DEMOCRATIC BITTERNESS
Savage Criticism of the Administrations

the administration, and he replied
There is nothing to think about. They have
done nothing, so far; have developed new
policy, either foreign or domestic"
ITO what do you attribute this plentiful lack

1.-THE fact is that the men at the head Of the
government are not wide enough between the
eyes; they have no vision The job they have
undertaken is too big for them. To use very
expressive Westernism. they have bit Oft more

Immediately an attempt was made to force him

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
Gladstone's Voice So Impaired that Public
Speaking Is Not Possible.

LONDON Aug. 2l.-The physician who at
tended Mr. Gladstone says that his complaint is
of chronic nature, not susceptible to any
radical cure, and that he can never recover his
oratorical powers His voice may be readily
restored for purposes of conversation, so that he
will not tire in a few minutes, ana be obliged to
talk in whispers, as was the case before he
starred on his yachting trip to Norway; but
however confident Mr.. Gladstone may feel in
regard to his vocal power, the physician says
that a single electoral speech would so overtax
his strength that it would deprive him entirely
of the use of his voice for a month afterward.

The Importance with which the threatened
Wabash strike is regarded here is shown by

yesterday and had long conference in relation
to the Wabash troubles. This morning Mr..

several directors of that corporation, held a
meeting in the Western Union building which

Mr.. John Swim on said to-day that while he
regarded the present difficulty as not so
important as the Wabash lockout, he was by 10
means sure that it would not assume the
greatest proportions and extend to the railways
in the East in which Mr. Gould is more or less
interested. He added that the trouble was not
one of recent growth, but of steady development,
and had originated more than half year ago.
How the difficulties would eliminate he could
not say. The matter entirely Iii the charge
of the Knights of Labor, who were absolutely
competent to protect themselves, and were
determined to do so.
Mr. Morosri was seen at Mr. Washington f.
Connor's Office. He said I'VE believe there is
no reason to expect any extended trouble. There
are but few men on strike, and those that are
out are only the laborers. 1t is just as though

their tools and quit work 1t is about that

any way except by wreckng trains and in doing
that they apt to get themselves in trouble.

ALMOST A COLLISION.
Russian and Afghan Outposts in Uncomfort-
able Proximity.


LONDON, Aug. 2l.-A dispatch sent to-day
from Meshed, Persia near the Afghan frontier,
to the Times, states that collision between the
Russian and Afghan posts nearly occurred on
the 18th inst, at Karatepe eighteen miles from
Chamani-Bad. Some Russian troops, the dis
patch says, approached Karatepe, and the At
CHAN troops there stood to their arms A Rus
sian officer, when he saw this, ordered his troop
ers to unsling their carbines, and he
was shot and severely wounded by
the accidental discharge of one of these
weapons. Before the exact nature of the accident
was ascertalned there was considerable excite
ment and confusion, which, however. subsidized as
soon as the truth was made known. The Afghans
then detained the Russians until they received
an order from Herat to let them 60. During the
detention the Afghaus treated the wounded
Russian officer with great kindness, bandaged
his wound, and sent him back to the Russian
lines.
A hurried investigation of the occurrence was
made on both sides The Russian commander
exonerated the Afghans and promised that the
troops should not again advance beyond Cha
mani-Bad. Four English officers continue to
superntend the work of repairing and strength
ening the forts of Herat.

THAT MYSTERIOUS LETTER.


Judge Dawne Said To BE the Appointee of
Whom the President Wrote.
Washington Special.
In a letter dated Aug l. 1888, President Cieve-
land is reported to have said regarding the
appointment of Territorial judge Your
confession comes too late to be Of Immediate use
to the public service"
OF the seven appontees to judicial positions
since the Senate adjourned, that of Edward j.
Dawne, of Oregon, to be judge of the Territorial
district of Alaska is generally supposed to be the
one who 'is not qualified morally or profession
ally" The records at the State Department
show that Mr.. Dawne was appointed United
States Judge for Alaska on July u. 1885. His
commission was dated and countersigned that
day by the Secretary Of State. Nosooner had the
President made the appointment than kilograms
were received from Portland and Salem, Ore to
the effect that the appointment of Mr. Dawne il
correctly reported, was great surprise to the
Democrats Of that State. The kilograms were
more IN the way OF inquiry, the impression being
that the press dispatches had perhaps confused
the names. But before these kilograms were
received the President was committed by his
executive act to the appointment Of Mr. Dawne.
The records of the Executive Mansion, Depart
ment of Justice and State Department could not
he defaced. All showed the appointment OF Mr..
Dawne, and the issue of the commission TO HIM.

delegates to the Democratic State convention,
in which an editor of Democratic organ there
is a candidate for one Of the delegate posts and
is bitterly opposed by the Randall men, which
settles the question of there being a fight in
progress. This editor was a delegate to the
Chicago convention and left Randall at certain
moment, it is said, and threw his vote for
Cleveland Hence the opposition to him The
Randall men are after him with blood in their
eyes, and it looks now as though they would
get him.
The contest also discloses another thing. The
editor seems to have at his back all the admin
istration men in Franklin county If he really
has this backing, then the administration must
have decided to support him undisguisedly and
without caring what course Randall may
take in the future. This would look
