Far Apart.
SPLIT OVER THE SILVER MEETING.
Chicago's Mayor Refuses to Deliver the
Address Because of the .sObscuritys Of
the Committee Having the Meeting In

CHICAGO, July 49, Three political de-
velopments are stirring the Democrats
in Chicago. One is the refusal of
Mayor Harrison on account of it's sob
scure' origin to attend and deliver an
address of welcome at the Auditorium
free silver meeting on Thursday night.
The second is a verbal notice that the
Democratic national committee would
be asked to repudiate the Croker Hill
Murphy machine in New York and
recognize the silver crowd, and the
third is the statement that an effort will
be made to have rule adopted that no
man who bolted the Chicago platform
and ticket i'll 1896 shall be eligible to sit
in the national convention of 1900 as a
delegate.
On arriving at his office in the city
hall yesterday Mayor Harrison found
w. d. Coolidge's invitation to make
speech of welcome to the assembled
local and visiting Democrats on Thurs
day night. He declined the proffered
honor and his reasons for doing SO are
set forth in the following answer:
Replying to your favor of the 14th INST.
of welcome at the Auditorium, july 20.
to the National Democratic committee.
and a large number of other prominent
Democrats of America, regret my ina.
bility to accept. In ordinary circumstan.
ces 1 should be only too glad, beth as
mayor of Chicago and as Democrat, to
welcome the national committee or
any number of prominent Democrats
to Chicago, the city in which the plat
form of 1895 was framed and in which w,
j. Bryan was elevated to his present lead.
ership of the national Democracy. can
but think, however, it would be an alb.
surdity to welcome these distinguished
men under the auspices Of self-consti-
tuted committee, whose personnel is too
obscure to be known even in It's home CITY.
Had this meeting been organized under
the direction of Democrats Of the regular
type and known party standing, it would
have afforded me great pleasure to be
present. In the existing circumstances,
while thanking you for the honor, I musi|
beg leave to be excused. Respectfully
yours, CARTER a. HARRISON.
When copy of Mayor Harrison 4
letter was shown Ex-Governor Altgeld,
the latter said: Il am sorry the mayor
looks at it in that way. He has lost a
golden opportunity. Should he come to
the meeting and make rousing Demo
cratic speech he would place himself at
the head of the Democratic party Of the
state, but he has lost the chance now.
I'm sorry for it.
When Mr.. Coolidge read the mayors
letter he said: s'The son of Carter Har.
rison has ceased to be Democratic
possibility"
i Efforts are being made by the Harri.
son leaders to induce as many Of the:
national committeeman as possible to
ignore the meeting. The Altgeld forces
have been reinforced by the Chicago
platform Democrats of New York.

Statement from Armv Chiefs.

SCaueN1ent from Army Chiefs.
WASHINGTON, July ia statement
was prepared at army headquarters YES.
terday and given out for publication
last night:
There has been some discussion in the
press recently relating to an alleged diff
ference of opinion regarding the num-
ber of troops to be sent to the Philip
pine islands in the first instance. I'M
mediately upon receiving the news in
the press dispatches of Dewey's victory
at Manila, General Miles recommended
the dispatch Of military force to the
Philippine islands of approximately
5000 men, and the recommendation was
approved by the president.
Up tothis time no communication had
been received from Admiral Dewey, his
first dispatch, dated May 1, not reach
ing Washington until May Z.
T Deweys dispatch sail: 81 believe
the Spanish governor general will be
obliged to surrender soon. I can take
Manila at any moment. To retain con-
troll of Philippine islands would require,
in my Judgment well equipped force of
5000 men.
On May 1e, 1893. General Miles re.
commended Is, 4e5 men, including vol
unteers from California, Colorado, Kan
sas, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, Utah,
Washington, North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Idaho, Wyoming and Minnesota,
be sent to the islands. The troops des-
ignated numbered over 10000 more
than Admiral Dewey had asked for; but
notwithstanding this it was General
Miles opinion that i'll view of the adj
miral's statement that the Spanish force
was estimated at 10000 men, it would
be advisable for us to have preponder-
ating force.
In the meantime General Merritt had
been selected to command the expedi-
tion for the Philippine islands, and in a
letter to the president, dated May 13,
1898, he submitted an estimate of troops
necessary to constitute such an expedi-
ton, comprising 14,4OO men, of which
number 5000 were regulars.
It thus appears there was no contro-
versy regarding the number of troops to
be sent, General Miles, in fact, having
designated more than General Merritt
called for; but only difference of opin.
ion as to the composition of the force
General Merritt desiring to have more
regulars than were designated by Gen.
'eral Miles.

Christian Endeavor Convention.

The ninth annual convention of
the Virginia State Christian Endeav-
or Union will be held in Trinity
Methodist Episcopal church. South,
Lexington, beginning Thursday
night, November 10th. 1899, and
closing the following Sunday night.
The convention this year was to be
held in Richmond, but on account of
the resignation of the pastor of the
church in which the meetings were
to be held and the church in conse-
quence being for several months
without pastor, it was thought best
to meet in some other town.
The Christian Endeavor society of
Trinity Methodist church extended
an invitation for the convention to
meet in Lexington, and the State
Executive Committee accepted the
invitation. The Lexington society
will have very short time 10 which
to prepare for delegates, but they
cordially invited every society in the
State to be represented at the con-
veMtion. Reduced rates will be Sc
cured on all railroads, and free enter
tainment will be provided for all dele
gates.
The program committee is at work
arranging an excellent program,
Prominent Endeavorers within and
without the State will make ad-
dresses. It is expected that one of
the United Society officers from Bos
ton will be present. Names of speaks
ers will be announced later.-Lexing

Hon. Claude Swanson, it is an
nonnced, will be a. candidate for
Governor of Virginia and in connec~
ton Herewith, it is stated, that
Senator Martin will support him and
that with his powerful support, "
his nomination is assured. In other
words if you want ito get there" in
Virginia the endorsement of Mr..
Martin is all that is necessary; and it
may be all right, in the opinion OF
the Light, for him to have this un-
limited power, but the query is per-
tenent in this connection what has
he ever done to entitle him to it?

will Ride to School This Year.

County Superintendent King. Of
Surry, was at the Department IF
Public Instruction, Richmond recent
ly, and talked at length regarding
the experiments made In his county
last winter of hauling pupils to the
public schools.
Mr.. King said the experiment was
q perfect success. The county schonl
authorities called for bids for the
work The lowest bidder was award :
ed the contract. All winter the GILL
dren were transported to the schools
instead of having to walk. as 10 for,
mer years. The plan will be tried
again this winter.
The Department of Public lnstruc
ton is very deeply interested in the
subject of transporting children to
schools. In the New England States
and in Ohio this scheme has proved
highly successful. 1t is stated in the
official report of school official of
Ohio that in one county of that State
the effect of transporting the pupils
to and from school has been to re-
duce the cost of the schools Of the
county by one half. At the same
time the terms have been Iengtnen-
ed, and number of graded schools
have been established to take tt e
place of common schools. Similar
reports are made by the school ofli
cials of every State where the ex-
pertinent has been tried.
1t Is believed by the Virginia OIL
Gals that the plan would work well
in almost every county of the State.
BY carrying the pupils to school they
are enabled to go much greater dis
lance from home, the number of
schools may be lessened. and those
retained may be made of higher grade
and kept open longer. 1t is very
probable that the children may be
transported to school in several
counties of the State this winter. In
counties where roads are unusually
bad, of course, the scheme cannot be
put in operation. One result Of the
inauguration of the scheme may
therefore, be the building of better
roads.

The interest on the state debt after
January /, 1901, will be at the rate of
8 per cent. The amount necessary to
meet this increase is $4,000. The
Dispatch states that the State has
now nearly half million dollars of
accumulated dividends from the
stock held in the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg. and Potomac Railroad
which is sufficient to pay the increas
ed rate till 1905 by which time it is
hoped that the State will be able to
carry the increased interest.

Our contemporary, the Light, is
right in the conclusion at which it
arrived last week, that there is a
difference in our views as to demo
cracy. The bossism which it advo-
Gates and-apholds has not been and
cannot be accepted as true democracy
by us, nor can we believe that the
people OF Virginia are ready to ac-
cept as masters those who are now
running with the machine in Yir-
GINA or can tolerate long their con-
tinuation in power, if 'by hook or by
crook" they should win in the pres
ent Senatorial contest in Virginia.
A democratic organization that does
not carry out the will of the people
of Virginia deserves to be repudiated
by them and will be. That our
democracy will suffer in declining" to
bend the suppliant knee" to the
bosses, THAT thrift may follow fawn
ing" we decline to believe, despite
the efforts of our contemporary to
convince US to the contrary. If the
Light prefers that kind ofstuff and
calls it democracy we are, at least,
willing for the people to judge be-
tween us.
In regard to the conventions at
Cape Charles, the Light in its utter
ances concerning them shows, that it
is singularly adept in the ways Of the
bosses and of course cannot expect
US to concur in its views. That
neither of the delegates nominated
at Cape Charles were instructed is
not controverted and yet the Light
tells us that in the nomination Of MIR.
Donahoe, Senator Martin scores one
solid vote from Elizabeth City" In
other words the Light seems to have
had collar in readiness for the
nominee from Elizabeth City
and as if speaking by the
authority of the bosses, has informs
ed him through his columns that he
is expected to wear it. That Mr.
Donahoe will accept it and wear it,
however, is quite another question.
1t may be. though, that he will con-
clude that the people have some
rights which he is bound to respect
and if SO disposed as we have reasons
to believe that he is, that he will pre-
fer to listen to the people Of Accomac
which has already spoken through
convention and is daily speaking in
overwhelming numbers in every com
munity in the county in favor of
Tyler, rather than wear the collar of
Boss Martin or anyone else.
It was the way of the bosses too, of
course, to say as orr contemporary
does, even though it is nonsensical'
that the candidate from Northamp
ton, although instructed in primary
goes to the Legislature uninstructed
as he should be, in the Senatorial
question" In other words, that is
right in the opinion of our contem.
porary to disobey the instructions of
the people of Northampton, as they
did not by their votes in expressing
their preference for Governor Tyler
as United States Senator concur in
the views of the bosses.
Martinism, which our contem-
porary seems to Insist upon as a test
of democracy, cannot be accepted as
such without disqualifying the most
of the democratic voters on the
Eastern Shore and with them we de-
cline to let the Light speak for us in
the matter.

postmaster-at Old Point during both
of the Cleveland administrations. He
was IS years of age, and leaves q
widow and five children.
1t is settled that Representative
Swanson will be candidate for gov
ernor. In that event he will receive
the powerful support of Senator
Martin, whose warm friend he has
been in the present senatorial con-
test. Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson will also
run. With Marshall Mccormick, of
Clarke county, in the race the fight
will be one of the most interesting
ever witnessed in Virginia.-Rich-
