A LAKE DISASTER.
Additional Particulars of the Collision
of the st. Andrew and PeshtigO, by
which Two Lives were Lost
and Both Vessels sunk.

PORT HURON, June 27.-The crew of the
st. Andrew arrived this afternoon on the pro-
peller Ocean. The following is the statement
by Jas. Hockett, second mate of the st. An
drew. He says that she was beading north
east, weather cloudy, wind southeast, making
about five knots an hour; could see the
PeShtigo about one mile off; had shown a
torch three minutes before the vessels came
together; both vessels sunk In abouC nine
minutes; when they struck the st. Andrew
fell over on the Reshtigo, taking out her fore
and main mast; two of her men jumped on
the Peshtigo forward; heard Captain Lyner
say to his second mate, ''John,9you done a
bad job; why didn't you call me?" the Pesh-
tigo crew were ordered to lower the boat; the
second mate, name unknown, and John Boyle,
who was at the wheel when the accident hap
pened, went after their clothes; Boyle was
not seen again. The second mate lowered
himself to the water on the davet falls. The
Peshtigo's stern was forty feet In the air,
sinking rapidly, when her crew got into
the boat; none of them had knife except
the captain, who cut the painter when the
boat was standing on her beam-ends, luckily,
for it saved all from drowning, as a large
whirlpool, swallowing the sinking vessel,
caused both small boats to come together,
in which way they remained un til picked up
by the schooner s. V. Il. Watson, two hours
later. In the morning the st. Andrew crew
were transferred to the propeller Ocean. bound
down. The Peshtigo's crew remained on the
Watson, and will be taken to Chicago. Both
crews lost all their clothing. The vessels sank

Sherman, the Worst Man
That Lives.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: Mrs. jerks is
evidently a puppet, but the investigating
committee have In vain been peering past
and around her In order to discover whose
hand is at the wire. The only conceivable
object yet made apparent in bringing her to
the front as witness seems to be an awk-
ward effort to cover up what is Familiarity
known as ''the Sherman letter." but her at
tempt to exculpate Sherman from all partici-
patton In the matter by voluntarily taking on
herself a penitentiary crime. is so fearfully
and wonderfully thin that whoever put her
up to the job must rest under the imputa-
ton of beng a knave, whose rascality was
thrown completely in the shade by the fact
that he has proved himself to be the most
hopeless fool known IN the history of Ameri-
can politics. No one who knows the history
of Secretary Sherman can believe for an in
slant that he would be guilty of the folly of
putting this woman forward to contradict her
OF which there Is at present no evidence, and
consequently the imputations laid at Sher-
mans door must for the present be treated
with the contempt they merit. There were
doubtless some pretty scaly things done IN
the course of the count In Louisiana, but It Is
yet to be proved that the Republican share of
the business was any dirtler than that of the
Democrats; and 1t is certain, whatever Sher-
man and the administration may or may not
need in the way of encouragement and sup
port, the Republican party neither desires =
nor can it afford to accept the assistance of
such volunteer political organizers as Mrs.
jerks.

The United States Arsenal Grounds at
Little ROck-A Profitable Deal
All Round.

arkansas Democrat: One plank in the
OF the United States donating to the State the
United States arsenal grounds and buildings
In this city for the purposes of a statehouse.
At the time military post was established at
this place Little Rock was on the frontier, the
people menaced by unfriendly Indians, and
its necessity was apparent. A line of posts
was established about the same time, extend
ing nearly or quite to the Rocky mountains.
Forts Towson and Washita, on Red river,
and Forts Smith and Gibson, and other posts
along the Arkansas, were all established about
the same time. All of these posts, save that
at Fort Gibson, have long since been aban-
doned. There Is no longer any necessity for
them. Of what benefit to the army is depot
of supplies at this pointP If there was no
necessity for keeping up the post at Fort
Smith, bordering on the Indian Nation. where
the necessity OF keeping one at Little Rock?
1t only adds that much more expense for
keeping up the army. The few soldiers who
are kept here might be sent to the frontier,
and the supplies which are kept on hand
transferred to the st. Louis arsenal, thus saw
ing whatever of cost it may be to the govern
ment for transportation. There being no ne
cessity for keeping up military post at this
place, the government would do a generous
and righteous act by donating the arsenal
grounds and buildings to the State for the
purposes of statehouse. And then the State
would do herself honor to donate to Pulaski
county her interest in the present old rookery
of building, used by the State, for court
house.

than cold water, cannot hope TO cope
with Gordon, VINO has not been
diverted from the practice of his profession
by any of the great moral side-shows which
afford recreation for irrepressible stump
speakers. And so we might go through with
the list. making contrasts unfavorable TO the
opposition, but "a they will readily suggest
themselves to our readers we forkear. Suf-
ice 1t that, admitting all that can be said by
the friends of this really Radical ticket in IA
vor of the gentlemen whose names compose
1t, they will not stand comparison
with those select I'd by the Democratic con-
ventIon. There is, therefore, nothing IN 1t
to warrant the detection in our ranks upon
which 1t is predicated. There Is not single
name upon it that should induce a change of
heart by any Democrat, and there Is not
the faintest scintilla of a principle in 1t that
would justify remuneration of lifelong as
sociations. So far as the enticement of DEM
ocrats Is concerned, then it ought to be a
total failure; and it will be, if the Democrat
lie committee and the Democratic candidates
do their work with a zeal and spirit equal to
that which characterized the convention.
For unity, peace and concord, every Demo-
crat should strive, as for conditions essential
to success throughout the year.

PARTY ES.
The Difference between the Democrats
and Republicans Expressed In the
Words, =" ECONOMY, Rrtrench-
ment and Reform"

Washington special to New York Herald:
American politics inevitably center about the
next Presidential election; and whatever con-
gress mas done or omitted to do has been
moved by the aspirations OF the leaders On
both sides. Considering that no questions of
public importance now divide parties, and
that, SO far as principle or policy goes, citi-
zen might almost as easily vote for one plat
form as the other, it is comical that the whole
strength and effort OF both sides In this con-
gress has been put forth to maintain party
lines. The Democrats in the house chose
General Field doorkeeper, less because they
liked him than because, being nominated,
they were urged to stick together ito prove
that they were party" So, too, the Potter
resolution was adopted, not because it had
the hearty consent of the party, but because
it was thought necessary to beat the Repub-
lican opposition to 1t. As for the Repubii-
cans, in the senate they put In Kellogg to
show that they were party, and In general
they were always ready to show their teeth to
their opponents In that house. Yet, on all
measures Of public and general Importance,
both parties broke up without the least hest
tation. Neither party has been able to hold
a caucus together in the whole eight months,
and it has not even been made reproach
to any one In either party that he
voted as he chose ON any real question.
Out of all this has come decided good.
Several important measures, such as the tariff,
the Brazilian subsidy and others, have shown
In very positive way the tendencies of the
two parties. The country has been aole to
see tor itself that, whatever platforms may
say, the spirit and policy of the Republicans
and Democrats are essentially opposed. Thus
the greater number Of the Democrats sup
ported the tariff bill; almost all the Repub-
llcans opposed 1t; the greater number of the
Republicans supported the Brazilian subsidy;
the greater number of Democrats opposed it;
the Democratic house opposed jobs and sub
sldies; the Republican senate favored liberal
appropriations and internal improvements
In short, the new questions, as Senator La
mar called them, made themselves felt; and
it is very plain here that the Republican lead
ers are cautiously feeling their way to new
declaration OF policy. They see that the
southern Issue is dead, and they begin to zee
that it is az the party of protection, of liberal
appropriations In the shape of subsidies and
internal improvements, and of paternal in
reference generally, that they must presently
appear before the country. Mr.. Blaine's sew
eral addresses in Pennsylvania during the
