EVERY voter, be he democrat, pop
ulist or republican, who believes that
the free coinage of silver would bene-
fit the country; who believes that this
should be a government for all the
people and not for the holders of
amassed wealth exclusively; who be.
lieves that honesty and economy
should be practiced in the conducting
OF national, state and county affairs;
every man who is satisfied that the
present state administration hss been
q good one, should feel it his incum
bent duty to give attention to the
coming fall election. Talk with your
neighbore; get them to attend the
township caucus and meetings. and
above all, get them out on election
day. It is your duty as citizen. as
a tax payer, to stand by the men who
have SO faithfully looked after your
interests in the past two years. Tie
republican organization will this year
make the fight of its life. It has
plenty of campaign funds snd will
not hesitate to use those funds in
handling the mercenary and the
floating vote. The cause of financial

iority in this county and state if the

the full vote every man must give the

THE Illinois democratic state con-
vention has Incorporated in it's plat
form a plank favoring the initiative
and referendum. The inspiration of
this plank is a law passed by the last
republican legislature and signed by a
republican governor giving Yerkes a
franchise in Chicago worth millions
of dollars. It was the most gigantic
steal from the people yet perpetrated
By representative body. and it was
found the people wers powsFless in

of this kind, the referendum Is con-
sidered necessary, and it is said the

1.-THE Church of America, which is the
Church of Cod may find itself with

sad. The primate Of America seems to
have abdicated, or perhaps he has
| evacuated; at any rate, the Security
Trust company, which was appointed a
receiver for the Order of Minnehaha.
has been unable to locate It's president
Samuel G. Ginner, since the district
court took action on Insurance Com
missioner Dearth's application,
Mr.. Dearth made application for a
receiver for the Order of the Mime
haha ten days ago, and the district
| court issued an order on the president
requiring him to show cause why q
receiver should not be appointed. as
the insurance commissioner alleged
that things had been run with q loose
hand and money had been appropriated
by dts officers. Mr.. Ginner failed to
appear, and the Security Trust COM
pany was appointed receiver late last
week.
Mr.. Ginner's Office was found by the
ed to take charge of the books and rec
ords Of the order, but the door was Sc
curely locked. Several calls were made,
but Mr.. Ginner was not around. Sat
urday the trust company became sus-
picious and communicated with Insur-
ance Commissioner Dearth. Inquiry at
Mr.. Ginner's usual haunts failed to dis
cover him, and the assistance Of the
elevator man was enlisted, and an en-
trance to the Office was effected. But
nothing that looked like records of
money well spent was to be found. The
safe was securely locked, and it was
presumed that the desired documents
were locked up in that apartment.
The only trace Of Ginner which has
been received since some time last
week was a letter posted in St. Paul
Dec. 6 and delivered Dec. to Mr..
Dearth, assuring that official that
things would be all right. He has not
been seen or heard from since.
Mr.. Ginner previous to his departure
from the city, or his disappearance,
was receiving a great deal Of public
attention. AS the primate of the
Church Of America, he was in hot water
with some Of his newly acquired COM
municants, and later the investigation
made by the insurance commissioner
and the disclosures made by that Off
cial have given Mr.. Ginner a great deal
Of notoriety.
| Mr.. Dearths affidavit, which was pre-
sented in court, charges the officers of
the Order Of the Minnehana with mis-
| appropriating something like $4,000. AS
Ginner was the chief officer Of the cor
poration, it seemed incumbent upon
him to make an accounting.

LONDON, Dec. 12.-The Paris corre-
spondent Of the Daily Mail summarizes
an interview he had last evening with
United States Senator Cushman K.
Davis, Of the United States peace COM
mission, who advocates g. triple alli-
ance between the United States, Great
Britain and Japan. The correspondent
says:
'tMr. Davis declared that American
and British interests in the far East
run quite parallel, and that, therefore,
the two powers should act Jointly.

he said, though blood is thicker than
water, and these arguments should not
be ignored. My theory in favor Of CO.
operation is borne out by the coldest
logic. 1 favor a treaty Of alliance in
cluding the United States, Great Brit
ain and Japan, for the protection Of
all their interests north Of the equator.
The rest of the world would have a
wholesale fear, synomous with respect,
for u.s."
He proceeded to argue that Russia,
Germany and France had secured the
great bulk Of the commercial benefits
in China, to the exclusion of both the
United States and England. He sug-
gested that such a dreibund could have
nothing to fear from any coalition Of
other nations, and that, therefore, it
would tend to preserve the peace.
There are still 500 years Of vigorous
fight in Englandi" said Mr.. Davis,

HAS CAUSED SOME Talk

The action of Secretary Berg has
caused some comment, apart from his
taxing upon himself to ignore the law
on the subject. He had no reason. It
is claimed, to suspect before the bids
were received that he could get the
work done any cheaper this way than
he could by advertising as the law di-
rects. 1t happened to come that way.
which, In the opinion Of Secretary Berg,
and perhaps in the opinion of the pub
hc generally, may be sufficient excuse
for having done so. But the way in
which the bids were opened and the
result have caused talk.
The understanding was that the bids
were to be opened Wednesday after
neon. While representatives of the
firms were on hand, the secretary
wasn't. One of the Office force tele-
phoned to him, and he said he would
open them when he came down next
morning
Next morning happened to be
Thanksgiving, and nobody supposed
that the secretary would appear at the
capitol that day, as it was announced
| and understood that the capitol would
be closed. None Of the interested firms
went near the building, but Secretary
Berg did. With nobody to bother him
or cause him to make any mistakes. he
opened the bids himself and the next
| day, when the interested parties began
10 make Inquiries, the office announced
to those inquiring about it that the
Pioneer Press had been awarded the
| contract

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE war
department has begun in earnest the
replacement Of volunteer troops now
stationed at Manila by regulars. This
morning Secretary Alger signed an or
der designating for this purpose six
regiments of United States infantry out
Of eight held in reserve for service in
sub-tropical countries. The regiments
are the Twentieth, at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kan; the Third, at Fort Smell
ing, Mimi, the Twelfth, at Jefferson
Barracks and Fort Riley, Kan; the
Seventeenth, at Columbus Barracks,
o. the Fourth, at Fort Sheridan, and
the Twenty-second, at Fort Crook, Neb.
They will go forward to Manila as
soon as the transportation can be pro-
viGed. 1t may be that the two regi-
ments, still held In reserve, the Ninth
and Twenty sixth infantry, will join
the others before they sail. These regi-
n,ants were selected in the reverse ratio
to the loss sustained by them in The
Cuban campaign.
The volunteers in Manila will be re-
tired in the order in which they reached
Manila.

HAVANA, Dec. 1.-THE Two Hun
dred and Second New York regiment
began to land at o'clock this morning,
and at 10 o'clock a column about 200
strong marched from the San Jose
wharf to the Christiana station. The
troops were led by Col. Seyburn and
Maj Abbott, the regimental band play
ing simple marching airs. The color
sergeants bore the Stars and Stripes
and the blue and gold banner Of the
state of New York.
The route, which was a mile and a
half long, was the most direct course
from the landing place to the railroad
station, and Gid not pass through the
principal streets.
The regiment arrived at the railway
station at 1890 q. M, and, after some
delay, two trainloads Of troops pulled
out Of the depot Some detachments
Of the regiment are bound for the city
Of Pinar del Rio, about ITO miles from
here. The others will be stationed at
Guanajay and Martel, not far from
here, in the province of Pinar del Rio.
The First North Carolina regiment,
which arrived here yesterday morning,
on the United States transport Rou-
manian, disembarked this morning and
marched through the city with band
Gnd colors to camp at Marianao. By
the time the regiment had reached the
suburb Of Cerro, many hundreds or
men, women and children were follow
ing, all showing deep emotion, the men
embracing one another, the women
weeping from excessive JOY, and the
children shouting endearing names as
the North Caroliniars marched along.
