LoNDoH, October 3.-The Tines, IN its
editorial columns, sees slight hope for
the success of Young's mediation in
Chinese matters.
WASHINGTON, October Enquiry at
the department of State to-day, failed
Ia elicit either confirmation or denial
Of the dispatch TO the London Times
cabled TO America stating that United
States Minister John Russell Young
had arrived at Tien Tsin, and acting
under instructions from Washington,
had informed Ii Hung Chang that the
French government had requested the
mediation of the United States Govern
ment. 1t has been learned however,
that Mr.. Young recently visited the
American consulates in China and that
within a few days he has been at lien
Tsin. which is only about seventy
miles distant from Picking. While there
he had an audience with Ii HUG
Chang. but was not instructed TO con-
vev any request on the part OF France
for mediation Mr. Young, prior to tins
visit. had had several conferences with
the Viceroy to ascertain whether CHINA
was disposed to take any steps toward
settlement of the controversy with
France. His recent visit was for the
same purpose. Neither France nor
China however, mas made a request Tor
mediation. Both countries, 1t seems,
favor such a mode of settling their dis
pute. but neither is willing to take the
initiatOrY steps.

The Railroad Disaster.

ST. PAUL, October 3.-From local
officers of the Omaha road, and specials
to the Dispatch, the following additional
particulars of the railway accident near
bayfield, are learned: The train con-
sisted of three flats and had crew
of TWENTY-FIVE men, who were all riding
on the engine and tender. The engine
plunged into a washout; the boiler was
STAYED and the escaping steam added
to the horrors of the disaster. Every
man but one was killed or injured. Two,
Johnson and Mcconnell. were killed
outright and nine Others were badly
scalded. The wounded were removed
to Ashland where four men died before
morning. It is believed three more will
die from scalding Ten collins were
ordered from ST. Paul this morning
which indicates that the number of vic
Tins IS even greater.

son and Chas. Calendar The ticket is a strong
one, being headed by one of Greencastles best

A PROMINENT Democrat made a prediction
last week that the next president would be
elected by the House of Representatives. He
believes that General Butler will be run as an
independent candidate by some labor party,
and in the uncertain condition of things he
would get enough votes to throw the election
into the House.
GENERAL SHERMAN, in answer to a question
of the probability of his candidacy for the presi-
dency, and also to suggestion that he might be
the Democratic nominee, says: 81 don't like to
be abrupt, but must say that it is nonsense to
ask such a question. All my friends know |

nPERsoNALp POLITICS,

The personal attacks in which the 'organs"
are indulging pending the township election
are disgraceful, more so to the newspapers
which print them than to anybody else, but
disgraceful enough to anyone who thinks
votes are either made or lost by such undigni-
fed and untruthful methods of political war
fare. The time for this slum gullionery has
passed. and for one paper, the Journal utterly
refuses to engage in the belittling work. The
Journal knows that this style of campaigning
is beneath the Republican party; and as an ex
ponent of the best type of Republicanism. and
working earnestly for the success of true Re
publicanism and for the best possible local adj
ministration, we had rather an election went
by default if the voters have to be rallied to
ing charges and counter-charges, This style
of political warfare is one of the chief causes
why local government is as bad as it
is everywhere Politics is brutalized, so
that capable, honorable men will not permit
themselves to be made candidates for Office,
because of their dislike to subject themselves
to the pitiless storm of filth and detraction
sure to ensue if they come before the public
for Office The best sentiment of both parties
should be strongly arrayed against this brutal
ism. When it is stopped, when 'politics" is
raised to its proper level, and gentlemen can
engage in political life and pursuits without a
sacrifice of their dignity and character, there
will be a better state of public affairs, better
officers, better administration, a higher con-
ception of official responsibility, a sounder and
more salutary public sentiment
The journal desires to say that the charges
brought against Mr.. De Ruiter, affecting his
business conduct since his bankruptcy, have
not only been Proven baseless, but they have
given occasion for the publication of facts
which show him to have acted with eXcep-
tional integrity. 1t is unusual for man to
pay debts which he is not legally held for,
and against the collection of which he could
hold up the bar of discharge from bank
rupt court But this Mr.. De Ruiter has done,
paying his creditors not only the principal Of
their claims, but interest as well.
