-Jeannette La FIambOy,

Rev. T. II. James, whose last pas
torate was at Oakley, Kan, and who
some time ago left for England to lay
claim to millions as his share Of an
immense estate has not been heard
from. Consequently the managers Of
the Kansas Wesleyan university, Of
Salina, to which Mr.. James has offered
an endowment Of $4,000, and the Of
hcers Of Bethany hospital, Of Kansas
City, Kan. TO which he also promised
$4,000, are very anxious as to the
whereabouts Of the parsOn.
They do not think that Mr.. James
has deceived them one jOt or title, but
they are fearful that something has
happened to him through the instru-
mentality Of some one who hopes to
gain thereby. Mrs. James, who IS In
Oakley, received a letter from her
husband written aboard the steamer
upon which ne took passage, but
mailed directly after the boats arrival
at southampton. The letter stated
that the writer had formed the ac-
qUaintance or a very cOngenial clergy
man on the way over, and that they
had become fast friends and would be
together much in England.
Mrs. James has heard nothing from
her husband since this time, and she
fears that the strange minister was on
the boat for no good purpose, but that
he was a tool used to make way with
her husband. Rev. James is a man
that has seen much Of the world. He
was born In England; ran away from
home when a boy, and entered upon a
sea life; later he contracted the drink
habit, but was finally converted and
joined the ministry. 1t does not seem
probable that Mr.. James has been
duped by his acquaintance, yet it is
not impossible that the fellow should
smile and be a villain.

The augury of the political sky for
the men nominated both by the pOpu-
list and democratic parties Saturday
points well toward success. This con
ditiOn arises from the fact that the
candidates are the popular choice of
the fusion forces. No party bosses
harrassed the conventions by holding
a political lash over the heads Of dele
gates to drive them to the support Of
their pet candidates. The ticket, there
fore, stands as the object of the wish
of the majority of voters of Sherman
county.
For several years past the republican
party with a minority vote has held
part Of the county offices by the grace
Of populist votes. The campaign Of
1900 finds party rancOr at very low ebb;
those who formerly thought that to
work with the democrats was a process
Of suicide now see with unObstructed
vision the wisdom Of cooperating with
the democratic party, since the aims
and purposes of both are closely akin.
This being presidential year, vOt-
ing viii be strictly along party lines.
Every vote cast against the Mckinley
administration is a dissenting voice
against the abnormal use of power
usurped by the Washington regime,
which, if continued, will result in the
formation Of a strong centralized gov
ernment. To this aggrandizing ten
dency the reform forces of the country
are opposed. Not only do they remon-
strate against the consolidation Of
power supposed to repOse with the peO-
pie, but they look forward to certain
advances in the machinery Of the gov
eTnment whereby the people may come
into closer touch with the law making
power Of the country.
The fusion ticket stands as a bull
wark to the full rights Of the populace
everywhere, and every local success
gives strength to the state and nation
al organizations through which a real
izatiOn of the hope of better things
must come.

Tenant IS a prophet. When he
shook the dust Of Sherman county from
his feet in the fall Of 1898, he prophe-
sled In the last regular issue Of his pa
per that Sherman county would 90 to
the dogs. Has this prophecy proved
true? Last year he uttered the pro-
phetic statement that the POpulist
party would be swallowed by the dem
Ocrats. Has this proved true? Last
week he came forth with the same old
gag" that the popuIist party is dead.
Tenant is a prophet of BaaL There
is no truth in him.

A funicular railway is proposed at
Trieste, says the Engineer. The object
is to connect the town, which is in q
hollow at the foot Of the Karst, with
Opcina. At present, in order to reach
Opcina, which is ?, 2,I5O meters from the
center Of the town as the crow flies, it
is necessary to travel by the railway
line to Vienna, which, however, has to
make a long detOur, stopping at the
junction Of Nabresina, and the journey
from Trieste to Opcina takes from an
hour to an hour and q half. The line
will be Of narrow gauge, five kilOmeters
long. The steepest portion of the line,
the gradient of which, is one in four,
will be laid down on the rack-and-
pinion system. Six stations are to be
provided for the present. The line
will be worked by electric power, and
the Abt system now in vogue in SWitz-
erland viii be used.

the platform attempts to justify the
course Of the administration through
the putting down Of an armed insur-
reetion. Every well read person knows
that Immediately after the battle Of
Manila bay, the FilipinOs we're con
sidered as our allies; were given arms
BY Admiral Dewey and worked In con
junction with what American troops
that were then there; and only by our
naughty domination was the trouble
brought on. Since according to inter
national law the original rights revert
to a subject people when the rule Is
relinquished by a nation, the Filipinos
could not be in a state Of insurrectiOn;
but in a state Of beIIigerency only.
But especially does the platform
show inconsistency in sticking hard to
the Monroe doctrine and at the same
time favOring expansion 1t frees its
party from any responsibility toward
the South African war by reafirming
the already self-brOken policy Of non
/ intervention in European cOntrOver-
sizes. The present activity by this
country In China, which is needful and
right, is an express violation Of the
very principle under which it hides
itself from the call Of duty coming
from the Beers to give material and
moral support to the sentiment Of a
republican and against a mOnarchical
form Of government.
By the renewing Of faith In both pro
lection and expansion, the republican
party embraces two doctrines that are
Numerically opposed to each other.
! How can the American IabOrer be pro
| tected when expansion is the open door
for the cheapest labor under the sun?
It may not have been the intention
of the national convention In adopting
this platform, to dodge these issues,
I but it certainly is clear to any candid
mind that the platform lacks pith and
power. 1t is the opinion Of the best
uninterested critics that the document
is not a great state paper, and that it
has no especial merit from a literary
standpoint.

THE PHILADELPHIA PLArFoR1I.

Again has the republican party
through its national convention held
at Philadelphia, given to the public its
declaration Of principles. There is
nothing surprising in the document,
except possibly its length, it contain
ing about 1900 words. The most posi-
tive feature Of the platform, altogether,
is its arraignment Of the democratic
party. It touches upon the things that
are essentially republican-the tariff,
pensions, expansion, reciprocity, etc.
we declare our steadfast opposition
to the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver is the substance Of the plank
on the money question, following with
the statement that anO measure to that
end could be considered without the
support Of the leading commercial
countries Of the world" knowing that
international agreement looking tow
ard bimetalism is utterly removed
from probability, their stand on the
money question after all is evasive and
forces the supporters Of bimetalism to
light them in a covert position.
OF course the boys Of a lymphatic
temperament and whose constitutional
tendency IS toward a more perfect
union are through the trust plank,
switched upon the legs, yet no corporal
punishment is meant thereby. When
the fact is considered that there has
been a remarkable multiplication of
trade and industrial combinations
under the Mckinley administration,
she remcnstration to trusts appears
rsl-ieulCus.

Gen. Alexandra Rodriguez is the
newly elected mayor Of Havana. Some
who do not favor giving to Cuba an
autonomous government, say that in
the election little interest was shown
and was regarded with almost absolute
Indifference, the total vote falling
about 4,5OO below the registration.
Havana has a population of over 2OO,-
600. From the legal voters Of a city of
this size, the number failing to vote
was not alaTmingly large after all.
Even in the progressive state Of Kansas
the prOhibitory law was passed by a
minority vote Of the legal voters of the
state.

Sherman is the first county In Kansas to be
captured by the Hill boom for vice president.
The above article appeared in the
Topeka State Journal of Monday.
When it is known that two members
Of the delegation, Messrs. G. T. Weber
and William Ennis, have for a long
time been pushing upon the rear end
Of the republican band wagon Of Sher-
man, it causes some surprise to see
with what political detection the re-
publican party Of Sherman is rampant.
The only hypothesis that can &C
( count for the political sOmersauIt Of
these two individuals rests in what is
probably the truth that they are fear
ful Of the dry rot or leprOsy which is
epidemic upon the republican herd.
The sanitation Of the democratic party
Is excellent, and these two gentlemen
left peremptOrily, as did Joseph his
coat in the hands Of the harIot, their
infected garments in the hand Of the
keeper of the republican pest house

FIELDS OF JUNE.

Oh fields Of June. how fair you are
Meath skies serene and warm,
With butterCup and daisy-star
That gem the hillside farm;
With gentle slope, and CLASSY curve
That guard the singing Eills,
Oh, fields Of June, how fair you are
Upon the breezy EillsI
Oh, fields Of June, how fair you are,
How great the wealth you hold.
The promise Of the early year
Speaks through your harvest gold.
The dew that fe1 at eTentide
The daylight warm and sweet,
They live again In yellow seas
OF waving. sun-cissed wheat.
On, fields Of June, how glad you are
When night gives place 70 morn,
When light winds leave the clover banks
To wander through the corn.
When from the meadOW-Ways some bird
Pours forth his duIcet tune,
How fair you are, how glad you are,
Oh. happy fields Of Junel

nIiIlionaires in London.

According to the London Mail the
milIionaires of London are mostly
American and African, and as a class
they are not very welcome. ave are
not a rich aristOcracy," wrote Lady
Warwick a few years ago in referring
to England's upper class. "We are,
many of Us, deadly poor, little better
than splendid paupers." They we're
owners of rural England, but under the
gold unit Of value their lands, like
| lands in other countries, have become
of comparatively little value, and now
the money lords OUtrank in wealth the
landed aristOcracy. It is stated that
only a very extraordinary English
estate can be rented for from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year, and the cost of keeping
up such an estate is not less than
$4,000 and may reach $4,000 a year.
Mention is made Of q man with 500
years Of family history behind him who
/ has buried himself in a $500 q year
villa not far from London, while the
rent Of the old mansion and estate nets
him some $500 a year. The latter
part Of this century has been fatal to
revenues or rentals from land in Am
erica as well as in England. Apart
from South Africa, the British colonies
have sent but few millionaires to Lon
don, but those from America are quite
plenty and very rich Among those
mentioned who are often seen, and who
live a part OF all Of the time in London,
are Andrew Carnegie, William Waldorf
As5or, the Bradley Martins, James r.
Keene, Joseph Pulitzer and Marshal
Field. Some, like Ksene and Pulitzer,
60 there every year to rest, as the
largest city IN the world furnishes Op-
pOrtunities for a quiet life. Joseph
Pulitzer suffers from insomnia, and be
seeks the quitest town houses he can
find in the great metropolis, tor a pOr-
ton Of each year, and is often seen at
concerts, but never talks about busi-
ness matters His income is placed at
abo1t 100000 a year. OF Marshall
Field, the merchant prince Of Chicago,
it is stated that he loves Warwickshire,
where he is we'll known in hunting
circles. The Mail says: %Ten thous-
and shOpmen called him master, and
10000 small retailers cursed his enOr-
nous business as being their ruin. For
he was the most enterprising, the most
relentless, the most successful Of mo-
nopOlistss- Some Of the millions made
in Chicago now find their way here. !"
Alfred Belt, a German, son Of Ham
burg merchant, who resides in London,
is the weslthiest one Of the lot, having
made his money in South Africs's
diamond and gold fields, and his wealth
equals that Of the Rothschilds. He is
said to be the worlds only biIlionaire,

Hanna's attempt to stir enthusiasm
at the national convention for his

thusiasm- The governor is a grand

yet to win him a home at the white

GERMAN FINANCES
Bank Discounts Higher and Metal
 Is Lower

Berlin, April 29.-The president of the reichstag pointed out today that the banks, discounts and loans are now 69 GOO GOO marks higher, and its metal stock is 76- GOO, 00O0 lower than was the case at the corresponding date last year. Private dis counts are fully 1 per cent higher and foreign exchange is partly above the gold point small quantities of gold already having left Germany. For these reasons he contended that it was impracticablel to reduce the rate. Last week began with heavy sales in irons and coalers owing to the American iron market reports, which continue to attract the keenest attention The decline was kept up heavily until Fri day when recovery began. The boom is here thought to have reached its culmina- don; and quietly prices advanced.
 The coal famine has not been relieved and the chamber of commerce of Bremen has resolved to invite the cooperation of other chambers in remedying the diff culty.
 The sugar syndicate is said to have reached an agreement for the next five years. The Saxon cotton mills have raised prices from 10 to 15 per cent. 5g
 Imports into Germany for the last quar- ter were 1861 000, 900 marks, a decrease of 29, ,000, 900 marks as compared with last year. The exports were 1,1i9, ,060,000 marks, an increase of 95, 900. The statistics for 1899 show that the imports from th5 esnited States were 907. .000O, 900 marks, and the ex- port to the United States BIT, ,So6 marks. The imports increased 30.000,00o marks and the exports 100000 marks.

\ BATTALION OF
 NAMED VETERANS Unique Military Organization of Survivors of Civil War
 Formed in Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga, April 29.-The ''maimed veterans battalion" a Confederate Vet erans union, is being formed in this state for the purpose of attending the reunion of the U. c. " at Louisville. One of the qualifications for membership is that the applicant for enlistment must have lost either an arm, leg, hand or eye in the confederate service. The battalion will be composed of 1O5 veterans, and all expenses will be defrayed by a fund which is now being raised by public sub scription.
 The members of the battalion will each carry one of the old Springfield rifles used by the privates in the southern army dur ing active hostilities. They will also be uniformed according to the regulations governing the dress of the confederate soldier.
 The battalion will be under the command or Major W. P. Dearing of this city, who was assistant adjutant general of Stovalr S brigade during the civil war, and who led the famous charge on the federal troo,Z at the battle of Atlanta. He, with the as- sistance of Brigadier- General A. J. West of Atlanta, commander of the north Georgia brigade, to which the mafmed battalion will be attached, are recruiting the mem- bers of the unique organization.
 Many of the most prominent men of the state will go as privates in the command Among them will probably be Governor Allen D. Candler, who lost an eye; Comp troller-General Wright of Georgia, Judge William T. Newman of the United States district court, Richard Hobbs president of the Bank of Albany pr. J. s. Todd of Att lanta, and many others.
