CHESTER LONGS IDEA.
Thinks Mckinley Would be a Plat
form in Himself


From Our Special Correspondent.
Washington, June 1.-Republican
congressman from western states are
reluctant to talk about the probable
platform of the st. Louis convention.
The prospect of a single gold stand
ard money plank makes them anxious
to say as little as possible before the
convention what it viii do.
When the Journal correspondent
asked Congressman Long what he
thought the convention would 40, he
said: Il don't know. I can't tell any
thing about it,"
What do you think it ought to do2"
Nominate Mckinley"
''Then you would have ticket like
this: For president. William McKin-
ley Platform, protection and dense
siIence?"
No, if Mckinley is nominated he win
be a platform in himself. I have no
fear that after the convention has met,
nominated Mckinley and adopted
platform the issues viii not be clearly
defined. And they viii be such that
every Republican can give them his
hearty support. There win be no mis-
taking the issue when the convention
shall have done its work
Mr. Long preferred not to specify
what he believed the money plank
would be, even though clearly defined
as he said

The Treasurer Instructed to Pay No

Pratt June 1.-The city council Of
the city Of Pratt has instructed the city
treasurer not to pay any more interest
coupons Of the city's bonded indebted
ness.
This city carries a bonded debt of
$4,000 and the present mayor and coun-
ell have come to the conclusion that
they might just as we'll turn the real
estate over to the bondholders. All
kinds Of property have suffered a great
decrease jpn value during the past few
years and investments in real estate
are bringing but little if any returns
The city administration therefore
concludes that it is next to impossible
for the owners of real estate here to
ever pay the bonded Indebtedness and
at the present time it is impossible for
many of them even to pay the interest.
