Eld, y. L. Smith received last week
a call from the Christian church
at Lincoln, Kansas, at a salary above
That which he was receiving here.
Evangelist Sims realized that the
church in Wellington would suffer a
severe loss by his removal and with
outcOnSulting Ed. Smith he went be-
fore the official board with the infor-
nation, and the board realizing the
value Of their pastors services un-
anlmouSly expressed themselves favor
able to raising his salary $500 begin
ming the first of May, if the church
was willing and could raise the money.
Ed. Smiths absence at Belle PLANE
Sunday was taken advantage of by
Evangelist Sims and the church, and
additional pledges to the amount of
$3.50 was quickly raised for the pur-
pose and it is hoped that Ed. Smith
Will decline the call from Lincoln,
which we are advised is very urgent,
but the matter has not yet been def
lnltely determined. Ed. Smith is
very popular with his congregation
and with the people If Wellington
and Sumner county. He has done ex-
cellent work for the church here. is a
splendid scholarly preacher and we
sincerely hope he will remain wit b us.

The annual dinner of the sc

The annual dinner of the so
called Reform Club given at the
Waldorf in New York last week,
passed off with great satisfaction
to the London and Wall street
bankers who paid for it at the
rate of $l2 plate. But there were
some drawbacks in the eyes of the
public. Cleveland didn't tell why
he had always screamed "sound
money" without ever explaining
what it is; Carlisle omitted to state
how much of the gold standard he
got for DESERVING bimetallism; and
Carl Scburz failed to mention the
time when the Rothschilds invest
ed him in American politics. The
leaders ofthe club were too modest,
also, to praise themselves for the
vigorous part they took in plan
ming and precipitating the great
panic of 1893. But, as the mission
of the New York Reform Club is
to disseminate economic darkness
and confusion, it's dinner was a
juicy illustration of it's character.

HE WANTS n THIRD TER.f.

The belief that Mr.. Cleveland
wants to be the democratic candi-
date in 1900 is prevalent among
democrats in congress, and that
his New York speech was his first
move in that direction. Speaking
on the subject Representative
Richardson, of Tenn, said: Gas
soon as he was out of office before,
a plan of campaign was organized
in his behalf. Although his nomi-
nation see ned to be the result of q
popular wave in his favor the fact
is that sentiment for him was
adroitly stimulated by articles in
the country press and by literature
sent out by mail, both emanating
rom headquarters in New York.
His friends had plenty of money
and the same organization is at his
disposal today" Representative
Bland, of Mo-, said: Eyes, Cleve-
land hopes to be nominated, and
he will be, but not by the demo-
cratic party, which will remain
true to the principles declared at
Chicago last year. He will be the
candidate of the handful of people
at the Reform Club dinner. I shall
be very glad to see the issue direct
ly made, for 1 do not believe Mr..
Cleveland will find a corporal's
guard to follow him. There is one
good thing about the dinner. It
shows that there is to be no con-
cession and no compromise, and
that the Cleveland party will not
coalesce with the 6,500,000 who
followed the regular standard
bearer" Representative Stallings,
Of Ala, said: Il should not wonder
if Cleveland hopes to gather to
himself the republicans, especially
in the west, who are not favorable
to high tariff. He will get sup
port from wherever he can and
from whatever party that is willing
to help him in his ambitions. The
democracy however, will 60 ahead
and make its fight without him"
Representative Carmack, of Tenn,
said: Il have heard the gentlemen
who participated in the Reform
Club dinner called the Waldorf
democracy, because they met at
the hotel of that name, but [ call
them the walled-off democracy, be-
cause they are by themselves, re-
presenting oobody, and unable to
influence a vote. [ have no doubt
that Mr.. Cleveland or his friends
are scheming to have him noml-
mated in 1900, but they will GER
tainly not be successful if they
hope to have him at the head of
the regular democracy. He will
never be in the ranks of our party
again.
