BLACKBALLED.
Major John NJ. Bittinger of st.
Joseph Mo.
Consul General of the United
States to Montreal
REFUSED ADMISSION
To the ST. James Club, Lead
- - ing Social Organization.
Fifty BlackballS Were Cast
Against Him.
REFUSED ADMISSION
1t is Alleged as a Reason That
He Talked Too Much.

Montreal, Jan. limited States Consul
General John NJ. Bittfnger was last night
blackballed by the st. James club, the
leading social organization of this city,
which numbers among it's members the
present and past encouragement of
Canada, many prominent Canadians and
the principal citizens of Montreal. 1t is
said that no less than fifty blackballs
were cast against the election of the rep
resentative of the United States govern
ment
Colonel Knapp of New York and W. A.
Anderson of Wisconsin, Mr.. Bittingers
predecessors, were honored and esteemed
members of the club.
Mr.. Bittinger's defeat was undoubtedly
brought about by an article published in
a Chicago paper week ago last Sunday,
which was telegraphed to and published
in full by the local newspapers. In the
article mentioned Mr.. Bittinger was made
to say that the French Canadian citizens
of Quebec were forming secret societies
and arranging for an outbreak looking to
the independence of Canada.
When Mr.. Bittinger's name was first
mentioned for consul general his political
opponents in Missouri flooded the news
papers here with articles derogatory to
his character. These articles also con-
tributed to last nights votes in the club.

A YANKEETO YANKEES
Senator Chandler Trying to Open the
Eyes of Down casters.

Concord, N. H, Jan. THE Evening
Monitor, Senator Chambers paper. con-
tains the following as a leader tonight
under the caption: THE reduction of
wages is caused by the gold standard
Work for silver money, says Senator
Chandler"
"A good New Years resolve for Re
pubIlcanS is to demand and during 1893
struggle for bimetallism. Every man
who works for wages should fight
money which is the most potent cause
of the recent reduction in wages made
in all the factories of New England
The characterization of silver and the
consequent appreciation of gold, which
measures values, have contributed to
so reduce the prices of commodities
that goods which would once have
brought the producer 500 now bring
him only $50.
This is a world wide condition, where
gold prices prevail, and because man
ufacturerS cannot get the old prices
for goods they say they cannot pay the
old prices for labor. But if it had not
been for the decentralization of silver,
the wages of labor everywhere in re-
cent years would have been risen, be-
cause each labOrer has been able, year
by year, to create a large product, and
he has therefore been entitled to larger
wages as his share of that product
This legitimate rise in wages the adop-
ton of the gold standard has prevent
ed, and instead of a rise, comes a fall.
Here is the whole case in a nutshell,
and it is tmpregnable. The unanimous
vote of organized labor in America and
Europe is therefore against the single
gold standard and in favor of the re-
storation of silver to it's old position as
standard money.
American labor now has a protect
i've tariff. Let all Republicans fight to
keep the greenbacks in circulation and
to get rid of slavery to the gold men,
who are trying to drive out of use
the silver money of the wage earners
of the world. VIM. CHANDLER -

IGNATIUS IN LOVE.
DOnnelIy, the Minnesota Writer,
Tells Why He is to Marry
Young Bride.

st. Paul, Jan. 7.-Editor of the Tribune:
You ask me if it is true, as reported, that
I am about to marry lady, Miss Marion
Olive Hansen, who has acted as my type
writer. I answer, yes.
About three years ago she began to
work for me in the office OF the newspa-
per of which I am publisher and editor
She subsequently entered my household
and assisted me for year in my editorial
and literary work. I found her hand
some, gentle amfable, heightened honor
able, intelligent and of the highest moral
character. She was born in Norway p
years ago of a family once very wealthy,
but reduced by the good nature of its
head through indorsing for friends to pow
erty, which drove the children and grand
children to America, where they have had
for years a hard struggle with adverse
fate. The young lady's poverty was to
me not a disqualification. 1t rather en-
more regard for those women who had to
support themselves than for those who
were handled in the idle lap of luxury.
Furthermore, while proud of my Irish
blood, I regard the great Scandinavian
race as the purest representative of the
great Aryan stock. to which all the peo-
pie of Europe belong. They are the
mother race of the fair-haired and blue
eyed inhabitants of the world by what
ever local rame they may be called.
1 am very proud of the fact that after
I had passed middle life young lady of
prominent goodness and many accomp-
lishments could see enough in me to in
duce her to link her destiny with mine.
This is my answer to your inquiries.

ecTAXPAYER" A NUISANCE
In More Ways Than in Writing to the
NEWSPAPERS.

A. A. Hoag of BrOOkville, Kan, ex-
plains in a letter to the state depart
ment that he ''has been unfortunate
enough to be elected as a, member of a
school district board" and is COM
PEELED to appeal to the state depart
ment for a decision concerning a spir-
tied controversy which exists in the
district. Mr.. HOag says:
I find it set forth in the statutes that
the school district board shall have the
care and keeping of the school house
and other property belonging to the
district and that they are authorized to
open the school house for the use OF
religious, POLITICAL literary, scientific,
mechanical or agricultural societies
I'VE have in our district well or
ganized and web conducted literary
society which has been running for five
years, and we have one single individ-
uaI TAXPAYER who threatens to begin d
law suit against the district if the
board does not refuse to allow this So
ciety the use of the district coal This
is also accompanied with an insinuat-
ing threat that even if arrangements
are satisfactorily made with regard to
the coal he will sue the society for
the use of district stove.
He bases his claims on the fact that
he is compelled to pay an extra amount
of tax, and at the same time admits
that it does not amount to cents per
wear, and adds that it makes a differ
ence in principle if it amounts to but
one cent a year. He does this in the
cietv stands ready and willing to pay
him in cash a reasonable equivalent in
advance for all he is out on the coal,
but he refuses to accept it. It can be
nroven that all he is doing this for is
spite"

the White House in 1900, would be for
the Republican party to be recreant to
it's trust and to slap in the face those
who believed in an honestly conducted
service. Without desiring in any way
to reflect upon the present occupant of
the White House, Mr.. johnson said he
was convinced that there could be no
genuine civil service reform until by
constitutional amendment the president
was made ineligible for reelection. As
long as he was eligible for re- election,
he must necessarily be more or less
under the domination of machine poll
tics. After expressing his confidence
in President Mckinley, Mr.. johnson
concluded with an eloquent appeal to
him to stand by the principle upon the
perpetulty of which the permanence
of our institutions depended
Mr.. Johnson was given an enthusi-
astlc demonstration of approval when
he concluded

WOMAN AS A JUSTICE.
Suburb of Chicago May Have Wom-
an on the Bench.


Chicago, Jan. 7.-Evanston has a woman
who wants to be a justice of the peace.
She is Mrs. Franc Finch, widow of John
Finch, the celebrated temperance lee
Fturer. A desire to see blind pig keepers
properly punished has brought Mrs Finch
into the political arena. Next spring she
will be a candidate for the one justiceship
which is not now filled. Last spring five
justices were elected in Evanston for
terms of four years. A short time ago
Justice Van Pettem moved away. and it is
this vacancy that Mrs. Finch would fill.
The office of justice of the peace is one
of the most sought after in Evanston.
There are always five candidates for each
position. Since there will be only one
Justice elected next spring, the fight will
be doubly hard. Several men have al
ready declared themselves candidates, but
this does not deter the Evanston women
from pushing their candidate into the
contest. Mrs. Finch will run on a strictly
independent ticket 1t will be woman's
ticket and will be the first one that
Evanston voters have ever been called up
on to support.
Prominent citizens look upon Mrs.
Ffnch's candidacy with favor. A ma
jority of the best people of the suburb
would probably vote for her, and the only
element which may oppose her election
viii be that of the contemporaries men.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Diges-
ton Means, Make Test of
Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indiana
polls Gentleman.

Interesting Experience of an Indiana
polls Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies; the real seat of
the mischief is lost sight of; the stom-
ach is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irreg-
ular; in others the kidneys are affect
ed; in others the bowels are constipat-
ed, with headaches; still others ara
troubled with loss of flesh and appetite
with accumulation of gas, sour risings
and heartburn.
Mr. A w. Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "a motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines re-
garding the new and valuable med1-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1
have been a sufferer from nervous dys-
pepsia for the last four years; have
used various patent medicines and 9TH
er remedies without any favorable re-
suit. They sometimes gave temporary
relief until the effects of the medicine
wore off I attributed this to my seden-
tary habits, being a bookkeeper with
little physical exercise, but I am glad
to state that the tablets have overcome
all these obstacles, for have gained in
flesh sleep better and am better in eV-
cry way The above is written not for
notoriety, but is based on actual fact"
Respectfully yours,
A w SHARPER
81 Prospect Street, Indianapolis, Ind.
1t is safe to say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets viii cure any stomach
weakness or disease except cancer of
