C., July 17.—The sen- teiment from every section of the country favorable to tue election of Bryan and Gewall has been growing rapidly within the past twenty-four hours. Not only are such en as Senators Gorman, Jones and Har- — in the Democratic party, advocating united action by the Democrats everywhere in favor of the Chicago nominees, but it mow seems absolutely certain ,that Mr. Bryan will be jndorsed by the Populist Convention, which meets at St. Louis next meek. It will be a hard matter for the so-called gold Democrats to check the tidal wave shat has set in for Bryan and Sewall. Some f the best political prophets in Washing- ton are now free in asserting their belief that Bryan will be the next President of the United States, and it may be stated in this connection that the politicians who made this prediction are men who have received reports from every section of the -country, and absolutely rely 2 — the in- formation they have received, believing in every way that their correspondents voice the sentiment of the people in the differ- ent States of the Union. In this connection it may be said that all the information in Washington to-night from such prominent Democrats as Sena- tors Harris, Jones and others, is to the effect that the Chicago nominees will not only win in the Western and Southern States, but are likely to surprise the Re- publicans and Democrats in the Eastern and Middle States by carrying in the No- vember election ne, Vermont or Mas- pachusetts, and they will also give the McKinleyites a very hard fight in the Em- State. This opinion is not only shared y Democrats in Washington, but by Re- ublican politicians who know the situation In New Vork and New England. Maryland will give nine electoral votes for Bryan and Sewall. More than two months Senator Gorman assured some of his r friends in the Senate thai he would support the Chicago nominee.

He said: have given the best part of twenty ears to the study of the economic and . questions of this country, and I have finally secured my own consent to espouse the cause of free silver. I consider Mr. Bryan, without derogation of other able and statesmanlike candidates, as, per- haps, the best man who could have been nominated by the Chicago convention. “T believe that the future of Democracy depends upon free coinage and I believe that the future of free coinage depends upon the Democracy of this country. believing, I give my vote and voice and influence unreservedly, and with a whole heart, to Bryan and Sewall.“ MR. BLAND SPEAKS. Dpens His Campaign at Jefferson City Ratification Meeting. JEFFDPRSON CITY, Mo., July 17.—There were two large meetings of Democrats yes- terday in this city. At both meetings Mr. Biand spoke. At the afternoon meeting Gov. Stone spoke briefly and Mr. Bland followed. He said he had no language to express his gratitude to the people of Missouri for t interest they have taken in his behalf. Nowhere have I warmer friends than in Jefferson City,“ he said. There o regret on my part that I was not in place of Mr. Bryan. Had it n tendered me I would have accepted as a duty more than a preference.

The Republic Critieised for Booming Bland for Governor. : Special to the Post-Dispatch. | JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 17.~a prominent Democrat to-day, speaking of the Louis Republic's efforts to push Mr. Bland for Governor after his positive statement that he would not under any conceivable cir- cumstances be a candidate, and that he wanted to return to Congress, said: “The Republic is no friend of the silver cause or of Mr. Bland. It hopes to cripple Mr. Stephens in his candidacy for Governor and at the same t:me prevent the return of Mr. Bland to Congress. The owners and managers of the Republic know very well that the failure to send Mr. Bland to Con- gress to continue his fight for the restora- tion of silver and to aid in bringing about legislation of this kind would be a disap- pointment to the Democracy of the nation.“ In this connection it may be interesting to know that Mr. Bland in commenting upon the Republic’s course in pushing him for the Governorship said last evening: J am not a candidatd for Governor. I do not want the. nomination. My friends em- barrass me by insisting that the nomination should be forced upon me. I would nbt ac- cept it if tendered me unanimously. I de- sire to return to Congress. WHITNEY BOLTS. Under No Circumstances Will He Sup- port the Chicago Ticket. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 17.~Having learned that misleading reports as to his attitude were being circulated, Mr. Whitney last night sent the following to the press: “Will you be kind enough to correct the statement that I desire the indorsement by the State organization of the Chicago ticket? “There is no possible condition or circum- stance that would induce me to vote for or assist it. M. C. WHITNEY.” Should the condition of his friend and neighbor, Cornelius Vanderbilt, rmit his departure, Mr. Whitney will sail for Eu- rope to-morrow for a summer trip. Just whep he will return. a matter of con- jecttre, but it is evffent that he intends to let the work of the campaign devolve upon other shoulders than his own. Noth- ing could be learned from Mr. Whitney as to whether in repudiating the Chicago can- didates he intended to vote for McKinle and Hobart or for the third ticket, whic many of his friends are intent upon putting ne iene s thought in some quarters that Mr. Whitney ll be selected by the sound money men as their candidate for the ency. , 4 self and will not do 860 until he has con- ferred with Senator Jones of Arkansas and other Democratic leaders.

Inside History of the Charges of Bri- dery Made Against Filléy by Col. Lib Morse. The indications that Unele Filley will control the Republican State convention next week at Springfield as completely as he did thay at St. Joseph last May multiply daily. , . The fact that De Ole Man” was knocked jout in his struggie for National Commit- teeman last month by a chance blow dis- j couraged his followers not a little a» first and they were inclined to beliéve that he had been placed on the toboggan. But with that wonderful recuperative power which rom ‘his en*rance into politics nearly a {half century ago has been the dismay of his. enemies and the admiration of his friends he has recovered from the stunning blow dealt him in June and is now as chip- per and defiant as ever. With absolute control of the party organi- zation Boga Filley has been enabled to bring into line nearly all the candidates whose names will be presented at Spring- field, and with these as tenders to his ma- chine it seems highly probable that he can muster a clear and safe working majority of the delegates at the State Convention. His cid time and implacable enemy, Col, Dick Kerens, has developed no new strength since the last contest, and it seems like that with the exceptions of the Third and Fourth Congressional Districts the Colonel yi have scarcely any following at Spring- eld. He has worked hard and more syste- matically than ever before in any purely State contest to disintégrate the Filley fol- lowing, but there are no substantial proofs of any degree of ‘ He has been aided by the co d influences of the railroads working tly, but Your Uncle has been able to checkmate: him and these influences at every point save the one at which Col, Lib Morse of Excelsior Spring: broke out the other day with charges of bribery in the contest for National Com- mitteeman inner -gogeip Has leaked out from the of the Kerensit d im it is mh future. | erens' closest friends it was none other than the redoubt- able Fire Alarm Flanagan who furnished the information on which Col Lib Morse, the great mathematician of the Kerens ag- gregation, based his charge of bribery aga‘nst Uncle Filley. Now, under ordinary circumstances, Flan- agan can be depended on to serve Filley faithfully, but in the present fight he is surrounded by extraordinary circumstances. Flanagan is one of Col. Bill Phelps’ army of local attorneys for the Missouri Pacific. He was admitted into all the secrets of the Filléy campaign for National Committee- man. It is he who is said to have pulled from a Puliman berth at midnight near Lebanon, on the Frisco road, the somewhat uncer- tain Col. Jim Davis of Taney County, and by means known only to those intrusted with the execution of the Phelps political methods he secured Davis’ pledge to vote for Filley for National Committeeman. It Is a matter of record that when the critical) moment was reached Davis voted for Ker- ens. A Nothing would have ever been known or said of how Davis was pledged to Filley if “De Ole Man” had not so completely recov- ered himself as to be master of the present situation. Then it became incumbent upon Col. Kerens’ railroad allies to make an ex- posure” of Filley. To do this was easy enough, for did they not have an agent in the 1 · [& ꝛ of Fire Alarm Flanagan in he lley combine that won over Davis? Of course they did, and they used him. They did it in this way: Col. Kerens told Col Bill Phelps that he would have to — to his aid by making Fla an “cough up.“ Col Phelps was nothing loath, but Fire arm Flanagan was. Ade from the innumerable favors Filley had shown him, Flanagan had a sincere regard for De Ole Man.” Bu this was nothing to Col. Bill Phelps. To him the sit- uation .was simple. Flanagan knew’ something that would harm Filley and benefit Kerens. To Flan- agan it then became a matter of “under which King, Bezonian?’’ When Col. Phelps called on him for the de- sired information it was either give it up or lose his job as local attorney in Jasper County of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, Fire Alarm couldn't afford to lose his job in these hard times, and so he coughed up“ to Col. Phelps. Col. Phelps bore the information properly attested to Col. Kerens, and Col. Kerens communicated it to Col. Lib Morse. Hence the latter’s recent interview in the Post-Disatch concerning alleged bribery or attempted bribery in the interest of Filley of cerzain A to the recent Republi- can National Convention. This sto comes to the Post-Dispatch from one of Col. Kerens’ closest and most trusted friends and its authenticity cannot be doubted. But so far the has done Boss Filley no appreciable harm. It is doubtful that it would have hurt him even if it had come out weeks ago. But nearly all the delegates to Springfield had been elected when Col. Lib Morse let it out, and Filley never elects or permits to be elected any considerable number of delegates who are liable to be influenced against him by such charges. “exposure” Young Mr. Webster Davis ia going to be beautifully rolled by the Filleyites at Springfield.

I very much fear that unless he agrees to accept the nomination for Governor we will exper- lence a good deal of difficulty in bringing Missouri up with its usual majority this year. Bland owes this sacrifice to the party. “With his name at the head of the State ticket we can carry fourteen Congressional districts for free coinage, while five or six of them will be jeopardized with anybody ‘else as our leader. His accéptance of the nomination would also assure the a- ture and that means the saving of a United States Senator.“ TO SPEAK IN ALABAMA. Gov.

It Gave $10,000 for Both Conventions and Dealt Only With the Pop- ulists’ Representatives. A nice little controversy is going on be- tween the Executive Committees of the Populist and silver parties and the Citizens’ Committee over the distribution of funds to defray the expenses of the two conven- tions. The Citizens’ Committee insists that it should not be drawn into the controversy, as the contract for the holding of the two conventions here was made with the Pop- -ulist Committee, and that the fund was a lump sum for both conventions. In other. words, the only party the Citizens’ Com- mittee had any dealings with was the Pop- ulists, and the silver men are unknown to it so far as expenses are concerned, and the silver men must look to the Populists for aid in that line, if they get any. The sum to be devoted to the Populists by the citizens was $10,000, and that is all they will get. | Chairman J. J. Mott of the National 8il- ver party went to the Citizens’ Committee and was told that he would have to look to the Populists, as his party was not a party to the convention contract, further than it was to be furnished Grand Music Hall to meet in. 5 Chairman Mott said Friday: “When I went to Chairman Taubeneck in regard to the matter he told me that it was imposs ble for him to divide any of the funds sub- scribed by the c‘tizens ause it was not more than half the Populists would need. “That is true, for the indications are there will be quite as many people here to the Populist Convention as there were at the Republican Convention. “I was also told by representatives of the Citizens’ Committee that while they would like to assist us they were wholly unable to do so because they had lost heavily on the Republican Convention, which, with the heavy drafts made on them for cyclone sufferers, had exhausted their funds for contributions.

NEW YORK, July 17.—The rally in stocks to-day was attended by revived rumors of an impending new Governmend bond issue. It was again alleged that representative financiers had been in conference with As- the subject. The story wend that the Treas- ury officials and the Pres'dent believed that an issue of bonds would soon be necessary and that bonds could be marketed to bet- ter advantage now man later, and that the political effeet of such a step would have practically worn off by election time. The appearance of Mr. Curtis at the Sub-Treas. report, especially in view of a strong and active market for Government bonds this morning. Bankers usually identified with the financial measures of the Administra- Non and members of the old Government bond syndicates discredited the report. — — DELMONT DIDNT COME INTO COURT.

The first Bryan banner of the Populist | Convention is that unfurled by the Popu- lists of Oklehoma. , It is swung across Washington avenue in | front of the Lindell Hotel, On it in large letters is this: OKLAHOMA POPULIST HEADQUARTERS. — — FOR BRYAN. At the headquarters in charge of the Bryan movement on behalf of the People’s party of Oklahoma is Delegate Bailey. He is one of the leaders in Oklahoma, as he has been in Kansas, where he managed the campaign of Jerry Simpson when he made his first entry in national politics. Mr. Bailey is enthusiastic for Wm. J. Bryan. He is backed by the solid delega- tion from Oklahoma. To demonstrate that there is no super- gtitious prejudice in the Populist party in Oklahoma, Mr. Batley tas engaged room at the Lindell. From that point will be d!- rected the movement to unite all the forces which beliéve in free silver and to urge the fight under the banner of Bryan and Sewall. Oklahoma is not standing alone. The entire West and Southwest wll be with it and for Bryan. Arkansas, which has been credited to the enti-Bryan Wing, is going, to line up for Bryan. : Missouri has spoken in favor of him, though the machine wing of the party is making a futile endeavor to stem ‘the tide. United States Senator Allen and Gov. Holcomb head the Nebraska delegation which will reach here Sunday. Its Bryan Standard will at once be placed alongside tha? of Oklahoma. . Utah and Colorado—the home of Senator Teller—will have their Bryan banners fiy-. ing as soon as they reach St. Louis. Indeed, if it should become necessary it is even likely that Senator Teller will come to St. Louis zo lend his powerful in- fluence to the movement for Bryan and Sewell. The anti-Bryan shouters were dismayed Friday as they began to see clearly the drift to an indorsement of the Chicago nominees. The sentiment was nearly all one way. It became a positive assurance that the „machine“ shouters, the members of the National Executive Commitee and of the Nationa: Committee, who have been vainly trying to turn the convention into the pathway blazed for ds by the Populists in office, would be overwhelmingly defeated. George F. Washburn of Boston, Mass., chairman of the National Finance Com- mittee, member of the Executive Com- mittee and chairman of the eastern dtvision of the People’s party, was one of the lead- ers at National headquarters Friday. He wears a tourist cap and a diamond stud, and is outspoken for a union of all the forces which believe in free silver. „We have been inviting this fight for four years,” said Committeeman Wasaburn, in speaking of the financial question. “Now that it has come, we should unite our forces. “The sound money men are all standing They are united for the single I cannot speak authoritative- tor the Eastern States, because I believe ey will come to the convention divided 2 . d standard. t on the main proposition. „I believe that we should unite on the ticket, and while I am not willing to aban- don any of our principles, we should com- omise on the best terms possible.“ While the Boston leader would not say positively that be was for an indorsement of Bryan and Sewall, his declaration for a union of all free silver forces created a anic in the small body of claquers’ who cave been hoarsely shouting: in the middle of the road!“ Popular sentiment for Bryan is crowd- ing them near the ditch. It will bring the West in solid for Bryan. That it has gone East as well is shown both by the declaration of Washbatrn and the action of the Populists in the District of Columbia. They have declared for Bryan and Sewall, and Carl Browne, the giant Coxeyite who tred to trample beneath his brogans all the blue grass about the Capitol, will head the delegation. Arrivals of delegates Friday numerous. The majority of those Came were for an indorsement of Bryan. If Sergeant-at-Arms McDowell of the Populist National Committee has his way it will not cost a fortune for Apectators to attend the People’s Party Convention. He wants the price of each ticket, which — 4 were not who ntitles the holder to three sessions daily, s0 many be held, fixed at $1.

There was a hot fight on the fourth floor of the Insurance buiiding, Broadway and Olive, Friday morning, that narrowly es- caped being a tragedy. The belligerents were J. P. Webb, who has a coal office in room 84, and August Taussig of the coal firm of Stephan & Taussig, 515 Pine street. The battle was brief, but bloody. Webb insulted Taussig, who hurled a heavy cuspidor at his head, peeling off a few inches of skin and besmearing his spotless linen with its contents. Webb is the smaller of tye two, but he was game, and drawing his knife he made a dash at his hig antagonist, who ran down the hall and sprang into the doorway of A. M. Blanchard's studio, slamming the door after him. The fight began out in the hallway. Blanchard's studio is next door to Webb’s office. Webb tried to burst the door in but could not. Taussig held it fast. Webb sheathed his gleaming blade and went to his office, where a bundle of laun- dry had been delivered a short time be- fore. He bathed off the filth and slime of the cuspidor, donned a clean „ and sallied forth. In the meantime Tauesig left the studio and went to his Pine street office. Webb could not be segn, but his office boy said that the cut on the back of his head was not a very bad one. Taussig, when seen, mad any difficulty. with Webb. saying that it was some other Taussig. Finding that his blufting denial would not go, he became indignant and refused to give any of the detaiis of the fight, but would not deny the statements given above as told by the people who witnessed it. Taussig did say that Webb owes him a large bil „ and that he went to collect it. Webb's office boy stated that when Tauasig came in Webb asked him to walk out in the hall. They talked for several minutes in a low tone, and trouble began when Taussig hurled the cuspidor. Artist Blanchard, into whose office Taus- sig ran and shut himself in, though busily at work on the portrait of a young man in an adjoining room, knew nothing of the fight. Mr. Blanchard is very deaf and did not hear Taussig’s rush. The young man who was having his features outlined did, but he feared to move a muscle lest the artist's brush should go astray, so he only heard what went on. No arrests. THE FREAKS FIGHT.

Report of the Supervisor of Cit re bong shows the rate of restoration — lights and wire and pole permits issued. ‘The complaint made before the Board of Public Improvements by residents of the cyclone district falls under Sec. 17 of the specifications which provides: „Sec. 17. Arrangements must be made by which the lights can be speedily restored, if any part of the system is disabled. In case of accident to the plant, whereby the supply of electricity with:n any circuit ig reduced below the demand, the street and public place lighting must be given the preference over light and power contract- ed to private parties or corporations. “Under this section and the complaint thereunder, the matter divides into two dis. tinct cases, viz., first, speedy restoration of lights, and, second, preference of public over private lighting. Contract 2,1/6—It appears from the state- ment of the Ed‘son Illuminating Company of St. Louis, submitted to the Board in re- Sponse to request for information as to the amount of work done in 8 the lights disabled and put out of service by the cyclone, and the report of the Supervisor of City Lighting that from the date of the storm up to June 8 rapid progress was made in restoring the lights, but since that time a much slower rate has been maintained. Judging from the progress made during the last thirty-five days, your committee finds that it will take until the Ist of Octo- ber to fully restore all of the arc lights un- der this contract. It further appears that but very little private lighting was done. “Contract 2177.—The statement of the Mis- souri Electric Light and Power Company and the report of the Supervisor of City Lighting show that under this contract 390 incandescent alley and street lights out of a total of 1742 were in service on June 12. On July 11 a total of 740 lights were in serv- ice, being 41% per cent of the total. “The incandescent lights for public build- ings were practically restored by June 19 At the rate of progress during the interval, June 12 to July 11. the incandescent street and alley lighting will be restored by the middle of October next. . In relation to private lighting, we find from the contractor's statement that 7 per pal of the private buildings have been re- 7. Vour committee finds from the report of the Supervisor of City Lighting that the claim of me contractors as to delay in 8 permits is not well founded, and that the failure of the Bell Telephone Co. or any other party to erect poles or grant privileges thereon can not be accepted as a valid excuse for delay in res*oring lights. “Your: committee is of the opinion that the present rate of progress is unsatisfac- tory and not in full accord with the spirit and inwentions of contracts 2176 and 2177. Four committee is further ¥ the opin- fon that the requirements of section 17 of the ecifications under contract No. 2177 relating do preference of public over Eerste lighting has not been complied with y the M‘ssouri Electric Light and Power herewith: “In conclusion your committee recom- mends that the Edison Illuminating Co. of St. Louis, contractors under contract No. 2,176, and the Missouri Electric Light and Power Co., contractors under contract No. 2,177, be each given the notice contempated and provided for by Section P of their re- spective contracts. “M.

This is not because Herr Loule Wagner is proprietor, nor because the food is rough and scant, nor that the guards are not up on parlor etiquette, but because at night the whole building is attacked by an enormous number of rats, and should a prisoner happen to have no food in his cell when he goes to bed the marauding rodents nibble at his flesh. When Alfred L. Avery, the embezzler, was taken to the penitentiary several months ago, he stopped in Mr. Wagner's office and told him that the jail was all right with the exception of the rats. Avery entered a protest to being served as a banquet for the vicious animals. Maud Lewis, the slayer of State Senator Pete Morrissey, stood it in jail for a while and then wrote a note to a man who subse- quently became her bondsman, and this was a sentence in the note: „The rats are eating me alive. Unless I get out of here soon the rats will execute me by dvvouring me before I am acquitted of the murder.“ Thai sentence secured bond for the woman who was afterwards convicted and sen- senna to fifteen years in the penitentiary. The dase is now before the Supreme Court. Last Tuesday afternoon an army of over 2,000 rats attacked six plumbers at a sewer opening in the city jail, and before the men had escaped from the hole they had killed over sixty of them. Double Murderer Arthur Duestrow written letters and notes to his attorney, ex-Gov. Johnson, tel him he was liter- ally being eaten alive by the rodents, that he was bleeding from a score of bites on his body, and that he was afraid of blood poisoning. The best illustration of the plague, for that i4 what it is, is given in a letter writ- ten by Amos Custer, a Federal prisoner arrested at Poplar Bluff, Mo., several months ago and locked jn-a cell in the St. Louts jail to await trial on a charge of flicit distilling. ~~ In his letter to his wife Custer said: “Of course it is pretty hard oe alon without you, Sadie, but it wouldn't hal so hard if there weren't any rats in his prison. My cell is on the third floor and in the dead of nigh: thousands of rats scamper over the ironwork and enter every cell, ransacking it and feeding on the flesh of the sleeping prisoners. “More man once have I awakened to find my unwelcome bedfellow a vicious rodent who was gnawing into my flesh and sucking up the blood. Many a battle have I waged in my cell at the dead of night with an army of these rats who persistet in entering through *he steel lattice work of the barred door and who positively re- fused to vacate until their = gues ag had been satisfied. And these fall rats have appetites worse than an Arkansas burro. I think I would prefer to plead guilty and take two years in the penitentiary to re- maining here another month.” Dollie Mitchell, colored, was sentenced to six months in the jail sometime ago for ciut- ting and killi ames Miliward, a white teamster. Dollie served two weeks of her Court to have the senteneed:. m jail the Work-house. * ‘ med strange as in the jail she did not have to work, she had an apparent- ly pleasant place to stay and the food in the jail is certainly better than that at the Work-house, But her time at works,“ knowing she woul have to work hard each day. Thomas Gordon, the colored man who took her petition to Judge Edmunds, says that Dollie desired to change because in the 1 the rats were eating her up alive. She described to him the picture of the horde of rats running over the jail, pouring out from the sewer openings and mak for the grated doors of the 360 celle and forcing an These rats are enormous ones. Some of them are as large as half-grown cats and their tails are the size of a clothes line. They are extremely venomous and thirst for blood. Jaller Wagner at one time bought about ten half-starved an turned them loose in the jail to tch the rats. The next morning only the skinned and teeth-scratched bones of the felines could be found. Be | had been met, at- tacked, conquered and devoured by the -attack on the prisoners. Parmies of rats, who left only the skeleton behind. During the day these rats sleep in the sewers and in their own caves, which they have dug under the foundations of the bastile, and at night they are ready for the onslaught. The question of exterminating these ro- dents ig a serious one, No plan has as yet been devised which will clean them out. They are increasing in numbers each day, and if permitted to live it will be necessary to abandon the jail, as they will eat the prisoners alive. 7 SHE CAN'T LEAVE. Amison’s Mistress Is Being Watched by Detectives and Chief Desmond Is at Work. — The home of Mrs. Whalen, 6228 Odell ave- nue, the aunt of Mary E, Cleary, the mis- tress of Albert E. Amison, the murdered saloonkeeper, is being shadowed by de- teétives and the movements of Mrs.“ Amison are being watched, Thie is the result of an audience Chief Desmond had with the Coroner’s witnesses in the case late Thursday afternoon, When Assistant Chief Kiely reviewed the case to Chief Desmond Thursday the latter was desirous of talking to all of the wit- nesses. Accordingly Mra.““ Amison was brought in from her aunt’s home. Mrs. Campbell, Wilson and her son, who live over the Amison flat at 2319 e street, were at the interview, as was also Amison’s „ Henry 8 Mrs. Campbell told the, chief the name story she first ted by Mrs. told to a rter and ar Ste it was an the ie e 4 ee has | Ysa liie insisted on oorving ac Three persons were bitten and the entire neighborhood panic stricken Thursday aft- rernoon at Ware and Washington avenues by a stray yellow cur that was first noticed in the fron» yard of John Boniface’s res- dence, 3424 Washington avenue. John Boniface was one of the victims, L. A. Miller, who lives at the same number, another, and 17-year-old Ysabellé Swift, daughter of Vice-President John 8. Swift of the Beck & Corto Iron Co., living at 3507 Washington avenue, was the third. The little girl was not badly bitten, her dress protecting her so tha» the skin was not lacerated and only a bruise showed where the dog’s teeth sank. ? Until a policeman killed the animal with his club and revolver, after narrowly es- caping the animal's fangs himself, cons:d- erable excitement prevailed and grown people and chhdren went scurrying to places of shelter. Whether the animal was rabid or not could not be determined by those who ob- served him. . The neighborhood is divided on the ques- tion, Messrs. Boniface and Miller, who were quite badly bitten, had their wounds caut- erized. Milller is quite apprehensive and talks of t ng the Pasteur treatment at New: York. Boniface scouts the idea of hydro- Phobia. The neighborhood has been infested with stray curs for some time and the resi- ‘dents have been loud in their complaints at the neglect of the dog-catchers, fearing just such an experience as they went through Thursday. No one was expecting it, though, when it came. Some of the residents state that the animal was haunt- ing the neighborhood all afternoon. While it seemed to act queerly no one suspected that it would develop the vicious traits evinced later. The first seen of it by Mrs. John Bon- iface was when she went out on the front steps after supper about 7 o’clock.. r. Boniface and Mr. Miller were sit- ting on the 4 Mrs. Boniface noticed the cur lying in the grass in the front yard, We have company,” remarked Mrs. Bon- iface to her husband, Mr. Boniface went out and called the dog. He leaned over to pet it and the dog ea up. Mr. Boniface thought the ani- mal was showing its ap reciation of the attention and held out his hand. With a bound the dog was upon him, fastening its fangs in his left thigh. Twice it sank its teeth into the flesh, before Mr. Boniface could shake him off. Then the dog rushed at Mr. Miller, who had come down into the yard, and bit him in the leg. Then it trotted off 1 almlessly and zig-zagging along the sidewalk. In front of 3507 Washin ger the street in the next — on avenue, lock, two Lt - irls were playing. One of them was le Swift.

F fterward the dog trotted etreet and lay down in the of The Franklin, 3516 and 3618 Washing- ton avenue. By this time the neighborhood was aroused, and cries of mad dog arose. People ran hither and ‘thither to get out of ‘the way. When it was found that the animal was Seana uletly a crowd gathered in front of he Peanklin, but kept at a respectful distance, and numerous suggestions were advanced for getting rid of the dangerous brute. Mr. Snowdon had meanwhile gone in search of a policeman to kill the animal. He went several blocks without finding one, across thé rass in front and then telephoned to the Four Courts. | While he was telephoning a policeman en- tered the drug store and asked if he were wanted. Mr. Snowdon took him over to where the dog lay. A crowd still surrounded the dog. The po- liceman pushed his way through, He stop- ped to ascertain if possible whether the dog Tl bid. The animal lay quite still. During all the excitement he had creatéd he had not emitted a growl. Only a stone agg surrounded the yard in front of The anklin. The policeman put one foot on the copi and leaned over to get a better view of the animal. It sprang at his face. The policeman had taken the precau- tion to draw his club before venturin near, and a blow from the club doubl the dog up before it could reach his face. Then the policeman stunned it with a blow on the head, and, dragging in into the street, killed it with a bullet from his revolver. Meanwhile Messrs.

The trouble that the city now has to face in-regard to the removal of what is known as commercial garbage seems to be the result of a mistake previously made. At the time the contract with the Sanitary Company was entered into, the company should have been bound to re- move all garbage, without discrimina- tion. It ig doubtful, indeed, if the con- tract making discrimination against com- mercial garbage is lawful. The revised ordinance evidently contemplated no such discrimination, but enacts that the contractors shal] remove all garbage from the districts covered by their contracts. It was a mistake to permit certain kinds of garbage to be dumped in the river after the Merz reduction system had been inaugurated. If one company could not handle all the garbage, bids should -have been invited from others. Now that a sanitary method of disposing of the city’s refuse has been found, it would be a disgrace to St. Louis to permit the dumping of this matter into the river any longer. If the St. Louis Sanitary Company can- not be compelled to haul and reduce this commercial garbage, bids should at once be asked for from other concerns. The problem must be met, and it is probable that when the Sanitary Company finds competition likely. to be created, it will come to terms with the city. „N. R. B.“ MATL.

The alleged “abuse” is contained in the following plank of the platform: Until the mohey question is settled we are opposed to any agitation for further changes in our tariff laws, except such as are necessary to make up the deficit. in revenue caused by the adverse decision of the Supreme Court on the income tax. But for this decision. by the Supreme Court there would be no deficit in the revenue un- der the law passed by a Democratic Con- gress, in strict pursuance of the uniform decisions of that court for nearly one hun- dred . years, that court having eustained constitutional objections to its enactment which have been overruled by the ablest judges who ever sat on that bench. We declare that it is the duty of Congress to use all the constitutional power which re- mains after that decision, or which may come from ita reversal by the court as it may hereafter be constituted, so that the burdens of taxation may be equally and im- partially laid, to the end that wealth may bear its due proportion of the expenses of the Government. Compare this temperate and conserva- tive language with that used by the As- sociate Justices of the Supreme Court in dissenting from the decision of the ma- jority. These opinions dre on record as a part of the archives of the Supreme Court, and were given at the time the vide publication which their importance merited. Justice Brown said, in a care- fully written opinion: The decision involves nothing less than the surrender of the taxing power to the moneyed class. While I have no doubt that Congress will find some means of surmount- ing the present crisis, my fear is that in some moment of national peril this decision will rise up to frustrate its will and para- lyze its arm. I hope it may not prove the first step toward the submergence of the liberties of the people in a sordid despotism of wealth. Justice Harlan said: a In my judgment this decision strikes at the very foundations of national authori- ty, in that it denies to the General Gov- ernment a power which is, or may be at some time, imperatively needed, in a great emergency, eay in case of war. The practical if not the direct effect of the de- cision to-day is to give to certain kinds of property a position of favoritism and ad- vantage that is inconsistent with the fun- damental principles of our social organi- zation, and to invest them with power and influence that is perilous to that portion of the people upon which rests the larger part of the burdens -of the Government, and who ought not to be bubjected to the domina tion of aggregated wealth any more than the property of the country should be at the mercy of the lawless. Justice White said: The injustice of the conclusion points to the error of adopting it. It takes the in- vested wealth and reads it into the Consti- tution as a fawored and protected class of property, whilst it leaves the occupation of the minister, the doctor, the professor, the lawyer, the inventer, the author, the mer- chant, and all,the various for of human activity upon which the prosperity of a people must depend, subject to taxation without apportionment. Justice Jackson said that he concurred fully in the opinion expressed by Justice White, and declared that the decision reverses the common rule of taxation, by exempting those who are best able to pay, and forcing the burden upon the shoul- ders of those who least able to pay.” In concluding, Justice Jackson said that, in his opinion, the decision was “the most disastrous blow ever struck at the constitutional power of Congress. It ‘struck down an important, vital and essential power of the Government. It left the Government, in case of necessity, without power to reach by taxation in any form the vast incomes derived from the real and personal property of the country.” 7 These criticisms, bear in mind, are the exact language used by Associate Jus- tices of the Supreme Court itself. In comparison with them the language of the Chicago platform is so temperate as to be noteworthy. Commenting upon the attempt to discredit the platform on this score, the New York Journal says: The mild implied criticism of the majori- ty of the Supreme Court, or rather of the one Justice who changed his mind, was thoroughly well deserved, and might have been made much stronger without impro- priety. Since when have we been endowed with infallible judges whose acts are above oriticiem? If the edvocacy of the just and ecientific principle of taxation gf large in- comes is Anarchistic, then every statesman in England is an Anarchist, and instead of searching the cellars of the Houses of Par- uament for barrels of gunpowder, the au- thorities ought to the pockets of every member for bombs. The income tax is the backbone of the British financial sys- tem. It is about to be introduced, in a graduated form at that, into France, and it | already exists in its most extreme degree in Germany. . There is no “abuse of the Supreme Court” in thé Chicago platform. There is no incitement to lawlessness. All these untruthful are refuted, by the mere reading of the platform itself. THE JEFFERSON CLUB. The Jefferson Club did not belie its name last night, in spite of the crooked and secret work of the Wall Street Dem- ocrats and McKinley men to stampede it for Wall Street. The club was surprised, but the gold conspirators did not win the victory they expected. They were beaten two to one.

While the delegates to the Delaware Republican Convention were breaking chairs over one another they managed, in a lull in their racket, to denounce the Chicago platform as a menace to peace and good order. ee Democratic officeholders should not al- low themselves to be trammeled by the Administration. Probably a great many of them will vote right when the time comes, though they may be a little timid just now. Party names are of little importance when the interests of a great people are at stake. We want for President an honest man who will not be controlled by selfish combines and corrupt poli- ticians.

The organs whose extravagant vitupera- tion of the Chicago ticket and platform has shocked the ‘community’s sense of fairness and decency seem to have forgotten that the election is nearly four months off. A campaign of that length cannot be carried through by a shriek, especially a false one. When the voters hear that a great, historic party, which has ruled the country for sixty out of the 107 years of our exist- ence under the national constitution, and which at the last election polled nearly half a million more votes than its nearest com- petitor, has suddenly become a collection of Anarchists, cut-throats and lunatics, they will feel a desire to see the evidence on which these monstrous charges rest. When they find that the platform adopted by the convention was not incendiary, but with the exception of the financial plank was moderate, well-considered and cautiously progressive, and. that the elements supposed to represent revolutionary ideas were help- less and in disrepute, they will take the ravings of our reactionary contemporaries for what they are worth.

Mr. Eggers’ office is next to t of the Co- roner and when Annie saw the Assistant City Atsorney she stralghtway fell in love with him. Since then life to him has been a burden. She follows him everywhere he goes. She doesn’t care if he does order her out of the building and say unpleasant things to nher. She sticks to him like a porous gens | bili and delights to sit in Police Court watch Mr. Eggers prosecute a case. Thursday noon Mr. Eggers wanted to go to lunch, and his money was locked in his desk. He knew Annie was waiting there for him, and had misgivings about running the gauntlet. He almost had a notion to go hungry, but finally the pangs of acute hunger drove him to his office for money. He got it and Annie started out to lunch with him. Eggers tried to get away from her and rushed through Judge Harvey’s court-room while a trial was in progress. He did not cause much excitement by walking rap- idly through the room, but when Crazy Annie rushed in, tore by the lawyer’s ta- bles and cried for Eggers to stop there was pandemonium. The judge arose from his seat, the Deputy Sheriff rapped for order, and while several other deputies ran after the girl ‘the jurors forgot all about the trial of Lee Shelton, alias Stack Lee, for murder, and enjoyed a good laugh.

Newport Will Not Reopen—Detroit, Milwaukee and Other Tracks Have Had Enough. zs BA This seems to be an off“ year in racing. There is hardly one racing association wor- thy of the name that is not complaining of poor patronage at the gate and in the ring. Monetary losses have caused several of them to close down, and not a few of the big tracks are thinking of following suit. The local meeting at the Fair Grounds has not achieved the success that it de- served and that the people wished it. Still, it has come out a whole lot better than several others, motably Oakley, Latonia, Newport, Gravesend, Detroit and Milwau- kee, Indeed, barring the little merry-go- rounds in the Indiana tin-cup row, the Fair Grounds has run a more successful race meeting from a financial point of view than any track in America, Aé far as the qual- ity, quant:ty and honesty of the sport fur- nished, the Fair Association has no com- petitors. St. Louis has had the best and cleanest meeting ever given in the United States. It looks as if the game has been over- done, not only here but in Cincinnati, Bal- timore, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, in fact everywhere the thoroughbred can run, On top of the Fair Association’s declara- tion of continuation comes the news from Cincinnati that Newport will not open up when Oakley closes down. Cincinnati turf- goers will, therefore, have a respite of a lew weeks. Newport’s opening, instead of taking place on Aug. 3, will probably be postponed until |. two weeks later. There are a good many circumstances, however, surrounding the Cincinnati racing and pool room situation which may lead to a change of present plans It is whispered that three of the Covington pool rooms—Simonton’s, the White House and Suburban—will reopeh as soon as Latonia closes. The pool room question cuts more ice in Porkopolis racing matters than a casual view would indicate, The “Big Four’ syndicate and anti Big Four“ pool room men are interested in the rival tracks and rival pool rooms. What one does is sure to meet with a retort from the other. There seems to be no end to the friction. If the Big Four“ return to Cov- ington to open pool rooms and the Antis“ are out, they will probably determine to open their track at Newport for the foreign book privilege and run in opposition. SENATOR O’BRIEN’S MARKERS. The Case Will Be Taken Up by the Ex- ecutive Committee Next Tuesday. Special to the Post-Dispatch. CINCINNATI, July 17.—The case of ex- Senator J. S. O’Brien, the Minnesota turf- man and lumberman, for neglecting to take up $15,000 in ‘‘markers” due the Latonia ring, was to have come up before the exec- utive committee of the club on Tuesday, but owing to the absence of several of the committee, action was postponed until next Tuesday. It is the general impression that the Minnesota turfman and his horses will be suspended from the turf until he has taken up his markers. Senator O’Brien did not appear as ordered, but sent a long let- ter from St. Louis, detailing his views. He held that the Jockey Club had no jurisdic- tion in the matter—that it was simply a business transaction between himself and the bookmakers. The Minnesota man does not deny the markers. This leaves the question to be decided by Latonia’s exec- utive committee simply one of jurisdiction. If they decide that it is within their power to inforce the payment of markers,“ O’Brien and his horses will be suspended until the turf debts are paid. Hard on Turf Offenders. Last week was a hard one on turf offend- ers, says George Davies. Jockey Murphy, who aided the arithmetical performers on the Indiana sand-dunes to perform acro- batics that discounted the Nelson family, will ride no more—at least not until some erson with a ‘“‘pull” goes to the front for im after public interest has subsided.

LONDON, July 17.—The Chronicle pub- lishes a dispatch from Constantinople, which asserts that a massacre has occurred at Egin in the Diarbekir district of Ar- menia, in which 400 persons were killed and the city was pillaged. The Turkish author- ities are trying to keep the report of a massacre secret, according to the Chron- icle’s correspondent.

It is evident that Mr. Ar- thur Balfour’s health and mismanagement will soon lead him to retire to the House of Lords.

KICK. MR. REBENACK WAS AMENABLE TO PUNISHMENT. VIEWS OF EMINENT COUNSEL. 6 Although Not a Member of the Schoo? Board This Plea Would Not Have Saved Him From Jail. Since the Supreme Court ousted H. H. Rebenack from the Schoo] Board an awful suspicion has arisen that Mr, Rebenack was wrongfully imprisoned for contempt of the Supreme Court, when he and his fellow- factional Republicans sojourned at Jeffer- son City for ten days. The suspicion is based upon the announce- ment by the Supreme Court that Rebe- nack at no time has been legally a School Director. If R@enack was not a School Director at the time he refused to do what the Supreme Court ordered the School Directors to do, how could he be rightfully punished? That question ig being asked by all Mr. Rebenack's friends. who failed 0 see any logic in his punishment even before he was ousted from the board. Mr. Rebenack himself cannot understand it. He has been considerably worried to think that his im onment was all for naught and that he mighd have escaped by merely confessing at the time that he was not actually a School Director, but merely posing ‘as one to see how far he could carry the joke without the public getting onto him, : In order to reMieve Mr. Rebenack’s mind a Post-Dispatch reporter interviewed prom- nent lawyers to learn whether he hadn’t just cause for complain? against the Su- preme Court. One of the gentlemen questioned was Chester H. Krum, whose efforts resulted in Mr. Rebenack’s removal from the board. Mr. Krum thought Mr. Rebenack had no kick coming. “While Mr. Rebenack was not a School Director de ig said Judge Krum, de was a School Director de facto. Any offi- cial act performed by a de facto officer, one having color of office, is binding. That being the case, a de facto officer is amen- able to prosecution for official acts that are unlawful.” This opinion of Mr. Krum’s was calculat- ed to ease Mr. Rebenack’s mind, but in order that there might be no suspicion of- 828 prejudice on the ground that Mr. rum had just finished prosecuting Mr, Rebenack, an opinion was sought from Mr. Charles Nagel, who belongs to the same political party with Mr. Rebenack. Mr. agel’s views coincided with those of the other attorney. In fact, Mr. Nagel seemed to consider the question such a simple one as to be surprised that Mr. Rebenack would worry over it at all. 5 „There is no question about it at all, said Mr. Nagel. „Mr. Rebenack was in effect a member of the School Board and his official acts even while usurpirg the office were binding. He could be punished for what he did while acting as a school “director.” As the reporter progressed the assurance increased that Mr. Rebenack had no reason to blame himself for not having pleaded in- a8 in order to avoid going to jail. The School Board’s fountain head of law, Mr. Charles B. Stark, was one of those who declared that Mr. -Rebenack’s not havin been legally a member of the boar had nothing to do with his sojourn in jail. Mr. Stark did all he could to save Mr. Rebe- nack from the humiliation, and no doubt if ineligibility had been a defense to the charge of contempt and Mr. Rebenack had been willing to fess up, it would have been pleaded. 40 from Mr. Stark, therefore, con- ; ation of the opinions of Mr. Krum and Mr. Nagel, is valuable and serves as an „ e balm to the feelings of Mr. Rebe- nack. Mr. Stark wished it distinctly understood that he would not criticise the Supreme Court, and said: The fact that Mr. Rebenack has been de- clared a usurper in the board has no effect upon the ey of his imprisonment for contempt. e was performing all the duties of a School Director, atd all his official acts performed prior to the judgment of ouster against him are binding. Therefore he was amenable to punishment for such acts as were considered by the Court to merit pun- ishment.’’. To further reassure Mr. Rebenack that his imprisonment was according to law and that he had no cause for regret so far as the defense he put up was concerned, the reporter interviewed a lawyer who has been connected in no way with the exciting inci- dents fraught with such consequences for Mr. Rebenack. The gentleman was Mr. James P. Kerr, who cited cases to show that Mr. Rebenack, in usurping the office of School Director, at the same time usurped the oportunity to be- come a guest of the State as a result of of- ficial 83 * 9 If the acts of public officials, even though not rightfully holding office’ were not binding.“ said Mr. Kerr, “public busi- ness would become involved in inextricable confusion. Take thé case of a justice of the peace elected by fraud and who is oust- ed after several months. All the decisions rendered by him must be binding. So in the case of other officers. There are nu- merous cases deciding this question. One of them in the books is that of Vail against Pipkin. The latter was thought to have been elected Judge of the circuit south of here. Vail contested and was finally seated. All the acts performed by Pipkin while wrongfully occupying the judicial po- sition were declared by the Supreme Court to be binding. A de facto official, whether an officer by right or not, is always an- swerable for his official acts until divested of his title. Therefore, the fact that Mr. Rebenack was usurping the position of School Director when he was cast into jail has no bearing on the legality of the pun- ishment.”’ These profound and serious opinions on the Rebenack case will undoubtedly relieve that gentleman of the self-reproach that — NO CONSUMPTIVE WILL DIE As Long As He Can Digest and Assimilate Food. All physicians admit this. Yet here the difficulty begins. How can we build up the consumptive’s body as fast as the disease tears it down? Let us consider. Cough mixtures must be avoided, because they frequently contain opiates which arrest the diges- tion. Their only effect on the cough is by stupefy- ing the nerves. Let them alone. All foods that are hard to digest must be avoided, especially fats and oils. Only those foods that are easily digested and assimilated should be eaten. Foods not thus accepted by. nature do no good; they do harm. Not what is merely eaten but what is digested and assimilated gives flesh and strength. Consumption is starvation, slow or rapid, as may be. The first symptom is not necessarily a cough, but a tendency to lose flesh, to gtow thin. Stop this tendency now. Don't wait for obvious lung trouble. That's only a later development—only a minor point. Stop the wasting and you master the dises even though it may have made some slight inroads already, Increase the flesh and the danger is past. What is needed is an especially-prepared food, a nutriment in itself and-a digester of other foods. Such an article is the Shaker Digestive Cordial, made by the Shaker Community, of Mt. Lebanon, N. IT. It creates a natural appetite and insures the digestion of what is eaten with it. It overcomes the wasting which is fatal in the consumptive process, then proceedings will be duly instituted in rs. * i rob Mr. Rebenack, however, argument which, chat might have stood Bim “in” good. stead Mr. Jessie Engel has a better chance than ever to defeat Mr. nack for the Republican nomination, | ‘ KILLED ON PAPER. Gomez and Maceo Dead and Garcia : Badiy Wounded. HAVANA, July 17.~—-The Spaniards are still busy killing or wounding Cuban leaders by report. Semi-official Santiago de Cuba advices reaffirm the death of Jose Maceo. It is denied that he was killed in battle, the reports alleging that he was court-martialed and shot for insubordination at the order of Calixto Garcia, with the approval of Max- imo Gomez. “La Bandera Espanola” and “La Patria,” leading dailies of Santiago de Cuba, print a report that Maximo Gomez is also dead. “La Lucha” prints a Santiago special dis- patch to the effect that Calixto Garcia was wounded. When or where is not stated. It is said that his wound is serious. YELLOW FEVER. It Attacks the Foreigners in the Bands of Maceo. ä HAVANA, July F. Reports published here from the Province of Pinar del Rio as- sert that yellow fever has attacked the for- eigners among the bands of Antonio Maceo and that the disease has even extended — 4 the Cubans, especially those who have been absent for a time from Cuba and have recently returned. Many persons have presented themselves to inscribe their names in the special regis- ter book for foreigners, according to the de- cree of Captain neral V that for- eigners not so inscribed within thirty days will forfeit their privileges as foreign citi- zens: Until the present time, none of those who have presented themselves have com- lied with the formalities of the law requir- ng them to exhibit a document justifying | their claim to foreign citizenship.. A law will be published soon providing | that those in the army and navy who die of yellow fever shall have a pension conferred upon their orphans and widows. MORE WAR MATERIAL. The Bermuda Makes Ready to Sail From Philadelphia. NEW YORK, July -17.—The Herald this morning says: Much activity has been observed at the Cuban headquarters dur- ing the last three days, due to prepara- tions for an expedition, which is to sail | ve soon on board the steamer Bermuda. ‘The steamer’s machinery has all been over- hauled at Philadelphia and her speed power has been increased. The expedition which has been ordered to leave Phila- delphia on the Bermuda will be lead by Col. Cabrera, an old veteran of the ten years war. Capt. John O’Brien will have charge of the vessel. Twenty cases of rifles and nearly 200 hermetically sealed cans of cartridges have been sent to Philadel- phia within the last three days, but these are not one-quarter of the war material which will be shipped or has been shipped aboard the steamer. REGISTRATION DECREF. Not Aimed at Americans, Says the Marquis of Palmerola. HAVANA, July 17.—The Marquis of Pal- merola, Secretary General of the Spanish Government in Cuba, interviewed with ref- erence to Gen, Weyler’s decree of obligatory registration of aliers. authorizes the state- ment that the measure is in no wise intend- ed to embarass bona-fide Americans resid- ed, ing in the island, to whom Spain will con- tinue in absolute good faith to extend all possible protection in accordance with exist- ing treaties and Spanish laws. The object of the Captain General is to simplify mat- ters and avert future complications by com- pelling former subjects of the Spanish crown who have forsworn their allegiance thereto and taken out American naturali- zation papers to properly record the latter, and thus stop the practice of many Cubans who carry their Spanish birth certificates in one pocket and an American passport in another, displaying whichever is most convenient at the moment. Such persons pose as Spanish subjects one day and flaunt American citizen papers in the face of the officials when they get into trouble to-mor- row, and feel that as aliens they may obtain some special privileges or consideration. The decree, moreover, is not especially di- rected towards Americans. On the contrary, | all foreigners in the island are included, and must equally comply with the provi- sions set forth. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup is the best of all remedies for children teething. 25c. Still Another Version. HAVANA, July 17.—Private advices give a new account of the death of Jose Maceo. According to this story he found himself | surrounded by a strong force in a superior position. When about to retreat a rifle ball struck him in the back of the neck and passed through his head, emerging between his eyes. The volley that killed Jose Maceo also slew his friend, Dr. Peructo Echavarria, an several members of his staff. OLD POINT COMFORT. $24.75 and Return—$24.75.

Chief Sanitary Officer Francis has a little | surprise in store for a large number of property owners in the city who have failed to comply with the ordinance in relation to the growth of rank weeds on vacant lots. The City Marsha! has been provided with a list ot persons who have been notified to cut down their weeds and have not .heeded the notification. This list, with a formal notice, will be published on the east front door of the Courthouse or some other ob- scure place for a given length of time, and the Police Courts. The result will probably be that instead of having to pay 50 cents to have the weeds | cut by the first tramp who comes along, the owners of the lots where the weeds are growing will be assessed a neat little fine by the duly appointed official mower or wena: who will be on the staff of the City Marshel.

The enemies of free silver in general ne | of Gov.J. P.Altgeld in particular have made A great fuss over the fact that the rental contracts of the Unity building in Chicago are made payable in gold. Gov. Altgeld is the president of this company, afd, therefore, the goldbugs assert, he is doing the same thing for which he blames them. With a great flurry of trumpets they de- clare that this shows the IIlinois Executive to be a mere dem e, using a “‘craze’’ which he knows to be economically absurd 2 order to advance his own political ambi- tions. Thomas H. McDearmon, general agent of the Pacific Mutual Life and Accident In- surance Co. of this city, wrote to Gov. Alt- geld for an explanation of these charges. He is an ardent free silver man and de- sired to know just where the great II- linois leader stood. He received in reply the following letter from the Governor’s private secre Wm. F. Dose, showing how unjust the refiec- “State of illinois, Executive Office, Spring ate o nois, Executive 0 - field, July 7, 1896.—Thomas H. McDearmon, Esq., Oriel Building, St. Louis, Mo.; Dear Sir—Your letter to the Governor, referring to the charge that he exacts payment in gold from the tenants who rent offices in the Unity Block, has been received. This mat- ter was first brought up by the Chi Tribune during the campaign of 92. facts are as follows: Gov. Altgeld is the President of a stock . known as the Unity Co., which owns a large Office bullding in Chicago. The Governor, of course, can not pay much per- sonal attention to all of the details in re- gard to the renting of rooms, etc., in this building and of course does not himself ersonally attend to the matter of eases. . All of the stationery stores in Chicago gell blank leases, and whatever form of lease is adopted by the Secretary of the Unity Company is probably the kind cur- rently in use there and on sale. I am very certain that even up to this 1 the Gov- ernor has never read entirely through the form which the secretary of the Unity Company employs. When the Governor became president of the company which undertook to put up this office building, he was obliged to bor- row a great deal of money to carry out this undertaking. This money was raised by issuing bonds and selling these bonds to bankers in Chicago. The bondholders, of course, insisted upon dictating their own terms in to many of the details in connection with the building, Among other things, they insisted upon prescribing how much insurance should be carried, and I understand they also insisted upon the clause you have reference to in the leage. The secretary no doubt adopted whatever form the bondholders desired him . Yours respectfully, > 3 WM, F. DOSE, Private Secretary. NELLIE SMITH’S MISERY.

The battle — ee ere ee es ee — — — — ee * — — — — — — Was opened by the corporation lawyer from owa. He had a mosaic, made up he said of. ut- terances of Thomas Jefferson on the gold and silver ratio in his monetary report of 1784. He wanted it adopted in the shape of a resolution. It read: We are in favor of the coinage and cur- rency of silver and = in our monetary System. The 7 on between the val- ues of gold and silver is a mercantile prob- lem altogether. The proportions estab- lished by law have varied in different ages and in different countries. Just principles will lead us to disregard legal preportions altogether; to inquire into the market price of gold in the several countries with which we shall be principally connected in com- merce and to take an average from them. A commission should therefore be appoint- ed to inquire what are the proportions be- tween the values of fine gold an — ver at the markets of the 8 with which we are or probably may be connected in commerce, and what would A proper proportion here, having regard to the average of their values at those mar- kets, and to other circumstances, and coinage of gold and silver at our mints should be at the ratio thus determined.“ In a loud voice and with much gesticula- tion Mr. Lehman made a speech. He said the club would have to adopt the resolution if it did not want to make the name of the club a fraud and its constitution a lie, — nk moll bee street contihgent e gro — the 282288 e e 8 A substitute for Col.

Every point was cheered by the respective factions, but the real Democrats, being 9 in the majority furnished the bulk of the applause. 7 At times the cheering could be heard for — * 3 & good natured: dis- cussion an e ers on bot thetr tempers. n h sides held r. eriwether OK up the platfo plank by plank, and essayed to show that no true Democrat, despite his views on the financial question, could dissent on any plank aside from that treating with silver and gold coinage. His speech was delivered tones and the points were brought l. and after attackin k, bitterly assailed the Federal interference in denounced Altgeld and the Federal authority t eno to make Illinois remain a Union. He said the United te had indorsed the President's sending meth o to Chicago during in a resolution introduced by lel and supported by Senator Vest. Concluding, he said that the free coinage of silver meant a Waterloo for labor, that it would press the crown of thorns on the brow of the poor. . Paul T. Gadsden followed witn a reply to Mr. Lehman’s mosaic, said it was not a fair test. He also said the devil quoted scripture, and there was a laugh at the expense of the corporation barrister. Con- ditions were not the same in 1896 as they were in 1784. In those days there were no trusts, monopolies, Hannas nor Mc- Kinleys to oppress the poor for the ag- grandizement of the wealthy classes. His address was a clear, logical presenta- tion of the picture of the present as com- pared with that of the time mentioned by Mr. Lehman and met with great ap- plause. Frank M. Estes, who is well read on Jeffersonian Democracy, gave a detailed history of the financial legislation in the time of Thomas Jefferson. He denied that Jefferson was a goldbug, insisting that he was a bimetallist and a friend of silver. It was Jeffersen who fixed the silver dollar as the unit of value and who established a ratio of 15 to 1 between the two metals. Ex-Congressman R. Graham Frost al- most foamed in his denunciation of every- thing in the platform. He said he stood with Jefferson, Jackson, Monroe and other great men and consequently could not sup- ort the ticket. He had come to the par? ng of the ways. No wild-eyed anarchist ever presented half as savage an aspect as he did when he shouted I spit upon such a platform.“ This elicited cheers from me Wall street followers and disgusted the Democrats. Amos Falk said the speeches made by Lehman and Frost were entirely out of place. If they cherished such views they ought to give them expression at me Mer- chants’ League Club and not the Jeffer- son Club. The platform had been settled by the majority at Chicago and he con- sidered it so be the duty of the men who called themselves Democrats to abide by the action of the majority. Major‘ty rule was an unalterable law of Democracy. The debate was closed by Hon. Given Campbell. He tore Mr. Lehman’s mosaic into tatters, leaving it a thing of threads and patches. He said s mosaic could be made from the Bible to prove there was no God. Cleveland’s administration was a failure because he had ignored the plat- form and pledges made to the people. The speaker attacked the Republican party and wondered how any Democrat could even think of leaving his party when confront- on with the danger of four years of McKin- eyism. He explained why the farmer could get practically nothing for his wheat and was interrupted by S. M. Kennard with the 3 am “Why is silver so low?“ “Because,” answered Mr. Campbell, the Wall street manipulators have made it that way, and free coinage is the only relief.” An amendment to Mr. Meriwether’s reso- lution of indorsement was offe by R. Graham Frost, denouncing the Chicago platform and ticket as unworthy of support. On a roll call the amendment was voted down by a vote of 69 to %. By a vote of 64 to 32 the resolution of indorsement was adopted. The meeting then adjourned with three hearty cheers for Bryan and Sewall. JUST TO SEE HOW IT WORKED.

Her hat befitted well its comely wearer, and all her togs were rich as robes en train. Her eyes were like two lakes of placid water, skirted with palms or willows fair to see. Aha!“ thought I, “she is some brew- er’s daughter, or slop contractor may her “> be. er hair was like the sands of great Sahara—so 3 warm, so full of lustrous fire. A prince might pawn his triple-crown- = — for ev'n the pleasure of such great esire. Her throat was like a stately marble plllar, white as the eaves of some Athen- ian dome. Good faith,“ I cried, “her pops a big distiller, and like a kingly palace is her home!“ Her feet were like the feet of Cinderella, so trim, so cute they’d fairly take your breath. My impulse was to fall on my pa- tella and crave her blessing ere I prayed for death. I ne’er had seen a maid so full of beauty. I ne’er had seen a face so fair and bright. To rg ye her, it was my bounden duty, and so I did, with precious, rare delight. “And yet,” thought I. what has this maid been doing that brings her to this dark and dismal place? Is it some action that she will be ruing, or is she but a witness in some case? “And what's her name?’ I walked up to the railing before the Judge’s bench with mien profound. Full soon i felt my heart within me failing, and when a name was called I looked around. She rose and took her kerchief from her pocket to check the galling tears that would not cease.

The of the Trees of the conven DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETINGS. Delegations to Be Chosen for the Pri- maries Friday Night. Mass meetings will be held in the various wards, Friday evening to select the regular delegations for the Democratic primary election which will be held Aug. 1, to select delegates to the State and Judicial Conven- the Democrateic primaries must filed not later than 5 8 oc Saturday afternoon with the Board of Election Commissioners. There will be contesting delegations in a number of primares, and while some of the contests are expeétéd to be exciting no such disgraceful wrangling and ballot-box stuff- ing as was seen at the Republican primar- ies is anticipated. The — race attracts the most attention. As it stands now, Lon V. Stephens leads, with Col. D. A. Ball second. Stephens has the greater strength with the City Central Committee, and will, his friends claim, have the support of most of the regular delegations. x-Gov. Ball has his friends at work, and likewise Maj. Wad- dill, and they look for a liberal share of the city vote. The Judicial Convention, which will be held in this city, will select a candidate for the Court of Appeals for the St. Louis dis- trict, which comprises one-half of the State. Among the names mentioned for this nomi- nation are Judge C. C. Bland of Rolla, a brother of Richard Parks Bland, and Judge John Wesley Booth of Franklin County. The delegates to ine convention will be en at the same primary. 10 situation in the Hleventh District, where the Congressional nomination is to be made by a direct vote at the primary, has not changed. Harrison I. Drummon the well-known tobacconist, still has the lead, and it may be that his will be the only name submitted. Ex-Mayor E. A. Noonan, who has been urged to make the — has declined. He says he is for Drummon believes he is the strongest man the party can name in that district. FATHER AND SON ARRESTED. They Resisted When the Lad Was Taken for Loitering.
