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.

Will you be kind enough to state the aionant
of the money in the national treasury on March

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:

It will bo seen that within four years
the cash in the treasury increased bv
108,824,509. In this connection it is
interesting to compare the amount of
the national debt, less cash in the treas

supplied by the same official authority.

rate of $3.05 per head of our population.

Admiral Walker Says Its tha
Finest In the World.
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

Cholera Ki.sts In Itcrgern.
Washington. Sept. 4. Consul Gen

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

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.

Editor Dana Short on Wheat.
"Any great fall of the price of wheat
is no longer possible, as the consump

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

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.

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.

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.

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. Monday's Baseball Came.

EOUS AVAIL US MUCH.
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.
