Harry Crawford's Big BLUM.

Wabash Plain Dealer.
Harry Crawford, the owner and promoter
Of the Chicago, Indiana & Eastern Road,
now in operation from Matthews to Fair
mount, ran a large bluff on the taxpayers
of Sims township, Grant county, when he
declared that unless a subsidy OF $l0,0O was
forthcoming from that township ne would
give his great cabbage and potato trunk
line another shoot and miss SWayzee en-
tirely. OF course this would mean decay
and ultimate ruin to the agricultural in
terests of Sims township, SO two or three
hundred farmers to avert the calamity
voted to go down in their trousers and
pay Crawford the 100000. Others, who didn't
have an abiding faith in the ability of
Crawford to make or mar the fortunes of
the township voted against the raid and
they proved to be in the majority. When 1t
was all over Crawford told the people
how sorry they would be when they
saw his vegetable expresses whiZzing by,
just outside the Sims township line, and
how the taxes collected from his corpora
ton would go to swell the reasury of a
rival township. There were no evidences
of sorrow manifested, however, by the sod
den inhabitants of Sims and to the aston
ishment of these people Crawford has con-
Guided that there is but one route for his
road and that is via SWayzee, and he has
ordered the grading of the line between

A New VestibuIe Train.

The initial train of the Burlington
Southwestern limited left Chicago yes
terday at $50 o'clock in the afternoon. The
train consists of baggage car and smoker
through to Kansas City; one chair car to
Kansas City and another via St. Joseph
to L-eavenworth, one sleeper to Kansas
City, one to st. Joseph and Leaven-
worth. and one via Hannibal n
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway for
Texas and a dining car. The train is new
throughout and presents several new fea-
lures in equipment and in construction. The
platform on the baggage cars has been en-
tirely dispensed with and the extra length
so gained will be used for the storage of
baggage. The vestibules of the cars, both
sleepers and coaches, are of a new pat
tern, and more space is given them than
has been the custom heretofore. All the
cars are made especially for this train, and
will not be used in any other service. The
running time of the new limited train will
not be faster than that of the trains which
the Burlington has run between Chicago
and Kansas City, but the train is finer
than any the road has ever sent out of Chi

HANNA's LAST VISIT TO CANTON.
He Talks 10 Reporters About the Senator
ship and Other Matters.

Canton, O., Feb. 24.-Nationai Chair
man NJ. A. Hanna arrived at Canton
last evening and was driven il: Presi-
dent-elect McKinley's carriage to the
majors house. After dinner al the Nc
Kinley home Hanna talked freely to a
number of newspaper and +? 2ss repre-
sentatives. He said his appointment to
the senate by Governor Bushnell was
very gratifying TO him and an honor
which he greatly appreciated. He said
his appointment had cl-rified the situa-
ton in the state. which had never been
as opaque as many people were inclined
tc think. This would indicate that
Hanna had not al any time felt doubt
full Of his appointment. In speaking of
the term to follow the vacancy Hanna
said: IF I can't win my seat 1 don't
want it," This is taken as an indication
that he will be in the senatorial race
for the long term.
In speaking of the work of the COM
ing congress he said it was paramount
that sufficient revenue be raised imme-
diately to meet the obligations of the
government. ana at the same time re-
store business activity and put the idle
men at work. NO one knows the neces-
sity of such course better than I
do" ssid Hanna, land as a business
man ] will euSeavor to do all 1 can
as a senator - bring about this result
I believe il is the desire of the senator's
and members of the house to provide
relief for the business depression and
that all will give their aid to the ac-
complishment of this end"
Hanna will remain the guest OF Nc
Einley until today noon. He will then
return to Cleveland and will leave for
Washington Friday noon. This is posi-
| lively my last visit to Canton before

hands with the newspaper men. Up to

remarks. Bailey rendered to the Repub-
licans his sympathy for the troubles Of
patronage which would beset them
March 4. On that day, he said, there
would be $4,000 office-seekers and co.
600 offices. -Four years ago. said he,
you laughed at our embarrassment;
now We laugh at yours. You have no
more chance of escaping the wrath of
the office-seekers at the next congress
cional elections than we had of escaping
the disapproval of the people for the
mal-administration of the adminisra-
ton about to retire from power"
Rock That Wrecks Iaj0rities.
Proceeding, Bailey declared that ev-
cry member on the floor realized the
dangers of patronage. There were from
five to ten disappointed applicants for
the postoffices in every town, great or
small. In fifty congressional districts
the majority was less than 1000. Every
enc of those districts would go Demo-
cratic at the next election. Patronage
created friction between senators and
representatives, discord between the ex-
ecutive and the legislative. 1t was quar-
rels over patronage that drove from
the senate most of the brilliant men
who had been in that body in thirty
years. 1t was the heat of the zeal for
office which SO influenced the brain of a
mad man that he shot down a president
1T is the apple of discord, and we as
partisans should rejoice at every office
created for you to fill, for every office
creates disappointment, which makes it
more certain that Democratic majori-
ty will succeed the Republican majority
Of the next congress"
Plenty of "SpOilsmen" Alive Yet.
Flynn (Rep.) aroused many Of the
Republicans to applause by declaring
that if he could have his way he would
wipe out the civil service law and fill
every Office with a Republican in both
| houses. Grosvenor ridiculed the civil
service system and predicted amid up
roarious applause from the Republic
ans that the tide was rising which
| would sweep the law out of existence
and give the young men Of this coun-
try chance. Bailey again secured the
floor and after remarking upon the
peculiar relations" existing between the
gentlemen from Ohio [Grosvenor] and the
| incoming president, asked sententious-
ly il the Democrats were warranted in
assuming that his utterances were to be
accepted as a notice that the civil SER
vice law is to be repealed.

work by the half hundred Populist edi-
tors who refused to recognize the right
Of President Paul Vandervoort to call

association at Memphis, and who came
here In response to a call of National
Secretary Treasurer a. Rozelle. Proba-
bly, the most interesting event Of the

Fith of the Resolutions Adopted.
The pith of the resolutions upon which
the new organization stands Is as fol-
lows: while we favor principles above
party. yet we as a press association
counsel the preservation of the Peoples
party organization and at the same time
favor q cooperation with other friendly
bodies, locally or otherwise, to the erd
that the Peoples party organization
may be more beneficial. We hold our
selves In readiness to affiliate and con-
oolidate with the National Reform Pres.
association whenever that association
shows n disposition to indulge In that
spirit of liberation and liberality which
we accord to them. and TO this end WE
recommend that the executive commit
tee of this body place itself in com
munication with the constituted au'
thorities OF the National Reform Pres:
association and take such other step:
from time to time as may be neces
sary to accomplish the desired end, sub
