SENATOR WHITE WRITES
To Correct an Error In the Report Of
Recent Speech

To Correct an Error in the Report Of Q
Recent Speech
The following letter has been received
from Senator White. 1t is self explana-
tory:
WASHINGTON. May 16. 1895.
Telfair Creighton, Esq. The Herald, Los
Angeles. Cal.
My Dear Sir: In the first column Of the
first page of The Herald of Sunday, May
10th. In the Geographic report Of my
speech am made to say: There seems
to be an idea that these boards were in
some way prejudiced. There is evidence
justifying such a conclusion" The err
ror consists in making me say: There
is evidence justifying." etc. What 1 did
say was: There is no evidence justi-
flying" etc. Please make this correction.
as do not wish anyone for moment to
entertain the erroneous notion that
consider that the Board of Engineers
were prejudiced. On the contrary no
more impartial and honorable gentle
men can be found in the service of the
people anywhere. Sincerely yours.
STEPHEN NJ. WHITE.

| of life and why in the name Of the
commonest kind Of sense should they
favor adopting q monetary standard
that would diminish by half the returns
| for their labor by cutting in two the
purchasing power Of the money they re-
ceive in payment of wages?
The wage Garner is more interested
than any other person in the stability of
the country's monetary standard. And it
does not need a great deal of discussion
to make him realize this fact. 1t is as
the Fort Worth. Texas. MailTelegram
says:
Attempt as they will to hide the fact
from the working men of the country, the
free silverites can not make them believe
that the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver would not be disastrous to them
1t Is matter of record that labor Is
cheaper in free silver countries than
anywhere else, and the sane conditions
would exist in our assidst If a free coinage
system should be adopted by our gov
eminent. And this is matter that the
workingmen are doing some thinking
about for themselves. Last Sunday there
was a meeting of the central trade and
labor assembly of Louisville, KY,
state that is claimed to be for free sill
yer. During the meeting communtca-
ton was read asking the assembly to
indorse the free coinage idea, and to the
credit of the workingmen in the assem-
bly,, the proposition was unanimously
rejected. Not man in the meeting had
a word to say in favor of free silver. The
reasons why workingmen should favor
a sound and stable currency are so plain
and convincing that they are having
their natural effect. The effect of de-
preciated money upon wages was set
forth by Mr.. Carlisle in his recent speech
TO the workingmen of Chicago in way
that must convince any reasoning man
that when the currency is debased the
wage Garner receives less compensation
than he does when money is sound.

by which 1t will be possible to increase
the manufacture of the product.
One of the wholesale houses, through
its representative, says that the cheese
submitted to them Is of better quality
than any which they have ever handled,
outside of the New York product, and
they firmly believe that with age It
would equal that. The cheese which
was first distributed in this city was
not branded and had been given only
half the necessary time for aging, so
that II was hardly fair specimen Of
the production. Notwithstanding this,
the local demand is already far in ex-
cess of the supply. When the creamery
is working it's product into cheese 1t
can make with the present milk supply
about 500 pounds per day. 1t can make
a25 pounds of butter per day. when
working on butter alone. While the
cheese is a far better paying article OF
manufacture, 1t is an imposSibility for
the creamery to make cheese entirely
as 1t ia compelled to furnish skim milk
to the farmers for stockraising purposes
under agreement. The remarkable in
crease In the creamery business Is given
a good illustration by the list Of patrons.
When the creamery opened the very

uO1 in the Constitution

The movement in the Methodist con-
terence against inserting a Christian
creed in the constitution of the United
States is both wise and just and the
objection formulated in the confer
ence, to the effect that such an amend
ment would be an encroachment upon
the political rights of Unitarians, Jews,
and Deists, affords gratifying evidence
of healthy Christian growth. But the
proposition to substitute phrase
which verbally recognizes the existence
of Almighty God, is doubtful expedi-
ent.
Though such recognition would not
be open to reasonable objection, it
could serve 10 useful end. Evidence
the deity contributes nothing toward
hearty obedience to his commander ents.
Lip worship is so much easier than
worship in spirit and in truth that,
peoples, like persons, are apt. when
they begin with it to stop with it.
1t is by giving expression in the con-
stitution to Gods great command Of
love to one another, that we recognize
him in a way which contributes most
to our happiness and to his satisfac-
ton. We did this when by an amend
ment, we blotted out chattel slavery.
But other sins against justice prevail
among US and are written in our laws /;
until they also are blotted out by con-
sttutional amendments. an amend
ment which gives to the deity mere
verbal recognition would be the pray
er of the Pharisee.-Cleveland Re-
corder.

son rather has the advantage or the
others. for his state stood up to MIN IN
fine style. If Allison is as popular IN
Iowa as he is in Washington, II is no
wonder that the Mckinleyites We're uE-
able TO break in his territory. Every one
in Washington loves odd Billy Allison,
as his intimates sometimes call him be-
hind his back. and every one would like
TO see him president. But for the pecul-
lar manner in which the masses of the
Republican party have demanded Nc
Kinley this year Allison might have
seen his ambition gratified during the
coming ten months. He had the best
position of all the field candidates. a 5
every one comedies. He had a more
promising chance than Reed or Morton
or any of the other minor candidates.
This was true largely because of his
popularity in Washington. No one was
against him. and if the field had ever
been able to combine on candidate
Allison would probably have been the
man.
Allison has long been a presidential
aspirant in mild sort of way. and eX-
perience has taught him wisdom. When
the lows Republicans first organized for
the business of pressing the senator )
name for president, some of them sug
gested that there was no use of elect
ing him to congress. There We're others
who aspired to that seat. and they
thought this good opportunity to ar
range things their own way. ALLISON
is sure to be nominated for president"
they said. and the best way for us to
show all the country our faith in him
is to elect some one else senator in his
place. Then every one will know that
we mean to make him president" When
this little scheme was reported to Mr..
Allison he smiled softly and replied:
1T is very kind of my good friends to
show their confidence in my future in
this way. but you tell them that would
rather have one actual election than
all the promises of the presidency that
can be made to me in advance Of the
meeting of the national convention"
The result was that Mr.. Allison secured
his reelection and Is now congratulate
ing himself that he did not fall into the
nice little trap that had been set for
him.
Unless he should some day be called
to the presidency. It is not improba BILE
that Mr.. Allison will finish his days in
the senate. His chances for beatin al
records as to length of service In that
body are very good. Already he has
been in the upper branch twenty three
years. has just been elected for another
six year term and is good for another
term after that.

has been the experience of every nation

monetary system. The first effect of orr

The st. Louis convention will not
dare to follow the lead of the California
Republican state convention, and de-
clare for protection and free silver. but

MORE BANKERS III TROUBLE.
n. B. Tomblin and P, !. Lancaster the --latest
Victims Of the Banking Lav.
The Complaint Charges Them vita Re-
osiving Deposits After the Bank
Was IRsolvent.

The county commissioners yesterday
entered complaint against NJ. B. Tomb
lin, president Of the Sherman County
bank, and P. I, Lancaster, yios-presid-
ent Of the same Institution, charging
them with having received deposits
when the bank was insolEent
They were arrested by Deputy Shsr-
if Clark, and at the preliminary hear
ing waived examination and were
bound over to the district SQUIRT.
Mr.. Tombiin stated to a reporter
that tho institution Of which he was
president was the victim Of crop fail
ures and the enormous shFinksge OF
values. That the bank had loaned
money on property in 1892 when every
one was rated as more than good for
their debts, in addition to the security
given. That the succeeding two years
Of crop failures and depression he'd
forced down values and all but bank
rupted many of their debtors, and that
these loans had to be renewed to save
them. Many of these loans viii be
paid should a crop be raised this year.
The assessment Of the securities.
Mr.. Tomblin thinks, is a poor indlea-
ton of their true value. The assessors
put them dom at forced sale prices
which would probably be correct IL an
other failure was experienced.
He said that the Goodland CONNER
cisl company elevator, which cost
81 600 to build, was listed at lA80, aud
some other securities at about the
same proportion, while still Others, be.
hind which we're men who wsrs always
considered good, we're rated as worth.
less.
He thinks that in the event Of a crop
the obligations of the bank to deposit
ors can be met in full if its affairs are
carefully handled.
He further said that there was R9
transaction behind which was dis.
honesty, and that every loan made was
in good faith, and that the banks
trouble was because other people could
net meet their obligations to them.
The reasons given above are no doubt
correct in a large measure for the fail
Ure Of the Sherman County bank, and
also those of the six other institu
tons who have metdisssteF in this OF ~,
Il is rumored that this is only the be-
ginning Of a series Of actions against
the officials of both the Sherman Coun-
ty and Exchange banks, which, if true,
will make the July term of the district
court the most important ever held.

KANSAS WHEAT PROSPECT.

The Present Outlook for an Enormous
Yield Very Bright.
AToHIsON, Kan, May 4.-The Atchi-
son Globe prints a report Of Kansas
crop conditions and gives this para
graph about wheat: The condition of
the Kansas wheat crop to-day surpasses
anything in the record. Not word
Of complaint has been heard from q
spot In Kansas. The government re-
port last heard from puts the condi-
ton at about s6 per cent of a full crop,
but 1t is now considerably over 100 per
cent. There never was a first of May
when wheat showed as fair a promise
as it does today wherever the seed has
been put in the ground. Owing to the
favorable season the area was no doubt
considerably increased after the re-
ports we're in last winter, and it may
now approximate 100000 acres. On
this acreage, if the crop reaches the
average of 1889, . bushels per acre, we
will harvest this summer 100000
bushels of wheat, exceeding the great
est crop ever produced either in or out
of Kansas. In 1892 Kansas produced
100000 bushels Of wheat, the largest
crop ever made by any state.
