stantly pushing man from behind, impellng
him forward, and without which there would
be no progress. Possessing that common trait
Of tho Teutonic race, the desire to better his
condition, resulting often in emigration to
America, Radtke bethought himself of the far
west aud the milder climate of the Pacific
slope. His friends had told him of the "Prai-
RE Schooner" of years agone, when weeks were
consumed in the long, tedious overland jour
ney; but he had read of the improvements in
travel following the advent of the iron horse, :"
and accordingly, after inquiry concerning the
best route. he purchased ticket via the Chi

By the baggage checking system Of the road
it was easy to ascertain that the baggage had
been checked by man named Hermann
Radtke from Chicago, ILL.,, on February IL,
1890. to Council Bluffs, Iowa. At the latter
station the baggage lay unclaimed until May
10. 1891, when it was brought to Chicago and
sold at public auction for $3.50. During sll
these years there has been nothing discovered
to penetrate the mystery as to how the bit of
brass came to be found away up in Uncle Sans
frigid northwestern territory.
What became of Hermann Radtke? Why
did he leave his effects behind at Council
Bluffs aud what was his fate? All these are
the questions which the North Western people
have asked over aud over again. Several times
inquiries have been made at Chicago in the
hope that the holder of check No. 1901 may
have had relatives who could throw some light
on Radtke's movements after he checked the
trunk, but each effort has proved futile The

H. Clay Evans for the Cabinet.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In his
recent letter to The NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
commencing Hon. II. Clay Evans for Cabinet
portfolio, Comrade John Schade, 5Sth Ohio,
expresses the sentiment not only of every
true Republican and Union soldier in Ten
nessee, but he might have added that there
are thousands Of honorable Democrats and
ex-rebel soldiers in the State who would be
equally gratified to have Mr.. Evans receive
National recognition.
His selection as one Of President McKin-
ley's official family would be hailed with in
tense satisfaction by millions of Americans
whose representatives cast 277 votes for him
as aVice-Presidential nominee in the st.
Louis Convention, and who realize that such
selection would be the most potent rebuke
that could be given the ring scOundrels who
counted him out of the gubernatorial Office
to which he was honestly and legally elected
in 1894
- 1t should be known to our comrades
throughout the land that there is small
coterie of political tricksters and buneoists
in this State who are making sneaklng,
cowardly fight in opposition to the appoint
ment of Comrade Evans. A few of these
are animated by sectional feeling, and
would. if they dared to, put badge OF IN
feriority on every Tennesseean of Northern
birth who aspired to a political Office, and
they oppose Mr.. Evans simply because he
was born in another State. Others OF the
coterie are jealous of his popularity and In
fuence, or are aware that he prevented them
from squandering campaign funds for their
own selfish or mercenary use. In fact the
entire cabaI is made up of men who are ut
only for treason, stratagem and spoils."
1t is believed that Comrade Mckinley has
been made aware of the true inwardness of
their opposition. and that he will not in the
slightest degree be influenced by it'll. G.

Once at the last session Mr.. Johnson denounced

Cooper also took occasion 10 score the gentle
