THURMAN'S ACCEPTANCE.

He Does Not See the Awful Importance OF
Writing Letter About 1t.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. SIT seems probable
that Judge Thurman will issue no letter of
acceptance, owing to his speech of accept
ance to the notification committee and the
extended expression of his views in his
speeches during the campaign. He
has for /. long time had in mind
what he would say in case he
should write letter, but his time has
has been so fully occupied it has been i'm
possible for him 60 put it on paper. He
has had considerable business TO attend to
and all other time has been taken by his
callers, who keep coming steadily at all
hours This week the Judge has to some
extent shut che door on his callers TO
give time TO complete his preparation
Of the argument in the telephone case.
While he has not stated that he would not
write a letter of acceptance, Judge Thur
man has frequently remarked that he does
not see the necessity. The statement of
the early public publication of such let
ter has been made several times, but in no
case has he stated positively when it
would be, and the most of such statements
have been made by others. He will leave
for Washington Friday.

AN INSANE MOTHER.

Shocking Double Murder and Suicide By an
Insane Mother in Nebraska.
BEATRICE, Neb., Oct AT Blue Springs
Monday night Mrs. Lulu Poffenberger
killed her two children and herself. The
attention of neighbors was attracted by
the smell of powder and going into the
house the people found Mrs. Poffenberger
dead on her bedroom floor in her night
dress with a bullet wound in her breast
Her two children, aged four years and one
year, respectively, were found in bed with
their clothes on, carefully covered up as if
asleep. A cord tied tight around each
neck showed they had been strangled. In
q note left on a table the woman wrote
that she had done it herself. She felt her.
self going crazy and saw no bright future
for her children and would take them with
her. She said her husband had always
been kind to her. The woman was about
thirty years of age and highly respected,
and no cause other than temporary insan-
ity is at present assigned for the deed.
Her husband formerly kept a saloon and
was in Beatrice yesterday attending court.
He was first informed of the terrible af-
fair by q dispatch.

Is quite impossible to account for it except
on the theory Of deranged stomach action

New YORK, Oct. Jake Lane, of Brook

fought nine terrific rounds on the turf at
Bensonhurst, Long Island, this morning.
The fighting was fast and furious. and
very little science was displayed by either
combatant. In the eighth round Collins
broke his wrist by a sledge hammer blow
on Lanes head. Collins fought the ninth
round with the good hand, essaying to fin
ish the battle with rush. He did not
succeed. In the tenth round Collins was
unable to go in and the fight was awarded
to Lane.

The Portland & ogdensburg Lease.

The citizens of Portland will be called
upon tomorrow to vote on the question of
accepting the proposed lease of the Portland
& Ogdensburg to the Maine Central. 1t is
question in which every citizen of Portland
has an interest and therefore every citizen
should express his opinion upon it at the
polls.
The proposition is undoubtedly so clearly
understood that ii is unnecessary to state it
in detail at the present time. Substantially
the Maine Central railroad agrees to pay the
city $4,000 year for 500 years for the use
OF the Ogdensburg road and give the citizens
of Portland the same advantages from the
road that they are now getting. 1t is all the
offer either TO purchase or lease which the
0gdensburg has received, and there is no
reasonable prospect that in the event of its
rejection any other offer will come either
from the Maine Central or any other source.
The practical question then for the people of
Portland to settle is whether to let the Maine
central have the road OF keep itand continue
10 run IL as 1t has been run. A vote against
the lease means vote in favor of continuing
the present policy. Has the existing policy
yielded such results as to warrant its contin-
uance? 1t Is admitted that since the rooa
was completed it has never returned one
cent to its principal owners. the citizens Of
Portland. On the other hand it has failed 10
pay its fixed charges even, it has fallen into
bankruptcy, the second mortgage bondhold-
ers have had to take possession of the prop
erty, and cucumber it with mortgage of
over 100000 to put it in reasonably safe
condition for trade and traffic. But since the
second mortgage was wiped out it has re-
turned nothing to the stockholders, and its
earnings have hardly sufficed to pay its fixed
charges and keep the road bed in tolerable
condition. Its earnings too have shown no
tendency to increase, but on the contrary the
tendency has apparently been the other way.
Judging the future by the past there is there
fore no reasonable prospect that If the road
continues TO be run under its present condi-

The Commercial thinks now, as 1t thought
when 1t used the language referred to by the
treated as far as possible alike in revision of the
tarin and that the placing Of lumber on the free
list should go hand In hand with various other
open the Canadian market to our own manufac-
lures OF wood. We think. too, that If proper
equities in the case to the attention Of the WAYS
and Means Committee something might have been
accomplished in this direction. However, be-
cause the measure Of tariff revision which has
passed the House is not perfect in all respects we
are not obliged TO oppose 1t, or withhold from it
under which IT'S trainers labored, and believe that
the measure as L passed the House is for the
best Interests Of the country as whole and there
cial.
The above is the Bangor Commercials de-
fence aga INST the charge of inconsistency In
supporting the Mills bill which puts lumber
on the free list after its declaration that to
do so would be "gratu itous injustice to our
people," 1t is good one provided the Com
mercial regards the Mills bill as simply
step In the direction Of free trade, as the
Hon. William l.. Putnam, and the Hon.
Charles e. Allen regard it, or as an ''insid-
ious installmenp of attack upon the protec-
tive system as the Portland Argus styles it.
Then the inconsistency Of placing lumber on
the free list while a duty of over one hum
cred per cent. was kept on rice can be ex-
planned. 1t can be said and truthfully, that
to have treated both alike, would have jeop-
ardized the bill inasmuch as it would have
reused the hostility of Democratic represen-
tatives from the South; that it would have
prevented the taking of any step at all in the
direction of free trade The Arpus hit the
case exactly when 1t said that the only way
to get rid of the tariff was by 'insidious in
stallments." Considered as an "insidious in
stallment' the Mills bill is defensible, even
its inconsistencies. But the Commercial has
not been won't to so regard 1t. 1t has been
pleased to treat 1t as simply reconstruc-
tion of the protective system. Now in that
aracter it is utterly indefensible 1t works
the grossest kind of injustice. 1t is guilty of
favoring particular sections and particular
industries. 1t becomes series of "gratu-
tous iniustices" which nobody can defend.
Why does not our Bangor contemporary,
like its candidate for Governor, have the
courage Of its convictions and defend the
bill on the only ground that it can be de-
Tended, namely, that it is step in the
direction Of free trade. and as long step as
was possible under the circumstances? Why
does it stultify itself by attempting to defend
the bill as permanent measure of tariff re-
vision? Why does it hesitate to confess
what is the truth, that the Democratic party
is free trade party, and that its intention is
to place the tariff on free trade basis as
fast as practicable? Is it scared?
