GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS
Makes a Speech at the National Mon
etarY Conference.

Omaha, Neb.. Sept 15-The principal
speakers at yesterday afternoons session
of the currency convention were George
Fred Williams Of Boston and Congressman
c. N Fowler of Elizabeth, n. ].
Mr.. Williams was the first to speak. His
conversion to the silver theory he attrib-
uted to a philanthropic reason involved
in what was to him a great question. He

reports of Secretary Dredge of the Eng

made by Minister Meline Of France and
others. Briefly, he said:

IF it is not dishonest to lower prices by

/ is it dishonest to raise prices by legisla-
ton for the relief of the debtor? We are

SO MIR. RIDDLE SAYS.
Makes an Argument to Show Repub.
ican Party Has Abandoned
the Old Soldiers.

Taylor Riddle, chairman of the Pop
ulist state central committee, said to-
day:
1.-The other day the Clay county Re
publican convention passed a resolu-
ton declaring that in congressional
matters they favored a statesman in
preference to a pension agent. 1t was
meant, of course, as a slap at Vincent,
who has been untiring in his labOrs in
securing pensions for deserving old
veterans, while Calderhead has been
just as persistent in ignoring the old
soldiers, even in matters of pOstOfice
appointments.
Senator Harris told me a few days
ago that the opposition to pensions in
the northeastern states, which are the
stronghOlds of the Republican party,
is stronger than in any other part of
the union. He does not attribute it to
any lack of patriotism, however, on
the part of those states, but to their
commercial instinct. The wealth of the
entire nation is being drained into
those states. The pension office re-
distributes a great many millions of
this wealth every year, sending it back
to the west. For this reason the mon
eyed men of the east, who control pub
lie opinion, are opposed to pensions,
and for the same reason the RepubH-
can party has fOrsaken the old sol
der"

Engineer Byron Client of the Santa

of success, and when some time ago he
found that he was to be placed in

an the course of construction he saw the
mead men of the mechanical depart
ment and asked that as a special favor
the engine be numbered 999. This is
now the new compound came to have

number, Engineer Client declares, that

999 came into this city from Emporia
with 999 tons in tow, the heaviest train
that was ever pulled over that piece of
track by one engine.
Talk about lucky numbers" says
Engineer Client, number leaves z

luck is concerned. If it wasn't that
last Friday was the ninth day and this

MAY CONFEDERATE.
The Merchants Federation and the
Commercial Club to Become One.

1t is likely that the Merchants Fed
Grafton, in itself a strong organization
of business men, will be consolidated
with the Commercial club IN the near
future. The preliminary step was taken
at the club meeting last night, and at
the next meeting some definite action
will probably result. In bringing the
matter before the club last night, Sec
rotary Anderson said, 1.-The matter Of
consolidating the Merchants Fedora
ton with the Commercial club has been
talked of for some time, and think
it should be referred to a committee
composed of mem berS of both Organiza-
lions. I believe that to have success
full business organization in a city of
this size we should have every business
man in the town banded together, and
for this reason think the consolidation
would be a splendid move"
Mr.. Steinberg-I am member of the
federation as well as the club, and if
arrangements could be made I would
like to see this consolidation brought
about I believe the objects of the
federation are somewhat different from
those of the Commercial club, but be-
lieve that any differences that there
may be could be satisfactorily adjusted.
I am in favor of committees being APP
pointed for conference.
Mr.. Greenwald-I am in favor of any
thing that will benefit the Commercial
club as an organization, and for this
reason am in favor of the cOnsOlida-
ton of the federation with the club.
Mr.. Billard-I think as far as the
commercial interests of the city are
concerned the objects of both organiza-
lions are the same, and believe a sat
isfactory consolidation could be made.
Mr. Brigham-Has the federation yet
appointed a committee for conference,
Mr. Newland2
Ir Newland-The officers and board
of directors were appointed as a COM
mittee some time ago.
Mr.. Steinberg-I move then, that the
board of directors of the club be ap-
pointed as a committee to confer with
the officers and directors of the fedora
ton. with a view of arranging a consOl-
idation of the two organizations.
The motion carried, and a report will
be made at the next meeting Of the
club.

Thinks $4,000 Sufficient for Beng
Put Off a Train.

Maryville, Mo, Sept. 15.-Wm. King,
colored, has brought suit against the
Kansas City, st. Joseph & Council
Bluffs railway for 81, GOO damages. King
went to ST. Joseph on the 24th ult- to
attend an eX-slave's convention, and
was the Oldest ex-slave there. While
in the city he had better time than his
means justified, and lost the return cou-
pom of his ticket. When the conductor
called on him he was unable to produce
either cOl1pon or cash He was accord
ingly unceremoniously put off the train.
He alleges that the night was dark,
that he was far frem a dwelling or de-
pot. and that he erawled back three
miles on his hands and knees, all the
time fearing that he would fall through
a trestle and be killed, or meet with
some other mishap in the darkness he
reached the ST. Joseph water works
plant and stayed there all night.
