Death of Boy Swallowing Pin.

The Nashua (Iowa) Post contains
the following account of the death
of a boy from swallowing pin:
On Friday, January 8, James FL.
Scales, while playing on the grounds
near the public school building, swal
lowed pin. The attention Of his
schoolmates was at once called 10 the
TACT by the sufferers's severe strug
Cling, the boy acting at first as if the
pin was hurting him severely, and as
if he was going into spasms. The
teacher came running to his assis-
lance, and. lifting bin from the earth,
placed him in charge Of two of the
pupils and sent him TO his home.
At that time it was supposed by the
child'sparents and friends that be had
either swallowed the pin or thrown
it out, as he seemed to give no evi
dence that it was lodged in his throat.
The father Of the child told us soon
after the accident that he presumed
his by bad thrown the pin out dur
ing the violent coughing which fol-
lowed.
But the boy grew worse, and s. S
Troy was called . few days after
wards TO render medical aid The
doctor tells us ne found the sufferer
lying, as be had been all of the time
on his right side, with his head in
cIined forward. On the slightest
movement of tie head he would
scream as if suffering the most cx
circulating pain. During. all this time
he could swallow with little or no
difficulty, the SYMPTOMS all indicating
that the pin had been forced through
the walls of the throat and was still
working it's deadly passage through
his flesh, and utterly defying every
effort of medical skill to define its
whereabouts or remove the affection.
During this time one side Of his neck
assumed 8 somewhat bruised and
swollen appearance, as if the pin was
working in that direction, but tho
final examination showed that the
outward appearance resulted from
some other cause. Thus the little
sufferer fingered until Sabbath morn
ing last, January IL, when death
ended his troubles.
The parents were not fully satisfi-
ed as to the cause of his death, and
insisted upon a post norton examina
ton. The examination was conducts
ed by DR.. S. S. Troy, assisted by D,
II. Henry and DIR. C. E. Weeks
They found the pin between the
pharynx-the upper part Of the
nsophagos-and cervical vertebra,
the pin being pointed downward and
backward.

A Huge Railroad Consolidation Scheme.

Arrangements have been made for
a grand excursion this spring from
New York to the West over the Pa
cific railroads; and the spring sea
sons business on the railroads of the
West, the immense resources OF that
section, is likely to make q very ia
vorable impression on the European
capitalists who have been invited to
join in it, as it is stated the quantity
of grain held back in the West is
equal to the whole of last years crop
A gentleman has been dispatched To
Europe to extend in person the in
vitations for this excursion from the
leading railroad presidents in this
country to those eminent European
capitalists who are likely to take an
interest 10 American affairs. Great
Expectations are based on the advi-
ces already received from Europe
and The probable operation of Eu
ropean capital With the great
Wall street Clique leaders and rail-
way magnates in their grand scheme
to control and retain permanently
in their possession the management
Of all the leading railroads in the
country. Those railroads virtually
IN their possession now, by virtue OF
leases or bargains with holders Of the
stock or by holding a majority OF
the stock, are Erie, New York
Central, Hudson River, Harlem
Cleveland and Toledo, Pttsburg
Fort Wayne, Rock Islard. Michigan
Southern, Northwest, Ohio and Mis-
sissippi, Atlantic ard Great Western
Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Cen
trail, Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton, and Toledo, Wabash, aud West
ern, with annual cash receipts o.
over .$60,000,000 This gigantic
scheme, which has eventuated thu,
far in these results, is vie wed favora
bly, by certain Europeans possessed
of enormous wealth and influence
and it is quite probable that thi:
spring and summer may bring abou
arrangements with these Europeans
which will secure all the funds nee
essary to an assured and perfect sue
cess in the scheme, without relyins
upon the money markets here
The shrewdness ane experience O
the Europeans who are negotiating
in this matter have suggested tina
nothing be done, either in or out o
Wall street. to excite popular clamor
This point will be insisted upon a
essential to safety and success by al
the great leaders of this giganti
scheme. 1t will require to be mad
eecure in the estimation Of the Euro
pean Capita, lists that ali the railroad
shall be managed with economy, an
so as to have public opinion in thei
favor, by giving the people tn
greatest satisfaction in improved &C
commodations, with increased tacil
ties for travelling, and at moderat
charges for fair and freights Tn
Europeans will require that every
thing shtll be so managed as t
please the people, and to meet wit
their hearty cooperation and that {
their respectives.

French View of our Presidential
Election.

The Journal des Debate analyses
the vote cast of our Presidential
election, in an article signed by +.
Laboulaye, and says:
according to these figures it
would seem that the Democratic par
sy in the United States is still a most
formidable organization, and that
a mere accident. a passing excite
ment, one of those numerous second
AIRY causes which play important
roles in shaping popular verdicts,
might change the party now in a
minority to q majority. But cor
rect knowledge of all the facts bear
ing upon the question must convince
US that such view of the matt
would be erroneous. The fact is that
he strength of the Democrats is not
as great as it seems. Aside from the
fact that considerable portion OF
the vote thrown for its candidates
was frauudlent--e pecialiy in the lar
ger cities of the Easi--the Democra-
tic voter, though at the ballot box
equally influential with the Republi-
can voter. is inferior to him in intel
ligence. Hence, as the history OF the
two parties has shown, and will show
in the future, the Republicans will
constantly gain new converts, and
the Democrats will be weakened in
proportion. Mismanagement on the
part of the Republican leaders, gross
corruption on the part Of the func-
tionaries the party chooses, and dis
asters, over which they have no con
troll, may temporarily check the pro,
gress of the party but these checks
IN the nature of things, can never be
but transient and temporary +; and
as q general thing, the gains Of the
Republicans will be steady and con
siderable. Such is always the cas-,
when intelligence is mostly confined
to one side of . party struggle. It'll
true, the intelligent party is Otter
less we'll drilled than the unintelli
gent mass on the other side, and tenn
porary disasters may arise from thi
fact, just as an army of intelligen
soldiers may once or twice be beatel
| by a phalanx of we'll drilled idiots
but, in the long run, the triumph i
sure 20 be on the side of the intelIi
gent soldiers and intelligent voters
When we read, therefore, that sixt'
per cent. of the American voters a
the recent Presidential election wer
Republicans, and forty per cent
Democrats, we must add to the form
er the preponderating weight of in
telligence. and lessen the latter in
corresponding manner"

HELPING Members
OF the Legislature have voted them
selves $25 worth Of postage stamps,
$50. worth of stationery and $40
worth of newspapers-making SIS
each, in addition TO salary Of $500
and mileage. This will do and will
not bo complained of by the people
If the members will just stop there.
The members from Grant voted,
some of them, against these appro~
priations, some for part only; but we
do not see that members should deny
themselves liberal supply of stamps
and stationery for actual use during
the session. 1t is the excess OF
amounts voted and abuse ofthe pow
er which is complained of, And we
presume it is also we'll enough for
members to take at the public ex.
pense q few daily and weekly news
papers for use during the time of
their serving the public.

A CHANGE.-It now appears more
than probable that the legislature
will authorize return to the old sn-
percisor system of county govern
ment. The people are clearly dis
satisfied with the present system,
under which the members pay so lit,
tie regard TO any business except
what may relate 10 their local and
individual interests. The poor towns
which usually deserve more aid than
the wealthy towns, are usually put
OF with the least aid for roads ana
bridges. Wealth receives more than
its share of iavors and deserving
poverty great deal less. And in
dlvidual energy and cunning are
sure to DO rewarded above merit
while honest deserts are too Otter
disregarded. 1t is believed that by
return to the old practice by which
each town will be represented by .
chosen citizen at meetings of county
boards, there will be greater unitor-
nifty in the distribution Of aids and
the bestowments Of supervisor bios
sings.

Very truly yours,
Philadelphia, Jan IS, 1899. W.B. REED.
Comparison of our Present Rulers with
Former Statesmen.

A popular delusion prevails in re-
gard to the character and capacity of
the Senate of our times, as compared
with the Senate of thirty and forty
years ago, during the era of CLAW.
W ebster, Calhoun and Benton. There
is az amiable propensity in the human
mind to revere antiquity. We look
backward upon our ancestors through
golden haze. We read OF their
great deeds with kindling eyes and
swelling hearts, and exclaim, There
were giants in those days" But the
atmosphere through which we gaze
upon the acts and actors of tygone
times magnifies their dimensions.
IT'S distance lends enchantment to
the view. The four distinguished
men we have named displayed rare
gifts and performed eminent services
IN their day. We are not quite sure
how they would have stood the test
OF the trying and troublous exigen-
cies which the last eight years have
produced. The subjects they hand
led dwarf by the side of those with
which the statesmen of the current
period have been called to deal. We
only know that in attempting Ito
play controlling parts in the opening
scenes of this grand drama THESE
great men conspicuously failed.
We believe that posterity will de.
eide that the Senate and the House
OF Representatives of our time con,
tam as mnch talent and wisdom. and
exhibit as mucn practical statesman
ship and effective eloquence. as have
been displayed by those bodies in any
preceding period of our history.-V

Capital Punishment.

1t is believed that the legislature
may provide for the taking of hu
man life by hanging, as q punishment
for wiltul aid unprovoked crime
Should the criminal code be so
changed among other seeming need,
tul amendments, it will be set down
as a backward step of the age in
which We live.
The individual responsibility is
great at this time. Foul murders
and the too Oft failures to deal TO the
murderers due punishment are the
present points for discussion. And
men are too apt to require laws for
revenge in such cases rather than
for reforming the guilty ones. 1t Is
by no means an established fact that
society is better protected by having
laws for capital punishment, or that
hanging diminishes the calendar OF
murders. But rather il is shown
from criminal reports that murders
and brutalities are Increased by the
public or private execution OF con.
victs for crime.
As citizen We doubt the policy
of restoring capital punishment, and
were we a Legislator we should hesi-
tate before casting vote for such
change, though should favor several
changes in the laws to insure convic,
tions FOR crime. Too much favor Is
allowed by the courts TO technical
rules, by which most Of the failures
TO coAvict are brought about.
We wiite this in the knowledge Of
the recent murders in Grant, Rich
land aud Crawford counties, and il
the knowledge that the people art
greatly excited ou account of such
crimes.
