TELLER ON SILVER.
Veteran Colorado Senator Op-
poses Finance Bill.
Says the Country Is Not Le-
gally on Gold Standard.
The House Considers Execu-
tive, Legislative and Judicial
Appropriation Bill.

WASHlNtiIoN. FEB. l1.-Ihc mouse
today entered upon the consideration Of
the executive, legislative and judicial APP
preparation bill. Before Mr.. Hemcnway
und.), who was in charge Of the bill, call
ed it up the reports in the contested cleo
ton case of Aldrich versus Robbins, from
the Fourth Alabama district, were sub
mitted. The majority reported in. favor
of the contestant and the minority in fa-
vor Of the sitting member.
The Democrats were disposed to insist
upon several days for general debate on
the legislative bill on the ground that not
sufficient time was to be allowed to de-
bate the Porto Rican tariff bill All eff
forts to reach an agreement failed. and
the house went into committee of the
whole with no arrangement about gen
eral debate
Mr. Hemenway made n general expla-
nation of the bill.
Mr.. Payne IN. ", the floor leader of
the majority, interrupted Mr. Hemen-
way to announce that in view of the fail
ure to reach an agreement concerning the
| debate on the legislative bill he would
call up the Porto Rican bill on Monday
next.
In the senate today the routine busi-
ness was brief Immediately after 1t
was concluded the financial bill was pre-
sented by the chair. 1t was agreed that
the pending measure and amendments
| thereto should be considered under the
ten minute rule.
| Mr.. Teller was recognized to reply to
! the speech of Mr.. Allison delivered yes
| terday. He had waited in vain, he said,
| for an explanation of the house bill
| which technically was the measure under
! consideration. He approached all ques-
| tons relating to the finances of the coun-
! try with suspicion. He thought the house
| bill ought to be considered carefully, as it
! might possibly become the law. 1t had
| been drafted by a commission composed
! of acute lawyers, and there were force
| and strength behind It.
| Mr.. Teller took strong issue with Mr.
Allison that the United States was now
on the gold standard. I'VE are not on
! the gold standard except by the unau-
thorized action of the treasury. We are
on what is sometimes called a limping
silver standard and sometimes a gold
| standard
| Nobody outside of the United States
has considered the United States on the
gold standard, but it may be said that we
practically have been forced by executive

Not Sold.

There has been considerable excite.
ment this week in telephone circles over
the report circulated by Mr.. Glidden of
the Erie company, that they had pur-
chased the Kalamazoo and Central COM
panies Such is not the fact, and we
give the following, a dispatch to the
secretary of the Union company from
Kalamazoo, Jan. 81:
"The stockholders of the Kalamazoo
Telephone Company held large and
enthusiastic meeting Monday evening
and decided not to sell out to the Bell
company. 1t was also determined to
rise funds for the improvement Of its
service, and directly $1,000 was secured
for that purpose. The company declares
positively it will not unite with the Erie
system, and it has the support Of mon
eyed men in its effort to make success
of the independent movement. The
company has some $50 stockholders and
is in good financial condition.
"The sale of the state line to the Cent.
raj company has not yet taken place."
The people of Kalamazoo do not pur-
pose to discontinue the system that has
brought rates down within reach of all
1t has been demonstrated that in other
places where the Bell company has
wiped out the independent companies
their rates have at ouce been advanced
Let the people of Gratiot county look
back before the independent system
was located in the county and compare
the rates. The report that the Union
Telephone Company had sold out is
wholly without foundation. Tire COM
pany have just increased its capitali-
zation from $25, 900 TO 100000 and is
stronger than ever and proposes to stay
and by so doing, protect the people from
the coolest MONOPOLY on earth.

Sophomore Exhibition.

Last Friday night at the college
chapel, occurred the exhibition Of the
class of 1902. First on the program was
a piano duet by Misses Woodward and
Messenger. After prayer by President
Bruske, Lucius S. Bagley delivered an
Grafton on "Our Naturalization Laws, "
in which he showed the inadequacy of
the present naturalization laws, in that
they gave the ignorant and indifferent
foreigners the same rights TO citizenship
as the intelligent, honest foreigner. His
Grafton was an eloquent plea for better
laws. John n Booth followed with an
Grafton on "Stonewall Jackson" by
which he portrayed in an interesting
way the superior character Of the man
who conscientiously fought for loosing
cause. "A New Era in France" was
the subject OF the Grafton given by. Wes-
ley Bradfield. in which he showed that
France is not a political nation, but that
her influences is felt in the world of
literature and art. A vocal solo, The
Convert was beautifully rendered by
Miss Hooper. The subject of Trusts
was treated in an Grafton by William
Elton Brock. He said in substance that
trusts in themselves were not necessari-
ly harmful, but were dangerous in the
hands of avaricious men. Our country
gets what it wants, and when it wants
TO rid itself of trusts, it will do so. Egg
bert + Fell followed with an oration,
"What il Means to Defend Our
Country S Flag He spoke briefly of the
history of our flag then said in sub
stance that if our flag is to mean what
it is in the future il must be defended
and upheld, not by arms and war, but
by the noble manhood of the nation.
Miss Agnes Hope gave an excellent
essay on Hannibal" in which she
pointed out some of the good qualities
that made up the greatness of this hard
ened warrior, who has been criticized
and whose life has been written only by
his enemies. After piano solo by
Miss Woodward, Geo. b. Kinnie de-
livered an Grafton on "The College and
Citizenship" He said that every good
citizen should take part in politics.
He showed the influence Of the college
upon society and politics The Grafton
was we'll delivered This was Mr..
Kinnie's first appearance on public
program in Alma, and he did himself
and the class great credit. Robert r.
NJ. Mckee gave an Grafton on Michael
Angelo the Artist" in which he spoke
of the influence that this wonderful art.
ist has had upon the world. Through
all the great masterpieces of art, there
shines the character of the artist him
self. William G.. S. Miller was sick and
unable to deliver the Grafton that he
had prepared on 1.-The Mission of Capt. |
tai" The program closed with violin |
solo by Master Dudley Tinker.
The productions were well prepared
and well rendered and showed thorough |
work on the part of the participants
At the close of the program the class
went to the ladies' hall, where they
were entertained by the class of 1903.
Refreshments were served and an hour
was spent in visiting and singing COL
lege songs. They departed feeling that
they had been entertained as only the
freshman class can entertain.
After the storm, sunshine.
