South Mnshinrinn.

Edward Luckett and Henry Turner
played a dangerous game yesterday on +
street, near Second southwest, which af-
iorded lots of fun while it lasted, but
ended in manner far from pleasant.
Turner had loaded revolver and Luckett
put out his foot, telling the former that he
couldn't hit it with the weapon before it
was drawn back Turner proved good
shot, however, and put bullet through
Luckett's left pedal extremity, intlicting a
painful wound. The injured boy was
sent on car to Freedman's Hospital,
where his foot was dressed.
The Lady of the Lake arrived in Nor
folk late yesterday afternoon, having been
detained by the ice and fog, She did not
arrive at her wharf in this city until late
this afternoon. The river is full of iioat-
ing ice.
South Washington was painfully quiet
yesterday. Only four arrests were made
by the police of the Fourth Precinct, and
but one of these was for intoxication.

A Western Idea of an Eastern Storm.


Sarcastic Comments in the Redfeld (Dakota)
Journal
They have had severe storm in the East.
where trains have been blockaded for sew
eral days at time. A great deal of suffer-
ing is also reported. Below is given very
brief report of some of the most distressing
casualties:
AT St. Adams, VT. the town milk-man
went out to the pump, ten feet distant from
the house, to water the milk, when the
since.
LrARTowN, n. Y, was buried beneath
fifty feet of snow. The citizens have made
tunnels along the sidewalks and at the
crossings by eating the snow as they
proceeded.
A WOMAN at Pittsfield, Vt, went out to
get piece of iron to put in a bundle of rags
which she expected to sell to tin-peddler
the next day. The blizzard overlook her,
She was blown to atoms.
AT Bukertown, VT, the thermometer
dropped to 81 below zero. The town is well
supplied with fuel, but the fires freeze up as
fast as the people can kindle them One
hundred of the prominent citizens have
already notified the coroner that they are
dead and want him to sit on their CONCEALED
remains
a MAN at Whopperville, Whopperup
county, Long Island, attempted to face the
storm to his home, only quarter of mile dis
tant. He walked in straight line four hours
and got within ten feet of his home, when
he was attacked by swarm of mosquitoes
and killed. His manged body was discov-
cred the next morning, frozen stiff as a rail.
IN hamlet in the Catkiler mountains a
woman started over to neighbours to tell
all about the great Dakota blizzard. When
about midway she was struck amidships by
a northeastern blast. Four days thereafter
she was found seventeen miles away with
ten-foot snow drift in her mouth The rail-
road snow-shovel was set to work and soon
made room for her tongue to wiggle when
she began at once to warn people to keep
away from Dakota.
These reports are given just as they came
to us They may seem rather exaggerated,
but they will probably compare favorably
with eastern reports concerning Dakotas
storm.

feature and every policy" Unless
such man shall be the nominee of the
republican party the next president
will be democrat.-Ne,C York Press.
THE II. v is greatly mistaken in
assuming that the paragraphs it quotes
from certain bumptious newspapers in
criticism of the WATCHMAN are briars
and thornsn to us. We are not in
the least sensitive to impertinent and
ill-natured criticism and find little
reason for continuing controversies
with people who fail to recognize the
limitations of fair discussion. Now do
not lie awake nights, esteemed contem-
pOrary, commiserating our supposed
sufferings from "the sings and ar
rows of outrageous fortune" for they
have no existence save in your erratic
imagination. Do not waste even the
smallest particle of sympathy upon us.
Save it for your own use; you are likely
to need all of il in the future.
LET the principles of free-trade be
established in America and the millions
of Asia will be brought into use to
compete with and underbid the millions
of Europe. The American artisan will
be driven from factory and shop to be-
come producer of food in competition
with the farmer, instead of being, as
he is now, the farmers best customer.
There is no escape from the logical
conclusion that protection must be the
American policy. Every man with the
slightest knowledge of the history of
the country can see what it has done
in the past America is now nearly in
dependent of the world for all its
wants. If the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans were turned into impossible
seas of fire there would be some in
convenience, but no suffering, in this
country .-Ndtiondl Republican.
A BURLINGTON correspondent says:
"The present indications are that YER
mont's delegation to the republican ma
tional convention will be about as fol-
lows, though there may be one or two
changes in the list: Ex-Governors
Smith and Proctor, Hon. Frederick
Billings, Hon. S. ID. Hobson, General
w. W. Henry, Hon. G.. w. Read of
Addison, Frank Plumley, ESQ.,, of
Mortified and Colonel julius j. Estey
of Brattleboro. The prevailing SEN
timent is that at least two of the
delegates should be men of national
reputation and who have had ex-
perience in the same capacity in former
national conventions. For alternates
there is no lack of good men to choose
from" The Burlington correspondent.
of the Troy Budget writes: Gas
nearly as can be stated at this time, the
four gates-at-large will be ex-Gov-
errors Proctor of Proctor and J. Greg
DRY Smith of St. Adams, Hon. Fred
erick Billings of Woodstock and Cen
eral j. G. Mccullough of Bennington.
The first districts two delegates will
be selected from these names, Hon.
G. w. Read of Addison, General w.

Derby of Burlington, and the second dis.
trict's, Hon. S. d. Hobson of Brighton

Emperor Frederick and Bismarck.

The proclamation of the new emperor
of Germany last week reads strongly an
tagonistic to the principles and policies
of Bismarck. The emperor says: " I'm
concerned for the splendor of glorious
deeds, | shall be content if it can be
hereafter said my government has been
beneficial to my people, useful to the
country and blessing to the empire"
These are noble sentiments. The
proclamation contains no menace to
foreign powers and promises reforms in
a general sense. Bismarck's policy in
regard to protection receives a decided
snub. While the emperor speaks
against the idea of state socialism, he
declares in favor of race and religious
equality. This is interpreted as an in
direct censure of Bismarck and Prince
William, who practically approved of
the anti-Jewish crusade. The Emperor
Frederick has, however, commended
the services of Prince Bismarck to the
empire in the highest terms, and this
fact has given rise to much discussion
in European capitals as to whether or
not the character of his proclamation is
due to the assistance of Bismarck, who
may have thought that this was the
proper time to inaugurate change
from policies that could not be success
fully maintained.
In his letter to Bismarck the emperor
refers to him as the true and coura-
geous counsellor" who gave to his
fathers policy its aim and form and Sc
cured its complete fulfillment, and as
having the right before all others to
know what are the stand-points which
will be the guiding principles for up
holding the new government. The
emperor says: "The constitutional
rights of all the federal governments
must as conscientiously be respected as
those of the reichstag, but from both
similar respect for the rights of the
emperor must be expected" The en-
peror sees the necessity for the "un-
abated maintenance of the warike
power of the country" of his I" we'll
tried army, and of the navy now grow
ing up, for which important duties have
arisen in the requirement of the trans
oceanic possessions" He desires that
the basis of religious liberation for
centuries held sacred by his house shall
continue to be extended to his subjects,
of whatever religious community or
creed. He will warmly support all eff
forts calculated to improve the econom-
ical prosperity of the different classes
of society. Closely bound up with the
social question he regards that of the
education of youth. He concludes by
expressing the desire. to lead Germany
and Prussia to new honors in the
domain of pacific development
