Hut last night a consultation was hold between the dcte-ellves ot the two cities nnd the work divided tip AH lhe < clews and theories will bo sifted In common , and if Iheic Is any thing that can bo done to catch the tmn- dt-rer It will bo done. There la Just now tionio disposition on the p.itt nf the polled to criticise Uo coioner frr not making moie of n show of the Inquest , Coroner Jennings feels lhat his ollico should not bo regarded as a dctccllvo buieau lu any sense of Ihe word , and after ho has announced lo the ptiblli ! lhat a murder has been committed and by parties unknown his responsibility cca cs , nnd the duty devolves upon the po lire department to 1 unt clown the unknown criminals. The coroner linn a theory that the police have nlwa > s cherished an pc- cullaily Ilielr own , that the best way to hunt a criminal Is not to let the criminal know jou are after him , and to keep every thing away from the reporters that could throw the least possible light upon the Iden tity of the- criminal or In any way satisfy thn longings of the public for the latest developments. "I might have held an Inquest that would lasted nil the lemalnder of the week , " said the coroner , "and examined every witness that knew the least little bit about the mur der , but no good could have come of it , and only additional expense would liavo been added lo the cost of the Inquest. The po- llco can get nil the facts that might have been submitted to the Inquest juiy and can use them In tlio way that best suits their purposes nnd the most likely to bo pro ductive ot results. When there was so much uncei taint } I did not propose to trv to fix the crlmo upon any one. A core ner's wairant Is not any more desirable than a simple state v , arrant , and the police can hold anybody whom they suspect as easily without the assistance of the coroner ner us with It. I feel that my duty has endeil when the Jury that I empaneled under the law heard sufllclcnt evidence to con- v luce them that a murder had been com mitted and by parties unknown. " The detective department of the police force feels a little disappointment because the olllccrs were not called upon to tcstlfj at the Inquest or furnish the name > s of wit nesses whom they had found whose stork ' were thought to throw light upon the crime. "We have done nothing nt all upon the ease today , " remarked Detective Mur phy , "but wo are going to begin work again tonight. Wo will have a consultation with Omaha ofllccrs thl * . evening nnd 'map ' out the work. " The police be-llcvo that something maj be discovered from the testimony of Con ductor Crockwell of lhe > motor line , who says ho carried the murdered woman from the ear l rn-s on Ilrcadway to Main street and Twelfth a\eiue between S and 9 o'clock on the night of the murder. Ho was at first Inclined to believe that It was shortly after S o'cle > ck when she boarded his train a' the car barns , which are located on Twenty-ninth street , halt way to Omaha The fact that she did not le-avc her home In Omahn until after 7:30 : made It Impca- slblo for her to have reached the car barns In half an hour. Crockwell Is satisfied now , low ever , that It was nearer 8:30 : when she lion riled his train. Ho Is pobltlvo that he could not have been mistaken In the Iden tity of the woman. The woman's son , T. D. Harnett , was In ho city vesterday afternoon , and announced hat ho had eold oft a lot of her household urnlturo to raise money for the funeral expenses. Ho purchased a coflln and con cluded arrangements to have the body re- novcd to Harlan for burial. The body will bo placed In a casket at Estop's undertaking rooms , and from 12 until 4 o'clock toelaj ho friends and the public will have an opportunity to view the remains The cas- cct will bo sent to Harlan on the evening lock Island train. mililc Solution.

Decretory of State Mcrarlatnl delivered i strong spcce-h at the McKlnley headquarter ; last evening to an audience I Kit filled tin building. In the absence of Tresllrnt liar of the M"Kln1oy club Mr. McKarland w.v Introduced by Ohio KneJx. He Jumped a once Inlo Uo licatt of his subjoet. am pointed out the fact that ono ot the grave dangers of the * present sltiiatlnn lay In tin obscuration of Ihe true Issues of the cam pslgn McKlnley , prolec'lon and prosperltj vvcie ( ho real Issues and should have the watchwords of the campaign , but the1 popu ll ts hid from the start befogged the publh mind by pushing forward flnnnrlil heresies and vagaries Money was alwa > s a fasci nating subject , and the populists had plaji'd despentelv upon human wc.ikncsies and pas slons. Ho reviewed the silver lenlslatioi fiom the- foundation of the government am' made It clear that the ratio between gold an 1 silver was a eeimmereUl and not n legal problem Hvory ratio that has ever been fixed has been a commercial one , llxed upon the average market value ot sller In the * markets of the world. He quoted Thomas Jefferson's declaration thai the ratio between the two metals was n meicantlle problem entirely , and that "Just principles will lead us to dlsregird legal proportions altogether. " The populists ami the demeicrats who h.ive wandered from the do"trlnca of the great father of democracy demand that wo shall disregard the mer cantile proportions and follow only the pro- poi lions fixed arbitrarily by a legislative enactment , lie declared that there had not been n period In the wholehlstorv of the republic of even twenty-four boms' duration when gold and sll\er tltculatoil together upon an exact parity until after 1S73. It has never been done , and never can be done , except as wo have done It by pledging thu faith and Integrity of this nation , The speaker crcjittil n good deal of amuse ment by exhibiting a dollar coin containing a Millie-lent amount of silver to bring It tei a present commercial parity with gold. It was the size of a supper plate. He declared that money was the product ot evolution and that clvllizallon had carried us bevond the period when silver can bo used as money. Holding up the tea plate dollar , he declared that no government had a right to make people accept such n dollar. Ho re lated his experience In California In 187-1 , when he taught a high school and was paid $1,800 in silver at one time. It made a pile weighing 100 pounds , and caused him almost as much trouble to find a safe place for It as It did to earn It. He showed that the de preciation In the value of silver was due to overproduction and deciease of demand. In 1873 It cost $ -4 a ton to transport silver ore from Montana to the Omaha smelter ; now It costs less than $10. Then It cost $17 a ton to treat the ores ; now It costs $ S. Improved machinery and methods of mining account for the ovei production. In 1SGS mine owners could not afford to treat gold ores running less than $20 a ton , now $3 ores are profitably handled. In the early history of the country the production of the two metals showed a ratio ot five ounces of sil ver to one of gold , and silver was then worth $1 33 an ounce. In 1S70 eleven ounces of silver to ono ot gold was produced , and the price of silver declined " cents an ounce In 1SSO sixteen ounces of silver to one of gold was tinned out of the mines of the world , and the pi Ice of silver In Ihe markets of the world was $1 13 an ounce rrom 1SSO to 1SOO the average was twenty-two and a half ounces ot silver to one of gold , and sliver v.cnt down to 90 cents. From 1S90 to 1S94 the production was 107,000,000 as against 31,000,000 In ISC.O. We have coined more silver In the present year than was coined In the whole period of the nation's lifepiior to IS".1 ? . Increased coinage does not Increase the per capita circulation. The way to get money Into circulation Is to create conditions among the people that demand the use of money , and the money w 111 come. Mexico's per capita circulation Is less than $3. Mexico has coined l.fiOO.OOO 000 sliver dollars lars In llftv 3 cars , and yet J50,000000 will comprise the sum total In circulation. It lias gone into the commerce of the world , swallowed up In China , Japan and Russia. Our nation has coined $1,700,000,000 In gold. It , too , lias gone Into the world's great vol ume of coinage. Canada has more than four times the per capita circulation of Mexico , yet she has no coinage except subsidiary coins. "Ilcsorp the conditions of 1892 , " said the speaker. "Put to work the 2,500,000 Idle men who have lost their employment since the advent of democracy Into power and jou will bring Into circulation millions moro of American gold and silver. " The demand for Increased coinage to Increase the money of the country Is as futile as a law would bo that would direct the secretary of the treasury to purchase annually 4,000,000 bushels of oats at CO cents a bushel and blnk it In the tea. It would only increase the output of the oat product. The whole ro- mbllc would bo transfotmcd Into an oat field. The debt-paying qiialltv of money Is the only quality that government can give In concluding his speech he- declared that t had been his duty for jcars to make the pre-election estimates of majorities 1n Iowa , and he said he had never missed the result by moro than a few hundred votes. He wanted to make a prediction then that Mc- Kfnlcy's plurality In Iowa will not bo less than 73,000 , and ho would not be much sur prised If U should reach 150,000. All.lii A.

Mills of New Haven , a former member of the state central committee , but who reslgnei at the Now Haven convention. Mr. Mills Introduced ox-Govornor Thomas M AVallcr as temporary chairman. The appearance of Mr Waller was the signal for long con tinned applause. His rental kn ellcitei numerous chetrs. In the course of his ipepoh Mr. Waller , alluding to the demo cratlc convention of last Julv , said " 1 take pleasure In reporting that al the members of the delegation of which : was the chnltman were as earnestlv opposei as 1 was to the socialism , the populism , the tramplsm , the Tlllmanlsm , and the 10-to-l- Ism of the Chicago platform , although one or two of them who liavo since their reluri been 'lost , stra > cd or stolen , ' wore not quilt , so Intense "I am. " Mr. Waller added , "for the defcai of the Chicago imilrpcis and their populist allies , first ot all , by national democrats under the blue and the gray and the leniloi- shlp of I'almer and Huckner , men wo revere and honor , If It can be done , If not , bj lutlonal patriots fiom whatever party they come , or whatever banner they bear If II Is not ted , and has not upon It the Id to 1 hieroglyphics , or the faces of cither Altgeb ! or Tlllman. "This Is not an ordinary political contest In which we are enlisted , and In which the laws of party discipline prevail. It Is a sectional , socialistic warfato In which every man must do what his conscience dictates Is best for the good of his country and his party , too , with respect but without regard to ivhat others do. " Mr. Waller devoted n poitlon of his speech to state questions. Ho said : "Connecticut Is. I think , today , the only state in the union where a candidate who gets the least votes may get the ofllcc. This tucins pata- doxlc.il , but It Is not ; It Is only tcpubllcan " Ho advocated teform of the ballot , saying that "tho Improper use of money In our elections Is a scandal that cannot bo dcnlcil and that ought to be stopped , for It Is the poisoning of the mountain streams of our govcrrment from which wherever we are we all have to drink. " At the conclusion ot Mr. Waller's address the repoit of the committee on platform was submitted and adopted The platform realllims the declaration of the convention held on June 10 of this jear , and on the currency question says : "While wo favor the most liberal use of silver consistent with the enforcement of a gold standard , wo are unalterably opposed to the fieo coinage of Mlvor , deeming It a device for the debasement of our currency , and to the compulsory purchase of silver by the govermnc'iit. Under existing cir cumstances to pay public debts in silver coin Is repudiation ; to pay private debts In the same coin Is to rob the wage earner , and to provide for the free coinage ot sliver means the destruction of legitimate busi ness and great suffering among the laboring classes. We believe the safety ot our na tional finances requires a svstem of sound banking , by which a bank note currency ample to supply the needs of the whole country shall be created , safely secured and alwajs and everywhere redeemable in gold. The convention placed in nomination presidential electors and a full state ticket ind also endorsed the nominees for congress , state senators and Judge of probate selected by the special caucuses. The state ticket is as follows : For governor , Joel A. Sherry ; lieutenant governor , William Waldo Wade ; secretary 3f state , Judge William Botcher ; state treasurer , George H1.
