EX-SENATOR HILL AND SILVER.

The speech which ex-senator Hill dehv-
cred in Carnegie Hail, New York city. on
Wednesday night, makes il very clear that
the Republicans are not sincere in trying
to make the silver issue the maine issue
in New York state. In fact. he showed
very satisfactorily that there is no good
reason for bringing the silver question in
to the campaign in that or any other state
this year. The Republicans are trying to
make the silver question the main issue
IN New York because they want to draw
attention away from local issues partic-
ulary the canal frauds These frauds are
dead weight on their ticket. They can
not be explained away The attempt TO
DO so has only resulted in bringing to light
the extent of them. Until the publication
OF the facts the people did not know how
extensive and outrageous they were. They
show the rottenness of the Republican
party so completely that the Republican
leaders see certain defeat for their ticket
unless they can draw attention away from
them.
It is for the purpose of keeping the canal
that they feel any uneasiness on account
Of the attitude Of the Democratic party on
the silver question that they are making
extraordinary efforts TO have that ques-
ton considered the leading one of the
campaign. 1t is by no means certain that
the silver question win be the chief issue
in the campaign of 1900 In his speech Mr..
Hin pointed out what seems to have been
very generally forgotten by the business
men of the country, viz, that the Repub-
licans at the last session of Congress did
a great deal towards eliminating the sill
yer question from politics. They passed a
law directing the Secretary of the Treas
ury to coin the silver bullion in the treas
ury at the rate of not less than 81, 5O0, 600
a month. At that rate of coinage it win
not take very long to get rid of all the
silver bullion in the treasury, and when
that silver Is put into circulation the de-
mand for free silver coinage is likely to
be much less imperative than 1t is now
AT least that seems to be the opinion of
Mr.. Hill, and it appears to be a very
sound opinion.
The Teller resolution, out of which the
Republicans are trying to make so much
political capital, amounts 10 nothing prac-
tically. 1t simply declares what every
body knows and admits, namely that the
bonds of the government are payable in
either gold or silver coin. 1t doesn't make
any difference to anybody, as Mr.. Hill
points out, whether the bonds are paid in
gold or silver, so long as silver is kept on
a parity with gold. It is apparent that
Mr.. Hill doesn't intend to approve of any
demand that would cause silver to part
company with gold, and it is safe to say
that the Democrats of New York do not
intend to favor any such demand. The Re-
publcans know that they do not. Their
effort, therefore. to conduct the campaign
in that state on the silver question is not
sincere. The people there are rapidly
coming to understand this, and that is one
of the main reasons why the sentiment in
favor of Van Wyck is steadily growing
stronger.

The suggestion has been thrown out, m
connection with the bill by Mr.. McCranie
of Berrien to repeal the 'possum protec-
ton law, that the said law was passed by
way Of providing a defense for the pos
ton, of 'possum supper fame. and that
since that administration has passed out
Of existence the law is no longer needed.
But how does Mr.. McCranie know that
future administration will not turn to the
'possum as a fetching political argument,
just as the late one did? Maybe it would
be better to keep the bars up for while
longer, anyway.

the Philippines is due to-day. The idea
that the Spauiards may break off negotia-

mont az Washington has received informa-
ton from its agents abroad that work on

A Late ReDaratiOr1.

John Corder of Independence, Mo-, re-
ccived from Father Hoog of the Roman
Catholic Church at Jefferson City, check
for 5000 for money lost by Corder over
thirty-two years ago. During the civil
war Corder hid a sum Of money in his
barn on his farm, in Lafayette County.
A company of soldiers occupied the barn,
and after their departure, when Corder
went to look for the money, it was gone.
The money was found by person resad-
ing near Corder's house and he gave part
of the money to another. TWenty-eight
years ago the man who found the money
died. The conscience of the other man
disturbed him to such an extent that he
recently confessed to Father Hoog, and
under the rules Of the church he was re-
quired to return all the money found lie
gave the priest 5000, being the principal
and interest for thirtytwo years. The
names of these men will meyer be known,
because the priest will not divulge them.

conflagration at Louisville.

Picking, drying and steamlng ware
houses of the National Tobacco Company,
situated at Twenty-fourth and Main
streets, Louisville, Ky, were destroyed
by fire. The loss amounts to Sl,OO,oOo,
fully covered by insurance. w. b. Duke
of New York, president of the American
Tobacco Company, Of which the National
Tobacco Company of Louisville is a
branch, witnessed the destruction OF MS
property. He said that it would be at
once rebuilt. The fire was discovered at
8 o'clock in the forenoon on the second
floor of the building, used for drying pur-
poses. Three alarms called the entire de-
partment to the scene, and although the
firemen worked heroically, they could DO
little else than save the property adJoin-
ing, as three big buildings which occupied
nearly the entire square were seen to De
inevitably doomed. From the three-story
drying building the flames spread rapidly
west to the four-story warehouse and east
to the three-story steaming house. In the
building which first caught, 200 hands,
mostly women and children, were employ
ed, but the majority of these escaped safe
iy, only few being slightly Injured, as
did 200 who were at work in the steaming
building. In the four-story warehouse
1000 men were at work, but they mad
plenty of time to escape.

ST. CLAIR SHIP CANAL.
Dominion Government Considering
Proposal to Guarantee Bond.

Dominion Government Considering
Proposal to Guarantee Bond.
A proposal to guarantee the bonds OF
the St. Clair and Erie ship canal is be-
ing considered by the Dominion Govern
ment. A depatation of representative
men from the counties interested, accom-
panied by the several members of parlia-
ment, presented a petition that the petl-
ton of the St. Clair and Erie Ship Canal
Company, asking for a guarantee OF 8
per cent interest for twenty years on an
issue Of $5,50O,0O0 of bonds be granted.
The more important OF the points touched
upon by the delegates were the shorten
ing of the distance between Lake st.
Clair and Lake Erie by seventynlne
miles, which would decrease the sailing
distance, and thus increase the number
of trips In a season; the avoidance of the
dangers and delays Of the Detroit river
route; the lessening of the cost OF trans
ports between Fort William and Lake
Erie, and, locally, the making effectuai
of drainage over very large area of fer
tile land, now only imperfectly drained at
a great cost, and the bringing Of mar
ket equal to that Of large city to the
very doors of the farmers and gardeners.

SPANS LAST CARD.
THE FINAL TRUMP SOON TO BE
PLAYED.
Result of an Important Meeting of
Central Committee of the Autono-
mists-O1ive Branch Held Out-Aid
Asked for the St. Clair Ship Canal.
New Plan Proposed.

At an important meeting of the central
committee of autonomists at Havana,
Senior GOWN, secretary of the interior,
proposed an amendment increasing the
committee from 40 to So. The fifteen new
members will be taken from enigrants to
the United States and insurgents of prom
inence who agree to support autonomy.
The amendment was adopted by large
majority, fifteen among whom were re-
formists. It is regarded as surprising that
a Spanish resident supported the plan.
The committee also nominated delegates
for the election next month. 1t is be-
lieved that the radicals will carry the cleo
ton and demand a more liberal constltu-
ton. The meeting is regarded as the first
political battle of the campaign, and the
results are highly important, because II
the insurgents decline the extended hands
of the autonomists in constitution secur-
ing practical independence, autonomy Will
fail in the eyes of the world and nothing
will remain except the Spanish flag and
what it implies. The query is then, What
will Spain do next?

Charleston IS. c. Dwelling House De-
stroyed-Unab1e to Escape.
Nine lives were lost in q fearful tene-
ment house fire at Charleston, S. G. A
police officer discovered flames issuing
from one Of the windows on the first floor.
The doors were broken open and the
family on that floor was taken out with
out injury Somebody cried out that
number of women were sleeping ON the
third floor. The police ran upstairs, and
when they reached the top story the life
saving work was stopped by the flames,
which seemed to be playing over the en-
tire building. The cries of the imprls-
oned inmates nerved Patrolman Bagley
to brave almost certain death. He wrap
ped his old coat about his head and dash
ed through the wall of flame into the
rooms on the third floor. Cropping about
blindly he stumbled over three bodies.
Again he plunged through the fire bear
ing two of the corpses. When he en-
deavored to return he found the flooring
burned away. Before anything could be
done the joists gave way, carrying down
six persons. The fire was soon under
control and the bodies were recovered.

Remarkable Operation Performed On
Harry Beno at Columbus, Ohio.
Harry Beno of Columbus, O., who has
quite reputation for swallowing poisons,
having needles run into him and doing
various other things that an ordinary man
who wishes to live does not do, was the
victim of a remarkable operation. 1t
was performed by physicians of the Ohio
Medical University, the marvellous fea-
lures being not so much in the operation
as the character and behavior Of the pa
tent. The operation consisted of remoy-
ing, without the aid Of anaesthetics, three
awl points which had broken off In some
former experiments In the skull of the
man. While the operation itself was not
a dangerous one, the fact that it was
made without anaesthetics makes it Won
derful. DR.. Kinsman, in an address to
the students after the operation, said
that it is the first case of the kind that
has ever been reported. Beno claims that
he is totally without the power of feeling
or of sensation. While the physicians
were pounding away on his head with
mallet and %hisel taking out small pieces
of his skull Beno was laughing and jok-
ing with the students.
