score Of defeated senatorial candidates
are unable to get away.
The POpulistS made a demand today
upon Senator Kyle for $500, which. they
agreed to assess the successful candi-
date. Kyle referred them to Senator
Pettigrew, ito whom" he informed the
Populists, they must in future look
for their contributions.
There is no cooling off of the bitter
feelings that prevail among the anti
Kyle forces. They are still dazed, ami
have just discovered that they will be
opposed in Legislative measures by the
same vote that elected the senator
The bills creating new offices will be
killed. The Indignation meeting, held
on the night of Kyle's election is
responsible for this. Gov. Lee finds his
schemes for new offices have gone
glimmering and he has made overtures
to the Kyle members to withdraw
their opposition, but they have replied
that they intend to pay him in his own
coin.
The house of representatives met and
adjourned till tomorrow. The senate
had no session. The apportionment
committee, instead of decreasing the
legislative membership, has increased
the house five members and the senate
one member

KENTUCKY INUND
Flood Reports In From Various
Parts of the State.

LOUISVILLE, KY! Feb. 22-Thc
Times has the following advices today
from the flooded districts in this state:
Sparta, Ky.-Charles Holton. the
nineteen-year-old son of j. W. Holton.
of this, Gallatin county. was drowned
in the floods following the terrific rains
of the past two days. Others are re-
ported missing, and more than twenty
five families were compelled to flee
from their houses by the rising waters
Of Eagle creek. Young HOlton attempt
ed to cross the creek on his way from
a call on, young lady. The water is
eight feet deep in the houses along
the creek, and the loss in cattle and
hogs has been great
Frankfort. Ky-The rains Of the
last thirty-six hours have sent Ken
lucky river about the high water
mark, and the river is full of logs from
above. The big railroad bridge is
threatened and the tenement houses
along the bank are flooded.
Richmond, Ky.-The heavy rains
have caused great damage out in the
country, the flood being the worst for
fifteen years. The large dam at Whites
mill has been swept away; thousands
Of fodder shocks have been ruined.

CHURCH VICTORY.
Late Returns Change the Result Of
the Manitoba Election.

WINNIPEG, Man., Feb. 22.-The re-
turns from the remote rural districts
of ST. BOniface, which were not to
hand until o'clock this morning have
completely changed the aspect of the
result. All the calculations of shrewd
politicians seem so far to have been
upset, and the claim of the Laurier-
Greenway party Of a moral victory on
the parochial school settlement was al
together too premature. The rural dis
tricts seem to have gone almost solid
ly for Archbishop Langevin's candi-
date. The church, with all returns in,
seem to have achieved an unqualified
victory. LauZon has between 108 and
ITO majority, in a total vote cast of
about 600. In Canadian elections, if
the defeated candidate does not re-
ceive one-half the number of votes cast
for his opponent, he loses his cash de-
post This ignominy was only escaped
by the government candidate by few
votes Archbishop Langevin declares
himself as well satisfied with the re-
suit, as showing Roman Catholic SEN
timent to be hostile to the plan of
settlement.

When paper money banks have con-
troll they can raise and depress prices,
byexpandingandc conlrac ing the volume
OF the circulation. In this way all is
uncertain, and value and business are at
the mercy of the banks that control the
currency. If we are to have paper
money, let the government continue the
greenbaCks and silver certificates. The
people are satisfied with these and these
are not liable to the evils and risks at.
tending bank paper. The failure OF four
banks the other day is another warning.
The history of this country shows how
paper money banks can disregard law
with impuuity, national banks not ex.
Cepted. In 1898 the banks of the
larger reserve cities refused to honor in
money United States drafts upon them,
but instead issued clearing house due
bills, which we're at a discount. Silver
coin then was in demand, and above
par, rating at SlO3. These clearing
house due bills we're issued without
authority OF law, and the comptroller Of
the currency, had be done his duty
would have held them accountable.
But we have not been having such comp.
trollers.

ing the entire bonded debt Of the coun.
try, to be increased four or FIVE hundred
millions by the retirement of tie green
backs, payable, principal and interest,
in gold. He proposed to put this coun-
try irrevocably on gold basis by
changing nearly thousand millions Of
coin bonds outstanding to gold bond
This was the message the administration
sent to England at time when Senator
Wolcott Gays The administration com
mission abroad had fair chance Of sue
cess in the preliminary negotiations me-
cessary to re-establish the bimetalliC
basis.
This looks like bad faith on the part
of the administration. But, no doubt
the whole matter will be ventilated in
congress. The forces that put this ad.
ministration into power are ready with
any treachery to prevent bimetallism
An exchange says on this point:
"No one credits President Mckinley
with fixed opinions on anything unless
1t is that the foreigner pays the tax"
His contradictory course on silver from
the time he voted on free coinage shows
he would fall an easy prey to the gold

ing the efforts of the silver commission
in Europe"

News. Democrat should settle the false
hoods that have been so busily cirCulat-

published repeatedly, and have been

world an astonishing amount of careless
ness about ascertaining and telling the
truth All this time, in which this false
rehash was going on, the five worthy
gentlemen composing the board Of
trustees of the workhouse were made up
OF both political parties, and were fully
cognizant Of everything done. Indeed
the expenditures are wholly in the
hands Of the board and the members are
