SNYDER is SNIDE.
The Delicate Position Our Senator
is Placed In.
When "My Dear Senator Goes to Chi

of Armour's Lobbyist at the
Grand Pacific.

This mornings Plain Dealer says:
COLUMBUS, o., March 30.-The de-
PENDANTS in the Senatorial investiga-
ton are becoming somewhat aggressive
and another sensation is prOmisedin in the
shape of a couple of suits for SANDER
1t is now claimed the charges are the
result of a conspiracy in which Senator
Snyder plays leading role, and that the
object of it was to defeat the Geyser
meat bill by CRIES of bribery. The let
ter on which the charges against Messrs.
Carlin, Lindsey and Dorr are based also
contains some very damaging evidence
against Mr. Snyder. 1t closes as fol
lows:
"My dear Senator, when you come to
Chicago to attend the National Con-
ventiOn yOu must be my guest at the
Grand Pacific hotel"
This would indicate q very close re-
lationship between Mr.. Johnson, Ar
mour Il Cos lobbyist, and Mr.. Snyder,
and the fact that such man is willing
to spend not less than 800 in enter
tanning him would warrant the belief
that something was expected or receiv-
I'd in return. The fact that Mr.. John
son made his charges and then declined
to appear before the committee and
attempt to substantiate them, has left
Mr. Snyder and Alexander in very
unpleasant predicament In explaining
this invitation Mr.. Snyder testified that
when he received the letter he showed
it to no one until after the charges of
bribery appeared in the newspapers.
The attorneys for the defendants are
endeavoring to get the newspaper men
to give the name of their informant,
hoping to thus trace the information to
Mr.. Snyder's letter. The committee
accomplished very little this afternoon.
Mr.. George Cole, manager of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, was
summoned and requested to produce
kilograms that passed between Mr..
Snyder and Mr.. johnson. He refused
ANA the committee will take necessary
steps to compel him to produce them if
possible. 1t is said that Armour has
spent considerable money in the Penn
sylvania Legislature recently defeating
a bill similar to Mr.. Geyer's and took
the course of crying bribery to defeat
this one.
Mr.. Carlin is a man of considerable
wealth, having owned a large an cunt
OF real estate III Findlay when the boom
struck it. He says he will sift the
charges and fix the responsibility of it
cost S25,OOO, and already it is rumored
that unless Messrs. Snyder and Alexan-
der make better case than has been
developed so far they will both be sued
for criminal libel and damages asked.
On the whole, the investigation prom
ises to become more interesting, and
the fight is growing more bitter.

The Mcleod Works.

The following is the gist of the re-
port of the committee appointed to in
yestlgate the condition Of the Mcleod
Works:
The Mcleod Company is organized
as a corporation with stock TO the
amount of $1,000,000 OF this, SS750,0O0
stock has been issued and is held by
various parties, Mr.. j. S. Mcleod hold
ing $250,000 worth himself. The con
tract between the company and our
local gentlemen is so drawn as to make
$4,000 payable in installments as the
work of building the new shops in this
city progresses.
This report is signed by j. j. Clark.
The other two members of the commit
tee made verbal report to the same
effect.

Sad Suicide.

NEW YORK, March 29.-[Special. l.
In little parlor on the second floor of
257 East Houston street lie the remains
of a remarkably handsome Jewish
maiden who committed suicide by tax
ing poison. The features are calm and
peaceful, and there is little in the al
most smiling upturned face to indicate
thatthe young girl found life's burdens
too heavy for her to bear, that she was
weary of life and consequently had de-
hberately planned to make away with
herself. She was Esther Strauss, who
kept house for her father at
the place mentioned. The family
consisted Of father and three daughters,
Minnie, aged II, Esther, aged 81, Bella,
aged "a, and two sons. 1t was a very
interesting fCmily. The three girls are

THE Sunday closing bill passed the
House at Columbus a few weeks ago
and was sent to the Senate. Republi.
cans of influence came rushing up from
Cincinnati, swearing, like the army in
Flanders, that if this bill became a law
it would give Hamilton county to the
Democrats by 10000 majority. The
House, Republican, got the bill back
from the Senate, got it reconsidered,
and then referred to the committee,
where it sleeps-and ever will.
The Republican is the great moral
reform party of infallibilityl Aint it?

The announcement by Chairman
Brice that DR.. Norvin Green, presi-
dent Of the Western Union TeIe-

$4,000 to the democratic national
campaign fund, has created such a
tempest among the voters in the west
that threats have been made to re-
move Brice if he makes any further
indiscreet revelations. OF course no
one supposes that DR.. Green put his
hand into his own private pocket to
get the $4,000. It is the contribu-

stantly commenced a wild race for
the house On horse and foot each
ran as though his life depended on
the result. On foot myself, I drew
my coat and threw It from me and a
moment after, seeing a horseman
rush past me I called to him to let
me have his horse. He instantly dis
mounted; sprang into the saddle
and urged the horse forward. As I
reached the yard the joyful words
greeted me He's alive and all right. -
Three miles away little BERTHE Daw-
son, out herding his fathers cattle,
had found the little sufferer standing
crying among the tall prairie grass
near the bank of a creek, and had
first carried him in triumph to his
(Bertie'sy home and then came with
the glad news. At our house there
was now a scene of the widest ex-
element. There was crying and
shouting, hand shaking and embrac-
ing, and lips unused to such words
said 'Praise the Lord" At once
some were on their way toward Daw-
sons.
Our team was hitched to the bug
gy and his mother aad I, with other
kind friends and a convoy of horse
men, were soon rapidly lessening the
distance between us. Two miles
from home we saw a procession com
ing with the little one, and soon he
was folded again to his mothers
bosom. His eyes looked wild and
hollow and his poor little limbs were
scratched and swollen but he was
still able to walk. It was a triumph
ant procession that carried him home.
The house and yard seemed full of
people anxious to see the little wan
derer, and all that day they still
came. A few days Of tender nursing
restored our darling to health and
activity. And now we can see Divine
love and wisdom in all that has be-
fallen Us. Nothing else could so have
melted the hearts Of this people, and
many have been the acknowledge
ments that nothing less than the
hand Of God saved our baby. And
to our own family it is simply a
miracle, and has brought us closer in
assurance Of faith and dedication tc
his service.
To his worthy name be all glory
given. EDWARD @. Cook.

From the Stockton News.
Don't sell your farm; stick to It.
We know that the dry and hot wealth
er has been hard on the corn crop,
but do not give up. Driveling now
and going about complaining may
cause you a failure next year Do
not try to sell now. If you have list
ed your farm with an agent take it
of his books. This is not a good time
to sell, because there are no buyers
except spectators, and they must
have 1t at less than half its value.
They buy only where they think they
can double their money. You can't
afford to sell to them. The real buy
ers are not here, they will come when
we again have good crops, and then
If you want to sell you can get good
prices. What would you think of
a merchant that would expose skates
for sale in July when there were
none that wanted to buy. Yet that
would be just as rational as for YOU
to offer to sell your farm now. Go
to work with energy. Sow all the
wheat and rye you can. Put it in
the best condition you can. Lay
your plans for next springs work.
Sow oats and millet, and plant all the
corn that you can cultivate good.
Then, after you have gathered your
harvest, and your corn is ready for
husking, if you want to sell your
farm you can get a good price for
1t, or you may cali me a grasshop-
per. Did not j. T. Locke, more
than year ago, tell US what to
expect this year? And has not
his predictions been fulfilled to the
very letter? Did not Mr. Locke also
tell us that next year (1689) would be
a year Of great crops; that everything
planted will produce abundantly?
Then go to work cheerfully, hopeful
ly, and with engery, and put your
farm In the best condition. Make it
a source of pride, and it will not fail
to be a source of profit. Stick to the
farm. If you leave here where viii
you go? Where is the country where
failures are unknown, where you do
not have to economic, and where
there are no drawbacks. After sell
ing your farm and other property that
you would have to dispose Of at a
sacrifice, could you fix up any better
than you are here? Would you be
any better off? Someone has said
that two moves is equal to one burn; ;
don't jump out of the fryingpan into
the fire; look before you leap"
Don't sell your farm. Crops of all
kinds, except corn and potatoes, are
good this year, and corn is good in
some places. Wheat and rye were
more than an average crop, and oats
was the largest crop that we have ever
had. Farmers have no real cause to
feel depressed. The evil is more i'm
aginary than real. Keep your homes.
