A DESPERATE effort will be made
this year to whip republican can
didates and conventions into line
to endorse Hannaism, and much
stress will be laid on the effort of
Mckinley to effect International
bimetallism, and Ed Wolcott and
his European juggIery will be put
in evidence that the republican
party has already secured the CO.
operation of Europe to restore sill
yer. This is about all Eddie and
his two patriotic jupketcrs arc in
Europe for. We don't believe any
one Of those three commissioners,
or Mckinley or Hanna or a single
member of congress has any hope
of securing the assistance of Eng
land or Germany i'll the bi-metal-
lie scheme. There has simply
been a small sized, half grown,
sickly consent to consider the idea
of holding an international confer
encc, but with no promise of help
ing the silver cause. If such
conference is held, it will be solely
to shut the eye of the average
Yankee, while the Hanna crowd
harvest him for the plutocratic
gang-a big election scheme. Now
see if we are not right. Watch
the conventions, and see the Nc
kinley crowd work the endorse
ment of the administration. That
is all. Pueblo Press.

The populists will hold theig
convention for the nomination of
county officers Sept. %. and the
primaries Sept. 25. If the voters
will turn out to the primaries and
attend to the election of delegates
there is little danger of making
bad nominations. This is an off
year and there are to be no popular
names at the head of the ticket to
pull nominees through. There
will be no national or state ticket
to draw the public attention, hence
every candidate for county office
must stand or fall, win or lose on
his own merits.

refused Sovereign the right of free
speech:
"lou seemed to play the part of
n sneaking, cowarGly petti:ogger
whose client had no case and
sought TO quash proceedings by
the murder of the witnesses. In
my opinion you showed an eager
ness to stick dagger into the
heart of civil liberty in America

supercilious slave drivers who
feast and fatten on the blood

time OF the Revolution you would
have fought sgairst the rev rcpub-
lie in the lntcros. of tyranny ard
oppression, il indeed you have
courage enough TO fight nybody
or look fellow man in the face.
If you are n representative OF the
average mayor of Virginia, the
sooner Fitz-Hugh Lee comes homo
from Cuba to aid in protecting tho
/ rights of American citizens in his
own State the better il will be for
the peace of the whole country.

They Hold Up the Little Town of Argus
willie, N. ID.
Fargo, N. D., Dec. 13.-One of the
boldest robberies in the history of the
Red River valley occurred at Argus
Vile tonight. About o'clock two
masked men entered the store of F. D.
Payne and commanded Mr.. Payne and
c. H. Dill, travelling man of Fargo,
to hold up their hands. Both men
were searched and a gold watch and
$40 taken from Dill. Payne was forced
to give up the keys to his cash drawer
and that of the postofice, both of which
were riaed. Here the men got another
watch and 500. Payne's store is the
third door from the railroad.
One door south is the general store
of M. r. Clancy. The next move of
the two men was to march the two
victims into the street and into Clancy's
store. At the appearance of the men.
Clancy thought the whole thing joke.
In this store, besides the proprietor.
was NJ. H. Hudell, a school teacher.
The four men were placed in line. A
watch and $50 was taken from Clancy,
and SIS from the school teacher. The
four men were then faced to the wall.
and on threat of instant death, were
commanded not to move. The two
robbers then disappeared.

The Germans refuse 20 discuss the &C.
cupation of Kiao Chou bay; the govern

moved from Office, but will not be any
furtherdegraded; no monopoly of mines
and railroads is conceded to Germany,
but that country is given preference.
Finally the area Immediately surround

sively for Germany. China yields on
all other points.

WEYLER EAGER FOR WAR,
Willing to Lead q Spanish Force
Against United States.

Madrid, Dec. 13.-Gen. Weyler said
Saturday at Barcelona that, consider
ing Spain's military and naval strength
and the courage of her soldiers, she had
nothing to fear from a war with the
United States. Gen. Weyler continues:
IT such a war becomes necessary. I
Will consider it my greatest military glory
to take command Of a military expedition
against the United States. I approve the
language Of the papers hostile to McKin-
ley's message, but l think that even they
are too cold In their censures. Never have
such insults as those of Mckinley against
the representative of an army Of a friendly
nation remained unpun1shed."
Gen. Weyler said that in defense of
his campaign and honor of the army in
Cuba he would ask the government to
publish the diplomatic notes exchanged
with the United States, chiefly one sent
by Premier Canovas on the 4th of Au-
gust, this year. AS regards the leader
ship of the new Robledoist party, be
said, he did not want it. Robedo had
been very wise in proclaiming himself
the leader ad interim only. Circum-
stances alone could decide who would
be the leader.
eMadrid, Dec. 13.-Lieut. Gen. Weyler
arrived here Sunday afternoon. He
was received at the platform by Gen.
Azcarraga. former premier: Gen. Bor-
zero, former commander of the Sixth
army corps, and by number of repub-
icans, Carlists, conservatives and Ro-
beldoists. AS he alighted from the
train they cheered him and then carried
him shoulder high to the entrance of
the railway station, where he took a
carriage and was rapidly driven off
There was no further incident, the pub
lie appearing Indifferent. The par
tisans Of Gen. Weyler pretend that a
crowd of 5000 people rendered him an
ovation with shouts of "Long live Wey-
ler!" death to the Yankees!" and
the like. He will be received by the
queen regent to-day.
