The indianapolis Journal says {:
@'RUTHERFoRD b. HAYES did not OBJ
tain the electoral vote of the empire
state" 1t is true that HAYES did not
carry New York, but he did carry
South Carolina, Florida and louisiana
The point intended to be made by the
Journal is, that the republicans can
carry the country without New York
1t would be little more satisfactory
if the Journal would tell us what states
we can carry, rather than what we
cannot carry.

AMERICAN enterprise abroad only
needs fair chance "to get there"
Here is sample of what we can do if
let alone. A Mr.. CoBB, an American
citizen the story goes, wanted to put
up a Hour-mill in Morocco. Flour in
Morocco had always been ground by
hand, and the Sultan wouldn't let him
build mill to overturn this ancient
and honorable custom. He wrote to
the American consul, and got hack a
formal note saying that if the Sultan
wouldn't give him permission he
couldn't build the mill, aud that was
all there was about it. He took this
letter with the arms and seal of the
United States conspicuous upon it, to
the Morocco authorities, told them it
was an order for him to go ahead and
build his mill, and wanted to know
what they proposed to 10 about it.
They couldn't read the note, but they
saw the secl and arms, and said that
they supposed that rather than have
war they would let him go ahead, and
now even the Sultan's corn is ground
in that mill

Napoleon and Sheridan.

Just now the press is publishing
many very interesting things about
Gen. Sheridan, says correspondent
of the Washington Star. / now come
with q little matter which / do not
think Gen. Sheridan has any know
ledge OF. 1t was in October, 1864, af-
ter the battle OF Cedar Creek, in Vir-
ginia, in which Gen. Sheridan defeat
ed the last attempt of Gen. Early to
invade the north by way of the She n
andoah valley, that heard President
Lincoln, at the war department, in Mr..
Stanton's room, speaking to him OF
Gen. Sheridan and of his victories over
Gen. Early, state that of all our fight
ing generals Sheridan was more like
Napoleon than any Of them m ore like
him particularly in the forehead and
in the general mold of the bust. The
president said he though that Shenan-
doah valley would never be the high
way for another rebel advance into
Maryland.
The likeuing of Gen. Sheridan to
Napoleon in his personal appearance
about the head was followed by ex-
! ressions from the president that
Sheridan had effectually closed that
road TO the north. 1t was that famous
Sheridan's ride that saved Washington
from panic like that WHICH Early
produced in July 1864. Mr.. Stanton
had in his room on the, mantle little
book of about 500 pages, which con-
tained as frontispiece likeness of
Napoleon, and he took it, and turning
to the frontispiece. handed it to the
president, saying that there was re-
semblance about the forehead and
bust. Sometime prior to this
when our armies were being
slaughtered pieceneal in Virginia,
Mr.. Stanton had received letter
from some prominent person calling
his attention to saying of NapOleon's,
that one commander for an army was
better than two armies with independ-
ent commanders, when he told me to
get this book on Napoleon from his Ii
brary. They talked for some time
about Gen. Sheridan, who had several
days before this Cedar Greek battle
defeated Early, and ] heard Mr.. STAN
ton then say to the president that
Grant and Sheridan would end the
war very soon with such fighting. 1t
was after and in connection with this
saying of Napoleon that the president
10 reported as having said that one bad
general is better than two good ones.

JIM FISk'S MURDER,
THE CAsE-soME INTERESTING REvE-

JOSIE MANSFIELD NOT THE WOMAN IN
THE CAsE-soME INTERESTING REvE-
LATIoNs.
Ever since the recently, and falsely,
1umored death at Delanco, N. j., of
the notorious Josie Mansfield, the male
gossips of New York particularly those
who frequent the Hoffman House,
have been discussing anew the fea-
lures OF the tragedy of sixteen years
ago. OF course no two OF them agree
as to the inner history of the famous
case and strangely enough none of
them was right. Nor has the truth
about it been publicly told. Any re-
awkening of interest in the matter is
extremely repugnant to the quiet, un-
obtrusive and popular man, whose
keen business ability has made the
Hoffman House and its cafe the most
talked Of public resort in this coun-
try. But the recent discussion has
induced him to talk frankly on the
subject to Il few of his intimates. As
a consequence let me say, although
the declaration will be received with
incredulous surprise, that Josie
Mansfield was in no way re.
lated to the tragedy in the
Grand Central Hotel in January, 1872
For sixteen years she has been spoken
of as the woman in the contest for
whose favor Fisk fell AS matter of
fact, Fisk had long before his death
abandoned Josie Mansfield for Monta-
land, the ballet dancer, and subse-
quently for another woman, who lived
with her mother, brother and two sis
ters ut the Grand Central Hotel,
where the killing of Fisk took place.
The origin OF the fatal quarrel was
really in an oil refinery belonging to
Stokes mother and which Fisk was so
desirous of forcing into the then em-
bryotic Standard Oil combination that
he prosecuted and pursued Stokes
with hired, detectives of the Erie rail-
road until Stokes turned and shot him,
1t is true that Stokes and Josie Mans
field were close friends ut this time,
but she had ceased TO have any rela-
tions with Fisk.
And yet there was woman in the
case.
Let Inc tell the story.
sat in the Hoffman house restau-

Mt. Stokes sat at another table, and /
saw him and my friend exchange
glances and smile as she went by
the windows. Both evidently recog-

passed the middle age. Her hair was
tinged with gray. She was richly vet
not loudly dressed. She had once
been handsome woman, and she had

THE death OF SHERIDAN would leave
only SHERMAN OF all the chieftains
whose military successes have become
part of the worlds history. A few
civilian generals still animate by their
presence an occasional reunion of
the Grand Army, but they, too, like
the rank and file of the posts, are
marching down the farther side of the
hill of life; one by one they are drop

drum can fill their thinning ranks for

IT is safe to say that Washington
territory will be admitted as state
into the union of states before two
more years have passed. The ordinary
manner Of admitting territories is for
congress to pass an enabling act,
that is an act providing, that the ter
ritory may proceed to frame consti-
tuition, and that when this is done, if
the constitution so framed is republi-
can in character, the territory will be
admitted into the union. The specta-
Gle of free people engaged in franz
ing a constitution of government un-
der which they and their descendants
are to live forever is one that excites
emotions of the highest and noblest
character. In that constitution the
rights of persons and of property are
to be forever established. We are
with the ages. When the
time comes, let us send to Washing
ton an instrument that will show the
world that here in the great Pacific
northwest there still lives race of free
men.

"He needs to be careful of his food

by Great Britain and Germany. There
is some hope, however, that an effort
will soon be made to retrieve our losses
in this direction by opening communi-
cation between our ports and some of
those OF the South American states,
the only thing in the way being the
hostility OF congress to granting
reasonable subsidies or paying fair
compensation for the carriage OF the
mails. While we are waiting thus idly,
other and weaker governments are
pushing their interests, and even Mex 1.
leo and Canada are making the most
of their opportunities. A correspon-
dent of the Boston Globe from Buenos
Ayres says:
"Great movements seem now to be
in progress here in the matter of
United States and South American
steamship lines. Houston will very
soon launch his projected ships for
the New York trade, which will be
under the Argentine flag. Mexico
will quite certainly have a line to ply
between Vera Cruz and Buenos Ayres.

that the nation will fold its hands

There is but slight hope that con-

AuUnfortunate Accident.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Fred Appel
quist, returning from drive on the island
with his wife and little son, met with an
exceedingly unfortunate accident at the
approach to the bridge, Mr.. Appelquist
was driving his fine three year old colt
and switch engine backed down on the
c., r. 1. & p. road just as he approached
the tracks, and it being too late to turn,
took his chances at going ahead. The
horse became frantic at the noisy loco
motive and made a plunge ahead. M.
Appelquist retained his presence o. mind
and steered for the bill boards on the
west side of the street The vehicle
struck an obstruction near the boards and
Mr.. Appelquist and his family were
thrown out. Mrs. Appelquist received
painful bruise in the side. the boy had his
face scratched and Mr.. Appelquist was
picked up unconscious, he having been
struck in the head as well as on the left
shoulder. receiving painful and serious in
juries in both instances. He was con-
veyed to his home on Third avenue and
Seventeenth streets, where he is resting
q uietly and feeling easier today, but is
still suffering greatly from the effects of
the accident.

few miles above Burlington, on

ton by appointing a committee to go to
Gaesburg to confer with the officials to
ascertain what the company desired that
Oquawka should do TO secure the build |
ing of the line through that city. Passing |
through rich region of country as this
line would, the local business would be
of great benefit 10 the road. Those who |
would be likely to take an interest in the |
matter should meet soon. when the sub
ject could be thoroughly discussed and |
an effort made at once to sec what has
been done. Many believe that there is |
every prospect that this project will be
successful. The line beginning at Rock

towns, and fine territory. and end with
a commercial center only forly.five miles

Capt. Smith Harris tells US today that
in the spring of 1928 the river was TWEEN
ty-nne inches higher than the high water
mark Of 1880. The captain says that
some people who would not doubt his
word, are inclined to think that he has
made a mistake, but he has marks by
which he can prove his assertion; be-
sides, Nathan Craig, of Hanover. and
Capt. Hiram Hunt, as well as himself,
remember the circumstances and will
vouch for the fact. During the high
water of 1928 Mr.. Craig drove an iron
wedge into a ledge of rock on Apple
river at high water mark, and the wedge
is still there as a positive proof of the
point reached by the water during that
