Distressing Accidents.


Last Thursday Mr.. j. Bartlett, who
lives OH John Grays farm in Melville
township, was working In the field with
the team, and his two sons aged three
and eight, respectively, were with him.
When the time arrived for going to tho
house, Mr.. Bartlett wished to do some
work removed from the wagon road,
hence he put the boys onto the hay
rack and told them to drive homeward.
On the way the team became frightened
and unmanageable and ran away and
were soon on the public highway, the
boys helpless TO hold or guide them.
Mr.. Bob Fullerton, who was also on the
road saw cloud of dust before him
but was unable to describe the team or
drivers. Unable to leave his team or
get ont of the way he did what he could
to stop the runaways, but they were so
badly distracted that they paid no heea
and ran full force into Mr.. Fullerton's
rig, doing sad havoc. The tongue of
the wagon pierced the side of one of
Fullert0n's horses so seriously that il
died from the injuries Sunday night,
and the other one was badly lacerated
In q barb wire fence, while the wagon
was badly demolished. Mr.. Fullerton
was between the forces, and it is acs
counted miraculous that he escaped
with his life. AS II was he was tram.
pied beneath the feet of the horses, and
his back and one leg were stepped upon.
lie was taken up unconscious, and duly
cared for, and Is now getting along very
nicely. Unaccountable as IL Is, the lit.
tie ones who were thus thoughtlessly
placed In danger were uninjured. Mr..
Fullerton sustains the loss of a good
team, as the horse yet living is render
ed almost useless, and one he can i'll af-
ford, rs he is a young man just started
In life, but all will account him fortu-
nate in escaping from the turmoil with
out more serious injury.
Mrs. Chas. Ochiltree and Mrs. Heath
coate accompanied by two children
were driving to Audubon Tuesday
morning In spring wagon, and when
on the road north of town running par
allel with the North Western track was
reached, the train came along and
frightened the team so that it became
unmanageable, upset the wagon and
distributed the occupants promiscuous-
ly about. Engineer Munson seeing the
accident, whistled down brakes, but la
ter seeing one of the women jump and
run after the team, gave the contrary
signal and the train passed on. The
lady who jumped up and ran for the
team was Mrs. Ochiltree, although ex-
animation proved that her ankle was
dislOcated and one bone was broken.
Finding one limb shorter than the other
she sat down and pulled the ankle joint
in place but was unable, of course, to
overcome the disadvantage of the tract
ured bone. Dr. Brooks was called to
reduce the fracture, and speaks in won
derment of the lady's ability to navigate
after receiving such severe injuries.
Mrs. Heathcoate and the children were
uninjured, while very little damage was
apparent about the rig. In this case
1t Is conspicuously demonstrated that
a horse never becomes so old as to be a
safe driver. The team was thirty-seven
years old, twenty and seventeen, respect
lively, and considered absolutely safe
drivers,

The condition of the negro IN the south
will always be a favorite subject with
that class of goody goodies who contri-
butte to missionary societies for the con-
version of the heather in the jungles of
Africa. The niggers have a wonderful
power in stirring their sympathies and
making them believe that the Caucasians
OF the nineteenth century are exceeding
ly brutal. The newspapers which at
tempt to show that the world is better
now than 1t was 100 years ago and which
are most severe in their criticisms OF
Bishop Potter, try to make it appear that
state of affairs is existing in the south
which would make barbarians blush for
shame. When our state legislature re-
peals law which punished lecherous
scoundrels properly for their offenses
against morality one would think a fit
subject for animadversion was presented
and that no newspaper in Wisconsin
would find it necessary to select SUBJ
jects from Louisiana upon which to
grow virtucusly indignant, Nor, indeed,
is sympathy for Ireland matter of such
imminent danger that paper should
sound note of warning.
A newspaper which is narrow, mean
and malicious in its editorial department
will always be lacking in influence. Petty
filings at Irish sympathizers may give
short lived popularity, but no paper can
build up lasting reputation upon ma
hcious sneers at a nationality or mis-
representation of a section.

SOME of the papers of the state have in
a friendly manner suggested the name Of
the editor of this paper in connection
with the Presidency of the State Editor
ial Association, and some friends among
editors have been active in personally
soliciting support for him. There is a
natural feeling of d1fidence in declining
in advance an honor which it is hardly
possible would, and certainly should not,
be offered. The succession Of right be-
longs to Mr.. Price and the mention OF
any other name at this time is inappro-
pirate. For very good reasons, which he
fully appreciates, the editor of this paper
would not accept the position even if
regularly elected. Probably under the
circumstances, modesty would suggest
silence, and the suggestion would be OBJ.
served If silence would not lead to mis-
understanding.

The strike among the miners in Rhe-
nish Prussia is an illustration of the eff
fects of protection. During the last cam
paign it was the condition of the English
laborer induced by free trade which was
portrayed to the American laborer as a
warning for him to guard against being
placed in a like deplorable condition.
Now, laborers in protected Germany strike
because they want wages equal to what
is paid in free trade England. Possibly
the protectionists will argue that Ger
many has not had protection for suffi-
cient length OF time to raise the price of
labor. But England has had free trade
and the laborer's condition is better there
than in Germany.

THE Milwaukee Sentinel with its
characteristic habit of falsifying reports
from the south relative to difficulties
with negroes, makes it appear that the
riot near New Orleans last week was an
unprovoked outrage on the part of the
whites. No mention is made of the fact
that the negroes were the aggresors; that
when the white fire department were on
parade the negroes assaulted them and
two white men were seriously stabbed;
that negro justice practically discharg-
ed the would-be murderer; that the negro
military company had decided to attack
the whites; that their guns loaded and
in readiness were stored in the engine
house of the negro fire company. Oh, no.
But it was matter deserving editorial
mention that four negroes were shot,
the statement being left in such form as
to create the impression they were killed,
when the fact is they were not danger
ously wounded.
Such Misrepresentation is contemplate.
/ he facts justified no such editorial COM
ments and in decency they should not
be made. But paper anxious to keep
alive sectional discord viii stoop to any
thing.

In commenting upon statement made
by the Pilot that Mr.. Rublee was an off.
Ger of an association, having its head
quarters in New York, one of whose CHIEF
tepets is free trade, as that term is now
understood, The Sentinel among othe,
things says:
The editor OF the Pilot shows himself
profoundly ignorant of the character OF
that society, when he asserts that one oil
its chief tenets is free trade. It includes
both protectionists and free traders
among its numbers.
Now, "Jack, mark how plain a tale
shall put thee down." The following is
one of the principles of the society as
printed in every publication which eman.
ates from it:
Trade has right to the freest scope
unfettered by taxes except for govern.
ment expense.
If that is not a free trade utterance
then was the democratic party greatly
belied last year by The Sentinel when i,
was denounced as advocating British free
trade. The society goes further in It's de-
mands for the destruction of the protec.
tive principle than the democratic party
dared go. AS before stated, Mr.. Rublee
does dot need to be ashamed of the com.
pany he is in. He may search the United
States and be unable to find any other
society whose aims are as creditable as
this which he had the good sense to Join.

THE intelligent farmer who voted for
perfection last fall because he has the
blessings of duty OF 20c per bushel on
Canadian wheat has now an opportunity
of mingling tears with his Canadian broth
er. The Canadian farmer wants to,be pro
tected against the United States farmer
he deems insufficient. Just think OF the
state of affairs: The Canadian farmer is
rushing his wheat into the United States
and paying duty Of zoe per bushel fol
the privilege, and the United States far.
mer is busy seeking market in Canada
paying 15c per bushel for that market
The intelligent farmer is having big
time?

ROBERT P. PORTER who has charge of
the census of 1890 wants to have nothing
to do with the civil service reform system
and wants to select his clerks entirely in
dependent of that bureau. Porter's ante
cedents readily gave rise to the suspicion
that he was selected for the purpose of
falsifying thescensus report and his de-
termination to select his assistants out
side the civil service bureau seems to be
the first step in the scheme. Porter's
selection for this work was an outrage
on decency. The taking of the census
| should be wholly free from partisan fea-
| lures. Under him it will be a political
| machine.

SOME purists affect to be Mortified at
Parnell's candid admission that in a
speech in the house of commons, he made
a statement not wholly true. Compare
his admission of the fact on the witness
stand with the perjured testimony of
some of our most prominent men and
then let Parnell be honored for his We
racity. In three months John Sherman
has been known to fatty contradict him
self number of times. In every in
stance it was done deliberately and in
the interests of his party. Parnell's mis-
statement was amply justified by the i'm
portant purpose it was designed to serve.

The Inter Ocean is always consisted
foolish. Gypsum-land plaster--if in
the crude state pays no duty. If ground
a duty of about 81 per ton is imposed.
A largo quantity of unground gypsum is
consequently imported from Nova Scotia.
But The Inter Ocean wants this thing
stopped and insists that if a tariff be i'm
posed the price will be reduced. This is
the old argument. If the cost Of ton of
gypsum to a farmer be increased 81 per
ton he will be able to buy it cheaper.
The farmer believes what The Inter Ocean
calls par adox and of course the proper
thing to do is to put on the tax.

THE Inter Ocean is printing a series OF
articles most virulent in their tone and
directed against the management of the
pension bureau under Cleveland's admin
istration. Gen. Black is denounced as
an envlous man who did what he could
to prevent his comrades from receiving
pensions. The ease with which pensions
are secured under Tanners rulings
is made the occasion for eulogium upon
that gentleman's patriotism.

THE Harrison administration is parti-

cularly good to editors. The republican
editor who docs Lot get taste OF the
flesh pots has reason to kick because of
invidious discrimination. It is a recog-
milton Of the workers in the field OF poll
tics. Harrison is evidently firm be-
lever in the old fiction that an editor has
influence because OF the position he &C.
cupies and he intends to forestall criti-
cism by making the editors part OF the
administration. 1t is good plan and
the fool farmers OF the northwest will
clap their hands with delight.
