Judge Lofty, the Former Democratic Pro-
bate Judge of Usage County, Says lie
viii Vote for Mckinley This taiL
Judge Lofty, the former democratic
probate judge of Usage county, has
come out with an open avowal of the
fact that he intends to vote for Nc
Kinley this fall.
He was interviewed by local paper
as follows:
Judge Lofty, understand that you
are a supporter of the federal admin
istration and expect to vote for Nc
Kinley. Is this true?"
at is. If had thousand votes 1
would give them all to Mckinley. Four
years ago / had strong prejudice
against Mckinley, but have got over
that and / am convinced that he is an
honest man and one of Americas
greatest statesmen"
BE kind enough, Judge, to give me
some of the reasons why you are sup
porting Mckinley"
SIN the first place, the populist
party, to which | have adhered dur
ing tie past few years, has failed to
do what is promised to do. l, with
Others, made these promises. I was
honest in my belief that the party, if
given the chance, would work reforms.
1t was given the chance and the lead
ers proved either incapable or recreant
and the reforms were not brought
about. The party is being swallowed
up by the democratic party. 1t is
opposing to-day what l believe to be
right and | cannot and will not sup
port any party that opposes in its
platform, or public uttcranccs, what
are my honest CONVICTIONS
"To what do you refer. Judge, when
you say that it opposes what you be-
lieve to be right?"
"The populist party, led by the dem
ocrats, is opposing President McKin-
ley's foreign policy and | believe that
policy to he right. believe that the
American government is the best on
earth. 1t is one of the principal lead
ers of civilization and for the extern
sion of liberty. We entered into a war
with Spain i'm the interest of human
| ity and for the purpose of securing
| liberty for the Cubans. As result of
that war the Philippine islands became
ours. / believe it is to the interest
of the natives of those islands that
| they be kept under the American flag.
| | had nephew in the First Washing
/ ton volunteers who was in the Phil
| ippines before the war with Aguinaldo
| began and who had good opportu-
nifty to observe the natives. | had a
! little talk with him last fall and he
! expressed the belief that the Filipinos
are not fit for self-government. From
all that | learn of them | think they
are hot ready to govern themselves
and / believe that America will give
them a better government than they
are capable of forming or maintain
ing for themselves. And furthermore
l believe that the American flag ought
to float wherever we place it until we
ourselves think proper to take it
down.
I'm my judgement William McKin-
ley has shown himself statesman and
ruler of great ability; he handled the
war with Spain in mastery manner
and should, believe, be kept in Office
to settle questions growing out of the
war"

Extinct Giants of Quinn.

Were there giants in the old days in
our latest possession, Guam? The
present races areaMelanesian and Ma
lay, with occasional Negritos. But
these men could never have built the
massive forts that dot the isles-forts
as massive as those OF Yucatan. The
walls range in height from eight feet
to forty. In one wall a corner stone ten
feet by two and one-halt by six was
found 20 feet above the ground. How
did the natives, who have left no trace
Of skill beyond a stone ak or two and
an iron spearhead, rear those mighty
walls ?--St. Louis Post Diapatch.

THE MONITOR WYOMING.
She Is to He Launched at Frisco Next
SATURDAY,.

Arrangements have been made by the
Union iron works at San Francisco to
launch the monitor Wyoming Saturday
next with imposing ceremonies. The Wy
oming is one of four singie-turret monitors
which Congress authorized in April, 1888
for coast defense, and Is regarded as a fine
piece of naval architecture The vessel
contains many novelties in construction.
The chief novelty is the inclined surface OF
the turret and the large superstructure on
the deck for the berthing of the crew. The
Wyoming has - feet 6 inches draught, H.
inch barbettes. Pinch Hichborn inclined
turrets, Finch guns and Pinch armor,
and will have a speed of II knots The
twin screws will be driven by =, 400 horse
power engine. The displacement is 3.2n
tons The vessel is 232 feet long on the
water line, with a powerful ram below wa
ter, and a ma ximum beam Of 30 feet.
Every effort has been made to make the
steel hull invulnerable. 1t Is protected
from gun fire by continuous belt of
armor reaching "a feet below the water
line up to the height of the main deck. The
armor is II inches abreast the boilers. and
has bee treated by the new Krupp pro-
cess. The Wyoming will have two Pinch
guns, four finch rapid-fire rifles. three 6-
Founders and four automatic 1-pounders.
The big guns will be In single balanced
Il rret. The four 4-inch rifles will have
commanding positions at the four corners
of the superstructure. These guns. as well
as the Pinch guns, will use smokeless
powder. Great pains has been taken to
make the monitor cool possible below
decks. The ventilating apparatus is elab
crate, and all the mechanism of the guns
and turrets will be run by electricity. The
vessel will carry captain, six officers and
q crew of 40 men.
