William c. Whitney, who counter
manded his passage to England and
stayed at home in order that he might
induce this convention to declare for
gold standard. That welldressed,
rosy-cheeked man, with the black
mustache, the straight nose and the
gold eyeglasses is he. Every one
knows him. He was one OF the big
men of the convention of 1884. which
nominated Cleveland the first time. He
was Cleveland's secretary of the navy
and he could have had the presidency
once or twice by the raising of his
hand. He could get 1t now by work
ing for 1t. but he don't want it, and he
would not accept it on free silver
platform. Mr.. Whitney is man of
convictions. He does not believe in
free trade, and he has always been for
sound money. He was disguised with
Cleveland when he came out for free
trade, and he told him that his free
trade message would lose him the
presidency in 1888, as 1t did L was a
correspondent for the New York World
when Cleveland delivered that mes
sage, and 1 called that night at Sec
rotary Whitney's house to get his
opinion. He hemmed and hawed and
walked up and down the room, and at
last begged me not to interview him,
as he could not say anything on the
subject which would help the admin
istration. Secretary Whitney was at
this time the most popular man in
Washington. His brilliant wife was
then living, and she and Mr.. Whitney
were the leading social figures Of the
Cleveland administration. 1t was Mrs.

your list, and his sharp, cold, blue eyes
look out from under heavy brows. He
is dressed In business clothes, and he
stoops a little as he walks. His stoop,
however, is not that of humility, but
rather that of the fighter who has a
chip on his shoulder and is ready for
a spring. That man Is Senator Cal.
Brice. He still lives in New York, but
he has a mighty power in the state of
Ohio. During the years of his senator
ship he has had select list of every
prominent Democratic editor lawyer
and politician of the state, and has
sent them week after week seeds and
government documents, accompanied
by letters stamped with a good imita-
ton of his autographs signature.
Brice Is for hard money. At any rate,
he is not for free silver. He has a big
pile of gold laid up, and he wants his

for money, and to accomplish his ends
: he makes it flow like water. His life
at Washington has annually cost him

than 1900, and his wife is, perhaps,
one of the most lavish entertainers of

The New EIkton High School and
Some other Matters.

The treasurer of the county, Mr.. Jno
Banks, advertises proposals for bids for
the bonds $4,000 for building the new
high school at Elkton. The conditions
are S per cent interest, the bonds to be
issued in series of $500 each. The first
bond to be paid in four years after the
first of June. The time required to ex-
tinguish this debt to be saddled on the
county June 1st, will be twenty three
years. and the interest on the same will
aggregate $6,25 Sixteen thousand, two
hundred and fifty dollars is by this tran
saction saddled on the county for the sole
purpose of gratifying the local pride Of
Elkton. This high school, will be of
no more use to the people of the county,
as the MIDLAND JOURNAL has before said,
than fifth wheel to a coach, in view of
the fact that Mr.. Tome has provided and
endowed far better educational institu-
ton, free to every child in the county,
and without dollar tax on the property
of the county. The new "high SCHOOL,
will be but an anatomical high school at
best, as compared with the Tome Insti-
tute, besides crowding on and curtailing
the school fund of the county, which has
already more drains on it than it can
bear. The scheme when placed under
the X-rays of common business sense is
one of the most infamous or most bung-
ling pieces of stupidity ever worked on
the county And this is one of the reforms
by the reform legislature for the county
in the interest of Elkton. The race horse,
pool selling and general black-leg enter
prise is another Elkton bunco scheme on
the county. Mr.. Wellington, the U. S.
Senator whom the reform legislature
elected to represent the agricultural State
of Maryland, has just been elected pres
ident of one of the largest corporations of
the State. In place of representing the
State he will go into the Senate as the
retained attorney, with fat salary, OF the
corporation. The people are nowhere in
this republican reform movement, and
have been made chumps Of. The repub-
lican party crowd that has got hold of the
State is not one whit better than the much
denounced German ring, and heaven
knows as we'll as earth, that crowd was
never excelled in political jobbery.
If any dyed in the wool partisan of the
old parties can deny any part of this in
dictment let him come out in the sun
shine and do so, and not skulk behind

PIRATES BURIED GOLD.
Treasure Worth 100000 Believed to BE
Hidden Away in Louisiana.

Treasure Worth 100000 Believed to Be
Hidden Away in Louisiana.
Not long ago MIR. Palmer, of Lake
Charles. La. purchased a tract of land
situated on the south bank of English
bayou. at its junction with the Cal
casieu. This property is commonly
known as the "English Bayou Bluffs. :
To all intents this gentleman made
the deal simply for purposes of specula-
ton. SO it may be imagined that Mr..
Palmer was overwhelmed by the legend
which was told him few days ago.
lie was one morning in his office
when an old creole came In and intro
duced himself. After few minor re-
marks he suddenly inquired if Mr.
Palmer had not made the deal for The
land about the mouth of the bayou. On
being answered in the affirmative, he
told this story:
Along in the first part of this CEN
fury things were rocky in these parts
There was no town here then, and, with
the exception of Il few scattered
ranches. the country was held by the
Quelquesho and Choctaw Indians.
"The Calcasieu river, however, and
it's tributaries were in the possession
of the pirate, LATTE. For years he
made this section one of his hiding
places, and secure one it was, for,
once across the bar with his chopper
built schooners, he was beyond the
reach of the average deep-water cruiser.
but it is said that on one occasion
b;S orOccaI no ko, nd ri
him up the river, for he sailed as far as
the English bayou, and there on these
high banks, in the angle formed by the
two streams, he buried 100000 in gold.
Then about 200 yards further up the
Calcasieu, he sunk his vessel, and with
his men took to the dense swamps, leav-
ing his pursuers no clew as TO his where
abouts, and they probably never knew
what became of the vessel or its crew."
Whether this man spoke the truth or
not am unable to say, but in all proba-
bility there is some ground for the
legend. At all events the story leaked
out, and one morning before week had
passed freshly dug holes on the bluffs
showed that some one had been pros
pecting for the lost gold.
Up the Calcasieu, about mile from
this spot, there is locality which has
always borne a special charm for the
fortune hunter, as well as for those in
search of ancient legends.
AS with the other place, Lafitte is the
hero of the tale. but the treasure re-
poses at the bottom of the river. 1t
seems that the pirate suddenly found
himself in a tight place with one of his
vessels. On board were heaps of costly
ewelry-diamonds, rubies and pearls
which he had taken from merchantmen
on the high seas.
Either from a notion of his own, or
because he did not have time to do other
wise, LATTE filled one of his cannon
with this fabulous wealth, and, sealing
it up, threw it overheard in bend of
the riYer.-N. Y. Times. -
