A RAILROAD WRECK.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 21-Specials
from Canton, O., received late last
night, says at a point on the Valley
railroad, two miles east of here, was
tonight the scene of a terrible wreck,
in which one thousand eXcurSioniStS
from this city miracuouSly escaped
only with injuries so far as
known. The employees of the Ault-
annual picnic to-day at Cuyahoga
cursion, made up of two trains of tif-
rived at Canton at 7:20 p. M, and
sisters were at the station for friends
and relatives on the second section,
hatleSS messenger came running
down the track crying out that
the train had been wrecked and
many were killed ard injured. The
scene that followed was of the widest
description, and W len the wreck was
reached the men. women and chill
dren around wrlnging their hands
and looking for their loved ones. Nine
cars were off the track and in water
four feet deep. The cries of the in
| jured We're heart-rending. Hundreds
of willing hands Immediately set to
work, and soon found that not more
than twenty five were injured, but it
was impossible to say how many or
who were killed. About dozen or
more are missing, and may be
under the cars, and nothing definite
can lie known until the wrecking
train arrives, which is now on the
way to the scene. A telegraph office
has been opened at the scene, and eve
rything is being done to alleviate the
sufferings of the injured. The list so
far as can be learned is as follows:
Mary Schlums, KY, aged 10, feet
crushed and leg broken.
Albert Travel, aged IS, arm broken,
chest crushed, and back injured.
Ella human, aged Is, leg broken,
and internal injuries.
Mrs. A. Grove Miller, severe inter-
nal injuries.
J Mrs. Walker, mostly internal inju-
rieS.
Agnes Lippert, foot crushed.
Lena Hubecker, internal injuries.
w. Gloss, spine injured.
Julius Hubecker and wife, both sus-
tanned internal injuries.
Irvene Shamfelt, head cut.
Chas. Hickman, head cut.
Mrs. Joseph Dick, internal injuries.
Harry Tiffe, aged IL, head cut and
badly crushed.
The engineer says the wreck was
caused by the track spreading.

give the people chance to say who |
outside of the charmed circle they |
prefer TO lead the hosts of faithful
democrats against Wash Jones, or
any other man who will contest with
the democracy the prize of the state
administration. Unless this is done,
unless the Houston convention dis
turbs the ireland " fix up" which now
prevails, there. is danger, great
danger that Wash Jones or
some other popular leader of
the republican and independent
parties will be governor next term.
Aside from the voting strength of the
opposition they will poll much
larger number of democratic votes
than any one now supposes, There
are thousands upon thousands of DEM
ocrats who will not support Ireland
no matter if his nomination at Hous-
ton is unanimous. Remember that
we did not create this condition, but it
would be most unwise to ignore or
deny it. There is imminent danger
that the scepter of power will pass
away from the hands of the demo-
cracy in Texas, if the present policy is
continued. All good democrats
should be willing to sacrifice to pre-
vent it. When democracy becomes
but the stepping stone for vaulting
ambition it deserves defeat. Whenever
it lays aside its principles to further
the personal fortunes of any sin
gle man it will win defeat beyond
peradventure.
/ Here in the city of Austin, over at
Seguin, at San Antonio, and all over
south and southwest Texas, there are
many men, pronounced and devoted
democrats who, while they will not
and do not work openly tor the defeat
of the governor at Houston, will yet,
when the time comes, lend their silent
though powerful influence to admin
lister fitting rebuke to the preten-
sions of the sage of Seguin. Take
Waco and McLennan county, there
will be found large majority
of the rank and file of the
party bitterly opposed to the future
elevation of Ireland. Influences,
and powerful ones at that, have here
tofore operated to keep them quiet.
They have been choked off. Now the
clamp has been removed and a tull
exposure reveals the deep-seated,
strong and determined battered of the
narrow policy of the narrow figure
head of a narrow combination. Men
refuse longer to be made the plant
and willing tools of as selfish and as
ruthless combination as ever direct
ed the public policy of state for the
private purposes of ring.
In all the great centers of popula-
ton in Texas, there are many men
who have always voted and worked
for democracy, who openly declare
that they will now vote for the opposi-
ton candidate just to administer fit
ting rebuke to the arrogance of thering
which forces upon the state and the
party distasteful man, and with such
show of force that it would stand to
a stranger as the visible evidences of
a vast personal popularity, whereas
there is not in all Texas more unpop.
ular man personally than the present
chief executive of the state.
This seeming vast personal popula-
rity is nothing save the close organi-
zation of the strikers and claquers of
the governor. They are skillful and
they have done and are still doing
skillful work, ahd they get, and are to
get still in the future, a reward COM
meDsurate with the service rendered.

terest and value to American manu-

A large number of request for i'll

The Popularity of Ireland.

One of the reasons assigned by his
thick and thin supporters why John
Ireland should be renominated, is the
false claim that he is personally very
popular at home and in southwest
Texas. Let us see. In 1874, when
Coke was running for governor, Ire
land was an aspirant for the state
senate, in the district comprised of
the counties of Caldwell, Gonzales,
Gaudaloupe and Hayes, with jack
man, Storey and w. B. Savers as
candidates for the lower house. The
ticket for the legislature ran even
with the state ticket, winning a
majority in the district of fifteen
hundred votes, while Ireland
beat Daugherty-a poor stick-only
eight-hundred votes. Again in the
foolish greenback race against the
lamented Schleicher he was beaten
thirty-fve-hundred votes. In his race
for governor he beat Wash Jones in
Hayes county only two-hundred and
fifty votes, and the usual democratic
majority is eleven-hundred and fifty.
In Caldwell county the democracy
has six-hundred majority usually,
against Irelandand in favor of Jones,
it gave one-hundred and fifty majorit y
In Gonzales where the democrats have
about two-thousaud it was about
stand off. Jones barely carrying
the county. In Bastrop- and Fay
cite Jones was the only man
in the race, Ireland was
not known. So much for
the loudly Wanted popularity of Ire
land at home. among his old friends
and neighbors. What a commentary!
And yet great as was his lacking in
his own baiIiwick then, it is far worse
now. A brilliant and successful ad-
of the gubernatorial Of
fee might have overcome in a meas
ure this great personal unpopularity
but with the record of failure, great
and humiliating as it unquestionably
is, the unpopularity has vastly in
Ct oased.
Indeed the danger is that if he
IS confronted by Jones, if he gets the
Houston nomination, Ireland will be
beaten in the southwest, if not in the
entire state. We are pointing out |
,hese matters for the sole purpose of |
the party from the odium of |
lefeat which will come to it by and |
through the narrow policy of the
eaders, who would apply the two-terms
'ule to man who is not success and
whose one term has worked injury
nough, without having another in
which to complete the job.

To Thine Own Self be True.

By thine own souls law learn to live,
And if men hate thee have no care;
Sing thou thy song and do thy deed,
Hope thou thy hope and pray thy prayer,
And claim no crown they will not give,
Nor bays they grudge thee for thy hair.
Keep thou thy soul-sworn steadfast oath,
And to thy heart be true thy heart;
What thy soul teaches learn to know,
And pley Ou5 thine appointed part;
And thou shalt reap as thou shalt sow,
Nor helped nor hindered in thy growth,
To thy full stature thou shalt grow.
Fix on the futures goal thy face,
And let thy feet be lured to stray
Now hither, but be swift to run,
Ana nowhere tarry by the way,
Until at last the end is won,
And thou may'st look back from thy place
And see thy long days journey done.
