Measures, Not Men.

The Frankfort (Ky.) Yeoman thus audes to the
devotion of the democratic party to measures, and
their long, uninterrupted adherence to principle 1t
appears in gratifying contrast to the present misera
bic pretence of the know nothing order to find in
Fillmore sufficient platform of principles:
enclosures, not men,, has ever been the watch
word and battle cry of the democracy Under it we
have won many victories and well for true republi
canism has it been so. A big white feather, pair
Of top boots, and brass epauIes, name, may
serve our opponents for platform, but the old democ
racy despises such worship and idoatry. Our
party is rich in names that are an honor to the age
and nation; yet of these, if we had our
choice, would we be willing to accept platform,
or to acknowledge as the sole embodiment of our po-
tica principles, the only leader who could carry
and capacity in the nominee Ct the convention on
the good old democratic platform, and our party will
certainly make him President, and guaranty his ad
ministraton equal to any emergency

Col. Walker.

The New York Tribune cannot repress its exul-
tatlons at the reverses which Walker and his little
band of Adventures have encountered. We do not
understand how any American can view with COM
placency the slaughter of his countrymen by for
eigners; no matter though his coun,rymen may fall
in bad cause which we are not prepared to &C
knowledge Col. Walkers cause to be- But it is per-
fectly nauseating for negroe thieves like the New
York Tribune, wholesale land robbers, like Great
Britain, to prate and whine about the dishonesty Of
filibustering.
Lord Clarendon, in a secret, sneaking way, may
take hand himself at illbusering in Central Amer
lea, but that's all right Walker, openly and above
board engages in fllbustering, and some of his own
countrymen rejoice in the prospect of his extermna

Death of PercIvaI, the Poet.

Or. James G. Percval, one of our American poets
of extensive popularity, died Friday last, in Wis
consn, having for time held the Office of Geol-
ogist of that State. Mr.. Pcrcival was the son of
physician, and was born September 18th, 1895 in
Berlin, near Hartford, Conn. He received his collie
giae education at YALE and subsequently, entered the
Medical School of the institution receiving the
degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1920. His first vol
ume of poems was published n-1S2l and it was well
received. In the following year he published two
successive volumes of miscellaneous poems and prose
writings, under the title of " Clo,'' third volume,
of similar character and with the same title, not
appearing until 1927. His last volume of poetry,
" The Dream of Day and other Poems," was pub
lished in 184s.
For short period in 1924 he held commission
as assistant surgeon in the United States army, but
resigned soon and removed to Boston. Afterwards
he devoted himself to the study of Geology, and was
appointed By the government of Connecticut to make
geological survey of the State which he did to the
entire satisfaction of the authorities his report being
| an elaborate document of some five hundred pages
octave. Of late years he had led quiet reserved,
bachelor lfe in New Haven. until recently, when he
undertook the Office of geoIogst of Wisconsin, in the
performance of whose duties be has Just died at the
age of siXty-on
| Percivars early writings gave promise of great

and energy than of genius. Poetry to which he de-
| voted himself with enthusiasm in his youth, after
wards became minor matter and medicine, and ge-
o!ogy, ana translaung, successlVely drew him from
his first delightful art lie was also close student
and had attained remarkable knowledge of Ian
guages. During his term of Office geoogist of
Connecticut he found time to write and publish vol
ume of poetical translatons from eleven different
European tongues including the Russian Polish, Be-
hemian, Servian, Danish, Dutch and Swedish. His
fancy was lively, his taste elegant and his command
OF language remarkable whilst he had unusual skill
in the management of every variety of English verse
He has written many exquisite things and we can
believe that he only failed to accomplish some great
| work from a lack of energy.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT .-MlrGcodouS Escape On
Thursday singular accident occurred on the Harlem
railroad. The mail passengers train was proceeding
at its usual speed, when, owing to defect in the
iron the axle of the hind truck of the baggage
broke short off, and the truck at once hurled back
upon the first passenger Striking the first truck
of this car il detached the trucks, passed under
the car through its whole length, ripping up the floor
and the seats on both sides, with the exception of
few at the further end, The force of these two de-
tached trucks disodged the other truck OF this car,
and the three were then hurled upon the second pas
senger car The first truck of this unable to Withstand
the shock, was likewise torn from its place, and the
four trucks poughed through the flooring of this
ALSO scattering seats and passengers in all directions.
They were finally brought up by the hind truck and
the train stopped when the four trucks found
piled up in heap the end of this car, and nearly
reaching to the roofing. These two cars contained
eighty to one hundred passengers-men, women and
children-and, marvellous to relate, with SINCE
exception, not one of them received a scratch.
The LAND WARRANT FoRGER1Es.-The statement
that forgeries of land warrants have been discovered
at Washington to the extent of million of acres is
said to be exaggeration of the true facts in the
case. gang of forgers in these operations were
detected at New Orleans some time ago, who had
their plans prepared for large issues perhaps
the represented but the certificates and appa
ratus seized by the authorities, and consequently
the whole scheme failed. Individuals the prin-
cpal sufferers from forged assignments which, with
every precaution hardly be prevented. The
Courts have held that there law for the punish
ment of forgeries of land warrants, which has en-
couraged this description of depredations. Mr.. Nc
Clelland, the Secretary of the INTERIOR has recently
recommended the passage Of act to cover this de-
