Whj He In Xot Willing? to Ran Elector on fnporratlc Tiekct. for The Valparaiso Vldette prints the letter written by Daniel F. Kelly, of Valparaiso, national elector on the Popocratlc State ticket from the Tenth congressional district, who refused to make the race. The letter, which is adressed to "Hon. Sterlins R. Holt, chairman of State Democratic committee, Indianapolis," follows: 1 nerewith tender my resignation as President elector for the Tenth congres sional district. My reason for taking this step is that my political views are not in accord with the principles enunciated in me piatrorm adopted at the Chicago con vention. "First I cannot indorse the Altgeldian attack on the Supreme Court of the United States by attempting to drag that judicial tribunal into the arena of politics. "Second I cannot indorse a party calling itseir JJemocratlc that tailed ana rerusea to Indorse the wise, honest and patriotic administration of Grover Cleveland. "Third I cannot with Justice to my own convictions and sense of right and honesty. Indorse the financial plank that declares for free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio or 16 to 1. "1 am sensible of the honor conferred up on me by the Democrats of the Tenth congressional district, and if I could convince myself that there was anything in the Chicago pltaform. except the tariif plank, that was Democratic, I would cheerfully sup port the ticket from the stump. This I cannot do with justice to my honest convic tions. Very truly yours. "DANIEL. E. KELLY. DESEHTED POPOCRACY. Prominent Democrat Ont for Palmer nnd Barkner. Bpecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Mr. Sewall,' the Democratic nominee for Vice President on the Popocratic ticket, expresses the opinion that the "result iii Vermont is not surprising nor sisrnifieant " but we doubt if Tom Watson, the Populist nominee for the same office on the same Ihwher the reS'" inMafnelf aE nounced, on Sept. 15, it will appear that the Vermont result was more significant for Mr. Sewall than ror any other om man ia the country, for it is likely to be seen then that the Democratic partv of the country is taking very little stock in Mr. nryan s canuuiacy. that he is simply a Populist nominee, and that he mieht am well make his ticket a Populist one at both ends. If he comes to this conclusion. Mr. sev.au win re dropped, and the ticket will become Bryan and Watson in all parts of the country, as It is now In many Pirts of It. Nothing has done more to weaken Bryan, always excepting his own speeches, than this absurd squabble between two nominees for the same office. Brvan ha been unequal to the task of saying which one he preferred for an associate, and the clamors of Watson to bring him to a decision have brought ridicule upon the whole ticket. Watson Is ready the more suitable man. He is perhaps as ignorant and unfH for high office as Bryan, and he is a good deal more sincere In his levotion to the platform upon which Mr. Bryan stands. Sewall was always a grotesquely .Incongruous candidate, put on In the hope of attracting Eastern Democratic support. If Maine, like Vermont, shows that he Is a failure in thi3 canacitv lh nrr.m'ii Ae.relon ia likely to be, "Off you go."

A hat an American Saw in MoscowProminence of Li IlniiK Chans. New York Tribune. A Tribune reporter yesterday met Creighton Webb, who has recently returned from Russia, where he assisted officially at the coronation ceremonies at Moscow. The reporter, taking up the topic of the hour asked Mr. Webb: "Did you see Li Hung Chang while you were in Moscow?" "Of course," was the answer. "Althouj the city was full of royal personages from all parts of Europe, heirs apparent and others whose names are known all over the civilized world as synonymous with rank, power or brains, there was no one there so conspicuous or who excited such universal interest as the 6reat Viceroy. The Marquis Yamagata, with his laurels fresh upon him, the reoganizer of an army, almost the re generator of a race, the successful hero who brought a winter campaign, an invasion by sea of an enemy's country, to a successful termination even he. in com parison with the splendid old statesman of the yellow jacket, was relegated to a sec ond place in the popular interest. "The Viceroy arrived from the frontier in the private car of the Empress of Rus sia, with all tho state, pomp and circum stance befitting his high rank and distinc tion. You have doubtless heard how the great Chinese tea merchant of Moscow al tered the entire facade of his houpe. chang ing it into a beautiful Chinese palace, cov ering the lintels and cornices with dragons. lions and all sorts of fantastic Chinese decorations. This he placed at the disposal of the Viceroy and his suite. There it was that he gave audience to all the Oriental magnates who had come to attend the coronation. It was not my gooel fortune to be present on this occasion, but it was described to me by ors-i who was there, a distinguished New York lawyer and exsoldier, who, by the simple courtesy and ease of his manners, and by the quiet dig nlty with which he bore his splendid pres ence, added greatly to the prestige of the American mission. The V iceroy. it seems, received regal honors from his guests, being seated on a throne at the end of the great room. Much as he means to us and to Europe, he meant infinitely more to the Orientals in Moscow as the representative of the mightiest nation in Asia. That same intense interest in all serious subjects of the day which the Viceroy is said to have shown in Germany. France and England, and which I hear he, has already shown in this country, he manifested in Moscow. He went io the great Russian exoosition at Nijnl Novgorod.! and there he is said to have proved himself a fitting rival of Dom Pedro of Brazil in the keen intelligence with which h2 propounded questions which went to the very root of every subject in which he became interested." "How did he rank with the other embas sadors?" was asked. "He ranked above them all. owing to his belna Viceregal. He was. of course, the recipient of many special marks of imperial favor. "What were the most notable features of the coronation ceremonies?", was inquired. "It was astonishing to observe the per fection of detail and the absolute precision with which the three weeks ceremonial passed off. The Russians took plenty of time for preparation, and when the mighty machine was set In motion it moved smoothly and without a hitch. The Russian railroads are very weak in the matter of rolline- stock. A special tram is not a mat ter of every-day occurrence with their officials. Yet every day for a whole week, from in the mormne to 9 in the evening, ten great special trains were sent out from St. Petersburg to Moscow, all of which started and arrived on their scheduled time. In Eng land or here this would not mean much, nor, for that matter, would it in Germany, but there are several other countries in Europe, which I need not name, in which it would be simply an impossibility. What were the most impressive scenes of the three weeks? First, of course, the coronation itself: then the illumination of the Kremlin. To attempt fittingly to describe this would be foolish. It was done on such a scale and with such wonderful taste that one left the scene feeling that hereafter there was nothing left to see in that line. It was fairyland ideally beauti ful. Then there was the great court ball at the Kremlin. Nowhere else in the world is there to-day such a magnificent spectacle as that of a court ball in Russia. It Is one of indescribable majesty. As a curious ex perience attendance at one such ball would amply repay a trip to the turtner end or Europe. "Our country was well represented at the court ball in the Kremlin. There were present Mrs. John A. Logan, with two or three lovely young girls in her train; W. E. D. Stokes and his wife, fresh from a series of visits among the imperial studs of Southern Russia: Mr. and Mrs. Potter Palmer, who had dropped in to see a few of the many friends they had made at the Chicago exhibition, and many others." When asked about the disaster at the Khodynsky Pole, Mr. Webb replied: "I don't like to think of it. It was shocking horrible. It left on all who saw anything of It an impression that will never be eradicated. Who was to blame? I don't know, and under the circumstances I don't care to indulge In any conjectures. It cast a gloom over the whole remaining period of the ceremonies. It came as a dreadful shock to the young Empress, who insisted on going from hospital to hospital to visit the wounded, and on the Emperor, who, like most constitutionally brave men, is as tender-hearted as a woman. The whole incident, and the fashion in which, after it had happened, it was treated, gives much food for thought. A vast throng swayed by one impulse, closes up, one person on another. A few moments ps, and it opens out again, and there lie dead 2.500 people. This is at 6 in the morning. The work of removing the bodies began at once, and simultaneously go on the final preparations for the great games at 1 o'clock. At 3 these are at an end. anr. the court, the Diplomatic Corps, the invited eruests are driven back to town, passing all the way in the dreary procession of corpses. The ball at the French embassy takes place that evening. It is a political function. It cannot be postponed, and the poor young Emperor and his wife, murmuring for their stricken subjects, have to ero to it 'with death in their hearts.' as the Emperor is reported to have said. In thirty-six hours every trace of the disaster is wiped out. The dead are buried. The field resumes Its accustomed appearance, and the great reaction of the coronation moves on as steadily as ever. "This is not heartlessneps. It is the Russian .haracter. The Russian is a good fellow, and is very kind and gentle, but he is a fatalist by instinct. The thing has happened. It can't he helped. Everything in the world is done for the families who have been bereft of their bread-winners, and that ends it. The Russian is indifferent to the sufferings of others, but so he is to his own. That same quiet carelessness as to what fate may have in store for him which finds expression in such magniritent displays of courage in the hunting field. In such profound contempt for death on the field of battle, the Russian takes with him into everyday life. He is a very quiet person, especially when in a crowd, but, as we say, he gets there. "Russia has been compared by a great writer to a bear v.hose vast bulk lies stretched across all northern Europe and Asia. 1 should compare her rather to a mighty glacier, which is slipping, creeping, ever quietly onward. If It meets an oostacle it either grinds it to powder or picks it up and carries it with it. The glacier does not recede It travels all the time, very slowly, but very surely. I must catch a train good-bye."

HOOSIERS WHITEWASHED. Got but Five Hits Yesterdav. and Piled Up Seven Errors. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 6. The last game of the Minneapolis-Indianapolis series was the easiest of them all for the victorious Millers. They could never ask for anything easier in the line of a pitcher than Chauncey Fisher proved to-day. His advent was awaited by the players and the fans with fear and trembling, but at the very first chance the Millers had at the mighty twirler they took the starch right out of him, and when the Hoosiers ?aw how he fared they lost all nerve and piled errors on errors. Shiebeck started the error getting, and Motz, Shannon, Stewart, Wood and Hogan assisted later. Three errors, led by a base l"" i'iuu, uipies Dy any and PKuehne and slnerles bv Pirkett T?nii t,a Preston scored six men and the game v as over to all Intents and purposes. The champions had an attack of heart failure in the eighth, when Preston, after making a hit, circled the bases, for a score through the kindness of Wood and Hogan. In the five Innings that Fisher waa in the'game eleven hits were made off his delivery, but he was doing good work when he was replaced by Kellam. But five singles were made off the new lad. The Hoosiers could not find Virgemeier at all. Motz played desperately and sul " "us. unce ne managed to get as far as third base, and another time he stole to second, but was unable to touch the plate. Wood was the onlv other man to get to third, and this he accomplished In me sevenui vy a uarmg steal. Hogan captured some very dangerous flies, as did Williams and Hogriever. Score: Minneapolis.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Hon. Robert Miers, the Popocrat nominee for Congress In the Second congressional district, made a political speech here a few days ago to a crowd of some eighty or ninety, men, women and children, about equally divided. He was given very close attention. Your correspondent attended, knowing that Mr. Miers is one of the ablest Democrats in Indiana, and I had confidence in the man to believe. he would discuss the issues of the campaign in an able, lawyer-like way, but I am sorry to report I was not only disappointed, but disgusted at the course he pursued. He gave the Union soldiers a very warm eulogy, and it seemed to come from the heart, but I believe, also, that the doctrine he preached of free and unlimited coinage of silver, would be one of the hardest blows that could be given the pensioner. It js the history of every nation of the world that has tried unlimited coinage of silver that It depreciates the value of the dollar to the bullion value of the silver. Mr. Miers was very unfair in his argument and evidently aims to play' on the emotions of the poor and unsophisticated. He said: "When the government puts its stamp on silver and calls it a dollar it is and would be worth 100 cents, especially if it is made a full tender for all debts." He told us we "owed England in round numbers four billions of dollars." All Europe recognizes a silver dollar, if not backed by gold, only at the value of the bullion price of silver in it. Now, the query is, if we try to pay this vast amount of borrowed money with money only worth 53 cents to the dollar, 1 how long can we get to keep that money,

and what will be the condition of our credit;' Would there not only be a rush by England to collect all we owe them, but would not others do the same? Would not this grand rush ruin the American people and close the remaining open furnaces and factories In America? They all 1 in on borrowed capital and cannot run. without it. Mr. Miers admitted that if we put the silver dollar back into bullion that it would only be worth 53 cents. Some of our Republican friends asked him to explain why It was that the silver dollar, when melted, was worth only 53 cents, and the gold dollar, when melted, was worth 1U0 cents. He failed to answer. Then they asked him if he thought we would be any belter off to change our monetary system by the government stopping to buy silver bullion at 53 cents to the dollar and keeping the 47 cents so as to enable the government to make the silver dollars worth 100 cents in any nation in the world, or as good as gold? They asked him. also, if we coined silver free for Tom. Dick and Harry, if he thought they would keep our money on a parity? One dollar as good as another? Thetruth Is that It has not been the history of silver, when given unlimited coinage, that the bullion price of silver in the nations trying it has advanced In value, but the reverse is the rule. The question that seems to bother the Popocrats is this. If it does not raise the bullion price, why la it that the great millionaires that are at the head of their party are working for the free coinage of silver? The answer is plain. Silver is nature's free offering, and all It costs the discoverer of It is the labor to eet It to the mint. It is all labor and this is the slowest thing to advance In price. This the mine owners well know, and they are shrewd enough to know that if the government will coin all their silver bullion free of cost and make it full payment for all debts, that this will lay down the bars to a larger field for their product and enable them to pay for their labor at 53 cents to the dollar. If th'-re Is no advance on the bullion price of sliver, which is not likely, they would gain 47 cents of the miner's money on every dollar tntl. labor comes to. Four years ago the poor people belonging to the Democratic party were told that if they would only vote for good old Grover and give them full power In Congress they would so legislate that "all their troubles would be over." This was "before taking." See the spectacle since. If Mr. Miers did not want to befog his hearers he would have told them that the Democratic party was a failure; that it could not, would not, and never intended to do what they had promised the people, except to put wool and oilier farm produce on tho free list, and the result was the fires went out of our furnaces and thousands of our mechanics were thrown out of their jobs and were compelled to fro to farming and become producers instead of consumers. He would have told them that our money system was the very best, that there was no need to try to disturb the business of the country by such a change: he would have told them that the people had weighed the Democratic party and found It too short t rule such a country as ours; that the Republican party had run this country successfully for a third of a century and gone though one of the greatest wars of modern times: hi. a paid all Its obligations with dollars worth PH) cents to the dollar; had turned over to them a surplus In the treasury and paid a large per cent, of the debt created by the war, and with the best credit of any nation on the earth. They were able to do this by a wise and judicious protective tarltT. and all this the Democratic party destroyed in one short term of office, leaving hundreds of millions of dollars entailed on the American people by their stupidity anil general cussedness. liad Robert Miers told his audience this, he would have told them the truth. He could have said, also, that there was nothing now the matter with us as a nation excent we have had entirely too much of the Democratic party, and all we need is a return of the G. O. P. Qulney.

LI AND A GIRL REPORTER

INSTEAD OF BEING INTERVIEWED HE Tl'RNS INTERVIEWER. The Earl Declares Bicycles Immodest for Women nnd Disapproves of the Men Ridin. Iva Rofis. !n New York Journal. LI Hung Chang looked at me over hfs gold-rimmed spectacles and said. "Hull"' I found out later this meant that I met his approval. He gave me his hand and held mine for a few minutes, and well. I am frank to confess that all the beautiful questions I hud been framing in my mind ever hince ho stepped off the St. Louis, suddenly vanished into air. and when dead little Dr. Mark (I call him dear, because It was he who presented me to the Viceroy) Inquired what I wanted to ask the Earl, not one of thcrn would come to my assistance. 'Oh. anything," I stammered, lecting my wits, said: then, col"I should like to know what his Excellency thinks of America, of Amerlean newspapers and American women?" Dr. Mark chattered and LI chattered back. Then the physician made the answer: "He thinks America a great country and its people noble, generous and hospit.ible He likes its newspaprs-lf they are all as bright as the Journal." "And Its women?" I suggested "Ah. he is afraid you will make fun of nlm', Iso? ou Wll write just what ho says? I promised fathfully I would quote him word for word. . "Well, he thinks they are verv lovely" hen Dr. Mark consented to allow me to see the great man 1 gave him mv word I would remain only two minutes In the august presence. My two minutes had gone I was trembling in my shoes, for f .-x-pected every moment the Doctor would remind me that my time was up. LI, however, had evidently taken a fancy to me. He motioned for me to be seated in a little chair opposite him. He looked at me from head to foot over his glasses and said something to Dr. Mark, who was good enough to act as interpreter. : - Dr. Mark blushed and stammered. He had heard how strange Li's very personal questions strike the people of this country, and he didn't quite know how to frame tha one the Earl had just asked. Fumbling my card, he said, questionably: "I haven't told him whether you are Miss or Mrs." "Assure his Excellency that I shall be delighted to answer any question he mav honor me by naming." I replied, at tho same time settling myself comfortably in the chair, ready to be catechised. LI BEGINS QUESTIONS. "He wants to know whether you are married." "No." "He asks. 'Why not?'"' ; "Because no man wants to marry me." The Earl laughed incredulously, shook his head and chattered to Dr. Mark. "That cannot be so. He says there are surely not so many pretty women in this city that you can't find a husband." "But It's true. Ask him to send me one from China." . "He says he would If it were necessary, but he doesn't believe it is. He thinks perhaps you are hard to please." LI talked and Dr. Mark translated. "He wishes me to say that people here think he asks questions simply because of curiosity. That is net so. In our country in China" his countenance took on a sort of glorified expression when he mentioned, the Flowery Kingdom "questions like he' asks are considered polite and show a kindly interest." 1 begfred Dr. Mark to believe T en loved the questions and hoped his Excellency would continue his cross-examination. "How old are you?" Did I hear aright? Confess the one thing incompatible with a woman's vanity? The thought was positively distracting, and for a second I felt as though I were going to faint. Then my wits came back. "We have a saying in this part of tho world that a woman is as old as sne looks a. man as old as he feels. How old does your Excellency think I am?" Li leaned back In his chulr and laughed a deep huh, huh, huh, showing his long, yellow, far-apart teeth. His servants trembled because of this exertion. One man lighted a long, bamboo pipe, with gold mouthpiece, and poked it between Li's lips, withdrawing it and refilling it after one puff. But that puff brought renewed strength, and .the statesman looked at me rogucishly. "He says you look about twenty years old," Dr. Mark remarked. "His Excellency is a. good guesser," I replied. "He bids me tell you," coivtlnucd Dr. Mark, "that he met tw ladies who write for the newspapers wh"e he was in England, but he never met one so young as you. He want3 to know how much money you make." I told him. "You must be very Intelligent. American Women are especially brigjit. are they not ? Is it really so that they can write as well as men? It S2ems Impossible to bellev they can, for they surely do not travel much." EARL LI DISAPPROVES. LI was astonished to hear that women In this country may go anywhere alone even going round the world without an escort. "But this Is not right," the Viceroy said. "Women should have the protection of their husband's." The attendant placed the statesman's pipe between the official's Hps again, and LI puffed. "A woman can afford to be capricious as long as she Is young: but even American women, beautiful as they are, must eventually grow old. Time creeps on, even in the cases of the fairest, and when a woman reaches forty years she will find she cannot make the conquests sha did at thirty. Every woman should get married. Marriage Is her mission, and she will be happier with a good husband than alone, viandi'ring about the world." Having delivered himself of this llttlo sermon. Li continued: "I hope you will soon be married and get a gooi, brave, handsome husband." Then he asked the following questions: "Are you parents alive?" "Do you board or live with your friends?" "Have you brothers or sisters?" "Have you cousins?" "Do you have to work hard?" "How many years have you been working for the newspapers?" In a brief interval, while LI was trying to think of some other questions, I asked him whether he had seen any bicycles. "Yes," he snapped out, with laconic disapproval. "What do you think bout women riding them?" I asked. "They should not ride them. Bicycles are not meant for women; they are immodest." "Do men ride bicycles In China?" "No," he almost thundered. Bicycles, for men or women, evidently have not the stamp of LI Hung Chang's approval. His butler at this moment piacea a tray on a table near by, and Dr. Mark said, by way of dismissal: "My Lord will now take his milk." The great Chinaman then arose, gave me his hand and said in excellent Chinese: "Good night, my little lady." NATIONAL Tube Works Wrought-lron Pipe fo; Gas, Steam and Water. poller Tub.
