CHICAGO, March 15.-what was at first
supposed to be case OF suicide, but may
turn out to be murder, was discovered at
No. 227 Maxwell street al an early hour this
morning. The house has been occupied by
Joseph Smith and his wife with whom H. A.
Highl, a man 69 years of age, has
been boarding. HIGH was not seen
yesterday and on his room being
visited, shortly after midnight, his body
was found hanging from hook fastened In
the ceiling. He had evidently been dead
several hours when found. The fact that
his legs and arms were securely pinloned
aroused the suspicious OF the police, and II
was decided to arrest Mr.. and Mrs. Smith.
They were accordingly taken into custody
and locked up. The police say 1t was i'm
possible for the man to have committed sui
eide, bound as he was. II is asserted by
some Of his friends that the Smiths owed
him a large amount of borrowed money
The police have concluded that he took his
own life.

POLITICAL.

The Democrats OF Rhode Island held their
state convention Monday and nominated
Amasa Sprague, brother of Ex-Governor
Sprague, for governor. He was for years at
the head Of the once powerful financial,
social and political house of An w. Sprague.
The Spragues once ruled the state and when
William was elected the Republican Cover

shadow over the state. 1t Is a matter, how
ever, of favorable comment that
although stripped Of their millions the
people are apparently at theft back
to-day md II was only three years
ago that William sprague was the
nominee OF the Democratic party for gov

could do to elect their candidate. The othel
nominations made are: Lieutenant-Goy

State, franklin F. Owen Attorney General
Edwin Metcalf; State Treasurer, John G.

PRESS OPINIONS.


Senator Wilson's contribution to the dis
cussion over papers relating to suspension
yesterday was In one sense valuable. 1t
was intolerably dull, pointless, and weari-
some, and 1t will doubtless help to sherten
the Improbable debate into which Mr.. Ed
munds' jealous guardianship Of the Senate's
prerogatives in respectto spoils has involved
that dignifled body. AS q fitting sequel to
Mr.. Wilson'sspeech, the Senate, In executive
session, confirmed the appointment Of
Richard s. Dement, to be encouragement
OF Utah. Senator Blair described Mr.. De-
ment us monumental ass, and the de-
scription is singularly truthful and accu-
rate, as everybody knows who is familiar

pointed to this office. John A. Logan,
however, confessed to being under personal
obligations to this monumental ass and the
Senate, with Its customary courtesy and
hypocrisy, confirmed his nomination. The
United States Senate has seldom sunk to SO
low place In the estimation Of the
American peopleas that which II now holds.
