The union of the silver forces in Nebraska, democrats, republicans and populiste, is complete. This means, of course, that Nebraska will etay into the silver column. Champ Clark has been invited to speak at the big free silver camp meeting in Ohio. He will also go to Kentucky and assist in the campaign. There are few better stump speakers than Champ. The democrats, silver repnblicans and populists of Jasper county met and resclved to pull together in the next campaign. This means the straight republicans wil] not be in it down there. Nothing is said of the middle-of-the-roadere. With the terrible railroad wrecks at Emporia, Kan.; New Castle, Col ; Sallisaw, I. T., and the shooting down of unarmed miners in Penn- sylvania by deputy sheriff, the past week wili be noted in history for its terrible disasters and death rate. ‘The Jefferson City Tribune is of the opinion that it is impractical to work the convicts on the public highways. This may be true, but the suggestion that working the con- victa on the roads would bring them in competition with honest labor is mere bosh. —____.

Welling. ton today resigned the chairman ship of the republican state central committee, thus relinquishing the leadership of the party in this state which he has held for the past three years. This action ia the direct re- sult of the senator's defeat at the recent convention in Ocean City. In resigning Senator Wellington deliv- ered a very bitter speech, iu which he predicts defeat for the republican party in Maryland. If that wanton and brutal murder of those poor unarmed coal miners ‘in Pennsylvavia, had taken place in Turkey or Cuba, the hands of Amer- jeans would have gone up in holy horror, and the daily press would have pictured the scene in the most distressing and horrible manner. But in free America they call the shooting of these men the enforce- men of law. They were marching peaceably along the public highway, but the sheriff had court orders to disperse them and the mandate was obeyed with winchesters. Judge DeArmond informs us that he has accepted an _ invitation to take part in the Ohio cam- paige.

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 13 —The Re serve Commission Company, suc cessors to Viall & Co, ove of the largest bucket shops in the west, failed to-day. There are all corts of rumors a3 to the extent of the failure, but it will probably be at least $100,000, and some place it is high as $500,000. There is considerable mystery concerning the makeup of the firm Viall retired severa! months ago and Joseph Bellu became a member cf the firm. Webster Davis for President. Waehington, D C, Sept. 13.— Webster Davis of Missouri, assistant secretary of the Interior department is having a bocm for president in 1904 The republican papers of Penn- sylvania, eastern Ohio and western New York are putting him forward as an available candidate eight years hence.

In the middle of the train was acer Icaded with heavy machinery which proved a terrible factor in the catastrophe. The dead men were on their way to Fort Smith to find employment in the cotton fields, and all were steuling their way, though each had from $5 to $20 on his person. It will rot be known how many more are dead until the wreck is cleared away, though the injured men Claim three of their comrades are missing. As quickly as possible the crew and uninjured passengers set to work to rescue those who were caught in the wreck Three mea were taken out dead and twelve were extricated, seriously injured, of whom five ex pired within a few minutes.

New York World. “The Senate,” says Senator Hanna, “is a dignified body of dignified men. Jt is the greatest and best legislative body in the world. Wis- dom always prevails in it. As for those who say thatit is degener- ating, they are fools.” Well, let us see. Let us take Hanna's own state for example. Ohio began away back in 1802 by sending to the senate Thos. Worth ington, a man of high character and distinction in his day. Before he left came Benjamin Ruggles, “wheel horse of the senate.” Follow ing him, with terms overlapping each other, came William Henry Harriecn (afterwards President), Thomas Ewiog, Thomas Corwin, Salmon P Chase, Benjamin Wade, Allen G.

Havana, via Key West, Fla., Sept. 13.—The sensation caueed by the news of the capture of Victoria de Las Tunas was not over yet in Ha- vane when other reports came which made the loyal Spaniards in the capital shiver. The important town of Consola cion del Sur, in Pinar del Rio Prov ince, was attacked three days ago by the insurgents and the whole gar- rison, composed of 200 volunteers! from Havana, s'ain by the rev | olutionists.

The scene at Vian when the bodies of those who had resided there in life werg taken to that place, was so affecting as to bring tears to the eyes of ali the spectators The fathers, mothers and other kindred of the deceased were at the depot when the train came in with the remains of their loved ones.
