IRISH ON THE PRESIDENCY.
The speech of Hon. John P. Irish of
California to the toast The Presi-
dency." ELECTED much laughter and ap-
plause. He referred to the middle
states represented as the ten Mediter-
ranean states of the republic" and
sarcastically spoke of the silver Dem
ocrats celebrating Jackson day in this
city on the day before the anniversary
of the battle of New Orleans They
say we are few in numbers" he eX-
claimed. That may be true. but we
have not found it necessary to recruit
our ranks from Joliet" This sally was
taken to be directed against Governor
Altgeld's recent numerous pardons OF
conVictS, and provoked roars of laugh
ter and cheers. He added: In the
history of the future, the number of
votes cast for the Indianapolis plat
form and its candidates will not be
considered. 1t will not be said that we
constructed a bridge over which our
party marched to victory. but over
which nation passed to safety. But

Jackson crystallized the executive in

inspiration. In his Venezuelan mes

count-Will Bankrupt His Bonds
men.

Dakota City. Ia, Jan. S.-The super
visors of Humboldt county met today
and after investigation found County
Treasurer J. w. S. Lindley $4,000
short in his accounts. Lindley was
elected two years ago and was re-
elected last fall. Lindley admitted his
guilt. He was taken before Justice

could not furnish, to the grand jury.
He went to Jail.
Lindley was a live stock buyer and
did an extensive business. 1t is said
he lost heavily on stock deals last
fall and then tried to recOup by deal
ing on the Chicago board of trade, but
lost still more. A shortage in his ac-
counts was found last June, but the
matter was Strengthened up. He was
an active member of the Baptist
church and quite active in securing
the enforcement of laws. His bonds

PERRY BELnONT.
Responds to the Toast "Jackson's
Day" in New York CITY.

New York. Jan. S.-Jacksons Day
was celebrated in this city by ban
quet at the Hotel Savoy given by the
Business Mems Democratic club. Ex-
Comptroller Theodore Meyers, presi-
dent of the club, presided. With him
at the guests table were Perry Bel
mont, Postmaster Dayton, James S.
berlain Thomas c. Grain and Egan
Thomas.
Mr.. B. Meyers spoke of the results of
the election and said they were crafty
ing to business men.
Hon. Perry Belmont spoke to the
toast ''Jackson's Day" He said:
THE toast and sentiment to which
you have invited me to respond re-
fers to the military side of Jacksons
great career, as does the event we have
met to celebrate but the other side, the
civilian side, presents considerations
which have great bearings on political
issues now confronting us.
President Jackson condemned the
incorporation by congress of a nation
al bank, because such a corporation
was not necessary and appropriate
for the exercise of any power vested
by the constitution in congress. He
insisted that the word money as used
in the constitution meant only money
coined of silver and gold
THE Jackson Democracy of so years
ago insisted that the national govern
ment was intended to be a hard money
government-that the power to coin
money was a power to coin metallic
money, and not to make full legal
tenders of paper money-and congress
had no power to issue or to authorize
a corporation to issue full legal tender
paper currency. And yet last Tuesday
Senator PETER, who has invented a
great part of the Populistic fads not
known when the Republicans first Gre
ated full legal tender greenbacks, de-
clared that the federal government not
only requires silver and gold to pro-
vide for the existing Understanding
public debt, but that all the remain
ing currency of the whole country
should consist of irredeemable paper
issued exclusively by congress and
based only on public credit and the
national banks should be created by
congress and required to loan that
money on a collateral of commodities
or real estate at a rate of interest
fixed by congress. He foreShadOWed
the coming issue to be between the
currency of the Jackson Dem
ocracy supplemented by the modern de-
vice of silver and gold certificates, not
a legal tender, on the one hand-and,
on the other, a full legal tender green
back currency, as invented by the Re
publican party, and which was for II
years irredeemable in silver or gold.
THE making of legal tender money
out of anything else was unknown in
his day. Legal tender paper money
was not tolerated by Washington and
the statesmen who made the constitu-
ton what it is. The creation of mo-
would not be tolerated by Andrew
Jackson

Pierre, S. D., Jan. S.-The fight over
the removal of the capital was sprung
in the senate today. After a parlia-
mentary wrangle the resolution went
over until tomorrow, when it is ex-
pected there will be a fight. The SEN

but hard work is. being done on both
sides. 1t is reported that a railroad
lobby has entered the senatorial con-

candidates. With one of them it is
supposed a deal has been made. 1t
is claimed by some that Kyle has lost
favor with his supporters, while his
friends claim he still is in the lead.

PATIENCE AND PRUDENCE.
Weyler Asks That Both Be Used
Someillan's Trial.

Havana, Jan. S.-The trial of Louis
Someillan an American citizen, on
the charge of conspiring against the
Spanish government, began at
o'clock this afternoon. There was a
large attendance of spectators. Consul
General Lee, who recently said he
thought the evidence against the ac-
cused was very feeble. was present
After the usual preliminaries, the
charges were read. alleging that So~
meillan was an agent here for the Gu
ban junta and was in league with 9TH
ers to overthrow the Spanish authority
in Cuba.

hearings, from which it appeared that
Someillan received a code message
from Key West, which the prosecution
claimed referred to the landing of
filibustering expedition. The telegram,
which was read, was as follows:
Tell Alfredo to advise Jose Maria
Matilde marriage Thursday. Advise
if viii be present
The inference that this was a cipher
message was borne out by instruc-
tions that were found on the prisoner
when he was arrested.
Someillan was placed on the witness
stand and testified that the telegram
was intended for his cousin Jose. to
whom it was delivered. He declared
that he never mixed in politics and had
no connection with the rebels.
Witnesses were called by the prose-
cution, but the evidence was weak.
They testified to nothing that would
support the charge against the pris-
oner. The court then adjourned until
tomorrow, when further evidence will
be heard
A delegation waited upon Captain
General Weyler today TO com Niiment
him upon his conduct of the campaign
against the insurgents. In replying to
the delegation, General Weyler said
he ignored the attacks made upon him
by certain newspapers in Madrid The
attacks were due to unjustifable i'm
patience. He was satisfied that the
campaign in the province of Pina-
del Rio had given better results than
were expected, not only to the fri
umphs of the troops over the rebels.
but also in the small losses sustained
by the army. He hoped that Gomez.
the rebel leader. would come TO the
province Of Havana. Should he do so
he would surely meet his end.
General Weyler further said he at
tached no Importance to the runors
that he was to be deprived of the
command. If he were recalled, others

Captain E. Jensen and his crew of the
schooner Ellen have received very fair
treatment at Ensenada. They were
captured early in December at Elida

sent a steamer against the smugglers.

captured, and the schooner confiscated.

BUCKNER APPEARS.

The health of General Buckner was
drunk before he was called on TO speak
of the National Democracy of Ken
lucky. He said:
I'VE have saved the life of the De-
mocracy in this country. The platform
at Chicago was not Democratic. In
Kentucky we all claim to know some
thing about horses. whether we do or
not A man who is listening to me
was a foot soldier in the war with me,
and he knows something about horses.
When he read the Chicago platform he
said that is not Democracy. If / send
my agent to the market to buy a
horse and he brings me back a jackass,
l am not bound to take that jackass-'
Referring to Mr.. Bryans member
ship in the Presbyterian church, which
he said was a peculiar sect, General
Buckner told a story about meeting a
friend in Kentucky. He asked a man
to what church he belonged. The man
replied Presbyterian" What faith do
you profcss?" asked the general. His
friend replied: We'll, the chief tenet
of our faith is that the great majority
of the human race is destined to be
damned, and we are damned glad of
it,
Continuing, the general said: What
have we accomplished as a party? If
we have done nothing else we have pro-
tested against the indictments to riot:
against the Indictment of hatred of one
class of people against another. We
have run the plowshare over the foun-
dation of anarchy and fiat money. We
have protested against the. undemo-
cratic declarations in the Chicago plat
form. We have shown the world that

NJ. Wheeler (Dem. Ala..) spoke
against the bill as not a good business
proposition, and was followed by Mr.
Johnson (Rep. CALI in a speech for
the bill full of bitter sarcasm directed
against the gentleman who had
charged that the projectors of the
roads had made money out of the
construction of the enterprises He
drew a humorous picture of these men

had been completed and turning over

incredulously.
Mr. Johnson said the practical question
before the house today was how could
the government get its money? If the
roads were forced to sale. ii was de-
nonstrable fact that the proceeds of the
sale would not pay the first mortgage
let alone satisfying the government in
debtedneSs. The only feasible and prac-
ticable thing to do was to give the COM
panies time in which to pay their debts
They were no worse off. Mr.. johnson
said than the government of the United
States or national banks, in which some
Of his colleagues from California were
directors. and which could not pay their
debts if all their obligations should be
presented at once. There was no sense,
ne said in trying to force the debtor to
pay million dollars when it has not the
money. The only business-like thing to
do was to give him an opportunity to
earn the money and pay the debt. That
was what this bill proposed. he said, and
in addition. it gave to the government a
mortgage upon that part of the line
which, would enable it TO reach the ocean
in case necessity arose for seizure or sale
under the proposed mortgage.
The state of California, Mr. Johnson
said. was reported to be opposed to the
bill If it were true. great consideration
should be given to the fact, but he said
