The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1879-08-14

The great sensation of the time is the
Sprague Conkling scandal. From the
prominence of the actors it rivals in in
terest the Beecher-T ilton scandal and
may yet occupy as much space in the
public papers. Conkling has always
been considerable of gallant and before
his intimacy with Mrs. Sprague had a
HasOn with the wife of federal officer,
which prevented his family from living
with him at Washington. His intimacy
with Mrs. Sprague had its origin IN her
seeking his services to have the taxes on
an estate of hers RENTED. He interested
himself in her affairs and mutual af-
lection grew up. Mrs. Sprague frequent
ed the senate chamber because of Conk-
ling and many of his speeches drew their
inspiration from her presence. During
the extra session they seemed to defy
| public opinion and openly showed their
admiration for each other. Mrs. Sprague
would sit in the gallery through te-
dious all night session if CoEkling was
present They were always exchanging
notes and looks of admiration. 1t is
believed that the quarrel between Conk-
ling and Lamar resulted from his infatu-
alton for Mrs. Sprague. She was present
and wished to go home. Conkling want
ed to accompany her, but on adjourn
ment could not be had and he lost his
temper.
Mrs Sprague is said to be indescriba-
bly, beautiful, but her character was
somewhat smirched before her marriage.
She has great love for the society of
public men and is quite politician.

SENATOR CoSKLING pursued his
amours without any thought of public
opinion. He has until recently enjoyed
comparative immunity from scandal,
though he furnished an abundance of
material Lately he visited Mrs. Kate
Chase Sprague, with the evident inten-
ton of staying for some time as he
brought his trunk along. Ex-Governor
Sprague finally mustered up sufficient
courage to resent Coukling's attentions
to his wife, and hunted the imperious
senator with shot gun. He followed
Roscoe from the house and some say
they had knock down arguments, but
others insist it was only a wordy war.

The editor of the Tribune was very in
dustrious in charging 10 Rankin with in
teresting himself in electing delegates in
this county favorable to the nomination
Of Ludingtou. In the light of late de-
velopments one can fully understand the
Indignation of the Tribune. Its editor
wrote to LGdington asking him for one
hundred dollars SIS q sort of political
loan promising to secure the Manitowoc
delegation for him Uudington). Old
Hal was shrewd enough to postpone ne
gotiations until after the convention. The
Tribune will find il difficult work to de-
liver the representative votes of the re-
publican party of the county to any can
didate.

SUICIDE.

SeH-murder is becoming so common
that there is an effort being made to
destroy its popularity. Every senti-
mental youth looks upon suicide as an
escape from fancied evils and means of
acquh .ng notoriety which could never be
obtained through living. The name he
makes lives after him; the bad is ''inter-
red with his bones" Iaudlin senti-
ment supplants courage, and as his life was
sort of idle dream it fades into moth
ingness. The contempt of life is looked
upon as a manifestation of courage.
The veil which conceals futurity many
are fearful of raising. The suicide deems
himself hero here as he tears it aside
regardless Of consequences. He deies
the future in his weak way and expects
the homage of the world for his fool
hardness. Suicide is becoming fash
ionable because folly is on the increase.
Melancholy is mistaken for poetic senti-
ment. The "divine affiatus" turRs the
fools hand against his own life, and he
then has done what he thinks has made
him famous. The man who nurses mel
ancholy until death becomes passion is
to be despised as a fool rather than pit
led as an unfortunate. The man who
takes death as an avenue of escape from
affiiction is coward. This is the pro-
per way to look upon suicide. If people
who resort to it as means of acquiring
rotoriety or relief be branded as fools
rather than glorifed as martyrs, the
sentimental young man would express
his melancholy in signs and solitude and
the coward would seek some means Of
escape less likely to bring reproach upon
his memory.
| Suicide was recognized as a duty in
pagan times, but it was deemed sub
lime expression of pride which would
not allow the victim to contribute to the
| triumph of the victor. 1t was adopted
as means to escape degradation. 1t
was made national duty when adversely
overwhelmed hopes of success. 1t was
approved by a public sentiment which
could not be ignored without infamy.
The vanquished Roman whose defeat
precluded hopes of success could only
save his honor by throwing away his
life. The tyranny of fashion silenced
his own scruples. Disgrace was on one
hand death on the other, and it was for
him to make the selection.
The modern fool who seeks to antici-
pate the course of nature in solving the
"great secret, is not urged on by the
force of memorable sentiment. His folly is
his own and he should be treated as a
fool rather than worshipped as a hero.
Let crime be honored and it will have
an increased number of devotees. Let il
be denounced as 1t should, and only those
who are vicious will be its votaries.

A MOMENTOUs ISSUE.

THF DISPUTE AS TO HOW SECRETARY
TED.
A correspondent at Washington says:-
The Democratic newspapers have made
another startling discovery, showing the
turpitude of Secretary Sherman. Only
a few days ago an enterprising correspon-
dent of one Of those journals unearthed a
.ssecret bureau" in the Ire Asury Depart
lnent, where Republican campaign docu-
ment were being turned out by whole
sale. It was found that this campaign
literature consisted entirely of official
statements prepared to answer inquiries
of correspondents. The latest "tind is
that Secretary Sherman is compelling his
subordinates to send out his own speech
in the official envelopes OF the depart
ment, Two thousand copies Of Secreta-
~ Sherman's speech were printed, of
which 800 were deliver, d to the newspa-
pers. Most of the remainder have been
distributed, some through the mails, and
others in answer TO personal applications.
So far as any responsible person In the
Treasury knows, every copy that has
been sent by mail has been inclosed in
blank wrapper aud lhe pustage prepaid
with an ordinary postage stamp. The
postage on each copy is / cent, so that
The TEN ptation to steal the postage is not
really very great. Officials OF the Treas
ury Department say that If single copy
of the speech has gone out in an official
envelope the envelope has been surrep-
titiously obtained by some one who had
no right to use it: and If such use Of an
envelope can be traced to any one in the
Department, he will be promptly dealt
with,

On Tuesday next, M. L. Lichtenstein,
ESQ.,, aud Francis Vincent, Esq. expect
to be elected, 10 the positions they now
fill, by democratic votes. They are con-
stantly smiling and. inviting democrats
to support them. i will give some rea-
sons why no democrat should vote for
either of them. In the first place they
do not deserve any praise for doing their
sworn duty. They have not shown by
any act of their own that they have
done anything towards retrenchment or
reform. Chey have not raised their
voices against the party to which, they
belong for the extravagant manner in
which they spent the peoples money.
No, they are silent, and by..their silence
they show that they approve of the
shameful manner in which they spent
the money last August in the street de-
partment. Hers it is, for one month In
round numbers, taken from the books,
$3,3S5.O5. In five weeks they spent
this amount alone in the street depart
ment. Another important r. ason why
they should not reosive any democratic
votes, is they are republicans of the
deepest dye. They approve OF the
course of their papers here in abase Of
the democratic party. They endorse
the fraudulent Inauguration Of X. B..
Hayes, as President, and are In favor Of
Grant and his US. Marslsls, and ii
they had The power in Delaware they
would uss the bayonet on, Tuesday next
to deprive democrats of their votes.
They believe that democrats are traitors
aid rebels, and under no circumstance
would they support one. They approve
of all the acts of tyranny their party has
heaped upon the democrats. How any
democrat can vote for such men, when
our party present such men as Harry
Sharpley, Esq, and John Guthrie.
There can be no excuse whatever. II
is TO be hoped that no democrat will
cast his ticket because of smil ng and
politeness, both of which is for effect,
and rot from the heart If they would
but honestly express their feelings tow
ards the democratic party, it would be
in the language of their paper, the Re
publican, which says the democrats are
dishonest and unfit to take any part in
the legislation Of this country. Let any
democrat pause before he votes for such
men, when such excellent men are pre-.
sented by their own party. .,i s-is ,a
