STEAMER BURNED.
A Large Number Reported Lost.

SAN Francisco, May 3.-lntelli-
gencs of the burning off the steamer
Grappler is received. The catrastro-
phe occurred few miles of Seymour
Narrows.
There were on board about 100 pas
sengers, principally Cinnamon. When
it became known that the boat was on
fire, the Cinnamon became perfectly
wild and so interfered with efforts to
quench the flames that the fire in
creased rapidly.
The captain directed that all who
did not obey orders should be shot
Finally number of Cinnamon were
knocked down, others placed in irons,
and all run into the hold.
The boat was headed towards shore
and beached. Boats were lowered but
the crazed Cinnamon rushed into and
overturned them. In the smoke and
darkness, nothing could be done to
save them and large number were
drowned.

Consolidated Encampment.
columbus Dispatch

lSoiuihouS bAoPoeNu'l
The announcement has appeared in
print from some source that the First
Regiment, Ohio National Guard, will
60 into camp at Dayton July 9 for one
week. In view of the talk about a
a general encampment. this announce
ment has led to the conclusion that all
the Ohio troops have either determined
to encamp at Dayton or that the con-
solidated encampment scheme has been
abandoned.
Adjutant General Smith was ap-
preached on the subject to-day, and
stated that the announcement of the
camping place of the First regiment
was premature, as the selection must
be submitted to the Governor as Com
mander-in-Chlef, for approval, before
the matter is settled. General Smith
stated that the matter of a consolida.
ted encampment will be discussed and
action taken, at the meeting of Ohio
National Guard Commanders, in the
Capitol next Friday, at two o'clock
in the afternoon, which meeting
has been called for the especial purpose
of deciding the matter. There is, said
General Smith, considerable opposition
to a general encampment and the
proposition will be vigorously opposed.
With this end in view, some of the
regimental commanders are pushing
the selection of camping ground in ad-
vance, so as to place as large an obsta-
Gle as possible in the way Of consoli-
dation.
The opposition is believed to arise
from the fact that a general encamp-
ment would reduce the business nearer
to the actual experience of military
life, and would deprive some of the
organizations from going to fashiona-
BILE watering places and having gen
eral good time. On the other hand,
the boys feel that, insomuch as the
State can call them into active service
at any time, and they are occasionally
required to do substantial service for
the commonwealth, they are entitled
to whatever enjoyment they can
sqeeze out of the annual emcampment
which the law requires.

Some Democrats are fearful that if the
Democratic party takes decided position
for revenue reform, defeat will ensure.
This question was met in 1914 and the
Democracy triumphed, securing the
President and both branches of Congress.
The friends Of right and justice must
grapple with wrong, even If that wrong
is the recipient of illgotten wealth and
power.
1t is not expected that the party in
power will be ousted without a struggle.
Their leaders have used the government
for their own aggrandizement and to
confer immense benefits upon their mon
opoly friends. All these will join the
hue and cry that the country is to be
ruined, when the only danger is that
their monopoly fayors will be somewhat
lessened. The friends of constitutional
justice must stand firm and maintain the
right.-Akron Dem.

Salaries Of POstmasters.

The new law for adjustment of the sal.
aries of the Postmasters, taken in con.
nection with the forthcoming reduc tion
CT letter postage from three to two cents.
will affect a material change in the pay
OF Postmasters in all small offices, as we'll
as in the amount of revenue derived from
such offices by the Government. In post.
Offices where the annual revenue from
stamps amounts to $50, the Postmaster
now receives $50, and the Government
$40, aud under the new law for a like
amount of business. the Postmaster will
receive $40 and the Government nothing.
and similar proportionate changes will
be made in the receipts of the Govern
ment and Postmasters according to the
amount of business done, until the of.
fees are reached which have gross rev.
enue from stamps of $3.50 per annum.
In this class offices the Postmaster re-
Ceives $3.50 per annum. and the Govern
ment 500, and under the new lawthe
former will receive 5000 and the latter
nothing, In Offices where the revenue
exceeds that of the class last mentioned.
the Government begins to derive rev.
enue, and. for instance, in postoffice
where the income for the sale of stamps
amounts to $400 year, the. Postmaster
now receives $240, and the Government
$3.50. Under the new law the Postmaster
will get $72, and the Government $4S. In
a postoffice with an annual revenue 5000,
the Postmaster is now paid $40 and the
Government receives $500. Under the
law the Postmaster will receive 1868 and
the Government $112. An Office with an
annual revenue Of $500, under the pres.
ent law, pays the Postmaster $440 and
the Government $500. Under the new law
the Office will pay the Postmaster $3.50
and the Government $3.50. In postoffices
where the annual revenue reaches $1,000,
the pay of the Postmaster under present
and new law is the same, $840, but under
the present law the Government receives
$3.50, while under the new law 1t will get
only 5000. In Offices which have an an
nual income of 81 200, the new law will
reduce pay of Postmasters from $64O to
$500, and the receipts of Che Government
from $3.50 to $340, and in Offices with an
annual income Of 81 1,600, the pay of Post.
masters will be reduced from $500 to
to $3.50, and the receipts Of the Govern.
ment from $500 to $400. In offices where
the pay of Postmasters derived from the
eale OF stamps reaches $500, the income
from the rent OF boxes Is usually enough
to make the compensation of the Post.

1t is generally understood that there
was some little controversy as to the
time and place OF holding the Democrat
ic state convention. Where the conven.
ton shall be held is matter Of no vital
Importance. Speaking Of the squabble
in the oontral committee the Cincinnati
Neus correctly says: THE time and
place were wisely selected, and with
equal wisdom the construction of the
party platform was left to the conven-
tion. The records upon which each party
must go before the people are made up,
and upon its record the Democracy Of
Ohio can well afford to ostand. 1t has on
ly to relegate the fools to the rear, throw
the traitors overheard, and sail straight
into the fight upon the lines laid down
by our representatives in congress and
the legislature to achieve glorious vic
tory on the 9th day of next October"

The Ohio Democracy.

IuuflcFl
Political interest during the next
few months xill center in the Ohio
contest, which is soon 70 be opened by
the nominating coneeniions of the
two leading parties, An active can
vass is already going on for places on
the Democratic State ticket, while the
leading position on the Republican
ticket seems to 60 begging. The im-
portance of the next October election
in Ohio is universally admitted. The
Republicans perceive that they will
have no chance of carrying the next
national election in case they should
lose Ohio, and the Democrats, though
by no means sanguine- as to the out
come of the contest, are aware that a
victory in Ohio would. greatly
strengthen them throughout the coun-
try.
1t will hardly be disputed that the
Ohio Democfats at present are politi-
cally stronger than they have been in
many years Voters who formerly
acted with the Republicans have joined
the Democratic ranks evidently with
the intention to stay, The Republi
cans are badly demoralised and have
not yet found Conspicuous and pop
ular man who could be induced to &C.
cept their @gubernatorTal nomination
which was once regarded as a great
and most desirable political prize.
Attempts to forestall the action oi
the next national convention or to in
troduce in the State canvass national
issues upon which the party is not uni.
ted are not likely to be made. The
list of candidates for the gubernatorial
nomination is a formidable one. Thus
far Judge George W. Hoadley seems
to lead his. competitors.
While the State election will settle
the question whether the Democracy
will have any chance of securing the
electoral vote of Ohio next year the
most important position Immediately
at stake is the Senatorship. 1t is pos
sible that one party may carry the
State at large and the other party Sc.
cure majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature. When Judge Thurman
was defeated as the Democratic candi-
date for the governorship he secured
a seat in the United States Senate by
the votes CT a Democratic Legislature.
II success in both contests should bt
won by the same party it would o1
course be regarded as a decisive vic.
tory. Should the Democrats secure
so sweeping d triumph Ohio would be
regarded as really doubtful in the pres.
idential contest. But if the Republi.
cans succeed the State will be recog.
nlzed as assuredly Republican, who
ever the Republican candidate fol
President may be. 1t can not bt
doubted that the Republicans will
make desperate efforts to maintain
their ascendancy, but the Democrats
feel a confidence never shown before
that they can wrest the State from
their opponents and win a victory
that will not fail to make its effects
felt In the approaching presidential
struggle.

A Test Ease,

a suit is pending in New York 10y
citizens against the Brush electric light
company, to recover damages for the
setting Of its poles on their sidewalks,
Mr.. Eyarts appears for the company and
Judge Ingraham hears the case so that
the question at issue is likely to receive
| full consideration and an intelligent de
cison. The Brush company defend on
the ground that they hold the permission
of the city councils to erect their poles.
The other side contend that the poles
and wires are nuisance, unsightly in
appearance and dangerous to life, and
that it is not within the power of
the city authorities to authorize
their erection against the will Of
the property owners. They propose
TO prove that aerial electric wires are
unnecessary, since they can be carried
underground. They have proved that
the underground system is successful in
London. They have also proved that
the aerial wires are dangerous to touch
when charged with electric current.
mo one who knew anythingof it, said
the expert witness would dare 10 han
die the wires while the current was in
operation" Daily we read in the news
of accidents caused by the contact OF
man and beast with electric wires in the
streets. During fires they are particu.
larry to be dreaded, since the tiremen
can hardly avoid them ; communication
is made with the current even through
the water streams falling on the wires,
AL change Is not improvement and
this may be said with particular force of
the present state OF our effort to utilize
electricity for light. Some day we may
know enough to secure the desired
illumination without the dangers and
Inconvenience that now attend it, and
make 1t very undesirable thing to un.
dertake to handle.
