Director of the Mint Removed,

the declaration of Secretary Gage that

faction among those Republicans in
Congress who have been declaring
that the President was not in favor Of
the gold standard. Those men whose
sentiments were reflected by Mr.
Walcott's recent speech in the Senate
in which Secretary Gage and Mr.
Preston were criticised, feel that Mr.
Preston's displacement is vindica-
ton of their contention that the Presi-
dent was not in sympathy with the
proposition to Commit the country
more thoroughly to the gold stand.

tary Gage on Tuesday night, with
reference to international bimetallism
is compliance with the wishes of the

President is determined npon policy

DECIDE NOW.

If the taxpayers Of Montgomery
county should ask our opinion as
to what they should do in regard
to subscribing the amount asked
for by the Black Diamond Railway
Co, we would advise every man
to make a subscription. 1t looks
very much like the road is going
to be constructed, and the SI2, 500
we are asked for is small amount
in consideration of the amount OF
business it would return. In
the construction of the road alone
we would more than reimburse
ourselves. Our taxable property
would be greatly increased there
by, reducing the tax rate, and by
reason Of it being competing line
we would receive greater benefits.
More than this: the development
of the country through which it
passes would bring into the mar
kets millions Of dollars. Certainly
the Black Diamond is great road.
We want it, but can't get it unless
we put up a reasonable amount,
hence the necessity Of prompt &C
ton. Again, Col. Boone cannot
wait on our people forever, for the
projectors have other points they
must needs visit, The opportun-
ity is before our people now.
Had not the people better act lest
the proposition be withdrawn ?

ASKED TO RESIGN.

On Thursday the Kentucky
House of Representatives, by a
vote of S to IS, adopted the
Saunders resolution asking U. ,.
Senator Lindsay to resign. The
Senator's financial views and his
work and voting in the last Presi-
dental campaign were not accept
able to Democrats. Their disaP-
proval of his course has thus been
shown. The Senator will, we
suppose, continue in office until
the expiration Of his term, al
though he must feel somewhat
keenly his thrust. His support OF
the Teller resolution in the y. ,,
Senate on Friday may place him
in a more favorable light. In CON-
mentins on the action Of the
House, Senator Lindsay says he
is not the agent of this Kentucky
Legislature.
On Friday the House resolution
was introduced in the Senate and
Mr.. Bronston moved that it be ia
ken up at once. The resolution
was adopted by vote Of IS to 10.
Senator Johnson, Of Lawrence
county, was the only Democrat
voting against the resolution.
Senator Alexander at first voted
"no," but he changed after Sena-
tor Jones (Rep.) made a defense
of Senator Lindsay.
Both branches ofthe Legislature
have demanded the Senator's re-
signation. The action of this body
we take it, is time lost, for the
Senator knows a good fat lazy job.
He loves it for what of meat and
drink he can get out of it, and
don't care a fig for those who
made him great. Senator Lindsay
is a blusterer who hasa ccom-
plished little or nothing in the way
of introducing new and beneficial
methods; has just had good lazy
time, boltin the policy Of the men
who gave him power, and hence
the necessity Of the sound thresh
ing given him by the Democracy.
1t may not improve the hayward
overgrown now, but it will be
a lesson he will never forget as he
goes back to his Frankfort home
and sinks beneath political skums
and forever rests on the bed Of his
own making, endless in oblivion.

The government engineers had been
unable to recover the mines and the
torpedoes from shore by means Of the
cables to which they were attached,
owing to the fact that the sand in the
river had weighted them down and
caused the cables to part. On this ac-
count crew was ordered down on the
Meigs to graDp!e for the mines and
bring them to the surface. The crew
had almost completed the work when
the accident occurred. There were six
men hurled into the Mississippi who
never came to the surface. Three
others were thrown into the river but

strewed the field.
The bravery Of the dervishes can
hardly be overestimated. Those who
carried the flags struggled to within a
+ few hundred yards of our fighting line,
while the mounted emlrs absolutely
threw their lives away in bold charges.
When the dervishes withdrew behind
Che ridge in front of their camp the
whole force marched in battaions to-

the SOudanese on our right came into

Now York's Many Heat Victims,

New York, Sept Sup to midnight
there had been reported to police head
quarters As deaths and 50 prostrations
from the heat. AS a general thing it
has been noted that not so many people
during a heated spell are killed or pros
trated by the heat on Sunday as on q
week day. The reason for this is that
there Is always great exodus on Sum
day to seashore or country. Yesterday
everything that floated carried a crowd
of humanity and the trains. cable and
trolley cars and other modes of loco
motion were jammcd with people all
day long. The records for crowds to
Coney Island and Rockaway Beach
were broken. The average tempera-
ture for the day was so, but the heat
was heightened by the humidity, which
was so per cent all day long. On Sat
urday there were so deaths and over
q hundred prOstrations.
