IlLLMAN ON TIE DEMOCRACY.
ite Thinks Reorganization Not
Necded-Givos His Idea OF the
Pariy's future.

In reply to an inquiry from the
Cosmographic company OF New York,
the following statement has becn made
by Senator Tillman concerning the
proposed reorganization OF the Demo
cratic party
have your letter Of recent date, in
which you ask What is the future
OF the Democratic party =? Must it DO
recast upon new ines or return TO the
original ones? Where shall the re-
organization begin, etc ,"
The smoke of the recent political
battle has hardly cleared away or suf-
hclent time been given to study the
lull returns OF the election. Enough Is
known to show that the Democratic
party is not dead, nor is it about to die.
Mcklnley's election is attributed to
two causes %venality and Ignorance.
Under the first head wOulG be en-
braced uso OF money lavishly to con.
troll votes; the love OF money above
principle or patriotism, and the CO.
erclon or voters VIII were afraid Of a re-
turn OF hard tires aud loss OF work.
Under the aecond head would be en-
craced u large mass Of ignorant for.
eiRners who have not been assimilated
or become AmericaniHed, who are
ignorant OF our institutions and are
more or less influenced by the ideas
They brought with them from the old
world. a large number OF business
men who thought prosperity was the
result OF McKinley's election, and who
dreaded u panic II Bryan was elected.
Ihese were content to let we'll enough
alone, having an eye solely to the bust
ness aspect rather than the underlying
principles involved in the contest.
They were ignorant and too cOwaruly,
rather than Vcnal.
n DEMOCRATIC party does not need
reorganization. 1t can not be attempt

has been made by the traitors who

to-day says:
Trade advces are as whole cheer

spots still present themselves. s per.
manent feature this week has been
the increase in strength of values OF
farm products, nearly an the cereals
pork products and cotton advancing.
while materials for manufacture and
the products thereof have generally
remained steady or unchanged. The
government report ON quantityof corn
in farmers hands showed smaller
than expected supply and quite an
outbreak of speculative interest oc.
CURED, sympathizcd in by wheat. and
both cereals reached the highest point
touched on the crop of 1899. Liuuida-
ton on the advance brought about
some reaction in prices. growing
wheat crop advices proving rather de-
pressing as n whole and the statistical
position remaining as bearish as
pointed out in these columns last
week. The close finds quotations
above those of a week ago. 1t seems
evident that the weather and the
growing crops will constitute price
making features for some time to
come.
The COTTON goods market has
strengthened and number of adj
vances are reported this week, hut
except at western distributing cen
tiers the business done has been rather
smaller than for some time past.
Though quiet the iron and steel
situation has developed a rather more
confident tone. Less is heard about
shaded quotations, though, on the
other hand, the volume of new bus
mess has not been very large. Ex-
cept Immediately in Chicago, where
idleness of many thousands of men
has made dullness in the machin-
cry and kindred trades, the western
iron situation seems strong one.

Will Build Churches in lola.

lola is pretty well supplied with
modest church edifices in considerable
variety and the increased attendance
at these has started the talk among
the Presbyterians and the Methodists
about erecting new and larger
structures. 1t is not unlikely that be
fore another year passes these organ
izations will both have commenced
active operations. The Catholics have
a lot purchased and have for some
time been taking collections from the
members for the erection of church
ediflce in the northeast part OF town
1t is said that arrangements are about
completed and the funds subscribed.
The Episcopalisns expect to build this
summer and Arch-deacon Crawford is
spending two weeks here largely for
the purpose of looking into the matter.
The bishop has promised 500 if the
congregation raised 5000 and $500 il
$1,000 is raised. Mrs. Simpson has
donated the lot on south Walnut next
to the Taylor lumber yard and the
propects are very bright that this will
be the first of the churches mentioned
to be completed.

NORTHRUP BANK BUILDING
When Finished There Will be None
Better or Finer in the State

Few lola people realize that the
bank building which the Northrup
Brothers are erecting here will be
one of the handsomest Buildings In
the State of Kansas, modern in ap.
pearance and conveniences and made
to endure for all time to come. Such
is the fact, however, and glance over
the plans and specifications will con
vince anyone Of it.
The accompanying picture gives a
good idea of the exterior appearance
of the finished building. 1t will be of
lola pressed brick, ornamented with
some $4,000 worth Of cut etoEe and
terra Gotta, and Kansas City moulded
fancy brick. There is not a hand
somer building anywhere in the state
OF Kansas, and several of the con-
tractors say that with the sole ex.
cepuon of size there are no better or
finer in Kansas CITY.
The interior will consist of base.
ment and four floors all reached from
the street by stairways, one on the
east side and one on the north side.
The basement will he AZ by 81 feet, of
which space 26 by 35 will be devoted
to steam heating plant. An eleva-
tor will give access to the first floor
from the basement.
The ground fioer will have space on
the south side for the dry goods stock
of the firm. The rear part of this
side will be but one story high, the
roof being furnished wish large sky
light which will give abundant light
to the room. In the northeast cor
ner of the ground floor handsome
banking offices for the Northrup
National Bank will be fitted up.
Right west of the bank the Office of
the lola Brick Company will be To-
Gated and west of this q suite of three
rooms for the law firm Of Oscar Foust
q Son.
The second floor will contain seven
teen offices, all large and light and
airy, having outside windows which
will insure ventilation. The smallest
of these Toems will be II by % and
the largest Is by "a feet. Having the
reas of the south part of the building
one story permits this arrangement of
the offices.
The third floor will be fitted up for
lodge purposes, with abundant room
MI A II
'um 40x53 feet Will be the main hall
and there will be banquet hall
38x44 feet, II parlor 28x40 feet, and |
closets, dressing rooms, kitchen, para
phernalia rooms and reception rooms
in addition.
The fourth floor will contain two
large rooms, one IA by 20 feet and one
"a by Al feet, and closets and wash
rooms. A fire escape in addition to
the two stairways will give every
possible chance for escape In case of
fire.
The entire interior will be finished |
with a view to convenience and ele-
,gance. Prismatic glass will be used |
above the trRnsOms on the first floor
TO throw the light back into the
building and every modern means of
making the interior OF the building
pleasant will be utilized.
The stru cture will be plumbed for
water and gas, equipped with steam
heat and closets and toilets. Frem
the cement floor of the basement to
the top of the building the structure
will cost in excess of $4,000 when
finished and it will be a proud day
for lola when it is finished ard for
many year to come.
