A Life Convict Commits suicIs

A Life Convict Commits Suicide
 HARTFORD, Nov. 19.- John Hodel, life prisoner in the State prison, committed sui oide early this morning by hanging himself to his cell door with sheet. At o'clock the Watchman passed his cell door and he was apparently asleep. An hour later when the prisoners were called for breakfast Ho- del's dead body was suspended to the cell door. Hodel, who was Swiss, 3S years old on November 3, 1887, came home intoxicated, poured kerosene oil on the floor and furni- ture and then set fire to it. The fire not spreading rapidly he shot and killed his wife. His two children were burned to death. He pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree on May 2, 1888, and was sen- tenced by Judge Andrews to imprisonment for life.
 HIS HOME WAS IN TURNERvuLE.
 Hodel entered the prison May 9, 1888, and was at once put to work in the shoe shop. He was moody, but showed no signs of in- sanity. He made no trouble for the officers, obeyed the rules and was one of the most do- cile of the prisoners. No change in his 3on- dition was noticeable during the past few days. HodeIs suicide was first discovered by Officer Dooiittle when he was making his tour to notify the convicts that it was break fast time.
 HodeI had torn his sheet into narrow pieces and tying these around his neck had stood in chair and secured the other end to fasten- Ing over the cell deer. He thsn kicked thei

 The Chinese Not OH Yet.
 The Chinamen arrested Saturday night in Yup Foon's gambling place on Grown street were in the City court yesterday. They were represented by Judge Blydenburg. He succeeded in inducing Prosecutor Daley to recommend fine of $3 and costs for each player, with $10 and costs for the proprie- tor. He urged that the game was purely a Chinese one and confined entirely to the laundrymen here. No outsiders, or men of other nationalities either knew how or wish ed to play,
 Judge Pickett objected to forming pre- cedent. He wished time to consider the matter and laid the cases over to to-day.

some suvelIne Politicians.

Mention was made some time ago of the fact that the little children of Congressman Woodburn, of Nevada, espoused the cause of Cleveland and Thurman, although their father is one of the most intense Republicans in all the land. The children inherited their Democratic sympathy from their mother, who died two or three years ago. All of her family were Democrats. Not long ago the Congressman's little daughter began to flop. One day she had an earnest political talk with her brother, to whom she said: "Now, George, don't you think it is rather hard on pop (as she calls her father) for both of us to be Democrats2 Wouldn't it be we'll for us to pair, and let me call myself Republican un- til the campaign is overf'
 The boy wouldn't agree to any such propo- sition, and tried to induce his little sister, who is only about seven years old, to remain steadfast to the Democratic cause. But the little girl Topped just before the election. Wednesday morning, when the nine-y year old boy heard that the returns indicated the election Harrison, he upbraided his sister for deserting her party in time of peril, hurting her feelings 80 much that she cried. The old man, the Congressman, slept late on Wednesday, and George couldn't wait for him to arise. He went into the room, awak- ened him and said: sfWell, pop, you Re- publioans have won But look here, you know am your son, and If you have won any money on Harrison you ought to give me . bicycle"

 The cases against Margaret Carmody and her son Torrance, for taking fraudulent means to obtain pension, were called before United States Commissioner Wright yester day afternoon. Afidsvits were sent by Mrs. Carmody, signed by James O'Brien and Michael Brophy, shipmates of the deceased husband, stating that he was injured on board the steamer Powhattan in 1868, thus losing his life. Pension Examiner Stanton found that the afidavits were forgeries. Mrs. Carmody has made full confession to U. s. Attorney Sill. Attorney Thomas Denahue yesterday appeared for the defence. Mrs. Carmody was bound over to the district court, which meets in Hartford in December. Bonds of $500 were furnished. The case against the son was continued until Saturday.

II misrepresentation of our purposes
and motives are to gain credence and
defeat our present effort in this direc-
ton, there seems to be no reason WHY
every endeavor in the future to accom-

likewise attacked and with like result.
And yet no thoughtful man can fail to
see in the continuance of the present
burdens of the people and the abstrac-
ton by the Government of the currency
OF the country inevitable distress and
disaster. All danger will be averted
by timely action. The difficulty of ap-
plying the remedy will never be less,
and the blame should not be laid at
the door of the Democratic party If it
is applied too late. With firm faith in
the intelligence and patriotism of our
countrymen, and relying upon the con-
viction that Misrepresentation will
not influence them. prejudice will not
cloud their understanding, and that
menace win not intimidate them, let

Practical Political Work.

An accurate poll list is the most
effective factor in contested election.
In town near by the Democratic club
has ordered and is making such an
one. On route within the election
district in which are forty-two voters,
there were found and placed on the
poll list. four years ago, five more Re-
publicans than Democrats. This year.
on the same route, ara found twenty
two Democrats and fifteen Republicans,
who authorize their names put in such
columns The other five voters are
Germans. Four of them said they
voted for Blaine. but should now
vote for Cleveland. The other said
he was not quite certain, but thought
he should also vote for Cleveland.
The result Is that while Blaine
got twentv-three votes to Cleve-
lands eighteen. four years ago, Cleve-
land Will now get twenty-six to Har-

sign that the Democratic party is
weaker than it was before the tariff
reform issue was raised
The significance of this result is
very great when we consider the De-
culiar advantages which Maine pre-
sented as field for Republican gains
this year. On the fishery issue and
the question of free lumber alone, there
was reason for thinking that inroads
might be made upon the Democratic
strength. Mr.. Blaine evidently thought
30, for he made those questions very
prominent in his speeches, all of which
were confined almost entirely to them
and to the dangers Of free trade. The
Republicans had the advantage of his
personal efforts ia their campaign, he
bringing to the work all the prestige
OF his first appearance after a Eu-
ropean tour, where he had observed
personally the baleful effects of free
trade abroad.
Furthermore, the election was held
before the National campaign had fair
ly begun, and before there had been
any thing which could be called an
adequate presentation of the Demo-
cratic side of the tariff question. The
National Democratic Committee sent no
speakers into Maine to answer Mr..
Blaine's arguments. Almost the only
outside Democratic orator who went
there was Colonel Fellows, and we
have never heard him spoken of as a
persuasive orator upon economic ques-
tions. In addition to Mr.. Blaine's
personal leadership, the Republicans
had the aid of one of the most thor
oughly organized political machines in
the country, and the skill in the work.
ing OF it which comes only with long
practice. Yet. with all these adj
vantages, they have failed to carry the
State by as large majority as they
had four years ago, though the total /
vote now is over 1900 larger now than
it was then. They have failed, not
only to draw away any of the Demo-
cratic strength, but have failed to se-
cure more than half of their share of
the increased vote ~ y Post.

CONTRASTING VIEWS.


Which Do the People Skare-Mr. BlaIne's
or President Clevcland's?
Mr.. Blaine, in his written and re-
vised view of trusts, said that ssthere
is not one among them all that derives
its being. owes its organization or
came up under the patronage of the
National Government. The Repub-
lican leader also declared that TRUSTS
have no place in National cam
paign," and did not recant his former
opinion that ''they are largely private
affairs"
President Cleveland in his letter
thus states the Democratic position:
We believe that these Trusts are the natural
offspring OF market artificiaIy restricted;
that an inordinately high tariff, besides fur
nishing rhe temptation for their existence. en-
laygcs the limit within which they NAV operate
against the people. and thus increases the ex-
tent Of their power for wrong-doing With an
unalterable hatred OF all such schemes. we
count the checking of their baleful operations
among the good results promised by revenue
reform
The following figures show that Mr..
Blaine is wrong and President Cleve-
land right upon this question. A Trust
certainly derives its being, owes its
organization and comes up under the
patronage of the National Govern
