r. The anti-McKinlcy combine has heard
from the Indiana republicans and must
feel down in the mouth. 1t knocks the
last prop from under their scheme to de-
feat the nomination of Mckinley. Long
ago it was conceded that neither Reed,
Allison nor Morton could unite the 0ppn-
sirion forces. and Quay was entirely out
Of the question. When this conclusion
was reached by the "fayorije son" man
ayers, thcy turned to the only pussibil-
ity left them harrison. lie was not
Objectionable to amy of the aspirants
and with a fair vote in his favor on the
first ballot it was not unreasonable to
expect that considerable floating vote
could oa rallied to his support
on tho second, with the posi-
bility uf IA stampede that would
insure hls nomination. The plan was
a plausible one, and needed only the con
sent Of Harnson to put it into operation
The news from Indianapolis shows that
it has fallen through. Uncle Ben must
have taken d careful look at the McIin-
ley storm and kept in out Of the wei,
He wgs rot anxious 10 be drowned fate
that would have overtaken him had he
listened to the voice OF the tempters.
The Indiana platform tells the rest Of
the story. Harrison declined to take
any chances and the con 5ention indorsed
Mckinley in language that is nauaeating
The age of seeming miracles has not
passed, but with Harrison out Of the
way, it does not appear within the range
of possibilities to defeat the nomination
OF Mckinley.

In Kansas City the plumbers are on
strike. This would seem almost incred-
lblc were it not vouched for by the
Associated Press. What can the men
expect to gain by quitting work at this
season of the year when the bosses are
engaged in competitive work on build
lngs? Why didn't they wait until the
thermometer is below zero and busted
pipes are the order Of the day? When a
Journeyman's time is charged at the
rate OF dollar d minute and helper is
not satisfied unless he drinks wine with
his meals, a plumbers strike in May is
out of season.

TIE DUPONT CASE.

While the republican senators 10 not
appear to he anxious to reach ii vote on
the question Of seating Dupont, who
claims ii seat from the state of Della
ware, the democrats and popuIists arc
willing to settle it as soon as possible.
When Mr.. Dupont first presented his
questionable credentials it was thought
the case 5would be decided upon its legal
merits and not made Il political one,
Since that time the republican senators
have realized the necessity OF strength
culng their ranks by any means and
have, it appears, concluded to make an
effort to. seat him if possible, A count
has evidently been made and it has
the populists and demo-
Gratis are solid against the proposition,
This being the condition Of affairs, the
policy Of delay was inaugurated in the
hope that something favorable might
turn up. The democrats have now de-
termined to force an issue, and a time
has been fixed for the taking Of vote.
That the members Of the United States
senate OF any party could be guilty of
a party advantage Ut the eN-
pen=e Of their convictions Of right and
wrong seems Incredible, yet the surface
indications show this is what the rcpub-

Mr.. LamOreuX, commissioner Of the
general land office, announces that neXt
month he will make a visit Of inspection
to the local lard Offices in the west with
view OF improving the service, This
proposition will receive unanimous
second in the west and the official will
be made welcome, In connection with
the proposed journey the commissioner
makes another statement that is all
wrong and places him in the attitude of
seeking for notoriety as an economist of
the cheap order. He says that he will
on the journey pay his own expenses.
There is no sense nor reason in his doing
this. AS he is to travel on public bust
ness his expenses are legitimate tax
against the department and no one will
object to their being paid out of the pub
lie exchequer. The gentleman may be
actuated by the most laudable of mo-
tives, but when officers of the govern
ment become superlatively honest and
take care to advertise the fact the aver
age man views the action with suspicion
Had Mr.. Lamoreux made his contem-
plated trip, footed his own bills, and said
nothing about it he might have derived
some personal satisfaction from the fact.
If he imagines that his dong 80 and
boaeting about it will make him hero

Dr. George Henry Savage, senior physi-
clan at Bethlehem Hospital and lecturer
on women's diseases at Guyes Hospital,
who has Tor 80 years devoted himself to
| tho study OF cases OF women's diseH ses,

! mony, and DIR. Leonard GabieI, men,
ber of the Royal College of Surgeons,
gave simiIar evidence. lie said that I'M
prisonment to woman in the condition
of Mrs. Castle would have the most seri-
GUS effect. IL would not epdsnger ner
life, but II would certainly endanger her
sanity. DIR. Scott, the med cal officer OF
holloway Jail, gave evidence OF similar
tenor, which, perhaps. was the strongest
OF all on account OF his position. Dr.
Scott said he believed that any contin-
uance of the Imprisonment of Mrs. Castle
would be Injurious to her mertaI and
bodily health.

him. snc be took an appeal to the Grand
Looge, the officers Of which wanted to re-
fer the mst,er to arbitration. This MIR.
Wood refused TO do, ana brought tuit.
He was non-su!ted in the court below, on
the ground that he had not exhausted all
means OF redress In the order, and he
asks fer new trial, because the court be-
low erred In granting non-suit. The
grounds on wrich error Is chirged are
that there should have been special
plea to The jurisdiction of the court. that
the officers of the lodge had not complied
With the rules OF the order in dealing
with his case, and that he bad fully ex-
hausted his remedy in the ordeg before
bringing his suit.

MIR. Owen counsel for McKiernan,
asked esch of the officers il they knew
how many boarders McKiernan had, but
they all replied in the negative.
A restaurant keeper named 1iercey,
seemed to be troubled with marked
absence OF memory for he could not re-
collect what he testired to in the District
tbst worked for him m opey to go into
Mckiernans' place and buy beer. and.
it Is alleged. that in the lower court he
said he bimseif bought tine beer OF Mrs.

house one night but in answer to ques-
tion by Mir. Owen McKisrnan's counsel,
tho sergeant said he did not charge Mr..

When the States case was ell in, Mr..
Owen said the defendant would offer no
testimony, nor would there be any ar
gumcpt to the jury. Attorney General

This afternoon the Board are to work
on the ballots from the fret district OF

which held the whole city back on We'd
nesdsy, because of the record pres king
slownsss of the warden and clerk in maxi
ing the first count. When the big bum
die OF ballots was opened this forenoon
there was further evidence OF the stupid
ity OF the election officers In this dis
trjct. They had gone to work and care
fully fol1ed up each ballot, thus adding
considerable unnecessary trouble to the
recount.
The official announcement of the Sec
ond Ward is the most important to come,
because OF the arrow margin 10y which
Councilman Barden is elected. The
friends OF candidate Abraham A. Gray
are hoping that there will be enough dis
crepency between the war6ens and the
official count to land their man.
