SpeCldl 10 the GlODe-
IsPHEMING, Mich, Aug. 2,-The
Republican party of the Upper PENN
sula has lost one of its leading lights in
the desertion of Fred Breasted, of Ish-
peming, who announces that it is his
intention to hereafter affiliate with the
Democrats. Mr.. BREASTED is one of the
leading and most influential Scandina-
vians in the Upper Peninsula. He has
resided in Marquette county for many
yeaos, and although poor boy when he
came to this country, he amassed a for
tune estimated at from 100000 to half
a million. He Ownes large general
mercantile establishment which does
business of about $4,000 per month,
and few weeks ago ne purchased the
Winthrop and Mitchell iron mines,
located near Ishpeming. Mr. Breasted
was a delegate to the Democratic state
convention held at Detroit last week,
and the delegates from the Eleventh
congressional district chose him as a
presidential elector. With becoming
modesty, however, he declined, saying
that he was too new in the party to ac-
cept such an honor. Mr.. Braasted's
advocacy of the election of Cleveland
and Thurman shows that he is not at
all afraid that the iron district will
suffer from Democratic legislation.

THEY ABUSE HIM.

Next to KNUTE NELSON, of this state,
young OWEN LovEJOY, the son of the
famous OWEN LovEJoY of abolition
history, is receiving the most abuse
from the Republican managers. Young
Mr.. LovEJoY's offense is that he ac-
copied the Democratic congressional
nomination in the Princeton district of
Illinois, and the Chicago Tribune holds
up its hands in holy horror at the
thought that the scion of an abolition
martyr should be keeping company with
''the party of state sovereignty and eX-
traitors" If the Tribune only knew
how ridiculous it was making itself in
the eyes of the people of Illinois it
would surely quit its foolish prattle. 1t
is too recent since the Tribune was
kicking over the party traces to be CIV
ing lessons III discipline to other old
line Republicans.
Young Mr.. LOvEJoY'S detection from
the Republican party at this time is in
exact line with the teachings Of his dis
tinguished father. He is only doing
what OWEN LovEJoY, ST., would have
done under similar circumstance. The
elder LoyEJoY fought for the abolition
of negro slavery. The Junior LovEJoY
is now fighting for the abolition of white
slavery. That's the difference between
father and son.
1t will probably make papers like the
Chicago Tribune mad to say it, yet we
believe we are speaking the honest truth
when we say that if ABRAHAM LIN
coin were alive to-day he would be a
Democrat. He was too much man
of the people to side with monop-
oily in such a contest as is
now being waged. In his great big heart
there was too much tender sympathy
for the suffering masses even to have per-
mitted him to become the champion of
oppression. OWEN LovEJoY, ST., was
man after LINCoLN's own heart, and
OWEN LovEJOY, Jr., is chip of the
old block. That is why he is leading
the Democratic hosts in the Princetown
district in their battles for tariff reform,
and an honest and economical admins
tration of the government. The Repub-
lican party has drifted away from the
point where LINCOLN and the elder
LoNEJoY stood. That it has done so is
no reason why their descendants should
abandon the cause of human freedom.

Queer Mishap That Caused

Militia Sent to the Scene Of
Trouble in Stevens Coun-

Two Engines Attempt to Pass

SOMERSET, KY, Aug. 9TH ere was
another frightful wreck on the Cincin-
natl Southern about 10 o'clock last
night. This time it was an unavoidable
accident. but resulted, as usual, in dam
age to the company and death of one,
and probably three men. When freight
No. II, south, Conductor Harry Altman
and Engineer j. B. Howard in charge,
was about half through tunnel No. 2,
the front truck OH the second car from
the engine gave way and threw several
others Off the track. The engine pulled
out of the tunnel onto the cut before
Howard could stop it. The Gals were
thrown one by one over the embank-
ment and rolled to the bed of Pitman
creek, $50 feet below. The track was
torn up for several hundred yards. The
loss to the company will be very heavy,
and it is thought the loss of life will
number at least three. Brakeman Rob-
ert Thomas, of Virginia, OF rather few
pieces of him, were found under a car,
and his remains were placed in a sack
and sent to this place. Two trampS got

A CLERGYMAN's QUEER JoKE.
He Throws Soapy Water Over a
Young Lady's Summer Hat and
Dress

Dress.
Columbus (Pa.) Special.
There is considerable sensational Cos
sip in this little town over Miss Bessie
Kerwin's spoiled summer hat. Rev.
E. I. Parker, the pastor of the Metho-
dist church, is charged with having
taken the curl out of the pretty feathers
and made limp the fine ribbons.
The trouble all originated in a Joke. but
it has serious outlook now. Last week
Miss Kerwin, who. for more reasons
than one. is entitled to be called the
belle of the town, playfully threw
handful of peanuts in the minister's
face during a conversation. Miss
Kerwin laughed it all off, and
had forgotten all about it until
a few days ago, when she was
drenching at the hands Of her clerical
friend. Miss Kerwln was elegantly at
tired in new summer costume. and
wore costly hat just purchased in New
York. She had accepted an invitation
to go driving. When passing the Meth
CdlSt parsonage she was met by friend
and was engaged in conversation.
Rev. Mr.. Parker saw her in front of his
house and thought it was a good oppor-
tunity to avenge the little peanut cpl
SOde of the former week. He went up
stairs and threw basin of soapy water
on the new hat. He thought it Joke
and laughed, but Miss Kerwin regarded
it as an insult and wept. When she
reached home and saw the wreck of her
bonnet and her soiled clothes she felt
highly indignant. Her friends have adj
weed her to sue the domino, and it is
probable that she will. Rev. Mr.. Parker
states that he had no idea of soiling his
friend, Miss Kerwin, and only let the
water down to scare her. BE says that he
is sorry that a little joke should be viewed
so SeriOuSIy

Not a Cooked Sword.

One might as well expect to play with
fire without being burned as to NEEDLE
with some men of ready tongue and
wit and come off victorious. Dis
turb them and it is foregone
conclusion that they will sting.
The great lawyer Pettigrew, of South
Carolina, one day entered the court
room wearing black coat and yellow
nankeen trousers. The judge, who was
stickler for etiquette, sternly asked
him whether he did not know that the
rules of the court required its COUNSEL
ors to appear to appear in ''black coat
and trousers"
swell, your honor" said Pettigrew
innocently, II submit that l am within
the rule, for l have on black coat and
trousers"
But they're not black trousers" in
sisted the judge. "'Black coat and
trousers means that both shall be
black"
"Then," said Pettigrew, 81 call your
honor's attention to the fact the sheriff
of this court is in contempt of its rules,
for they require him to attend upon it's
sessions in a cooked hat and sword, and
while his hat seems to be cooked, his
sword certainly is not"
The judge did not pursue the argu-
ment further.

The man who is working for himself
has little to say about eight hours day
laws, and never stops to consider
whether or not he is working over time,
as the following dialogue illustrates:

said: why, Jim, you're working over

'Yes," was the answer.

pail, ''but you see have just bought

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.
Postmaster Pearson, of New York,
II eplies to His Carriers Com
plaintS

New YORK, Aug. 3.-Postmaster Pear
son has replied to complaints of letter
carriers, that their daily service I'M
der the eight hour law is spread
by intervals to over twelve to
fourteen hours. Mr.. Pearson says the
conditions of the service necessitate
such allotments and that it is absurd to
charge him with purpose to impose
hardship on the men, because they
were active for the eight-hour bill.
In closing, the postmaster says:
l do not propose to destroy or cripple
the postal service here, nor to sacrifice
public interests placed in my charge
in order to crafty the unreasonable de-
mands Of any class of employees. l do
not understand that the object of the
establishment and maintenance of
the postal service is to secure the en-
joyment of good time for its employees
whether postmasterS, clerks or car
rierS. 1t does not seem unreasonable
that in return for these concessions
of eight-hour law carriers should be
willing to perform their duty in such
manner and at such time within the
abOve-named limit as the exigencies of
the service and the needs of the public
NAV demand.n
