VOTE AND THE BALANCE OF POWER.

With this in an organized state we can
measurable come up to the task of taking
care of ourselves. Unity Of purpose
must not impair or destroy freedom OF
thought. We must recognize the fact that
it is no more possible for all colored men to
think alike than for all white men. We
must allow the fullest of freedom both in
thought and expression. Denouncing bull
doing ourselves we must not practice it.
We have no ements of strelS5h that we
car afford to despise or throw away. The
crucial test of my friedship for an individ-
ual is not that he is exactly Of my political
faith and opinion, but that be is with me
in the exaItation Of that correct sentiment,
and those ennobling principles, out OF
which arise those influences that environ
man with the best and frcest condition.

Drowning of John EcItsCarx.

Saturday morning at about o'clock
John Schwarz was carried over the
dam below Main street bridge and
drowned, his body being recovered short.
ly afterwards by J. Eifler This sad af-
fair is shrouded in mystery and whether
to regard it as case of deliberate suicide
or accidental drowning it is difficult to
determine. He was first discovered in the
water by W. Weaver who saw him from
the rear of Kennedy's livery barn swim
ming with quiet, steady stroke past the
barn about IL feet from shore, partly un-
dressed and apparently enjoying himself,
as no cry of alarm escaped from him.
Griffith Williams and P. Hein1ichs next
saw him in the middle of the stream,
throwing up bis hands and shouting for
help, the swift current now taking the
unfortunate imam rapidly towards the
dam over which he was soon carried,
those who saw him in danger finding it
utterly impossible to save him or render
him the least assistance. How he got
into the river or with what purpose in
view cannot be ascertained and there
was no evidence produced at the coro-
ner's jury, impaneled sby. Justice Stacy,
that threw any light on this part of the
case. A verdict was accordingly ren>
dered of accidental drowning" Tt
must be conceded that deceased could not
have been in his right mind if he volun-
tarily went into the river for a bath at
this time of year when the water is too
cold for enjoyment or comfort. 1t may
be, however, that he fell in by accident
but the Weaver testimony would be OPP
posed to this theory, as when seen by
him Schwarz could have easily swan to
shore and saved himself The case prob
ably will never be clearly solved.

Fatal RniEsUav Accident.

At 2 o'clock Monday morning a young
man named VIM. Haughawout. under
the influence of liquor, in attempting to
board the east bound passenger train
while in motion at 1.-The yard of the St.
Paul company. slipped and fell under the
wheels. resulting in one leg being cut
clean off and the other horribly crushed.
The unfortunate man was carried to the
Pioneer engine house and made as COM
Portable as the circumstances would per-
NIT, receiving medical attention from DR.
F. G. Moulding and Dr.. James Cody.
He fingered until II o'clock in the fore
noon when he died. Houghawout gave
his age as ~ years and said bis home was
at Mecosta, Michigan, where his parents
now reside. He was stone-mason by
trade and had worked recently for M.
Tuttle, contractor, at Oconomowoc.
With companion named Fox he was
around drinking Sunday and it is the
supposition that he was endeavoring to
steal ride back to Oconomowoc when
the fatal accident befell him.
The verdict of the coroner's inquest
before Justice Halliger yesterday was
that the deceased came to his death by
his own misfortune end no blame or re-
sponsibility could be attached to the
railroad company.
