TO SAVE THE GRAVE
Of an "Amiable Child''-Sharing Hon
ors With Gen. Grant.

New York, March 24.-Next to the
tomb of General Grant the most inter-
esting object on Riverside Drive is
little monument erected to the mem
DRY of an amiable child" which stands
across the drive from the great rnauso-
leum which is soon to be dedicated.
Its presence there in a public park
after the lapse of more than century
is so fine a tribute to the gentleness that
underlies the apparent brutality of a
great city that the little stone has come
to be almost national institution.
Ninety years ago Gulian Yer Planck
bought the property from the father of
the 'amiable child" who had planned
to establish a typical English estate
upon it, but had given up the idea when
British rule in New York became a
thing of the past. With the growth of
the city the Yer Planck family cut the
property into dwelling sites. and from
them the city acquired the portion of it
upon which the tombstone stanus.
The park department has undertaken
to preserve the sanctity of the grave of
the child.

POPULISTS FOR SILVER.
Representatives in Congress Say At
tempts to Divide the Silver
Forces VIII Fail

Washington, March 24-The Popu-
list members of the senate and house
held a conference at the rooms of Sen
ator Allen last evening. It was not a
caucus in the general sense of that
term, but one of a series of weekly
conferences which the members of the
third party will hold during the special
session and perhaps afterwards.
Representative Bell of Colorado said :
THE Republican leaders who were so
active in supporting the middle-of-the
road national ticket last fall are, I
think, back of the present effort to Sc
cure a national convention or confer
ence. There is no occasion for such a
convention at this time. The only pos
sible purpose of it is to endeavor to
divide the silver forces and to disor-
ganiZe the Populist party. l do not
believe the middle-of-the-road Popu-
lists can possibly secure the calling of
a convention, or control it if called"
Representative Jerry Simpson of
Kansas said, after the caucus:
For myself, have always felt like
the lady delegate from Colorado, who
addressed our national convention at
St. Louis last summer. She said when
the issue is between Bryan and Mchin-
ley there is no middle of the road. The
situation has not changed any since the
last campaign. 1t is still a fight be-
tween the gold standard and the OPP
ponents of a contracted currency. The
middle of-the-rOaders have been to all
intents and purposes assistant Republi-
rams

TARIFF ON COTTON
Is Demanded by Congressman Nc
Lauren of South Carolina.

Washington, March 24-Mr. McLau-
rem, a Democratic member of the ways
and means committee from South Car
Dina, created a mild sensation during
the tariff debate yesterday by boldly
prOclaiming himself in favor of a duty
on cotton, and it was noticeable that
when he repudiated the free raw ma
terial doctrines of Cleveland and Car
Isle, land those who have prostituted
the name of Democracy" fully three
fOurths of the Democrats on the floor
sustained him with hand and voice.
The other speakers during the day
were Mr.. Gibson, (Rep., TENN, Dock
cry, (Dem., MOI, Newlands, (Silverite,
New. Dacey, Rep., Ia.), Swanson,
Mr.. Swanson, (Dem., Va.), of the ways
and means committee referred to the
great political revolutions which have
occurred in this country for the last II
said it did not show any f1ckleness on
the part of the people, but an honest
effort on their part to obtain the pros
perity they sought. He said that in
less than four years two extraordinary
sessions of congress, in times of peace,
had been called TO remedy the existing
the present evils could not have arisen
from deficient revenue, or from the i'm
paired credit of the government. He
argued that the want of adequate pro-
lection for American Industries could
not be the cause of the depression; that
the substance of this assertion if true,
would be that there had been an in
creased importation of foreign goods
and that this Importation had flooded
the markets and prevented the sale of
home goods. He argued that the de-
pressed condition of the manufacturing
Industries had not resulted from for
eign competition but the home manu-
facturer had lost his market not be-
cause the foreigner had taken 1t but
because his customers were too poor to
make purchases; that relief could not
come to the manufa cturer until the
price of wheat, corn, oats, tobacco and
other products increased. He insisted
that the low price of these resulted from
the appreciation of gold, which would
continue so long as silver was demone-
tized. He said the committee had left
ly received a differentiaI of one-eighth
of cent per pound; but asserted this
was not true. and that the differential
to e of a cent per pound.
In conclusion he characterized the
bill as the most exorbitant in it's exac-
tions the most prohibitory in it's char
acter.
Mr. Cochran, (Dem., MOI, the last
speaker of the day, while denouncing
the Republican policies, produced a
burst of applause on the Democrat tic
side by referring to Mr.. Cleveland as
that great Republican leader" This
bill, he argued. was an effort to evade
the real issue before the country.
At o'clock the house took a recess
until 8 o'clock.

Says Senator Gallinger of the
Civil Service System.
Senate SpoiIsmen Take a Fling
at the Law.
GALLERIES APPLAUD.
Even POpulist Allen Calls it a
Humbug.
HOar and Lodge Its Only De-
tenders in the Senate.

Washington, March 24.-The senate
was unexpectedly precipitated into
civil service debate today. 1t pro-
ceeded for two hours, the civil service
act, and the commission, being under
fire most of the time. The debate as
sumed added significance, owing to the
recent change of administration, and
the attendant demand for offices.
Mr.. German of Maryland, called at
tention to the presence in Washington
of horde of hungry place-hunters, and
expressed profound sympathy with his
Republican associates over the restric-
lions of the civil service system. The
discussion came up on a resolution to
investigate federal removals at the
South Omaha, Neb., office
Mr.. Gallinger of New Hampshire,
chara cterized the civil service system
as a humbug, and declared he would be
glad to cast his vote to blot out the
system. There was continued applause
in the galleries at this statement Mr..
Allen of Nebraska called the civil SER
vice act a monumental humbug' and
Mr.. Wilson (Rep., Washn.). said it was
"humbug, a delusion, a snare and a
fraud"
Mr.. Hawley of Connecticut, while de-
Tending the principle of civil service,
said its practice had been attended with
glaring 1ncompetency. Mr. stewart OF
Nevada, regarded the civil service COM
mission as an office brokerage estab-
uShment.''
Hoar and Lodge, defended the law.
The resolution directing the civil ser
vice committee to investigate the
South Omaha, Neb., removals was
brOadened by an amendment inStructing
the committee to inquire into the gen
eral operation of the law and TO report
whether it should be continued amend
ed or repealed.
Mr.. Turpie of Indiana, spoke at some
length in advocacy of the election Of
United States senators by popular vote,
detailing the uncertainties and fire.
quent scandals attending the present
method of choosing senators.
Mr.. Turpie closed al $40 p. m, and
the senate went into executive session.
The open session was resumed at 1920
The bill was passed to establish the Of
fetal survey of certain lands in Ne
braska, west of the NiObrara river. On
motion of Mr.. Hoar the bankruptcy
bill, which was reported favorably, was
giving it right of way after 2 p. m.
daily.
A resolution by Mr.. Chandler, was
agreed to, calling on the secretary of
state for information as to the amounts
paid to aliens as indemnity for person
al injury from mObS and whether eff
forts had been made to secure reim-
bursements from the states where the
mob violence occurred.
Mr.. PettigTew called up the bill to
amend the act regarding the timber
culture laws. He said: This bill pass
ed the senate and house at the last ses-
sion but failed to receive the presi-
dents signature, as he was too busy
fishing"
The bill was then passed.
At 3:45 p. m, the senate adjourned.

Within the past year among the thou
sands of hearty testimonials to the
wonderful curative powers of Paine's
celery compound that have been re-
ceived by Wells, Richardson & Compa-
ny-among the thousands of grateful
letters received from every state and
town in the country, there have come no
less than six hearty Endorsements from
members of the national house of rep
resentatives.
All were willing that their experience
should be published, believing rightly
that they might thus do good to others.
In these columns have already been
published the letters received from
Congressman Meredith, Bell, Grout and
Powers.
Now comes a letter from Congressman
Robert Neill of Arkansas, as follows:
My home is in Batesville, Ark. Dur
ing the last spring and summer my
eldest daughter, then II years of age,
was in very poor health. suffering from
general debility, nervous prostration
and frequent slight feVerS. She had the
best medical attention, but apparently
with little benefit. In the latter part
of September last, while still feeble, she
began the use of Paine's celery COM
pound, and improved in health contin-
uouSly. In three months she had fully
recovered. and is now in perfect health.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1897-03-24

I am bound to think the remedy Is sn
excellent one, and do not hesitate to
recommend it to the suffering"
To postpone at such a vital time az
this regulating the nerves and purify
ing the blood is a serious mistake. Men
and women distressed by nervous trou-
bles or the effects of impure blood can
not afford now to lose a day before TAX
ing advantage of Paine's celery COM
pound.
In order to avoid disappointment ac-
cept nothing but Paine's celery COM
pound. A clerk who tries to sell some
thing else than what the people ask for
is evidently not disinterested. He has
an eye to profits more than to the good
of the customers.
There can be no substitute for Paine's
celery compound.
This has been shown time and time
again in cases where persons, too cas-
lily led, have carried home something
besides Paine's celery compound, and
have failed to get the decided benefit
they had hoped for.
The strongest Endorsement ever re-
ceived for this great spring remedy-and
no remedy ever compared with Paine'S
celery compound in the character and
the number of the witnesses to its eff
ficiency-the strongest Endorsement it
ever received did not Overestirnate or
exaggerate in the least its unrivalIed
power of making people we'll

M'KINLEY'S SIGNATURE.
Evolution From "Wm. Jr" to Plain
"William.r

Washington, March 24-There is
much interest manifested by the init
mate associates of the president in the
evolution of his signature. When he
was governor of Ohio the first term his
father was living, and he signed his
name william Mckinley, Jr'.' The
father died after the son had been gov
ernor of the state for a little over
year. He was then anxious to drop
Jr. from his name, but as he had ia
ken the oath of office as William Nc
Kinley, Jr.," he decided to continue
putting that as the official signature to
all documents. When governor of Ohio
the second term he dropped the word
Jr-" signing his name William Nc
kinley.'
During the latter part of his term as
governor, Mckinley signed the word
VIM" SO often That the letter I'm" be-
came almost a straight line. This
caused confusion, many people mistak-
ing the name for a letter wv" with a
straight stroke running out from the
top of the letter.
Before taking the oath of office as
president Major Mckinley decided that
thereafter he would sign his name
William Mckinley" and that is the
way he has affixed his signature to all
documents turned out from the White
House since the 4th of March. evil

documents with which he has to deal
during his term as president.

affairs, and they ought to abstain who'll
" from making political nominations
The union has been, and will continue
to be, extremely careful not to encroach
upon the proper province OF political
parties, and to that end it will make no
nominations for political offices, sIch
as representatives in the state legisLa-
tive officers. Still less will it have any
thing to do in any shape with national
elections
Mr.. Carter was asked whether the
union would be in favor of any nego-
tiatiOns with other political parties in
reference to the forthcoming elections,
such as were had in 1895. He said that,
so far as he was aware, every person
engaged in the movement was absolute
ly opposed to any such negotiations;
that this method had been practiced
heretofore and had undoubtedly re-
suited in the choice of officers who mad
accomplished much good, but that
there were insuperable objections to it,
and it was fit to be relied upon 1nly in
emergencies, when no other line of &C
ton could be resorted to.
THE recent discussions and the pro-
jected measures in relation to the re-
organization of the police department.
concluded Mr.. Carter, have tended
only to make the general mass of dis
interested citizens more and more sat
isfied that no good results can be ex-
pected from the management of such
matters by the political parties. Such
management will, in every instance, be
inevitably shaped, as far as possible,
SO as to turn municipal power and pat
rOnage to the advantage of the pollti-
cal party that happens to possess the
power to carry any such projected
measures through, and not directed in
the interetS of the community"

Washington and the representativ of the
local press. Although it was a busy day
in congress. at least $50 representatives
of the leading newspapers of the country
had gathered in the east room when the
president entered at o'clock.
During the IA years service in congress
Maj. Mckinley had become intima tely ac-
quainted with a majority of the crowd
and although some of them entertain
political views at variance with his, it
was plainly manifest that for him per-
sonaliy and as president, they all en-
terrain the highest respect. His cor
dial greeting of his old acquaintance
was a pleasant feature of the reception.
The corps was introduced by Mr.. Bun
nell. the chairman of the standing COM
mittee and at the conclusion of the hand
shaking. the president mingled freely with
his callers and again expressed his plea
sure in meeting the corps of Washington,
whom he had so pleasantly known in the
years gone by.
Several other delegations called and
were gratefully received today,

BRITISH ARE DISGUsTED.
They Don't Like the Senate's Treat
ment of the Arbitration Treaty.

London, March 24.-The Times in an
editorial this morning gives an express
sion to anything but satisfied feeling
as to the senatorial amendments to the
treaty of arbitration. 1t says: 1.-THE
United States has done what optimists
affected to believe impossible and what
observers thought extremely probable.
1t has destroyed the arbitration treaty.
The first amendment accepted is alone
sufficient to render a treaty unwork-
able and utterly worthless.
THE senate has done more than to
wreck an instrument carefully forged
by representatives of two nations. 1t
has struck a blow at the principle of
arbitration itself and at the confidence
of the world in the American people.
It's action strikes a note of 1evity. In
proportion to the blessing to be missed
must be our regret for the lamentable,
the almost ignominious fate of an hon
est and well meant eudeaVor."
