NEW ENTERPRISE.
A Steam Launch to be Put on Pleas
ant Lake by one of our Enter
prising Citizens.

ant Lake by one of four Enter
priSing Citizens.
Mr. Frank Polhamius, manager
OF the Ice Works here, has taken a
step in the right direction.
He has his order in With a boat
builder to construct him a steam
craft twenty feet long by six wide,
capable of seating ten passengers
comfortably and having the power
to pull two other boats coupled onto
it with a like number of passengers,
for the Pleasant Lake trade on ex-
cursiOn DAYS or for the use of fish
ing parties who visit the lake at
any time, A regular engine will be
in commission to sail or rather
steam the boat over the bosom of
this beautiful piece of water. Mr..
PoIhamius says he hopes to inter-
est the railroad management to
keep the excursion trains on during
the summer months on Sundays
and also get some one to erect a
summer restaurant and keep sum-
mer beverages to drink.
We have often contended that a
steam or naptha launch should be
put in Pleasant lake, as it would be
a great accommodation to our peo-
pie who 60 to the lake and who
wish to ride on the water.
When Frank gets his boat here
he has promised to let us help
christen it and we will do it with a
bottle of Mr.. Polhamius best brand
of extra dry.
The boat will be finished in three
weeks is what we have been told.

in Kentucky says
"The primary conventions to
selec t delegates to the state Demo-
cratic convention resulted in a
signal victory for the free siverites,
who carried nine out of the eleven
congressional districts, and whose
delegate vote will be about two to
one. The silverites won after a
square fight, the returns indicating
that they are in the majOrity-at
least such majority as turns out

sound money Democrats could have
done if they had fought everywhere
as zealously as the silverites is a
matter of no Importance now; what
the silverites did is told in the re-
turns"

NEWS NOTES.
Currew Rings Once More.

The "curfew ordinance" introduced
about Is months ago in Minnesota town,
has been quite generally adopted by small
er towns and municipalities west of the
Mississippi, and some of the larger cities
are considering it. Omaha has adopted ii.
1t is intended to regulate the habits and
morals of young personals years of age
being the limit in some cases, down to Is
in others-by keeping them off the streets
at night, the hour being determined by the
community-rarely later than 8, or earlier
than 1880. The signal is rung by the
fire or church bell. Any youth found on
the street after "curfew," unattended by a
lawful guardian, is conducted home by the
police, and for a second offence is liable to
fine or imprisonment. Provision is gener-
ally made for extension of time by the au-
thorities in case of excursions or enter
tainments; and in some cases the restric-
tion applies only to the business section of
a city. 1t has been demonstrated that
the ordinance is effective in controlling or
breaking up the hoodlum element in a
town, and aids parents in keeping unruly
children under home supervision. The
idea is making its way east.

SchIRtter Again.

Francis Schatter, the "Divine healer" :"
appeared in Cincinnati last Monday, wear
ing crown of thorns, and drove through
the streets in carriage with two compan-
ions. His talk to a reporter leaves no
doubt as to his mental condition: ~ can
cure either disease or injuries from acci-
dents just by laying on my hands and Gods
power. In Denver | have cured 1000 in
one day. This garb | am now wearing
always wear, and if any one afflicted should
come in contact with it, even without my
knowledge, he would become WELL"
According to a despatch printed this
morning the healer was brought before the
mayor and health officers yesterday for ex-
animation. These officials told him that
he not only made himself a nuisance by
blocking the streets, but that he menaced
the health of the community by passing his
hands over the faces of hundreds of peo-
pie, many of whom who were diseased. He
was ordered to leave the city at once, and
promised to go.

scholarly and can be written with deeper ideas
than II an audiences attention had to be borne

A New Hampshire straddIe.

The action of the New Hampshire Re-
publicans, who met in state convention at
Concord Tuesday, was the opposite of the
clean, outspoken declaration of the Massa-
chusetts Republicans. While New Hamp-
shire is reputed to be Reed state, and the
delegates elected are understood to be Reed
men, the platform adopted puts the Re-
publicans on the fence by declaring that
"We recognize as the most conspicuous
among such candidates New England's S
noble and illustrious son, Thomas b. Reed
of Maine, and that pure and able states
man and champion of protection, William
Mckinley of Ohio. We will give the cleo
toral vote of New Hampshire to any nomi-
nee who worthily represents the party, but
we prefer one of these, because either is in
himself a platform"
The currency plank is equally straddle,
declaring for
The enactment of currency laws that
will provide circulation medium in gold,
silver and paper, which will always be in
terchangeable at its face value because
each and every dollar of it is of the same
purchasing power as gold dollar.
Senator Chandler, who presided at the
convention, was greatly chagrined at this
result, and has written long letter of ex-
PLANTATION in which he says, in substance,
that the straddle was device of McKin-
ley men who resented his plain talk about
the use of money by the Mckinley man
ayers, and who let him know just before
the session of the convention began that
he would have to accept the platform as
dra wn or go into fight.

e. ]. Phelps on the Monroe Doctrine.

Z. j. Phelps on the Monroe Doctrine.
Edward j. Phelps of Vermont, ex-min-
ist er to England, gave an address last Mon
day evening before the law department of
the Brooklyn, N. Y, Academy of Arts
and Sciences. His sLOJect was the Mon
roe, doctrine, and the address was practi-
cally an arraignment of the course pur-
sued by the government in the Venezuelan
affair and denunciation of Congress for
its attitude on the Cuban question. The
Monroe doctrine, he said, as it is interpret
ed in these later times, has been brought
strikingly before the country in the last
few months. 1t has brought this country
very near the verge of war with Great
Britain, and is bringing us, for aught he
knew, to a war with Spain. 1t has caused
paralysis of business and loss incalcu-
liable. Mr.. Phelps held in substance that
we have nothing to do with the Venezue-
Ian controversy, and that it is NO concern
of ours whether the line which the trouble
is all about runs a few miles one way or
the other.

Charles Sumner on tn. Cuban Question.

Charles Sumner on the Cuban Question.
In his speech before the Massachusetts,
Republican state convention last Friday
Senator Lodge read few lines which he
prophesied would be branded in some
newspapers as the sentiments of lingo.
"But will not deceive you," he continued.
"They are the utterance of Charles Sum-
ner." These were the words quoted: "For
myself | cannot doubt that in the interest
of both parties, Cuba and Spain, and in
the interests of humanity also, the contest
should be closed. This is my judgment on
the facts, so far as known to me. Cuba
must be saved from the bloody delirium, or
little will be left for the final conqueror.
Nor can the enlightened mind fail to see
that the Spanish power on this island is an
anachronsm. The day of European colonies
has passed, at least in this hemisphere,
where the rights of man were first pro-
claimed and self-government first organ
ized."
Mr.. Sumner spoke these words before a
Republican convention in 1860 when the
Cuban rebellion, which began in 1868, had
been in progress only year.

MIR. ManIey,s Prediction.

In summary of the situation regarding
the outlook for st. Louis delegates, printed
last Saturday, Joseph II. Manley of Maine
said:
The situation is precisely as II was 20 years
ago. You will remember that three months be
fore the convention mt at Cincinnati we were
confident OF Mr.. Blaine's nomination. He stood
then as the apostle of protection, but he had op.
posed 10 his nomination Senator Conkling Of New
York, Senator Morton Of Indiana, Secretary Bris-
tow Of Kentucky, Gov. Hayes Of Ohio aud Gov.
Hartranft of Pennsylvania. We felt sn sure Of
Mr.. Blaine's nomination that We regarded II as
settled, and yet he was defeated In the conven.
ton, and the Maine man went down before the
Ohio governor.
History will repeat itself at st. Louis Gov.
Mckinley is and Will he the leading candidate in
the convention but he will have opposed to him
as candidates Gov. Morton of New York. Senat or
Allison of Iowa, Senator Cullom of Illinois, Sena-
tor Quay OF Pennsylvania and Mr.. Reed of Maine
You will find that the tables will be turned and
that the Ohio governor Will 20 down before the
man from Maine"

The Massachusetts Republicans gave
Thomas b. Reed enthusiastic endorsement
at their state convention held in Boston
last Friday. Henry Cabot Lodge heads
the delegation. While the delegates are
not formally instructed as to their action
at st. Louis, the closing resolution of the
platform says 1--WE urge all our delegates
to give their earnest, united and active
support to fearless leader tried in many
hard conflicts, a man Of national reputa-
tion, of unblemshed character, unswerv-
ing republicansm and great abilities, the
Hon. Thomas b. Reed of Maine.r The
platform is notable for its strong express
sion on the currency question. The reso-
luton on this subject declares unequivo-

promise must be rigidly kept, and every
obligation redeemable in coin must be paid

No Money to Rebuild the 81. AIbRns
Government Building.

Representative Powers tried unsuccess-
fully Monday to induce the House to ap-
prorriate $4,000 for the repair of the fed
eral building at St. Adams, which was par
TALLY destroyed by the big fire. Mr.. Pow
er's plea was not for a specific appropria-
tion for this purpose, but to have $4,000
of the sum carried in the bill for general
repairs set apart for this purpose. Mr..
Cannon met this plea by reading from the
report of the supervising architect of gov
ernment buildings the statement that the
act of Jan. 26, 1891, limits the cost of the
site and building at st. Albans, including
fireproof vaults, heating and ventilating
apparatus, elevators and approaches, to
100000, every cent of which has been ap-
propriated. The chair sustained Mr.. Can
mons point of order, from which Judge
Powers took an appeal. The question was
then put to the House and the vote sus-
tanned the speakers ruling.
