New York. Feb IA World Washington
special says there unquestionably was a sort
of tacit understanding when the Louisiana
question was settled that there should be no
prosecution for past political otfenses. The
President intimatad to personal friends yes
action in Louisiana as carrying out in good
faith the promises made at the time when the
troops were withdrawn. The President is
also satisfied that these prosecutions are being
stimulated by discontinued Republicans in
this city and elsewhere, with a view to widen
the breach between himself and the party
Leaders i'll the Senate, and to undermine the
dpP,4 which has hitherto been extended to
IN 10y conservative men of all parties.
Washington, Feb At nited States Min
II Foster will give his testimony before the
Foreign Affairs Committee tomorrow, con-
corning Mexican matters. 1t is reported on
good authority that he has withdrawn his OPP
position to the recognition of Diaz, and now
holds that the stability of the Diaz Govern
ment has been sufficiently tested 1t is now
demonstrated. 1t does not follow, however,
that either Foster or the State Department
has receded from the position that some
terms guaranteeing the exercise of the
power of Mexico properly to protect our
border from predatory incursions, should be
exacted as a condition precedent to our recog-
milton of Dlas.

WELLS OF LOUISIANA AT BAY.

\ hard-headed, courageous old gentleman
Is Wells Of Louisiana Last Spring when
Dudley Field attempted to brow beat him, he
frightened that bullying demagogue into
something approaching politeness by declaring
as his eyes flashed fire, and the hon-like cour-
aye Of him was all aroused, that if he could
not be protected from that impudent lawyer S
insults, he would protect himself Now, like
Wellington, he grandly stands at bay. He
has come to Washington and says to MIR
Hayes, Mr. Matthews, Mr., Sherman and the
rest of the Wormlcy negotiators and Return
Ing Board allies that he and his associates
must have fair trial or he will make trouble
And there is CONSERVATION among the Worm
lev men: and since Bclshazzar saw the hand
writing on the wall no ruler has ever been so
badly scared as Rutherford the Good. There
is more "leathcr' in this valorous old hero
from Louisiana than in all the Presidency and
Cabinet. In their dealings with him they will
not find themselves

THE OPEN LETTER.

We have received a copy Of the san Fran
cisco open Letter Kearney 5 newspaper 1t
STYLES itself ''The official organ Of the Work
ingmans party. Of California. The style
and sort Of gramaticals which render The
Open Letter peculiarly would seem to
Indicate that Mir kcamey and his associates
to not include the most careful spoilers
among the 'workingmen. After all, how
ever, The Op4n Letter is so substantial an
Improvement on the Chronicle, Argonaut and
and other papers of like character with itself
that we cannot but regard its advent among
the journals of San Francisco as a decided
advancement in the literature of blackmail
Like the MORNING APPEAL the Open Letter
has a decided liking for shyness. For exam
pie: Kearney and WeIlock having gone to
Stockton Voluntarily. Our emotional con-
temporary opens out, in song, in this fashion,
rs follows:
Still we fly
And the Workingmans banner is on high
On the first page is a poem by Mr.. A. Won
Hcyne, entitled The Oakland Battle Hymn,
from which we quote the following lyric gem
To seize our fairy land,
To him the greedy hoidicS prayed.
StanfoIds and Chapman bands.
They took from us daily food,
They left stones Tor bread;
No other help remained we thought
Than riots blooly dread.
And from the mountain {, til SCI.
The toiug workers stout
The Oakland cry the battle cry,
And tight and tighter grew our bonds,
Like naconda's coil
The tyrant hates the honest man,
who with his muscle tolls,
Francscos Mayor, short OF brains
Put kingly frown
And sent his brutal watchmen Out,
To club the people down.
II planned tot irive them to de, pair
To hear their muskets ring,
And then he'd fetch his gatlng guns
And make his master King.
The people foled his hellish scheme
With freedoms sacred charms
They seized upon the halot-boX,
Loud the cry to arms
In an article wherein is discussed some of
Mr.. Dalzeils performances We find Fan
American citizen" treated with certain sort
of consideration and and an equally certain
originality of employing the word "impugn.
Says the Open Letter:
Mr. Stout got up as an Americans citizen
and expressed his opinion, as he has Just
right, criticising an article on the Santa Clara
Senatorship, which had appeared in the paper
that evening. Now we do not impugn any
motive to Mr.. s. in making that
speech, or tn a an influence was brought to
bear on him y Dalziel.
The fine literary vein running through the
Open Letter commends it to our admiration;
and we very cheerfully acq,,iesce in the re
quest to exchange.

NARROW GUAGE RAILROAD
WANTED

The Esmeralda Herald thinks they need a
narrow gauge railroad. Wouldn be surprised
if ths Herald were right In advocating this
undertaking the Herald says: No attempt
has ever been made to work this stcond quail
itv of ore owing to the G. trenleIv high price
If milling. All of this or world pay well if
it could be milled at cost not 20 exceed SO
per ton. If it could be taken for reasonable
cost to the water power of the Walker river
it could be milled for from IS to SO per ton,
and there is an exhaustless quantity of it.
We feel very sure that if Bodie anu Aurora
make as good Il showing, next sumu'rsa US
seems likely this enterprise, or one simIa
will be set on foot We have great faith III
the future of Esmeralda county.

ONE OF FARRAGUT'S SAILORS.
HnyIng He Would Break fasf I'm
Heaven. Hangs Himself in His
Cell.

From the New York Sun.l
Hugh Walsh, aged 81, was sentenced to
the Kings County Pcnitcntiary on the 3ist
ult., for six months. on a charge OF having
assaulted his wife, Margaret, at "a Flush
ing avenue. by striking her in the face with
his fist and kicking her. He was formerly
4 keeper Of the lighthouse at Fire Island.
Four years ago he married, and life OF
domestic discord ensued, and drunken
ness added TO his troubles. He threatened
three times to commit suicide. On Sun
day evening, when he was locked up, he
seemed unusually merry, singing and talk
ing TO himself. The watchman, Edward
Horan, spoke TO him several times, but he
sang on rs though he was in a particularly
jolly mood. He pulled at his pipe until
4:30 yesterday morning, and did not go to
bed. Then he asked the watchman for a
drink OF water, and as he drained the
glass he smacked his lips and said: 81
shall take breakfast in heaven" The
watchman laughed and passed on, but the
prisoner shouted it after him.
In the morning, when William Smith,
the keeper. passed Walshs cell, he saw
him with his back to the wall. holding on
10 the door with his hands. His body
was suspended by piece Of BEDFORD, from
Q wooden pin--used to hang blankets on.
He had but one leg and his right foot
barely touched the floor. The keeper cut
him down, but life was already extinct.
The Coroner's jury returned verdict of
suicide, and exoneratcd the penitcntiary
officials from all blame.
Walsh's body was covered with repre-
sentations of ships, anchors, capstans, and
other designs pricked into his skin in India
ink. He lost his leg in the battle OF Mobile
bay, on the Hartford, the flagship OF Ad-
miral Farragut's feet. He was gunner,
serving at his post, and shot which en-
tered the portfolio cut off his leg.

WITH A BULLET IN HIS HEAD.
Captain otto Alive Twenty.fOur
Days After He Tried to XIII
Himself
IEropn TIM Nar,r Yorl Qun

From the New York SUM-
Captain John Otto. one OF the Trustees
Of the Teutonia Savings Bank, tried to kill
himself on the morning Of the l1th ult.
He was Respondent, it was said, owing to
the trouble and charges growing out Of the
closing OF the Teutonis Bank. He shot
himself in the head. The next day it was
reported he was dying, and, in fact the
chances Of his recovery were considered
to be very slight by his family and friends.
Two chambers Of the revolver having been
found empty, il was surmised that he had
discharged two Of the cartridges but no
balls could be found, and there was only
u wound in the left eye.
Captain Otto is still alive, and il appa-
rently no nearer death than when he shot
himself twenty-four days ago. The ball
Is somwhere under the upper part Of the
skull, and very near the brain.
His case is an extraordinary one, and as
vet his physicians can say very little about
him except as to his actual condition each
day. He has been delirious most of the
time, and at the first he was frequently
very violent. OF late he has become
quicter. but his rational periods do not
increase in frequency or duration. Phys
ically he il in remarkable condition. He
takes q fair ariount Of nourishment each
day, and retains considerable OF his
strength. His pulse is genarally high.

yet remain mentally almost in his present
condition the rest OF his life2 is question
that his friends have asked. The posses
sion Of a good constitution and the care he
has taken Of himself weigh in his favor at
the present time. The wound made by the
ball has healed, the ball not having been
removed. Its presence may keep the brain
in q perpetual abnormal condition. He
will lose the use Of the eye through which
the ball passed. When rational he talks
