Of 1889, and the occasion made menu
ornblc by Il banquet. at which the
lawyer, statesman and diplomat was
the guest of honor. | met him late i'll
the afternoon Of that day, and had op-
portunity to walk distance with him
on Michigan avenue. What he said
was in the nature of Il personal con-
versation. There is no impropriety in
revealing now what he believed the
future contained for the nation he
loved so well. the form of government
he so strenously defended aud upheld.
l have reason to believe had he lived
that he would have spoken these
words in public, before the United
States senate, within the next two
years:
"You know" he said, that it is the
'backwoods' that have made all these
Northwestern states, and practically
all the great states of the Union. The
cities, with the exception of New York
and Chicago, have had very little to do
with development and growth until
within the last ten years. The back

What Welsh has been mixed in has
stiffened the quality, added to the
iron. The tincture of pure Irish in it
is small. and the French is almost
wholly absent. The English. of course,
runs through it all. l speak of this
because it is this Scotch-Irish and
Dutch which is yet to collide with GER
tain congressional tendencies, certain
governmental tendencies, and bring
about a complete political and social
reorganization. The Capitalization
policy is not the true spirit of the mass
of the American people. The true
American spirit is 'individualsm-the
thing the French of '93 aimed ut and
missed. the thing that Washington aud
Jefferson and Patrick Henry grasped
and held. Washington is very far re-
moved from the heart of the United
States, and it is the mistake many
men make who go there that they fall
into the habit Of thinking that the
United States are made and held to-
gether by Washington. They get
away from the Individual.

MOUNT REFUSES
GOVERNOR OF INDIANA WILL NOT
HONOR KENTUCKY REQUI-

In a Letter to Governor Beckham the
Indiana Executive Says 1t Would
be Impossible to Secure a Fair Trial
for Mr.. Taylor and He Therefore
Refuses to Give Him Up.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 13.-Govern,
or Mount tonight issued a statement
declining to honor a requisitiOn from
Governor Beckham of Kentucky for
the return to that state of William S.
Taylor, under indictment for compiled
ty in the assassination of Governor
Goebel.
Colonel Thomas G. Campbell, Justus
Goebel, brother of the murdered man.
and Sheriff Suter of Franklin county.
Kentucky, arrived this afternoon
with the requisition.
After hearing the arguments Govern
or Mount asked for the papers in the
case, which included copies of the evil
dence, and said he would consider the
matter. Late tonight he announced
his decision refusing to honor the reQui-
sition in a letter to Governor Beckham,
which says:
81 do o believe a fair and impartial
trial can or will at this time be given
Mr.. Taylor. When Judge Cantrill Of
the trial court at Frankfort declares
that he would not subject a sheep-kill-
ing dog to a trial under such circum-
stances as exist, may l not refuse to
send Mr.. Taylor back to be subjected
to trial with this prejudice intensified
and famed into hate? When a man
who is a controlling spirit in the prose-
cution, a witness in this case and prom
inent in its councils, uses the mon
strous language that when they got
control they would hang republicans
like pigs to a pole land these anarch-
istic words have not, to my knowledge,
been denied), the question of guilt
seems of little consequ 4qce in this
conspiracy against innocs.t men, the
furtherance of which is inrtct.ted by in
dictments found by a psfzisan grand

Al Washington dispatch says that
| Senator Warren of Wyoming, in reply
to an inquiry today as to his views con-
corning the vice presidency, said: Il
am for my fellow citizen, Colonel Jay
l.. Torrey of Wyoming"
Concerning the qualifications of Colo
mel Torrey, he spoke as follows: He
is Industrious, p~ersevering, able, honest
and conservative.
He was a poor boy, is a man of good
character, has accomplished a marvel
Gus amount of work, resulting in
a great benefit to others, but
not to himself. He spent many
years in securing through congress a
constitutional right to the debtors and
creditors of the country to have an
equitable, humane, honest bankruptcy
law. He originated the Rough Rider
idea and became colonel of n Of the
best regiments in the war. During the
fourteen yeras in which he persevered
in the bankruptcy work, he made the
acquaintance of a very large number of
leading members of the senate and
house and prominent newspaper men.
He has been very largely endorsed by
newspapers throughout the country.
He is a man who can be relied upon
with confidence in every relationship
in life. His name would be a vote get
ter. He is a forceful, earnest and effec-
tive speaker, and hence fills all the re-
quirements in a political sense"
"Who started the movement looking
to his nomination." was asked.
The reply was: who knows? l
! don't. 1t seemed to start itself among
his numerour friends. He came here in
an unselfish work in behalf of relief for
sick soldiers, or ex-soldiers, and his
fitness for the vice presidency was rec

For Building Burlington Extension In

James II. McShane & Co. Of Omaha

building the first fifteen miles of the
Toluca-Cody extension of the Burling-
ton from it's Billings line into the Big
Horn country and c. H. Sharp of Lin
coin has been given the second contract
for a similar amount. The building is
to begin from Toluca out. The total
length of the proposed extension is
about $50 miles.
By July l the McShanes will have
completed their contract on the Brush
extension and will then move their en-
tire force up into Montana. Part of the
force will be moved at once.
1t is not the intention of the Burling-
ton to proceed rapidly with the Toluca-
Cody line this year, the work being
parceled out in small contracts that will
keep the old-time contractors Of the
road making expenses till more active
operations next year. The Toluca end
of the enterprise will be comparatively
