The ; lla about KE\VS \ FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS O'neral Francis Marion , Draks Visits Trends in Search of Information , TALKS ABOUT THE COMING CAMPAIGN He Thinks It Will Ho n Oulet , One lu Which tlie Kepulillrnns Will He ttaslly Vlctorluns Over All Opposition. General F. M. Drake of Centervllle spent a few hours In the city yesterday and took a room at the a rand , where ho met a large number of prominent republicans. He came here chiefly for the purpose , he said , of callIng - Ing upon Hon. George F. Wright , John N. Baldwin anJ other gentlemen here whom ho has "known for years. Mr. Wright and he wcro boys together In the eastern part ot the state. Incidentally , of course , General Drake desired to ascertain how the western Iowa republicans felt concerning his candi dacy for governor. "I have bocn visiting a dozen or ntteen places In the state , " said he , In a cheery , pleasant I manner , "but not altogether for the purpose | of making a campaign. In fact , I don't expect to make much of a campaign. I met n few friends at Atlantic last evening , andnfter shaking hands with a few of my old friends and acquaintances here I will re turn homo. You can put me down as a re publican all the way along. 1 cast my first vote for General Fremont , and have voted for every other catdldate for president since , and at all state and county elections , except during the four years I was In the army. You can also put this down as a sort of crystallzatlon of my political ballet after watching and studying all my life : What ever Is 'good , Inside the government and out of It , must be found Inside of the- repub lican party. The best advlco I can give my fellow republicans Is to stay Insldo the re publican party while It settles the grave questions of the day. There arc no other means of settling them. In the campaign In Iowa this fall both state and national issues will be discussed. I have no platform of my own. The platform that the republicans udopt will be my platform , and I will stand upon It proud and conscious that I am stand ing for the beat Interests of the whole people of the state. "Tho monetary question will be an Impor tant factor , and the position that the makers of the state platform will take upon It will bo my position. I think Senator AllL'on's Marshalltown speech furnishes the keynote of the Iowa and the national campaign upon this subject. Mr. Allison favors a platform pro viding for an International agreement on the coinage of silver. There Is no Issue between the factions of the republican party today on this subject because there are no factions. The democrats are torn up , and are still a tearing each other to pieces over It. The administration democratic party Is composed of and controlled by monometalllsts. They care nothing for silver , but are willing to Join the bulk of the party and acqulese In anything. Democratic principle has always been anything for success ; republican prin ciple something for the good of the people. I am willing to trust the solution of the grave monetary problems to the republican party. What else can you do ? We are Just like the oU darkey who was asked which he pre ferred to ride upon , a railway train going at lightning speed over the land or a big ship on the ocean. 'Well , you tee , bow , when yo1 Is on do train an' runs Inter de ditch an' gits all smashed up you Is right dar , but If yo' Is on de water an' de ship goes down , whar Is you ? ' Wo are not ready to trust our national life to the uncertainties of a ship , rudderless , pllotless , chartleM , with a commander who Is always 'at sea , ' with land lubbers for crew , and "as liable to sail to the bottom with the first storm as to ever reach a safe haven. "I do not think wo will have a very ex citing campaign In Iowa this fall. It will b a mild , healthful victory , Just the kind that will do us thtj'niost good.11 " ' During ! the afternoon the general shook hands with a largo number of citizens and impressed them very favorably. He Is , a fine looking , .vigorous gentleman , whose af fability makes him very approachable. There Is no question , whatever , but that he would give a popular administration of the state government It the convention shoull' aec fit to select him for Its otandard bearer. lloniilson's Itle Cloak Saturday wo will close out our entire stock of ladles' and children' . ] spring capes and Jackets they will bo nearly given away.

Broadway church was filled to overflowing at the IMerson meeting last evening , A select quartet sang "Stealing ) Away , " after which prayer was offered by Rev. J. J. Parker ot Norfolk. Mr. Itlgdon sang "Softly rnd Tenderly , " and a number of selections were rendered by the chorus choir , under the very able direction of Mr. Clarence Judson - son , who U himself a very tnveet singer. The text was Exodus xll. , 14 : "When I see the blood I will pass over you. " "Running through the entire scripture , " said Mr. I'ierson , "wo find that without the shedding of blood there Is no remission of sin. The llnt blood was she ! in Eden on account of sin , sacrifices were made for ages to atone for sin , and so wo may follow this scarlet thread entirely through the scrip tures. When the first born was to bo sacri fices , death never entered where blood from a sacrifice was sprinkled upon the door post. "Out with the death of Christ this shedding - ding of blood for sin ceased. When Christen on the cross said , 'It Is finished , ' It meant that man's redemption was accomplished. I read that Christ , our Passover , was sacrificed for us. Let His blood bo applied to your .heart , , and eternal death will never come to your soul.

Verdict for lolouel Ileod , The jury In the Duffee personal damage case , where the plaintiff asks a largo ellee ot Colonel Reed's fortune for having beta accidentally shot at Manawa last summer , deliberated oter the testimony all ot Thun- day night and reached a verdict yesterday morning. Just before the hour for convening court arrived , The verdict was that the Manawa management had no responsibility for the accident and that Duties had not re ceived any personal damages that Colonel Reed should pay for. It Is reported that Colonel Reed offered him $100 before a suit was started } but It wan refused. The court costs amount to about $200 , which the com plainant must pay. No notice of appeal has been given. bA M.VKK4 HOMK ( lood OoTcrnment Club Biiecrsli Iteforms to Improve Munlclpil Flnnncrs. The Good Government club held a meetIng - Ing last evening In the south wing of the county court house for the purpose of re ceiving the report of Its special committee appointed several days ago to formulate a reply to the criticisms ot the mayor and others and to refute the charge that the club was engaged only In a destructive as sault upon the city's finances and credit without being able to suggest nny methods to relieve the conditions It was assailing. The committee consisted of Hon. L. W. Ross , Judge W. C. James and Attorney C. M , Harl. The report was read Immediately after the proceedings ot the previous mcet- liiK were approved. It begins with a vigor ous reply to the criticisms made upon It , and calls attention to the fact that the organiza tion Is composed of citizens and taxpayers who should not be charged with attacking the city's credit or suggesting repudiation ot Its obligations. Such a course was not the purpose ot the club , but Its objects were to aid In bringing about wise business methods whereby the city's credit could be main talned and the payment of Its "outstanding obligations made possible at the earliest pos sible date. Attention Is called to the fact that similar financial situation In many other cities has called forth similar organization ? , having for their object the betterment of muni cipal government. The avowed purpose of the present city administration to effect a rad'- cal reduction of public expenditures rather than an Increased assessment Is warmly commended. A sweeping denial Is made of the charge that the figures furnished by the club have been erroneous or Intentionally misleading , but asserts that all the figures were taken from official sources. Then follows seven recommendat'ons , which are given as the result of the Investigations and deliberations of the cub. ! The first deals with the water works problem and calls for a legal Inquiry Into the validity of the com pany's contract with the city , nnd recom mends that the city at once abrogate thu contract and bring the proper action that Its validity may be determined by the courts , to the end that a new contract may be made that will relieve the city of the burdensome water rents. The exemption of the company from municipal taxation is pronounced Illegal and unjustifiable. The second calls for a halt In the system of putting general fund warrants -Into Judg ments , for the payment of which a heavy Judgment tax must bo levied , a tax greater than Is contemplated by law. The third provides that a part of the sinkIng - Ing fund not available for the paymsnl of obligation for which It is pledged for a num ber of years , shall bs Invested in the pur chase of Interest bearing obligations of the city.Tho The fourth calls for refunding of the outstanding general fund warrants nt a lower rate of Interest In long time bonds. The fifth recommends the consolidation of the chief of police and marshal's offices. The sixth demands rigid economy and the careful Investigation by the city council of all the departments of the city government and the checking of useless expenditures. The seventh objects to the abuses that have grown up under the power given the council to order Improvements at the expense of abutlng property , and suggests a chanrT In the general law relating to street Im provements. The report was adopted without dissent. Speeches were made by Ross , McCabe , llarl and others. Mo Irnip.

At yesterday in.pr\Jng's ( \ session of the supreme council" < Catholic Knights ' of America the convention again resolved Itself Into n committee of the whole to complete considera tion of the report of the committee on laws. The most Important feature In this respect was the debate ou the question of creating the supplemental cilice of supreme organizer , a position suggested to Increase the member ship of the order. During the discussion Archbishop Gross of Oregon took the floor for the first time during the convention proceedings and warmly urged the necessity ot doing something to Infuse new life In the order and Insure an Increase In member ship. He berated old togylsm and expressed the hope that action would be taken to avert Impending peril of a decay In membership. The venerable archbishop's remarks were ap plauded and the amendment to create the office was finally referred back to the com mittee on laws for reconsideration. That committee had previously made an adverse report. At noon the committee of the whole re ported progress and will resume Its sitting this afternoon , when the exhaustive work of considering the law committee's report will ba completed , officers will bo elected and the labors of the tenth council will bo at an end. end.The western delegates held a caucus at the Dsllono and decided to promote the chances of Hon. E. D. McGulnncss of Providence. R. I. , for the supreme presidency , but Mr. McGulnncas this morning positively declined to allow his name to go before the convention. He gave as a reason that business duties would not permit acceptance of the position. This prac tically makes Hon. James David Col 'man of Louisiana a strong possibility for the execu tive chair of the organization. Many of the delegates have urgeil his name , and It Is probable that he will be the next supreme president , If he wants the place. The Mis souri delesatlnn. however. Is energetically booming Vice. President Hannaeur of St. Louis. If Mr. Coleman Is elected supreme presldenl Washington , D. C. , will , In al probability , bo selected as the next place of meeting. The Mobil' crowd , backed by many southern delegates. Is making a strong fight for the picturesque Alabama town. CONCERNING THU SINKING FUND.

TM&nproposed constltutlona amendment was repofleil' alverwly upon by the majority of the"timmllteo on law. ' , bu Mr. McGulnncss , rel4respi'ltlng tlie minority filed a report favoramq 'to' the Idea. In committee of tlid whole , with Mr. Duffy of Mcmihls , Tcnn. , In the , char ! , the sub Ject-'camo up for qn animated discussion which lasted from ; 3p to 5:30 : o'clock. 1 was one of the warmest , contests of the con ventlon , during which Mr. 'Stuewo of Man tana took occasion > to- pay K'.s rcspecto t congress , anJ said that1 tlfo repel ! of the sll vcr' bill had closed \7tsjcfii iliver mines , an is many western. Catholic' knights were poor In consequence thereof they wanted cheaper assessments. Mr. Harrington of Nebraska EiibtalnoJ the sentiment of the' western dele gates and sonlewhat dramatically appealed to the cnVcntlon to do something- that would protect the shattered earnings of the laborIng - Ing men of the west who belonged to the order. After a prolonged debate the minor ity report was adopted by a vote ot 27 to 21 , and pavjed the committee of tlie whole : It lequlrcs'a two-thirds Vote of the council to ' male a constl'tuflonal amendment. Several favorable reports from archbishops throughout the country were read , In which the right reverend gentlemen encouraged the organization. At C o'clock the convention took a recess until 8 o'clock , after rising as a committee of the whole nnd completing most of Its exhaustive consideration of the committee on Uws. At 8 o'clock last night Supreme President Shlno called the council to order and the delegates listened to the reports of W. C. Smith of Kentucky , chairman of the com- mlttoo on appeals and grievances ; II. B. Foldhaus of Kentucky , chairman ol the committee on finance ; F > J. Mahcr ol Mlss'sslppl , chairman of tlie committee on mileage and psr diem ; J. J. Huffy of Tennes see , chairman of the committee on new bus iness ; J. C. Purcell ot Pennsylvania , chair man of the committee oq rates , and Major General Kodac Kadeskl of Marshall , III. chairman ot the committee on uniform rank. The reports were received and adopted. GIVE THE GIRLS A CHANCE. General Kadeskl gained the plaudits of the feminine spectators when ho Introduced a resolution permitting the wives , daughter : and relatives of Catholic Knights to form auxiliaries In the branches ot the order , pro vided said auxiliaries were purely social and the lad'es deprived of active participation In the deliberations of the organization. Will appreciation of tbo persistent fight for wo man's right made by the handsome delegate from Illinois the convention finally passeil the resolution. A number of communications were referred to various subcommittees to act upon during the ensuing year and report at the next su preme council.

IS PUBLIC DISHONOR. But greater than all other objections Is .hat of public dishonor and repudiation. No trick or sophistry can make the scaling of a debt to mean anything but dishonesty and cheating. It Is possible there Is something jchlnd the free coinage scheme not really discovered. It U possible It Is aimed against the great mass of ths Industrious and In telllgent , nnd It Is really Intended to serve the Interests of the very rich nnd of great corporations. The bonded debt of the rail ways In the United State * Is about $6,000 , ' 000,000. If free coinage of silver were Intro duced It would enable the railways to pay off their debts with what is now equivalent to about $3,000,000,000. Theywould thus be relieved of the necessity of paying to small Investors who have taken their bonds one- half ot what these corporations now owe them. The Shjrman act of July 4 , 1890 , unless re pealed , would have brought us to the single standard. As It was , the mere suspicion of silver monometallism and the change of prices and of our standard of measure struck a blow at the solidity ot our Internationa" trade , brought on the panic , made prices un certain and caused doubt as to future plans In e\ery factory and chop In the land. Those who have silver mines and who can by their wealth control pol.llcal parlies and IcgUla tures , who make the yery seat ot our na1 tlonal government- their prided offices ami actually turn the national senate Into a bu reau for bulling the pr.'co of their product to those men we say baware. Those of us who belong to the rank o plain citizens , who are thinking only of the country as a whole , who believe In the hon esty , intelligence and Integrity of the Anier lean people , we hold that when a question of right or wrong Is presented In a campaign ot education tlie people will decide for th right. We cannot believe that n special In terest led by millionaires can go on unchecked chocked In their plan of sacrificing the tax payers In order to heap up riches , especially when this Is done on the most false o economical grounds , grounds which hav been proved wrong by the experience of ever ; country of modern times. Th ; proposal for free coinage was born I : the private offices of the silver kings , nurset at the hands of speculators , clothed In eco nomlc error , fed on boodle , and as sure at there Is honesty and truth In the American hiart It will dlo young and be burled In th SWNQ ignominious grave'wherein lies the now forgotten Infant once famous as the rag baby Contrary to expectation , the time after tb main address' was not occupied fully by Mi Harvey.

As a result , 11 finish wag largely taken up with good m tured chaffing of each other rather than so rlous arguments. FOKUGD A Ill.Mirr.VLI.lU UNION.

In a letter to the Alton Democrat , ex-Governor Boles of Iowa 'comes out for the free coinage of silver at n 16 to 1 , without waiting on any Interna tional action , Mr. Boles says : "It Is Idle to expect the masses ot the American people to wait for the co-operation of foreign na tions before they settle this question. They have no faith In such a remedy. They have taken the matter Into their own hands and they will settle It ono way or another , so far as this country Is concerned , In the next national election that Is held. It unre stricted coinage follows and the result Is all that gold tnonomctallUts predict , the consequences quences , It evil , should not be charged tu friends of free coinage of both motala. They did not seek the Issue ; all that they asked was honest bimetallism with reasonable safeguards for maintaining the parity of the two. This has been denied them upon false grounds , as I believe no possible legislation could effect that end. I frankly iidmlt that If the question is to bo narrowed to the single question of gold monometallism on ono side or unconditional free coinage of both metals at the old ratio on the other , I am In favor of free coinage , because I bcllevo It will at least be the beginning of a broad ened financial system that will. It necessary , be so perfected In the near future ns to give us nn absolutely safe and sound currency , the foundation of which will be legal at ast. and I believe practically the equal use t both gold and sliver as the money of re- emptlon.
