FREE SILVER ISSUE DEAD.
CROKER SAYS THE PARTY WILL.
NEVER AGAIN IND0RsE 1T.
ola Dead Cry OF 16 10 4 and Make
Ii the Democratic slogan I'm
the Campaign Of Next Year.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Rschard Croker.
in an interview tonight. said: The 10
to question - dead issue. This was
proven conciusiyeIy by the expression OF
the viii Of the people in 1855, when they
elected Mr. Mckinley president OF the
United States
Now the Democrats OF the West and
the other sections Of the country are try
ing TO fo.s; this dead issue upon the DEM
ocratic party and to make the old dead cry
OF Is TO L the Democratic slogan in 1870.
Why should We carry a dead weight in
that campaign? The times OF four years
ago are past. Today the times are differ
ent and the issues are nor the same.
Speaking for this section OF tie country,
I say that If the ID 10 question Is again
brought before the people there Will be
felt again Throughout, the nation the same
distrust that prevailed in 1870
III this silver question comes again be-
fore the people and is made factor in
the national platform. the moneyeo men
Of the East will look for investment out
side this country. and the banks in other
states in the Union will be unable to hor-
row money In the East The result will
be that the poor will be the greatest SUI
ferers.
The free silver issue is merely local
issue In the sections where free silver
will benefit the residents il is but natural
for them 10 declare for Is TO /. How
ever in my opinion the money question
should be settled by congress.
but here in New York We must see to
IL that the position of our party on the
money question must meet the require
ments, not OF one section, but OF every
section of the United States.
When in convention assembled, the ma
iority of the delegates demand a certain
standard or a certain reform. New York
will, as she has. fall fully in line without
a moments hesitation or a murmur OF
protest.
But the Democratic platform OF 1900
has not yet been written"

NEW SYSTEM NEEDED.
President Angel shows Wherein the
University of Michigan Might
he Improved.

Ann Arbor. Nov. 1S.-In his report to
the board Of regents President Angel
startled the adherents of the old sys-
TEN Of college instruction by earnestly
recommending that courses Of instruc-
tion be provided which will fit the COM
ing generation for the wider CONNER
cial life which the country's new cOndi-
tion and place in the business world de-
mands. President Angel wants 10 see
the university prepare men TO take re-
sphnsible positions in the consular and
diplomatic service, international COM
merce and other similar pursuits, and
thinks that such enlargement of work
would render valuable service TO the
country, as well as responding to the
demands of eminent business men
throughout the land.

Grand Jury at Lansing snyestigat-
Ing Serious Allegations Against
Last Legislature.


Lansing, Nov. 20.-The close of the
first weeks session of the grand jury
that is investigating charges of legisla-
tive corruption and bribery leaves no
room TO doubt that il is the purpose of
the jury TO go into the circumstances
surrounding the work of the last legis-
lature i'm general and carefully TO in
vestigate all legislation concerning
which charges of corruption have been
made.
Whether Justly so or not ii cannot be
successfully gainsaid that the last leg
islature acquired reputation for cor
ruption that easily outranked that OF
any of its predecessors. There was not
bill i'm which men with money or cor
porations were interested concerning
which il was not freely and openly
charged that money was used. The
newspapers charged that in the lower
house there was combine which had

measure could be passed or defeated, as
the case might be, il the interests in
volved were such as to make il possible
to exact a consideration. Neither end
of the capitol escaped, the charges be-
ing applied as freely to the senators as
TO the members of the lower house.
Thus far the jury has made a special
ty of the charge that fund of $40, 900
was placed at the disposal of its agent
for the purpose of securing the passage
of measure authorizing the purchase
by the state of complete set of the ma
tional reporting system for each of the
S4 counties of the state. This would
have involved an expenditure of APP
proximately 100000, yet the bill came
Several months ago the agent. Charles
ii. Pratt, of Detroit, had falling out
with Speaker Adams and he told
numerous persons that he had an ar
rangement with Adams whereby the
latter was to have $4,000 in the event of
the scheme going through, while the
remaining $4,000 was placed in the
hands of prominent state official for
use in corraling the required number of
votes.
Speaker Adams declares that the en-
tire story is false, and now Pratt is out
with a statement TO the effect that such
is the case. He says that he had fall
ing out with Adams and made up the
draft story for the purpose of running
him politically. The persons to whom
the drafts were shown and the original
story told have all been before the jury,
but neither of the principals will be
called upon to testify before the middle
of the present week.
There is considerable nervousness on
the part of a number of lobbyists whose
connection with the legislature has
been the subject of much public criti-
cism. and il is expected that several in
dictments will be returned

KILLS A BIG PANTHER.
FerOciOus Beast That Has Terror

st. Joseph, Nov. 20.-For ten years
the farmers in the wild hills - miles
south of this city have been in terror of
an immense panther that devastated
their fiocks and was supposed 10 have
killed and eaten John Croll, who mys-
teriously disappeared while passing
through the hills several years ago.
James Woodward, while hun ting on the
edge of the hills, sighted the panther
devouring a calf it had dragged from a
neighboring pasture. He cautiously
approached, and, slipping an extra
charge of bullets into his gun, managed
to kill the beast at the first shot. The
body of the animal was taken TO Bridge
man, two miles distant. where it Great
ed much excitement. The timber and
shrubbery on the hills has had an undis-
turbed growth Of half century and is
so dense that hunters cannot penetrate
ii, making an ideal hiding place for wild
animals. Ii is believed the pant was
alone. as il has frequently been seen by
farmers, who were aroused in the night
by a raid upon their sheep or cattle.

Detroit. Nov. 20.-A convict's heart
has been touched by the story of a
widows struggle against poverty and
his savings have been used to rescue her
from the grasp of usurious money
lender. Mrs. NJ. j. Thornborough, 2ss
Third street, was forced TO surrender
her position in keenan, q Jahn's furni-
ture store by ill-health. Her step
daughter, Lizzie Irving, who had taken
her place, was killed i'm an elevator ac-
cident, and the poor woman, with view
to reaping a golden harvest during the
Christian Endeavor convention, mort
gagged her household effects for 500 and
4htted up her rooms with the proceeds
Nor visitors who never came. Mrs.
Thornborough had fallen behind in her
payments of six dollars a month i'm in
terest demanded by the money lender
and she stood in danger of being sold
out of house and home and turned with
her little children into the street. An
unknown convict came 10 the woman's
assistance, telling Mrs. Thornborough,
through Chaplain Owick, of the Jack
son penitentiary, that he would charge
her no interest and that she could take
her own time to repay him.

LANDMARK BURNED.
The Gait House at Niles. Oldest Ho-
tel i'm Michigan, Is Destroyed
by Fire.

Niles. Nov. 20-The famous old Gait
house in this city, familiarly known all
over the country some years ago as the
Bond house. was totally destroyed by
fire at an early hour Sunday morning.
The building, which was a four-story
frame structure, was So years old and
was the oldest hotel in Michigan. Many
prominent hotel men of to-day were at
one time managers of the hostelry and
ii has sheltered many noted guests.
The timber for the building was years
ago brought up the St. Joseph river
from st. Joseph. The building has been
unoccuped for several months. 1t was
owned by William Comstock, of Stur-
gis. The loss is $4,000, with no insur-
ance. The fire is supposed to have been
of incendary origin.
