Editor PLAIN DEALER:-
Dear Sir,-l copy the following
from the Howard County Times OF
July 18th.
The Kansas City convention comes
ABOUT as near being ..impsgiali lism,, as
dog collar locked onthe necks Of every
man, and no one was permitted to do
a thing unless he had Bryan's permis-
sin to do it. The plank on 'imperial-
ism is the most ridiculous thing about
the platform, though there are several
things that are about as bad.
Now the Times is lahoring under
bad mistake, for Mark Hanna had the
dog collars all bought up long ago to
put on the necks of the republican
party. He has had one on Mckinley
ever since he has been in the White
house and when the Porto Rico ques-
tion came up he had to put an extra
one ON, for Mack declared that it was
our ''plain duty" to make Porto Rico
free. Even the Editor OF the Times is
wearing one of the collars.

Suicide.

Ihos. A. Bridges, so long clerk at
Strother House, committed suicide in
his room in the Strother House at
1880 Tuesday night, shooting himself
through the head. The weapon used
was 3S caliber revolver, the bullet
entering his right temple, passing en-
tirely through his head, and after strik-
ing the bed post falling to the floor.
Dependency caused by ill health and
lack of employment was the cause.
He had no relatives in this country,
but had a nephew and niece in Lon
don, England, the latter having visit
ed him here two years ago.
Many, on hearing of his death, sur
missed he must have been out of money,
but such was not the fact, as several
days tefore his death he had informed
Mrs. Strother that he had about $500
in bank, and told her his wishes in
case anything happened to him,
and about 800 was found in his purse.
He had also received letters, as have
Others from his niece, asking
him to come and spend the balance of
his days with her, and had partially
arranged to make the trip to England
as soon as his health would permit.
He was first known to our people at
McGregor when that was the trading
point for this section and has been
there and in this county for over 40
years. Most of the time he had been
in the employ of Mr.. Strother as book
keeper and hotel clerk, an his request
of Mrs. Strother was to bury him as
near to Mr.. Strother as possible. To
Q. ID. Nichols he said the day before
his death that he wished the doctor
would give him something to put him
in his eternal sleep. This was the
only intimation he made of the step
contemplated.
He lived nearly two hours after
shooting himself, although never re-
covering consciousness.
The funeral occurred Thursday after
noon from the Congregational church.

Insular Government Depositories.

The tnsular affairs committee of the
House heard Secretary Gage yesterday af-
ternoon in support Of a bill introduced by
Mr.. Sibley of Pennsylvania, to empower the
Secretary Of the Treasury to designate
government repositories in the Islands Of
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines, for
the deposit of public funds. The Secretary
explained that there were two classes of
funds In these islands-those collected as
revenue, which were under the control Of
the War Department, and those of the
treasury for disbursement IN the Islands IN
accordance with law.
The latter funds are disbursed by dis
bursting officers of the, government and
cannot by law be deposited except in the
treasury, subtreasury or government de-
pository. If deposited elsewhere the dis
bursting officer by law Is technically guilty
Of embezzlement. The Secretary Endorsed
the bill, which, he said. was drawn at the
Treasury Department. The bill was favor
ably reported, with amendment, making 1t
applicable as to Cuba only during Ameri-
can occupation Of the island.
