Hon. Andrew D. White, ex-niin
ister to Russia and present member
of the Venezuelan commission, pre
sents some interesting and impor
tant facts concerning the growth
of crime in this country. He gives
statistics which now show, as he
says, that "under no other civilized
government, whether monarchy or
republic, is the right to life so tram
pled upon by a privileged class of
criminals." In other words, "the
United States is,, among all the
nations, of the. christian world, that
country in which the crime of mur
der is most frequently committed
and least frequently punished."
There were 10,500 homicides in
1865, as against 3567 in 1889; and
there were only 132 legal executions
or anverage of about one to about
seventy-nine. This great depanty
between crime and its punishment
is certainly a national reproach.
There must must, be something
radically wrong with the machin
ery of justice wlien so few of those
who take life are compelled to pay
the proper penalty.
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
Sectarian Schoel Debate.
Washington, April 11. The senate
took no the question of sectarian Indian
ichools Friday, but did not complete it.
The debate was verv temperate and no
reference was made to the organisation
which has been active in opposition to
sectarian schools. Mr. Carter (Mon.)
proposed to strike out the provision di
recting that no, money Bhouia do spent
on sectarian schools. This led to a gen
eral argument, in which Senators Car
ter, Lodge, Gray, Hoar, Hawley, Alii-
son and liainnscer pararaparcju.
Venezuelan Boundary Dispute.
Washington, -April 13. The Vene
zuelan authorities expect to present to
the "Venezuelan commission at an early
day translations of the public records of
Spain and the Netherlands, taken irom
the archives of these countries, relating
to the Venezuelan boundary. It is ex
pected that this will prove an important
contribution to the case.

cheese bill passed the house by a vote of
160 to 59.
Deficiency Appropriation Needed.
Washington, April 14. The presi
dent pro tern laid before the senate a

fortification appropriation bill, carrying
appropriations and authorizations in
volving an expenditure of $ll,3i4,61i.
The appropriations for fortifications
since the Endicott commission, in 1886,

over $3,000,000 annually.
Day Devoted to Dupont.
Washing ion. April 16. The senate
spent tho entire day on the Dupont case,
Mr. Gray (Del.) arguing against the

Mr. Gorman proposed an agreement
that a fiual vote ou the Dupont case be
taken next Wednesday. Mr. Mitchell,
in charge of the case, declined to make
an agreement at this time. This tender
by Mr. Gorman was regarded as sigriifi
cant of the confidence of the opposition
to Mr. Dupont to resist his claim to a
seat.
OMAHA EXPOSITION BILL.
Senate Measure Will Be Pushed Through
the House.
Washington, April 14. G. W. Wat
tles, president of the Transmississippi
Exposition company, and Henry Wy
man, banker of Omaha, are in the city

Mercer to Chairman Dintrlev of tho
house ways and means committee.
The party discussed the great Omaha
exposition project and Mr. Dingley
spoke encouragingly of the proposition
to fix the amount for the government
exhibit at $300,000. Mercer's bill calls
for a lanrer amount aud the senate
acreed on S200.000. The senate m'eas-
o
pre will be pushed.
Mr.Dingley suggested that $250,000 of
the $1,000,000 to be raised ought to be
subscribad before congress made its ap
propriation available and Mr. Wyman
agreed to that. The Omaha party will
be in the city several days consulting
with Mr. Mercer on the necessary steps
in connection with the exposition.

covered back into the treasury at tho
end of the present administration in the
neighborhood of $2,000,000 from the ap?
propriatious for the agricultural depart
ment for the four years of which ho
shall have been at its head. To do this
he plans to save $n00,000 a year, but the
aRcregate may be smaller than hoped
for, owing to the rigid pruning of esti
mates. Already the amount returned
to the treasury from these appropria
tions has reached $1,014,000.

Sedalia, Mo., April 10. The Mis
armri Democracy in state convention'
here pledged itself nneqnivocably for
free and unlimited silver coinage at 16
to 1, and nominated the following dele
gates at large to Chicago: George G.
Xgst. P. M. Cockrell, "William J. Stone
and George "W. Allen, ex-mayor of SL
Louis. All are pronouncedly in favor
of the white metal and are instructed to
vote for that issue. Ex-Congressman E.
P. Bland's presidential boom was a
decided feature. It was launched by
Governor Stone and approved by the
convention with a decisiveness that left
no doubt as to the silver champion's
strength. The convention, besides being
one of the largest in the history of the
Btate was also one of .the most enthus
iastic. An exciting incident occurred
when Delegate Nick Bell threw a glass
of water in the face of State Chairman
Maffitt.
Not until 8:20 did tho state convention
reconvene last night. The credentials
committee then, after a hard fight of
four hours, reported in favor of tho
Kansas City Stone-Brown delegation, a
decided victory for Governor Stone.
The faction dominated by Francis and
Shelley was completely shut out. The
report was adopted. A permanent or
ganization was then effected, If. E. Bel
Ion of Newton county being elected
permanent chairman and Sam. Cook of
Mexico, one of the most active silyer
men in the state, was mado sepretary.
Following resolutions were adopted;
Resolved, That wo demand the froo n4
unlimited coinage of silvor and gold Into
primary or redemption money at tho ratio
of 16 to 1, without waiting for the action
or approval of any other government.
Resolved, That wo aro irrevocably op

Denver, April 16. The Democratio
state convention held here, after adopt
ing a free silver platform and electing
one delegate at large, adjourned until
after Senator Tillman, who was to
speak in the same theater, had finished.
It was an antiadministration conven

McAlinoy of Pueblo made a strong sil
ver speech, as did Permanent Chairman
Judge Boyal of the same city. The lat
ter, after making a long and sincere
plea in favor of the white metal at the
ratio of 16 to 1, eulogized Senators Vest
and Cockrell of Missouri and other
prominent silver advocates of the east.
"When he mentioned tho name of ex
Congressman Bland the delegates ap
plauded and cheered. The platform,
which was unanimously adopted, deals
with no other question but that of the
monetary issue and favors free coinage
at the ratio of 16 to 1.
The theater was packed with people
anxipus'tp hear Senator Tillman speak.
Mr! Tillman prefaced his speech with,
a history of the Demooratio and Repub
lican parties. He then entered into a
sarcastic arraignment of President
Cleveland and the presont administra
tion. He remarked: "Who is this man
at "Washington masquerading in the
clothes of Jefferson and pretending to
be introducing reforms? God I that the
name of Democracy should be disgraced
by such a man as Grover Cleveland."
