Newman Grove Herald. Salt Luce, Utah, has been troubled lately by the grumblings of earthquake, and these disturbances, it seems, have come to a head in the form of a volcano, which has burst forth in the lake a short distance south of Promontory atation on 'the Great Salt lake. The volcano has been active for some days, smoke rush ing so high through the water and up Into the air as to be seen at a great dis , tanee. The people in the region are apprehensive of danger. The editor of the Review of Reviews comments in the March number on the Spanish program of reforms in Cuba, the United States senate's attitude toward the arbitration treaty with England, the immigration bill, the proposed Interna tional monetary conference. President elect McKinley's cabinet selectionstbe recent senatorial elections, the New York Trust investigation, the famine situation in India, the affair of the Greeks in THE INAUGURATION. Tomorrow boob will dote the term of Grover Cleveland as president of the United States and begin that of Major William McKinlsy. Lmeola's comprehensive, homely phrase "a government of the people, by the people, for the people" is to be illus trated for another four years by a ma of the people, who will be a man for the people. Able,, conscientious, thorough, fair and honest, he has come to his high position ia a way by which any honest, --- ihdastrioas and ambitions AaMrieaa boy may come to public service. Whether aa a lad, a young man in the army, a young lawyer, a congressman; a governor ora leader of his party inone of the greatest campaigns in the politi cal history of the nation, Major McKin ley has bean the pride of his friends, and has had the profound, respect of his political opponents. He will make one of our very beet presidents, ranking for disinterested patriotism and love of our free institu tions with Lincoln and Washington; for generosity to opposing elements, with Grant; for far-seeing statesman ship with such leaders as Clay, Adams ad Blaine, All true Americans will wish Presi dent McKinley the greatest success in tas discharge of the duties of his great oanee, and many prayers (which are the souls sincere desire, expressed or un derstood,") will be offered up today for the welfare of oar beloved land, and the progress of the people towards true in dependence and lasting prosperity. CRIMINAL ACTION BROUGHT. FRIENDS SAY GOODBYE. Great Demonstration as Major McKinte j Leaves Canton. J is a bushe8s jot ACT s AS EMXKBT. Eagese Mem Charges With the Eafcr-tle-awataf State Fands. Criminal action was begun this after noon (Feb. 24,) against Eugene Moore, ex-auditor of the state for the embezzle ment of $23,000 state money, being in surance fees collected by him during bis last term of office. The complaint is signed by the Attor ney General, and recites nine counts, which in effect charge Moore with em bezzlement and larceny of the money, and failure to account for the same to the state. Attorney General Smythand County Attorney Munger join in the prosecution, thus depriving the case of political or partisan features. Mr. Moore's attor- neya are H. C. Brome of Omaha ana Reed of Madison, who was formerly law partner of W. V. Allen. It is understood that Moore's defense will be that the act under which the fees were collected was unconstitutional, and that the claim will be set up that no fees are legal except those required to be paid by the Btate treasurer. Mr. Moore, it is claimed, will go west as soon as the preliminaries of the case are adjusted, and that he will rustle around among his mining property and friends there for the cash wherewith to make good the shortage.

The 4MiKal train nassed over the Ohio state "line and ouTot'the eld McFJnley dis trict at 8:40 -last- Jiut. The dense thrones at stations did not decrease. The passengers were all well settled in. their places in. the first half hour, and then begm the discussion of the Bvening's doings. AH the newspaper men agreed that no such crowd of Can tonians had ever been out before. "Don't forget the workingman, major," cried one man, as the president elect mounted the train. He bowed his acknowledgements. Those about him saw he was visibly affected, and as he came from the train platform to greet his wife after the Canton farewell, bis eyes were moist and voice tremulous with emotion. The Grand Army band played "Home. Sweet Home," as the train pulled out of Canton, and this was still sounding in touching refrain in Mrs. McKinley's ears as the major came to sit beside her. The hundred miles' to Pittsburg was an uninterrupted succession of ovations, although the train had not stopped until Pittsburg station at any point 'but at a water tank. Mr. Webb Hayes of Cleveland, sob of ex-President Hayes of the escort com mittee, stood by the major at some sta tions, but at many stations he appeared alone, springing quickly from his chair, ever alert to return the compliment of the ovation with his acknowledgements. Beaver Falls, New Brighton and Rochester are grouped .about Beaver,' Senator Quay's home, and at these points acres of people Had gathered about the stations and as the president elect appeared there were fireworks and whistles and other demonstrations. The Pennsylvanians are no less enthus iastic than the Buckeyes of McKinley's own district. Just at midnight the train again started on its journey eastward, with the majority of the party commencing to think of retiring for the night. Crete, the foreign policy of Unsw, tne position of England, France, and the other great powers, and many other matters of current interest. The Cadiz (Ohio) Republican calls attention to the fact that during the last two weeks the trade journals report the placing of orders for more than 100,000, 000 tons of steel rails; that these are not for new railroads, but' for repairs where needed. These orders involve a very considerable business and mean the em ployment of thousands of men for a year, in all the various lines of industry, from the preparation of the ore to the laying of the rails in the track, together " with all the allied industries, connected with the output of the rails. The iron trade is one of the very best indicators of the general state of the business com munity, because in these times it per meates so many avenues, and is our most valuable metal in more ways than a few. In 1890 Omaha had a 'population of only about 30,000. Did the growth of Omaha from 30,000 to over 125,000 in the BacceediBg ten years hurt the state of Nebraska? Did this growth of Nebras ka's metropolis retard the growth of any other part of the state? Would Lincoln, Fremont, Grand Island, Colambus, Cen tral City, or even Fairbury, have grown more rapidly than they did had Omaha reaaained stationary? Did not Omaha capital help to build up scores of Ne Ixaaka towns and Tillages, and, what is more, help to develop industries that have made a home market for Nebraska's products? Would any town m Nebraska have been more prosperous u the city of Omaha were on the east side of the Missouri and paid tribute to the state treasury of Iowa as does Sioux City? Omaha Bee. ITS LEGITIMATE OUTCOME. The present legislature is burdened with a class of men whose lack of gener alship and political sagacity onough to defeat any party, however good and strong it may be. The major fraction of tne supposed majority nave ion aw uj ratline and slashing at their friends that they have permitted the repablkan auaority to place them in many disgust ing aad silly attitudes. Many of the Manhws lark ttir r-1 ---- th wide difference between baudiagup and tearing down. They are seised with a mania to cheapen everything, which ay" culminate in a law requiring all ewspapers to advocate cheap farm pro aaee, aad another law to compel the to shrivel up their atomanns, fashion, so they can exist on aad mice. The above ia from the Platte Couaty of last Thursday, aad is a very of what the heat of the pop- are bow saying ia lagsraio populist. JUST SO! The populists are beginning to talk out and tell what they think of each other, and the opinions they have of the way in which affairs are. being conducted by them in the legislature. The follow ing is from the Schuyler Quill edited by John Sprecher, ex-senator from this dis trict, a populist of populists: The machine is now in good working order and those who were on the inside and part and parcel of the institution are strictly in it, so to speak. Theorganiza tion, not only of the legislature, but the state offices and the state boards has heen machine work from the start. No ranublican combination in the state ever engaged in more unprincipled schemes than our so-caiiea reform pariy. xu riffraff" who organized the party and made the fight of 1890 has been read out and the lawyers, bankers, dndes and stinkers are carrying things with a high hand. Dissatisfaction prevails in all ranks and the dirty work of the past week has disgusted the old line populists to such an extent that already they are ready to step out and let the politicians have the party. - AN INCREASE MADE BY SENATE. tk'eOriatealBUl Far TYaaaatfMte laal Exveattlea STS.ese.

Promptly at 6 p. m. yesterday the bands, military club and citizens' bands began to organise in the city hall square. Captain Harry Frease, who commanded the famous Canton troop during the campaign, was )iif marflhal. and Cantain H. L. Kuhns, his chief of staff. They soon brought order out of chaos in the assem bled multitude, and more devoted es cort man never had than that whioh shortly before 7 o'clock marched to the McKinley home. A platoon of white gloved policemen headed the line and back of this came the Canton troop. This is an organization oi nearly luu representative citizens, organized early in the campaign to receive, escort and otherwise entertain the visiting dele gates. They wore military coats, broad brimmed hats, top boots, light colored gauntlets, and are all well mounted and well drilled in cavalry tactics. The troop left' for Washington today and will participate in the inaugural parade. Following the troop came Canton's famous Grand Army band. This in turn was followed by the Third batal ion, Eighth regiment, Ohio National guard. This regiment was to have been honorary escort to the president-elect on the trip to Washington and from the capital station to the hotel, but the fail ure to secure satisfactory railroad ar rangements prevented this, as well as other Ohio military organizations to join in the inaugural demonstrations. Three companies, a signal and a hospi tal corps, constitute the battalion. In the order named were the Canton Business Men's association, Grand Army posts, old soldiers, the First Ward Republican club, of which Major Mc Kinley is a member, the Second Ward Republican club, other clubs and socie ties and unorganized citizens of Canton, Massillon and other surrounding towns. Thus organized the column marched through the public square and up Mar ket street bill, passing the McKinley home and then counter-marching on Market street. When the Business Men's association was opposite the Mc Kinley gate the column halted and waited for Major and Mrs. McKinley and their attendants to enter the car riage in waiting. This carriage was drawn by four splendidly caparisoned horses and around it the members of the Canton Business Men's association stationed themselves as a Kuard of honor. Two mounted aides rode abreast of the car riage horses, and the business men com nleted the hollow square in whioh the carriage moved. Electric Ulaaaiaatlons. The McKinley arch just at the foot of Market Street bill was illuminated as flarTmpgg fell over the city, and shone resplendent as the column marched under it, going to and from the Mc Kinley house. Hundreds of colored in candescent lights sent their soft rays far along the street on either side, and made bright for the time the decorations and statuary, now worsted by tne weainer. It was probably illuminated for the last time and the marchers as they passed looked backward for a .last glimpse of what is now the most conspicuous re minder of the exciting campaign, in Canton last fall, in which hundreds of thousands of people from all -quarters participated. It will be with regret that the erasing of this structure will be viewed by Cautonians. There was no detour from the direct route to the station made by the column. Along the line the carriage containing the president-elect and wife was kept in a halo of brilliant light from flambleans emitting lurid red rays, replaced from tmft to time as they burned dimly. At various points along the line colored fires were also burned, and though there was no organised effort in that line, in dividuals at various places sent sky rockets and roman candles whizzing through the air. As the head of the column reached the trahV and halted, the rear pushed forward, and the crowds from the sidewalks mingled with the marchers, until the platform t .s:i vu iUm. .-:- AHlllirmiawaj wwi " wro mtinij ibination car with smoking apart- xncnts.-and back of it the dining oar..

Tillman Delivers a Speech on Armor Plate Frpuds. Then coming to the armor plate ques tion, he said: "Instead of U3 controlling the nsonbpolies, the monopolies have this senate in their Test pocket." Senator Hawley. at this charge, half rose from 'the chair, as though he would interpose an objection, then changed his mind and sank back. "I would hate to say , or even insinu ate Mr. Tillman continued, twirling his glasses in his hand'that these armor plats manufacturers have .their 'paid BgVSMB IB MBO vo. Thest Mr. Hawley rose, beginning: "Does the senator dare" Mr. Tillman took the words from his mouth. "I dare to say," he shouted, "that so far ns I can see there are things here that can be explained on no other theory." Hawlev Braaas Bias as a Liar. "If the senator dares to my or even' to insinuate such a disgraceful thing, he says.what is untrue, and what .is un worthy of a gentleman," Mr. Hawley replied very deliberately and emphati cally. The galleries were crowded and at this exchange of charges a deep nusn suc ceeded their buzzing. Senator Tillman was unruffled. He thrust a hand into bis trousers pockets nonchalantly, and looking over to Sen ator Hawley, coolly returned: '.'To that I can only my, it is the galled jade that winces." Senator Hawley turned pale and trembled visibly. "If the senator applies that to me, I have a sufficient answer," he said angrily. Two or three senators gath ered around Senator Hawley, endeavor ing apparently to calm him. Finally he walked with them' into the cloak room, while Senator Tillman continued his speech. "I do not want to say any thing harsh, God knows I have got enough vitrol in me now." The GeTerameat Looted. Going on with the subject of armor plate, he said he could see no explana tion for the state of affairs except that the manufacturers had their friends in the senate chamber. There was proof that the government was to be looted to the extent of $2,000,000 or $3,000,000, ret senators said: "We can't help it." The trusts had the government down and their hands in its pockets, yet if any one opposed them, if any one pro posed that the government do its own work, make its own armor plate, sena tors were quick to bring out the awful specter of socialism." Said Mr. Tillman: "The country's eyes are on us. We are already dis graced because we do not hasten to do the bidding of Wall street fast enough. The touch of the button between Wall street and the senate seems 10 nave been broken somewhat lately, and so the metropolitan press is set upon us to whip us into line. ' Continuing, Mr. Tillman said there was still a darker rjaae in the history of the dealings of the Carnegies with the government. He referred to the charges of making armor in 1894. "The thieves were caught," he said, but they were released. The secretary imposes a fine, but this glorious presi dent of ours, who, thank God, goes out of office in two days more, remitted the fine. ' And yet, in the fac3 of these facts a senator with his thick skin gets up and undertakes to twit ine with slander ing the senate." -He continued to lecture the senate, saying he had no doubt the proposition would go through. "The old guard never surrenders," he exclaimed. "Ton get up here and squabble over your little $10,000 items and let these million dollar steals go through like greased lightning." He had, he said, convinced himself that the cost of producing armor plate did not exceed $200 per ton. He said, however, that the naval committee had placed the amount at $400 because it was necessary to do so to reach an agreement, and because they had in mind that the bill must run the gauntlet of the house. "Where," he said, "gag law is in full force and effect; where a man, an Amer ican, must crawl on his bglly like a worm, or fawn like a whipped cur to get recognition or anything." He said they had also borne in mind that it would have to run the gauntlet of the moguls of the senate committee on ap propriations. Mr. Quay followed the speech with a motion to hv Mr. Chandler's motion to reduce to $300 per ton on the table. The motion was lost yeas, 12; nays, 36. And which placet.

One is always expected to say thing when looking for the first time on a new baby, and, as it is neither kind nor safe to tell the truth and say that the little, red, podgy creature doesn't look like anything, an English sine gives a list of unpatented copyrighted remarks to be used oa sash occasions; ' "Isn't he sweet?

"How bright he seems." "Did you ever sea such a sweet little mouth?" "Isn't he just too sweet for any thing?" "The dear little darling. I never saw so young a baby look so intelligent."

"It was over ia Tops ham, during Tom's undergraduate ex perience at Bowdoin. A deacon had ar--gued that ' Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed.' The Mosaic law didn't hit young Mr. Reed, so he jumped up and drawled: 'Sup posing, sir, we take the law .which the gentleman has quoted and see where the logical deduction would bring us oat For instance, one man kills another, and another man jumps in and kills the man who killed the first, and so on un til we come to the last man on earth? Who is going to kill him? He can't com mit suioide. It is contrary to law, for the same law forbids it Mow, deacon, what'a the last man going to do? Must he wait until he is struck by lightning?' "The logic was unfair, but it won the debate. " Lewiston Journal. 1500 00 1000 00 3130 03 750 00 2H00 00 1600 00 HE STIES UP SEHAT0B HAWLEY.

Charges That the Armor Plate Maaafac turers Have Their Paid A cent I" h" Senate Who Were Robbing the Gevera- meat Takes a Tarn at Speaker Rejoices Tkat Cleveland Is'Golag. . Tp Washington, March 2. The senate pressed steadily forward on appropria tion bills Monday, making such prog ress that no further apprehension is felt as to the passage of the great fiscal measures. The District of Columbia bill was passed early in the day. The naval bill brought out a spirited debate on the price of armor plate and the-es tablishment ox a government armor rac 'tory. The bill was laid aside at 9:90 p. m. for an executive session. Senator Tillman provoked a turbulent scene when he charged that the armor plata .manufacturers had their paid agents in that body who were robbing the govern ment. The charge was resented by Senator Hawley of Connecticut, where upon Mr. Tillman replied that "the galled jade winces," and it looked for a time as though a personal conflict waa imminent, until Mr. Hawley was -escorted to the cloakroom. Senators Hawley and Squire had ipoken against Senator Chandler's amendment to the naval appropriation bill to reduce the price of armor plate to 900 a ton, and Senator EUtins had complained of the lack of information en the cost of armor plate, when Sena tor Tillman took the floor. J "Although a member of this naval committee,' began Mr. Tillman, who followed Mr, Elkias, "and though I have given as much time to this as I could spare from my other duties, I am not able to give the senator as much; in formation as he wants."

The house galleries were thronged with visitors all day, bnt the crowds witnessed nothing beyond the dullest of routine matters until the last half hour of the session, when the bill to prohibit the transmis sion of detailed accounts of prize fights by mail or telegraph, was brought up. This led to a very lively skirmish, in which prize fighting was denounced on all sides, and the advocatas of the bill insisted that the "sickening details should be suppressed in the interest of good morals," but the bill met strenu ous opposition on the ground that it would tend to establish a censorship of the press. At the end of the debate the adversaries of the measure outvoted the friends of the bill on several 'filibuster s ing motions, but an agreement for a re cess until 10 o'clock today put an end to hostilities. The bill now becomes the unfinished business whenever the call of committees is reached, bnt as conference reports have right of way, 'it is doubtful whether that order ol busi ness will again be reached this session. The senate bill to test the merits of-the patent' postal card of the Economic Pos-' tal association was laid on the table. "But I am abb) to say,'' he added with emphasis, "that no recent expend iture of the government has been, so reeking with fraud and so disgraceful to thorn connected with it. When Secre tary Whitney made the first contracts for armor plate it was understood that these enormous prices were to be paid osdy f or a time oa aosouat of the great Special Baak Legislation.
