteristics of the years
Immigration were those of hardy, sound,
laboring class, accustomed. and apparently
able. to earn a livelihood wherever capable
and Industrious labor can secure employ
ment. The amount of money brought into
the country was at least Asll,3lS, and
probably was largely in eS|ss of these
figures.
The statistics at hand. the commissioner
general states. do not justify the con-
clusion that our alien population is grow
ing in undue proportions. A comparison
of the figures for the past year, 343267,
with the average annual immigration for
ten preceding fiscal years. 4s5.0s5. discloses
q decrease of 81, ,siS or over. ~ per cent"
The report shows that Of the total number
of immigrants, over II years of age. that
arrived during the year, S5,o66 could not
write and 1870 could neither read nor
write, which is 2S.63 per cent Of the whole
number. OF those who could neither read

other parts of Austria Hungary, lab from

THE SENATORIAL FIGHT.
for support and Wondering What
Breidenthal Will Do,

Topeka, Kas., Nov. 14.-(Special) Con-
siderable interest is being aroused now
among the Populists over the election Of
United States senator. 1t is certain that
Lewelling and Harris are going into the
fight for Peffers job. John Madden. who
was defeated for congress by Charles Cur
tbs, is also developing some strength.
George NJ. Munger is spending his time in
the short grass country, rounding up mem
bers of the legislature. and Senator Pef-
fer's managers are sending out feelers
among the boys while PETER is sitting IN
Washington depending on his whiskers to
pull him through. What other recon-
mendation is necessary" he argues. The
great undercurrent of Populist sentiment
seems to favor Breidenthal. and the other
candidates are much alarmed over the sit
uation. John Martin and Dave Overmyer
are each tenaciously clinging to hope
that the Populists will be generous and
give the best Office within their gift to
Democrat These men are not considered
on the political checkerboard by the Pop
ulist leaders, however. and certainly they
stand no show of getting to the king row.
