THE SECRETARY OF THE YEL
LOW METAL LEAGUE.
"Let me see," said the Honorable Webster Whiterock to himself one morning, as he sat in his private office, "three sets of encyclopedias four dictionaries; one history of the Spanish-American war; one copy of Our Nation's Builders'; one on 'How to Attain Success'; I wonder how many handbooks of the United States; three or four stereoscopes each one the best on the market—all others are franks; views—ye Gods! I'll have to rent another room when all those views come If the canvassors could vote here there might be some consolation in that; but they are all in Colorado do for the summer only. But what am I to do? My time is valuable and there's no way to get rid of them but to buy. Henry,'he called to the office boy, "if anyone comes here today with anything to sell tell him I have gone to Denver to try a case—no that won't do; he'll sit down and wait for me to come back. Tell him I've been sent to the penitentiary for life—or that I have gone to the cemetery with the undertaker and will not return The point is, get rid of him, for good."
The attorney settled himself down to writing a brief for the defense in the case of Skinner vs. DeLey. Mr. Whiterock was a young man but he had gained an enviable reputation at the bar. He had a laudable ambition to represent his district in Congress. Already his friends had talked him over as a possible candidate; his prestige as a lawyer was increasing every day; his record was clean, and while he had not declared himself as a candidate he had some hopes, and not without reason, that he might have strong support for the nomination by the time the convention met.
There was one difficulty he had to face. His party in that district was divided on the silver question. The two factions were nearly equal and were bitterly at war. The candidate ought to be a man who could unite the opposing factions. While this would require a great deal of
tact and judgment, he and some of his friends felt that he was equal to it.
The brief was well under way when he heard some one enter the office. As Henry came into the private room, Mr. Whiterock caught a glipse of the stranger through the door. His first impression was that it was his friend, a certain United States Senator from the East. But that was hardly possible as the Senator was in Europe only a day or two before. No it was some other distinguished person. "A gentleman to see you," said Henry.
"Show him in!"
The caller was ushered into Mr. Whiterock's presence and introduced himself. The attorney tried to think where he had heard the name before, but could not; nevertheless, he greeted the stranger cordially.
"My business with you, my dear sir," said that individual, "is not strictly in the line of your profession. It is, in fact, of a political nature. Your own views are well known. I may say that I am a lifelong member of the same party as yourself. Four years ago, however, when the party split on the silver question, I found myself - I say it frankly - on the side of the gold stan lard. In this district, then, as you are aware, I was out of harmony with my party. Those of the party with whom I agreed banded themselves together into what we called a Yellow Metal League. We determined to remain inactive during that campaign and trust to time for the vindication of our principles. The time has now come for action. Heretofore the very existence of the league has not been made public, but now we deem its duty to begin an active warfare for the right. Of that league I have the honor to be secretary. As you are aware, a congressman is to be chosen ere long, to represent this district in the national legislative assembly. In the selection of a candidate for Congress the league is greatly interested. We have taken over, repeatedly, a large number of possible candidates. Your own name has been frequently mentioned, and never, I believe, unfavorably. If you are likely to be at leisure some time in the future, I should be pleased to confer with you upon the subject—that is, if you are interested."
The attorney was intensely interested. He very pleasantly informed that stranger that the present time would suit him perfectly. The attorney was well satisfied as the conversation progressed, with his own part in it. He felt that he was making a favorable impression upon his visitor. He congratulated himself that he was to secure the support of so powerful an organization as the Yellow Metal League undoubtedly must be.
"You understand, I think," said the secretary when the conference had lasted some little time, "that our league does not demand, as a condition for its support, that any candidate shall become openly and avowedly one of us. We are satisfied if he shows a disposition to investigate the question and give our side a hearing. This you seem disposed to do. But material to prosecute such an investigation as we should like to have our candidate make is not readily accessible. You no doubt have a large number of books on the subject, but are they up to date? Do they give the workings of the single gold standard up to within the last six months? Manifestly, not. Periodicals of all kinds are either biased or unreliable from other causes. Have you not noticed that material is scarce."
The attorney had noticed it, and he really wondered if there were any reliable information to be had. "Yes," said the secretary, "there is one book that is absolutely reliable, up-to-date and complete. It is entitled "A Manual of Economic Facts." It would fill your wants to a T. I think I can show you a few sample pages. Ah yes, here they are," drawing a roll of paper from his breast pocket. "The book is an admirable one. It has the endorsement of our committee, as well as of several members of congress, United States senators, college presidents and ministers all over the land. Before going into details as to the literary and statistical excellence of the book, allow me to call your attention to the fact that it is a rare product of the typographical art. Printing was invented by Guttenberg in the early part of the fifteenth century. The Chinese, it is true, lay claim to a much earlier enven—"

"I think I catch on, interrupted Mr. Whiterock. "Put me down for a copy, but do not give me history of printing. I've heard it often enough the past week—the whole beastly rot, from the heatten Chinee and that Dutchman, Guttenberg, down to the latest improved method used only by the publishers of your volume. Several times when I should have been busy, I have paused to reflect on the wonderful improvement in the typographical art within the last few years. I have no doubt but your book would be an ornament to any library. I have listened to the recommendations—in all probability yours are the same as the others. Whatever is done about Silver, canvassing should be made a violation of the law of nations. Excuse me if I return to my work."
When the secretary of the Yellow Metal League had gone, the attorney made several remarks to himself, and about himself, but he refuses to furnish the exact language for publication.
"Which ever one is the highest priced. It always ends that way, and I'd as well save time. Good day."
"Thank you for your order, sir. Sheep or leather?"

Great Musical Attraction.
Coming to Kansas City, Innes and His
Handy Conversion Hall Feb. 21.
BARRIE CONEY EARL
Karen Kendall harr the celebrated Innes concert band in Convention hall, Sunday afternoon and evening, February 2. The announcement is of particular interest in this locality, which has its full share of towers of band music. Kansas City considers the engagement the most important, barring Gran grand opera, this season. Buffalo believes that Innes is without a rival. Innes played several weeks at the Pan-American exposition and the crush about the Temple of Music daily became so great that the newspapers demanded police protection. People to look and it was necessary to lock and bar the performers out. This engagement in Buffalo won for Innes the high honor of opening the music season at Charleston's exposition.
At Atlantic City last summer the band played to nearly one million people. The band now is making a triumphal tour through the South and is traveling in the "Innes Special" composed of three Pullman cars, constructed solely for Innes, his band and his grand opera singers.
Innes concerts are unlike any others. Not only do they present splendid variety in band music, but also entire scenes from grand opera by operatic stars of international reputation. The most important star for the present tour is Signorina Adele Borghi, Italy's greatest Carmin, a prize beauty both in voice and form whom Maurice Grain tried to secure for this season. The others include Miss Francesca Cipollone andsome young prima donna; Signor Edgar Dzoer, the robust tenor, and Signor Alberto Alberti, the hebride bass-banitone. The operatic selections will be from Bizer "Carnion" Grooma "Fauset" and Donizettii "Lucià di Lammeroor." Mr. Innes also has an musical blacksmith, who, in red shirts and leather aprons and with electric anvils, make beautiful spectacles of avail choruses.
It is probable that a large party will go from here to attend the concerts. Railroad rates may be had on application to the local agent. Reserved seats will go on side at the Union Pacific ticket office 100 Kansas City beginning Monday morning, January 27 and 50 cents; box seats $1,00.
