a MERRY JIG.
Rorv Sunset Cor Danced Into the Hearts o.

y OftO IeOpte'
Sunset Cox's first Congressional
campaign in Ohio is still remembered
~ the old citizens of the district. To
reach Congress was his aspiration. To
do this he saw very plainly that it was
necessary for him to lay aside his Latin
and Greek, his admiration of Penelope
and his sympathy for Dido. These
were things that the average Buckeye
rather despised, for he thought, right
fully enough, perhaps, that hts eoun-
try's liberty was not altogether safe IN
the hands of too much learning. Mr..
Cox saw that something must be done
to reach the common plane. He hada
large platform constructed, capable of
holding several hundred persons. 1t
moved on wheels, and was drawn from
place to place by four sportive buff
faloes. On this platform Mr.. Cox
visited all quarters of his Congress
sional district. He made a rousing,
roaring speech everywhere he went.
In order to injure his political pros
poets his enemies gave circulation to
report that he put on airs and de-
clined to dance with the village
maidens.
This had some foundation in truth,
but the reason that he refused to dance
with the fair daughters of Columbus
was not that he was too proud to do
so, but that he feared to provoke a
collision with some jealous lover. He
was resolved, however, to set this very
serious charge at rest. He therefore,
at the conclusion of each speech,
called on bis audience to select the
best female dancer among them and
leave her on the platform for Jolly
rigadoon. There were always plenty
of buxom country lasses that We're
willing and ready to shake their heels,
and he was never at loss for an arm
full. Mr.. Cox was an excellent dancer,
and the fame of his rigadoons spread
far and wide, and farmers and their
families for miles around turned out to
see him, for among the Buckeyes q
good dancer threw poets and states
men completely in the shade.
After a rafting speech, on one oc-
casion, Mr.. Cox offered the customary
challenge Perhaps he was not much
startled to see four strong men jump
on his patent platform and commence
pulling a strong rope. Presently 300
pounds of a dusky Dinah stood along
side of him. When the hawser was
loosened from her waist she breathed
freer, and took Mr.. Cox by the arm.
The disparity in their size created up
roarious laughter He did not stand
on ceremony, but shot his arm around
her waist and trotted away. The
music was lively, and Dinah's steps
became fast and furious. She sung,
she screamed, she yelled with delight
Things were growing warm, and
Dinah was becoming a little rank
Her partner freed himself from her
arms and danced all round her. The
excitement was at its height. Deaf
ening applause rent the air. No such
fun was ever enjoyed before. The
climax was reached when Dinah, in
making a quick turn, frightened the
sportive buffaloes by falling with a
heavy thud on the platform.

Berlin, where the press urged also
the recall of the English Consul at
Samoa.
Considerable disgust is felt over the
fact that the American representa-
tive at the Berlin conference is to be
q secretary Of the American lega-
ton, Mr. Chapman Coleman.
The House of Representatives has
accepted a Senate amendment of
100000 for maintaining American
rights in Samoa. This sum is voted
in addition to the 100000 for Pango
Pango harbor.
The publication of further official
documents tends to show that Ma
ietoa was deceived by the United
States Government, and that Secre-
tary BaYard has Numbered through
out and played into the hands of the
Germans.
Owing to the fact that the Ger
mans announced their intention of
searching vessels of all nationalities
that arrived at Samoa, the Alameda
will not take any cargo for the
Islands and has refused to carry
guns and supplies of ammunition.
1t is now stated that Minister Pen
dleton will preside at the conference
IN Berlin.

GORDoN'S TAKING OFF.

The last hours OF Gordon at Khar-
toum are described in dispatches to
London on January 18th from Gen
eral Grenfell'at Suakim, who was at
khartoum- the. pight it. EGasufaday.
break Grenfell was told: " All the
great officers Of the Mahdi had gone
to kill Gordon Pasha." He saw
Gordon smoking a cigarette on the
balcony. He was told to fly, but in
dignantly refused to leave his post.
As Gordon boldly stood facing the
dervishes several superior Mahdist
Generals came up. The dervishes
all allowed them to pass. They
assembled the steps and asked for the
Pasha.
Gordon met them saying, Il am
he" He handed them his sword in
military fashion, intimating that he
knew they had taken the place. and
consequently he surrendered accord
ing to the usages of war. But Nassas.
one of the Generals, snatched hold
of the sword, at the same time. in a
brutal and most cowardly manner,
striking Gordon an unexpected
blow. The Pasha would have fought
desperately had he thought he
would not be treated in an honor
able manner. He fell, rolling down
the stairs. As he rolled another
General speared him on the left side,
a dangerous wound.
Thus died Gordon. l was there a
spectator to the ghastly deed. [ got
out of the way when he rolled to the
bottom Of the stairs.

Trouble in China.
News has been received of a riot
at Chin Keang Foo, treaty port
about 200 miles up the river from
Shanghai. The British Consulate
and the houses of a number of for
eigners were wrecked. A British
man-of-war was dispatched to the
scene at once. Ching Keang Foo is
one of the most important Chinese
ports. Its imports are greater than
those of any other place in China,
except Shanghai. As a consequence
the place has many foreign residents.
Further adviees say that the Am
erican Consulate at Ching Keang
Foo was looted by mob, that
European hotel was fired, and that
the foreigners were fleeing over the
hills for their lives.
The whole of the foreign commun-
ity of Ching Keang Foo, with the
exception of a dozen Customs and
Consular officials, arrived safely at
Shanghai. They report that the
foreign concession has been almost
destroyed. The American Mission
chapel outside the concession has
been burned, and the place is in the
hands of the Chinese. It is stated
that Chinese officials and soldiers
abetted the conspiracy. American
and British men-of-war have arrived
there.

The United states and the Isthmus.


The joint resolution passed by the
Senate in regard to the Panama
Canal, if adopted by the House of
Representatives and signed by the
President, means, if it practically
means anything. that the Govern
ment of the United States will not
passively submit to the construction
of any such canal across the Isthmus
of Darien or across Central America
which shall ever be under the con-
trol-of any European Government. If
it does not mean this, then it is
mass of words without any practical
import. Such a canal, thus con
trolled, might, in the event of war,
become a very serious affair to the
United States Exchange.

This impressive act was preceded at 9 o'clock, In all the churches in the city by prayer for Gods blessings on the government and its first president The centennial of this illustrious event m our history has been declared to be general holiday by an act of congress to the end that on this

Senator Hardy "ralks ,n Meet-

ln letter to the Mohave County Miner, Councilman Hardy has the fol- lowing Aa say: "It is currently reported that all the democrats who were confined in the territorial prison have been set at liberty. It is true tha, some democrats. at least have been pardoned. and have not been able to find anything m print to justify this wholesale pardoning. Sol Barth's. of Apache county. il is sad. cost him $7,ooo; Chinaman last fall cost the heather Chinese $4, 900. and it is a matter of fact that other criminals have written to friends for funds for what purpose cannot learn. An act was rushed through the Legislature on the aIst of last monh to pay C. A. Luke $s,4oo. It w,llbe re- membered that this claim had been pre- sented to the last seven or eight legisla- lures, but. although they were a majority democratic, his claim was not considered valid and did not pass. Bu, somehow or other three republicans of the council were bulldozed or traded into voting In favor of this fraudulent account. Strange to relate, 1t was not an hour after this measure was passed bstore |, vas fixed up and signed by the governor and paid by the treasurer or some one else. SO the money was realized, and three days later relative who had bee" sent to Yuma prison for assaulting poor gul vas par doned out and returned to Phenix. Whether It takes money to get out ef prison or not, it is certain that Il looks very suspicious. We know that there was proof positive that the state prison of California was cleared out for money by a democratic governor. IL is the democratic way ot dolng business
 "What is done with this great poodle is a question frequently asked but no, sat, factorily answered. The democrats boast of having money in their party treasury to 6ght any attcmp, to get pos session of the different institutions. It will take awhile to get around all of this. but get there we will.
 "The republicans may have to wait until judges are appointed. and then until next December that congress may approve our acts, but in the end we ex- pect to get there, but sure to find an empty treaslpy and mixed up state of affairs. You see 1t is the determination of the democrats lo stave of and keep in possession of the institutions so as to carry the election of 1890, so if possible to be able to elect United States demo cratic senators from Arizona. So the republicans of the territory may pre- pare themselves for the worst, for de- pend upon 1t, desperate effort will be made by the democrats to elect major ity of the Sixteenth legislature"
