his property to his bondsmen, who mado

to moro than $3,000. At tho last

CULLED from the Field of POLITICS
Mr. William II. Hornblower. nn cmlnont
lawyer of Now York and a domocrat of
tho Seymoar, Tllden nnd Clevolnnd school,
announces In a published letter his purpose
to support McKlnloy and Itoosevolt. Tho
distinguished Jurist docs not regard Imperi
alism as a paramount lssuo or a minor Is
sue worthy of serious consideration. "By
supporting tho treaty," says Mr. Horn
blower, "Mr. Ilryan mado himself n party
to this compact, and Is, more tbnn any
other ono man, except Mr. McKlnloy, ro
sponslblo for the situation. Tho treaty was
ratified, tho purchase money wns paid, the
Islands nro In our possession. In my Judg
ment, the question of their tuturo and of
our future, as determined Indirectly by their
future, must wait until we have settled the
question of tho present, and that question
Is whether honesty, Integrity and common
sense shall bo npplled to the financial af
fairs of tho United States or whether popu
lar approval shall bo given to the vagaries,
whims and fallacies of the populists and
Pryanltes, with all tho rt'Ultlng disaster
and dishonor."

John C. Cowln, special counsel for tho
government In Its caso against the Union
Paclfio Hallway company, haB returned
from Washington. Ho had been In the
capital city und In lloston on business con
nected with tho flnnl settlement by the
Union Pacific of tho government's claim
against tho old rallwny company, as tho
corporation was- known prior to tho time
of tho receivership.
"The affairs of tho government and the
Union Pacific nrc now nbout wound up,"
said General Counsel Kelly of the Union
Pacific. "Tho last payment, lust made, nnd
In connection with which General Cowln
was called east, amounted approximately
to $133,000. representing the final dividend
from tho closing up of the affairs of tho
Kansas division of the Union Pacific.
"Tho government has received from the
Union Pacific practically all of its claim
against tho old railway corporation. At
tho time of the sale of tho Union division
the government's claim of $32,000,000 wns
satisfied In full. Since that tlmo payments
havo been mndo on tho government's claim
against tho Kansas division. Tho first was
about n year ago, when, In tho distribution
of dividends accruing from tho receiver
ship, the government was pnld $530,000.
'The second payment of $133,000. which
hus Just been made, reprosents nil that tho
government will, In nil probability, receive.
Tho government's original claim agulnst
tho Kansas division was $G,500.000 as prin
cipal. Interest accruing brought the
amount up to approximately $13,500,000.
Tho final payment mado tho government
brought the total amount paid on this claim
up to nbout $7.100,000, so that tho govern
ment received back overy cent of Its prin
cipal ami approximately $1,000,000 to apply
on the Interest."
MELLEN RETURNS FROM EAST

Mr. John Mellen has returned from an
eastern trip, on which ho wna accompanied
by his mother, who resides in Clinton. Ia.
The principal object of tho visit was In
order that Mr. Mellen might see his
brothor, who Is In the navy, and for this
purpose he went directly to Portsmouth,
N. II.
"My visit to Portsmouth," ho said, "was
a most pleasant one, us I got thero In time
to witness a great naval demonstration In
cident to tho presentation uy the state of
Now Uampshlro of bronze tablets to tho
Kcnrsarge and Alabama. Many distin
guished men were thero In attondanco upon
tho Imposing ceremonies, among them be
ing Secretary Long and ex-Socrotary Her
bert of tho Navy department and a num
ber of governorn of Now Kngland states.
Tho ceremony was Inspiring nnd tho oc
casion was certainly a gala ono. Thero was
a fluo naval parade and tho enthusiasm wns
in keeping with such nn event. Ono from
tho west could bo, pardoned for being sur
prised, as I was, at tho domonstratlvcness
of the Now Englnndcrs. It really reminded
rac of Ak-Par-Iien week at home. The
most notable thing, however, were the
decorations. Portsmouth was ablaze with
flags and bunting from ono end to tho
other."
During his visit Mr. Mellen visited Itos

Colonol Hut surely you do not approve
tho retention of tho Philippines.
Farmer Colonel, when I get hold of a
good thing, I keep hold of It. When I get
money enough tn buy more land, I buy It,
Colonel Dut, my donr sir, would you put
tho man-mado dollar above the God-mado
man ? ,
Farmer No, but I'd put tho man-made
dollar tn the man-mado bank. And I must

While Colonel Roosevelt was In Chicago
on Ijibor day an elderly and very, near
sighted farmer camo up to him, stretched
out his hnnd and exclaimed:
"Have I the honor of nddresslng the
hero of Sann Jew Ann?" i
"No, blr1, replied Mr. Roosevelt. "You
are addressing tho govornor of New York."
"Oh, excuso mo," said tho farmer, back
ing away; "I've mado a mistake. I
thought I was speakln' to Teddy. Kin you
toll mo where I kin find Teddy Roose
velt?" Correspondent Pepper has Investigated
the political situation in West Virginia and
reaches tho conclusion that tho state Is
for McKlnloy and Itoosevelt by a narrow
margin. "Republican factional troubles,"
ho writes, "may wlpo out the margin, an
unlooked-for revival of democratlo senti
ment may chango the politics, but after
visiting all sections I have not been en
abled to find that a majority for Ilryan
and Stevonron Is In sight todny. Ilryan
Is stronger than In lS'JO, but not quite
strong enough to carry the state."

Dissatisfaction over tho nominations mado
Saturday continues In democratic ranks.
Kickers of all sortj aro beginning to show
their heads nnd many aro commencing to
expose tholr soro spots to friends und ene
mies alike.
Ud Johnston, Dr. Knsor, J. M. Tanner and
other democratic leaders do not make auy
bones of tho fact that the ticket Is weak
and that general discord prevails In the
ranks of tho democracy Just now. The man
ner In which linsor got turned down in the
convention, nnd by those whom ho supposed
were his friends, Is still one of the topics
of conversation In political circles. The
doctor however, protests thnt ho was not
a candidate, but that he was merely trying
to show tho McMillan-Nolan taction that
they were not running the first ward. It Is
known on tho side, however, thnt Emor toils
his defeat for stato scnatorshln sorely, nnd
he Is out looking for revenge. Tanner is not
saying much, but Is apparently doing u lot
of thinking, for he is talking nmong his
friends nbout the ticket being weak. On:
well known political leader said that up to
tho tneetng of tho convention ho had great
hopes of pulling Edgar Howard through, but
since tho ticket wns nominated nnd Berlin
mado a fool of himself ho felt that tho
weak ticket would drag Howard down with
it.
Tho factions ore still fighting Colonel C.
M. Hunt, and his defeat for the legislature
Is already predicted. Ono of the best demo
cratic hustlers In the city enld In the oUlce
of Ed Johnston yesterday that tho rnnk nnd
fllo would not work for Hunt, as they would
for the other candidates. Hunt, tho demo-
ciats say. has always been penurious, and
while frequently looking for ofilce, has never
contributed anything towards tho mainten
ance of tho party. As for Prank Hansom,
tho democrats do not like him and the labor-
lug element will undoubtedly bo solidly
ngalnst him when It comes to voting, from
tho fact that he Is a corporation attorney
and Is reputed to be the tool of tho Stock
Yards company.
On tho other hand, Schultz, the republican
candidate for stato senator. Is gaining
ground every day, nnd his friends predict
nn easy victory. Schultz has a record In
official llfo which cannot he beaten, nnd
besides this ho still retains n union card.
having been ono of tho charter members of
the carpenters' union, organized In 1SS4.
This fact alone will bring muny democratic
votes to Schultz, ns he stands high with
the laboring element here. As for tho Ger
man vote, 11 Is predicted thnt Schultz will
get nt least three quarters of It here and
possibly more.
For tho lower house Wilcox Is tho favor
Ito In South Omaha, und nny number of
democrats assert that they will voto for
this popular young man in preference to
Hunt.
Tho best of feeling prevails among tho
republicans at this tlnme, and every one
who has been Identified with the party for
nny length of time, with the exception of
Pat Ilarrctt, Is enthusiastically supporting
the cntlro ticket, Harrett Is sore, and he
hns declared himself for Ilryan, Howard and
the rest of the democratic candidates.

A petition bearing tho signatures of nbout
150 men who do business nt tho Mvo Stock
exchango wns presented to Mnyor Kelly yes
terday, nsklng thnt steps be taken to compel
the railroads to construct a viaduct ncross
tho trucks. This petition Is similar to the
ono presented to tho stock yards manage
ment nnd the Union Pacific olllclals a short
time ago. When tho petition wns presented
to the railroad ouiclnls a representative of
the Deo inquired into the matter and was
told that no steps toward constructing a
viaduct acrosH tho tracks would bo taken
until tho city council granted tho request
of tho Union Pacific In vacating the stub
ends of certain streets In the northorn part
of tho city. This land Is desired In ofifer
to ro-arrango the tracks between this city
and Omaha. When this re-arrangement has
been completed n new passenger station will
bo erected nnd a viaduct built ncross the
tracks.
Tho city council has It In Its power to
force a hearing of tho Dennett Injunction
suit, nnd with this out oMhe way thero Is
no reason why tho vacating ordinances al
ready prepared should not bo presented lo
tho council for consideration. Attorneys sav
that thero can only bo one decision on the
Dennett Injunction, and that Is that the city
cannot lose, so It appears that tho wholo
matter Is up to the mayor und council.

The matter of assigning the contract and

nut through somo ovorslght In tho nro

the council to determine whether It shall

It Is becauso of this Intense partisanship
thnt West Virginia at this writing Is still

Partisan Intolerance Is so pronounced that
It Is imposslblo for either party to under

KEEPING TAB ON CARRIERS
I'listiitllei- llepnrtnient l'xperlinenllnn
with Devices lo Hi-KlNtcr Time
of llu ('iillci'tliins.
Tho United S'Hes Postofllco department
Is experimenting with devices to check up
tho collection of mail from the mull boxes.
Tho most ingenious ot those tried so far
Is one In use nt Sun Frunclnco, where tho
opening of tho box by the collector changes
tho bulletin announcing the hour of the
next collection. If the hour Is Inter than
that shown on tho bulletin everyone who
looks at the box knows that tho collector
hus not performed his duty.
In Cincinnati self-rcglstering devices nro
used, by which the ca'riier rings up the hour
of collection, tho record being transmitted
to tho postofllco after tho manner of the
policeman's report at the patrol box. A
different method Is In operation at St.
Louis, but none of thorn has provon sat
tsfuctoty to tho department, because of
tholr liability to get out of order. After
one has been decided upon it will bo In
troduced to all freo delivery ofllces.
The plan heretofore followed, nnd thnt
which obtains at Omaha, la for tho superin
tendent of carriers to deposit luttura In
boxes where It Is believed that tho carrier
falls to do his duty and then to noto the
time of their receipt nt tho olllcc. In every
caso where this test has been applied It Is
found that tho suspicions vera groundless.
Tho superintendent ut Omaha Is assisted
by certain patrons of tho olllco who hnvo
constituted themselves inspectors of tho
box nearest tholr placo of business or of
residence. There Is ono box on Fnrnam
street where a certain gentleman makes an
almost dally report of tho time tho mull
Is collected, protesting to the superintend
ent If tho curlier Is moro than two minutes
before or behind tho published hour.
