Kisson senatorial contest and its at
teudant sensations, McKisson- issued
q statement, which, it is supposed,
still describes his position toward
Hanna and the new republican party.
A part of it was as follows:
II was not in favor of monometal-
lism, but in favor of bimetallism.
wss not in favor of Secretary Cages
plan for destroying the use of paper
money. was not in favor of giving
additional power and privileges to
national banks. ! said would stand
for the people at all times and against
the monopolists. The contest now
ended was not between parties in any
sense, but between republicans, one
faction representing plutocracy and
the other the common people. Mr..
Hanna has introduced into republican
politics policy of corrupt and lavish
use of money heretofore unknown to
our party, and it has reached an
alarming crisis within the last few
days. This policy is serious menace
to the success and perpetuity of the
party and if continued cannot help
but threaten its very existence.

Yes, August Flower still has the

Schwartz, former employees of the st.
Louis Transit company, were arrested
yesterday on the charge Of dynamiting
the conduit of the Olive street cable

nan and Northway have confessed and
implicated Schwartz.
Schwartz denies that he took any
part in the dynamiting. but admits
that he was with the two other men
just before and just after the explo-
sion occurred. The police authorities,
as well as the st. Louis Transit COM
many officials, claim that the men I'M
der arrest are the ring-leaders Of the
clique of dynamitards that have been
operating internationally since the be-
ginning of the strike.

Robbed an Express Car.

Columbus, o.. Aug. 13.-Charles L.

Adams Express company, was arrested
yesterday afternoon in this city, and

at midnight Friday with the messen-
gers dead body in the express car. One

he had stolen was recovered. Ferrel
was to have been married Thursday

the whole thing, including the murder
of acknowledgements Lane-because
he wanted money to be married.

waited after getting on the express car
until Lanes back was turned and then
shot him repeatedly until he was sure
he was dead. He took the packages he
stole to a hotel at Plain City and in 4
room there searched the stolen matter
for cash, sending the other stuff by ex-
press to Lockport, n. Y, to a fictitious
person. This matter was stopped at
Columbus and with his pistol which

ming to show deep lines of care on his
face. He still maintains that he was
alone in the crime.

That PopuIist Marriage.

The honest minded populist OF
Minnesota must have felt what a
BOBBY he had been played for VIII en-
he read the result Of the state Popu-
list convention held in St. Paul a
short time ago. Only four years ago
the populist party had more votes in
the state than the democratic party;
but they married and bred nest OF
ingrates, so that now the Popu lists
are dotarded in their youth and con
signed to the poor house by their off
spring. 1t is wrong to say the Popu-
list patty is dead, for we occasionally
see the shadow of its present robust
figure wandering around in the per,
son of man who was honest in his
convictions. It is right, however, to
say that It has received its death blow
in the house of its supposed friends
and Donnelly stands beside it to do
the Mark Anthony act.-Lit chfeld

Mr.. Eddy is getting great deal of
credit for his success in passing the
free homes bill through the house.
There are two sides to the question.
While it is good thing for those
who have taken claims on reservation
land, yet it does not seem fair that
the people should pay the Indians
for these lands the sum of $35, O0O,-
600 in order that a few thousand set

To a man up tree it looks as if
the farmers of this county were pur-
suing policy similar to that of the
merchant who stocks up with out of

is that he finds no sale for any of it.
The farmers here continue to raise
wheat when wheat is ont of date,
while comparatively few invest their
labor in stock, hogs, fax and other
farm commodities that are now "all

A COMMUNICATION in the ''Scandi-
maven" a Norwegian daily of Chicago,
takes very sensible view of the
responsibilities which this govern
ment has before it in the Philippines.
The article says in part I'VE of the
United States have arrived at new
stage in onr national career and
political development. A combin-
alton of circumstances over which we
have no control has obliged us to
occupy by right of possession the
Philippine Islands with their seven
million inhabitants. To establish
peace and order, to suppress discon-
tent, to curb the influence of hate
full clergy among seven million semi
barbarians thousands of miles away
from our shores and to institute
among them a government which
shall be perfectly stable as we'll as
just, is task we'll calculated to try
the wisdom of our statesmen and the
patience and virtues of the American
people at large. To lay down per-
manent and arbitrary rules for
governing the PHILIPPINES would be
The government must
meet the demanda of existing condi-
tons and must be changed and modi-
fed as the PHILIPPINES shall progress
in self-discipline, moral culture and
Intelligence.
"The administration Of the islands
would be an easy matter were il not
for a gang of Inscriptions political
stockholders in this country. If we
take up the matter in the right spirit
and with firm determination to deal
Justly and squareiy with others, no
matter what the consequences be to
we shall meet with no
trouble whatever. If, on the other
hand, self interest and bigotry shall
be the ruling traits in our colonial
policy we shall not only be the means
of destroying the independence in
sight for chem, but shall lose our own
into the bargain.
''The strength of a nation is not all
in it's army or navy or in its vast
revenue, but in the love Of truth
justice and liberty, in the deep and
instructive hatred Of oppression and
tyranny in any. form, in the firm
resolve, the dauntless spirit which
brooks no attempts at despotism
whatever"

cause of q gentleman who was de-
afeated for the Republican nomina-

remarkable showing which Mr..
Valentine made in this county. On
g the whole the fight was a clean one
on either side and especially so for

this village. Now that the prelimi-

CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 27.-In view
Of the steps taken by the United States
government in regard to the claims
arising out of the Armenian massacres,
the embassies Of Great Britain, France,
Austria, Italy and Germany have asked
their governments for instructions as to
their similar claims.
The PRONUNCIATION of the trade author
izing the rebuilding of the American
structure burned at Harpoot and the en-
largement Of the Roberts college is re-
garded as showing clearly the intention
of the Yidis Kiosk to be agreeable to the
United States in the hope that the lat
ter will not press for the payment Of
the indemnity. The United States gov
eminent, however, has no intention of
abandoning it's claim.

Not an ultimaturn.

WASHINGTON, April 27--It is learned
that the note of Mr.. Griscom, United
States charge at Constantinople, is
founded on the state departments in
structions to press vigorously the claim
for indemnity already lodged with the
porte. The note is not an ultimatum in
any sense, but is in continuation of the
expressed determination Of the state de-
partment to exhaust all peaceful and
proper means to secure a settlement Of
these American claims.
