WANT HENRY GEORGE.
Free Silver Men Would Nominate
Him for Mayor of New York.

New York, Sept. 21.-Henry George will
. be asked to accept the nomina ton for
mayor of New York on the platform of
the free silver Democrats, and in the
event of his refusal William ]. Gaynor,
justice of the supreme court, is to be
asked to become the standard bearer.
Should Justice Gaynor decline the honor
there are others from whom the silver
men may choose.
Whoever the candidate may be, he will
not be compelled to personally bear the
expenses of the campaign, as the free
silver Democrats have been raising
money and are said to have an exchequer
strong enough to meet all reasonable de-
mands.
The question whether or not the regular
Democratic organization will reaffirm the
Chicago platform does not influence the
silver men, according to Robert Stewart.
chairman of the united Democracy and
a possible candidate for mayor. He
said:
There is nothing left for the Chicago
platform men-who are the regular Dem
ocrats-to do but nominate ticket.
1.-The action of the state committee and
the influences that are at work in the
Democratic organizations in the Greater
New York are such that the Democratic
voters feel that they must take matters
in their own hands
LAS to the states ticket we are DEM
ocrats and want to see the Democratic
party win, but we cannot and will not
accent any man for office about whose
loyalty last year there is any question
If Judge Parker should withdraw and
a loyal Democrat, known to have stood
by the party and the ticket last fall
should be substituted, we would gladly
aid in his election. If he remains on the
IF Henry George would accept the
mayoralty nomination he can have it
unanimously understand. however,
that he is unwilling to assume the bur
den of the campaign, because he desires

A strong effort will be made to make him
accept the nomination.
should Mr.. George decline, Justice
William ]. Gaynor may be prevailed upon
to accept He would unite all Demo-
Gratis. I understand that Henry George
indorses Justice Gaynor. There is plenty
of material available. however, and money
to conduct a vigorous campaign"
The free silver men. known as the Unit
ed Democratic Organizations of the
Greater New York, last night decided to
hold a city convention on September q
and nominate an Independent ticket. This
action was taken by the committee of
twenty-five to whom had been given full
power by the conference of the United
Democratic Organizations, held at the
Holland House last week.

THE FATE OF TRUSTS.

The decision rendered by Judge Fos-
ter in the Kansas City Live Stock Ex-
change case marks one more step to-
ward the termination of the war be-
tween the trusts and the people. Yet
none can tell how much longer the bat
tie will last
While decisions along the lines laid
down by Judge Foster are becoming
more and more frequent and sweeping
in their character the trusts seem not
at all dismayed. They go on organ
izing. combining and extending the
field of their operations From con-
solidating a number of corporations in
to trust, the trusts themselves have
begun to unite.
The Rockefellers who were the pio-
neers in the formation of an immense
combination for the control of the oil
business are now reported to have in
cluded sugar in their operations and
are reaching out for gas.
Combinations for the production and
distribution of the necessaries of life
might be SO conducted as to be of great
advantage to the public and at the
same time profitable to those in control
of them. But the disposition to over
work the machinery for squeezing out
profits and to thus levy an unjust
tribute on the people seems ever pres
ent.
1t is this tendency which excites crit
icisn, then condemnation and finally
open revolt which eliminates in some
thing like Judge Fosters decision.
If the Kansas City Live Stock Ex-
change had been content to conduct it's
business on a fair and equitable basis
exacting from its patrons no more than
its services were worth it is improba-
hot
interfering with it's operations
All the other trusts singly or COM
bined must ultimately be wrecked on
the same rock of greed

PENSION LIST GROWS.
Deficit is $6,ooo,ooo With 100000
App aelons on File

Washington, Sept 21-It is about the
life of a generation of men since Grant
received Lees sword at Appomattox,
and yet he pension list is steadily grow
ing larger. 1t has been known for
some time that the appropriation would
be insufficient, but today Commissioner
congress meets in regular session in De
cember it will be confronted with the
necessity of passing. a deficiency ap-
prOpria ton bill carrying at least Sc, 000,-
600, and possibly more, to square up
Uncle Sans accounts with his veteran
defenders and their relatives of differ
ent degrees.
Commissioner Evans estimates that
the payments for pensions for the fiscal
year will foot up Sl47 500, 000 The ap
preparation was S141, ,263, $50. The high
water mark for pensions was in 1895,
when the payments amount to SIS, $751;
557, since which time they have been
kept down to the figures of this years
appropriation. The payments for pen
siOns this year Will be within $50 900, 600
of much as the entire receipts of the
government from customs last year, and
more than equal to the entire internal
revenue tax.
In explaining the reasons for the in
crease Commissioner Evans said:
ITO begin with, there are something
like 100000 old claims pending before
the bureau, which will be acted upon as
rapidly as we can get to them. A great
many of these are good claims, ought
to be, and will have to be allowed They
d
money, possibly 5000, 600, although no
definite estimate of this can be made
now.
Then there is a remarkabl increase
in the number of new applications for
pensions. For instance, in the last six
months of the fiscal year of 1896 the ap-
plicatiOns under the general laws were
15, 500, while in 1897, the month of June
they were 1S,16S The applications un-
der the act of June p, 1890, for six
months in 1896, were 10, ,865, and for the
month of June, 1897, were % 0O1
There are a number OF persons on the
pension roll of the United Sates'' said
Commissioner Evans of the pension bIl-
reau, who are drawing S45 per month
and upward and it is my intention to
prepare a list of them for publication
Hundreds of people are being provided
for on this roll of honor, many of whom
deserve all that can be given them, but
there are others who are not SO worthy
We want to weed out all who are not
entitled to consideration and the con-
clusion has been reached to scatter the
list of highly paid pensioners as widely
as possible"

LOVE AND LAW
Form the Basis of Romance Which
Culminated in Wedding Today


Jealousy of a brother and the most
meager circumstantia1 evidence, based
wholly on a technicality of law, were
the causes which in November, 1895,
landed DR.. Homer A Call of Cherokee
county in the penitentiary for thirteen
years.
He was pardoned yesterday by Gov.
Leedy and was Immediately married to
the girl whose jealous brother had pros
ecuted Call for alleged wrong.
In September, 1885, Call and his sweet
they would marry. Some weeks were
spent in preparations for the event, but
they finally decided to cross the line in
to Missouri where, under the common
consent law, they were married by
justice of the peace with but little ex-
pense compared with that which the
Kansas laws require.
After the wedding the bride and
groom returned home and spent day
with her parents. They then went to
the home of Calls parents, where, upon
complaint of the girls brother, who was
a rival doctor, Call was arrested under
charges of statutory assault.
Young Havely produced witnesses to
prove that the girl was not quite IL
years of age, and therefore not eligible
to marriage under the Missouri laws,
and upon that evidence, Call was con-
victed and sent to the penitentiary.
He has been behind the prison bars
two years, but the young wife has re-
mained true to him despite the protests
of her brother, and today she met Call
as he emerged from the penitentiary,
whereupon they proceeded to the office
of the probate judge of Leavenworth
county and were married
The governor issued the pardon upon
condition that the marriage should take

CARNEGIE AN EXILE.
Wealthy Pittsburger Will Spend
Most of His Time Abroad

Pittsburg. Pa, Sept. 21-Andrew Car
negie will spend less time in this coun-
try hereafter Robert A Franks, rep
resenting Mr.. Carnegieg said yesterday:
Mr.. Carnegie has been strongly advis-
ed by his physicians to spend his sum-
mer holidays in the dryest part Of Scot
land, near the sea. This location is
narrow strip extending south from Gro
marty, Moray and Beauty firths to In
verness. Mr.. Carnegie has found the
sea his cure under all circumstances; an
ocean voyage has never failed to bene-
fit him.
But Mr. Carnegie's health is the
principal consideration in view. He
hopes to live to a ripe old age in the
dry and mild though bracing climate in
the summers, running out to the friend
ly sea now and then for the day, re-
turning at night.
Mr.. Carnegie may not return to
New York this year, as his physicians
obtained a positive promise from him
before he sailed from New York that
the family would spend one winter
among the flowers in the south of
France to insure his recovery before
again trying a New York season.
