Colonel Bradley B. Smalley of Burling-
ton, the Vermont member of the demo-
cratic national committee, says: d" am
not yet prepared to say what, in my opin-
ion, should be the battle cry of the demo-
Gratis in the coming presidential campaign.
I think it unwi,e to build platform this
year on which to stand in 1900, preferring
to wait until that time. 1t may be assumed
with safety, however, that l will not advo-
cate free silver. With the nomination of
Mr.. Bryan on such platform in 1896 l at
once went to Europe, and remained there
until after the election, notwithstanding
the fact that for several previous cam
paigns had been a member of the national
executive committee and had had an
active part in the management of the cam
pain. am at all times gold democrat >

The pension department has discovered
that there are no spinsters among the col
ored ladies of the south they are all appar-
emily relicts Of the negro soldiers killed in
the Spanish-American war, and as such are
presenting startling number of claims for
pensions, which they can obtain by furnish
ing the department with satisfactory
proof of death. When 106 claims fol
widows pensions were presented recently
from one nelghborhood, in which there is E
cemetery where large number of negro
soldiers are buried, suspicion was aroused
in the minds of the examiners and an in
vestigation begun. A clue to what looked
like fraudulent proceedings was at last OBJ
tanned, and one of the claimants was 81
sharply questioned that she became hys
terical and confessed to belonging to
group hired out to act as widows-at-larg'
to corresponding number of colored sol
diers whose bodies lay in the cemetery. 4
cute attorney, who was the originator o
the scheme, had taken the names of tn
unmarried men from the headstones, pro
vided each with suitable widow, obtained
a set o. witnesses from the colored popula
ton and colered preacher to testify t.
their credibility, and in fact had everything
in train to make the dead bachelors in tina
section of some use at least, when the de
partment inconsiderately interfered. Q
the LOG claims presented, 102 were throw
out, the four allowed being strongly su:
pected though no positive evidence coul
be obtained to disprove them.

Moore has notified Z. L. N0-..ace. coun
gel for the saloon men under Indictment
for violating the liquor law, that he had
sustained the demurrer to the indicr-
nents interposed by him on their be-
MALT and would later write a formal
opinion. By this opinion Judge Moore
holds that the dispensary amendment
to the constitution adopted last fall was
selt-ezecuring and thereby repealed the
liquor law then in force: and the failure
Of the Legislature to provide suitable
legislation in conformity with the
amendment leaves the state without
any law regulating the sale Of LIQUORS.
except as the amendment provides for
their sale under the exclusive control Of
the state and handled by its agents.

they will no longer pay county or state
