Of the free silver forces in Ohio, with Bryan at
their head would be the mos natural thing IN fhs
world. and it is TO be expected that the political
managers who put Organism and free silver TO the
sword in the Columbus convention would be chiefly
interested in choking off a movement that menaces
the success of the state ticket and threatens to at
least voice the protest of considerable wing oil
the party against the RELOCATION of the money
question in Ohio politics.
There are thousands of Democrats IN this state
who believe in the efficacy of the free coinage OF
silver as a remedy for all our woes they have not
been convinced of the fallacy of their reasoning by
the inexorable logic contained in defeat in two
national campaigns and a half dozen state cam
paigns With Bryan at their head, they are I'M
willing to admit the incorrectness of their position
and are insistent that the old battlecry be again
heard at the front of the advancing column OF the
Ohio democracy With these democrats, for the
sake of party regularity, agree to smother their con-
vctions and lay aside their friendship for the white
metal? The faction of the party that in 1886 and
1900 disagreed with the party deliverance 90 the
financial issue did not do so. In 1896 they voted
for the National Democratic candidates for the
presidency and vice presidency, and in 1900 they
voted direct for the republican candidate for Pres
dent IL is not too much to claim that the free sill
yer contingent are entitled to the same freedom of
political action as the gold democrats Of the state
demanded and exercised in two national cam
paigns.
1t is possible the free silver voters will consid.
er themselves the REGULARS" and the new depart

are merely standing by the cornerstone of the party
faith in the two past presidential campaigns

SOME KIND OF GOVERNMENT.
All Agree That Indian Territory
Should Have 1t.
TREATED LIKE A WHITE MAN."

Washington, Dec. members OF the
| Indian committee of the house and
senate expect the Fifty-scvcnth con-
gress to enact legislation of far reach
ing importance to Indian Territory.
Senator's and representatives agree
that some kind of territorial govern
ment should be provided for the 300, 900
people of the territory who are now
under n government by the federal
courts. The leaders are greatly en-
couraged by the strong words OF the
president in his message that "the time
has arrived when we should definitely
make up our minds to recognize the
Indian as an individual and not as
member of tribe and that 1.-THE In
dian should be treated rs an individual
like the white man.
The secretary of the interior, in line
with the policy of the president, is of
the opinion that congress should pass
a bill establishing territorial form of
government for Indian Territory along
the same general plan as that upon
which the government of Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Arizona is based. He
will bring this subject to the attention
of members of the Indian committee.
Representative Curtis of Kansas, said
that every member of congress who
had investigated the situation has been
convinced that some kind of legislation
TO supplement the laws now in force
was demanded. lie predicted that
when congress took the subject up it
would be found that the most practical
way to deal with conditions there
would be by the passage of a bill
creating a complete territorial form of
government with delegate representa-
ton in congress.

SENATORS ON ANARCHY.
McComas And Hoar Mention Plans to
Control IL,

Washington, Dec. SENATOR Nc
Comas (Md.) made an extended and
carefully prepared speech in the senate
with Anarchy for his theme and was
followed by some brief remarks by Mr..
Hoar Mass on the difficulties in the
way of dealing with Anarchist assas-,
sins. Mr.. McComas spoke of the dan
gerous spread of Anarchy. President
Carnot, Prime Minister Canovas, the
Empress of Austria, King IIumbert and
President Mckinley having been foully
assassinatcd by Anarchists within the
last seven years. 1t was humiliating
he said to consider the impotcncy of
our Federal laws to punish this fearful
crime. lie argued that international
comfy called for action on our part to
suppress the origin of plots in this
country against foreign rulers. Mr.
McComas was accorded close attention
throughout his remarks.
Senator lIoar Mass said the great
difficulty in all these cases of assassina-
ton was that the assassin was willing
and anxious to give up his life. Fear
of consequences did not in any way
deter such an assassin. Every assassin
of II foreign ruler had expected early
and certain death. The Senator be-
lieved that n much more effective
remedy could be secured if by common
consent of all civilized nations some
tract of land somewhere on the carth's
surface, hcmmed in from the outer
world. could be set aside for the con-
fnement of those who counseled the
killing of rulers or the overthrow of

CHAFFEE'S ANNUAL REPORT.
Excellent Foundation Laid Without
Undue Harshness.
HUMANITY OF THE TROOPS.

| Washington. Dee. 9.-ln his first an
nual report General Chaffee sums up
the situation in the Philippines from II
military point of view by stating that
the provinces of liatangas and Laguna,
in Luzon, and the islands of Samar,
| Mindora. Cebu and Bohol constitute
the area now disturbed by any en-
/ bodied force of insurgents. He says
that to the physical character of the
country. to the nature of the warfare
of the rebels, who are amigo and foe in
the self same hour; to the humanity of
the troops, which is taken advantage of
by rebels and the inhabitants who
sympathize with them. and to the fear
of assassination on the part of the
friendly disposed, if they give informa-
ton to the American forces, is due the
prolongation of the guerilla warfare.
1.-The withdrawal of interference
with civil affairs does not contemplate
withdrawal of the troops from their
stations to any considerable extent; on
the contrary this should not be done
hastily. and when undertaken, should
be gradual and more in the nature of
concentration than reduction of force
or abandonment of any considerable
area of territory"
On the subject of the military gov
ernment of the city of Manila General
Chaffee says;
In the government of Manila for
three years. if the military have done
nothing more it is everywhere appar-
cnt that an excellent foundation has
been laid and a turbulent and hostile
community brought to observe the
laws and individually be orderly: this
has been done without any undue
harshness or severity of treatment of
the inhabitants
He recommends that IA permanent
post be constructed at once in the vi
cinity of Manila for garrison of two
squadrons of cavalry, two batteries of
artillery and two full regiments of in
fantry, together with hospital and |
store house, the whole to be under the /
of a Brigadier General.

Denver, Dec. 9.-According to James

is to build dam reaching down TO bed

is that the water. spread on the soil
by Colorado irrigators, flows along
under the soil through Kansas

declaring the presidents treatment of
a grave economic situation as trivial in
form and unsatisfactory in substance,
adding: Ibid we not believe in the
goodness of the presidents intentions,

Vancouver, u. c., Dec. o.-As a
Canadian Pacific freight train was pro-
ceeding east at slow rate around
dangerous curve 400 feet above the
Frazer river, Engineer Randall sud
denly came upon a rick slide, scarcely
fifty yards ahead of him. A signal was
given to the brakeman. and the engine
was reversed but it was too late. The
train was scarcely going five miles an
hour, but the heavy train behind piled
the engine on the rocks and before the
engineer and fireman could jump, the
engine rolled over and over 300 feet
down the sheer bluff toward the river.
Engineer Randall aud Fireman Portuff
were crushed to death beneath the en-
CINE. Three calls were wrecked, going
over the bank after the engine.

Gen. Chafree In Earnest.

Manila. Dec. 9.-Gen. Chaffee has
issued orders for the closing of ali ports
in the Laguna and Batanags provinces.
The quartermasters there will cease
paying rents to the Filipinos for build
ings used for military purposes as it is
known that large portion of the
money finds its way to the insurgents
in the shape of contributions and Gen.
Chaffee intends that no more govern
ment funds shall find their way into
the hands of the enemy. The reason
for closing the ports is that too many
supplies are found to be getting into
the possession of the insurgents.
