EDMUMDS.

A great deal has been said about
Senator Edmund's opinion of Mr..
Blaine, as to what he has written
about him, but we have nowhere seen
any denial that the position of Sena-
tor Edmun6s in the present cam
paign is in brief just this: 81 intend
to vote the republican ticket" Sena-
tor Edmunds has put himself on rec
ord that he believes the republican
party represents the best intelligence
and honesty of the country, that its
principles and policy are the highest
and safest for its honor and welfare,
and that neither in sincerity nor abil-
lty is the democratic party fit to be
trusted with the administration of the
government. 1t is undoubtedly true
that Mr.. Blaine was not the choice
of the Vermont senator for president,
and that he has done very little, out
side of contributing to the republican
campaign fund, to push along the
canvass. He has been very busy
during the recess of congress on al
important law suit. Mr.. Edmunds
is not in the habit of stumping thu
country in the interest of any candi
date, although he has been induced
to make few speeches in forme
campaigns. When congress assem-
bles, Mr.. Edmunds will be found a
his post, cycling the jobs of schemin!

cratic or republican, in the interest

lions Herald remarks: The ques-
ton of the relation of openly an
nounced immoralities in candidate
for the highest office to the public
morals of the nation became one of
urgent discussion. 1t has been a
hopeful sign of the general whole
someness and purity of the public
mind, that only a few persons and
prints of any note have intlmated
that the question was trivial one,
or that lack of chastity. or probity,
or personal honor, was of small mo-
ment in a President, if in other re-
spects, he was esteemed equal to the
high position.

Joseph Bray of Burlington was the vic
tim Monday of a shocking, and probably
fatal, accident. He had just begun work
in the afternoon in the Shepard & Morse
lumber yard and got under truck to
loosen chain when the truck tipped upon
him, doubling him up and breaking his
spine. The physicians say that he prob
ably cannot recover.

Early Sunday morning an attempt was
made ten miles west of Empora, Kansas,
to rob the Santa Fe passenger train. The
robbers unspiked two rails to ditch the
train, but the train had such high speed
that it passed over safely. When the
robbers saw that they had failed, they fir
ed a volley after the flying train, the bull
lets striking the cars in several places.
No one was hurt. A freight train follow
ing was wrecked, the fireman killed and
the engineer seriously injured.

Robinson on Duty Again-NegrOes at
the Bottom of His Fright.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Wm. Simpson,
Post Office Inspector, telegraphed from
Bamberg, S. c., to-day that the post office
there was open, and that he would report
the cause Of the trouble in that place by
mail. The Postmaster of Bamberg, L. G.
Robinson, telegraphed yesterday that his
life had been threatened, and that he had
closed the office.
A correspondent who investigated the
midnight attack on Postmaster Robinson,
of Bamberg, reports that Robinson is at
his post again. He also saws that no
complaint had been made against Robin
son by the people, and that his general
reputation was good. 1t has been estab-
lished that the attack upon him was not
made on account of his politics, or of the
position held by him, and Post Office
Inspector Simpson, who is on the
spot, IS satisfied of this, and has as
sured Robinson that the people of
Bamberg will protect him if mOlested. 1t
is noteworthy fact that at about the
time Robinson was warned to leave Bam-
berg and resign a colored excursion party
reached Bamberg by train bearing with
them an ettigy of Robinson, which they
cutfed and cut with knives and afterward
hanged. The white people of the county
are indignant over the attack on Robin
son, and will see that the offenders are
punished If they can be defeated

An Exhibit of Her Manufactures Pro-

NEW YORK, Aug. IA gentleman, re-
Gently returned from Europe, says; 'The
project of an exhibition of American pro-
ducts, arts and manufactures in London
two years hence is received with great
favor in England, and if the exhibition is
creditable one it will do more to extend
American markets and commerce than
could be done in any other way, because
1t will show the people at a glance what
Americans have and what they make.''
About the success of the project the gen.
tleman says that it will depend on how
American manufacturers respond with
exhibits. II the exhibit is good the at
tendance will be very large. London has
population so great and the curiosity
and interest felt in anything American is
so great that such an affair would be cer-
tain 20 draw a large patronage. The pro-
ject is in the hands of men of means who
are determined to make a success of it.

OF ''Training and Breaking" were being
published in the Forest and Stream. Fol
lowing out the instructions embodied in
the articles Mr.. Collins has by patient work
so far perfected his dog in tricks that the
animal seems to be endowed with human
Intelligence. AT the word of command
Fritz will leap over his owners arm

three legs, hunt tor fleas in a handker-
chief, kiss his owners hand, remove his
hat, put his two forward paws in the seat
OF a chair and pretend to pray, get INTO

and clubs, and the jack, queen and ace

"a pointer or a setter is the hardest
dog to train," said Mr.. Collins to a Postre-
porter this morning, ''for the reason that
they are so high bred. A mongreI can be

You have issued a challenge, have you
not, Mr.. Collins, to match your dog
against any trick dog in the country?"

A rumor was current at the opening of
business that absent Cashier Dickinson
had been arrested, but it proved to be un-
founded. 1t is now asserted on good au-
thOrity that Dickinson had been using
the bank funds for private ventures in
grain and stocks. His margins, however,
were small. He aYerted suspicion or
comment by putting small sums to his
credit in larger number of offices. 1t is
thought that his latest purchases when
closed out will show a profit as the market
advanced after they were made.
