Details, which are very meager al
this time, are as follows: For some
time Chadwick has been paying at

and Saturday night he came here from
his home in New Britain to spend
Sunday. A man named Hough. about
thirty years Ord, boarded with the
Smith girls family, and it is said he
has also been paying attention 10 the
young lady.
Chadwick left the Smith house about
1870 o'clock at night on his BIZ

him The next morning a ladder was
found leaning against the window of

called to order by President Frederick
Bader, of Cincinnati, and after ghe
usual addresses of welcome the CON

presented by Secretary H. T. Cellar
Jus, which was in part as follows:
There has been no material change
in the local building and loan associa-
ton situation during the past year.
Money has continued plentiful and as
sociations have, as a rule, been carry
ing large and unprOductive balances.
which have decreased earnings and re-
duced dividends. The business of the
associations was not very active on
account of the light demand for loans.
and the volume of new business was
materially restricted. The associations
have been compelled 10 not only refuse
money rendered them. but have also
in many instances. been required to
resort to enforced Withdrawals in o.

MoRss' ADVICE NOT ACCEPTABLE

Mr. S. f. Morss, editor and proprietor
of the Indianapolis Sentinel, is in danger
of getting into trouble with his party for
offering it advice on the silver question.
Mr. Morss was consul general to Paris
under the Cleveland administration, and
is prominent IN the Democratic party of
Indiana.
Mr. Morss is of the opinion that If sill
yer is made the leading issue in 1900, as il
was in 1896 the Democratic party viii be
defeated, and he took occasion TO say so
in an interview in his paper which is the
leading Democratic organ of Indiana. In
the course of his interview Mr.. Morss
said: ''The financial declaration of 1896
will be repeated. but it win not and should
not form the dominant issue. If 1t does
we cannot win. / say that as a bimetal-
list. I am a free silver man, but l believe
we can do nothing with the currency
question for some lime to come. The Re
publicans will control the Senate prac-
tically, for the next six years, so there
is no hope of any silver legislation in that
time. So long as these conditions prevail
therefore, / don't see anything to be
gained by making an issue of the silver
question"
Mr.. Morss Is of the opinion that the is
sues should be antitrust, ant-militarism,
anti-expansion and tariff reform. With
these issues he believes the Democratic
party would stand an excellent chance
of electlng the next President.
This sort of talk, however, doesn't meet
the approval of many of the Indiana Dem
ocrats, and there is great deal of talk
of starting another Democratic paper in
Indianapolis. Mr.. Morss is virtually tod
that if he wants his paper to be the or
gan of the Democratic party in Indiana
he mustn't say anything against making
silver a leading issue in the next national
campaign. He has some support of course
in the position which he takes, but 1t is
very doubtful if he has the sympathy of
a very large minority. Under the circum-
stances the probabilities are that his pa
per will continue faithful TO the 16 to l
idea, even though he remains convinced
that the party will be defeated If it makes
that idea the chief issue in the presiden-
tial campaign

The card of ex-senator PETER of Kan
sas, in which he states that he has never
announced his purpose TO return to the
Republican party, is characteristic of the
man. The argument he makes shows
that he intends to get back into that
party whether he has announced his in
tention to do so or not He says that
the Popuiist party is only an adjunct of
the Democratic party-that in fact, there
isn't anything left of the Populist party,
It having been swallowed and assimilat-
ed by the Democratic party.
Mr.. PETER then goes on TO say that he
never could have any sympathy with the
aims and purposes of the Democratic
party. that he is such an opponent of that
party that he can be depended to strike
it blow whenever the opportunity for
doing so presents itself. That being the
case, where can Mr.. PETER so except to
the Republican party? 1t was unnecessary
for him to publicly announce through the
newspapers or from the house tops that
he had gone back. bag and baggage, TO
the Republican party. When he made the
statement some time aso that he didn't
approve the doctrines of the Democratic
party, everybody knew that he had made
up his mind to get back into the party
which he deserted when he saw there was
a chance for him TO get an Office by be-
coming a Populist
There isn't any mourning among Demo
Gratis because he didn't FOLLOW the other
Populists into the Democratic party. The
Democratic party is much better off with
out him than it would be with him. He
Joined the Populists because he saw a
chance for an Office and doubtless he
would have preferred the Democratic camp
TO the Republican If he had thought the
chances in Kansas for an Office were bet
ter for Republican. He saw
that the Republicans would likely be in
the majority, and hence he lets il be
known that nothing could tempt him to
herd with the Democrats. AS a matter
of fact he is a back number, and there
is no special reason for wasting time with
him.

VOLUNTEERS FOR TIE PHILIP
PINES

Il seems to be conceded that the Presi-
dent will have to call for volunteers for
the Philippines He has been hoping for
weeks that the Filpinos would throw up
the sponge and accept our terms. 1t is
undoubtedly bitter disappointment to
him TO find that he has been mistaken all
along about The situation In the Philip
pines. And there appears to be ground
for saying that Gen. Otis has underesti-
mated the strength of the insurgents. He
has led the President to believe that with
5000 or 10000 men he could speedily crush
the insurection. So confident was the
President a couple of months ago. that
the end of the instruction was close at
hand. that he sent commission to the
islands for the purpose of agreeing upon
the kind of government the Filipinos
should have until Congress decided upon
a government for them. 1t is pretty GER
tain now that at no time have the real
leaders of the insurrection had any inten-
ton of accepting any terms others than
absolute Independence.
Gen. Otis must have known that the
chances were against crushing the insur-
rection with the force at his command.
He knew that the President didn't want
to send any more troops to the islands if
he could avoid doing so. and, apparently,
Influenced by that knowledge he kept IN
forming the President that he could get
along with $4,000 men. He made mistake
"A mistake which threatens 10 be very
costly one If on the outbreak of hostili-
ties $4,000 men had been sent to Gen. Otis
it is not improbable that the insurgents
would have been overawed by such
display of force, and the war would have
been very short one.
But pointing out mistakes win not put
an end to the war The President should
avoid making the mistake again of un-
derestimating the strength of the enemy.
The very general desire is that the war
shall be fought to a finish quickly. If
100 900 men are needed to establish our au-
thorty in the Philippines they should be
provided and forwarded as rapidly as ii
is possible 10 do so. Officers who have
recently returned from Manila say that it
will take that many soldiers TO pacify the
Islands, and some officers think that be
fore the war is ended as many as 10000
will be required The President will be
criticised and condemned of course for
demanding the Philippines from Spain,
but the people will sustain him in sending
sufficient troops to the Islands to force
the Filipinos to recognize our authority.
When peace is restored they will call the
President and his party to account for the
blunders.
