PALACE CAR FOR M,KINLEY.
Luxuriantly Appointed Special to be Pro-
yided the New President for His In
augurai Journey TO Washington.

CANTON, o., Feb. 7.-President-elect
Mckinley will go from Canton Wash
ington in remarkable car. It is a
private car without q name, save that
it is known all over the Panhandle sys-
tenn as "No. So This car is not only
luxurious in its appointments, but re-
markedly unique in it, construction.
1t belongs to John F. Miller, general
superintendent of the Panhandle lines
west Of Pittsburg. He had the car
built to suit his own peculiar ideas, and
its rolls along to-day perhaps the safest
and most ingeniously put-up travelling
palace known to the railroad world.
Some years ago Mr.. Miller conceived
the idea Of building private car which
would be as near proof against accident
as possible. For years he meditated on
plans, improvements and suggestions,
until at last he embodied them all in
private car "No. 49," 1t took thirteen
months to build the car, but that is no
reason why 1t should be considered I'M
lucky.
The walls are Of white oak, planked
solid; instead of the usual studding. II
it should roll down an embankment
the sides would not break and it would
resist almost any kind OF a shock in a
collision. The top Is double frame
work of steel and the ceiling is thor
oughly cushioned. II the car, there
fore, rolls over and over, those inside
would not be seriously bruised. The
floor is four thicknesses Of heavy white
oak. In fact, the entire car is huge
indestructible box.
The interior arrangement is some
what similar to that Of other private
cars, and Of course is especially adapt
ed 10 observation and inspection. 1t il
a business car, used by Mr.. Miller in
his railroad work, but as generous
good fellow he uses IL great deal for
the pleasure trips of himself and
friends. The chief luxury Of the in.
terror is the perfect arrangement Of
everything pertaining TO human com.
fort. Likewise the trucks were Sc.
lected after months OF experiment 50
as to prevent swaying and joltlng. Al
though heated by steam, 1t has also an
old-fashioned log fireplace in which
only hickory wood is burned. There
are window seats throughout the car
and the lighting is with movable gas
jets in every convenient place. There
are two palatial bedroom apartments
with brass bedsteads in each and bath

II is useless TO say that the furniture,

It is in this car, noted principally Tor
its safety, that the coming ruler OF the
United States will make the most event

an invalid, and his mother, being very
aged, President-elect Mckinley is very
fortunate in having this particular car
offered him for the trip, and thereby
hangs a tale.

Idaho's New Senator.

In the course Of an article, the New
York Evening Post includes the fol-
lowing:
The feeling against the present sys-
TEN OF eIecting United States Senators
has been strengthened in Idaho by the
result Of the recent deadlock in the
Legislature. The high Office has been
given TO a man who is, but for the seri-
business Of the matter. ludicrously unfit
for il, who had not been suggested or
thought Of as q possible candidate for
the place during the campaign last fall
and who would never have been pre-
sented TO the people By any party as its
choice for the position. Intrigues
among small number OF legislators
brought about q result that never con-
templated as within the range Of possi-
bility By the people who elected those
Legislators.
No explanation up to date has been
given of how il was that the new Sem
ator was elected in Idaho, except that
money was used Unfortunately at the
capital during the lastfew days prior to
the election. If such money was used,
| IL must have come from tDe NaLlODal
committee, and must have come with
instructions 70 elect any one TO beat Du-
bois. II what we hear Of the new SEN
ator is correct, his friends ought to
gather around him and explain to him
that If he knew where he was going,
in what position he would be placed
he would resign. Some friends ought
to adyise him to slip quietly away e
Washington and to watch the Senate
Of the United States few days from
the gallery, and then TO think what hi;
position would be on the floor for 81,
years, because, If he has any sensibil
tiles at all, that would make him re
sign.-St. Lake Tribune.

REORGANIZATION.

The Democratic party will enter the
coming campaign completely and in
vincibly re-organized. II Is said that
One-half or more of the state commit
tee strongly favor the proposition and
desire a meeting to be called shortly
after the adjournment OF the legisla-
ture. a large majority Of the rank
and file also favor il. The sooner the
good work is commenced the better It
win be for the new Democratic party.
On this subject the Ketchum Keystone
says:
Following in the wake Of Senator
Dubois defeat, movement has been
inauguratcd TO form new Democratic
party in Idaho, composed Of Boise

SOUTH OMAHA BUSINESS METHODS.
Firm Of Idaho Cattle shippers Sell Their
Cattle, but Get No Money.

Cattle shippers viii learn a valuable |
lesson from the experience of C. W.
Moore and T. 81. Hutchins, whose case
against the Union Stock Yards Ma
tional Bank, of Omaha, was argued
lately before the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals.
Moore * Hutchins are partners and
live in Idaho, where they are engaged
in stock raising.
On July Is, 1895. they shipped six
teen carloads OF cattle to the stock
yards at South Omaha, Mr.. Hutchins,
one Of the partners, accompanying the
shipment. The cattle arrived al the
yards August /, and, owing TO rule
existing there, could not be sold or
offered for sale except through one of
the commission merchants doing bust
ness at the yards. Accordingly Mr..
Hutchins turned the cattle over to the
Wagoner-Birney company, a corpora
ton, engaged in the live stock commits
sion business
The cattle were sold before o'clock
on the day Of their arrival and at ADD
the proceeds were deposited by the COM
mission company in the Union Stock
Yards National Bank.
On the morning Of the next day the
commission company drew its check
s11, 7I3.o3. the proceeds Of the sale,
less commission, yardage and freight,
but the bank refused TO pay, alleging
that it had appropriated the amount Of
the deposit made the evening before
by the company to liquidation Of GER
tain debts due from the company 70 the
bank. The bank still retains the
money and hence the suit.
The case was tried in the United
States Circuit Court for the district OF
Nebraska, and the court held that the
bank, receiving the money knowing il
was the property of Moore & Hutchins,
that holds in trust for them and they
are entitled TO recover it with interest
Judgment was given them for the
amount found due and from this judg
ment the bank appeals.-Republic.

silver and Wheat Prices,

There is never much gain in thresh-
ing over old straw, and it is all the
more proftlesS in contrast with the
threshing of the new straw now in
progress in the Western prairies.
Still, the fact might as well be again
placed upon record, that while the
price Of wheat has been steadily ad-
vancing, the price of silver has been
just as steadily declining. Yesterday
the London quotation on bar silver
was 26S pence per ouncee, which is
the lowest on record. Silver is Al
pence an ounce below the price Of a
year ago; wheat is Is! cents a bushel
higher. This is one more proof that
supply and demand, and not some
mysterious affiliatiOn between silver
and wheat, regulates the price of com
modities. The cable states that in
entire absence of demand for the
white metal, as India is obtaining her
supplies from China. At the same
time cables report an extraordinary
demand for wheat not only in Eng
land, but in countries which usually
have a surplus for export. Silver is
an important eXportabIe commodity
of the United States, and as such
this country naturally desires to get
n GOOD pripp for il bpcaICn il incraa soc
by just so much the favorable trade
balance; but neither a one-sided de
sire nor legislation can permanently
affect the price Of any commodity.
Those interested in a sound currency
will regard it as a fortunate circum-
stance that events have again dem
onstrated the falsity of one Of the pet
arguments OF the free silver faction

Baltimore sun, July 20.
A little more than q wear ago. on
June 10, 1896, the democracy Of Mary
land, in State convention assembled,
Senator Arthur p German presid-
ing, adopted a platform which, in no
uncertain or ambiguous terms, declar-
ed the sentiments of the party in this
State upon the then pressing tnan-
cial or monetary question. The con
ventiOn met, as it met yesterday, in
FOrd's Opera House, in this city, and
the resolutions to which we refer
were adopted after debate and by a
vote of 81 to 30! upon the silver ques-
ton. The platform declared that
"Ordinarily, in advance of the assem-
bling Of the representatives of the
whole party in national convention,
the framing of the declaration of
party principles might well be left to
them, but the Overshadowing impOr-
tance at this time of the financial
question makes it incumbent upon us
to speak with no uncertain sound
upon this subject i'll order that the
deliberate views of our people may
exert the just influence to which they
are entitled, and our delegates may
be encouraged and strengthened in
strenuously advocating their adop-
ton as part of our PLATFORM.
After this earnest and emphatic
preamble the platform proceeded:
Believing that the true interest of
the people requires that the earnings
OF agriculture and trade and the
wages OF labor should be paid in mon
ely that is intrisically worth in all the
markets of the world what it purports
to be worth we demand the main
tenance of the existing gold standard
of value, and, further, that the gov
eminent shall keep all its obligations
at all times redeemable and payable
in money of the greatest intrinsic
value and of the highest standard
adopted by the civilized nations of the
world, and, we therefore, resolutely
oppose the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio of 1G to -
This was a clean-cut and explicit
statement of what was declared to be
1.-The deliberate views of our people,
not simply in opposition to 1.-The free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 1G to 1, but in favor of ''the
maintenance of the existing gold stan
dard of value" The form of such a
declaration could hardly be consider
ed as weakened, but if anything
strengthened by what followed:
1.-The safety of the masses of the
people can only be found in a sound
and honest currency, and it is because
we perceive that the hope of relief
held up to them by the advocates of

The general rule that adversely
brings those having differences of
opinion more closely together does
not seem to work in the case of the
Democrats and PopuIists Although
they were thoroughly defeated in the
last fall election, they go on quarrel
ing among themselves more vigor-
ously than ever. 1t is now quite
apparent that the Populist party is
completely torn asunder with no
prospect of reunion. The Democratic
party is not only torn asunder but
absolutely into fragments. The gold
wing of the party is making such
strides in its organization and capture
ofmen who cO-operated with the silver
wing last fall as to strike terror to
the hearts of Chairman Jones and his
followers, while the protection ele-
ment of the party is gaining strength
and courage every day, as shown by
Congressman BaiIey's courageous
speech in the House on the day of
closing the debate on the tariff, when
he declared pointedly and vigorously
against free raw material.

any doubt as to the shortage of for
eign crops, and while some damage
has occurred to the domestic crop by
reason of excessive moisture in the
northwest, the eXportable surplus
of the United States will be fully up
to the average, and what is equally
good is that the price realized will be
above the average of recent years.
The movement of the crop from the
farm has also been more active than
usual, thus increasing railroad traffic
and the earnings of the transporta-
ton companies. The mercantile trade
is also feeling the favorable effects of
these conditions. In a very compre-
hensive article prepared by the Whole
sale Grocer, of Chicago, this week it
was shown that out of the total mum
Der of responses received from iObbers
in reply to a circular issued by that
journal, 20 per cent. reported signs of
definite improvement in twenty
states. The gain III the South was
particularly noticeable. a somewhat
similar inquiry instituted in regard to
the condition of the boot and shoe
and textile trades disclosed increased
| orders and bright prospects.
The activity in the stock market
has been fully maintained throughout
the week. In many instances the best
prices of the year were recorded in,
railroad shares, and the new govern
ment tours were quoted higher than
at any time since their issue. The
only commodities which display a de-
Ginning tendency are silver and petro-
! leum. The latter declined to % cents
| per barrel for the Pennsylvania and
West Virginia product, owing to the
| increased production of the fields in
| the latter State. Silver has declined
to the lowest price on record, and the
demand both at home and abroad is
at minimum. The weakness in the
metal has attracted widespread at
! tention, and its ultimate effect can
not at present be calculated.
Money markets continue abuor-
mally easy at large centers The
bank of Pittsburg, like those of New
York, report the largest aggregate de-
posts ever held, and rates of discounts
are at about the lowest level on rec
ord. One effect of this condition has
been to stimulate investment val
ues. The city of New York offered
S10,000,000 81 gold bonds for sub
scriptiOn during the week and receiv-
ed bids for $2G,00O,OO0 at the highest
premium ever offered for this grade of
security. The exports of gold for the
week were between $4,000, 600 and So
100000, but they had no effect upon
money rates and caused no uneasiness
in financial circles, because the treas
ury reserve remains above S143,O00-
600. Bank exchanges aggregated ST.
043 eco, coo, an increase of 2S.7 per
cent. over the corresponding week
last year. This is the greatest gain
reported for any week this year.
