they will want a certain confidence that
the Republican party means to set the cur
rency system OF the country upon a solid
and secure foundation just as soon as it can.
HIS CONCLUSION.
began by saying that I desired to talk
as a Republican to his fellow Republicans
/ conclude by saying that in dealing with
this subject it is the duty of US ALL first
to study the question, to put ourselves in
possession of the truth, each man for him
self; then to communicate his views to
others, strengthen those who are weak, en-
courage those who are timid and bring
the general body of the party up to the
highest intelligent understanding and cour-
ageous purpose that is attainable. Let US
send back TO the President an answer to
the message which he delivered to us by
Senator Fairbanks at our recent confer
ence by telling him that we dare to follow
where he leads.
Having done all that each man to the
best of the ability that is in him, we must
stand together. l have expressed my views
with candor. But 1 shall not be stickler
for any part of the scheme which | have
outlined. We are bound TO believe that aft
due discussion and consideration the
leaders of our party at Washington will
represent what is. in their Judgment the
wisest plan of action for the Republican
party. We are bound to believe that that
programme will follow the principles OF the
St. Louis platform: that it will be for sound
money and the gold standard. In the for
mutation of that plan every one of us has
some influence. The utteranceS of the press,
public discussions, private letters, current
conversation. all contribute to the stream
of influence which flows in from the coun-
try to the capital When our leaders have
decided what the line Of battle shall be
every one of US will have his place in the
ranks We are each of us entitled to have
something to say in the general council of
war but we take our final orders from the
generals in command. We are entitled to
have faith that with Mckinley at head
quarters those orders will be such as we
shall be glad to obey.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd Jan A.-The Maryland
General Assembly, in joint convention, to-
day, took but one ballot. and that resulted
as follows: McComas, 49, German, AZ; Shaw,
II; Findlay, ]. Total, 109 Necessary to a
choice, So. The absentees are all Democrats,
who will be in their seats tomorrow, when
another ballot will be taken. 1t was this
fact that enabled Judge McComas to come
within six votes of being elected, and that
he did not take advantage of the Oppor-
tunity to force matters is taken as an in
dication that he has not yet secured the
votes his friends on Saturday claimed ne
would be able to muster to-day. That the

leaders of the Democrats in the House. de-
clared as much to-day in speeches made in

drew out of the fight to-day and declared
himself unequivocaly for Judge McComas's
election.

QUEER GEYSER IN DAKOTA.
Well That Is SpOuting Clay Instead of
Water PuxzIing GeOIoEists.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Jan. 4.-The
government artesian well at Lower Brule
Indian agency is a freak that is puzzling
the biologists of the Northwest. Original
~ the pressure threw the solid six-inch
stream of water to a height of twenty-one
feet above the top of the well casing. Soon
after the well was completed the pipe would
become choked and at such times the
water would not flow for two or three days
at a time Then without apparent cause the
pipe suddenly would become clear and the
water would again spout to it's former
height. After continuing for a few days,
during which time it almost constantly
spouted large quantities of sand, the water
once more would become choked and cease
to flow. This became so frequent and so
regular that in time the agency author
tiles became accustomed to IL and paid no
particular attention To the freakishness of
the well. which IS constantly under their.

HER CHAIN" SUCCESSFUL.
Young Town SchOOIma'am Secures
Cash and Offers Of Marriage.

ALBA, Ia, Jan. 24.-Miss Rosa Leach. Of
this city. is we'll on her way to success in
the world and all because she conceived the
happy idea of setting a chain in motion
for the collection of pennies wherewith to
buy herself college education. Miss
Leech is the young daughter of Union
veteran, and for the last few years has
supported her father by teaching school.
She is bright and ambitious, and is much
loved and admired by her neighbors. APP
preciating her lack of higher education she
started the chain for pennies The coins
began to come in slowly at first, but pres
entity the newspapers took her up, and then
the money began to pour in upon her in
sums of from one penny up to five-dollar
bills. Two magazines have contracted with
her for articles, and she has had proposals
of marriage from men of all ages in almost
every State in the Union. The young Iowa
school teacher is now assured of her col
lege education. In fact il She desires to
do So she will be enabled to go abroad for
it, or if she prefers, she can have the choice
among hundreds of good men for a hus-
band. 1t is doubtful whether Miss Leech or
her friends are most pleased with her new
found prosperity.

CALIFORNIA; CELEBRATION.
and Their Children
Assisting in the Golden Jubilee.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.-The splendor
of the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of
California which began to-day is not likely
to be surpassed for many years 10 come.
The entire State has gladly responded to
the appeals of the miners, pioneers and ma
tive sons and daughters, and from now until
the close of the carnival week San Fran
cisco will be the Mecca toward which all
travel west of the Rockies will turn. No
line will be drawn at the eastern border,
for from Nevada, Utan and far east as
Denver, men who first founG fortune in the
placers OF California have already returned
here to assist in the exercises commemora-
tive of the fftieth anniversary of the dis
covery OF gold by Marshall, at Coma. near
the old fort erected by General Suffer.
But the participants in this week of gayety
are not confined to the Old-timerS. 1t is the
younger element, the children of the men
of 49, that by their enthusiasm and none
tary plans have assured in advance the
success of one of the most unique and char
acteristc demonstrations ever projected in
any part of the Union.
Jubilee day was heralded by the booming
of the guns at the various forts which line
the shores of the bay at the entrance to
the Golden Gate. The salutes commenced
with a welcome of twenty-one guns from
the big twelve-inch guns at Fort Pointe.
This was followed in quick succession by
the guns at Forts Mason. Alcatra and Angel
island. Punctually at 1880 O'Clock one of
the most interesting parades ever seen in
this State marched through the streets
which We're gaily decorated with flags and
bunting and thronged with people from ev-
cry part of the State. AT least so 900 strang-
ers poured into the city last night and this
morning, and half as many more from the
towns across the bay swelled the crowds
from this city along the line of march.
Market street, from the ferry to Van Ness
avenue, was packed on either side, and that
part Of it in the vicinity of the Baldwin
Hotel where a mammoth arch had been
erected across the street was "A dense mass
of humanity. Every window along the route
were pressed into service by the sightseers.
The parade was divided into fifteen divisions
and it is estimated that there were 5000
men in line. In the afternoon literary ex-
ercises were held in Woodwards Pavilion,
at which appropriate addresses were made.
Native Sons gave ban. The celebration
will continue during the rest of the week.
