VIM. M. DERR, of Lebanon, is one
Of the "Garfeld Republicans" on the
Independent State Committee. He
voted for Neal Dow for President in
1880. That is the sort of a Garfield
Republican he was.

WHEN Hancock was nominated he
was to run like Ere through clearing.
He did, but it was the wrong direc-
ton. Then came Pattison. His GER
tifcate of election was almost prepared
the night he was nominated, and it is
said that he seriously contemplated
composing his inaugural address, but
already his weakness and his unfitness
are inspiring the once confident ma
jority with the most distressing fears

The party that burdened the State

were deposed from power, they were
recklessly increasing, will inspire no
confidence by spccious appeals to tax

PRESIDENT ARTHUR yesterday
vetoed the river and harbor bill

gives almost universal satisfaction,
because it was supposed to be a steal
of gigantic proportions.

M'KEE's pen is now the thorn in

smart rhetoric but it is stupid politics
that suggests the combining the name

THE Democrats are "always" in
favor Of the masses as against monop-

are English free trade monopolists.
Like the legitimists Of France, they
are willing that the English shall eat
the crops and pillsge the land if it is
only done in the name of free trade.

Marrow Escape OF Dominion Line
Steamer.
QUEBEC, May 15.-The Dominion line steam
ship Mississippi, which arrived here yesterday
from Liverpool, had an eventful passage On
the 2st inst. she was run into by the Norwe-
gian barque Dronningen. She was afterward
fast in the ice foe for two weeks and had hel
bow stove in, causing panic among the Nor
wegian emigraDts. The vessel was leaking
badly and threatening to sink at any moment.
The holes in the bow were plugged and pieces
of sail fastened over them on the outside.
This partially stopped the leak. Incoming
steamships report the Gulf still full of ice and
a whole fleet OF vessels tuck fast in the frozen
fields.

REEDS SUCCESS.
The Grounds of the Geneva Award Bill

Boston Journall
Much credit Is due to Mr.. Reed Of Maine,
chairman of the judiciary committee, for the
passage by the House of the bill providing for
the distribution of the balance of the Geneva
sward to those who are actual sufferers by the
policy which Great Britain adopted toward the
United States during the war. Mr.. Reeds
presentation of the case in opening the debate
is a model of concise, clear and cogent state
ment, which may be adopted by other gentle
men in Congress with much advantage. His
speech covers less than two pages Of the Con-
gressional Record. There does not appear to
be but one unnecessary sentence in it, and If
that wereomitted there would not be parti-
Gle of humor in the two pages The sentence re-
insurance companies, after making such hand
some profits by war premiums, ask for more,
which is: "Simply because the incorporated
man has a courage sublime enough to put the
man is satisfied to be paid once; how many
payments would satisfy the incorporated man
human experience has not yet decided"
The ground which Mr.. Reed takes is that
the arbitration which resulted in the Geneva
award was an affair between nations. Indi-
vidual claims were presented to ascertain the
amount OF the damage, but, both governments
having established certain rules respecting the
duties Of neutrals, our government, always ex-
pecting to be neutral, was much more inter
ested in having such q construction placed up
on these rules as would protect fus against fu-
ture danger when Great Britain might have
similar claims against the United States.
When, therefore, Great Britain's representa-
tives objected TO paying any damage upon our
claim that her conduct prolonged the war, our
representatives withdrew it. In reference to
the inculpated cruisers the British representa-
tives admitted that due diligence had not been
observed to suppress them, but when it came
to the class of cruisers known as exculpated
Great Britain objected and our government
acouiesced, because it was not for our interest
to have the rule drawn too strictly, because
when we became neutral power it would be
damaging to have too heavy load of "due
diligence" thrust upon us. Thus, the interest
which our government had led it to modify its
demands for the payment of the just claims of
individuals. This being the case. Mr.. Reed
holds that the government is in honor bound
to such a distribution of the award as will take
into account the situation under which it
was obtained. The privilege Of distributing
this award, as it deemed most just, our Govern
msnt has always insisted on, for the reason that
there is no other way in which Justice can be
DONE This fact established, Mr.. Reed holds
that those who lost vessels by the exculpated
cruisers have the first claim to the balance of
tie award, and those who were compelled to
pay war insurance premiums have the second.
II the insurance companies have claims after
having received large profits from war prem
iums, they must wait until the first mentioned
claimants are paid.

IRISH AFFAIRS.

Bad Effect of the New Coercion Bill.
NEW YORK, May 49, The Tribune's Lon
don despatch says that in ireland tho new CO.
ercion bill has alienated the sympathies of the
people, and there is no longer that readiness
to give assistance and information to the au-
thorities in their search for the assassns that
was manifested at first Earl and Countess
Spencer attended divine service at the Chapel
Royal, Dublin, Sunday. They were escorted
thither by detachment of dragons, and were
cordially received by the public. References
were made to the tragedy in most OF the chap
els and churches in Dublin.
A number of Spiritualists in England have
been pestering the authorities with the results
of their divinations as to the hiding place of
the assassins, the names of the murderers, and
the number of the car. 1t is needless to say
that these suggestions meet with no attention.

A Pleasure Party OF Twelve Persons
Drowned at Pullman, Ill.
PULLMAN, May 15.-Sunday night a sailing
boat with eight persons on board capsized in
Lake Calumet, and all were drowned. The
boat was small craft used by Pullman people
for pleasure excursions, and had on board a
party consisting of Captain Bucklin, an old
sea captain, recently from Maine, two sons II
and II years old; John Smith, foreman in the
car department and four men whose names
have not been ascertained. They had gone
out merely for pleasure ride, although owing
to the rough water they were urged by friends
not to venture out. The capsizing of their
boat was witnessed by large number OF per-
sons on the shore, including the wife and
daughter of Captain Bucklin, and as soon as
possible three boats put out to save the victims
seen battling in the waves, but iJ was impossi-
BILE to do anything owing to the terrible condi.
tion OF the lake. All the persons are well
known in Pullman. The lake shore is being
dragged for their bodies. Those OF Smith and
one Of the Buckln boys have been recovered.
A dispatch from the Calumet Lake accident
says IL persons were in the boat and so far as
learned all were drowned. Why the party
ventured upon tho lake in the raging storm is
a mystery to every one.

every year in wages. will give you the re-
suit of Sundays drinking in one of those con-
Germs. We pay $4,000, ($50,0001 a week in
wages and employ between 7,0OOs Ossnd 5000
hands. We never commence work oD Monday
because the men do not rome in sufficient num-
bers to mako it worth our while to get up steam
to run the machinery. Now have calculated
very minutely, what the cost of that is to that
concern. 1T is q loss of G35, 900, ($175 ,000) a
year, equal to four per cent. on the cspital em-
ployed. 1 want to know how long the country
can stand such drain as that. We are COM

it."

TRAGEDY AT WILLIAMS
TOWN.


Probable Murder of a Moman by her
Insane Brother.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass, May 15.-Much ex.
element prevails at Williamstown over the
probably fatal clubbing of Mrs. Representa-
tive Belden, at her home last evening, by her
brother, James Noble. Noble has been affect
ed with periodical fits for some time, and two
days ago became violently insane. Two men
were employed to watch him, but last night,
while they were temporarily absent, he sprang
from his bed and rushed at his mother, threat
ening to kill her. The old lady ran out and
Noble jumping through the window ran into
the yard, where were seated Mrs Belden and
her boy. Noble picked up large club land
rushed for the boy. Mrs. Belden seized the
boy and her arms were around him when
Noble reached them, and he struck Mrs. Bel
den on the back Of the head several times with
club, telling her to the ground. She was
picked up and borne into the house. Noble ran
into the street shouting that he had killed his
sister, but was finally secured and brought to
the house by four men, and he will be taken
to the Northampton Asylum to-day. The opin-
ion Of physicians is against Mrs. Belden's re-
covery. She passed very bad night and this
morning was worse. She is the daughter Of
Robert Noble, prominent and wealthy farm
er and has three children.

REMARKABLE EXTRADITION
CASE.

A Prisoner En- Route for Ohio Seized and
Held in Pennsylvania-An Important
Legal Point Involved.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 15.-On May 10 Gov
ernor Foster made a requisition upon the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for the
District of Columbia for the extradition of
Benjamin F. Pritchard, charged with forgery,
he being claim agent at Washington. Jo-
seph Moses, deputy sheriff of Hamilton coun-
ty, got Pritchard at Washington. While re-
turning through Pennsylvania, at Altoona,
Moses was met with writ of habeas corpus,
parties having telegraphed ahead, and another
officer took the prisoner from him and placed
him in Jail. On account of resistance Moses
was also arrested, but released on his own re-
cognizance, and Pritchard's habeas corpus
case set for Wednesday. Moses says the Penn
sylvania judges and attorneys claim that a fu-
gitive could not be taken through their State
without warrant from their Governor. On
Moses arrival here Governor Foster decided
that he could not legally make such a requisi-
ton, because is fugitive in Pennsylvania,
and commissioned Moses to return to Altoona.
Meanwhile Governor Hoyt of Pennsylvania
and President Roberts of the railroad company
were notified of what had been done and that
an agent of Ohio was awaiting the result.
These are the most remarkable extradition
proceedings ever heard here, and the outcome
will be awaited with interest.

AN ADVERSE DECISION.

The District Supreme Court Unanimous
in Overruling the Guiteau Exceptions.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-It is to-day learned
authoritatively that decision upon the Gui-
teau exceptions will be rendered by the Dis
trict Supreme Court next Monday, and that it
will be an unanimous one There is no longer
any doubt but it will overrule all the excep-
tions, and, consequently, affirm the sentence
of the court below. It is understood that one
of the judges was inclined to attach much inn
portance to the question raised against the
competency of Mrs. Dummies testimony, and
that another member of the court found con-
siderable difficulty in coming to an agreement
with his colleagues on the question of jurisdic-
tion, but, while these two jndees may perhaps
take occasion to express opinions in some de-
gree dissenting from their colleagues process
ses of reasoning on these points, the decision
itself will, as above stated, be unanimous.
