END WORDS FOR COCKRELL.
s..,tor Chandler Declares He Would
YIN If Ran for Presidency.

Washington, April 20.-William E.
~ o,dler. New England senator who
.oourse is a dyed in the wool re-
aubliean, made some interesting dis
closures of personal conviction con
..,nine the forthcoming presidential
campaign.
"Do you know he began, what |
.hould do if / were managing the
democratic party and wanted it to
ntbe presidency this year. | would
nominate Francis Marion Cockrsll OF
Missouri and leave the making OF the
alotform TO whoever desired to do
that work
This Of course, sounds strange,
canning from "a man who thirty-five
voars ago thought all the men like
coekrell at that time had horns and
hoofs. a man who believed every
,ohal in arms should be shot without
mercy.
II have been in the senate with this
one-time confederate brigadier nearly
taenty wears, and / am convinced
that he is the most practical, If not
the most powerful, intellectual factor
in the democratic equation. Though
a stout and an intelligent democrat,
he il less partisan i'll matters OF
legislation than anybody that | have
ever known in either branch OF con
cress. He is able, clear-headed, far
sighted, clean and patriotic. Though
for four years in arms against the
government. cOnscientiOusly believe
that the people of all sections would
forgive him for that when his remark
able record in the senate was prop
erly laid before them. There is not a
member of the senate who could not
testify to the belief that if he We're ele-
waited to the presidency he would lie
entirely safe in that great office. No
section OF interest OF the country
would appeal to him over another.
OF course. Bryan is going to be nom
mated and this talk about Cockrell is
purely speculative. But as repub-
liean, am delighted that there is not
the least prospect of the Missourian S
nomination for president. Ii there
was chance of his being placed at
the head OF the democratic hosts in
the great battle soon to open should
very much despair of the reelection
Of Mckinley"

TIME OF REFORM
IN KANSAS CITY.
Democrats Unearth Republican
Schemes bv Which City's
Revenue Was FiIched.
TREASURY ALMOST EMPTY.
Republic, 9th.

Republic, 2sth.
The new democratic officials OF
Kansas City are just beginning to
uncover the frauds and the salary
grabs with which the city government
under the republicans was impreg-
mated. 1t has already gone far
enough to show conclusive evil
dence of the official corruption that
had fastened itself on all the depart
ments. Mayor Reed OF Kansas City
said yesterday to a Republic reporter:
although have been in office but
a short time, we have discovered a
monumental scheme which the repub-
Leans were using to mulct Kansas
CITY of its revenue. When | took
charge of the mayors office there was
less than 5000 in the city treasury.
1t had been drained to the last dregs
and the new officers will have to wait
some time to secure their salaries.
Besides that, it was evident that
street work might have to be sus-
pended because OF lack OF funds The
city departments were packed with
henchmen who did nothing but draw
their salaries 1t was outrageous. A
bill has been introduced in the city
council which will reduce this eXpend-
iture more than $4,000 per annum.
This will permit us to have more rev
enue for the various places where it
is badly needed. 1t has been paid
out in the days OF the republican ma
chine, under Jones, to the leeches who
were fastened onto the offices.
Mr.. Reed has sounded the keynote
OF reform and retrenchment III no
uncertain words The parallel case
of the St Louis city government I'M
der the Ziegenhein machine to that
of Kansas City under the Jones
regime is strangely marked. The OF
fees of the city government have
been packed with useless clerks who
are a constant drain on the city
treasury. Places have been made
for heelers in this ward and that until
the pay roll has grown to such great
proportions that the total friGhtens
even the party leaders themselves ev
cry time they think about it.
In Kansas City the republican cam
paign was conducted on the PROPOSE
ton of an increase in the taxation tC
pay for necessary improvements
The people saw it was game to load
more useless employees on the city
and their votes at the election plain
ly demonstrated what they thought
about it. The democrats won &
sweeping victory. In st. Louis the
shortage in the revenue ii the city ma '
be attributed to the bad manage
ment of the affairs of the city, anC
the padded pay rolls which the city
hall machine is forced to support tC
keep it's party workers in line.

that Cook will be adiud@ed insane

The fact. however. that about one
third OF those under practical death
sentence in the penitentiary and by
the custom OF the state serving life
sentence at hard labor. all declare
that they will follow Cook example,
argues at least that Cook is not an

Marshal Wannenwetch. accompa-
MED by Constable II. c. Haldredge,
left at once for the place to make an
investigation. The officers found
the tracks of a man near the bridge.
These led of from the railroad into
the breaks and raYines of the river.
After following them some distance
they discovered a man lying under a
bank. On being questioned as to
his whereabouts last night he drew a
revolver and began firing at the Off
GERS. They returned the fire, one OF
the shots from Wannenwetch gun
striking the suspect in the upper left
breast. Each emptied his gun. when
the wounded man fell. Constable
Haldredge remained with him while
the marshal came TO town and took
DR. Robertson out TO attend him.
The doctor pronounced the wound
fatal The man was brought to
town and efforts were made to save
him. but he died at , o clock.
4 search of his body revealed moth

Washington Correspondent of the Chicago Rec

Everybody is glad to have the
Puerto Rico bill out of the way. 1t
has been an incubus upon the repub-
iican party ever since it was reported
from the committee OF ways and
means, and a great annoyance to the
president 1t has cost a number of
congressman their seats in congress,
and unless something happens to
divert public attention it will give the
democrats a majority in the next
house Everybody except its author
and involuntary defenders unite in
condemning it as the most unfortu-
nate and disastrous piece OF legisla-
ton that has been introduced in
congress for years, and it will I'M
doubtedlv prove as destructive to
political life as the salary grab bill
that was passed by the forty-second
