Annual Address to the W.GT. 0. THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION OPENED Union With the Labor Movement Favored. A POLITICAL PLATFORM BALTIMORE, October 17.—Miss Frances E. Willard, president of the World's and National W. C. T. U., gave her sixteenth annual address before the latter here to- day. She spoke encouragingly of the progress of reform. She said: “In the widening field of athletics all stimulation is discounted. The bicycle is the most influential temperance reformer of the time, and milk is the favorite bev- erage of those who ride to win. Men who drink take less, and more men do not drink at all than in any previous year. This is the testimony of railway managers, life insurance agents, police captains and the general public. Steam and electricity have put level heads at a premium, and the trend of invention lies parallel with the white path of personal purity in all the habits of life. Legislation follows on after individual progress. The Canadian parlia- ment this year declared by an overwhelm- ing majority in favor of prohibition; in South Australia and Utah women have been admitted to the full rights of citizens. Five legislatures last winter voted to sub- mit this question to the people. In New York city reform has forsaken the line of least and sought that of greatest resist- ance. Municipal politics in that metropolis and many others turn on the temperance question. The enforcement of law by Commissioner Roosevelt and the renewed war upon Tammany, led by the redoubta- ble Dr. Parkhurst, are the salient features of the time. “The polyglot petition, with its 7,500,000 has this year names and indorsements, been presented in America and England. Its journey will continue until it has borne the plea of the home to every government. A Political Platform. “A union of reform forces is contemplat- ed, and the leaders have agreed to the fol- lowing basis, which ‘s commended to the good will of all white ribbon women: “1. Direct legislation; the initiative and the referendum in national, state and local matters; the imperative mandate and pro- portional representation. “2. When any branch ef legitimate busi- ness becomes a monopoly in the hands of a few against the interests of the many, that industry should be taken possession of, on just terms, by the municipality, the state or the aation, and administered by the peo- ple. ‘3. The eleztion of President and Vice President and of United States Senators by direct vote of the people, and also of all civil officers, so far as practicable. . Equal suffrage without distinction of sex. “5. As the land 1s the rightful heritage of the reople, no tenure should hold with- out use ard occupancy. “6. Prohibition of the Mquor traffle for beverage purposes, ahd governmental con- trol of the sale for medicinal, scientific and mechanical uses. “7, All money—paper, gold and silver— should be issued by the national govern- ment only, and made legal iender for ail payments, public or private, on future con- tracts, and In amount adequate to the de- mands of business. “8. The free and, unlimited coinage of silyer and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. “The iabor movement is the natural ally of the White Ribboners. The ‘working class’ are the only true aristocrats. The time is not distant when those who do not werk will be drummed out of the camp and stung cut of the hive, and will learn by what they suffer that it is a law of God written in our members that ‘He who will not work, neither shall he eat.’ We are confronted by a vegetating aristocracy on one hend and an agitating democracy on the other, and if the Federation of Labor and the trades unions will, throughout their ertire membership, decree that strong drink shall be left teetotally alone, it will within ten years become the arbiter of destiny. . Against Low Amusements. “The agitation against low theaters and impure ‘living pictures,’ which began in London last autumn, has spread the world around. Mrs. Laura Ormiston Chant, who conducted the case on behalf of the White Ribbon women, has endeared herself to all gcod people. Every non-conformist pulpit in England is open to her, and her pure but liberal views on the amusement question are doing much to broaden the outlook of the home folk. “The W. C. T. U. of New York deserves great credit for the brave stand it has taken in preparing a bill, presented by Sen- ator Mullin, which provides that any woman who makes a public exhibition of berself the tendency of which is to arouse impure thought, and any person who em- ploys her to do this, and who, by bills, pesters and literature, corrupts the morals of the people, shall be heavily fined and im- prisoned. Miss Willard closed her review of the woman question with these words: “In primitive days we had the matriar- chate, which means the rule of the mothers, and now tor a painfully lengthened period we have had the patriarchate, or the rule of the fathers; but we begin to see the dawn of the amphiarchate, or the joint rule of a joint world by the joint forces of its mothers and its fathers. Happy are they who put their sturdy shoulders to the wheels of this white chariot of the sun.” DENVER’S CELEBRATION, First Festival of the Mountain and Plain, Never has such a crowd been seen in Denver as that now In attendance*at the first annual festival of Mountain and Plain. The railroads estimate that they haye brought 45,000 passengers to the city the past two days. A grand military parade was given yes- terday forenoon, in whick the federal troops from Fort Logan, the entire na- ticnal guards of the state of Colorado and Grand Army posts and Sons of Veterans participated. The parade was followed by driils by both federal and state troops. aes reas From Two Humorists. In Saturday's Star will oppear another letter from the humorist.

SSS EEO PROGRAM OF SILVER MEN Senator Stewart Still Talks of Winning the Election, He Declares There is Little Prospect of Currency Legisintion Unless Sil- ~ ver Men Are Given Consideration. Senatcr Stewart of Nevada says that he does not care to have Senator Chandler of New Hampshire announce how he will vote upon any subject, and he distinctly declines himself to state how he shall vote. He is, however, joined to his idol— free silver. Looking into the future, he says that there is little prospect of cur- rency legislation by the coming Congress. “There most assuredly will not be,” he says, “unless due consideration shall be given to the silver men. The silver men in the Congress will have a very definite program. I think that they will form a national party, and nominate the Pres!- dent. I think that that platform might be summarized in these points: “First, the free and unlimited coinage of silver. “Second, no further issue of interest- bearing bonds. “Third, that the national government shall issue all of the paper currency that 1s to be Issued. That is a very sim- ple and direct platform,” said Sena- tor Stewart, “and It is one upon which the people of the country can readily stand. The friends of silver have become satisfied that the na- tional banks can control the appointments of delegates to the national conventions of the republican and democratic parties. That was shown at both national conven- tions. I suppose that seven banks any- where could combine and secure a dele- gate. The silver men will work outside of both of the old parties. They will select a candidate for President from an agri- cultural state.” When asked what the country would do for revenue upou such a platform, Sena- tor Stewart said: “Under existing financial and tariff laws with such a policy a tremendous impetus would be given to every business interest in the country, and the treasury would not be in need of money. There certainly will be no financial legislation unless due consideration shall be given to silver.” . Senator Stewart Is not prepared to ad- mit that the attempt which the free silver men have been making during the recess of Congress to organize a national party, and to prepare to launch a presidential ticket, has been unsuccessful. He insists still that the silver men who have been engaged in the recent move- ment really expect that the silver party, which has attempted a new departure,will be successful at the election, and that they will have so much influence in the country that they will force one party or the other to substantially adopt their plat- form. But it is ascertained that many of the silver men are disturbed at the blunder which they have made in attempting to forestall the action of the people, and of their own followers, by a pretended nomi- nation for President. It has excited com- ment that a party which pretends to rep- resent all the people should fear to sub- mit its cause to the approval of the peo- ple. Yet it is a fact that the silver men have distinctly stated in private that they wish to avoid a national convention. ‘The little party of silver men here is divided into factions. Mr. Sibley, the candidate of the silver party for President, was nom- inated for this office by Senator Stewart of Nevada, the leader of one faction. Some of the conservative silver men feel that they made a false start. It is said there is so much opposition to the choice of Sibley, and so much apprehension that his selection may handicap the silver cause, that the silver men are seriously considering the expediency of reopening this subject of the presidential nomina- tion and committing it to a sort of refer- endum, SSS ee RETURN OF THE PATTERSON. American Surveyors Obiain Much Val- unble Data. survey steamer Patterson has returned -to Seattle, Wash. from Alaska with the party taken out in Jure to make a detailed survey of the southern line of the interna- tional boundary from Prince of Wales Island to the turning point of the 56th parallel. None of the many Cana- ian surveying parties were met with. One party stopped at Fort Simpson for a few days only, and then joined the others north of Chilkat. This would seem to indicate that the British are relying upon their contention that the line leaves Prince of Wales Island by Lehm channel, instead of proceeding east from there to Portland channel, as is claimed by our government. The American surveyors say they have secured much valuable and thoroughly re- Mable data for the use of the American boundary commissioners. a A Talk With Dr. Talmage.

HILL’S ATTITUDE His Change of Policy From That Pursued Last Year. WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ALLEGE They Believe He Sees Defeat Ahead in New York. WHAT HIS ENEMIES SAY A feature of the New York situation highly encouraging to the republicans is the attitude of Senator Hill toward the campaign. Dces the Senator sniff defeat from afar? If not, what is the explanation of the @ifference between his bearing this year and last? Though not a candidate this year, he is still the leader of his party at home, and still expected to direct its more important movements. Hill's Change of Pla It is noted that during the campaign of last year Mr. Hill was the most active of men He was in evidence every day. Nota blade of grass was permitted to grow under his feet. From the hour of his acceptance of the nomination for governor until the polls closed in November he was on the stump rallying bis friends. He appeared in every part of the state, and gave himself no rest whatever. But it is very different this year. Whole weeks have gone by since the fiasco at Syracuse without even the mention of bis r.ame. His movements are not chronicled, if he is moving about. He has spent a good deal of time at his home near Albany, and a late report has it that he is preparing to go to Ohio to help Camp- bell. - Are his party’s affairs at home in so prosperous and assuring a condition that he can afford to leave the state and go to the succor of the buckeyes? Or is it that he realizes that the jig is up with him at home, and that his hest card is to throw himself into the breach elsewhere? , What the Republicans Think. The republicans hold to the opinion that Mr. Hill sees defeat ahead in New York, and goes to Ohio to forward the effort to finish McKinley. Ohio is the vulnerable point in the republican line. There is no election either in Mr. Reed’s state or in Ger. Harrison’s state. McKinley is the man exposed, and it is good generalship to strike him. And it woull be a great win- ning, too, to finish him, or even to cripple him. The effect would be to deprive his party of the use next year of much of his prestige. In Case of Campbell's Success. To the suggestion that Campbell's suc- cess this year would make him a formidable presidential candidate, and that Mr. Hill, by going to his assistance, may be blocking his owh presidential gam, the reply made is that the New York Senator has reached that stage of his career when he must take chances. If democratic success in Ohio this fall means Campbell for President next year, so be it. One man cannot play against fate. Mr. Hill in such circumstances could at least hope to stand well with the new leadership. He would have helped to és- tablish it. On the other hand, if Campbell, even with the prestige of a victory obtained this year, should fail in national calcula- tions next year, the memory of Mr. Hill's services will still be fresh and may affect the situation in Mr. Hill’s behalf. It is to the good for a candidate when his friends are able to point to the fact that their fa- vorite in an engagement always moves to the sound of the heavy artillery A Risk in This Policy. It is conceded, however, that there is a risk in this policy. It so happens, too, that Mr, Hill himself has established the fact. In the national campaign of 1888 he left his state and made speeches in Ohio, New Jersey, West Virginia and Indiana. The act had every appearance of generosity. He was a candidate for governor, and he left his personal interests exposed to speak for his party in states where the issue seemed to be in doubt and where his influ- ence was represented as of value. But the result was attended with embarrassments so serious he has never since entirely re- covered from them. The state ticket which he headed that year was successful, but the national ticket failed, and he and his friends were charged with the failure. They were accused of having made the one safe at the expense of the other. No won- der, the anti-Hill demccrats said, a stump- Ing tour could be made to. other states when affairs had been so arranged at home that Mr. Hill himself could not lose. As indignant as the denials were and still are of Mr. Hill’s friends, this charge is now and then still heard, and there are ad- mirers of his who believe that, it cut an influential figure in his defeat at Chicago in 1892. What Hill's Enemies May Say. It may be, too, that these same men will attack Mr. Hill on his new move. They may insist that, black as the sky is in New York, he yet should remain there; that the campaign of this year should equal in the earnestness and activity displayed the cam- paign of last year; that half-heartedness in leaders this year must produce half-hearted- ness in the ranks, and that politics, like charity, has always its first and most im- pressive application at home. Let Mr. Camp- bell take care of himself. The redemption of New York from republican rule is of far "more consequence, it is held, than whittling down a republican majority in a republican state like Ohio, and nothing should be done to encourage even the assumption that New York this year cannot be redeemed. $$ AN INQUEST TODAY, Judicial Inquiry Over Little Clara Koehler. Clara Koetler, the little child who was run over by an electric car at the corner of 9ta street and Florida avenue Wednes- day afternoon, succumbed to her injuries yesterday at 4 p.m. The child’s mother remained at the bedside at Garfield Hospi- tal until death ended the little one’s suf- terings. One leg was cut off and the other one badly crushed by the accident, and in addition she suffered internal injuries,which the physicians say were of themselves sufli- cient to cause death. An autopsy was held on the body this morning, and Coroner Hammett decided to hold an inquest at the hospital at 3 o'clock thi: afternoon. The conductor and motor- man of the train that struck the child were detained at the Sth precinct station to await the result of the inquest. The statement made yesterday that the little Koehler girl lived with her stepfather was an error, as she made her home at her grandfather’s house. —=— PADGETT DECLARES HE IS HONEST. The Committee of Investigation Ap- pointed and Gets to Work. President Tracy had a long interview with Frark Padgett yesterday afternoon in regard to Columbia Typographical Union finances. Mr. Padgett assured Mr. Tracy that not a cent of union funds has been taken by him. As soon as he is phy- sically alle he will show, he says, that ev- ery dollar intrusted to him can be account- ed for. There is now little prospect that Mr. Padgett can appear before the union Sunday. He 1s still weak and unstrung. He sleeps a great deal and is getting the better for it. He could not, the officers of the union say, make any kind of a statement by Sunday afternoon that would help his case. President Tracy last night completed the committee authorized by the meeting of the union last Sunday. It consists of W. N. Brockwell, H. A. Graham and William MeCabe They are ail employes of the government printing office and capable, trustworthy members of the craft. The committee met with President Tracy last night and discussed the proposition to em- ploy an expert to go over the books and report. A number of names were consid- ered. Yesterday Secretary Toner found a blank ledger, purchased by Mr. Padgett, to use for the current year’s bookkeeping. Not a@ penstroke had been made in It. The ledger account appears all in good order down to December 1, 1894. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS .. ATTORNEYS ... AUCTION SALES.

He is a tall, straight colored man, and his face always wears a cheerful look, notwithstanding the fact that he cannot see. He has stood for more than twenty years at the corner of 7th and G streets, and by the sales of shoe strings and matches endeavors to earn a living for him- self and family. Winter winds have blown around him and the fierce heat of summer has beat upon him, yet for more than two decades he has been at his post at the cor- ner of the patent office railing and has seemed to be as much a part of the land- scape as the huge building itself. A blind man’s existence is not the hap- piest in the world. but Hawkins has becn uniformly cheerful, and his radiant face and contented manner have preached ser- mon after sermon to the throngs that ¢rowd past him on the business thorough- fare. Very often the joy in his heart finds expression in song from his lips. His hon- esty is unquestioned. Altogether he is an unique and interesting figure. It has been 1 matter of comment lately that Hawkins was found near the corner of F street instead of at his old stand, fur- ther rorth on the same square. He was forced to mcve, it was stated, because a complaint from across the way that his singing was annoying. Today in Judge Kimball's court Hawkins was given a hearing on a charge of ob- + structing the sidewall. It appeared th Mr: t his singing had annoyed 0 lives on 7th street, and is sick. Although requested to refrain from singing, it is asserted he declined to 0. 50. In his own behalf Hawkins said he had been singing at that corner for more than twenty years, and that in 18S he was given permission’ to stand there. He promised not to repeat the offense, and will hereafter stand at the corner of F street. The charge against him’ was dismissed. . ——— GUILD OF ST. BARNABAS. Rev. Dr. Mackay Smith Comniends the Organization in un Address. Today being St. Luke's day, Rev. Dr. Mac- kay Smith delivered an address at the mid- day service at St. John’s Church that was particularly appropriage to the occasion. A portion of his talk was devoted to a com- mendatory reference to the Guild of St. Barnabas, an organization for Christian nurses, The guild 1s intended “to help the nurses to realize the greatness of their calling, to maintain a high standard in lt, and also to enable them more surely to overcome the temptations incident to their position. The guild, by associating nurses together, and with them other women as friends, and also by engaging the personal interest of phy- sicians and clergymen in their behalf, aims to supply some of the comfort and power obtained by association and thus to be help- ful to the nurse, whether on duty or not.” The Guild of St. Barnabas was founded about nine years ago by a clergyman of Boston, but it has grown steadily, and much more rapidly than its friends at the outset had any cause to expect. Now there are fourteen branches in the following places: Boston, Brookiyn, New York, Philadelphia. Pitsburg, St. Louis, Utica, Hartford, Or- ange, Sen Francisco, Washington, New Haven, Chicago and Cincinnati, with an ig- gregate membership of about 1,100, while every month brings additions to the mem- bers, so that the nurse who wears the badze of the Guild of St. Barnabas finds friends in many places even on the Pacific coast. The badge, or medal, worn by each mem- ber of the organization is patterned after the Nightingale jewel, which was presented to Florence Nightingale by Queen Victoria in recognition of her services in the Crim- ean war. ee CYCLIST LENZ’S MURDERERS. Perscyering Attempts to Bring Them to Justice. William A. Sach, the St. Louis wheel- man, under date of September 21, wrote his sister at Alton, Ill, giving her an, account of the latest developments in his endeavors to bring to justice the murderers of Lenz, the cyclist, who was killed In Turkey. He said, in part: “After countless delays that are sufficient to drive an American, accustomed to pushing an affair, once begun, to an immediate conclusion, my hopes for winding vp my affairs here are in a fair way of being realized. “Yesterday I received the cheering intel- ligence that the committee on investigation is about ready to begin operations, and will be headed by Shaik Pasha, an official of the sultan’s court and a favorite with the sultan. “Today I received a call from the pasha, accompanied by the interpreter of the Eng- Jish consul, and a retinue of army officers Myself and my native in- terpreter, and a friend whom I can safely trust, composed our side of a private con- ference which was then held. “{ laid before Shaik the names of the men I had every reason to believe were guilty of murdering Lenz.

The 1893 registration was the smallest in many years. The feature of the two days’ totals this year is the fact that the losses are in the Tammany districts, five-sixths of the total loss from last year’s registration being shown in the returns from below 14th street. This territory is Tammany’s boast- ed Gibraltar. With a new police board, new criminal ccurt judges, the old Tammany registra- tion figures are no longer found in the re turns. The lodging house “floater” has dis~ appeared. Nor are the courts crowded with Tammany “leaders” foliowed by long listg of foreigners for false naturalization, to b@ colonized below 14th street. This evil, t has been done away with, and now that if has gone the Tammany padded registration returns have gone, too. SSS A Pennsylvanian’s Suicide.
