ProsPects.

LONDON, March 18.-There was a
big meetiH, this afternoon of the
bimetallic league and it was
determined to continue active
communication with the bimetallists of
France, Germany, Austria and Belgium
in order to promote great campaign in
all the Industrial centres,
Secretary McNeill of the Bimetallic
league, in conversation with represen-
tative of the Associated Press, after
the meeting, said that the bimetal-
lists generally were satisfied with
the debate in the house of commons yes
terday evening, as by its vote the house
had unanimously declared that bimetal-
lism would be a great benefit to Great
Britain and that an International agree
ment WAS desirable.
The gold party he added, had not tried
to challenge either of these points and
had not ventured to move their amend
ment when the critical moment arrived

TO CALL OFF THE DOGS.
VIM. Reeder Wants the State Officers
to Keep Their Hands Off the Sixth
District.


VIM. Reeder, of Phillips county, is in
Topeka today and with him are ex-
State Senator Lockard and Sheriff G.. r.
Betterton, of Norton county.
Reeder is one of the two men who
thinks he can secure the Republican
nomination for congress in the Sixth
district He is not well known among
the politicians for he has never held
Office or been candidate.
Mr.. Reeder and A. Il. Ellis of Mitchell
county are the only candidates for con-
gresslonal honors in the Repu blican
camp and it has been reported that the
opposition to Ellis would not develop
any strength. Ellis has had the advan-
tage of the prestige afforded by his inti-
mate relations with the state officers
and they have done what they could to
help him.
The delegation which is in Topeka to-
day is here to plead with the state officers
to keep their hands off and the day has
been spent at the state house. Reeder
and his lieutenants have done their best
to convince the officials that Ellis is not
to have things his own way.
81 am in this fight to win, said Reeder
to JOURNAL reporter 81 feel sure tha
if 1 can have a fair show 1 can get the
nomination and l intend to do what can
to get it. It has been reported that Ell
lis already has enough delegates to NOM
mate him but we will see about that
when the time comes"
Sheriff Betterton said-"Reeder will
go into the convention with some strong
counties back of him and / believe we
can nominate him. We want the state
officers to keep their hands of in this
fight"
IS. II. Dodge of Beloit who is Ellis
lieutenant is also in Topeka and he
smiled when he saw Reeder 81 sup
pose he came here to get the nomina-
tion," he said.
The congressional convention is to be
held at Hill City May IL.

MORTON MAY WITHDRAW.

The Strong Mckinley Sentiment in West
New York Worrying Him.
ALBANY, n. Y, March 19.--Reports
were in circulation at the state capitol
today that there is a possibility that
Governor Morton may withdraw from the
contest for the presidential nomination.
He said positively last December that
he would not allow his name to be pre-
sented at the national convention unless
the delegation from this state was unani-
nous in supporting him.
Since the development of the strong
Mckinley sentiment in the western Sec
tion of the state, it has become apparent
that the delegation can not be kept solid
for Morton, although hr. Platt and his
lieutenants have been working hard to
obtain this result.

REED MEN WORRIED.

The "Littls Napoleon" Sentiment Crop
ping Out in Massachusetts.
WASHINGTON, March 18-The Reed
men are very much worried over the
news from Massachusetts that a break in
the solid New England delegation to St.
Louis is threatened. Rumors have
reached Washington of an apparent
revolt against Reed in tho Tenth
district of Massachusetts, where, it is
said, Mckinley delegates will probably
be elected. Requests for aid in keeping
the district in line have been sent to all
the M massachusetts, congressman except
Mr.. Atwood, who represents that district.
The congressman is understood to be at
the bottom of the Mckinley boom in his
district. The other members of the
Massachusetts deleg alton have decided
that they cannot interfere. The Atwood
district includes portion of Boston and
the towns of Quincy and Middletown.
Joe Manley has returned to WashlRgto
and conferred today with memb bers of
congress from Massachusetts.
The Reed men fear that the break in
the Tenth district of Massachusetts will
start the Mckinley boom on its way
through New England and that the oppo-
sition to Paed, which has been apparent
from the Ar3t will spread to Vermont and
New Hampshire.
The Rhode Island delegation is on the
verge of a revolt and unless it shall aP-
pear that Reed is gaining in other quar-
ters it is more than likely that he will be
deserted by a good many of the New
England delegates before the convention

The Army as q Career.

The object of an army in the United
States is not necessarily in the main to
conduct campaigns and fight battles nor
to take human life. AS the city police
must watch over the city and guard it
against all sorts of danger, being ready,
with its weapons of offense or defense,
to strike when other devices fail, so our
army watches against certain dangers
to the republic, giving nerve and
strength to the xecutive-helping to
restrain wild Indians, to capture mis-
taken hordes of tramps, or to quiet mob
violence aimed against the common
veal, or with naval help to hold back
public enemy, but really, of course,
like the effective city police, to strike at
command, when the commander in
chief, with the sovereign nation behind
him, has come to the last resort of hu-
man expedients for guarding the ma
TONS life or its honor. Major General

The Honeymoon.

In reference to the honeymoon, as to
other matters, peoples opinions differ
according to their temperaments and cir
cumstances. We shall quote two nearly
opposite opinions and ask our readers to
decide for themselves.
III the Memoir Of Daniel Macmil-
Ian" his opinion is thus stated: THAT
going out for the honeymoon is most
wise and useful invention. 1t enables
you to be SO constantly together, and to
obtain deeper knowledge Of each other,
and it also helps one to see and feel the
preciousness of such intimacy as nothing
else could. Intercourse in the presence
of others never leads below the surface,
and it is in the very depths of our being
that true calm, deep and true peace and
love lie. Nothing SO well prepares for
the serious duties Of after life. -
GAS to long homogeneous, says the
bishop of Rochester, "most sensible peo-
pie have come utterly to disbelieve in
them. They are forced homage to ut
terly false ideas. They are a waste Of
money at moment when every shilling
is wanted for more pressing objects.
They are loss of time, which soon comes
to be dreary and weary. Most of all,
they are a risk for love, which ought
not so soon TO be SO unpleasantly tested

A mustard Plaster.

A mustard plaster may be quickly
prepared in the following way: Mix
the mustard in a large cup as you would
for ordinary use, only let it be trihe
thicker; spread it on piece Of Tissue
paper, cover with another piece of It's
sue and apply to the skin, covering it
with piece of flannel. When the plas-
ter has been on as long as required. rub
little vaseline lightly over the skin
and cover with piece Of medicated
WOOL with silk handkerchief over it.
The length of time mustard plaster can
be on must be regulated by the order
of the doctor and in some instances by
the skin of the patient. In some cases it
will blister if ON more than ten min
utes, and we have known persons who
could bear one on for an hour without
Inconvenience.

Thinks Sunday Marriages Not Legal.

A couple who applied to the Rev. J.
J. Blackburn of Cincinnati ON Sunday
evening to marry them were refused on
the ground that he never performed a
marriage ceremony on Sunday. Mr..
Blackburn said he considered marriage
business transaction, and he could not
conscientiously solemnize the ceremony
on Sunday. He said no other legal trans
action could be made on Sunday and
stand the test of the courts, and every
marriage performed on Sunday must be
an illegal one. He said he had never
heard Of case being tested Oh this
point and does not know that the courts
would take his view Of the subject, but
he decided to be on the safe side and has
never and will never perform this cere-
mony on Sunday. -Baltimor American.

Nonfreezing Pipes.

1t may be worth while to note state
ment by Sir James Crichton Browne
which suggests method of avoiding the
difficulties experienced during the cold
of winter. Speaking at congress Of
plumbers, he pointed out that water
pipes would never burst if protected by
vacuum. Why, then, he asked, could
not plumbers invent vacuum pipe? A
space even an eighth of an inch Of high
vacuum would be sufficient. Inclose
the pipe to be protected in an outer tube,
exhaust the air from the intervening
space and Theoretically seal the inclosing
tube at the ends. Then no changes Of
temperature could affect the protected
pipe. London Globe.
