Pope Leo Is Said TO Have Inspired an

LONDON, Jan. 15.-The Rome CORE.
spondent of the Daily Chronicle, in a
startling statement, quotes largely
from an article in Civilta Catolica,
which he declares is directly inspired
by the vatican and the pope, advocat-
ing, as to the solution of the eternal
question between the vatican and the
quirinal, the establishment of an
Italian republic. 1t proceeds to
assert that the co-existence of
the vatican and the Italian mon.
archy is impossible, and that one or
the other must go. 1t then suggests
the constitutions of Switzerland and
America as an example of admirable
and glorious constitutions; true union
of nation and state, thoroughly differ.

CLYDE MATTOx FREE.
Pardon Granted Him by tho President

Pardon Granted Him by the President
Through His Mothers Devotion,
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. IA private
dispatch from Mrs. Sadie w. Hatch,
who is at Washington, announces that
President Mckinley has pardoned her
son, Clyde Mattox. This was one OF
the most celebrated cases in che his.
tory of the country, the pathetic
feature being Mrs. Hatch's devotion to
her son. MattoX was convicted in the
federal court at Wichita in September,
1891, of numbering John Mullins, a
negro, in Oklahoma City on the
night of December 12, 1899, and
sentenced to be hanged. The case
was appealed to the supreme
court of the United States, which re-
versed the judgment of the lower court
and remanded the case back for new
trial. At the next trial the jury disa-
greed. Another trial was had, at which
Mattox was again convicted, Federal
Judge Williams again sentenced him
to be hanged, but the case was APP
pealed TO the United States supreme
court, which affirmed the lower court,
the judges standing to 8 against the
boy. Through the intercession of his
mother President Cleveland committed
the sentence to life imprisonment,
Mrs. Hatch never relaxed her efforts
to free her boy, and her estate, valued
at $4,000, was long since exhausted in
his behalf.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-F. j. Berry, the
veteran horse dealer of the stock yards,
says that there will soon be an ex-
IRENE scarcity in all good grades of
horses. Prices are going up rapidly,
and the foreign demand is on the in.
crease. There are nearly 100 foreign
buyers in the Chicago market to-day.
This country exported $4,000 horses to
Europe last year. Poor horses will re.
main drug on the market, Mr.. Berry
says, but good horses will sell for big
prices The bicycle and electricity,
he says, has revolutionized the horse
trade, and he believes that benefit,
rather than injury, will result from it.

MONTGOMERY, ILL.,
AURORA, ILL.,, Jan. IA force of cx-
pert operators two weeks ago began
the work of shearing the $4,000 sheep
at present penned in the yards of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
at Montgomery. The shears used are
operated by steam power, and the
lambs and sheep alike have been shorn
at the rate of nearly 1000 day. The
members of the local humane society
have protested to President Shor-
tall of the Illinois Humane socl.
ETY. against the shearing of the
sheep in winter weather, and Mr..
Shortall notified the shearers that he
would interfere in the matter as vio-
lation of the law relating to the proper
protection of animals from heat or
cold. The sheep men claim that the
animals are kept in warm shed after
being shorn, and are there less than a
week before being shipped to Chicago
for slaughter. They also point to the
fact that the sheep fatten more read

NEW PARTY BORN.
MiddIe-of-the-Road Popullsts from 20
States Meet in st. Louis.
An Address Go tho Country Ipsuod Declar-
ing Against Fusion with Any other
arty-Referendum Favored
National Convention.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 14.--A new party was
born last nightin the conference of the
populists, and named the peoples
party. The peoples party proposes to
go it alone. 1t has severed all connec-
tions with the national populist COM
mittee and made arrangements for adj
ministering on its own estate without
the aid or advice of any outside party.
With few exceptions, the delegates de-
clared themselves unequivocally in
favor of going it alone in the future.
The referendum system was most
highly complimented and recon-
mended for use among the middle-of-
the-roaders in settling matters of ma
tional Importance to the order, and
there was practical agreement among
the delegates that national presiden-
tial convention should be held this
year, The following address was is
sued:
To the People OF the United States:
The fusion movement consummated ut St
Louis In July, 1896, and the inexcusable treat
ment OF our candidate for vice president In the
campaign that followed gave rise to such dis
satisfaction among the rank and file OF the
peoples party as TO threaten the absolute dis
memberment OF the only political organization
honestly contending for the social and political
rights OF the laboring and producing classes Of
the country.
1t has been the purpose always OF the COM
mittee to be courteous to the national commit
tee, and our supreme desire has been at all
times to promote u harmonious corporation
with said committee, that fractional differences
might be obliterated our party prestige rec
gained and our organization restored to It's once
splendid estate. This committee feels conf
dent Of its ability to show that 1t is no fault OF
ours that the national committee is not
present as body but it does not
choose to waste valuable time in
wrangling over questions Of Official etiquette.
We avow 1t to be our sincere purpose, now, as
ever heretofore, to promote In every honorable
way the reform movement on true populistlc
lines, and we deem the issues to be too mo-
mentous and the dangers threatening free gov
eminent too imminent to allow us to pause to
consider personal grievances or affronts, or to
permit wounded dignity, real or imaginary,
to overshadOw patriotic duties
Under present conditions, our beloved organ
ization is slowly but surely disntegrating and
our comrades are clamorous for aggressive
action, Having in vain lmportuned those who
assumed to be our supporters to permit us to
aid them in the grand work OF recognizing the
peoples party that 1t may accomplish its
glorious mission, we now appeal to the people,
the true source OF oil political power.
