SANTA FE's TITLED GUEST
Sir Henry and Lady Cunningham
Pass Through Topeka Yesterday

Sir Henry Cunningham and Lady
Cunningham, his wife, passed through
Topeka yesterday afternoon on their
way to the east, and subsequently to
their home in London. Sir Henry Gun
n1ngham is prominent Englishman,
the holder of considerable amount OF
American railroad securities and
heavy investor in British Columbia
mines, and he is now returning from
an examination of his mining interests
in the ROssland district of Canada. He
came in from Denver with General
Manager Frey in the latter's special
car, and continued with the car to Chi
cagO.
Sir Henry Cunningham is a barrister
by profession, and has spent much of
his life in India. From 1875 to 1887 he
was judge in the high court of Cal
cutta, and in 1876 was made president
OF the India famine commission by
Lord LyttOn.
He was given his title of Sir in
1885. when he was made a Knight
Companion of the Indian Empire. This
honor was conferred on him by Lord
Duferin at the conclusion of his Off
claI career in India, of which country
he was VicerOy from 1880 to 1885.
In giving his views of the present In
dian outbreaks during his short stay
in this city, Sir Henry said:
The present outbreaks on the north
western frontier OF India have moth
ing whatever to do with the famine 1t
is only one of the incidents to be ex-
pected when a strong civilized govern
ment comes in contact with WarIike ma
tiVes.
The principal tribes in rebellion are
the Afridis and the Wuziris They live
between India and Afghanistan proper.
1t may be cOnfidetly expected that the
military measures, such as raVaging
the country of the rebels, will result in
the speedy pacifcatiOn. They have
been IN rebellion for several months
and the punitive measures of the mill
tary have been adopted only recently.
Outbreaks of this sort have been OF fire.

The Voice of Boies Proceeds in a
PIaintive Appeal for Gold.

Des Moiues, Ia, Oct. t.13.-Ex- Governor
BO.es has written letter to The Lead
er upon the subject of Bullion as a
basis of national currency"
At the outset he asks the questions
Gold and silver bullion for money; is
it practicable? Can they be made an
invariable double standard for the
measurement of values2'
he answers these question in the af-
ffrnative. and says that A1r. Window
suggested the basis of the plan which
he Celebrates. He concludes his letter
thus: 1t is said no plan of that char
acter would be in accord with the Chi
cago platform. That is true, but the
Chicago platform has had its day in
court before the tribunal of last resort.
Must Democrats to be loyal adhere to
it forever? The objection is at vari-
ance with the whole theory of our form
OF government. If valid elections would
settle nothing majorities would cease
to rule, and when a political issue was
once Joined the warfare over it would
so on until one or the other of the par
ties to II was totally annihilated.''
