BEN'S SARCASM.
Ex-President Harrison Thinks It Pa
triotic toKeep Mum.


New York, April 1.-Ex-President
Harrison, who arrived here yesterday
made the following statement regard
ing his visit to this city:
solely on professional business at the
request of my associate counsel and
without any suggestion from any other
source. 1 do not expect to meet or
confer with anyone5 on any matter re-
lating to public affairs, nor will I give
any interview. relating to the Cuban
matter or any other. No one had been
authorized to express my views, that
work I always do for myself, when
think it needs doing.
'I feel grave and solicitous interest
in our relations with Spain, but I am
not charged with the responsibility of
conducting and would not on any &C
count say or do anything that might
embarraSS those who are. The presi-
dent and congress, will hope continue
in those relations of. confidence and har-
mony that are essential in such a crisis.
1t would be very grievouS and very in
furious if they should fall apart.
Il am sure that 1 can serve my coun-
try best by keeping silent just now and
perhaps others might help in the same
way. 1 shall be in New York for a
week or ten days and shall be busy.
Therefore I ask my newspaper friends
to accept this statement as final and
not to ask for interviews that I cannot
give"

ILLINOIS MINES CLOSE.
Mount Vernon Coal Company Re
fuses to Pay the Springfield Scale.

Mount Vernon, Ill, April loving to
the inability of the operators and oper-
at1ves to agree upon a scale of wages,
the mines here owned by the Mount
Vernon Coal Mining company, will shut
down tomorrow for an indefinite per-
iOd
The Springfield meeting, held last
month, fixed the scale price for these
mines at SO cents, with eight instead of
ten hours work. This price, the man
ayers of the company claim, they can
not pay, and inasmuch as they were not
represented in the Springfield meeting
and did not agree to the wage scale
they claim they are not bound by it's
provisions.
They contend that the company the
past year has been operating the mine
without a cent of profit, and that any
increase in wages would mean a cores
ponding loss to the stockholders. The
directors held a meeting this morning
at the office of Webb & Harris, when it
was decided to adhere to the present
price of 45c.
The miners held a meeting at Katt-
ner's hall this afternoon and unani-
mously voted to stand by the Spring
field scale.
James Boston of the miners execu-
tive committee of the Seventh district,
was present for the purpose of assist
ing in the adjustment of the trouble,
but his mission was a failure, and the
mines will close tomorrow.

DUNKARDS FOR DAKOTAS'
Large Colony From the East Passes
Through Chicago.

Chicago, April 1.-Two thousand
Dunkards passed through Chicago yes
serday under the direction of Max Bass
of the Great Northern railway en- route
to the colonies which he has founded
In North Dakota. Thev arrived on
both special and regular trains from
points in Pennsylvania, West Virginia
Virginia, Maryland. Ohio. Illinois, In
diana, and Michigan all through the
day, and left last night on three spec
ials over the Wisconsin Central. At st.
Paul they will be joined by a thousand
more of their sect, who are on the way
from western states. Their destination
Is the Cando district of North Dakota,
where they will take up government
land for farming purposes.
Between January 1 and October 8,
1897, 2368 claims were filed by these
colonies on North Dakota land, and in
the last four years fully 10000 of them
have removed from the crowded agri-
cultural districts of the central states
to the more open country of the Da-
kotas, where they are able to find land
for their grown up families. They are
taking their customs and their relig-
ious belief with them, and cutting a
settlement for themselves out of the
wilderness.

WOULD VOTE FOR HIM.
Thousands of Republicans Would Sup
port Ingalls, if Nominated by Pop
ulists, Says Harrington

"John J. ingalls, is undoubtedly the
man who should be nominated for con-
gress in the First district by the fusion
lists in this campaign said Grant W.
Harrington, editor of the Kansas Dem
ocrat at Hiawatha, to Journal report
er today. Mr.. Harrington also repre-
SentS the First district as a member of
the Populist state central committee
and came to Topeka to attend the meet
ing of the executive committee last
night.
ingalls,, without exception, is the
greatest advocate and believer in the
principles of Populism in that district.
He has always been friendly to silver
and is one of the few men who are iden-
titled with the opposition who admit
that silver was really demonetized.
II remember during the last presiden-
tial campaign Mr.. Ingalls, came to Hi
awatha to make a speech under the
auspices of the local Republican clubs
and they arranged monster demon
stration for them. ingalls, did not en-
thuSe them, however, because he did
not get up and shout for the ST. Louis
platform. He talked tariff and when
he did refer to the money question it
was in such a manner as indicated that
he felt silver was being worsted in that
platform and by the party which was
sustaining that idea. Republicans left
that meeting with their heads down but
we were glad Ingalls, came" said Mr..
Harrington, because he made votes
for the Populists by that speech.
IF the fusionists would nominate Mr.
ingalls, he would be elected because
there are thousands of Republicans
who would vote for him. The First dis
trict is safely Republican under ordi-
nary circumstances and unless some
thing of this kind is done we need not
figure on accomplishing anything this
year So far as 1 am concerned feel
that we have nothing to lose and every
thing to gain in this matter and 1 am
in favor of nominating Mr.. ingalls,,
without platform if necessary because
he is a platform unto himself
Mr.. Ingalls, himself has not been
heard from in regard to all this talk. A
few days ago he was in Washington.
