CANDLER TALKS AT ATKINSON He Says That the Railroad Commission is Wasting Time and Money.

Atkinr.un on the slump. Among; other things In; .-.aid that his lit ter of ai.nutineemi nt had said some things tli.it had mortally oil. tided the little poli tical ting that thought it could cleet gov ernors and state house oilicialn without consulting the people, and immediately following the . return of Governor W. Y. Atkinson amt his paity from Mexico there had been coni, renci s in the Kimball house anil elsewhere, which finally led to a die laration that Candler must lie beaten at all hazards. Then Judge Spencer It. At kinson was brought out, followed by Sen ator Berner's abrupt plunge, ami 'the colonel ironically observed that they were both doing tin* work required of tin m with uh industry which showed whether or not the politicians who had pul them in tin race were lacking in judgment. "The ring is agains-t me," he said, “but, thank God, the people arc against the ring." He spoke of the several planks in his platform, and discussed the state tax rate at sum- length. He said 'that his original suggestion that tile present late Was too high had been received witii too much ap plause by the people that Messrs. Berner and Atkinson had not only attempted to appropriate it to themselves, but bad ac tually begun to charge that he did not know what lie was doing win n he ad vanced the idea. He said lie iiad never proposed any special plans to reduce the tax rule, but lead declared that it should go no highet that it was time to put on lie brakes. He thought Lite bi.it way to do this was to stop the links which exist al ready, and io exercise such wise economy in future as to keep the, rale within tile reasonable ability of tire people to pay. "But Spencer Atkinson ways there are no leaks," tin- colonel continued, "and he has delied me in several of the speeches made by him before my ollieial duties permitted me to take *lhc stump to name any. W ell, judge, I'll name one. If your constant campaigning and speech-making during the past two mon tils lias not been done at tlie expense of tin- duty you owe the state as railroad commissioner, then there's a very considerable leak In the $2,500 a year you are receiving In salary. And, If you ate neglecting your duty—holding on to one office while running for another—you are not a lit nn.n to lie governor. Take your choice. But whither you are neg lecting your duty or not, you know and I know and the people know that you are using that |2,500 which the state pays you for the purpose of furthering your per sonal political interests, and <>f defeating me lor governor. 1 think you will not dis pute witii me that tills constitutes a leak, and that the taxpayers are entitled to a little butter return for their money.'-’ Tile colonel said lie had I lie highest per sonal regard for some of the men who had been appointed to the railroad commission, and lie said, also, that during the first lew* years of 'Hie exlstt nee of that body the m<mln rs unqtti stionably earned and de served all tin salary they got. but that since tlie work of the department had been systematized, the original conditions had changed. Last year. lie said the commis sion had met on only twenty-eight out of the 365 days, and the ihr.e members had each received nearly SIOO a day. While a member of the state senate ten years ago he had worked and voted in favor of a bill which proposed to take the power of appointment away from tlie governor and ■to elect the railroad commissioners direct ly* by tlie people. He favored such a meas ure then, and he favored it now. The au dience loudly applauded the and laughter mingled with 'their cheers. BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR CA- TARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY.

Washington, April 5. —The navy is open ly critical today of tihe inaction which has resulted in a practical overthrow of its carefully prepared war plans. Last Tuesday the 'Nav.il Strategy Board sent by Secretary Long to tlie cabinet meeting a comprehensive memorandum mored cruisers readily bottled up in ,Ha niored cruisers readily botled up in Ha vana ami with time yet remaining for Ad miral Schley to capture *the flotilla at it approached Puerto Rico, Spain would be powerless to inflict any serious injury on tue United States, and peace terms could be readily dictated. Tlie memorandum set forth that these conditions would be reversed if Spain could join her distributed forces at Puerto Rico, ready to sweep down without warning upon an American port the moment war might bo declared. It was pointed that such Spanish fleet would be able by me n.ieing the North Atlantic and its coast wise commerce, result in calling many of our vessels from the Key West base, and so change all conditions tiiat an assault on Havana would be made a most tedious affair. It was also shown that with the depart ure of the two cruisers from Havana the entrance of that harbor could be quickly tilled with mines, imprisoning every Amer ican now there, and nullifying our efforts to rescue them before their massacre oc curred. What was feared has occurred, and the entire plan of naval campaign is in course of rearrangement. There is an ugly feel ing throughout the naval service over the delay that has put them at a disadvantage. They fear another day’s waiting, which they believe will further aid Spain to ma neuver for advantage. They do not expect the Spaiards to go to Havana again to run the chance of block ade, but tiny have warned Secretary Long that when the Spaniards again sail from Puerto'Rico it will be necessary for every American port to be made ready for a raid. Boston, New York and Charleston have the most to fear, and they must rely chief ly on their own resources, fv the strategy board declares that it would be criminal to weaken the fleet at Key West, or to leave Hampton Roads un-guarded.

BONNER WON By Big Majority in Jones County Election Yesterday. Yesterday the 'friends of Mr. Henry Bon ner, of Jones county, expressed at the polls their dislike at the way the election for the ordinary to suceed Hon.

Yesterday was the election day ordered by ithe governor for the settlement of the race, and when -the polls opened Mr. Bon ner s friends rallied around him, and when the polls were closed it'was found that he was elected by a majority that was several times greater than the one the received last week. At the request of Mr. Dumas the election was contested, anil as the executive com mittee did on have time to investigate be fore the regular election day, they decided the election void and held it over again yesterday. Mr. (Bonner’s friends felt very indignant at the accusations made by the other side of illegal voting, and when the election was held yesterday there were many who Iliad voted aginst l.Mr. Bonner at the pre vious election who supported him by rea son of the accusations made by the other side. ’Mr. Henry ißonner is a son of Captain R. 11.

Yet. they ilaim the worst element of “surething” have been run out since the United States troops have been put in here. IA very deplorable state of affairs exists here at the postoffice. I am told that Postmastei Sampson revives SB3 per month for his work or distributing tons of mail coming here for the hundreds that pass through here weekly. A sign upon the delivery window today at 10 a. m., stated that the office would not open till noon on account of the heavy mail. 1 happened to be near when it did open, but soon there was a hundred men line, and as the help is short, it takes hours before you can get your mail. 'Bus iness men in town cannot get boxes for their mail, as the rent for them over and above SB3 per month goes to the govern ment, so the postmaster refuses to put them. in. I am told that le'tters addressed in care of the northwest mounted police. White Horse Rapids, N. W. Territory, will reach persons iu passing there. The death rate here for some reason, has been exaggerated, ami we find things here In as good a state as any town on Che frontier place.
