State in the time that he had continued
in confinement through the mistake

The Hawaiian Planters Association
has offered $500 in prizes to inventors
of labor-saving machines to be used in

are willing to pay for each. For ma
chine to cut cane the planters offer a
prize of $4,000 to the man who submits
the best plan. This sum will be increas-
ed to $4,000 if the design is accepted and
proves efficient. A cane transporter

MAKES CHOICE.
Mckinley Picks Allison for a
Running Mate.
ISSUES ARE FIXED UPON
Expansion Will be the Keynote of the
Declaration of Faith-yigorous
Foreign PolIcy-The lsth-
milan Canal.

Chicago, April IA Washington
special from Walter Wellman to the
TimesHerald says:
Senator Allison will be the vice presi-
dental candidate this year if he will
accept the honor. The senior senator
from Iowa is President Mckinley first
choice fora running mate, and if Sena-
tor Allison indicates a willingness to
serve his party in this role he will be
unanimously named at Philadelphia
two months hence.
President Mckinley and his advisers
in the administration hope Senator AL
lison will consent, but as yeti they
have had no opportunity TO learn his
wishes. The senator is in Iowa and is
not expected to return for several days.
The president is going away Thursday
morning, so it is not probable he and
Senator Allison will have a chance to
talk the matter over for more than a
week yet.
The president is anxious to have
upon the ticket with him a man Of ma.
tional prominence republican whose
name is known from one end of the
country to the other. He wants a
man who is in every way fit to be
president, and who has won the conf

think he will accept. They point to
the fact that in past presidential cam
paigns his name has more than once
been used in connection with the vice
presidential nomination, but the sena-
tor himself has always frowned upon
it, 1T is also recalled that he is per-
haps the only man in the United States
who has thrice refused the secretary
shi,, of the treasury. President Gar
field wanted him for this post, Presi-
dent Harrison tried in vain to get him
President McKinley's overtures met
with like fate.
Issues for Campaign.
Chicago, April ia special to the
Post from Washington says:
1.-THE administration leaders have
agreed upon the issues aud articles of
republican faith, which will be incor-
porated in the national republican plat
form, to be submitted to the Philadel-
phia convention for ratification. The
rough draft of the republican party
creed has been accepted by the leaders
in the senate and the national commit
|teemen.
s"rhe opening declaration will be a
hearty Endorsement of Mckinley and a
tribute TO his personal management of
the most brilliant military and naval
achievements of the close of the cen
tury.
UNQUALIFIED approval be accorded all
administrative acts.
"The establishment of y the gold
standard will be dwelt upon and a
plank will be devoted to renewed ale
glance to the gold standard.
"The keynote of the platform will be
the expansion issue. A strong, clear
|utterance in favor of the retention of
the Philippines, and of vigorous for
leigh policy will be delivered.
There will be no positive affirmation
of tho right of this government to gov
ern the Philippines, as that must be
left for future adjudication.
"The policy of protection will be af-
firmed and the platform will pledge the
party TO support the policy OF reci-
procity.
"a greater merchant marine and
Liberal pension laws will be demand
led. The Monroe doctrine will be reas-
lserted.
1.-THE Nicaraguan canal will be sup
ported if no action is taken at this SEES
sion of congress.
The developments of the near flu
ture in Cuba and the outcome of the
municipal election next month will
largely shape the policy towards that

ernments severed.
Another and more severe course may
be pursued, however, and an American
warship may be sent to one of the
Turkish ports, seize custom house,
and hold it until the demands of this
government are satisfied. They amount
to $1QG,000 and are for damages to the
property and persons OF American
missionaries. These claims have been
pending for a number of years, and
the patience of this government has be-
come exhausted more than once by the
dilatory tactics of the sultan and his
Representatives.

HON. W, B. ALLISON.

dence of the country by years of pub
lie service in responsible posts. For
these reasons he had hoped to have
Governor Roosevelt upon the ticket,
and for the same reasons he now wish
es to secure the acceptance OF Senator
Allison.
In administration circles there is "a
hope that the Iowa senator will be
glad to round out his Career with a
term as vice president. 1t is pointed
out that this would not involve any
change Of scene for him. 1t would con
tinue him in the senate, where he has
been so long and where he has been
of such great service to the country
and the party. The only difference
would be that instead of sitting upon
the floor and working hard upon the
committees he would be promoted to
the chair.
The vice presidency is right in line
with Mr.. Allson's career. and il is an
office TO which his temperament we'll
adapts itself. He is now the leader of
the republican party in the senate,
and such he would continue to be if
promoted to the vice presidency.
An ideal vice president is dignified.
amicable, of fine address, leader of
men thru his wisdom, his moderation,
his friendships, his faculty for maxi
ing peace and securing harmony and
actior out of discord and chaoes.
This describes William B. Allison to a
nicely.
Tho the recognized republican leader
in the upper branch of congress, Mr..
Allison is not aggressive. He never
fights. He is never found at the front
of a doubtful cause, pioneering with
courage and forcing his way by main
strength. Bit on innumerable occas-
ions he has been of vast service to his
party by closing up the column, gath
ering in the stragglers, promoting the
compromise which is the inevitable ba-
sis of sall contested legislation. Diplo-
matte, patient, forbeering, enjoying
the affection of all senators to an un-
usual degree, his practical achieve
ments are often great and valuable
where a more aggressive man would
be worse than failure.
In many respects William b. ALI
son is an ideal public servant. A fight
er like Teddy Roosevelt, a self-con-
strained, aggressive man like Secretary
Root would be an experiment of doubt-
full result in the presidential chair. The
post fits Mr.. Allison as if he were made
for it or it for him.
Senator Allison's friends here do not

CHRONIC
DISEASES

I have been taught the best way to
awaken the interest of the afflicted
is to lay before them from time to
time the freely offered testimonials
of those whom have cured. The
interest once aroused, it becomes
easier to inspire confidence.
Those who are noe personally ac-
quainted with us might hesitate to
believe our statements as to the
ability to cure, but can hardly re-
fuse to beliA-s the unsolicited tes-
mony of those who have been re-
stored to health.
We do not care to talk about our
self, but we only wish to have you
understand that what we say is re-
LIABLE. and if you come here for
treatment we will do as well by you
as we have done by others if your
case is durable.

The case of the Board Of County Com

against Bud Barley and Thomas john
son, charged with maintaining nuis-
ance, which was to have come up before
Judge Smith this morning, was settled
out of court. 1t seems that Messrs
Barley and Johnson own stable near

mine and that Arthur Hicks, who lives
in the immediate vicinity OF the stable'
objected to the stable and instigated the
suit against the defendants above named.
The matter was amicably settled, how
ever, last night by Hicks purchasing the
stable for which he paid $50, and agree
