For ltepreHt-ntatiie in CongrpuB from Third District, GEO. D. MEIKLEJOHN of Ftillerton. The best definition of the season: The Sioux City Journal says that the demo cratic party is tne Russian thistle of American jKilities. Goveknoic Waite was arrested Tnos day at Denver charged with opening and retaining a letter addressed to Mrs. Likens, formerly matron at police head quarters. Theae is a scheme for the nation pur chasing about 4,000 acres in and around Gettysburg and forming a grand i:a tional park. Gen. Sickles' plan is to es tablish a military post, a soldiers' home, an Indian school and a G. A. R. museum. The republican congressional conven tion held at Norfolk Tuesday evening of last week nominated Hon. George P. Meiklejohn, present congressman, by acclamation, there being no other aspir ant for the position. Republicans gen trally feel conGdent that Meiklejohn will bo his own successor. It was said that Meiklejohn couldn't succeed himself ae congressman because he wore corsets; because he was pretty: now they call him a fashion-plate, and yet tho young congressman is an Ameri can gentleman, who keeps himself cleanly in person and attends strictly to business at tho national capital, when dutv calls him there. TnE Hennepin canal, it is supposed, will have 2,000 men engaged in its con struction by the middle of September. Let the general government and all stato and municipal governments make their needed public improvements now. Tins is undoubtedly the sensible policy. People do not want charity, but they do want work, so that they may be able to earn their living. The bolief in obsession or "being pos sessed of the devil," has not entirely died out, it seems. In tho district of Barnaul, Russia, tho other day. an old woman, driving in a cart, was set upon by a crowd of people, they saying she was the cholera devil. She protested that she was human like themselves and could not disappear miraculously but her cries did not save her life. Her corpse was not allowed in the village. Let the citizens of tho country stead ily and firmly oppose tho issuance of any more bonds of the general govern ment in times of peace, to pay running expenses. Coin silver and pay it out for salaries. Let tho people's servants take the people's money, without in terest, and if they are too uppish for that, there are plenty of others who can take their places. We must not get prouder than our good forefathers were in the matter of gold and silver money. Kansvs is certainly one of the most remarkable tortious of our beloved land, and this is true in several respects. It is a state for peculiar productions, and especially of phenomenal human beings. Among the latest is a woman named Mrs. Frank Roadson, who lived six weeks with a six-penny nail in her brain, driven there by her own hand to end her life. After partial paralysis and two snrgical operations, she is about to regain full control of her muscles, and physicians pronounce it the most re markable case on record. THE TREASURY CONDITION. Republican Increased Our Cah nd De creased Our Debt and IuteiMt. Will you be kind enough to state the aionant of the money in the national treasury on March a, 1880, and at the s&tne date four years later? Charles E. Webxh. We have cot at baud the figured asked for on March 4, but give those at the end of each fiscal year June SO, 1889 and 1892, as supplied in the statistical abstract of the United States, published by the treasury department, as follows: CASH IN TltEASUHV.

In this connection it is interesting to compare the amount of the national debt, less cash in the treas ury, and also the per capita debt, as supplied by the same official authority.

GERMAN PYTHIANS MAY SECEDE. Probable TIM the Supreme Lodge Will Decide That Only English ttltuats Can Be Used Committee Recommend That Saloonkeeper Be Excluded From the Knights of Pythias. Washington, Sept.. 4. Rear Admiral Walker, who is in the city for the pur pose of laying before the navy depart ment the information acquired by him in his recent trip to the Hawaiian islands. Speaking of the affairs in the islands, said: "Everything was quiet at Hono lulu when I left there in August and there was no prospect of an outbreak. The new republican government seems to be firmly established and thoroughly competent to take care of itself unless there is interference from the outside. Pearl river harbor, where it is proposed to establish a United States coaling sta tion, is a beauty. It is one of the finest harbors in the world and is large enough to accommodate all the ships afloat. All it wants is the removal of a little bar at its entrance. This bar is all sand and can be easily taken out and at small ex pense. It was thoroughly surveyed while I was there by Max Wood, one of our officers. 'How about annexation? Oh, I can't say anything on that subject, except the sentiment among the people for annexa tion to the United States appears very strong. By the way, Honolulu is a most charming place and I had a most delight ful experience there. "Will I take charge of the naval acad eny'r Well, that depends altogether on circumstances. I will have to remain in Washington for some time for a confer ence with the secretaries of state and navy in regard to Hawaiian affairs. They may want more information than I have given in my report. How long that will keep me here I do not know, but the probabilities are I shall not go to Annapolis much lefore the beginning of next term, early in October." GERMAN PYTHIANS MAY SECEDE. Probable tlie Supremo Lodge May Decide to Allow Only Uuglish ltituals. Washington, Sept 4. A split in the Knights of Pythias is said by the mem bers of the supreme lodge to be a possible ontcome of the supreme lodge here. Al ready the committee delegated to con sider the question of tho membership of liquor dealers has decided to vote against tho future admissioi. of this class and now it is understood that the committee iu charge ot the matter known as the "German question," that is the question of permitting lodges to perform the ritual in that language, has decided to make an ironclad report for the use of the English language only. It is said by Supreme Chancellor Klackwell to be the intention of Pythians to make their order a patriotic one and to bend all its influ ences to the support of the institutions oi our government. The constituents of the German lodge eay that the jiorpetuation of a foreign language in the United States will not tend to the support of the institutions of this government and think that foreign members in the United States should be Americanized. The German lodges have been open in the avowal of their de termination to secede and conduct their branch of the order sponsibility in case against them. It is committee report will the tecognition of the on their own re the contest went understood that a be made against Pvthian sisters as au order. The session of the supreme lodge Monday was devoted to the con sideration of the proposed new constitu tion. Rear Admiral Krben to Retire. Washington, Sept. 4. Rear Admiral Henry E. Erben, commanding the European squadron, will retire on ac count of age on Thursday next, and on that day he will haul down his flag from the cruiser Chicago.now in English waters. He will return home at his leisure and will make New York city his permanent residence. ' Acting Rear Ad miral Kirkland will succeed him in com mand of the European station. Cholera Ki.sts In Itcrgern. Washington. Sept. 4. Consul Gen eral Ma-on at Frankfort-on-the-main has telegraphed the state department that cholera exists at Bergern, near Mar burg. Apply For mi Injunction. St. Louis. Sept. 4. The Mutual Bene fit Life association of Newark, N. J., made application to the circuit court for an injunction against William F. Leon ard, assignee of the Central Trust com pany, to restrain the assignee from pay ing over certain moneys alleged to have been given the trust for specific purposes and alleged to have been misappropri ated. The petition asserts there are claims against the company for funds wrongly converted and other things ag gregating between $VO,000 and $100,000 and that the company is hopelessly in solvent and that the sums stated to have been illegally misapplied was money placed with it as agent, which the com pany had no right to mingle with its general funds. Indiana Senators ItrHiIy fur Work. Indianapolis, Ind.. Sept. 4. Senator Turpie arrived home iu better health than for some time. He will take a two week's rest at French Lick Springs and then start out to stump the state. Sena tor Voorhees is not expected home for several days. It is said he is hard at work preparing a speech to be delivered here after McKiuley opens the campaign for the Republicans. Fiaudulently Dipxed of Property. Chicago, Sept. 4. A receiver has beeu asked for David Goldberg, a hard ware dealer. It is charged that Gold berg hat; fraudulently disposed of prop erty worttt $115,000. ST. CLAIR GRANTED A RESPITE. One or the Murderous Sailors of the Hes perus Gitrn a Few Days Longer. San Francisco, Sept. 4. Thomas St. Clair, one of the murderous sailors of the bark Hesperus' crew, under sentence to be hanged Sept. 21, has been granted a respite till Nov. 2 by President Cleve land. Two ethers of the crew are un der sentence for the same crime, the killing of Mate Fitzgerald, and the exe cution of St. Clair is delayed pending the action of the United States supreme court on the appeal of their cases. A similar appeal in St. Clair's case has al ready been passed on and the sentence of the lower court sustained, so there is little probability of a contrary decision in the other cases. It is probable that the three mu tinous sailors will be hanged together. The three condemned men were of the crew that conspired to kill off all of the officers of the Hesperus, including the captain's family, save his wife, who was to be kept a prisoner, and then to cruise as pirates over the southern seas. The killing of Mate Fitzgerald as he paced the quarter deck one dark nisht was the first murder agreed upon. Fitzgerald's body wa thrown overboard by the mur derers and when the cantain came on deck early m the morning he was told that the mate had fallen into the sea and drowned, but there on the quarter deck were the telltale blood-stains that the murderers had been unable to wash from the boards. Before night came on again one of the conspirators con fessed all to the captain and the plotters were thus foiled. Set Date and Place. Hastings, Neb., Sapt. 4. The Demo cratic central committee of the Fifth congressional district met here and named Oct. 3 as the time and Hastings the place for holding the congressional convention. Nothing at the meeting gave any indication whether the Demo crats would indorse McKeighan or not. Entrance Guarded by Torpedoes. London, Sspt. 4. A dispatch to The Times from Cheefoo says the Japanese fleet is assembled at Dautilus harlwr in southern Corea. The entrance is guarded by torpedoes. The Chinese fleet is mov ing between the gulf ports. The hostile armies in the vicinity of Pingyang are quiescent. ConcreMUV'.u CanienlU" rith draws. Sacramento, Cal., Sept. 4. Congress man A. Camenitti, who was recently re nominated by the Democrats of this dis trict, has notified the chairman of the district convention that under no cir cumstances will he accept the nomina tion. A second convention will be called. Chicago Lumber Dealers Suffer. Chicago, Sept. 4. Chicago lumber dealers suffer heavily from the receut forest fires. No estimate can yet be made, but from interviews had with leading lumbermen of this city, it would seem that the losses will go into the millions. Missing- Man Heard From. Salt L vke, S?pt. 4. Cass Hite, whose disapjearence from here last February created such excitement, has been heard from at the Uintah reservation, where he claims to have discovered a mine of fabulous wealth.

President Cleveland's President Cleveland's message to congress, Dec. 4. 1S93. A measure has been prepared by the appro priate congressional committee embodying tariff reform on the lines herein suggested. It is the result of much patriotic and unselfish letter to Hon. Wil liam L. Wilson, July 2, lew. You know how much I deprecated the incor poration in the pro posed bill of the in come tax feature. work. The committee hare wisely embraced la their plans a few addi tional internal reve nue taxes, including a small tax upon in comes derived from certain corporate in vestments. If "I deprecated the incorporation" in the Wilson bill "of the income tax feature, " why was it necessary to say that the ways and means committee "wisely embraced" it? If the income tax were "wisely em braced" by the ways and means com mittee "on tho lines herein suggested" in "my message" on what grounds can it be claimed "how much I depre cated" it? Which is "the result of much patri otic and unselfish work?" Editor Dana Short on Wheat. "Any great fall of the price of wheat is no longer possible, as the consump tion increases faster than the produc tion. " The above remark was made by Mr. Charles A. Dana, the editor of The Sun, when interviewed in Paris. Mr. Dana may be correct in 6tating that "any great fall in the price of wheat is no longer possible," because fanners have seen the price of wheat rumble down to bedrock since tho election of a Demo cratic administration, which was aided and abetted by The Sun. Mr. Dana is wrong, however, in stat ing t&at "the consumption increases foster than the production." There was a surplus of wheat stocks throughout the world larger by 52,000,000 busheh July 1, 1894, than on the same date two years ago, larger by 65,000,000 bushels than three years ago, larger by 80,000, 000 bushels than four years ago and larger by 86,000,000 bushels than five years ago, when the area planted to wheat was 5,000,000 acres greater than last season's area. Mr. Dana should i t le led away by wheat statistical theo Cetc Ha slwald atudy facts. IRRIGATION CONGRESS. Seventeen Western States and Territories Represented. ABOUT TWO HUNDRED DELEGATES. Canada, Russia and Several European Countries Represented George Q. Can non of Utah For Temporary Chairman. Colorado Delegates Stirred Up Over Secretary Morton's Letter. Denver, Sept. 4. The third national irrigation congress convened at the Broadway theater Monday. There were about 200 delegates in attendance, repre senting )7 western states and territories. Representatives are present from Canada, Russia and several European countries. Don J. Ramond Jooral presented cre dentials as the personal representative of President Diaz of Mexico. The United States government is represented by H. Newell, Arthur P. Davis and Morris Bean of the general land office and geo logical survey. Object rftTio Convention. The first ol-je-t of the convention will , be the formulation of a bill to be pre- 1 sented to the next congress regarding the reclamation of the arid lands of the west. After this will come the question whether or not the meeting shall indorse the recent action of congress in ceding 1,000,000 acres of arid lands to each arid land state and territory on the western proposition to have the government re claim these lands. Colorado will oppose this plan on the grounds that the west ern states and territories have not the money to develop these lands after they conio in possession of them. The congress was called to order by National President W. E. Smythe, who delivered his annual address. He said: For neariy 300 years humanity has nought to realize on this continent its long dream of independence and equality. Religious independence, born of the perils and hardships of Plymouth bay, we in herit from the Puritan. Political inde pendence f won with the sword in a 7-yeari' war, we inherit from the revolu tionary putri.it. And yet, with two such precious legacies freedom of conscience and popular sovereignty the closing hours ot the 19th century records the startling fact that only 5 percent of the American people own the land on which they dwell. Periods of depression inevitably suc ceed periods of prosperity. Is it any wonder that with the ebb of industrial tide men grow sullen and the women heart sick? Is it any wonder that the fruit of hard winters is -a crop of idle, wandering men? Is it any wonder that n irre.it emnlover of labor, who holds dividends more precious than humanity, can starve his workmen into submission? The peace and prosperity of this nation depends upon whether there is sufficient wisdom and patriotism iu this body, aud in public life of the Tinted States to add to the legacy of puritan and patriot the realization of industrial independence. For, after all, the quality of independence that comes nearest to each man's hearth stone is independence in the ability to protect those whom he loves. Capability of Western America. Estimates differ cancerning the precise capability of western America, but the most critical economist among all our students of water and land concedes that we can sustain, under a proper system of irrigation, as many people as now live within the boundaries of the United States, rounding our faith on this con servative authority, we send to the people of this troubled nation the message: "We are coming. Father Abraham, with homes for 70,000,000 more homes where irriga tion shall guarantee industrial independ ence and the small farm unit the quality of men." Another message we send to our coun trymen: "That we assemble here, not as citizens of western states, in a spirit of narrow sectionalism. We assemble as citizens of a continental republic, whose past anil whose future, whose traditions and whose aspirations, we proudly share. We seek to organize prosperity for our common country and to give new luster to our American name." Delegates Welcomed to Colorado. Governor Waite, who has gone to the Populist state convention at Pueblo, welcomed the delegates to the state through his private secretary, M. Lorenz. Mayor Van Horn and President Byers of the chamber of commerce welcomed them to the city. Ex-Governor Prince of New Mexico introduced a resolution giving every per son who had come to this convention a right to participate regardless of the repre sentation fixed by the Los Angeles con gress. After considerable discussion the resolution was referred to the committee on credentials. George Q. Cannon of Salt Lake City was unanimously chosen temporary chairman. Tho committee on credentials was then appointed and a recess taken until 2 o'clock. On reassembling the committee on credentials submitted a resolution, which was adopted, to the effect that each state and territory represented be entitled to its full vote, and that all persons ap pointed by any authority be permitted a voice in determining how the vote of his state or torritory shall be cast. Com mittees on permanent organization, reso lutions, rules and order of business, each consisting of one delegate from each state and territory, was the next busi ness transacted. Permanent Officers Chosen. After a shot t recess the committee on permanent organization recommended for permanent officers of the congress: Edward Mead of Wyoming, president; John C. Foster of Kausas, first vice president; Thomas L. Smith of Colorado, secretary; A. M. West of California, first assistant secretary; H. V. Hinckley of Kansas, second assistant secretary. Vice presidents from each state and territory were named. The report was unani mously adopted and several resolutions were introduced which were referred to the committee without debate. Among them was one by Mr. Pierce of Texas, who asked that congress be re quested to appoint, and also to ask the republic of Mexico to appoint irrigation commissioners for the purposa of agree ing upoii the division of the waters of the Rio Grande. Mr. Dennis of Canada asked that Canada bo included in ths resolution. It as agreed to. In the evening reports from the sev eral state commissioners were heard to the exclusion of any other business. Denver Delegates Stirred Up. The Denver delegates were stirred up by the receipt of the following letter from J. Sterling Morton, secretary of agriculture, in which he paid his re spects to the convention as follows: "The questions considered by thesa ir rigation conventions have nothing to do with practical irrigation. They amount simply to the coming together of a body of citizens for the purpose of petitioning congress for grants of lands and acession of whatever control or ownership the general government may have of the waters of the arid region." A delegate objected to the words of Mr. Morton as an insult to the conven tion and moved that the document be re turned to Washington. J. E. Leet ap peared in the role of peacemaker and the letter was placed on file. COLORADO DEMOCRATS JUBILANT. Two Fact Iocs 3t the Party Burled the Hatchet and Named a Ticket. Denver, Sept, 4. The two factions of the Democratic party, both holding state coayentioni here Monday appointed conference committees. These commit tees drew up a platform and nominated a full state ticket which satisfied both factions. Che party now stands united for the folljwiug ticket: Justice su preme ccrtr Vincent D. Markham, Arapahoe county; governor, C. S. Thomas, Arapahoe; lieutenant governor, F. J. Weston. Pueblo; secretary of state, Dr. J. Ernest Meyer, Lake; auditor, J. S. Swan, Garfield; treasurer, C. Barela, Las Animas; attorney general, J. M. Branson, El Paso; superintendent of public instruction, Mary C. C. Bradford, Arapahoe; regents state university, F. E. Wheeler, Mineral; Mary B. Macon, Arapahoe. The platform and ticket were pre sented to the two factions in joint ses sion and adopted, after which the double convention adjourned. Democrats are jubilant now that the hatchet is buried and an active campaign will be made. The platform is out and out for silver, but has nothing to say about President Cleveland or his administration. Commander Bundy's Staff. Cincinnati, Sept. 4. Commander-in-Chief W. A. Bundy of the National Sons of Veterans issued his first general order, naming his staff officers as follows: Ad jutant general, H. V. Skillman, Coalton, O.; inspector general, Albert C. Blairs del, Lowell, Mass.; judge advocate gen eral, C. W. Harrington, Kansas; surgeon general, S. Weldon Young, Seattle, Wash.; chaplain-m-chief, Rev. W. J. Patton, Milwaukee, Wis. Colonel Bundy has established headquarters in this city. Brect:lnrt4f Speaking Day and Night. LEXiNQTONY.Ky., Sept. 3.

He will speak here for the third time in this con test Wednesday night. The Owens Settle campaign committee also an nounce list of eaxrd. among them be ing many pror. moat- o.tizens. Don t Believe the Story. London, Sept. 4. The officials of the Chinese legation here discredit the Tien Tsin dispatch which states that General Yeh and 700 Chinese officers have been rewarded for the victory of the Chinese over the Japanese at Ping Yang. They assert that if 700 officers directed opera tions at Ping Yang the total force en gaged must have been 50,000 instead of 12,000, as originally reported. Trade Union Congress. Norwich, Sept. 4. The trades union congress opened here. About 400 dele gates were present. John Burns, M. P., the labor leader, was elected chairman. Which It Never Had. After reading Senator Gray's report on the sugar scandal one is compelled to believe that with proper encourage ment the senator could give even the Democratic party a good character. Philadelphia ftess. CHILE FOR PROTECTION. Premiums to Be Paid to Foster the Growth of New Industries. Through the bureau of American re publics of the department of stato we learn that tho Chilean government has vigorously taken up the question of in dustrial progress and seeks the co-operation of the local agricultural, mining and manufacturing societies. In order to augment tho productive manufactur ing power of Chile, the Society For the Promotion of Manufactures has suggest ed to the government that the sum of 600,000 be disbursed annually for a number of years as premiums for the es tablishment of certain industries, to bo divided as follows: Ironworks capable of producing a cer tain number of tons of iron per an- UUlU. ................................. ..9A,lAA? Cotton mill 0,000 Linen factory 0,000 Nitrate of potash factory 25,000 Superphosphate factory 23,000 Glass factory 60,000 Earthenware factory 60,000 Back factory 50,000 Hat factory. .. 25,000 White paper factory 25.000 Match factory, wax or wood 25,000 This attempt to foster and develop the production of manufacturing enter prises in Chile is to be supplemented by extensively advertising the possibilities of that country in these several direc tions. To the manufacturers in the United States it opens up a prospeot for further competition, especially in South American trade, which is of equal interest to both labor and capital. Republicans Decreased Our Debt. Can you tell me how the debt of the United States and the amount of taxation compare. per capita of population, with those of other countries? L. M. McCraz. According to calculations at the cen sus bureau, the debt of the United States amounts tof 45 per family of five persons, or $9 per capita. On a similar basis of calculation the debt of Ger many is $400 per family of five persons, or f 80 per capita; the debt of France is $881 per family, or $76 per capita; of Austro-Hungary it is $354 per family,' or almost $71 per capita; of Great Brit ain it is $337 per family, or $67.40 per capita. The average proportion of cus toms and internal revenue paid by each person in the countries mentioned below during the years 1882 to 1890 was as follows: Australia $15 00 Argentine. 1360 France. 1320 Great Britain.... 9 TO Portugal $7 it$ Germany 6 69 Austria. e 82 Denmark 6 26 Canada 6 00 Belgium 6 71 UnTted States.... 5 65 Holland 0 08 Italy. H6 885 Spain It will thus be seen that, on the cen sus bureau's basis of calculation, both the per capita of debt and of revenue contribution is less in the United States than in any of the other countries enu merated.

Xe Sfoba 2a Parable, bat Now MU reoale HaTe True Understanding He Prepareth Them For a Life of Xaie and Fleaty. They Toll Not; Neither Do They Eat. O great and all wiso Grover, once more we thank thee for thy bountiful goodness toward us. O great master, wo thank thee for the privilege of putting sackcloth upon our backs and of sitting in ashes and of eat ing thy free trade soup. O great master, we know that thon speakest in parables to -us, for hast thou not said in one of thy speeches that wheat would be worth $1.25 per bushel, and that wages would bo high if we would only make thee our president? Now, great master, it is all clenr to us that thou speakest in parables, aud that thy meaning was that, when McKiuley and Reed should bo elected iu lS'JO, then we shouldst receive a high prico for our wheat and high wages for our labor. But, great master, we love thee still, for we know that when thou art done with us that we will be fit sub jects for a dime museum, there to earn plenty and rest in peace. O great master, we know that the Breckinridge scandal has grieved thee sorely, and we know that when thou art grieved thou goest a-fishing in Buzzard's bay. O great master, the supply of thy Cleveland badges is running short. Tho season of the howling blizzards is ap proaching, and wo have not tho where withal to replace thy badges. O great master, wo know thou hast often told us that the road of a free trader is a hard road to travel iu this country, but blessed is he that eudureth to the end, even though his friends bo not ablo to recognize him. If thou wilt only veto this Wilson bill, wo will stand by theo iirmly till 1890. Then wo will hurrah loudly for McKiuley and Reed. O great Grover, wo are growing thin upon the substance of things doubtful and things not seen. Wilt thou not do something, O great master, before thy term of oflice dost expire, for then thou wilt be a nobod-, a nincompoop with no power and not able to do anything. O great master, what is conress do ing? Is it steeped iu the Silurian mud of partisan prejudice or hidden by the vapor rising 'midst its pampered imag ination. It has blown its trumpet long and loud, but it has done us no good. O great master, has this great con gress which was ou thv hands dropped through the crater into the mire and stuck there? Of a truth, master, there is but little danger that archaeological research will ever unearth its lonely habitat, for is it not true, O Grover, that only the crudest fossils exist iu that lower strata? O great Grover, that free trade song which thou has sung is but as a chest nut. It has been sung and sung and sung again with variations. Yea, verily, it has been sung time and time again until all the peoplo have grown weary of its dull monotone. O great master, why hast thou not done something iu these long IS months of our weary wait, thou who hast had to bear with the lean of thy kind? It would even bo a merciful act, O great and good Mr. Grover, to drive us from this earthly existence, for we are loug ing, longing, longing for a change. John D. Winn.
